Task 1

One of my teachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. My answer，however， invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why？ Because I felt the best when I firstlearned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didnt mind my classmates' stares and laughter，because I knew there was more to the story.

My sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship： We couldnt stand each other.Or， to be honest， she couldn't stand me. I admired her. Her personality was the definition ofcool. My clothes were mysteriously inclined to look like hers， and even my words tended tomimic （模仿） those I heard from home. Many times， I even wanted to literally follow my sister，crying every time I was banned from watching movies with her. Needless to say， I was abrat （淘气鬼） and an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had was usually reducedto fighting， and my sister had an extra six years worth of insulting （侮辱的） vocabulary（which meant she usually won）. After a while， I stopped trying to impress her andlearned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. Iwas wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern—I avoided her， she ignored me， and deep inside，our relationship was hurt. So that's how it was between us. Indifferent or hostile （敌对的）， she was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart.

I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that day，which was great， until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long abandonedany attempt to teach me; I had proved to be a panicky， frustrating student.

Paragraph 1：

I couldn't ride my bike， and on that day， it was no different._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My sister never once let me fall._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Task 2

The 26?year?old mother stared down at her son who suffered leukemia （白血病）. Althoughher heart was filled with sadness， she also had a strong feeling of determination.Like any parent she wanted her son to grow up and fulfil all his dreams. Now that was nolonger possible. The leukemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dreams tocome true.

She took her son's hand and asked，“ Bopsy， did you ever think about what you wantedto be when you grew up？ Did you ever dream and wish about what you would do with yourlife？”“ Mommy， I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up.” Mom smiled back andsaid，“ Let's see if we can make your wish come true.” Later that day she went to her localfire department in Phoenix， Arizona， where she met Fireman Bob， who had a heart as big asPhoenix. She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give hersix?year?old son a ride around the block on a fire engine.

Fireman Bob said，“ Look， we can do better than that. If you have your son ready atseven o'clock Wednesday morning， we'll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day.He can come down to the fire station， eat with us and go out on all the fire calls， the wholenine yards！ And， if you give us his sizes， we'll get a real fire uniform made for him， with areal fire hat—not a toy one—with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it， a yellowslicker like we wear and rubber boots. They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix，so we can get them fast.”

Three days later， Fireman Bob picked up Bopsy， dressed him in his fire uniform andaccompanied him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Bopsy got tosit up on the back of the truck and helped steer it back to the fire station. He was thrilled.There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Bopsy got to go out on all the three calls.He rode in the different fire engines， the paramedics' van and even the fire chief 's car. Hewas also videotaped by the local news program.

In July， my dad， mom and I flew to Whitehorse to care for my sick old grandfather. We planned to spend two months in the town of my youth.

A few days before we arrived， my grandfather called to say he was being flown to Vancouverfor another operation. My dad and mom had already booked the air tickets and theirleave from work， so even though my grandfather wouldn't be there， we made the trip northanyway.

Grandfather kept a puppy. It was the only companion of my grandfather while we werenot in Whitehorse. He had adopted it from a local shelter two years earlier and renamed itScruffy because it looked untidy. Its fur was messy. Its ears were like two wings when it ran.While we were alone in my grandfather's house with nothing to do， Scruffy saved us. Thedog needed to be walked. Those walks were chances to revisit where I'd grown up. I had leftthat small town behind as soon as I finished high school and had rarely visited home.Scruffy and I took my family to the school， where my picture still hung. We walked throughthe forest where I once rode my bike. With no one to talk to when my parents were occupiedwith their own business. I found myself chatting with Scruffy. It was too excited to seeme. I gave it many nicknames like Scruffmaster and Scruffman. It would happily respond tothem all.

By the fall， we were back in Toronto and my grandfather was back in Whitehorse. My mom and her brothers took turns flying to Whitehorse to take care of him.

We visited my grandfather again in November._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Task 4

Tom Satre owned a boat. One day， he was enjoying the weekend with his family.Tom's daughter Anna was looking around as the family was traveling across the water. Thenshe saw something strange from afar. They eventually got close enough to figure out what itwas. At first， they thought that it was a group of birds or maybe even some sea lions. Theirtheories were all wrong！ They were able to see ears. As they approached， they realized thatit was actually a group of deer struggling to stay afloat！

Everyone on the boat was surprised to find four sika deer approaching their way. Theystilled the boat and the four deer swam nearer and nearer. They swam right towards theboat， and then they started to circle the boat. They were looking up and looked like theyneeded help.

They were in Alaska. It should go without saying that the deer had to be taken out ofthe freezing waters. Tom said that these were the most upset deer he had ever seen in hislife. The deer were exhausted and they were clearly struggling to stay afloat. However， Tomand the others were unsure how they could get the deer on board.

As an outdoorsman， Tom was able to tell that the animals were young because theirantlers （鹿角） were not fully developed yet. He came up with a plan and attached rope totheir necks and everyone on the boat had to pull up the deer so that they can come onboard. Those poor deer！ Wild deer are normally easily frightened and cautious in the presenceof humans. Not these deer， however， as they climbed the boat immediately. Onceaboard， the creatures simply passed out from exhaustion. They couldn't stand up on theirown and they couldn't shake the water off their coats. The family didn't want to touch them，but it was clear that the deer were happy to be there. They probably would have crawled（爬） on board if they could have.

The family headed towards the dock （船塢） and the sunlight was keeping the deer warm._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

On their way back， Amy picked up a kite for Abbeyfrom the Dollar Tree， blue with rainbows—there are a lot of rainbows decorating homesaround the region these days， which helps make life less dull during the tough time.

In the afternoon， Abbey took the kite out for its first flight. At first， the wind was perfect.It took the kite high in the sky. However， suddenly， the wind became much strongerand pulled the kite out of Abbey's hands in a moment. It flew farther and farther and finallygot stuck on the power lines next to a big tree， wrapping itself over and over again aroundthe wires. Since the kite was too high for them to reach， the Greens could do nothing aboutit. Worried less about the kite than the danger it might present to the power lines， Amycalled National Grid （國家电网） to report the incident.

26 years later， I happened to see a notice in my local paper： “Women's BaseballLeague opens soon. Anyone interested， sign up at the recreation center.” I cut it out and setit on the kitchen counter. Was it even possible for girls to play baseball， a game I'd neveractually played but had dreamed of playing in my entire life？

Looking at that notice on my counter， I thought of a thousand reasons why I couldn'tplay. But the idea of playing baseball stuck in my head and wouldn't go away. Finally， Iscrewed up my courage and signed up. Days later， word came that I could begin practice inJames Park on Monday night.

On Monday， my heart pounding， I walked through the park filled with women of allhigh?school girls practicing at different diamonds. I waited a couple of minutes before approachingthe coach， who seemed unhappy to see me. He had just put together top athletesfor his team， and didn't want some old lady messing things up. He looked me over， who hadno mitt but wore an old T?shirt and gym shoes. However， I didn't care.

That very first day was quite bitter. He had me run bases all night and never gave mea chance to bat or play the field， with the attempt to make me shrink from difficulty. But hehad no idea how determined I was. I still showed up to play in the following Mondays，which clearly surprised him.

Finally， he gave in. During the last inning of the last game of the season， the coachtold me to go to the center field. I borrowed a mitt from a member of our team and caught animpossibly high ball with it， winning the game for us. Again， the coach looked surprised. Itnever hit him that I might be able to play.

It was a song about never giving up. Ijust let out all of my frustrations at the keyboard.

Over the next five years， the music career never materialized but I persisted. Then， in2019， I uploaded Dream Goes On to a music?sharing website. I just wanted someone to noticemy music.

During my time in primary school， I was an active participant in sports and games. Iwas good at athletics and particularly excelled in the long jump and sprinting （短跑）. Myabilities led me to win the B Division long jump competition， and I was chosen to representmy school in the District Sports Meet for both the long jump and relay events.

The District Sports Meet spanned two days. On the first day， I didn't have any scheduledevents， so I eagerly watched other athletes competing. Tents were set up for the participants.My school team was assigned the last tent， which happened to be the furthest onefrom the track. Despite the less?than?ideal location， we made the most out of it.

The second day arrived， and it was finally time for my events. The long jump tookplace in the early afternoon， followed by the highly anticipated 8×50 m relay later in theday. As the long jump competition began， I realized the competition was fierce.

Adding to the challenge， this remarkableyoung athlete also wore spikes （钉鞋）， which gave him an advantage over the rest ofus. Despite finishing in fourth place， narrowly missing out on a medal， I stayed positive.

While on the job， Jim had suffered a sad event that left him confused about what hewas supposed to do with the rest of his life. Jim had lost a good man that was on his team.The grief had eaten the captain up for weeks. He couldn't seem to get himself out of thedeep hole he had found himself in. That's when a massive change came his way.

A young boy and his mother walked up to Jim with a special request. It was normal forJim to have young and excited children come up to him to see the fire engine. However， hecould immediately sense that this boy had something else in mind. This young boy wasnamed Trucker. He was dressed in regular jeans and a T?shirt， but he had a firefighterjacket above this. Jim found this to be absolutely adorable and it also showed him howmuch Trucker cared about firefighting.

Trucker explained to Jim that he loved firefighters more than anything on the planet.His mother nodded in agreement with her son's statement. Trucker was fascinated by thefire department. This was common but Jim was surprised to hear Trucker's mother said hewas only 5 years old and had neuroblastoma （神经母细胞瘤）， a rare form of cancer thattypically affects young children.

Task 12

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath a willow tree. It must besick， for the branches were kind of yellow and dry. I was a deserted girl. Endless quarrelswith my parents had left me nowhere to go but this desolate （荒無人烟的） corner of thepark. As I sat on the bench， things that happened recently began to flash through. Daysseemed months to me recently. No cozy home to stay. No happy memories about my life. Noconsiderate family members to talk to. Even the book I was reading was no fun. Not contentwith life， I had a good reason to frown， for the world was intended to drag me down.

A young boy out of breath approached me， all tired from play. He stood right in frontof me with his head tilted （倾斜） down and said with great excitement， “Look what Ifound！” In his hand was a flower. What a pitiful sight！ Its petals （花瓣） were all worn，maybe because of not enough rain， or too little light. He must have picked the flower fromsomewhere shady and sunless， just like where I was staying these days. I couldn't helpbeing self?pitying. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play， I faked asmile and then looked away.“ Why couldnt everyone just leave me be！” I thought to myself，upset and gloomy.

But instead of leaving， he sat next to me and placed the flower to his nose and declaredloudly with certainty，“ It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful， too. That's whyI picked it; here， it is for you.” The“ weed” before me was dying or dead， not vibrant withcolors， orange， yellow or red—anyone having eyes can see that clearly！ But I knew I musttake it， or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower， and replied，“ Just what Ineed.” Strangely， instead of placing the flower in my hand， he held it in mid?air without anyreason or plan.

Paragraph 1：

Casting a curious glance at the boy's eyes， I was hugely shocked._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2：

“I had to make a change，” I thought to myself._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
