     The story of Kit Kat the dog
     The first time the rescuers met kit Kat，we recalled in shock and our hearts instantly went out to him.At his tender age，life had already dealt him so many harsh blows.Not only was he left to care for himself in the wild，but he also suffered pain with a horrific rash （皮疹）.
     Kit Kat was first brought to our attention by Anna，one of our volunteers.Kit Kat was said to be frightened of people and we eventually managed to put a leash（皮帶）on Kit Kat and take him to the vet after a few days' effort of tricking him with treats.He was well padded and his coat，though matted（無光澤的），was in good condition.Kit Kat also had good oral health.
     Now on the mend，Kit Kat boasts a coat of soft，glossy fur and shows no signs of the pain he suffered from.While we have managed to heal his body，we have not been able to do the same for his broken spirit.However，we believe that with the right family and the right environment，Kit Kat will be able to flourish and shake off his sad past.

• 2．You get up in the morning and look into the mirror.Your face is firm and young-lookjye.aig.In 2035，medical technology is better than ever.Many people of your age could live to 150，so，at 40，you aren't old at all.And your parents just had an anti-aging（抗衰老）treatment.Now，all three of you look the same age.

• 3．Members of a native community in the arctic（北極的）areas of Sweden say their reindeer（馴鹿）are facing possible hunger from unusual weather related to climate change.The local Sami community takes care of about 8，000 reindeer throughout the year.The animals are moved between traditional feeding areas in high mountains close to Norway in the summer and forests farther east in the winter.
     A community member，Inga，is worried about his reindeer.He said climate change has affected the area's weather activity and created food shortages. "If we don't find better areas for them where they can feed themselves and find food，the reindeer will die from hunger，" Inga said.He verified the problem by reaching down into the snow and pulling up a hard piece of ice close to the soil.
     The area received unusual snowfall early in the fall，followed by rain that froze.Inga said this traps the plants that reindeer eat under a thick cover of ice.Some of the hungry reindeer have now moved away from their traditional feeding areas in search of food.
     Community members say half the reindeer moved towards the east as planned.But the rest headed back to the mountains，where they face the risk of attacks by other animals or being caught in an avalanche （雪崩）.Older members of the Sami community say that in the past，they only remember bad winters about once every ten years.But now，Inga says "extreme and strange weather are appearing more and more often，" happening several times a year.
     Snowfall is common for the area.But as temperatures increase，rain can also fall，creating a "rain-on-snow" effect.When this happens，food remains trapped under the ice where the reindeer cannot reach it.This causes the animals to grow weaker and struggle to make it through the winter.Weather changes have hit the Sami community hard.
     "We don't want money because we can't buy better weather with money.We need the EU to take action and they need to do it now，" said Inga.
  
  （1）What problem do reindeer meet with at present？

  
  A．Cold weather.
  B．Risk of hunger.
  C．Long march for food.
  D．Polluted environment.
  （2）What does the underlined word "verified" in Paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．Proved.
  B．Solved.
  C．Ignored.
  D．Answered.
  （3）What problem would the reindeer back in the mountains face？

  
  A．Traps under the snow.
  B．Hunt from human beings.
  C．Rocks falling down the mountain.
  D．Threat from other animals.
  （4）What is causing the reindeer's present difficult situation？

  
  A．Flood.
  B．Drought.
  C．Rain-on-snow effect.

      Having held the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years，I was the shining star of my school.When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions，I was always the first choice.Naturally，I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
      Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again，my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again.Consequently，I became conceited.I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest.
      A week before the contest，my teacher Ms.Sara asked，"Selena，would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest？" She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was."Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience，" she added.
      " I'm sorry，Ms.Sara，" I replied."I have a bit of a sore throat."
      This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class.I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary.On one occasion，I even told Mrs.Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest.In fact，I did everything but practice my scrip.I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest.As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools，I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
      The contest was being held in the local community hall.On the day of the contest，the hall was packed.
      My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates.I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total.Those who spoke before me did extremely well.On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance，I began to lose confidence in jye.aiself.My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.
  注意：
  1.所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
