When young, I dreamed of being many things. I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding new planets and jumping around in a cool space suit. I imagined being a cowboy in the having gun fights and wearing stylish cowboy boots. I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals. I love being able to play the role of somebody, even just for a short time, to try to realize what it might be like to walk in their shoes.

Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments and scenarios (剧情梗概) in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the specific story of the day. Growing up with brothers and sisters also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories could be created, bining our ideas and putting our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties in the story, as sometimes I could be the hero while on other occasions, I would be the bad guy.

One of my all—time favorite memories as a kid was recreating the Indiana Jones character in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as the evil man. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacle that needed to be overe, and we would keep the story going for hours!

My personal favorite was Indiana Jones and the Stolen Easter Eggs, where my brother hid small chocolate eggs around and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving

a puzzle. It was difficulty but eventually we found all the eggs and shared them together. 24. What is mainly discussed in the first paragraph? A. The author’s early careers.

B. They could act out the stories with more characters. C. They could discuss the scenarios together. D. They could share some joys and sorrows.

26. When playing the Indiana and the Stolen Easter Eggs . A. the author hid chocolate eggs around the garden

B. the author’s sister answered questions or solved a puzzle alone C. the author’s brother took up the job of finding the chocolate eggs

D. the author, his brother and his sister would share the chocolate eggs after finding eggs 27. According to the passage, the author in childhood can be described as . A. aggressive and brave

Turning strangers into neighbors and streets into neighborhoods, Neighbors Day Aotearoa is back for the third year as a national celebration of neighborliness.

Neighbors Day Aotearoa (NDA) on 23 — 24 March will give all Kiwis a great opportunity to connect with others in their immediate neighborhood.

Over the weekend, thousands of neighbors all around the country will gather together to get to know each other, and make connections and support systems that will continue to enrich their lives long after the weekend has ended.

A shining example of neighborly spirit inspired by NDA is Victoria Dawson—Wheeler, a 32 — year—old from Arch Hill, Auckland, who won the Neighbors Day Aotearoa story petition last year.

Victoria organized a big breakfast for her whole neighborhood, asking local business to take part by donating enough coffee, muffins, and bacon for everyone who came along.

She also created a gift — swap exercise called “Love thy neighbor” where each participant

B. naughty and realistic

D. creative and hard—working

C. imaginative and energetic

had to talk with at least two other households in the neighborhood.

It was a huge success. “I was blown away by the generosity and thoughtfulness of everyone present,” she says. “It’s so hard to meet people, nobody wants to be the first to say ‘hi’, but once you’re past that stage it’s great!”

Since Neighbors Day, Arch Hill has bee known for its munity - mindedness. When babies are born, people drop by with food and clothes for the new parents. When a neighbor is in trouble, people are now much more likely to lend a hand.

“These small but important changes in neighborhoods are what Neighbors Day Aotearoa is all about. More and more of this happening tight around the country will mean neighborliness is increasing in every munity. We’re already starting to see this movement grow,” says John McCarthy, one of the organizers.

With better connected streets, neighborhoods, and more everyday neighborliness, New Zealand munities will be stronger and more able to deal with many of the social concerns that exist in Aotearoa.

The Neighbors Day website ( neighborsday. org. nz) features NDA success stories to help inspire New Zealanders to take part in Neighbors Day. Participants who sign up through the website will be sent a resource pack with lots of great ideas to organize an NDA celebration that works ￡or their neighborhood.
