"Are we really planning on staying here？" Sophie asked me. "I feel like we have no choice!" I responded to her.The place in question was the Starfish Holiday Inn，a motel（汽車旅館）of doubtful character on the beach in Jacksonville，Florida.We ended up here because of our own irresponsibiljye.aiy.It was our freshman year of college，and being eager to escape the cold and upsetting weather for spring break，we decided to travel to the sunny south，for we had frequently been told in TV programs and movies about the fascinating scenery of its beaches.Florida's natural beauty and lively cities make it the top destination in the world.With more than 1，200 miles of sand beaches and 160 state parks，tourists can find a corner to enjoy all to themselves.
However，it was a last minute decision；we did not make reservations anywhere ahead of time.When we arrived in Florida，we tried to book a room in a good but affordable hotel.After going to six hotels and finding no room left at all，we stopped at an information Centre.A kind and helpful woman delivered the discouraging news that，if we didn't have reservations anywhere，it would be very difficult for us to find a safe place to stay.She recommended that we check a couple of places，but they all seemed too expensive for us.Then she said that the Starfish Inn provided rooms that were reasonably priced，but that she would not want her daughters to stay there!
So that is how we got into our difficult situation.After paying the owner of the motel，we dragged our luggage to the room，where we opened the door with great shock.Everything in the room was in shades of blue and green，with real and painted starfish on nearly every surface；the place looked like it hadn't been redecorated since 50 years ago!It looked like a mess.How could we spend the whole night in such a room？

【答案】We looked at each other and then decided to further check out the place.With great care，we made our way across the floor.In the living room，Sofie cleared up the sofa and sat on it but was sacred half to death by the sharp noise it let out.Hopefully，I turned on the TV；no picture or sound came out.In the dining section，we found the small table was so shaky that it seemed that it would fall apart at any moment.The room was shabby and not a bit inviting.
All these problems challenged us.Sophie and I figured that we had one option to make the best of it and enjoy ourselves!We realized it was about time to escape the false undersea atmosphere of the room.To make a comfortable room out of it，we set out to clean the room，put away all the decorations that gave us unpleasant feelings and drew the curtains open.Soon，to our relief，a tidy，bright room came into our sight.A big broad smile spread over our face.As the old saying goes： "When life gives you lemons，make lemonade."

1．Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat，but it was not even possible for her，since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while，watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However，with no money in hand，she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked， "Hey，girl，you want to have the noodles？
"Oh，yes…，but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today，" said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles，whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating，Jenny cried silently.
"What is it？" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing，actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles，while my mother，drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words，the seller smiled， "Girl，do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you？Have you expressed your gratitude to her？"
Jenny sat there，speechless and numb with shock？she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that？A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted，but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home，Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

2．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers，three sisters，my father and mother.We had little money and few goods，but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was，he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but often told me "Dream is priceless".However，when I was about to get off the ground，one particular incident happened，which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ﹩12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ﹩3.5，that was a big sum.I was so excited，because this meant a chance for money in my pocket，certainly money for a new bike and new clothes，and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect（前景）of the job was inviting，and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach，I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage， "If you make your bed，you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all，my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

3． One day，when I was a first-year student in high school，I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Kris.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself，"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday？He must really be a nerd（書呆子）."
I had quite a weekend planned（parties and a football game with my friends），so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.As I was walking，I saw a gang of kids running toward him.They ran at him，knocking all his books out of arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.His glasses went flying，and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.He looked up，and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.So I jogged over to him，and as he crawled around looking for his glasses，I saw tears in his eyes.As I handed him his glasses，I said，"They are bad guys!They really should be punished."He looked at me and said，"Hey，thanks!"There was a big smile on his face.It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived.As it turned out，he lived near me，so I asked him why I had never seen him before.He said he had gone to a private school before.I would have never hung out with a private school kid before，but we talked all the way home，and I carried his books.
