Opening the pages of Liuba Draws Beijing takes you on a fascinating visual journey through the heart of China’s busy capital city. Within its lively watercolors, traditional hutong, the grand Summer Palace, and the contemporary charm of Beijing’s Sanlitun and 798Art District all come alive through the artistic lens of Liuba Vladimirova, more famously known as Liuba Draws.
Vladimirova’s journey from the icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years, when she commenced with an academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang, in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing. Since then, her affection for the city has been undeniable.
Vladimirova’s path as an artist was far from linear (直线的). Since childhood Vladimirova has developed a love for drawing and painting. However, she pursued a different academic and professional route, studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China, none of which was directly connected to the world of art. Yet, Vladimirova’s inner artist remained alive.
In 2015, Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centered around Beijing, properly named “The Beijing Calendar”. What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijing’s historic hutong. These narrow alleyways, rich in history and culture, serve as a wellspring (源泉) of inspiration for her artistry.
Vladimirova’s ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”—someone who didn’t grow up in Beijing. This fresh perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart, ready to embrace a new culture.
4. What do the underlined words “commenced with” mean in paragraph 2
A. Improved. B. Began. C. Resisted. D. Assessed.
5. What do we know about Vladimirova from paragraph 3
A. She gave up her dream. B. She won many art prizes several years ago.
C. She was hardworking over her childhood. D. She delayed her artistic career.
6. Why does the author mention hutong
A. To praise Beijing’s architecture. B. To show the inspiration of Vladimirova’s art making.
C. To state the main contents of an art book. D. To advise tourists to visit Beijing.
7. Which statement best summarizes Vladimirova’s success
A. Curiosity works wonders. B. Hard work pays off in time.
C. The world is diverse and lively. D. Painting has no national boundaries.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章介绍了胡同里的外国艺术家俄罗斯插画师Liuba Vladimirova以及她用水彩为北京手绘的“纪念册”——《Liuba画北京》。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线部分所在句中的“Vladimirova’s journey from the icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years(弗拉基米罗娃从冰冷的西伯利亚城市伊尔库茨克到充满活力的北京的旅程始于她的大学时代)”可知，Vladimirova在上大学时来到北京；由划线部分所在从句“when she commenced with an academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang, in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province(当时她commenced with一个学术交流项目，将她所在的俄罗斯大学与中国东北辽宁省沈阳的辽宁大学联系起来。)”以及下文“It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing.(正是在这一变革时期，她第一次踏上了北京的土地。)”可知，她由于在大学期间来到辽宁大学开始学术交流项目而有机会去北京；“she commenced with an academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang”表达的意思为“她开始了她的俄罗斯大学与沈阳辽宁大学的学术交流项目”，“commenced with”意为“开始”，与B选项began表达意思一致。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Vladimirova’s path as an artist was far from linear (直线的). Since childhood Vladimirova has developed a love for drawing and painting. However, she pursued a different academic and professional route, studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China, none of which was directly connected to the world of art. Yet, Vladimirova’s inner artist remained alive.( Vladimirova作为艺术家的道路远非直线的。Vladimirova从小就对绘画和绘画产生了热爱。然而，她追求不同的学术和专业路线，在大学学习中国和国际贸易，后来从事中俄贸易关系方面的工作，这些都与艺术界没有直接联系。然而，Vladimirova内心的艺术家仍然活着。)”可知，尽管Vladimirova从小就对绘画和绘画产生了热爱，但是她在大学学习中国和国际贸易，并从事中俄贸易关系方面的工作；由此可知，她一开始从事的是与艺术没有联系的工作，后来才从事艺术行业，她推迟了她的艺术生涯。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In 2015, Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centered around Beijing, properly named “The Beijing Calendar”. What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijing’s historic hutong. These narrow alleyways, rich in history and culture, serve as a wellspring (源泉) of inspiration for her artistry.(2015年，Vladimirova开始创作一系列以北京为中心的插图，并将其命名为“北京日历”。最吸引Vladimirova的是北京历史悠久的胡同。这些历史文化丰富的窄巷是她艺术创作灵感的源泉。)”可知，最吸引Vladimirova的是北京历史悠久的胡同，历史文化丰富的窄巷是她艺术创作灵感的源泉；由此可知，作者提到胡同是为了展示Vladimirova艺术创作的灵感。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Vladimirova’s ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”—someone who didn’t grow up in Beijing. This fresh perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart, ready to embrace a new culture. (Vladimirova能够捕捉到这些隐藏的细微差异，可能是因为她作为一个‘局外人’——一个不在北京长大的人——的独特视角。这种全新的视角让她带着全新的眼光和渴望的心来到这座城市，准备接受一种新的文化。)”可知，Vladimirova的展示北京的绘画之所以如此成功是她对这座城市充满好奇心，以一个“局外人”的身份带着全新的眼光和渴望的心来到北京，以全新的视角去接受一种新的文化；A选项“Curiosity works wonders.(好奇心能创造奇迹。)”能够最好地概括Vladimirova的成功。故选A。
C
Giant stars may be the ultimate example of “Live fast; die young”. Unlike our own sun, which will shine for billions of years, more huge stars can burn through their fuel in only a few million years before dropping off their outer parts and exploding.
This week NASA published a rare image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of one such giant—a Wolf-Rayet star in the final stages of its life. Named WR 124, it’s found in Sagitta and lies about 15, 000 light-years away from Earth. The dying star is at least 30times the mass of our sun but is contracting itself quickly as it sends off hot gas into the cold space.
“We’ve caught it early, ” explains Anthony Moffat, a retired astrophysicist, who previously observed WR 124 using the Hubble Space Telescope and was not involved in the recent JWST measurements. Moffat has studied Wolf-Rayet stars for decades. “This is the youngest one I know of, ” he says. The colorful cloud in the image is only a few thousand years old. “Now the nebula is hugging the star, ” he says. But as time flies by, it will bloom outward in expanding shells or rings of gas and dust.
Astrophysicists created the grand image by combining data from two of JWST’s instruments, the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The Hubble Space Telescope, which mostly gathers light at optical (视觉的) wavelengths, had captured images of WR 124 before, but JWST’s observations show the star’s disappearance in detail.
“Personally, the most exciting part of this image is that we are capturing a rare event—that is, a Wolf-Rayet star—with a level of detail that can only be achieved with JWST. ” says Macarena Garcia Marin, an astrophysicist at the European Space Agency, who works with MIRL
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the topic of the text. B. To present a common problem.
C. To make the article interesting. D. To introduce a theory.
9. What can we know about WR 124 according to NASA
A. It is 10, 000 light-years away from Earth. B. It takes in cold gas from the space.
C. It is 30 times the size of the Earth. D. It is in the last period of its life.
10. What is Marin’s attitude toward the image
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Satisfied. D. Critical.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Stars actually will explode rapidly. B. Giant stars will shine for billions of years.
C. NASA has a great effect on studying stars. D. Rare dying star was revealed in new JWST image.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了出现在JWST的新照片中的一颗罕见的垂死之星，以及对它的研究。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“Giant stars may be the ultimate example of “Live fast; die young”. Unlike our own sun, which will shine for billions of years, more huge stars can burn through their fuel in only a few million years before dropping off their outer parts and exploding. (巨星可能是“活得快，死得早”的终极典范。与我们自己的太阳不同，太阳将照耀数十亿年，更多的巨星可以在几百万年内燃烧掉它们的燃料，然后脱落并爆炸。)”可知，第一段的目的是引出正文的主题，即出现在JWST的新照片中的一颗罕见的垂死之星。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“This week NASA published a rare image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of one such giant—a Wolf-Rayet star in the final stages of its life. Named WR 124, it’s found in Sagitta and lies about 15, 000 light-years away from Earth. The dying star is at least 30times the mass of our sun but is contracting itself quickly as it sends off hot gas into the cold space. (本周，美国宇航局发布了一张罕见的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜(JWST)拍摄的照片，照片上是一颗处于生命最后阶段的巨型沃尔夫-拉叶星。它被命名为WR 124，位于人马座，距离地球约15000光年。这颗垂死的恒星的质量至少是太阳的30倍，但它正在迅速收缩，因为它向寒冷的空间释放热气体。)”可知，根据美国国家航空航天局的说法，它正处于生命的最后阶段。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段““Personally, the most exciting part of this image is that we are capturing a rare event—that is, a Wolf-Rayet star—with a level of detail that can only be achieved with JWST. ” says Macarena Garcia Marin, an astrophysicist at the European Space Agency, who works with MIRL (与MIRL合作的欧洲航天局天体物理学家Macarena Garcia Marin说：“就我个人而言，这张照片最令人兴奋的部分是，我们正在捕捉一个罕见的事件，即Wolf Rayet星，其细节水平只有JWST才能实现。”)”可知，Macarena Garcia Marin对这张照片是满意的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由由文章第二段中“This week NASA published a rare image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of one such giant—a Wolf-Rayet star in the final stages of its life. (本周，美国宇航局发布了一张罕见的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜(JWST)拍摄的照片，照片上是一颗处于生命最后阶段的巨型沃尔夫-拉叶星。)”可知，文章主要介绍了出现在JWST的新照片中的一颗罕见的垂死之星，以及对它的研究。所以，D项“Rare dying star was revealed in new JWST image.”是适合本文的最佳标题。故选D。
D
Language function and the psychosocial well-being of patients and their families can be promoted with singing-based rehabilitation (康复). Group intervention provides opportunities for peer support while being simultaneously cost-effective.
Approximately 40% of stroke (中风) survivors experience aphasia (失语症). a difficulty to understand or produce spoken or written language caused by a cerebrovascular (脑血管的) accident. In half of these cases, the language damage still continues one-year post-stroke. Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social loneliness.
According to a recent study conducted at the University of Helsinki, singing-based group rehabilitation can support communication and speech production of patients and increase social activity even at the long-lasting stage of stroke. The hard work experienced among the family caregivers participating in the study also decreased remarkably. “Our study is the first where caregivers participated in rehabilitation and their psychological well-being was evaluated.” says Postdoctoral Researcher Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski.
Previous research has established that the ability to sing can be left even in severe aphasia. “Our study used a wide variety of singing elements, such as singing by a group of singers, melodic intonation treatment and tablet-assisted singing training.” clarifies Doctoral Researcher Anni Pitkǎniemi.
In melodic intonation therapy, speech production is practised gradually by using melody and rhythm to progress from singing towards speech production. In addition to speech treatment, melodic intonation treatment has been used to some extent in aphasia rehabilitation.
According to the researchers, singing-based group rehabilitation should be used in health-care as part of aphasia rehabilitation. “In addition to training in speech production group based rehabilitation provides an excellent opportunity for peer support both for the patients and their families,” says Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski.
12. Which aspect of aphasia caused by stroke is mainly talked about in paragraph 2
A. Its classification. B. Its structure. C. Its impact. D. Its process.
13. What is the finding of the study conducted at the University of Helsinki
A. Speech treatment is more effective for aphasia.
B. Sound can help improve language function in stroke survivors.
C. Social activity has no impact on the recovery of stroke survivors.
D. Singing-based group rehabilitation can reduce caregivers’ stress.
14. What does the author say about using music in aphasia rehabilitation
A. Singing is an ineffective method. B. Music treatment has been widely used.
C. Singing elements can support recovery. D. Singing alone is the only form of treatment.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Singing-based Rehabilitation B. The Benefits of Group Interventions
C. Promoting Social Activity and Well-being D. The Role of Peer Support in Language Recovery
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】

Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social loneliness.(大约40%的中风幸存者会出现失语症。由于脑血管事故而造成的理解或产生口语或书面语的困难。在其中一半的病例中，语言损伤在中风后一年仍在继续。失语症对中风幸存者的功能和生活质量有广泛的影响，并容易导致社交孤独)”可知，第2段主要讨论了中风引起的失语的影响。故选C。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In addition to speech treatment, melodic intonation treatment has been used to some extent in aphasia rehabilitation.(除言语治疗外，旋律语调治疗在失语症康复中也有一定的应用)”可知，作者认为，在失语症康复中歌唱元素可以支持康复。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Language function and the psychosocial well-being of patients and their families can be promoted with singing-based rehabilitation (康复).

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
Chloe Chang wasn’t sure about giving up her blue, pink, and purple mermaid (美人鱼) palace. Her twin brother Clark had packed a paper bag full of T-shirts and shorts that no longer fit him. “It’s time to go,” called their mother, Mrs. Chang.
The twins raced from their bedroom to the living room. On the floor, they saw a basket full of books and some toys. Clark emptied his bag down while Chloe held on to her mermaid palace. Their dad, Mr. Chang, packed everything into the family’s big-wheeled cart. When he reached for the palace, Chloe put out her hand and insisted on carrying it herself.
As they left their home, Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang took turns pulling the cart to the park, with Chloe and Clark walking behind. The palace felt heavy in Chloe’s arms, but she refused to put it in the cart. A while later, Clark pointed at a banner (横幅) hanging between two trees that read in big letters: NEIGHBORHOOD GIVEAWAY. “Look! It’s right there!” Clark shouted.
Their neighborhood park was full of bags and boxes. Each family brought gently used items that they no longer needed, and everyone was invited to take what they would like at the monthly gathering. Clark’s eyes grew wide as he watched all the toys resting on picnic blankets (毯子), including baby toys, plastics and buckets, stuffed animals, and 300-piece puzzles. One puzzle showing puppy dogs playing in grass caught Clark’s attention. The dog on the box reminded him of his pet Chewie. However, he put the puzzle down, thinking of the huge number of puzzles he already had. Afterwards Clark happily jumped behind his mom.
Mr. Chang unpacked the items they had brought, placing them on a red blanket. “Why do we have to give away our things ” asked Chloe unhappily. “Honey, I know it’s hard to say goodbye to things you used to play with. But your mom and I want to give away things we don’t need anymore. Our neighbors can use them,” Mr. Chang explained.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Suddenly their neighbor Ms. Ruby and her daughter Penelope approached their blanket. Ms. Ruby, with her usual bright smile, greeted the Changs while Penelope examined the items displayed. Then Penelope looked at the mermaid palace Chloe was holding. Ms. Ruby noticing her daughter’s interest, told Chloe about how Penelope had always dreamed of having a mermaid palace but never got one. Chloe looked at her beloved palace and thought back to her mom’s words, a sense of happiness washing over her. Thinking of the happiness her toy might bring another, Chloe decided it was time to let go of her former treasure.
Chloe handed her beloved palace to Penelope. “I think it’s time for my palace to have a new owner.” Chloe whispered, her heart heavy but also filled with warmth. Penelope’s eyes lit up with joy, and she hugged the palace tightly. “Thank you. Chloe!” Penelope shouted. With a bittersweet wave to her old toy, Chloe finally realized the value of letting go and the joy of sharing. The simple act of giving and receiving painted a vivid picture of unity and generosity in this neighborhood.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Chloe and Clark和爸爸妈妈一起参加 NEIGHBORHOOD GIVEAWAY的活动，把他们的物品送给有需要的人，Chloe才开始对放弃自己喜爱的物品很不满，在妈妈解释了原因后，Chloe感受到了分享带来的意义。

②由第二段首句内容“克洛伊把自己心爱的mermaid palace交给了佩内洛普”可知，第二段可描写Chloe的感受和Penelope接受礼物后的感激之情。

Opening the pages of Liuba Draws Beijing takes you on a fascinating visual journey through the heart of China’s busy capital city. Within its lively watercolors, traditional hutong, the grand Summer Palace, and the contemporary charm of Beijing’s Sanlitun and 798Art District all come alive through the artistic lens of Liuba Vladimirova, more famously known as Liuba Draws.
Vladimirova’s journey from the icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years, when she commenced with an academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang, in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing. Since then, her affection for the city has been undeniable.
Vladimirova’s path as an artist was far from linear (直线的). Since childhood Vladimirova has developed a love for drawing and painting. However, she pursued a different academic and professional route, studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China, none of which was directly connected to the world of art. Yet, Vladimirova’s inner artist remained alive.
In 2015, Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centered around Beijing, properly named “The Beijing Calendar”. What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijing’s historic hutong. These narrow alleyways, rich in history and culture, serve as a wellspring (源泉) of inspiration for her artistry.
Vladimirova’s ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”—someone who didn’t grow up in Beijing. This fresh perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart, ready to embrace a new culture.
4. What do the underlined words “commenced with” mean in paragraph 2
A. Improved. B. Began. C. Resisted. D. Assessed.
5. What do we know about Vladimirova from paragraph 3
A. She gave up her dream. B. She won many art prizes several years ago.
C. She was hardworking over her childhood. D. She delayed her artistic career.
6. Why does the author mention hutong
A. To praise Beijing’s architecture. B. To show the inspiration of Vladimirova’s art making.
C. To state the main contents of an art book. D. To advise tourists to visit Beijing.
7. Which statement best summarizes Vladimirova’s success
A. Curiosity works wonders. B. Hard work pays off in time.
C. The world is diverse and lively. D. Painting has no national boundaries.
C
Giant stars may be the ultimate example of “Live fast; die young”. Unlike our own sun, which will shine for billions of years, more huge stars can burn through their fuel in only a few million years before dropping off their outer parts and exploding.
This week NASA published a rare image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of one such giant—a Wolf-Rayet star in the final stages of its life. Named WR 124, it’s found in Sagitta and lies about 15, 000 light-years away from Earth. The dying star is at least 30times the mass of our sun but is contracting itself quickly as it sends off hot gas into the cold space.
“We’ve caught it early, ” explains Anthony Moffat, a retired astrophysicist, who previously observed WR 124 using the Hubble Space Telescope and was not involved in the recent JWST measurements. Moffat has studied Wolf-Rayet stars for decades. “This is the youngest one I know of, ” he says. The colorful cloud in the image is only a few thousand years old. “Now the nebula is hugging the star, ” he says. But as time flies by, it will bloom outward in expanding shells or rings of gas and dust.
Astrophysicists created the grand image by combining data from two of JWST’s instruments, the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The Hubble Space Telescope, which mostly gathers light at optical (视觉的) wavelengths, had captured images of WR 124 before, but JWST’s observations show the star’s disappearance in detail.
“Personally, the most exciting part of this image is that we are capturing a rare event—that is, a Wolf-Rayet star—with a level of detail that can only be achieved with JWST. ” says Macarena Garcia Marin, an astrophysicist at the European Space Agency, who works with MIRL
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the topic of the text. B. To present a common problem.
C. To make the article interesting. D. To introduce a theory.
9. What can we know about WR 124 according to NASA
A. It is 10, 000 light-years away from Earth. B. It takes in cold gas from the space.
C. It is 30 times the size of the Earth. D. It is in the last period of its life.
10. What is Marin’s attitude toward the image
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Satisfied. D. Critical.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Stars actually will explode rapidly. B. Giant stars will shine for billions of years.
C. NASA has a great effect on studying stars. D. Rare dying star was revealed in new JWST image.
D

In half of these cases, the language damage still continues one-year post-stroke. Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social loneliness.
According to a recent study conducted at the University of Helsinki, singing-based group rehabilitation can support communication and speech production of patients and increase social activity even at the long-lasting stage of stroke. The hard work experienced among the family caregivers participating in the study also decreased remarkably. “Our study is the first where caregivers participated in rehabilitation and their psychological well-being was evaluated.” says Postdoctoral Researcher Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski.
Previous research has established that the ability to sing can be left even in severe aphasia. “Our study used a wide variety of singing elements, such as singing by a group of singers, melodic intonation treatment and tablet-assisted singing training.” clarifies Doctoral Researcher Anni Pitkǎniemi.
In melodic intonation therapy, speech production is practised gradually by using melody and rhythm to progress from singing towards speech production. In addition to speech treatment, melodic intonation treatment has been used to some extent in aphasia rehabilitation.
According to the researchers, singing-based group rehabilitation should be used in health-care as part of aphasia rehabilitation. “In addition to training in speech production group based rehabilitation provides an excellent opportunity for peer support both for the patients and their families,” says Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski.

Chloe Chang wasn’t sure about giving up her blue pink, and purple mermaid (美人鱼) palace. Her twin brother Clark had packed a paper bag full of T-shirts and shorts that no longer fit him. “It’s time to go,” called their mother, Mrs. Chang.
The twins raced from their bedroom to the living room. On the floor, they saw a basket full of books and some toys. Clark emptied his bag down while Chloe held on to her mermaid palace. Their dad, Mr. Chang, packed everything into the family’s big-wheeled cart. When he reached for the palace, Chloe put out her hand and insisted on carrying it herself.
As they left their home, Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang took turns pulling the cart to the park, with Chloe and Clark walking behind. The palace felt heavy in Chloe’s arms, but she refused to put it in the cart. A while later, Clark pointed at a banner (横幅) hanging between two trees that read in big letters: NEIGHBORHOOD GIVEAWAY. “Look! It’s right there!” Clark shouted.
Their neighborhood park was full of bags and boxes. Each family brought gently used items that they no longer needed, and everyone was invited to take what they would like at the monthly gathering. Clark’s eyes grew wide as he watched all the toys resting on picnic blankets (毯子), including baby toys, plastics and buckets, stuffed animals, and 300-piece puzzles. One puzzle showing puppy dogs playing in grass caught Clark’s attention. The dog on the box reminded him of his pet Chewie. However, he put the puzzle down, thinking of the huge number of puzzles he already had. Afterwards Clark happily jumped behind his mom.
Mr. Chang unpacked the items they had brought, placing them on a red blanket. “Why do we have to give away our things ” asked Chloe unhappily. “Honey, I know it’s hard to say goodbye to things you used to play with. But your mom and I want to give away things we don’t need anymore. Our neighbors can use them,” Mr. Chang explained.
