The younger girl named Anna was of my age . One afternoon , she walked on the street wearing a beautiful white dress . She looked like an angel in that dress . I , together with many little girls , followed her . We just couldnt keep our eyes off her dress . We all wished we would have such a dress one day !That day , after coming back , I told my mom that I wanted a dress like that . My mom frowned (皱眉) . She thought such a beautiful dress like that must cost an arm and a leg , but my mom kept that in mind . She worked five days a week at that time , but when Christmas was getting close , she worked even on every Saturday .However , several days before Christmas , I changed my mind . It was Annas birthday that day and I was invited to her home with some other girls . After that party , I asked if I could try on her white dress . “ Of course ,” she said , “ and you can take it if you like it .” I couldnt believe my ears . How could she give such a beautiful dress to someone else ? After trying it on , I knew why .The dress looked beautiful , but it was uncomfortable to wear .

Here are some questions and answers about the small animals whose backs and sides are covered with about 6,000 quills . Their quills are short , but hard and sharp .Where do they come from ?The breed is a hybrid (杂种) of the four-toed hedgehog or African white-bellied hedgehog and the Algerian hedgehog . Its natural habitat is central , eastern and southern Africa . It now breaks the law to bring them into the United States ._An adult African pygmy hedgehog is 6 to 11 inches long and weighs 1 to 2 pounds . A relaxed one is generally oval (椭圆的) , with a very short tail and short limbs that keep the body close to the ground .

He says that sending visual effects work overseas hurts US companies . “ Ive been at 12 different US visual effects companies , all of which have gone bankrupt (破产) for one reason or another ,” said Dave Rand .Daniel Lay is the associations another founder . He believes US federal courts should get involved in Hollywoods use of visual effects made by foreign companies . Mr Lay says he wants a tax ordered on work produced outside the US .

You are preventing other peoples talent from developing ,” said Roddam .Kunal Chindarkar works in Singapore for the visual effects company , Double Negative .

Ask your child the main point he wants to make . If he can explain his main idea before putting pen to paper , writing will be much easier .Gather the facts . 17 Do the examples support your childs main idea ? Are they true ? lively ? If your child is having trouble , ask him to take a minute and describe the scene as if he were a reporter , using the “five Ws” of journalism : who , what , where , when , and why .18 Ask questions to understand what your child is trying to say . Dont be afraid to ask him if theres something youd like to know more about , like an idea thats not fully expressed . If you respond to his writing as a reader ,youll be showing him that writing is a way to communicate ideas .Deal with mistakes well . Sometimes young writers will correct their own mistakes , especially when you encourage them to read their work aloud . If your teen always makes the same mistakes , ask him if he knows how to correct them . 19 . But you shouldnt ask your kid to make the paper “perfect” from your point of view .Respect your child as a writer . What to write - and how to write it - should be childs decision , not yours 20 Instead of doing the writing for your child . offer suggestions . Remember that your child must learn to think and write on his own .A Read it out loud .B Ask for more informationC Always start with the goodD Strong facts make a paper much betterE Some teenagers have difficulty in starting writing .F In a word , the “voice” a writer uses should be his own .G If he doesnt , explain how to make the proper corrections .第二部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空 （共20小题，每题1.5分，满分30分）Austin Dennison has touched thousands of people with his heartwarming action ,bringing his 89-year-old great-grandmother Dolores to his high school dance .“After 21 that my great-grandmother never went to her own school danceparty when she was 22 , I decided to realize her dream on my graduation_23 ,” Austin said .They made up well and 24 a lot for the dance .
