On this day, I witnessed (目睹) a wonder.I was making lunch when I saw my 6-year-old son, Billy, walking very slowly towards the woods. Minutes later he came running out again, towards the house. Soon after, I saw him walking towards the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him. Billy cupped (笼成杯形) both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to drop the water he carried. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it tried to lift its head to drink the water in my boys hands.When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the kitchen. Billy opened the tap and a small trickle (涓涓细流) came out. He let the drips (水滴) slowly fill up his “cup”.Now I understood what was going on. The week before, he tried giving water to our horses but I told him not to waste water. Now when he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes filled with tears (眼泪). “Im not wasting,” he said. I joined him with a small cup of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood by the woods.

Known as “hand heart”, many young stars in the US including Justin Bieber , Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have done the move in recent photos. “The heart hand gesture means something between I love you and thank you, ”said the country singer Taylor Swift,21.”Its a sweet, simple message which you can send without saying a word.” Taylor Swift often puts her hands above her head in the heart shape at her concerts. And she is believed to be the first to make the gesture popular. Last month during a charity show, Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did it to help out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. The gesture became a real hit after that. “It used to take longer for nonverbal（不用语言的）culture to move. But now ,with smart phones and the Internet, its much faster,” said Patti Wood, an American language expert. In the Republic of Korea, the hand heart has been popular for a long time, in a different way. People there like making a “bigger heart” by putting their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their arms. It means: “I love you.” 8 .

Others may find it hard to breathe after eating a certain food. Why does this happen? Thats because they have allergies (过敏).When a person is allergic to something, his or her immune system (免疫系统) mistakenly believes that this thing is harming the body. Some allergies may cause uncomfortable eyes or sneezing. Others may even make people stop breathing.But why do people have allergies?It can be because of their genes, which control what they look like, how they grow and how they develop.You may be at risk for developing allergies yourself at some point in your life if one of your parents has eczema (湿疹) or food allergies, and they may develop in a certain order, Ogden told Gizmodo, a US technology and science website. A person may first have eczema in his or her childhood, and later see it develop into a food allergy.But not all allergies are caused by genes. Some experts say that if we experience fewer infections (感染) when we are young, we are more likely to have allergies when we grow up.According to Matthew Greenhawt from the University of Colorado, our immune system deals with infections and allergies. It tries to keep a balance between the two. But modern medicine protects us from developing various infections. This breaks the balance. Our immune system becomes more easily affected by allergies. It may think that normal things, such as certain foods, are dangerous and will try to protect us with an immune response.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。12 .

Famous are the lines by William Blake, which have clear rhythm and rhyme. Other people will add that poems must have a certain form, with a fixed(固定的)number of lines, such as a sonnet(十四行诗). With rhyme, most people mean the rhyme of sound of words at the end of the lines. It is also true that much of the classical(古典的)poetry that we have looks like that. John Milton was one of the first poets who started writing poems without rhyme at the end of the lines. He wrote other poems too, though he is famous for his long poems without rhyme. This style of poetry became known_ free verse(自由诗 ). It was not until the twentieth century that modem poetry was really developed.
