Module 6 The Tang Poems Films and TV Programmes (建议用时40分钟) Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A Adam and the potholders(防烫套垫)he weaved About two weeks earlier, I received a bundle of letters and drawings in the mail from a boy. The covering letters read: “To the pancreatic(胰腺的)cancer team at Columbia Presbyterian. My name is Adam Abramowitz. I am a 5th grader at Seely Place Elementary School in Edgemont, NY. Over the past few years I have had many fund-raisers to raise money to donate to pancreatic cancer research at your hospital. I hope to stop this disease. Today I am sending you letters that were written by my class and me. These were made to share with your patients to brighten their day. ” The 13 cards included drawings of flowers, messages of hope and love, and jokes to brighten the patients’ days. Normally, it is rare for someone in 5th grade to step outside himself/herself and help those in need. I quickly learned, Adam is not your normal kid. His story starts at the age of 6. His cousins had recently showed him how to weave potholders. Adam’s grandfather works in the field of pancreatic cancer and would often tell Adam how dangerous the disease was and how little was understood about pancreatic cancer compared to the other major cancers. Adam saw this hobby as an opportunity to make some money and donate it to pancreatic cancer research. After weaving several potholders, he sold them door-to-door around his neighborhood, often times hitting the same houses multiple times. And then Adam started to consider what was popular with kids of his age. This led him to start selling bracelets(手镯), using the weaving techniques he used for the potholders. He stood outside of his local train station, selling bracelets to people. Adam once set up a carnival-like game to attract potential donors. With the help of his father, Adam built his own website, www. endpc. net, selling the potholders and bracelets to help the battle against pancreatic cancer. 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了一个富有爱心的男孩亚当的故事。亚当的爷爷在治疗胰腺癌
