AThe Gloria Barron Prize honors American young people from 8 to l8 who have shown leadership and courage in public service．Each year ten winners each receive$2，000 to support their higher education or their service work．Ellie Wen，18，was volunteering at a community center in Los Angeles．The center was set up to help immigrant families．She happened to meet adults in an EFL(English as a foreign language)class．“When I saw them struggling hard，I wondered how people in poor countries could learn English，”Ellie said．So she started a Website，“Repeat After Us”，where people can listen to English and practice their accents．V olunteers have helped Ellie record more than 6，600 texts，including Abraham Lincoln’s“Gettysburg Address”．Hard work pays off．There were so many times that Ellie was discouraged，but she stuck to it．The Website crashed early on，and all the recordings were lost．But volunteers worked together vigorously to start over，and the visitors returned to the site．“Just follow your idea and know that the world is so kind．Even if you do have trouble，people will help you,”Ellie said．“I was really excited the first mont h，when we had 49 visitors，”she said．Now，more than 480，000 people from a11 over the world have visited the site．“I get e-mails from China，Egypt，India，and Brazil．”They say，“Thank you so much for this resource，we’ve been waiting for it for so long!”Ellie love s knowing she is helping so many people．Gloria Barron Prize winners like Ellie are enthusiastic about the work they do．And they encourage others to join in if they see a need．Anybody can be negative，but it needs somebody brave to be positive．Are you the brave one？1．Choose the right order of the following．a．Ellie started a Website，Repeat After Us．b．Ellie happened to meet adults in an EFL class．c．All the recordings were lost．d．Ellie became a Gloria Barron Prize winner．e．More than 480，000 people from all over the world visited the site．A．c—b—a—e—d B．a—e—d—c—b C．b—a—c—e—d D．b—c—a—e—d 2．Which of the following statements is true?A．The Gloria Barron Prize honors people showing leadership and courage．B．Each year ten winners share US$2，000 to support their higher education．C．Ellie Wen was badly paid at a community center in Los Angeles．D．People can practice their English via Ellie’s website．3.The writer mainly talks about_____．A．how to open up a website with the help of othersB．how to teach immigrant families English via the InternetC．the Gloria Barron Prize and the story of one of its winnersD．young people who help others in various waysBCell phones：Is there a cancer link?Could your cell phone give you cancer? Whether it could or not，some people are worrying about the possibility that phones，power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes to brain tumors．Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties．David Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany，in New York，thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia(白血病)．Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors．“It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk，”said Carpenter．But others believe these concerns are not justified．Dr Martha Linet，head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学)at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion．“I don’t support warning labels for cell phones，”said Linet．“We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger．”Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs(电磁场)and illness—so weak that it might not exist at a11．A multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancer，in 13 countries outside the US，has been underway for several years．It’s funded in part by the European Union，in part by a cell phone industry group．The final report should come out later this year，but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk．4．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________.A．they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancerB．they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone useC．some experts have given a warningD．cell phones are responsible for brain tumors5．By saying“I don’t support warning labels for cell phones，”Dr Martha Linet has the idea that_______.A．the worrying is unnecessaryB．cancer—warning labels should be on cell phonesC．there is a link between cell phones and cancerD．cell phones have nothing to do with cancer6．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate? A．Optimistic．B．Objective．C．Opposite． D．Casual．7．The underlined word“justified”in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_____．A．explained B．confirmed C．classified D．restrictedCCan you believe your eyes?A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age．Martin Doherty，a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland，led the team of scientists．In this experiment，Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力)of some people，using pictures of some orange circles．The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people．The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10，and the second group included 24 a—dults aged 18 to 25．The first group of pictures showed two orange circles alone on a white background．One of the circles was larger than the other，and these people were asked to identify the larger one．Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time．Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time．Next，both groups were shown pictures where the orange circles，again of different sizes，were surrounded by gray circles．Here’s where the trick lies．In some of the pictures，the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles—making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle，which was the real larger one．And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle．When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures，they weren’t fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before．Older children and adults，on the other hand，did not do as well．Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one，and adults got it wrong most of the time．As children get older，Doherty said，their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context．In other words，they will begin to process the whole picture at once：the tricky gray circles，as well as the orange circle in the middle．As a result，they’re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick．8．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate______．A．Children’s and adults’eye-sightB．people’s ability to se e accuratelyC．children’s and adults’brainsD．the influence of people’s age9．When asked to find the larger circle，_____．A．children at 6 got it wrong 79％of the time with no gray ones aroundB．only adults over 18 got it right 95％of the time with gray ones aroundC．children at 4 got it right about 79％of the time with gray ones aroundD．adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around10．According to the passage，we can know that_____．A．a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white backgroundB．an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same sizeC．a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real sizeD．a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size11．Why are younger children not fooled?A．Because they are smarter than older children and adults．B．Because older people are influenced by their experience．C．Because people’s eyes become weaker as they grow older．D．Because their brain can hardly notice related things together．DAs you are probably aware，the latest job markets news isn’t good：Unemployment is still more than 9 percent，and new job growth has fallen close to zero．That’s bad for the economy，of course．And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now．But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think．That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover(人员流动)data．After all，existing jobs open up every day due to promotions，resignations，and retirements．(Yes，people are retiring even in this economy．)In both good times and bad，staff-turnover creates more openings than economic growth does．Even in June of 2007，when the economy was still booming along，job growth was only 132，000，while staff-turnover was 4．7 million!And as it turns out，even today—with job growth near zero—over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month．I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to landa job．It’s true that if total employment were higher．it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for)．And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening，regardless of whether it’s a new one or not．But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated．They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills；be creative about where and how to look；learn how to present themselves to potential employers；and keep going，even after repeated rejections．The Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that 2．7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t hunted for it within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed．So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up．Four million people get hired every month in the U．S．You can be one of them12．The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate____．A．takes job opportunities from peopleB．prevents many people from changing careersC．should not stop people from looking for a jobD．does not mean the U．S. economy is worsening13．What does the author say about overall job growth?A．It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers．B．It increases people’s confidence in the economy．C．It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed．D．It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed．14．What is the key to finding a job according to the author?A．Education B．Intelligence C．Persistence D．Experience15．What do we learn about The Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data?A．They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is．B．They provide the public with the latest information．C．They warn of the structural problems in the economy．D．They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job．第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August，and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be．Toward the end of our long drive home，even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on．At that point in a road trip，even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow．We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by．My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County．Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage．We began to open our eyes again．We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons．I rolled down the windows，and we breathed again．Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle．At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-five．You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place．I am a placemaker．A homemaker，too．I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener．But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others．The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880．It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends．We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker's dozen of egg-laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，manytrees．Living with my life's purpose does not allow for much travel．I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes．Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees．But I learned something at the end of our family road trip．Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place．When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places．5.What does the author try to express in the first

can stay young forever．That is the message Dr．Shen Ziyin wants to give the world．And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging．His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging．Dr．Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine．At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine．And，he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging．He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called"shen"．According to Shen，it is the kidney which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process．It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through．Studies conducted by Dr．Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process，says a report in The Telegraph newspaper．We notice that when people grow old，they have reduced strength，loss of hair，backache，weakness in general，and wrinkles，among others．This happens because when people grow old，their bodies produce T-cells．These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas．Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves．So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body．This can happen if people eat low calorie food．Then the body is not active enough to produce extraT-cells．But，is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young？This is where Dr．Shen's herbal medicine comes in．But how effective it will be，only time can tell．9.How did Dr．Shen find the solution to the problem of aging？______A.By studying Western medicine．B.By learning traditional Chinese medicine．C.By doing research on both Western and Chinese people．D.By combining both Western and Chinese medicine．10.What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen？______A.Medical treatment．B.People's good kidney．C.Level of people's activity．D.Positive life attitude．11.The reason why people become old is that ______ ．A.their bodies are unable to fight diseasesB.their bodies produce T-cellsC.they have reduced strength，loss of hairD.they become weaker and weaker12.We can probably learn from the passage that ______ ．A.people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the bodyB.the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink，the better for healthC.it remains unknown how effective Dr．Shen's herbal medicine isD.producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young．【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】B 【小题3】C 【小题4】C【解析】9．D 细节理解题，由第二段Dr．Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine．At the same time he studied tradition al Chinese medicine．And，he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure fo r aging．可知他是结合中西医来延缓人的衰老．故选D．10．B细节理解题，由第三段According to Shen，it is the kidney which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process．可知是肾脏协调人体功能和变老过程的．故选B．11．C细节理解题，由第四段This happens because when people grow old，their bodies produce T-cells．可知人变老是因为身体产生了T-cells，故选B．12．C理解推断题，由文章最后But how effective it will be，only time can tell．可知这种药的效果还要时间来判断，故选C．本文主要讲述了沈子银医生发现人体老化的问题的答案．他的解决方案是一种延缓衰老的草药．沈子银博士已经在西方医学训练，同时他学习中医．在过去的四十年里他一直工作是为了把中西医两者最好的结合和找到对老龄化的治愈．根据沈的说法，肾脏调节人体功能和变老过程，它负责人类的活动水平．最后经过一系列的研究得出延缓衰老的唯一方法是减慢体内T细胞的产生．如果人们吃低卡路里的食物，那么身体就没有足够的活力来产生额外的T细胞．本文考察学生的理解推断能力，抓住文章的关键词，采用寻读的方法查找细节，能根据已知的结果推测导致结果的可能原因．DAt most schools，"going green"means generating less trash or making an attempt to recycle．But at New York's Riverdale Country School，it means being encouraged to run and even jump in the hallway．That's because the school was the first to install （安装）the specially-designed Pavegen floor tiles （地砖）in America．The tiles use kinetic energy （动能）expanded by the kids and transform it into electricity that can be used to power classroom lights，science projects and charge electronic devices．The first US installation of Pavegen tiles near the school's student center is thanks to 14-year-old Zach Halem，who managed to convince the officials to purchase them．Besides providing fun green energy，the tiles also serve as a learning tool．Every time a student steps on one，a brightly-lit LED board provides instant feedback （反馈信息）on how much energy was generated．Depending on the force，every step results in between one to seven watts-enough power to light an LED street lamp for about 30seconds．Made largely from rubber and other recycled materials the tiles are invented by the26-year-old British industrial designer Laurence Kembell-Cook．While new to the US，they have been installed in numerous places in Europe，ranging from a London underground station to a marathon track in Paris．However，it was not until Pavegen started getting popular in London schools that Laurence realized that his invention not only saved energy，but was also fun!Though the young inventor will not give too many details about the technology behind this green tile，he says that it is very different from other kinetic energy harvesting systems．Whatever the secret，let's hope more US schools decide to install these fun tiles．In fact，why stop at schools？These tiles could be installed everywhere，from sidewalks to homes．Then we could all be"green"and have fun!Who knew that was even possible？13.What can we learn from the first paragraph？______A.American students are encouraged to run and jump as much as possible．B."Going green"means generating less trash or making an attempt to recycle．C.New York's Riverdale Country School took a different way to go green．D.New York's Riverdale Country School is the first US school to try new ways to go green．14.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Laurence Kembell-Cook？______A.His original motive to invent the Pavegen tiles was to save energy．B.He believed his invention would be popular with students．C.He keeps all the technology behind this green tile a secret．D.He persuaded the school to install Pavegen tiles．15.Which part of a website is the passage probably taken from？______A.Science．B.Architecture．cation．D.Agriculture．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】A 【小题3】A【解析】13．C．细节理解题．根据文章第一段"That's because the school was the first to install （安装） the

【小题2】extremely【小题3】made【小题4】wasinspired【小题5】The【小题6】that/which 【小题7】boiling【小题8】with【小题9】but【小题10】where【解析】41．importance 考查名词及词形转换此处用在定冠词the之后，应使用名词形式；指"食物的重要性"；故填importance42．extremely 考查副词此处用来修饰形容词proud；意为：非常自豪；故填extremely43．made 考查过去分词此处在句中作后置定语，修饰名词noodles，并与该名词构成动宾关系，应使用过去分词；意为：由小麦制成的面条；故填made44．was inspired 考查一般过去时态的被动语态由于动词inspire与主语Marco Polo 构成被动关系，应使用被动语态；根据常识以及下一句"which led him to…Europe"使用了一般过去时可知，此处描述的是过去Marco Polo 来中国时发生的事情，应使用一般过去时态的被动语态；故用was inspired45．The 考查定冠词本句的意思是：最受欢迎的山西面条是刀削面；此处用在most popular之前，并与其构成了形容词popular的最高级；故填The46．that/which 考查关系代词根据句意可知，本句是定语从句；先行词a phrase（指物）在从句中作主语；故填关系代词that/which47．boiling 考查现在分词此处在句中作定语修饰名词 water，并与该名词构成主谓关系，表示正在进行的动作；意为：沸腾的水；故填boiling48．with 考查固定短语固定短语mix with意为：（使）与…混合；故填with 49．but 考查转折连词空缺处前后两句是转折关系；意为：今天，虽然人们在全中国都能找到手擀面，但是陕西省很特别；故填but50．where 考查连接副词本句的意思是：它是面条制作工艺达到顶峰的地方；此处用在系动词is之后，引导的是表语从句；由于该从句缺少地点状语；故填where本文作者主要介绍了值得我们骄傲的山西面条．文中首先讲到了山西利用面粉制作面条的历史时长；山西面条在历史上的影响（马可波罗也曾受到了制作山西面条的启发，使得他将食谱带回到了意大利和欧洲）；文中还重点介绍了最受欢迎的山西面条---刀削面及其制作过程；食用方法；最后作者讲到：今天，虽然人们在全中国都能找到手擀面，但是陕西省很特别，它是面条制作工艺达到顶峰的地方．语法填空主要考查了各种语法知识在短文中的具体运用．做本题时，需要在正确理解短文的前提下，逐句分析句意以及所考查到的语法现象；因此在平时的学习中，应熟练掌握各种语法知识，其中包括词法，句法，各种时态语态以及虚拟语气等．。

ＡThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher——- Mrs. Thompson。
She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie。
There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard。
He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath。
She did not like him.Then Mrs。
Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too。
It was his mother's perfume（香水）。
Teddy said, “Mrs。
Thompson，today you smell just like my Mom used to。
” After the children left she cried for at least an hour。
On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math。

This little country never fails to please visitors.ArriveThe national airline is Sri Lankan Airlines, which flies from Colombo to London and a couple of other European cities. The country’s main airport is ColomboBandaranaike, located 29km north of the capital city.Why now?The best time to visit Sri Lanka’s southern beaches is from November to April. So by going early in the season, you’ll get the best weather. Also in November, Deepavali, known as “Diwali” or the “Festival of Lights”, is Sri Lanka’s main religious festival, celebrated throughout the country.SeeThere is plenty to see in Sri Lanka. The ancient capital cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura are worth seeing, and so are many outstanding ruins. Other mustsees are the rock fortress （要塞） of Sigiriya, towering over the jungle as far as the eye can see, and Dambulla’s cave temple, the country’s largest and best preserved. Both are UNESCO World Heritage （遗产） Sites. Kandy is a picturesque town, which was the last stronghold of the Kandyan Kings. Today it is a cultural relic centre where ageold customs, arts, and crafts remain.DoSri Lanka owns about 1,600km of beautiful palm-shaded beaches as well as warm, pure seas and colorful coral reefs （珊瑚礁）. You can explore the underwater world, and surfing and diving are available too. Away from the shore, wildlife is a big draw for Sri Lanka, and Yala National Park is one of the best places in the world to see wild animals including leopards （豹） and elephants.TasteSri Lanka is celebrated for its excellent food, with a particular emphasis on fresh fruit and vegetables on menus everywhere. Fish and seafood are a big part of the local diet.Did you know?Sri Lanka is known for its tea, but it is also the world’s largest producer and exporter of cinnamon（肉桂）.9.

The author wrote the article in order to .A. introduce the picturesque landscape of Sri LankaB. let readers know what is famous in Sri LankaC. make Sri Lanka well known throughout the worldD. let people get more travel information about Sri LankaDWhat makes a person a scientist？Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？The answer is “no”．It isn't the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools which makes him a scientist．You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter．You will probably agree，too，that knowing how to investigate，how to discover information，is important to everyone．The scientist，however，goes one step further；he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of ideas about how the world works．The scientist's knowledge must be exact．There's no room for half right or right just half the time．He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit．What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times．If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions．This is one reason why investigations are important in science．Albert Einstein，who developed the Theory of Relativity，arrived at this theory through mathematics．The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation．Einstein's ideas were proved to be correct．A scientist uses many tools for measurements．Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations．13．What makes a scientist according to the passage？A．The tools he uses． B．His ways of learning．C．The way he uses his tools． D．The various tools he uses．14．“…knowing how to investigate，how to discover information，is important to everyone．”The writer says this to show_______．A．the importance of informationB．the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleC．the importance of thinkingD．the difference between carpenters and ordinary people15．What is the main idea of the passage？A．Scientists are different from ordinary people．B．The Theory of Relativity．C．Exactness is the core of science．D．Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to making of a scientist．第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2021年甘肃武威二中高三下期每周检测(3月31日)英语试卷
2021年甘肃武威二中高三下期每周检测（3月31日）英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Comparative thinking and behavior is quite typical among teenagers, but it is the responsibility of the parent to set limits and hold firmly to them. Frequently, a parent will tell me in frustration about how their child has complained about not having the very best in fashion design like their friends, or the latest electronic gadgetry that all the other kids own. Parents need to teach their children self-confidence. Those who are self-confident resist the urge to compare themselves to other people, and do not overestimate others' experience while diminishing their own. But some people may have a mantra signified by the slogan, if only. “If only I had t he money of my brother; if only I was smart like my classmates; if only I was as goodlooking as my friends.”Comparing oneself with others is a trap. People who compare themselves with other individuals tend to feel that they are not good enough. They tend to perseverate(表现执拗)about their shortcomings. Even if they try their best，it is not good enough because they can always find someone who performs at a higher level. When people compare, they generally focus on their negative traits. They ignore all that is going right in their life. They also tend to minimize their success and dismiss positive gestures and compliments.Those who are confident listen to their own inner voice. They are not influenced by other people's view of events. They are not overly impressed by others' success, money, health，and material possessions. They do not believe that others have a greater sense of emotionalwell-being than they do.Recently, The Harvard Mental Health Letter published an article which indicated that people with chronic(慢性的)pain had as significant a sense of well-being as those without chronic pain. However, those with chronic pain tended to overestimate the emotionalwell-being of physically healthy people. The study confirmed that it is how we view events that is important, not the nature of our circumstances which may include making comparisons.1．It seems that those who make comparisons don't________.A．care about their successB．have self-confidenceC．overestimate others' experienceD．understand others' success2．The third paragraph mainly tells us________.A．people tend to compare themselves to other individualsB．those who make comparisons focus on their strengthsC．those who make comparisons don't deserve complimentsD．making comparisons can cause many negative effects3．The article published in The Harvard Mental Health Letter indicates________.

They entrusted their pet to me because they thought I was the first person they'd confide in.

B．Guilty.C．Sympathetic. D．Embarrassed.“Hey, do you know what? Today is May Day！” my sister announced. “Do you remember the May Day baskets we used to make with colored paper and paste？”I recalled that my sisters and I would run around our neighborhood delivering the basketsbrimming with spring flowers. We would place them on a doorstep, knock on the door, then run away. It was delightful to look around a bush and watch our friends open their doors and pick up the colorful gift，wondering who had left it out for them.I clearly remember the May Day of the year that I was in fifth grade. That year I was faced with a challenge involving one of my dearest friends. She lived right across the road from our family, and we had walked together to school nearly every day since first grade.Her interests were starting to change from the interests that we had shared together. A new family had recently moved into our small town，and Pam was spending more and more time at their house.When my mother asked me if I was going to take a May Day basket to Pam's house, I responded angrily, “Absolutely not！” My mom told me that I would have many other friends throughout my lifetime. “But Pam was my very best friend ever，” I cried. Mom wiped away my tears and told me that circumstances change and people change. She explained that one of the greatest things friends can do is to give each other a chance to grow, to change and to develop into what we want to be. And sometimes that would mean that friends would choose to spend time with other people. I could express my forgiveness by giving her a May Day basket.It was a hard decision, but I made an extra special basket of flowers with lots of yellow because that was Pam's favorite color. I asked my two sisters to help me deliver my basket of forgiveness. As we watched from our hiding place, Pam picked up the flowers, and said loudly enough for us to hear, “Thank you, Susie, I hoped you wouldn't forget me！”。
