Ⅰ.阅读理解

When I walked to room G7 for the first time on August 14,2018,I wasn't sure what to expect.It would be my final year at high school,and I was anxious about meeting a teacher for my International Relations course.As I approached G7's doorway,I was greeted by Mr Valentine and I soon realized he was one of the most important people to ever enter my life.

Mr Valentine showed excitement and passion as he taught,running across his classroom and engaging his students in academic discussions.His clear love of teaching was what I had never experienced before.For the first time in years,I felt at home,and I truly wanted to learn.

It isn't merely his teaching style,however,that has made Mr Valentine one of my largest inspirations and personal role models.I will never forget the day when I asked him what he would want to do if he weren't a teacher.Without skipping a beat,he told me that he would wish to continue working for the government so that he would still be able to help others.That conversation alone convinced me that I had met one of the kindest humans in this world,simply because Mr Valentine is dedicated purely to helping and bettering the life of others.

On a personal level,Mr Valentine has been very influential for me.He provides me with a supportive,caring environment when I lack one.Even more importantly,he makes me want to do great,fantastic things.As I approach my first year of college,I only hope that Mr Valentine will remain in my life as my mentor.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people hardly visited.The house was very old and the owner hardly ever came out.When he did come out,he would not say hello to neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.

The boy knocked on the door and waited,sweating from fear of the old man.The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house.A lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same by their parents.

As he was ready to walk away,the door slowly opened. “What do you want?”the old man said.The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(定额)to meet for school with selling the magazines.

“Uh,sir,I uh am selling these magazines and uh I was wondering if you would like to buy one.”The old man just stared at the boy.The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines(小狗雕像)on the wall.“Do you collect dogs?”the little boy asked.“Yes,I have many collections in my house.They are my family here.They are all I have.”The boy then felt sorry for the man,as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.“Well,I do have a magazine here for collectors.It is perfect for you.I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.”The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said,“No boy,I don't need any magazines of any kind,now goodbye.”

The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale.He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the big house that he owned.The boy went home and then had an idea.He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt.The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.

Paragraph 1:

The boy headed back down to the old man's house with the figurine.______________

Paragraph 2:

From that day on,something changed inside the old man.______________________
