二、阅读理解
Seven-year-old Allen dreamed to be a police officer one day. For his birthday, he only wanted a model police car. He invited all his friends and waited by the window all morning.
But nobody came.
His mum, Rachel, hung up the phone sadly. "Allen, Leo is sick. He can't come," she said softly. A few minutes later, the phone rang again. Jerry had to go to a family dinner. One by one, every friend called to cancel（取消）—Anna said she had to pick up her visiting Grandma at the airport and Ben's dog ran away from his house.
Allen sat on the floor, staring（盯着） at the silent phone. His eyes were red, and he tried hard not to cry. The house felt too big and too quiet.
Just then, the phone rang again. It was Officer Smith. He knew it was Allen's birthday. Rachel answered, trying not to sound too disappointed（失望的）. "Hello? Yes ... the party is canceled. No one is coming."
① He said, "Wait right there. I am coming over now."
Ten minutes later, there was a knock（敲门） on the door. It was Officer Smith in his uniform（制服）. He saw Allen's sad face. "Hey, buddy," he said gently. "Put on your coat. I want to show you something."
Officer Smith drove Allen to the police station. ② When they walked inside, Allen stopped. His eyes became very big.
"Surprise!" many voices shouted.
Inside the room, many real police officers were waiting. There were blue balloons and a big cake.
"Wow! This is for me?" Allen asked, smiling now.
"Yes! We are your friends today," Officer Smith said. ③
They ate cake and laughed. ④ Then, Officer Smith gave Allen a gift bag. Inside was a shiny, new model police car!
"Thank you!" Allen shouted.
