【题目】阅读下面短文,用括号内所给词的适当形式填空,必要时可加助动词或情态动词。

When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, every time he asked me 1(hold)the hammer(锤子) for him, just so we would have a time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad 2(drink) or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.

I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning, no matter what. And when several years 3 ( late), I bought a house, my dad was painting it by himself for three days in the 38 summer heat. All he asked was to hold his paint brush and talk to him. But I was too busy in those days. I did not find any time for a conversation with my dad.

One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as 4(usually), I noticed that my dad had totally forgotten some things that we talked 5(late). I was in a hurry, so our conversation was a bit short. Few hours later that day came a call. My father was in a hospital with an aneurysm(动脉瘤). Immediately I 6(buy)a ticket for a flight and on my way I 7(think) about all special occasions(场合) to have a talk with my dad.

By the time I 8(arrive) at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. After his 9(die), I learned much about him, and even 10(much) about myself. All he ever asked me was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day.

【题目】 Adolescence(青春期)is a very important time in one's life. During the time, a person's character is being developed. Parents play the main roles in teenage life. What they say and do have a great effect on their children, and even decide the children's future. So parents need to pay attention to right education.

First parents should treat their children as grown-ups. In parents' eyes, no matter how old their children are, they always treat them as babies. So they will be easy to make every decision for the children. Then the children will be rebellious(叛逆的)and don't want to talk to their parents, because they think there is nothing in common between them.

Second, parents should encourage their children. As parents always treat their children as the babies, they will deny(否定)their children’s ideas all the time. It is wrong to do so, parents should encourage their children and lead them to have their own thinking. It is better to let the children realize their mistakes by themselves.

Teenagers' education is of great importance, and parents should do it in the right way.

1A person's____________ is being developed _____________ adolescence.

【题目】 For convenience(方便). plenty of people prefer having a takeaway(外卖)to cooking at home. Now there is an app through which people can enjoy delicious and cheap takeaway food.

Too Good To Go, an app being used in the UK, allows users to order leftover(剩余的)food at a low price from restaurants. The purpose is to cut down on food waste, as lots of restaurants usually throw away the food that can still be eaten at the end of the day.

Users just need to pick a restaurant and pay through the app. Then they pick up their food at planned times usually around closing time or after peak (高峰期的) meal times.

"Food waste is one of the biggest problems we have in this world," one creator of the app said. "The restaurant industry is wasting about 600,000 tons of food each year." By the end of August, Too Good To Go had helped save about 600 meals in the UK.

Users also have the choice to give meals to people who are in need by donating one British pound or more through the app. By the end of August, more than 1,100 meals had been donated.

Too Good To Go isn't the first app to try to deal with food waste. In Spain, the Yo No Desperdicio app allows people to exchange leftover food with each other. In the US, the Food Cowboy app allows food shops to sell "ugly vegetables" that most customers don't buy to charities and food banks that need them.
