Helping Hally

Sam was sitting on the couch, watching television. His mom walked into the room with Hally, their dog.

Mom said, "①have, we, Hally, help, to (. ) "

"Help her how?" asked Sam.

"Do you remember when we went to pick up Hally from her litter? We picked her because she looked like her mom. She is brown with spots, with long ears, and she was energetic, so we thought she'd be strong, like her mom. But how does she look now?" Mom asked.

"Well," thought Sam, "She's still brown with spots and long ears, but she's not very energetic or strong anymore."

"That's what the vet said, too. We haven't been letting her exercise as much, and we've been feeding her a lot. She would probably look just like her mom now if we had walked her more. ② We have to start walking her more often. And then she'll stay healthy for a long time. Will you help?"

"Sure!" said Sam. He decided that he could play fetch with her every day in the yard, because then she could run and run and run until she was tired.

The first day, they only played fetch for about 10 minutes before Hally was tired. But Sam kept playing with her every day. Soon, they could play for an entire half an hour! Hally looked stronger every day, just like her mom. Sam felt great about helping Hally get strong again.

Tom Avery is one of the only 41 people ever to have reached both the South and North Poles. He was born in December 1975 and brought up in England, Brazil and France. His passion(强烈爱好) for adventure began when he was just seven years old and first read about the expeditions(探险) of famous explorers.Perhaps this was the start of his plan to put together the ultimate(终极的) joumey —— to the very top of the world, the North Pole, following the route taken by Robert Peary in his 1909 adventure.

Both Peary and Avery set off from Cape Columbia in Canada. Peary had a larger team and in fact had four support groups. Every 160 kilometers, a group would leave plenty of food and then turn back. The team therefore got smaller the further north they travelled. While Avery didn't have as many on his team, they did have food dropped by plane for them at four locations.

Avery's team also had the obvious benefit of modern technology, but Avery doesn't believe this made a big difference. He credits (把……归功于) his team's success to the 16 Inuit dogs that pull the sledges(雪橇)."It wouldn't have been possible without them,"he said."Your speed depends on the dogs and how quickly you can get a sledge through the ice."His team were travelling at the end of winter and this meant that the ice was thinner and could easily break under a person's weight. This was an added danger.

Another difference between both men's journeys was that Peary was far more experienced than Avery and had already been on several trips to the Arctic.

Peary claimed(声称) to have reached the North Pole in 39 days, but some historians argue that this was not possible. Avery's team actually beat this time and became the fastest to get there on foot. Avery says,"We told everyone we could do it and that we wouldn't fail. But it certainly wasn't easy."

On Jayne's {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(twelve) birthday, she called to tell me that she would come to visit me. This morning, she kept sending me {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(message) on her way to our house in Virginia, the US. 

"Grandma, can you put some snow in the fridge? That way, I can feel snow {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I get there, "she wrote. In the past 12 years, Jayne had lived with her parents in the south of Georgia, the US, so she had never seen snow before. 

"Yes, I will, " I wrote. "There is still some snow on the ground in the yard. " And I sent her a few photos of it. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, the weather report brought me bad news. It said. the weather would be sunny at noon. This made me {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(feel) worried. 

In the afternoon, they{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(final) arrived. Jayne got out of the car first. She didn't even have time to hug us. She ran into the yard and put {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(she) hands in the snow. She looked so excited. It was great that the sun didn't come out that day. 

"Grandma, the weather is so cold, but I enjoy playing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} snow, " Jayne said. Then she started to build a snowman. After working for a while, a lovely snowman {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(finish). At last, she put her hat on its head. It looked nicer and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(smart). She kept playing outside until her hands got wet and cold. 

Watching her playing in the snow made me realize that small things can also make us happy. 

 短文填空:在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。

Gifts are a way for people to show love. When you plan to choose gifts for your friends or family, you may spend lots of time thinking about{#blank#}1{#/blank#} their favourite gifts are. I think a handmade gift is the best choice. And you don't need to worry about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} your gift is expensive or not. 

For example, on Teachers'Day, many students would like to make  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they) teachers gifts by hand. It may be a simple(简单的) handmade wallet,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} it may be a warm scarf. The handmade greeting card(贺卡) is a nice choice too. Many students stick or draw some pictures, and then they write down{#blank#}5{#/blank#} they really thank teachers' help and encouragement. More than anything, the gift comes from the heart and shows them your love and care. I believe teachers will feel  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(surprise) at all the things students make by themselves. By the way, do you know  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Teachers' Day is? It falls on September 10th. 

And I want to share {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you can improve your gift-making skills. You can learn from the Internet or other people. It's a good idea to hold a gift-making party and let everyone share gifts they made for others. I believe you  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(learn) more skills in the future. At the same time, it will make the relationship(关系) between you and your friends stronger. 

Someone may ask  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it seems hard for him to show others his love. There are many answers, but advice is: Don't be shy to show your love or be afraid to make mistakes! Just have a try!
