He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didnt think he was very nice and I was sure he wasnt the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didnt talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong.Havent you got any friends? a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down.No, he hasnt got any friends. Hes too stupid and shy, I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldnt sleep because I couldnt get Christians face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive (原諒) me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. You will never realize what your apology (道歉) has meant to me, Jimmy, he said to me. I hope we can become friends.We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had.

The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor, and then it move slowly for 108 years and 138 days.Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015. Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island. She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach. She saw a piece of paper inside, but didnt break it open. She could tell that the bottle was old. So she didnt want to damage it.Finally she got the piece of paper out of the bottle. She found that the paper was actually a postcard. On the back of the card there was this message: The Marine Biological Association（海洋生物學(xué)協(xié)會） would pay a shilling（先令） for the bottle. A shilling was a unit of money that was used in Great Britain before the early 1970s.Winkler filled out the card and posted it. The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder, the president of the association from 1939 to 1945. The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling. They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward.The message in the bottle was the oldest ever re-discovered. For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in “Guinness World Records”（吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄）. She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle.Winklers bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to sea. Between 1904 and 1906, he spent away more than one thousand bottles. He placed postcards inside them. The bottles were part of a research project to map currents（洋流） in the North Sea. This was the best method at that time. But whether the association could get the bottles back depended on the people who found them. The association reported that about 55 percent of the bottles were returned. They added that the experiment was a success as it showed the east-to-west flow of the North Seas currents.（1）How long did the weighted glass bottle move in the sea? （2）Did Marianne Winkler find the bottle in 2015? （3）What was in the bottle? （4）Who was George Bidder? （5）Why did Bidder drop bottles into the sea? 四、 單詞拼寫 (共1題；共7分)25. （7分）在短文的空格內(nèi)填入適當(dāng)?shù)脑~，使其內(nèi)容通順，每空格限填一詞，首字母已給Have you ever wondered what an American high school and its students are really like?A typical (典型的) American high school has several large buildings and enough s_for about 1,500 students.
