It was an unforgettable experience. When I crossed the border(国境) with my classmates,I saw many poor houses. I was worried that I might face some problems from our living conditions(条件).I was right. We had to sleep in a very small room-18 girls lived together.As there was not enough water, we had to save it day in and day out.For example, we were only allowed five minutes to bathe(洗澡). Although the conditions were bad, we did many things to help children there, like teaching and cleaning. The most difficult thing for me was taking care of babies who were less than 1 year old. That was the first time I had held a baby. It was not easy at all. The babies kept crying on my shoulder(肩膀) whatever I did. When I fed them, they still didnt calm down. After a while, I was tired from the pain (疼痛）in my back and shoulders. I realized how much my parents did for me when I was small. When we were about to leave,a 5-year-old girl gave her teddy bear to us. It was her Christmas gift. Seeing her smiley face and the clean orphanage,we felt so proud（自豪）of ourselves.Answer the following questions:61. Where did the writer do volunteer work?_62. What kind of problems did the writer face?(1)_(2)_63.What was the most difficult thing for the writer?_64.

I really want them to be successful. ” 73.However, the tired children dont get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then its time for homework.74.Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a childs development.Dr.Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children.75.孩子们应该有时间来放松。Although its normal to want successful children,its even more important to have happy children.”71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 第三节 书面表达 （计10分）假如上周日你参加了云龙社区的Yard Sale活动，请给你们学校校刊的English Club栏目写篇关于此次活动的介绍。要点如下：1.有200多人参加了此次活动；2.有的人出售旧东西，如衣服、玩具、自行车等；3.有的人出售自制蛋糕、卡片、书签等；4.还有的人交换旧书；5.请写一至两点你对此次活动的看法。（注意：词数 60-80）参考词汇：Yunlong Community n.云龙社区exchange v. 交换used adj. 旧的；使用过的 8
