六、阅读理解。
Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a young girl named Mei. She was known for her kind heart and gentle nature. Every day, Mei would help her parents in their small farm, working tirelessly from morning until night.
One day, as Mei was collecting water from the nearby river, she noticed a wounded bird lying on the ground. Without hesitation, she picked up the bird and brought it back to her house. She cleaned its wounds and fed it, taking care of it until it was fully recovered.
Months later, the bird had fully healed(治愈) and Mei knew it was time for it to return to the wild. With a heavy heart, she released the bird into the sky, watching as it flew away.
A few days later, Mei was working in the fields when she heard a loud rustling(沙沙声) sound. She turned around to see a group of wild animals approaching(逼近) her. She was so scared that she began to run, but the animals were quickly closing in on her.
Just when it seemed all hope was lost, the bird appeared out of nowhere. It began to circle above Mei, squawking(发出刺耳的尖叫声) loudly to drive the animals away. The animals, frightened by the sudden noise, backed away and Mei was able to escape to safety.
Grateful for the bird's help, Mei realized that sometimes, even the smallest acts of kindness can have the biggest impact(影响). From that day on, she promised to always help those in need, just as she had helped the bird. Years later, Mei grew up to become a compassionate(有同情心的) and selfless person. She used her knowledge and skills to improve the lives of those in her community. Mei's story spread far and wide, inspiring others to reach out and help those in need. She became a symbol of hope and kindness.
