Do you know the girl over there? She wears a hat with flowers on it. Her name is Xinzi. She is a nice Japanese girl, my new friend. She is in our class, studying Chinese.
I like Xinzi. I don’t know Japanese, and Xinzi doesn’t know much Chinese. We know some English. We are the same age. And we have the same interests. We like to sing Chinese, Japanese and English songs. I help her to ride a bike and fly a kite. She helps me to swim and jump. We like playing football, but we can’t play at school because the playground is small. Xinzi and the other girls in our class will go to the swimming pool on Monday, and I want to go with them.
【小题1】What does the girl know?

Alicia was a young woman who liked to exercise for her health. In fact, she walked five kilometers before    26  every morning, and went swimming once a week at the swimming pool. She didn’t smoke and never    27  . She didn’t eat chocolate. She didn’t eat sweet and
fatty food,    28  . She weighted herself every day.
One day Alicia was on her daily walk when she saw a    29   sitting in a rocking chair under a tree. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking,   30   he looked very happy.
He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”
He had a wide smile    31   his face, and his eyes shone with happiness. But Alicia saw that he did not have teeth.
“Good morning!” replied Alicia. “Yes, it is a lovely day.”
Alicia thought he    32  very old and wise. She thought he must be at least 90 years old! She decided to ask him about the    33   of a happy old age.”
“I hope you don’t    34   me asking,” she said, “but what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do    35   I am your age.”
The man in the rocking chair said, “My secret for   36  ? I smoke twenty packets of cigarettes every week, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers and chocolates whenever I want. I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit at home every day.”
Alicia was    37  . She didn’t expect the man to give her an answer like that. She wondered how the man got to be so old when he did    38   wrong. She thought he should be    39   and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life    40   eating well or doing lots of exercise.
“How old are you?” she asked.
“It’s my birthday today,” said the man. “I’m forty-seven!”

In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. I call these things  1  and love.

I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did  2  the water. Any kind of  3  ride seemed to give him pleasure.  4  he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.

But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being  5  the water, moving through it, having it all around me. I was not a strong  6  , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my  7  . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and  8  those summer days with my father, who  9  come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the  10  person not in swimsuit.

After swimming, I would go  11  his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me  12  anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk while he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his  13  . But my father always showed up and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s fine.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get  14  an ice cream…

A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is memory.” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but  15  , in that childhood, look at us.
