C(2024·常州中考)
阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
"Sunrise gold" is a colour that means a lot to me. The colour mixes gold with a bit of red and yellow. I like it because it gives me peace, energy and hope in the face of difficulty.
When I was in the eighth grade, I took part in a speech competition. Although I made all my efforts, I didn't win. 1. C I had trouble falling asleep that night. It was 3:30 in the morning, and there was nothing but me and my unhappy heart. I got up and went upstairs to the roof(屋顶) top to clear my mind.
2. E At first, it was orange and red, but after a short while, the sun awoke from its sleep and painted the sky with its gold colour. The sunlight shone on everything—trees, roofs and streets. 3. F The rays of light woke up the gentle morning wind and sent it moving across the field, touching my face and everything gently. It also woke up the early birds, which were singing happily.
There and then I realized that past is history, no matter how much we regret it. I thought to myself, "Maybe I can start once more, just like the dawn(黎明)." 4. D

| B. I tried to remember all of what I heard.

| F. I felt its warmth flow through my body and into my heart.
