My father was in hospital with an aneurysm (动脉瘤). Immediately I bought a ticket for a flight and on my way I was 22 of all missed occasions (时机) to have a talk with my dad.‎ By the time I arrived at the 23 , my father had passed away.

Instead of working, he spent his days chewing (嚼碎) sticks, eating twigs, and drinking water.‎ Many other animals worked hard, and they tried to get Camel to help them. But each time, the stubborn camel simply said, “Humph.”‎ One day, Zebra carried sticks to make a fire for animals. “Camel, come and carry sticks like the rest of us,” said Zebra. “Humph,” said Camel.‎ The next day, Hippo carried water for the animals to drink. “Camel, come and carry water like the rest of us,” said Hippo. “Humph,” said Camel.‎ The third day, Coyote carried food for the animals to eat. “Camel, come and carry food like the rest of us,” said Coyote. Camel didn’t move. He simply responded, “Humph!”‎ This made the animals very angry. “Camel is lazy, and we work hard,” they said. “We will go to visit Genie (精灵) to see if he can help us.” Zebra, Hippo and Coyote went to Genie and told him about Camel’s laziness. ‎ Genie went to Camel’s home and found him resting. “Stubborn Camel, you have been lazy. You must work with the other animals and help them,” Genie said. “Humph,” Camel replied. “Do not say that again,” said Genie, “You have given the other animals three days of extra work.” “Humph,” Camel snapped. Genie waved his arms, and Camel’s flat back began to puff up into a big bump (隆起), as Camel watched in surprise. “You brought this humph (we call it “hump” now) upon yourself by being lazy,” said Genie, “Now you must work for three days without drinking or eating to make up for the work you missed. You can live off your hump (驼峰).” So Camel stomped off to work, humphing the whole day. And that’s how the camel got his hump.‎ ‎29. What did Camel do each day?‎ A.

You can do the same with this science project by examining which foods ants love best.‎ Research Questions:‎ · What types of human foods do ants prefer?‎ · Would ants rather have: a cookie, an apple, a piece of bread, a carrot, or a piece of meat?‎ Materials:‎ · Five small plastic plates · Cookie · Apple · Pieces of bread · Carrot · Pieces of meat · Anthill (蚁冢)‎ Experimental Procedure：‎ ‎1.

Let me tell you why that idea may fail you. I know people who graduated at 21 and didn’t get a job until they were 27. I know people who graduated late at 25 and they found work immediately. I know people who never went to university but found what they love at 18. I know people who found a job straight out of college making much money but hate what they do. I know people who took gap years and found their purpose. I know people who were so sure about what they were going to do at 16, but they changed their mind at 26. So my point is everything in life happens according to our time, our clock. You may look at some of your friends and think that they’re ahead of you. Maybe some of them you feel are behind. But everything happens at their own pace (速度). They have their own time and clock and so do you. Be patient. ‎ It took till 32 for J.K. Rowling to be published for Harry Potter. Ortega set up Zara when he was 39. Jack Ma started Alibaba when he was 35. Morgan Freeman got his big break (机遇) at 52. Steve Carell only got his break after 40 years old. Virgin was started by Richard Branson at 34.‎ ‎ Getting your degree (学位) after 25 is still an achievement. Not being married at 30 but still happy is beautiful. Starting a family after 35 is still possible. And buying a house after 40 is still great. Don’t let anyone rush you with their time lines. As Einstein said, “Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that’s counted truly counts.” And this is the most important thing. I want you to be able to have meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling (让人感觉有意义的) lives for yourselves, and learn how to use that to make a difference in the lives of others. That will be the true success.‎ ‎37.

Remember to look at someone and think they are behind. ‎ D. Enjoy your meaningful life and make a difference in others’ as well.‎ ‎40.

At other times, he is able to make it big and long.‎ Children all over China love the Monkey King. ‎ 五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）‎ A) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第56—65小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为56—65的相应位置上。    ‎ 注意：每个空格只填一个单词。‎ When it comes to judgement (评价) of their bodies, women can’t win. I spoke to two women who were shamed for being fat, and after losing weight, shamed for being fit.‎ Sarah Moore is a 29-year-old mother of three children from Indiana, US. She became a personal trainer after losing more than 45 kg. She remembers the fat-shaming that happened to her before her weight loss. When waiting to get on a roller coaster, people behind her were complaining about the wait, and the person who worked there said, “Don’t worry. She’s probably not going to fit on here, and you’ll be next.” But after losing weight, Moore said people commented (评论) on her body even more. “Now I get comments like, ‘Are you sure you can eat that?’ I think they’re worried I’ll get the weight back,” she said. How does it make her feel? “Fat-shaming brought me sadness and I couldn’t get any help. Fit-shaming makes me feel angry,” she said.‎ Changes in body weight can also influence relationships. It can break the balance because people who lose weight can not only become more confident but also be the envy of others.‎ Fit-shaming has been more difficult to deal with for Andrea Sereda, a 38-year-old social worker in Canada. She said judgement of her body is something she’s faced for years. Sereda said that when she was 9, her grandfather said to her at a birthday party, “I don’t think you should eat cake,” and made comments about how many calories each bite had inside as she ate it. The judgement of Sereda’s body increased after she lost 57 kg. Closer friends seemed to compare their own bodies negatively (消极的) with Sereda’s new body type. “I am afraid of going out and having to deal with all these comments,” Sereda said.‎ Let us try to understand that just because someone has lost weight, it doesn’t make them ‎ fair game (可抨击的对象) for comments on their new shapes. Everyone should live free of being body shamed, paying no attention to how they look.‎ Shamed for being fat or 56 ‎ Examples Sarah Moore Andrea Sereda Before ‎ losing weight Someone 57 whether she could fit on the roller coaster.‎ At a party, her grandfather 58 her eating cake.‎ ‎ 59 losing weight People made even 60 comments on her body.‎ It was not pleasant for her friends to ‎ ‎ 61 her new body type with their own.‎ The two women’s ‎ 62 ‎ She used to feel sad and 63 for being fat and is angry for being fit now.‎ She was afraid to 64 out and deal with all these comments.‎ The writer’s ideas ‎· We’d better not comment on those who have lost weight. ‎ ‎· We should live 65 having shame for our body.‎ B) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66—75的相应位置上。 ‎ If asked to name the most famous cartoon character from their country, Americans may say Mickey Mouse. And people in Belgium would proudly m 66 Tintin. And in China, the title would probably go to Sanmao, a thin boy with only three hairs on his head, who was c 67 by the late comic artist Zhang Leping (1910 – 1992). ‎ On March 26, Zhang was given the Special Honor award at the 2018 International Illustrated Silent Book Contest. Zhang is the first Chinese cartoonist to ever r 68 this prize.‎ The story of Sanmao starts with his moving to Shanghai to make a living. As an orphan (孤儿), Sanmao has n 69 to depend on and has to take on many different jobs, such as selling newspapers, polishing shoes and performing kung fu. But still, it’s h 70 for him to afford the cost of living. He has to sleep on the streets and is often laughed at by strangers.‎ Although his living conditions are p 71 , Sanmao is a kind boy who often shares whatever little food he has with homeless people. He is also a boy of integrity (正直). For example, he r 72 to join a group of thieves who promise to feed him every day in exchange for his services.‎ According to Sanmao’s e 73 , people learn about the most turbulent (动荡的) moments of Chinese history in the 20th century. This is why even though Sanmao is often seen as “China’s Tintin”, his tale is c 74 to be much darker than that of the Belgian character.‎ The birth of Sanmao also filled a blank (空白) in the Chinese comic i 75 . Using the skill ‎ of line-drawing, Zhang wrote no dialogue and used the simplest brushwork to show the complexity of life in old Shanghai.‎ 六、书面表达（满分15分）‎ ‎“自我保护”是青少年需要掌握的重要技能。请根据以下要求，以“How to Keep Myself Safe”为题，写一篇短文。‎ YOUR OPINIONS ARE WANTED!‎ Hi!
