I’ve never been the kind of person to say, “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.
For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.
In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have
returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.
So one day, while I was at work, my childrendecided to do something about it.
They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (舞会礼服).
She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.
Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
8. The underlined phrase in Para. I “blew me away” probably means “________”. A. attracted me B. surprised me C. accepted me D. refused me 9. What does the house really mean to the author? A. A house. B. Buildings. C. An object. D. Memories. 10. What surprised the friends I know after work? A. Finding the wall repainted. B. Erasing the fingerprints. C. Greeting them by tears. D. Leaving the wall unfinished. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Gift Made with Love B. Buildings Made by Children C. A Very Wonderful Painting D. A Family History

It's the near future.Animal populations have fallen sharply and 80% of species are extinct.The forests are so rare that you need to make a booking to visit one. Birds also face extinction.The Arctic terns,a species evolved to fly across the world on4000kmannual journeys,are on their last migration (迁徙) to Antarctica.
The Last Migrationby the Sydney-based writer Charlotte McConaghy is a different sort of climate novel,one in which the heroine's(女主人公)damaged soul is as much a story as the damaged environment
This is McConaghy's first work of literary fiction,after a history publishing in science fiction and a romantic fantasy series.
\"I wanted to try and engage with the climate crisis closely,\"she said.\"It's hard to nail down where he book came from.But I had Toni Morrison's words in my head:'If there's a book you really want to read,but i hasn't been written yet,then you must write it.'I love that. It really speaks to me.\"\"
I wanted to write about the way the natural world is disappearing but I didn't know a way in.\"The way in”, she says, was to\"go travelling.I went to Ireland and Iceland,and thought about these incredible journeys of the terns and these people who study hes journeys.\"
The book became a story of a double journey: the migration of the birds,and a broken woman's travelling to the end of the earth.
Much of the book is told in flashbacks, the action jumping between the south coast of New South Wales to the west coast of Ireland and to Greenland.
\"I've always been fascinated with Ireland: the landscape, the people and the poetry and music.I was fascinated with writing a character from there. It was a way to connect more with the place.\"
McConaghy says she also wanted to have a character who was\"of two places\".\"I had lived in 21 houses by the time I was 21, as a result I definitely know how it feels to feel as if you are not sure where you belong and feeling as if you are between two worlds.\"
12. How isThe Last Migrationdifferent from other climate novels? A. It forecasts environmental destruction. B. It features a bird's cross-continental migration. C It combines science fiction well with romantic fantasy. D. It attaches equal importance to the heroine's broken soul. 13. What did McConaghy think of Toni Morrison's words?
A. Inspirational. B. One-sided. C. Authoritative. D. Casual.
14. Why did McConaghy go travelling? A. To appreciate the landscape of Ireland. B. To follow the migration of the birds. C. To get away from her tiresome life. D. To find ideas for her new book.
15. How might a character \"of two places\"feel? A. Content and carefree. B. More connected with nature. C. Lacking in a sense of belonging. D. Knowledgeable about the world.
