情境2 你和邻居互相分享快乐吗?一起来读读作者与邻居"快乐"和她的丈夫本相处的故事吧!
任务1 (2024·无锡江阴期末)阅读理解
I have a neighbour. We call her "Happy", I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a bad word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a large garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbours watched interestingly when Ben doubled the size of their garden. Because the cost of food climbed faster than Ben's beans(豆), we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy was picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighbourhood over for an "all-day food party". She told us to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn't know what was about to happen.
By 9:00 a. m. , there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans and pumpkins. By 10:00 a. m. , there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By 5:00 p. m. , everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag full of the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a wonderful gift!
Well, the point wasn't so much about the
food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying each other's company.

情境3 你帮助过邻居吗?一起来读读一个小男孩主动帮助邻居清理花园的故事吧!
任务1 阅读表达
There was a friendly neighbourhood where every house had beautiful gardens. Among them lived a young boy who loved nothing more than staying at home with his family. One day, while playing in his yard, he found that his elderly neighbour's garden was overgrown and in need of some care.
The young boy picked up his gardening tools at once and headed next door. He spent the whole afternoon weeding(除杂草) and watering the garden with love and care. When he was finished, he felt really happy about the change he made.
The next morning, he woke up to find that the elderly neighbour left a basket of fresh fruit and vegetables on their doorstep as a way of thanking him for his hard work. From that day on, the young boy learned that it was good to help others and do something for the community. The simple act brought everyone in the neighbourhood closer together.
