一、完形填空
(2025 苏州吴江期中)Jenny was ready to join in the after-school activities which are the same every year. She arrived at the classroom when Ms Corey was speaking, "This year, you may become ABC Volunteers. You will go to the city to help people learn how to read." Jenny was interested right away, "It's something !"
It was the first day for the ABC Volunteers. Inside the library Ms Corey said, "Jenny, your student is Roberto. Look, he is sitting at the study desk." Jenny looked . The only man sitting at the desk was a man with white hair. "I'm Roberto," the man said. "Hi, I'm Jenny," said Jenny. Roberto looked older than her grandfather! How for her to be teaching him!
Jenny sat down beside Roberto. "When I was a child," he said, "I could not go to school because I had to work. I learned to read. Now my son me to live with him. I said to myself, 'Roberto, you want to live in a busy city, you must learn to read English.' So here I am."
Jenny found that she had a great responsibility. Jenny planned to teach Roberto the alphabet. Then she could teach him how the letters worked to make words.
On the last day of this activity, Roberto took out a letter.
Dear Jenny,
Thank you for teaching me. Other children of your age like to run and play after school, but you chose to help an old man. You gave me a wonderful .
Your friend,
Roberto
Jenny gave Roberto a hug. She found that Roberto had helped her too. She was young but he her as a teacher. "Thank you, Roberto, for being my friend," Jenny said.
