Most of the boys want to be explorers, and the two brothers are among them. For Ollbie and Harry, life is an adventure. For the past several years, the brothers have been working to _______ a list of 500 challenges and experiences.

"The idea came about actually from the boys," their father, MacNeill Ferguson, said. "The boys were just asked one day if they could come up with some cool things for us to do as a family. They _______ some impossible ideas firstly, like going on a trip to Mars, International Sausage Day and all kinds of _______ kids' requests. They built the list to a hundred, then kept finding new things they wanted to go and try... until it got up to 500." They're all listed on the brothers' Facebook page.

So far, they have built an igloo (圓頂小屋),explored the wilderness, and sent their Lego men to the depths of the ocean and into outer space. Perhaps their biggest adventure is playing out right now on the high seas. Last year, Ollbie and Harry's "Adventure", one of their toy ships _______ from the Scottish coast. It sailed across the North Sea to Scandinavia. It then began a ride on a Norwegian boat and was launched again. _______, they had equipped the toy ship with a tracking device (跟蹤器). It allowed the brothers to know every step of the sailing well. But the battery on the tracking device is becoming weak, so Harry and Ollbie hope a passing ship notice their boat and is able to recharge (充電) its battery, allowing the trip to continue.

"I want it to go to Australia because that would be halfway around the world, and there's lots of beaches there," Ollbie said.

"Harry, where would you like the boat to go?" Ferguson asked. Without any _______, Harry replied, "that would be China because we all love China." He thought that even there were so many difficulties the boat would reach China.

科目：初中英語 來源：2020年上海市普陀區(qū)中考二模英語試卷 題型：回答問題

Old John has worked as a school keeper in Hill Ford School. After walking into the school building every day, he cleans rubbish bins and bathrooms.

Last Friday, after he arrived at the school, instead of finding rubbish to clean up, he found almost 500 students lining in the hallway(大廳) with handmade cards and singing a happy birthday song to him. It was his 80th birthday. As he walked the long hallway, someone rushed to him and gave him a hug. They handed him so many cards as well and the cards filled several large boxes. Old John was touched by their expression of affection(關(guān)愛). He thanked them all. “It’s the sixteenth year in this school. They’re like my children.” Old John said.

On a regular day, students sometimes come up to find him and say they’re not feeling well or other times to tell him about something that happened at break time. He knows most of the students at the school, but can’t name each one. Some of them make him know them. Like Faith, who often leaves her school bag in the canteen, and Lucy, who just wants a hug.

Carrie, a reading teacher said,“He won’t brag(夸耀) on himself, but it doesn’t matter what he’s doing or where he is, he will stop what he’s doing at any time to give all his attention and take care of a child if that child is having a bad day. ”

He works circles around all the students, cleaning up the mess others don’t want to touch. He doesn’t expect a lot. Old John said he hadn’t planned to do much for his birthday, so he was touched as the students had prepared the surprise celebration.

Over the weekend, he worked through the handmade cards at his house. One card from a student stood out to him. It read “Old John, you are the most loved one in our school...”
