• 2．One summer during high school，my mom volunteered me to help Grandpa research our family tree.Great，I thought，imagining hours spent pawing through dusty，rotting boxes and listening to boring stories about people I didn't know. "You'll be surprised，" my mom promised， "Family histories can be very interesting."
     In truth，Grandpa didn't want to limit my work to just research，hoping to also preserve our family memories.He'd discovered a computer program that helps digitally scan old pictures and letters to preserve their contents before they crumble from old age.Grandpa wanted me to help him conned the scanner and set up the computer program.He could type documents and send emails，but had never used a scanner.
     Soon after.I became fascinated with my relatives' lives.I asked Grandpa to tell the story behind every picture and letter scanned.The stories，which turned out not to be boring at all，helped me not only understand but also relate to my relatives.I became so hungry for more information that Grandpa needed additional props to keep me satisfied.He showed me a chest filled with random stuff，all covered in chest.
     Perusing through their belongings，I felt I was opening a window into the world of my relatives，a world long since gone.Grandpa showed me a bundle of letters he had sent to Grandma from the front lines of World War Ⅱ and I could almost smell the gunpowder.I turned the pages of my great-grandmother's recipe book and could picture her cooking in her kitchen.All of the people who had been merely names to me now had faces to match.
     Later.Grandpa admitted， "I probably could have done this project myself.I just wanted someone to share it with." I can't thank him enough for sharing the experience and making me appreciate the family members who have made me the person I am.I will cherish family memories and hope that someday I will be able to pass them down to my own grandchildren.

  A．To show him a bundle of letters.
  B．To keep him away from boredom.

• 3．With advanced communication technologies making the iconic British red telephone boxes expendable （可拋棄的），a US firm is all set to bring them back to use.Call boxes would be changed into mini-offices for workers on-the-go and will offer free coffee to subscribers（認購者）.
     Bar Works Inc's chief executive Jonathan Black，a Briton living in New York，said that his company will renew telephone boxes with fully functional printers，scanners，25-inch screens and Wi-Fi.Bar Works specializes in offering bar-themed work stations in prime locations，charging customers with a monthly subscription in return for free access to the business and office supplies.The company plans to operate in a similar manner，offering British customers with monthly memberships to "Pod Works" for ￡19.99 （＄29）.
     The company will refit telephone boxes in five major British cities and has already rented and changed 15 old call boxes in London and Edinburgh.As expected，they are coming into use by the public in the coming months. "Given the prime location，above all else，of the telephone boxes，the launch is expected to gain at least 10，000 members by the end of 2021.It's an alternative to，say，Starbucks but obviously it provides you with total privacy." said Black.
     Thanks to mobile phones，the red telephone boxes have been effectively made expendable.According to a report by the Daily Mail，retired telephone boxes，especially those damaged deliberately，are sent to a "telephone box graveyard" of sorts，where they take great pains to restore to their former glory before being sold to collectors across the globe.Such is the demand for properly restored telephone boxes，that it is not uncommon for them to be sold for amounts as high as ￡10，000.
     Despite its setback，in a recent survey，the British red telephone box，which was originally designed in 1920，was voted the greatest British design of all time.
  
  （1）What will the red telephone boxes be used for？

  
  A．Mini-offices.
  B．Mini coffee boxes.
  C．Bar-themed call boxes.
  D．leisure rooms for workers.
  （2）What do you know about the renewed telephone boxes？

  
  A．They will be put into use next year.
  B．They offer as much privacy as Starbucks.
  C．They will be equipped with office supplies.
  D．They have been rented in five major British cities.
  （3）What is Black's attitude towards the launch？

  
  A．Doubtful.
  B．Confident.
  C．Cautious.
  D．Uncertain.
  （4）What's the purpose of writing about the telephone boxes in this passage？

  
  A．To arouse concern for them.
  B．To introduce their new role.
  C．To expand a larger market.
  D．To advertise their launch.

      When I was a child growing up in the Netherlands，I often begged my mother to tell me this story about an experience her family had at the end of World War Ⅱ.
      During the terrible last winter of the German occupation，food was rare in the Netherlands.People were so hungry that they began to eat small animals and many things not normally considered edible（可食用的），including tulip bulbs（郁金香球莖），which could be cooked like potatoes.
      For centuries my mother's family had owned a highly successful tulip business，which provided jobs for many in our village.But the war shut their business down，and during the winter of hunger，my grandfather，Albert，donated all his tulip bulbs to feed the hungriest villagers.For years，Albert had been trying to grow a black tulip.By careful selection，he was very close.So he guarded these few bulbs seriously to prevent people from stealing them for food.
      One day，it was announced that the war was over.But there was much destruction and the Dutch people still faced dangers.My grandfather looked at his pale，thin children and realized that the hunger could continue for a long time，so he made his decision.He seized a shovel（鐵鏟）and went into the garden.There he found my mother，Vivian，who was just seven years old，looking nervous.Over her shoulder，Albert saw a band of Germans coming toward them down the street.He whispered to Vivian to run inside the house and began digging for his bulbs.But it was too late.Some one had already stolen them.Angry and desperate，he ran toward the street screaming，"They have stolen my tulip bulbs!" Vivian，watching from the doorway，cried out and ran to stop him.Before she could reach her father，a German soldier raised his gun and shot him.
  注意：
  1.所續(xù)寫短文詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語已為你寫好。
      Fortunately，Albert survived his wounds and recovered slowly.___________.
      It took some time for Albert to rebuild his business，starting with those few bulbs._________.
