六、阅读表达(第54题2分,第55题2分,第56题3分,满分7分)
请认真阅读下面短文,回答短文后的问题。
On a bright March afternoon, some travellers moved through the snow along Bearskin Lake. There were three dads and four teens. The teens, 14 to 16 years old, chatted and laughed. They each were pulling a sled(雪橇) which was full of winter camping gear(用具). Their dads—Bob Feyen, Jesse Schomberg and Kevin Skwira-Brown—also pulled gear.
Even when they were young, the children did their share. "The rules, from the beginning, were that everyone has to pull a sled," Kevin Skwira-Brown said. "We want them to grow up strong." In the early years, the children pulled small sleds with just sleeping bags. Now, they pull full-size sleds.
For 10 years now, these dads and sons or daughters have been making this journey each winter. "Bob, Kevin and I did this one winter with our children," Schomberg said. "The kids thought it was great fun, so we made it a tradition."
On this bright March afternoon, the group was going to Daniels Lake. They would camp there for three days. They all stayed in Schomberg's tent.
Hannah Feyen told a story about a trip when she was young. "We were walking across a stream one time, and I lost a boot in it. I shouted to my dad for help. He just shouted back 'You can get it back yourself!' and I did," laughed Hannah.
Bob Feyen said they were taking their children to this trip every March. They would keep on the tradition until the teens moved away for college.
54. How many times has the winter trip been held?

55. Why did the dads want to have the trip with their children?

56. If you have a task, would you like to complete it by yourself or with others' help? Why?

55题：根据题干关键词“why the dads have the trip”，定位原文第二段Kevin Skwira-Brown的引语“We want them to grow up strong.”，直接提取原因作答。
56题：结合文章中Hannah独立找回靴子的事例，选择一种观点，如选择求助他人，用谚语“many hands make light work”说明理由，言之有理即可。
【答案】
54. Ten.
55. Because they want their children to grow up strong.
56. I'd love to complete it with others' help because “many hands make light work”.（答案不唯一，言之有理即可）
