21、 “Hey, do you know what? Today is May Day!” my sister announced. “Do you remember the May Day baskets we used to make with colored paper and paste?”
I recalled that my sisters and I would run around our neighborhood delivering the baskets brimming with spring flowers. We would place them on a doorstep, knock on the door, then run away. It was delightful to look around a bush and watch our friends open their doors and pick up the colorful gift,wondering who had left it out for them.
I clearly remember the May Day of the year that I was in fifth grade. That year I was faced with a challenge involving one of my dearest friends. She lived right across the road from our family, and we had walked together to school nearly every day since first grade.
Her interests were starting to change from the interests that we had shared together. A new family had recently moved into our small town,and Pam was spending more and more time at their house.
When my mother asked me if I was going to take a May Day basket to Pam's house, I responded angrily, “Absolutely not!” My mom told me that I would have many other friends throughout my lifetime. “But Pam was my very best friend ever,” I cried. Mom wiped away my tears and told me that circumstances change and people change. She explained that one of the greatest things friends can do is to give each other a chance to grow, to change and to develop into what we want to be. And sometimes that would mean that friends would choose to spend time with other people. I could express my forgiveness by giving her a May Day basket.
It was a hard decision, but I made an extra special basket of flowers with lots of yellow because that was Pam's favorite color. I asked my two sisters to help me deliver my basket of forgiveness. As we watched from our hiding place, Pam picked up the flowers, and said loudly enough for us to hear, “Thank you, Susie, I hoped you wouldn't forget me!”。
【1】 According to the passage what did Susie and her sisters do on May Day?
A. They gave their friends a basket of flowers secretly.

【2】Why was Susie angry with Pam?
A. Because Pam refused to walk to school.
B. Because she felt left out by Pam.

A. share the same interest with each other
B. spend most of their time together
C. leave each other enough room to grow
D. find chances to do great things
【4】What lesson can we learn from the story?

22、 Four things that you can't miss in Macao.
Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee Jump
The Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world's 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the acclaimed activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go! If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor --- it's still remarkable.
Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner
Macao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many comers of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people.
Marking at the Ruins of St. Paul
The Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul's College and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. It is beyond belief that after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge surface and the front stairway remain unburned.
Visiting a museum
Macao, as a tiny city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found.

23、 When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming many things. Sometimes, I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding new planets and jumping around in a cool space suit. Other times, I imagined being a cowboy in the Wild West, wearing stylish cowboy boots. On other occasions, I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals for my team.
Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments and scenarios in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the specific story of the day. Growing up with siblings (兄弟姐妹) also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories could be created, combining our ideas and putting our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties in the stories, as sometimes I could be the hero while on other occasions, I would be the bad guy.
One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was playing in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, which cleaned up at the cinema at that time, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as a bad person. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacles that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!
My personal favorite game was Indiana Jones and the Stolen Easter Eggs, where my brother hid small chocolate eggs around the garden and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving a puzzle. It was difficult, but eventually we found all the eggs and shared them together.
Since then, I have seen many great things and met many amazing people. The elements of fun and varieties of my creative imaginations are what I try to bring into every part of my positive life. So I can enjoy sharing with and hearing about other people’s stories, too.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was finally going to see Giant Rock with my brothers and Dad. I’d been snowshoeing before, and I liked the adventure of hiking through deep snow alongside wild-animal tracks. After putting on our snowshoes, we studied the map. Dad said, “We start here on the red trail, and then we turn left onto the purple one. That’s where Giant Rock is. Remember to stick together, guys!”
The trail ran uphill alongside a stone wall. It was easy to follow because red markers were nailed to the trees and the snow had been packed down by other hikers. Half way up the hill, we turned onto the winding purple trail. We settled into a rhythm, with Dad and everyone else in front and me in the back, crunch-crunching through the snow. The late afternoon sun felt warm, although it was already sinking lower. I saw lots of animal tracks-mostly deer, squirrel, and rabbit prints, which I recognized from my field guide.
An hour later, we topped the hill and saw the massive rock sitting alone in the forest. “It is really huge, as big as a house!” my brother Josh said, gazing up. Breathlessly standing in the rock’s giant shadow, I noticed the sun had dipped even lower.
“Let’s head back,” Dad said.
I was a little behind the group when I noticed a set of animal tracks I didn’t recognize. They were hard to see among the snowshoe prints, so I followed them off the trail for a closer look. There were no claw marks, which meant they didn’t belong to a dog or a fox. Instead, they looked like tiny handprints and footprints. “Must be a raccoon (浣熊),” I thought, matching them to prints in my guide.
I looked up when I suddenly realized how quiet it had gotten. I was totally alone. “Hey!” I shouted. “Where is everyone?” nothing. Just the sound of my own breathing. “They couldn’t have gone far. I’ll catch up to them if I hurry,” I thought, stepping back onto the trail. The light had grown darker by the second. Without flashlight and phone, I began running.
