Question

【题目】Building Our Community

"Mom，I hope Steve can take me to the park next weekend，”I said.

"Sorry，Lucy，”Mom said，“your brother is volunteering next weekend to help _______ a house for a family.”

I remembered Steve's eyes had lit up when he first told me about the community home-building project. He was good at building and fixing things，so he was _______ to do something. Now that he was seventeen，he was finally old enough to take part in it.

"It's not _______ ，”I complained. "Steve can change a family's life，but what can I do? I'm only ten.”

Mom put on her serious look.“Don't think about it like that，Lucy，”she said，“people make a _______ by thinking about what they can do，rather than what they can't do.”

Mom's words echoed in my head later that day. Maybe she was right. I might not be able to physically build a house，but I could _______ money to help.

The next day before class，I talked to my teacher，Mr. Brown，about my idea. "Well，we can brainstorm about it，”he said，“I bet your classmates will have some good ideas. _______ will be the best way to make this happen.”

After I explained my idea in class，Brason raised his hand.“My uncle owns a T-shirt shop. Maybe he can print some T-shirts that we can _______

"Great idea！”Mr. Brown said. Then，after a lively discussion，we decided on“Building Our Community" as our slogan(口号）to print. Marla, our class artist，agreed to draw the design.

By Friday，the T-shirts had been printed，and I had posted details about the sale on our class Web page. Our Saturday sale was a success. We earned ＄125．After the sale，we went to the community center. I _______ handed over the money.

Mom and Mr. Brown had both been right. Everyone can do something，and together we can achieve something great.

【4】句意：人们通过思考自己能做什么来发挥作用，而不是思考他们不能做的事。

考查名词及语境的理解。A. suggestion建议；B. decision决心；C. difference不同；D. promise承诺。make a difference起作用，固定短语。故选C。
