When the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) began last Friday, Steve and Janet Kistler of Hart County, Kentucky, joined in. They’ve done so every year since the now-global tradition began 25 years ago.
For Moira Dalibor, who teaches math at a school, this was the first count. She led a group of students and parents to an arboretum(植物园)for an exercise in data-gathering. They were among hundreds of thousands of people around the world counting and recording over four days. Last year, about 385,000 people from 192 countries took part in the GBBC.
This global data goes into the eBird database used by scientists for research on bird populations, which have declined sharply overall in past decades. It’s part of a rise in “citizen science” projects in which volunteers collect data about the natural world for use by researchers.
Many bird-watchers use eBird year-round, and it has collected huge amounts of data-often between 1 million and 2 million bird checklists a month from around the world in the past couple of years, says Becca Rodomsky-Bish, the project’s leader at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, in Ithaca, New York. “Observing birds is a good way to connect with the natural world. Birds are everywhere. You don’t have to leave your house. They will come. And they’re charismatic because they’re fun and interesting to watch.”
Participants watch birds, whether that means looking out of the window for 15 minutes or taking a longer trip to a nature area. Organizers recommend the Merlin bird ID app to distinguish birds by size, shape, song or other characteristics. Many participants also carry field guides and binoculars (双筒望远镜)along with their phones. They then enter the findings into the eBird app. Those numbers help researchers track the ups and downs of various species, which then help determine the direction of conservation efforts.
Dalibor prepared her classes with information about local species and practiced with the Merlin app. The kids recorded bird sightings with pencils and drawing boards, and parent volunteers entered those numbers on phones.
4. Why did Dalibor lead her students to an arboretum
A. To do exercise for health.
B. To observe different plants.
C. To practice their math skills.
D. To collect information about birds.
5. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. How the eBird works.
B. The effect of watching birds.
C. How the eBird influences bird-watchers.
D. The advantages of eBird.
6. What can people use the Merlin bird ID app to do
A. To record their findings.
B. To identify different birds.
C. To help determine the birds’ habitat.
D. To track the ups and downs of various species.
7. What’s the best title of the text
A. Great Backyard Bird Count: a strange activity.
B. Watching birds contributes to students’ education.
C. Moira Dalibor: a pioneer and responsible teacher.
D. Great Backyard Bird Count shows power of citizen science.

We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
8. What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2
A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
9. Why did the kid poke the storybook
A. He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself.
10. What does the author think of himself
A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
11. What can we learn about the author as a journalist
A. He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars.
D
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,0000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
12. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They must run long distances.
B. They have to follow special rules.
C. They are qualified for the marathon.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
13. What advantage dose race walking have over running
A. It’s less challenging physically.
B. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
C. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
D. It’s more effective in body building.
14. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A. Doing regular exercises. B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Getting experts’ opinions.
15. Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking
A. Objective. B. Doubtful.
C. Tolerant. D. Supportive.

When I was ten years old, I lived with my family in a small house in rural South Jersey. I often accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries. Without a car, we walked, and I would help her carry the bags.
My mother had to shop every carefully, as she was a waitress, and her salary barely sustained (勉强维持) us. One day, while she was weighing prices, a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia (百科全书) caught my eye. The volumes were beautifully cream-colored. Volume I was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dollar purchase.
All I could think of while shopping was the book. I stood at the register (收银台) with my mother, holding my breath as the cashier rang up the items. It came to over eleven dollars. My mother produced a five, some singles, and a handful of change. As she was counting out the money, I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia. “Could we get one ” I said, showing her the display. “It’s only ninety-nine cents.”
I did not understand my mother’s increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount, “Not now, Patricia,” she said sternly. “Today is not a good day.” I packed the groceries and followed her home, upset.
The next Saturday. my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone. Two quarts of milk and a loaf of bread — that’s what a dollar in 1957. I went straight to the World Book display. There was only one first volume left, which I placed in my cart (购物车). I didn’t need a cart, but took one so I could read as I went up and down the aisles. A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave, but I couldn’t bear to part with the book. With no detective in sight, I, impulsively (冲动地), put it inside my shirt and zipped (扣上拉链) up my jacket. I was a tall, skinny kid, and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious.
Paragraph1:
My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:
Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective.

When the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) began last Friday, Steve and Janet Kistler of Hart County, Kentucky, joined in. They’ve done so every year since the now-global tradition began 25 years ago.
For Moira Dalibor, who teaches math at a school, this was the first count. She led a group of students and parents to an arboretum(植物园)for an exercise in data-gathering. They were among hundreds of thousands of people around the world counting and recording over four days. Last year, about 385,000 people from 192 countries took part in the GBBC.
This global data goes into the eBird database used by scientists for research on bird populations, which have declined sharply overall in past decades. It’s part of a rise in “citizen science” projects in which volunteers collect data about the natural world for use by researchers.
Many bird-watchers use eBird year-round, and it has collected huge amounts of data-often between 1 million and 2 million bird checklists a month from around the world in the past couple of years, says Becca Rodomsky-Bish, the project’s leader at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, in Ithaca, New York. “Observing birds is a good way to connect with the natural world. Birds are everywhere. You don’t have to leave your house. They will come. And they’re charismatic because they’re fun and interesting to watch.”
Participants watch birds, whether that means looking out of the window for 15 minutes or taking a longer trip to a nature area. Organizers recommend the Merlin bird ID app to distinguish birds by size, shape, song or other characteristics. Many participants also carry field guides and binoculars (双筒望远镜)along with their phones. They then enter the findings into the eBird app. Those numbers help researchers track the ups and downs of various species, which then help determine the direction of conservation efforts.
Dalibor prepared her classes with information about local species and practiced with the Merlin app. The kids recorded bird sightings with pencils and drawing boards, and parent volunteers entered those numbers on phones.
4. Why did Dalibor lead her students to an arboretum
A. To do exercise for health.
B. To observe different plants.
C. To practice their math skills.
D. To collect information about birds.
5. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. How the eBird works.
B. The effect of watching birds.
C. How the eBird influences bird-watchers.
D. The advantages of eBird.
6. What can people use the Merlin bird ID app to do
A. To record their findings.
B. To identify different birds.
C. To help determine the birds’ habitat.
D. To track the ups and downs of various species.
7. What’s the best title of the text
A. Great Backyard Bird Count: a strange activity.
B. Watching birds contributes to students’ education.
C. Moira Dalibor: a pioneer and responsible teacher.
D. Great Backyard Bird Count shows power of citizen science.

We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
8. What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2
A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
9. Why did the kid poke the storybook
A. He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself.
10. What does the author think of himself
A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
11. What can we learn about the author as a journalist
A. He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,0000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
12. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They must run long distances.
B. They have to follow special rules.
C. They are qualified for the marathon.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
13. What advantage dose race walking have over running
A. It’s less challenging physically.
B. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
C. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
D. It’s more effective in body building.
14. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A. Doing regular exercises. B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Getting experts’ opinions.
15. Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking
A. Objective. B. Doubtful.
C. Tolerant. D. Supportive.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势，但是之前受过伤的人，要想从事这样运动要谨慎，最好咨询专家的建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the legs wing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.”（但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的全部时间都保持伸直，一只脚始终与地面接触。）可知，竞走运动员之所以有条件要求是因为运动员需要遵守某些特殊的运动规则。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”（一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者膝盖部分的损伤，这种膝盖损伤在竞走者中并不常见。）可知，竞走与跑步相比，它的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段倒数第二句“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique.”（事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧。）可知，Dr.Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.”（研究表明,竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处，而且它还很少导致受伤。不过，它也有自己的问题）。由此作者既提及了竞走的优势，又话锋一转指出它具有问题，可以判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选A项。

【16题详解】
根据前句“Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to (你是否经常感到生活离你而去，尤其是当你浏览社交媒体网站时，面对着朋友们正在做的所有令人兴奋的事情 )”及下一段“FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).(FOMO指的是别人的生活比我们自己的生活更优越的看法。它表现为一种强烈的嫉妒感，持续暴露在这种情绪下会削弱我们的自尊。)”可知，空处为承上启下句，即强烈的嫉妒感是很多人都有的感觉，引出下文对FOMO的介绍。所以选择项A“If so, you are not alone.(如果是这样，你并不孤单。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据前句“While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire. (嫉妒和缺乏自信似乎是人类的天性，而社交媒体似乎在火上浇油。)”和后文“Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. (社交媒体，以其固有的吸引力，让我们只分享我们生活中最好的一面，而忽略了更无聊的方面。虽然这可以被定性为不诚实，但这似乎是社交媒体所需要的氛围。)”可知，空处提问社交媒体为什么会有火上浇油的刺激作用，以引出下文对其原因的介绍。所以选择项D“Why does it have such a stimulating effect (为什么它有这样的刺激作用？)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据前句“Consider your own social media posts. (考虑一下你自己的社交媒体帖子。)”和后文“Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out. (其他人也是如此。而他们所隐藏的事实是，无聊、孤独和不愉快的家务是每个人生活中不可避免的一部分，你不是唯一一个被忽略的人。)”可知，呈现在社交媒体上一般都是经过选择过的，代表生活美好方面的。所以选择项G“Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life (你有没有选择过一些照片，让别人对你的生活得出最美好的结论？)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
空处为本段主题句，根据后文“You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives. (你可能不是高档派对的常客，也不是攀登令人眼花缭乱的高峰的人，但你有健康的身体，有居住的地方，有真正的朋友，他们会欣赏你在他们生活中的存在。)”可知，本段主要介绍要学会欣赏积极的事物。所以选择项C“Learn to appreciate the positives. (学会欣赏积极的事物。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据前句“We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it matter (我们每天都被别人完美的照片淹没，但说真的，这有什么关系呢 )”可知，我们不能社交媒体上的完美照片的影响，因为它们不一定是真实的。所以选择项E“They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show. (它们可能并不比最有趣的电视真人秀更真实。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了民间习俗——社火游行的历史发展。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：社火游行是一种历史悠久的表演形式，在中国农村地区广泛流行，可以追溯到大约2000年前，那时候人们进行祭祀活动祈求丰收。结合空前形容词widespread可知，此处应用名词popularity，表示“流行”，作动词enjoying的宾语。故填popularity。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：社火游行是一种历史悠久的表演形式，在中国农村地区广泛流行，可以追溯到大约2000年前，那时候人们进行祭祀活动祈求丰收。空处在句中作谓语，表示客观事实，所以用一般现在时，主语the shehuo parade为单数，所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式dates。故填dates。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：后来，随着唱歌和舞蹈成为游行的一部分，社火成为了一种在春节和元宵节去除坏运气和给新的一年带来新的开始的民间习俗被搬上了舞台。分析句子可知，空处作非谓语动词，stage与逻辑主语custom之间是被动关系，所以空处应用过去分词形式staged，作后置定语。故填staged。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：后来，随着唱歌和舞蹈成为游行的一部分，社火成为了一种在春节和元宵节去除坏运气和给新的一年带来新的开始的民间习俗被搬上了舞台。结合语意可知，这种民间习俗的目的是去除坏运气和带来新的开始，所以空处应用动词不定式形式，作目的状语。故填to remove。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：王马咀村位于陇县，以前被称为“陇州”，这里以真实的表演和简单而精致的面部化妆而闻名。空处修饰过去分词known，应用副词形式，作状语，previously是副词，表示“以前，先前”，符合题意。故填previously。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：王马咀村位于陇县，以前被称为“陇州”，这里以真实的表演和简单而精致的面部化妆而闻名。分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语动词，feature与逻辑主语shehuo parades之间为主谓关系，所以用现在分词featuring，作后置定语。故填featuring。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：每年，陇县都会举办100多场社火活动，每场活动都有数十或数百名村民参加。分析可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词shehuo festivals，先行词指物，关系词在从句中作介词of的宾语，应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：参加者通常在马匹或皮卡上表演，表演不同的节目，包括高跷舞和旱船。结合语意可知，此处表示参与者在马匹或者皮卡上表演，空处应用名词participant，表示“参与者”，使用复数形式，表示泛指，作句子主语，participants置于句首，首字母大写。故填Participants。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：现年65岁的王大爷对自己小时候每年的表演记忆犹新。空处在句中作宾语，要用名词，结合句中when he was a child可知，此处表示小时候每年的表演的记忆，为复数含义，所以此处用名词的复数形式。故填memories。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：“我家几代人都从事社火表演，”他说。for generations“几代人、祖辈”，为固定短语，符合题意，所以空处应用介词for。故填for。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的词数应为150左右。
When I was ten years old, I lived with my family in a small house in rural South Jersey. I often accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries. Without a car, we walked, and I would help her carry the bags.
My mother had to shop every carefully, as she was a waitress, and her salary barely sustained (勉强维持) us. One day, while she was weighing prices, a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia (百科全书) caught my eye. The volumes were beautifully cream-colored. Volume I was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dollar purchase.
All I could think of while shopping was the book. I stood at the register (收银台) with my mother, holding my breath as the cashier rang up the items. It came to over eleven dollars. My mother produced a five, some singles, and a handful of change. As she was counting out the money, I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia. “Could we get one ” I said, showing her the display. “It’s only ninety-nine cents.”
I did not understand my mother’s increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount, “Not now, Patricia,” she said sternly. “Today is not a good day.” I packed the groceries and followed her home, upset.
The next Saturday. my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone. Two quarts of milk and a loaf of bread — that’s what a dollar in 1957. I went straight to the World Book display. There was only one first volume left, which I placed in my cart (购物车). I didn’t need a cart, but took one so I could read as I went up and down the aisles. A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave, but I couldn’t bear to part with the book. With no detective in sight, I, impulsively (冲动地), put it inside my shirt and zipped (扣上拉链) up my jacket. I was a tall, skinny kid, and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious.
Paragraph1:
My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:
Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register. I paid the dollar for the three items and was about to leave when I felt a heavy tap on my shoulder. It was a big detective. “You stole something. You will be searched.” he announced. Horrified, I slid the book out from inside the shirt and handed it over. “An encyclopedia ” he asked, somewhat surprised. “Yes,” I whispered, trembling. “Why didn’t you ask your parents to purchase it ” “I did, but they didn’t have the money.” With a sigh, he made me promise to tell my parents about my wrongdoing and then let me leave.
Paragraph 2:
Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective. Unexpectedly, she didn’t explode as usual. She fell silent, looking extremely anxious. Consumed with guilt, I gathered my courage, apologized and promised that it would never happen again. “All will be OK!” said my mother, wrapping me in her arms. Then she told me that she would go to the A&P to tell the detective I had admitted and that I should play outside. Hours later, when I was back home, I noticed a bag with my name on it. I opened it and packed inside was the World Book Encyclopedia, volume I.
