"Hi,Mo,it's your foavourite exam today"said Nima,laughing as she joined the line.Terry was looking at Mo again."So what's wrong with her?"asked Nima."I thought you were friends.""Yes,so did I,"said Mo."I)ut she hasn't spoken to me for two weeks now.She promised to help me review for the  physics exam too,but then she's ignored all my calls and texts.And when I  rang her house,her mum just told me she was busy.She's forgotten who her friends are!"said Mo angrily."Are you listening to me?"Mr.Reed was talking to the class and the other students were going into the exam room.Mo gave Nima a worried look and followed them.
Mo couldn't answer question number five.She looked up and saw Terry sitting two rows in front of her.Mo couldn't believe it!Terry was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it.Is that how Terry always got such good grades?She felt really angry at Terry,but she didn't know what to do.She thought about telling the teacher,but what would everyone else think of her?"Stop writing and put your pens down"said Mr.Reed as he started to collect the exam papers.Oh no,Mo hadn't answered two of the questions.She was going to fail again!
Mo wanted to talk to Terry at lunch time,but she couldn't find her anywhere.The next exam was history.That was Mo's favourite subject but she wasn't feeling good.Mo went to the library to study,but she couldn't concentrate.She didn't know what to do about Terry.She thought about telling a teacher,but everyone would hate her if she did that."It wasn't fair!"she thought."Terry was getting good grades by cheating all that time."thought Mo.Just then,Mr.Reed walked past her table."Mr.Reed…"

Mo was walking towards the school gate,when she heard footsteps behind her.It was Terry."Mo,please wait   I want to talk to you."Mo could see that Terry had been crying,her face was  pale and her eyes were red.Mo couldn't say a word."Listen,"said Terry."I'm really sorry I  haven't answered any of your calls,but we're having a terrible time at home.My dad had a heart  attack two weeks ago and he's in hospital.He had a big heart operation today and I was very worried   about him.I know it was stupid,but I was reading texts from my mum to see how the operation was   going,but Mr.Reed caught me with my phone.He thought I was cheating.He believes me now,but I have to take the exam again.I'm sorry I didn't tell you what was happening.I haven't forgotten that you're a good friend'.Will you forgive me?"

11.This was my grandmother's first Christmas without grandfather,and before he passed away we had promised grandfather that we would make this her best Christmas ever.When my parents and I (36)A at her house,we found she had waited up all night for us.The house did seem a little(37)B without grandfather.
Grandfather had always said that the Christmas  (38)D was the most important decoration of all.So we immediately set to work on the beautiful artificial tree that was stored in grandfather's closet (壁橱).Through our efforts,we finally stepped back to (39)A our handiwork.It looked beautiful.(40)C something was missing.
"Where's your star?"I asked.

As we emptied the boxes and (43)C no star,my grandmother's eyes filled with tears.Grandfather had given it to grandmother some fifty years ago on their first Christmas together.It brought them great happiness.Now,on her first Christmas without him,the star was (44)A,too.
"Don't worry,Grandmother,"I (45)D her."We'll find it for you."
My mother and I formed a search (46)D."Let's start in on the closet where the ornaments (装饰品) were,"Mother said."Maybe the star just fell out of the box."
That sounded (47)B,so I began to search the closet.I thought I tried every (48)C,but no star.I could see grandmother was (49)D,although she tried not to show it.
"What's in this wrapped box?"Mother suddenly called out."It was at the bottom of father's closet."Grandmother took the box in (50)D and opened it.Her face (51)B when she unfolded the paper and pulled out a golden star.There was a(n) (52)B attached.

3."Let's Talk":The Free Advice Project
A few weeks ago,I took a walk around Washington Square Park.I met all the usual people:street performers,the Pigeon Guy,a group of guitarists singing in harmony.But off to the side,sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different-giving free advice.
A week or two later,I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.
Lisa Podell,32,started the Free Advice Project this past May.It began as an experiment;she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read"Free Advice"as a simple way to reach out to people.Podell was astonished at the strong response.
Podell admits that she was doubtful at first,but now she describes the project as mutually (相互地) beneficial.People learn from her-but she also learns from them.She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues,and they expect her not only to listen,but also provide real answers.
Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor,Podell believes that talking things out is an important in the decision-making process.
Sometimes,people walk around all day,keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way.Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective.
I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project.Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York,which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.
It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart,especially in New York-where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen.

81.In what way was Podell different from other people in the park?(No more than 6 words)  (2 marks)She was giving free advice.
82.What do people in need expect Podell to do?(No more than 10 words)They expect her to listen and provide real answers
83.According to Podell,what should people do when making decisions?
(No more than 6 words)They should talk things out.
84.How would Podell promote her project in New York?(No more than 15 words)She would promote it to each public space with the help of volunteers..
