I like staying overnight at my Gramma's house — that is，until Gramma starts telling me how wonderful my cousin Maya is.Then it's Maya this and Maya that until I don't ever want to hear another word about her.
That's why I wasn't too excited when Gramma called me on the phone to "come on over and bring your pajamas." When I got there，it was worse than I'd expected.There，in Grandpa's big leather rocker，sat Maya，all dressed up and formal-looking and wearing fancy shoes as if she'd just been to a party.
"Surprise，Kristen!" Gramma said. "Your cousin Maya and her parents have traveled in from the East Coast on business.Maya gets to stay with us this afternoon. "Gramma chattered away about how excited she'd been for this surprise get-together，and how cousins ought to get to know each other better.
I hung my baseball cap in the closet and set my backpack by the stairway，all the time smiling and nodding as if I'd been waiting forever for this chance to spend an afternoon with Maya.Grandpa's chair squawked （咯咯叫） as Maya rocked back and forth.It's the chair I like best in the house，the one I usually sit in.I sat down on the sofa across from her.
Shortly，Gramma went off to the kitchen to "see about some lunch，" she'd said.That left me stuck in the living room with rocking Maya.
She was still small but taller than I'd remembered her from her last visit four years ago.She was good at small talk，though，and was chatting away about how nice it was to see me again.But I could tell that she didn't really think so.The last time she was here，we'd had hours of fun together building caves out of Gramma's sofa pillows.
After that，I'd heard about her only through Gramma's tales.Maya taking piano lessons.Maya learning math.Maya，Maya，Maya.Now Maya was here，looking great with the latest haircut and a fancy dress.

Glancing down at my jeans and my old sneakers，I wished I hadn't come.
"How do you know all these things about me？" I asked.
【考點】讀后續寫．
【答案】Glancing down at my jeans and my old sneakers，I wished I hadn't come.A rush of shame flooded over me as I compared myself to Maya-Gramma's favorite.She was smarter，prettier，and more talented than I could ever hope to be.The thought of being loved less by Gramma because of Maya was unbearable. "I hear you like to skate，" Maya's words crashed through my thoughts.What she announced was totally beyond my expectation.Astonished and speechless，I wondered how she knew about my skating. "I hear you are the captain of your basketball team.Even better，you are always competitive and aggressive in any sports activities，" she exclaimed，her eyes full of envy and admiration.
"How do you know all these things about me？" I asked.Shrugging and looking down，Maya told me that my Gramma wrote about me in her letters and that I was her favorite person to write about.Numb with shock，I stared at Maya's face，and the only thing that came to my mind was， "You won the first prize in the math competition，didn't you？" Maya looked up，confused.I explained that my Gramma talked about her all the time.We laughed，chatted about everything，and had fun building caves out of Gramma's sofa pillows.Time flew by，and as Maya and her parents drove off，Gramma and I waved goodbye until they were out of sight. "Isn't Maya a lovely child!" Gramma grinned. "She's really nice，" I agreed，now understanding that Gramma had two favorites.

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.
