【題目】 Traveling is not always happy, at least for the buddies in the movie Green Book. The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb 25.

The movie was adapted from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s.

In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to performances, but they face problems because of Shirley’s skin color. These problems lead them to form a special friendship.

“There’s something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time,” wrote US film critic Mick LaSalle.The time LaSalle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow laws (《吉姆·克勞法》), which allowed racial segregation (種族隔離). These laws made life and travel 39 for African-Americans. They couldn’t use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after sunset or they might be put into prison. Even black celebrities (名人) had to follow the laws.

But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow laws went away. The book went away, too.

Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow. But they probably don’t know about The Green Book. It’s a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie, maybe people can remember it again.

One of the biggest mistakes a person can make is to try not to make mistakes. As you make decisions in your life, you will be very likely to make some mistakes.1. 但是犯錯(cuò)是你獲取經(jīng)驗(yàn)的一部分。A simple example. You do poorly on a test because you didn’t study hard enough. 2. One bad test is not the end of the world， but it can quickly teach you that if you don’t study, you won’t do well. 3. Mistakes sometimes lead to arguments（爭(zhēng)論）between people. But if you learn to understand things from another person’s point of view, you will be able to learn very quickly from the mistakes you make and the mistakes you think other people have made.4. You can turn mistakes into opportunities(機(jī)會(huì)).For example, if you learn to understand others’ feelings and problems, you will understandthe people you work with much better instead of getting angry. And you will learn to talk about problems and be more patient with people you don’t agree with-a friend or a mate in your workroom or company. So next time you think you’ve made a mistake, stop and ask yourself what you’ve learned from it, and what you will do differently in the future.Show me the person in the room who has made a lot of mistakes, and I’ll show you the person who has probably learned a lot. 5. 因此永遠(yuǎn)不要害怕犯錯(cuò).

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成句子。

My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home. But he would come back help to harvest rice every year.

One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999, to harvest his rice. After father harvested our own, his little rice picker broke. What’s worse, he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital. It meant that father wouldn't be back in a few days. It now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that he wouldn't let the neighbor’s rice rot(糜爛）in the field. He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine. “If tonight’s weather is clear, I think I can do it,” added my father. In fact, he was rather tired after a day’s harvest work.

After dinner, father had a short rest and made his way to the field. A full moon was glowing(發(fā)光）in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night keeping his word.

I would never forget the image(畫面)-- Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of rice stocks(稻稈）stood at attention，showing respect for a man who kept his word.

【1】The writer’s father seldom stayed at home，but he would return home to _________ .

【2】_________ happened to the neighbor in 1999.

【3】The writer’s father was required to return to work because _________ .

【4】Father helped the neighbor harvest rice in the field without _________ .

【5】Father spend _________ in harvesting the neighbor’s rice.
