A Meaningful Gift

    Emily was an eight grader. To pass her Civics course（公民课程）,she had to do some volunteer service in a nursing home for a week.

    One Monday, Emily went to the nursing home after school. When she arrived, she was told she would1an hour every weekday with an elderly lady, Mrs. Blair. She was then led into a room, where an old lady in a flowery dress was sitting on a sofa.

    Emily2awkwardly（别扭地） in front of the lady. She cleared her throat and said,“Good afternoon. I'm Emily.”

    “Good afternoon, Emily. Take a seat,please,”Mrs. Blair replied.

    Then,3filled the space between them. Emily wondered what to say.

    “Tell me about yourself,Emily,”Mrs. Blair said suddenly.

    “Well,” Emily started, “I don't have any grandparents, so I can't relate to elderly people much. I love the performing arts. I'm here mainly because I have to 4here to get a good grade for my Civics class.”Mrs. Blair didn't seem to5.Many people, especially teens, don't seem to care about old people like me. Now you're here, and I'm going to change that about you. Ask me anything.”

    Emily thought for a moment, and finally decided, “What was your job?”

    “I was a Broadway star in the 1950s,”Mrs. Blair answered.

    “Cool! Can you tell me about it?” Emily asked, amazed.

    Mrs. Blair smiled. “Back then, only the lead actress had the honor to wear a 6bracelet. I was the lead in almost all of the plays, so I always wore the bracelet. Till this day, I still have it.”

    Emily smiled along with Mrs. Blair and listened to the other stories, attentively. She had become so interested in Mrs. Blair's7that she decided to come earlier the next day.

    Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday passed by quickly. Then came Friday. As she was leaving, Emily was really8to say goodbye.

    “Don't be sad. You can still visit me,” Mrs. Blair comforted her. She then handed a small box to Emily, “It's my gift to you.”

    Emily9opened the box and was surprised to see what was inside. “It's the bracelet that you wore. Thank you!” Emily said, with tears in her eyes. “I'm sure to visit you whenever I'm free.”

    On her way home, Emily thought of her own love for the performing arts. She touched the bracelet and made a10that she would keep her word to Mrs. Blair.

材料一：历史上，中国至少曾有三次被公认为是地区最强大的国家。第一次是从公元前3世纪到公元3世纪，当时汉朝周边的一些国家开始进口汉朝的商品和技术……7世纪唐朝的建立不仅宣布了中国的第二次崛起，而且不断向四周扩展影响力……这种影响力还传播到了隔海相望的日本。1368年，明朝建立了。中国由此实现了第三次崛起，中国强大的力量给一些地区留下了很深印象……所到之处，以礼待人，尊重当地风俗……因而为中国赢得了信誉和朋友。

材料二：当乾隆皇帝津津乐道自己的“天朝上国无所不有”时，路易十六正躺在断头台上，以百倍的仇恨诅咒着资产阶级革命；当两鬓飞雪的范进因中举登科而神经错乱时，牛顿正在通过自制的反射望远镜，关注着宇宙间的天体运行……

       奂山山市，邑八景之一也，然数年恒不一见。孙公子禹年与同人饮楼上，忽见山头有孤塔耸起，高插青冥，相顾惊疑，念近中无此禅院。无何，见宫殿数十所，碧瓦飞甍，始悟为山市。未几，高垣睥睨，连亘六七里，居然城郭矣。中有楼若者，堂若者，坊若者，历历在目，以亿万计。忽大风起，尘气莽莽然，城市依稀而已。既而风定天清，一切乌有，惟危楼一座，直接霄汉。楼五架，窗扉皆洞开；一行有五点明处，楼外天也。
　　层层指数，楼愈高，则明渐少。数至八层，裁如星点。又其上，则黯然缥缈，不可计其层次矣。而楼上人往来屑屑，或凭或立，不一状。逾时，楼渐低，可见其顶；又渐如常楼；又渐如高舍；倏忽如拳如豆，遂不可见。又闻有早行者，见山上人烟市肆，与世无别，故又名“鬼市”云。
