The Magical Snow Garden by Tracey Corderoy
A little penguin named Wellington, who lives in the snow, dreams of his own flower garden. His best friend, Rosemary, helps him create his own flowers out of bits of paper, springs, gears, and other things that can be repurposed. Together, they create a beautiful garden. Sadly, a snow storm destroys the beautiful flowers. Wellington’s friends won’t let him give up, and together they rebuild the garden better than ever.

23、 I grew up in a middle-class household in Australia. In terms of safety and standard of living,a comfortable lifestyle is all I ever knew,and as a result,I was not aware just how lucky I was.
It was a Monday,and a teacher told us about an oversea mission trip to Cambodia. I had never been overseas before,and I knew absolutely nothing about Cambodia,but something inside of me knew l needed to go on this trip.
I spent the next few months working on S7. 25 hourly wage at an awful fast food chain,saving every penny I earned. Just days before the trip was set to depart,I managed to hit my target.
I will never forget the moment I nervously stepped off the plane in Cambodia. I vividly recall the sight of malnourished (营养不良)children begging for money tearing at my heart. I saw what true poverty looked like as we went to hand food packages out at a massive garbage dump in the city,home to thousands of families,many of whom were forced to seek for food among the rubbish.
On the following days,I played with children who,despite living in hard conditions, were overflowing with joy and happiness. I met families who,despite having nothing,were some of the kindest people I'd ever met. For the first time,my eyes were opened to the reality that happiness is not defined by money. People here were rich in relationships and community,and shared with each other the little that they had.
Through the trip,I began to see the value of learning from people of other races,cultures and religions. I finally saw that there was a much bigger world outside of my little one,and experienced first-hand the beauty of human diversity.
【1】How did the author react when hearing about the overseas mission trip?
A. she considered it a little bit risky.
B. She really looked forward to taking it.
C. She hesitated in the first place.
D. She imagined a lot about Cambodia.
【2】How did the author feel when she saw the children at first?
A. Upset B. Bored
C. Moved D. Inspired
【3】What did the author think of the locals after getting along with them?
A. They considered wealth very important.
B. They were poor but had their simple pleasure
C. They struggled very hard to become rich.
D. They were really bad at building relationships.
【4】What was the biggest benefit the author got from the trip?
A. She got some work experience.
B. She learnt to be independent.
C. She made friends with some locals.
D. She learned about the outside world.
24、We’ve all heard of terms IQ and EQ, which are commonly used. But have you heard of AQ? 【1】 Being able to handle these rough periods we all go through is not only important in our personal lives but in our professional lives too.
Adverse situations can take us by surprise and shock us. 【2】 Failed friendships and relationships, financial hard times and even sorrows of losing beloved ones can occur outside of work. AQ measures our ability to withstand the shocks when life throws curveballs at us and can be used to predict our resilience (承受力) when there is a dramatic change. So how can we learn to be more resilient?
Luckily, there are some steps you can take to help you be more resilient in the face of adversity. 【3】 Resilient people often have an aim and are able to concentrate more on a desired outcome, seeing negative situations as a bump in the road on the way to achieving their goal. Learning to relax and regulate your emotions is another key step. One way to help you out of stress is by practising breathing exercises. Similarly, focusing on unhappy or uncertain things can cause you to be stressed. See difficulties more as an opportunity to learn and grow emotionally. Finally, make sure you have a good social support network. 【4】
We can’t prevent things happening in life. 【5】 But taking a few steps to be more resilient can make them a little easier to get through.
A.Sometimes they aren’t pleasant.
B.First, try and find a meaningful goal.
C.Setting a realistic goal is the first step to your successful career.
D.AQ measures your ability to deal with the ups and downs of life.
E.Being able to talk with someone about the challenges we face can help.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a break time at the village school. The bell had rung, and the children had run out into the bright sunshine, wild with laughter and fun. They chased after each other and played heartily, with giggles lingering in the relaxing atmosphere.
All but poor Davy. He came out last and very slowly, but he did not laugh. He was in trouble, and the bright, golden sunlight did not make him glad.
He walked across the yard, and sat down on a stone behind the old maple. A little bird on the highest branch sang just to make him laugh.
But Davy did not notice it. He was thinking of the cruel words that had been said about his ragged clothes. The tears stole out of his eyes, and ran down his cheeks. He closed his eyes to hold back his tears and bit his lips tight.
Poor Davy had no father, and his mother had to work hard to keep him at school. The bell finally rang, indicating it’s time to come home.
At four o’clock that afternoon, he went home by the path that led across the fields and through the woods. He still felt sad. Davy did not wish to trouble his mother; so he wandered a while among the trees, and at last threw himself on the green moss (苔藓) under them.
Just then his teacher came along. She saw who it was, and stopped, saying kindly, “What is the matter, Davy?”
He drooped his head and did not utter a word, but the tears began again to well up.
“Won’t you tell me? Perhaps I can help you.”
Deeply encouraged by her warmth and sincerity, he poured out all his trouble he came across. When he ended, she was lost in deep thought and for a while she came up, gave Davy a consoling pat and said, cheerily, “I have a plan, Davy, that I think will help you.”
“Oh, what is it?” he said, sitting up with a look of hope, while a tear fell upon a blue violet (紫罗兰).
“Well, how would you like to be a little flower merchant?”
