    Sara Savick remembers one special Easter when she was nine years old. Her parents gave her a baby duckling in a yellow basket.

    "Mom said later that she bought the little duck because she felt sorry for it," recalled Sara. The people at the pet store colored the feathers pink for Easter. Sara named the duck Pinky.

    Sara's mother really didn't think the baby duck would survive very long. But to her surprise, Pinky grew and got stronger and stronger. Soon, the little duckling was a healthy, hungry duck with white feathers.

    "We fed Pinky oatmeal, cooked and uncooked, and small pieces of vegetables," said Sara. Pinky lived inside the house with Sara and her family. She specially fancied taking baths with Sara. Everyone treated Pinky as a family member.

    But just when everything appeared to be perfect, the night of the "talk" came. Sara's Mom and Dad sat her down, explaining that the best thing for Pinky was to live a normal duck life, with other ducks. It was not natural for ducks to live indoors with a family, her father told her. He added Pinky needed to swim in ponds and do all the same things that ducks in the wild do.

    Sara started to cry, knowing what was going to happen. Sara's parents decided to take Pinky to a park, which was two miles away. There was a pond with a lot of other ducks. Pinky would have the chance to live a natural life and Sara could still visit her.

    The big day came, Sara and her parents put Pinky in a box and drove to the park. Sara said that Pinky did not look happy; maybe Pinky was convinced that she was a human, not a duck.

Paragraph 1

    Everyone was sad when they left Pinky at the pond, even Sara's father.

Paragraph 2

    The next morning, when looking out of the kitchen window, Sara couldn't believe her eyes!

    It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.

    We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad's friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.

    His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. "The day starts at dawn on my farm," he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.

    In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. "Don't be late for supper," Uncle Paul cried, "and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!" "OK!" my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的）blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Paragraph 1: Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.__________________________________
Paragraph 2: We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. ____________________________

    A quite funny thing happened to me last Friday. It was a fine day and I went to London to do some shopping. I had planned to get some Christmas presents. I also needed to find some books for my course at college as I am a student of Oxford.

    That morning I caught an early train to London, so by early afternoon I could buy something that I wanted. Anyway, I'm not very fond of London, all the noise and traffic, and I made some arrangements for that evening. I took a taxi to Waterloo station. I couldn't really afford a taxi, but I wanted to catch the 3:30 p.m. train. Unfortunately, the taxi got stuck in a traffic jam, and by the time I got to the Waterloo station the train had just gone. Disappointedly, I had to wait an hour for the next one. While I was waiting, I bought myself an evening newspaper, The Standard, and wandered over to the station buffet (自助餐). At that time of the day it was nearly empty, and I bought a coffee and a packet of biscuits (饼干)—chocolate biscuits. I'm very fond of chocolate biscuits. I found that there were plenty of empty tables and I sat by one near the window, where I could cozily enjoy my beverage and biscuits. Then, I began doing the crossword. I always enjoy doing crossword puzzles.(填字游戏)

    After a couple of minutes a man sat down just opposite me. It seemed that there was nothing special about him, except that he was very tall. In fact, judging from his clean dark suit and a fine briefcase, he looked pretty like a typical city businessman. I didn't say anything and I carried on with my crossword.

Paragraph 1:

    Suddenly he reached across the table, opened my packet of biscuits, took one, and put it into his mouth.

Paragraph 2:

    After I took the last biscuit and glanced at(瞥一眼) the man, he was staring at me angrily.

As a student in the sixth grade, I started to observe how my peers were beginning to form distinct social groups. I was uncertain about where I fit in and found it challenging to find my place among them.

Our teacher had introduced a unique assignment for the week: "secret friends." She wrote each student's name on a separate piece of paper, placed them in a glass container, and had us draw one without looking. The name we drew represented a classmate whom we were to support and befriend secretly over the course of the week. By the middle of the week, the assignment had evolved into a competition among us to determine whose secret friend would provide the most impressive gift. We left cards, pens, and even money for each other. It appeared that everyone was receiving thoughtful presents from their secret friends, except for me.

On the final morning of our assignment, I entered the classroom and found a package waiting for me. Upon unwrapping it, I discovered a box of powder inside. The girls nearby laughed at my gift, which was made worse by the fact that the powder had already been opened.

I attempted to put the embarrassing incident behind me, but during a break, when I was in the restroom, the same girls who had witnessed my reaction began to gossip about the poor choice of gift from my secret friend. In a moment of weakness, I joined in on the ridicule. "How thoughtless," I heard myself say, "What could my friend have been thinking to give me such a useless gift? My grandmother wouldn't even want it." The girls laughed at my comments and quickly left the restroom. I stayed behind to wash my hands, letting the water flow through my fingers as I reflected on my words. It wasn't characteristic of me to speak so harshly about someone else's intentions.

Paragraph 1：

Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth（厕所隔间），tears streaming down her face.

Paragraph 2：

Along with my apologies，I explained the reason.
