Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mum. However, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn’t ________ like other kids in his grade. I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills.

On the days when it was Ronny’s turn, I gave him a silent smile, and he flew out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that nobody had ever seen. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried his best to read out. Every time he ________ to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with ________.

A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony. I presented Ronny with a book –one of those Little Golden Books that only cost$5. Tears ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went back to his seat. I stayed with the Class for the rest of the day.

Ronny never let go of the book, not once. It never left his hands. A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I ________ Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap（大腿）. His teacher said,“He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that’s his first book he’s ever actually owned?”Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked,“Will you read me your book, Ronny?”And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more ________ than I’d ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared, like the book had been read thousands of times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book!”What a powerful contribution（貢獻(xiàn)）the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would get ________ about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does—care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference.

1.A. write B. copy C. listen D. read

2.A. refused B. decided C. managed D. pretended

Leon was a postman. Every day Leon would wake up and feed his 37 cats. Leon didn’t really want 37 cats, but one by one they had appeared on his doorstep, and Leon had taken them in.

Every day, after feeding the cats, Leon would collect the mail from the red postboxes in the village and take it home. “If only I had 37 helpers instead of 37 cats, my job would be so much easier,” Leon thought. Just then, the cats started meowing for their dinner. That gave Leon an idea. That night, Leon worked late making 37 cat-sized postal backpacks. Then, he went around to each postbox, putting up signs that read: postbox closed! Please use the postal cat service.

The next day, Leon put a backpack on each cat and dropped off the cats around the village. Leon knew that the cats would be happy walking around all day. He also knew that they would always come home for dinner. Leon spent the day relaxing, waiting for his helpers to return. Leon was right. The cats did return, but they did not bring home many letters. Some got the letters wet. Some bit off the corners of the letters. Some even lost their backpacks. “Cats are just too unreliable(不可靠的),” Leon thought.

Just then, a strange sound came from the outside of Leon’s door. A dirty dog was waiting to be invited inside. That gave Leon an idea.

1.In Paragraph 2, Leon _______ that night.

A. made postal backpacks B. put up a sign on each cat
