I hope my lecture will help others learn more about China.

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My husband, BJ, and I knew our cat, Willow, was beautiful, but we didn't realize she had attracted a friend until the day there was an orange cat sitting on our patio(露台) staring in. He just sat there and was satisfied to watch Willow walking in the house and playing with us.
Day after day, he was there. Then one day, BJ and I decided that it was time to have a talk with the orange gentleman. He opened the patio door and the cat walked into the house naturally as if he knew we allowed him to get in. Then he played with Willow in the house. Both of them had a happy time.
How could he wait patiently on our patio for such a long time? We were surprised by his courage and patience. Every day, the cat would show up, spend the day with us, and then meow (猫咪咪叫) by the door to be let out at night. We had a responsibility to help him open the door and let him go—after all, he wasn't our cat. He was nobody's cat as far as we could tell. He had no collar(颈圈) or tag. I didn't remember how long we had waited before we admitted to ourselves that he was our cat. Then we bought him a collar, tagged him as Buster and added our phone number and address. However, a few days later, we received a call from our neighbor. We weren't home so she left a message.
“Hi, Darlene. I think you have my daughter's cat. Call me when you get this message.”
I was very surprised when I heard the message. I didn't even know that her daughter had a cat. I only saw her walk dogs before. BJ and I were very upset.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
When I called her back，the story of the cat was so funny that I forgot how upset I was.
The next day, the neighbor's young daughter came over to collect her cat.
One possible version：
When I called her back, the story of the cat was so funny that I forgot how upset I was. Buster had been adopted as a kitten by our neighbor's daughter, but the cat had to stay in the girl's bedroom because they had dogs. During the day, he was let out to walk around the neighborhood, and this was when he would come to our home to be with Willow, eat her food, play with her toys and please her mommy and daddy. Then he would leave us, go back home and spend the night with his mommy.
The next day, the neighbor's young daughter came over to collect her cat. I forced a smile as I watched Buster being carried away. He had brought so much joy to our family. But about half an hour later, the young girl called and asked if she could come over. She brought her cat back and bravely stated that she felt Buster would be happier with us because he could have the run of the house without fear of being hurt by dogs. I was so happy, and I told her that she could come by to see Buster anytime.

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Growing up, we didn't have much money. Actually, we had very little. We lived in a small house with holes in the floor. We wore old clothes and had little food. With three little mouths to feed, my dad worked as a gatekeeper in a middle school and then farmed our own small field until dark. Daddy provided the best he could for us and Mom made our clothes on her old sewing machine. We could have easily applied for welfare, but my parents wouldn't think of it. Our family was full of love and proud of hard work.
Then I was in the third grade, in Mrs. Harper's class. One day, Mrs. Harper brought a huge box of toys to school to give to “poor” children. Everyone was invited to bring some of his or her own toys from home to put in the box. Needless to say, I had hardly any toys of my own to offer.
My eyes got big the next day when I looked into that box. It was like a dream world to me—so many colorful toys! Clearly, Mrs. Harper saw the curious look on my face, and although I never asked with a smile, she let me pick out two toys for myself from the box. I was so thankful and thought that I was the luckiest girl in the whole world!
When I got home, I couldn't wait to show Mom what I brought from the school. She admired the toys and asked where I got them. I told her about the box for the poor children and that Mrs. Harper had made me pick two toys from the box！Mom thought for a few seconds and said in a very sweet way，“No...no, you can't keep these two toys.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Mom explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children.
Mrs. Harper said she understood what Mom meant.
One possible version：
Mom explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children. She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat. Above all, we had a family and we loved each other. We were not poor at all. But there were many children who didn't. They were the people who really needed the toys. Eventually she asked me to take the two toys back to school and put them in Mrs. Harper's box.
Mrs. Harper said she understood what Mom meant. And after school, she took me and some of my classmates to the street to hand out those toys. When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children, I began to understand what Mom had told me. Mom was long gone, but her words have stayed with me all the time.

Cody and his sister April decide they want to have a pet dog. They head down to the local pet store and have a look around. It is a very small pet store that does not have many animals.
The owner of the shop is a nice old man named Mr. Smith. He walks over and greets Cody and April.
“How can I help you？”he asks.
“We would like to buy a dog，”April responds.
“Ah, well, we are not a big pet shop，”Mr. Smith tells her.“So we only have two dogs to choose from.”
They ask Mr. Smith to show them the dogs.
Mr. Smith leads them to the back of the store where the two dogs are. One of them is a very big Bulldog named Buster. It looks strong and fierce. The other is a very tiny Chihuahua named Teacup. It looks cute and lovely.
April wants Teacup, the Chihuahua, while Cody wants Buster, the Bulldog. To make a decision, they walk outside to discuss.
Even after they have a discussion, they cannot agree on a dog. April suggests they race home for it. The winner of the race will choose the dog.
Cody agrees. Before the race starts, Cody tells April that her shoelace is untied. When April looks down, he runs off and gets a head start.
Cody runs as hard as he can. He really wants that Bulldog as a pet. He looks back. April is so far behind he cannot even see her.
Cody finally gets home. He is tired but he is happy. He knows he is the winner.

April arrives a few minutes after Cody. She looks angry at first, because Cody cheated her to get a head start. Cody apologizes for cheating her, and explains that he really likes the Bulldog. April accepts his apology and congratulates him on his being the winner and hence getting to choose the dog. They return to the pet store to purchase Buster, the Bulldog. However, when they arrive at the pet store, they only see Teacup, the Chihuahua. They ask the owner where Buster is.
Mr. Smith tells them the details. He explains that a few minutes after April and Cody left, two boys walked in and decided to buy the Bulldog. Cody looks at April, and she holds back a smile. Both of them did not expect that would happen within a short time. Cody sighs. He turns back to Mr Smith.“Sometimes you win the race, but not the prize！”Cody says sadly, and points at the only dog left.“We will take the Chihuahua, please.”

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When one of our regular customers named Violet entered the store where I worked, I immediately greeted her with a big smile. She wore her usual sweater and her white hair was combed in its natural wave. The only thing missing was her bright smile.
“You may remember my husband passed away two months ago，” she said. “Our grandson feels really sad without him.”Violet told me her husband had played and shared many interesting stories with their elevenyearold grandson and they had built a very close relationship. So she was looking for something to make her grandson happy again.
We searched the store shelves for a right gift to help reduce her grandson's pain. “What about this？” I suggested, pointing to a painting of a boy walking through the darkened forest. Violet and I stood sidebyside and stared at this painting for a long time.
“That would be perfect，” Violet said. “If only I had that much money.” I hesitated (犹豫). Though we had no discount, I told Violet that there was a special twentypercent discount for her. “That's kind of you, but it's still more than I can afford，” she said with her head down. “I only have twenty dollars to spend.” We were silent for a while, then, a thirtysomething man entered the store. I greeted him and said, “I'll be right with you.”
“No hurry，” said the man. He slowly stood behind us. “Nice painting，” he said to Violet. “Are you going to buy it？” “Well，” Violet answered and then went on to tell him her hesitation.
After listening to her story, the man said, “I'll pay the balance.” Violet raised a gentle protest (反对)．“I couldn't let you do that.” The man said, “I simply enjoy helping people. Besides, this painting is perfect for your grandson.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
The man reached up to remove the painting from the wall and asked me to wrap it up.
I turned to the man and asked if I could help him.
One possible version：
The man reached up to remove the painting from the wall and asked me to wrap it up. With tears in her eyes, Violet stood in front of the counter next to us and watched me wrapping this painting. “It's so kind of you，” she said to the man. I gave the painting a discount as I had promised. And Violet set her twentydollar bill on the counter. Then the man paid the rest of the money. After thanking him again, Violet left the store.
I turned to the man and asked if I could help him. He thought for a moment and took a casual walk around the store shelves. Finally, he took a magazine from the bookshelf, merely giving it a quick look. After paying for it, the man left with a big smile. I was moved by him, because I knew his only purpose of visiting here was to help the old woman buy a gift to cheer her grandson up.

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I truly learned what a best friend is in my first year at high school. Kate and I were good friends and we were inseparable (分不开的). We spent every day together and always had a good time.
Then basketball season started and we were on the same team. After a few games, however, Kate got moved up to the Rose Cup fulltime. I wouldn't admit it then, but in fact I envied (嫉妒) her much. Having different practice times, we began to see less of each other and talked less. Soon I was told by others that she was talking behind my back.
One night, I called Kate to tell her about my new haircut. To my great surprise, the next day at school she told everyone that I copied her style because she had told me she wanted to get her cut like this. As a result, I was angry and quite disappointed with her. At noon she handed me a letter and walked away instead of talking with me. I couldn't accept the cruel words on the paper. In great anger，I wrote right back to her. Over the next week, we exchanged more hurtful letters. I cried myself to sleep every night, believing our friendship was over.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
One night my mom took me to Kate's home.
It has been five months since we broke up with each other.
One possible version：
One night my mom took me to Kate's home. Our moms looked at each other, nervous and worried. Kate's mom asked us questions but we both kept silent. I stared at the floor, angry and sad. At last, I let everything out with tears in my eyes. The huge burden in my mind was slowly lifted as we each talked about how we were feeling these days. To my relief, it was all out. Suddenly, to my great surprise, Kate rose from her seat, crossed the room and hugged me with tears. Then I could hardly hold back my tears and hugged her back.
It has been five months since we broke up with each other. Last weekend we played together again, laughed a lot and had a good time. It makes me happy that we are not only learning to care about each other more but also value our friendship. Now I know whenever I am asked about my friends at high school, Kate will be my best friend forever.
