The greatest gift
Kerrie and I had always been close friends through elementary school and middle school. But when high school started, everything seemed to 1 between us. I was more independent and did whatever suited me. However, Kerrie wanted to be liked. She was willing to do anything to become 2 , which was the only thing she wanted.
At the end of our first year, she finally got invited to the biggest party of the year. As her best friend, I helped her get ready for the party. After I watched her leave, I headed into the house with a big sigh (叹气) and 3 that everything could go back the way it used to be between us.
At about 2:00 a.m., my phone rang. It was Kerrie’s mother. I could hear the 4 in her voice. “Kerrie’s been in an accident,” she said. My mind began racing in fear.
“She was hit by a truck,” her mother continued to say. “ 5 , it wasn’t too bad. She has got a fracture (骨折). The doctor said she’d be OK in a month.”
After taking control of my thoughts again, I 6 to calm down and hurried to the hospital.
Over the next few days, I learned more about what had happened. Kerrie had wanted to 7 in so badly at the party that she tried to please everyone. After the party, some girls told her to get a taxi for them. While Kerrie was standing in the cold waiting for a taxi, a truck came out of nowhere and hit her.
In the following weeks, I visited Kerrie every day. However, no one at the party ever came to see her, even the girls that she had tried to get a taxi for.
It was Kerrie’s birthday when she left the hospital. I asked her what she wanted and she told me she had already received the greatest gift from me—unconditional love and true friendship since I had always been there to 8 her no matter what happened.

Ⅱ.[2019·海淀一模] 阅读理解
My name is Jackson. I’m a great reader with good memory. I remember almost everything I read. But I don’t like to speak in class. When Mr. Knoll announced an oral book report, the idea of going up and having my classmates staring at me while I talked filled me with anxiety.
As for the date, if the book report was due in two weeks, I would do it right then. Mr. Knoll, though, gave us a month to get the report ready, so I thought I had plenty of time.
Finally, I chose Fire-Hunter by Jim Kjelgaard. It looked really interesting. I read the first few pages and then I set it aside. I wasn’t worried. I had plenty of time. Then the book got buried in the clutter(杂物) in my room.
Before I knew it, the date of the book report was a week away. Some kids had already finished. I was in a panic. I raced home and found the book. Trembling(颤抖), I turned to the back and discovered there were 218 pages! I read like crazy.
The last day came. When Mr. Knoll called on me to give my report, I still had eighty pages to go.
The class looked sorry for me when I pulled myself forward. They could see my fear.
“My book is Fire-Hunter, by Jim Kjelgaard,” I began slowly. Then I started to tell the story and the class seemed interested. To my surprise, I discovered I was enjoying myself. However, I had no idea how the book ended. I really didn’t know what came over me. I made up the rest of the story on the spot. The class loved it, and applauded as I finished.
At break time, Mr. Knoll called me over. “You know, Jackson, I don’t really remember the book ending that way.”
I gulped (倒吸气).
