21、Hanukkah is an eight-day winter holiday, which celebrates the successful struggle of the Jews against King Antiochus IV Epiphanes of Syria. There are many traditions to celebrate the day, such as lighting the menorah (多连灯烛台),frying potato pancakes and spinning the dreidel (四面陀螺).

One night in the 1990s, we tidied up wrapping paper and toys while the lighted menorah stood on the kitchen table. When we were not there, as the many-colored candles broke, our long-haired black-and-white cat, Ladybug, jumped onto the kitchen table and brushed past them.

"Do you smell something?" asked my husband, Donny. "Is something burning?" asked Molly, our oldest, age ten.

It was Ladybug! The fur on her left side had been burnt. She wasn't hurt, but she wore an upset expression all evening, and for the rest of the week she hid whenever we began chanting the Hebrew(希伯来语)blessings over the candles. "Though her fur grew out as thick as ever, Ladybug took a dim view of Hanukkah after that, clearly preferring less flammable holidays, like Labor Day.

The following year, for fifth-grade homework about family traditions, Molly wrote about Ladybug's story with the Hanukkah candles. The teacher, Lynn Fink, a sporty and funny woman, enjoyed Molly's story and gave it an A.

Three years later, Seth got Ms. Fink for fifth grade. He also worked the burnt cat fur into a writing assignment, and he, too, got an A.

Our son Lee, three years later: the same teacher, the same story, the same A. We had no idea these retellings were piling up.

The year Lily got Ms. Fink for fifth grade, she also felt inspired to write down what happened that night. By now, we were very fond of Ms. Fink. We invited her to join us for a night of Hanukkah. It was her first time to experience the Jewish holiday. Happily, she ate her potato pancakes. Gamely, she spun the dreidel. Delightedly, she opened the small gift of home-made cookies the children had prepared for her. As the evening seemed to be winding down, she clapped her hands, rubbed them together as if before a big dinner, and said excitedly," So! When do we torch the cat?"

22、Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people.Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are.Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors.This can put their pets in danger of serious illness.There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.

23、How to Be Productive During Difficult Times

When we have a hard time, we may turn to others for help.【1】Well, today we offer you some advice.

You had better turn yourself into your own hero. That is the idea behind Kendra Levin’s self-help book The Hero Is You. He studied stories from many different time periods and many different cultures. He found that many stories had something in common: a hero who goes on a journey. 【2】Making ourselves the hero in our own story, Levin explains, is of great significance.

【3】In stories, heroes also have a mission—what they want to accomplish—and a vision—what they see for themselves. Levin suggests that we write out our mission and vision, not just for a project but for our lives as well. With a clearly defined mission and vision, events in our lives no longer feel like separate events. They become a part of our larger story.

It’s essential to know your strengths and weaknesses. Levin explains that when we know our strengths, we can use them fully. In difficult times, we can make our lives easier by focusing on our strengths.【4】All heroes have them. On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn from them. The more we know about ourselves and the better we understand ourselves, the better we can figure out what to do to make the most of who we already are.

You might as well have small goals within a larger goal. Levin reminds us that the hero’s journey is not a one-time thing. It is a journey you are on your entire life. So, she suggests having small goals that you can measure in some way. And that's especially helpful if you have a large goal. 【5】

A．We may even wish we had a hero to help us.

B．It's recommended to write out your mission and vision.

C．It is even more important, she adds, to identify weaknesses.

D．She reminds us to be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves.

E．In stories, writers often give their hero, the main person in the story, a purpose.

F．On this journey, the hero overcomes a great challenge and changes for the better.

G．To feel a sense of accomplishment, it’s so important to break it down into smaller pieces.

24、   Mother's Day is a time of commemoration and celebration for Mom. It is a time of breakfast in bed, family gatherings, and crayon scribbled "I Love You".

【1】 During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday". Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40-day period leading up to Easter), "Mothering Sunday" honored the mothers of England.

During this time many of the England's poor people worked as servants for the wealthy. 【2】 On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. 【3】

As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the "Mother Church"-the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration. 【4】

While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.

Don't forget to tell our mothers how much we love and appreciate them. 【5】 Go ahead! Just do that!

A．Mothers are so great that everyone should respect them from now on.

B．The earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the mother of gods.

C．People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.

E．A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.

F．It's never too late to do that!

G．It is not important that Mother's Day is at different times throughout the year.

26、阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

How early must a student begin preparing for an international education? Lisa Jain, the representative of The College Board in India showed her idea here clearly.

Many students who want to study abroad believe they need to start planning for it only in Grade12. What they don’t realize is the amount of time, thought, and effort it requires. That is why a student should begin the ground work in Grade 10 in order to gain a clear understanding of what the college application process requires and to be prepared to deal with the pressures that will follow.

Focus on school grades and marks. It is important to try your best to perform well in academics throughout high school and not just in Grade 12.

Start gaining experience. Get involved in a small number of activities over a long period of time, such as a sport, the arts, writing, research, community work, etc, through which you create impact in the activity, climb to a leadership position, grow as a person and develop skills. Picking something in Grade 12 and claiming it’s your passion won’t work.

Begin research. Which country do you want to apply to colleges in? What do you want to study at college? Researching early and start reflecting on what you’d enjoy learning will make the college and major selection process less overwhelming in Grade 12.

All your efforts in Grade 10-11 will help ease your burden in Grade 12. If you do everything at the right time, you will find the process enjoyable and realize there is hardly a reason to stress. Just remember: The early birds catch the worms!

【写作内容】

1. 用约30个词概括上文的主要内容。

2. 用约120个词就“The early birds catch the worms.”谈谈你的想法，内容包括：

（1）你如何理解“The early birds catch the worms.”这一谚语？

（2）以你或他人的经历说明一切成功源于凡事早做规划，充足准备。

（3）如何才能成为“the early birds”？

【写作要求】

1. 作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文的句子。

2. 作文中不得出现真实姓名和学校名称。

【评分标准】

概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。
