My husband and I were empty nesters living in South Dakota.Two of our children were in Minnesota.Our youngest，Shana，was going to graduate school in St.Paul, and our oldest, Ryan, was living with his wife in Minneapolis.Our middle child, Michael, was teaching in Las Vegas.Everyone had to come from far away to gather in our hometown for Christmas.
When you have grown children who lead separate lives, you will learn to graciously accept whatever quality time you get with them.One particular Christmas, we had only a two­day window to revel (狂欢).
Holiday cheer needed to start on Saturday afternoon and end forty­eight hours later.Shana was leaving for a trip, and Ryan was getting together with his wife's family.Only Michael might stay with us for a full week.
Everyone made it at the appointed hour except for Michael, who was grounded by a snowstorm at the Denver International Airport. “It's pretty bad here，”Michael reported over the phone.“I'm stuck overnight at least.”
“We'll save your king crab legs so you can eat them when you get here，”I said.“Dad and I will make sure your gifts stay under the tree until you arrive.Keep in touch with us.”
Saturday night came and went.On Sunday, we joyfully ate egg bake and spent the day playing newly-opened board games and watching Christmas movies.That evening, Michael called to tell us that he would spend one more night in Denver, and then arrive at Sioux Falls Regional Airport at noon the next day.
“It will be great when you finally get here，”I told him, keeping the worry and fear out of my voice.My mind was doing mental math about how much of the forty­eight hours we would have left if the plane arrived on time —not a lot! By my calculations, we would only be together for one hour.I decided then we would have the Christmas at the airport.I would bring a Christmas CD, a CD player and decorated sugar cookies, and I was going to wear a Santa hat!
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。

The next morning, I announced my decision.
We ate our food and opened our gifts.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了当前世界老龄化的现象以及造成这一现象的两大因素。

1．was 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。

结合上文的主语age可知，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式，同时根据in 1950可知，此处的时态为一般过去时，故填was。

2．to increase 考查非谓语动词。

根据is expected可知，其后需要接不定式to do结构，意为“预计将……”。

故填to increase。

3.numbers 考查名词的单复数。

根据下文的are可知，这里需要用number的复数形式，故填numbers。

4.by 考查介词。

根据上下文可知，空处位于表示被动的动词后，故应填by，表示“由，被”。

5．compared 考查非谓语动词。

根据句式结构可知，此处应填非谓语动词，且compare 与逻辑主语old generations是动宾关系，故填compared。

compared to 是固定结构，意为“与……相比”。

6．older考查形容词的比较级。

结合句意和下文的“than before”可知，这里意为“比以前更加年老”，故填older。

7.particularly考查副词。

根据句式结构可知，此处修饰形容词true应用副词，故填particularly。

8.a 考查冠词。

根据下文的chance可知，这里语意表示“非常实际的一个可能性”，故填不定冠词a，表示泛指。

9.be placed 考查动词的被动语态。

结合句意可知，此处attention与place构成被动关系。

又因空前是情态动词should，故填be placed。

10.and 考查并列连词。

结合句意可知，healthier和more productive构成并列关系且语义一致，故填and。

Dear Mary，
I'm writing to ask for your help.I want to find a part­time job in the summer vacation from which I can gain some social experience to improve myself.Since I'm unfamiliar with the city I'm in, I wonder if you can recommend some suitable part­time jobs to me.The jobs I desire are under the protection of the law.Besides, the working place should be close to where I live and have convenient transportation.And it's desired that the jobs be related to my hobby.As you know, I'm interested in playing the piano and good at it.I would appreciate it if you'd like to do me a favor.
Yours，

参考范文：
The next morning, I announced my decision.Luckily, my decision got supported by others.Shana and Ryan packed their cars since they would be driving to their homes straight from the airport.I put the CD player and food along with the Christmas gifts in our car, and we drove to
the terminal.Michael's plane was on time.We hurried to find an empty booth in the airport restaurant.I turned on the CD player and holiday tunes quickly filled our little corner of the world.
We ate our food and opened our gifts.We posed before a Christmas tree in the airport hall, with me standing in the middle.A passer­by helped take a photo for us.Then Shana and Ryan started their journey home.All festivities were over.When I finally got the photo developed, it revealed five joyful people: three young men; an old couple who smiled happily because their family finally all got together! I realized what many mothers kept in their hearts: to catch every precious family minute.。
