[江苏南通中学月考]Today was Community Service Day at school. Maya’s class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home. It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace(支架) to school, which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning, Maya looked down, feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier, she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still, she was unsure about others’ reaction. All morning at school, kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief, they didn’t say anything.
In the classroom, Maya was drawing little green buds(芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt this eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking, “What’s that for?” Not knowing what to say, Maya pretended she didn’t hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness, she glanced back at him, and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch, the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path. Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair, with a big smile on her face, sat the lady, wearing a pink coat, with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life. Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir, she greeted first. “I’m Joan,” she said cheerfully, “Glad to meet you.”
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration, “You’ve written a poem! That’s so artistic!” Samir’s face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture. “The first flowers of spring!” she cried in delight. “You really have a gift for using colour!” she said. Clearly, Joan’s praise added great power into Maya.

Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home.

答案： Paragraph 1:
In a sudden wave of bravery, Maya asked, “What’s it like being in a wheelchair?” Joan smiled warmly, her eyes twinkling. “At first, I felt sad, like I’d lost my wings,” she said, patting her wheelchair gently. “But then I realized—this chair is my new pair of wings! It takes me to the garden to smell roses, to the hall to listen to stories, and now to meet lovely kids like you.” Her gaze fell on Maya’s brace, and she added softly, “Is that little butterfly brace helping you walk better? It’s beautiful, like you’re carrying spring with you.” Maya blushed, but this time, it was with pride.
Paragraph 2:
Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home. “Sorry I ignored you this morning,” she said, pointing to her brace. “It helps me walk steadily. I was just shy.” Samir grinned. “I thought it looked cool—those butterflies are awesome! I wanted to ask but didn’t want to upset you.” Maya laughed, feeling light. As the bus moved, she touched her brace, no longer embarrassed. Thanks to Joan, she knew: what matters isn’t the “wings” we wear, but the courage to fly.
