I asked.“Truly so J answered my brother, with a smile but a very serious face.Now, I was a simple-hearted child who believed everything that was told to me; so, without another word, I rushed out toward the wood. My brother called after me as loudly as he was able to, but I did not take any notice of him.I cared nothing for the wet grass, on and on I ran. I was so sure that I knew just where that rainbow ended. But when I reached the cedars （雪松林）,the end of the rainbow was not there!Abruptly I saw it shining down among the trees a little farther off; so on and on I struggled, through the thick bushes, till I came within the sound of a stream. I reached the bank of the stream, and I could see it a little way off on the other side. I crossed the stream on a fallen tree, and still ran on, though my muscles were aching and my knees shaking.Suddenly I met in my way a large porcupine （豪猪）. I ran away from him as fast as my tired feet would carry me. In my flight and hurry I forgot to keep my eye on the rainbow, and when, at last, I remembered and looked for it, it was nowhere in sight!When I saw that it was indeed gone, I burst into tears, for I had lost all my treasures, and had nothing but muddy feet and a wet and torn dress. So I set out for home.注意：1 .所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2 .续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。Paragraph 1:But I soon found that my troubles had only begun.Paragraph 2:At last I heard my own name called.C.

But suddenly, all that seemed at risk. A few days earlier, a chef named Lem Sen had arrived, saying he had invented it a decade before while working at a restaurant in San Francisco. His recipe had been stolen by an American diner to make money. Through his lawyer, he demanded restaurants pay him for using his recipe.Chop suey was first mentioned by Chinese-American journalist Wang Chin Foo in a list of common dishes he thought most attractive to Western tastes. As he explained, "each Chinese cook has his own recipe. The main parts are pork, bacon, chicken, mushroom, bamboo shoots, onion, and pepper, while accidental ones are duck, beef, salted black beans etc. Yet it is often considered by Westerners that this is a "national dish of China, more than any other dish they've known.Although a hyperbolic way to introduce this dish, it clearly showed that chop suey was indeed of Chinese origin. Where exactly its roots lay has been debated; but it was probably first cooked in Taishan, Guangdong, where most early immigrants to America had grown up. In 1866, the journalist Allan Forman noticed it as a delicious dish despite its "mysterious nature"，and nine years later, the first recipe appeared in magazines, with some un-Chinese ingredients thrown in.It was not long before a myth making began. In 1896, Li Hongzhang visited New York, and newspapers mistakenly reported that while refusing Western dishes at a banquet （宴会）,he had enthusiastically accepted a plate of chop suey. This caused a great hit, and many who never heard of it before simply assumed that it was introduced to the US by Li Hongzhang, which accidentally promoted the dish's popularity.24. What is the purpose of a chef's story in paragraph 1?A. To describe food history.B. To bring out chop suey.C. To show risky business world.D. To introduce a law case.25. What would Wang Chin Foo most agree with about chop suey?A. Fixed ingredients.B. Its popularity overseas.C. Un-Chinese nature.D. Mixed national identities.26. When chop suey was introduced in a “hyperbolic" way, it was.A. remarked beyond realityB. explained in greater detailsC. praised in something commonD. commented based on the origin27. What can be inferred about the myth making on chop suey?A. Li Hongzhang promoted this dish.B. Its popularity was based on facts.C. Mass media belonged to the root cause.D. Public opinions voiced acceptance.CMy favorite thing about autumn is that I have an excuse to make my mom apple cake again. So, I always thought, once my first child was in primary school, I would enjoy taking part in bake sale fundraisers.Instead, I fear them. I do not imagine that funds for football uniforms appear out of thin air. So I dutifully show up to each bake sale with home-made cakes.Still, bake sales trouble me. They feel like a holdover from a time when many moms didn't work and it was supposed they had a lot of time to bake cookies for children. Women who don't have the time to bake at home and who bring packaged cookies are seen as breaking a great American tradition.What are we selling at bake sales, anyway? Are we advertising our baking skills? Or is the goal to raise money? Children happily buy cupcakes from a store, so why do we care that nobody in a home kitchen worked late into the night to make them?Actually, if you look closely at the economics, they just don't add up. We might spend $10 on ingredients to make 18 cupcakes that sell for $2 each. Think of this $26 as profit supposing that the hours spent shopping and baking and packing things up and taking them to school, and possibly selling and cleaning up afterward, don't have value. Volunteering your time and energy to something important is worth praising. But neither the ingredients northe work is "free”, and many parents can*t afford to give them away.This is not an attack against people who love to make banana bread and have the time to do so. But most people do not. Most parents struggle to get even the most basic parenting tasks finished in the limited time between the end of the workday and children's bedtimes. It feels crazy to take time away from helping with homework or actuallymaking dinner, to spend hours on a fundraiser.28. What can we learn about the author?A. She loves baking.C. She likes home-made food.29. Why do bake sales trouble the author?A. She has to buy cakes in stores.C. Some moms don't attend bake sales.30. What does the example in Paragraph 5 show?A. Ingredients are too expensive.C. It is hard to raise money at bake sales.B. She is active at school.D. She is against fundraising.B. Home-made baking is a burden.D. Moms are showing off their baking skills.B. It is uneconomical to bake at home.
