How many licks (舔) does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop (棒棒糖)?
The first time I heard this in the Tootsie Pop commercial, I was five years old. I immediately started _________ and counting. After about two hundred licks or so, I stopped. The _________ of the chewy center had proven to be too great, and I _________ my way through the hard shell (外壳) to the very center. Besides, I _________ knew how many licks it took to get to the center—three. That’s how many licks it took the owl (猫头鹰) in the commercial to get to the center, so that, to me, was the _________ answer.
In high school, I held to the Tootsie Pop _________ . To me, the answer was still always three licks.
In my freshman year, I joined the Model United Nations _________ in my school. The Chair position had _________ the center of the Tootsie Pop and my _________ had become various other students. The first so-called “owl” was Eric who had luckily _________ the prestigious (声望高的) Chair position. So, I decided, _________ Eric reached the center in only one lick, that’s how many licks it should take me. I went to the tryouts with a view to obtaining the position but _________ .
At the end of my sophomore (高二) year, a new owl named Iris had _________ achieved the chair position after trying twice. I began working hard again. But then again, I did not make a _________ of it.
Now, slightly frustrated after _________ two owls, I found a new owl, Evan. It had taken him three licks to get to the “center”. Three was all I could _________. It was widely known that senior year was the _________ year to become Chair. I thought about _________ the program, but on second thoughts, I decided to continue.
Eleven years later, I visited the official Tootsie Pop website to find the real answer to the question that had _________ me my entire high school life. I finally understood. However many licks it takes to get to the center of the Tootsie Pop depends on however many licks I _________ to take—not how many the other owls take.

One day a lady saw a mouse running across his kitchen floor. She was very afraid of mice, so she ran out of the house, getting on a bus and went to a nearby shop. Here she bought a mousetrap and was advised to put some cheese in it. The lady went home with her mousetrap, and could not find any cheese. She had no choices but to cut a picture of some cheese out of a magazine and put it in the trap. Surprising, the picture of the cheese is quite “successful”! When the lady came down to the kitchen in the next morning, she found a picture of mouse in the trap besides the picture of the cheese!

Some people are pessimistic (悲观) when they think about the future. They say that, a hundred years from now, we will have used up most of the earth’s resources. We will have polluted our sea badly, and be unable to eat fish from it. We will have made air so dirty that we will need to wear masks. The world’s pollution will have doubled, and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.
Other people believe that man adapts very easily. They have a different idea of the future. However, in their views, will people be living in a hundred years’ time?
One architect believes that man will move off the land. He suggests that the city of the future will be a huge, pyramidshaped building, which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About 5,000 families will be living there, and the building will contain shops and schools as well as homes. By living on the sea, we will give the farmers more land to grow crops.
As for oil, people will no longer need it: we will be heating our homes with power from the sun. And we will not be short of minerals, because there are plenty under our oceans. At the moment, we do not have the technology to get them out. But, in a hundred years’ time, the optimists (乐观者) say, the new sea cities will be using these resources.
What will be in the shops in the year 3000? What will people be wearing? How will people be traveling?
Scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that, by the year 3000, shops will no longer exist. Computers will have replaced them; and people will order goods from home.
People will be wearing very light, thin clothes. By this time, scientists will have invented a fabric that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.
As for travel, the experts say that most people will be using public transport. Electric cars will be traveling through the streets day and night. Anybody will be able to stop one and use it.
An interesting picture! Unfortunately, we will not be there if these predictions come true.

South Africa’s Street Store doesn’t just help to clothe the homeless, but also gives them the shopping experience of choosing what they want. With the idea to give the homeless the same dignity as customers who can pay, the Street Store sets up their pop-up cardboard shop in Cape Town, inviting customers in need to browse through the offerings and choose an outfit for themselves from the hundreds of donated items at their will.
The Street Store works closely with local council to get permission to pop-up their sidewalk shops in poor areas around Cape Town. Because of the social conditions in South Africa, over half of the children live in poverty, making the Street Store even more popular.
The Street Store displays a row of cardboard “hangers” (衣架), with boxes neatly arranged below each one. On the hangers hang shirts, T-shirts, trousers and dresses donated by the Cape Town public. In the boxes below, multiple pairs of shoes await a new owner. Street Store volunteers also act as store consultants, offering fashion advice to their customers as they try on chosen donated items.
The Street Store has already reached thousands in the Cape Town area, with over 1,000 satisfied homeless customers visiting on their first day in operation. The program gives the homeless not only a change to pick up some needed clothing, but also restores confidence by giving them a retail experience—even when pocket money doesn’t allow it.
【写作内容】
1. 用约30个单词概述上述信息的主要内容；
2. 结合上述信息，谈谈你对the Street Store的看法；
3. 假设你是the Street Store活动的参与者，你会怎么做？（不少于两点）
【写作要求】
1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；
2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；
3. 不必写标题。
【评分标准】
内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。

How to teach a child to respect
As a child grows out of being an infant and begins to notice and react to the world around him, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly impart all of the things that he needs to become a responsible, respectful adult. 1._____ A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others, but also learns to respect himself as well.
●Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving him your full attention and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.
●2.______ The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
●Agree to disagree. 3._____ Explain your decision so that he will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn't equate to disobedience.
●Control your impulse to overact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 4.________
●Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough. 5._______
A．Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.
B．Try to remember that a child won't always agree with you.
C．Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.
D．If he sees you lose temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.
