《2025年追梦之旅初中期末真题篇九年级英语河南专版》

B
Each person can age slowly along with the time, and this is a natural law. One day, Tom’s parents told him that his grandpa would retire after working for forty years. Tom said in surprise, “I’m only seven, so it means Grandpa has been working for a really long time!” His parents said, “Yes. That’s why we are going to have a party for him.”
Tom loved his grandpa and wanted to do something special for him. He remembered his grandpa gave him a business card two years ago. He knew that his grandpa would no longer have the position on the card, so he decided to make a new one for his grandpa.
When the big day came, Tom was ready. He didn’t want to put his gift together with others’.He carried it with him. When all the other people left, he took his grandpa’s hand and brought him over to a chair and gave him the gift.
His grandpa smiled, “Well, it must be a beautiful gift. May I open it now?”

“Sure!”Tom said happily.
As Grandpa opened the gift, tears came into his eyes. Tom gave him the greatest gift hehadever got! It was a business card with his new position: FULL-TIME GRANDPA! Tom said, “Now your full-time job is my grandpa!” “Well, how much do I get paid?” his grandpa asked, smiling.“As many hugs(拥抱) as you want!” With these words, Tom gave Grandpa a warm hug. “Well,I’m the richest man in the world!” said Grandpa.
