Signs posted up and down the school hallway didn’t let me forget: Snowball Dance-Next Friday Night! No one would be asking me, the junior high school outcast. My face was ruined, and my balance was off—I had seizures without warning. All these were making my middle school life miserable. I kept my head down as I hurried to the classroom.
I stepped into the office where my teacher Mrs Barrett waited. She learned that my grandmother had been teaching me to sew for years, but none of the other kids in the class knew it. Mrs Barrett called me up to her desk. “A lot of girls need help with changes on their dresses for the Snowball Dance. I thought you could help me after school, ” she said. “Sure,” I said. Together with Mrs Barrett, I sewed buttons, shortened some sleeves, and lengthened others.
Teresa, one of the most popular girls, came by to pick up her dress. “Roberta designed and sewed it by hand,” Mrs Barrett told her. “It’s fashionable! Thanks. You must have added this brilliant belt,” she said. “I tied ribbons to the end of a pearl necklace,” I said, looking down at my shabby shoes. Teresa didn’t get crowned at the dance, but her Snowball Dance dress was the talk of the school during the following week. Word quickly spread that I was actually good at something. Soon the girls were coming to me and Mrs Barrett for custom-made dresses. “We should organize a fashion show,” Mrs Barrett said one day. We asked the girls in the office and they all wanted to participate. We had a packed auditorium for the show.
“This fashion show was a great success, and better than any dance could be. I think we pushed back the boundaries of fashion, ” Mrs Barrett said after the fashion show.
Those weren’t the only boundaries we pushed back. Later, Mrs Barrett encouraged me to run for student body president. “The kids have known your talent, ” she said. And I was elected president of the grade. I must say it’s my luck to meet Mrs Barrett in my life.
4. What do we know about the author before receiving Mrs Barrett’s request
A. She was well liked by her classmates. B. She wasn’t interested in the dance at all.
C. She felt lonely, miserable and depressed. D. She was unlucky, sensitive, but optimistic.
5. What did Mrs Barrett ask the author to do
A. Design a new dress for her. B. Help her with changes on the girls’ dresses.
C. Go to the Snowball Dance with her. D. Get along with her classmates and cheer up.
6. Why did Teresa’s dress become a popular topic in the school
A. The dress was specially designed. B. She was elected Snowball Queen.
C. She helped design her own dress. D. Teresa was the most popular girl.
7. The author mainly owed her change to ________.
A. her special talent B. her hard work
C. her friendly classmates D. her teacher Mrs Barrett
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D

Could being a little overweight help you live longer A new international analysis (分析) shows a surprising answer: while obesity (肥胖) increases the risk of dying early being slightly overweight reduces it. These studies included almost 3 million adults from around the world, yet the results were clearly the same, the authors of the analysis said.
“If you have a medical condition, your chances, of living are slightly better if you are a bit on the heavy side,” says study author Katherine Flegal, “Several factors may contribute to this finding.”
“Heavier people may tend to see the doctor earlier,” she says, “and may be more likely to be treated according to the doctor’s advice. Obesity itself may protect the heart, or someone who is heavier might be better able to fight against a shock to the system.”
For the study, Flegal’s team collected data on more than 2.88 million people included in 97 studies. The researchers looked at the participants’ (参与者) body mass index (BMI), a measure of body fat that takes into consideration a person’s height and weight.
The researchers found that, compared with people of normal weight, overweight people had a 6 percent lower risk of death. Obese people, however, had an 18 percent higher risk. For those who were the least obese, the risk of death was 5 percent lower than people of normal weight, but for those who were the most obese, the risk of death was 29 percent higher, the findings showed.
While the study found a relation between weight and the risk of early death, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Indeed, one expert warmed that body weight alone cannot tell health and the risk of death.
“There are other factors that play a role in health,” says Dr. William, a professor at Louisiana State University. “BMI simply is a parameter (参数); it doesn’t take family history, smoking, fitness, and other factors into consideration.”
8. What did Flegal’s team do for their study
A. They interviewed almost 3 million adults. B. They did 97 experiments with fat people.
C. They collected data on 2.88 million people. D. They talked with doctors for medical conditions.
9. Compared with people of normal weight, the least obese people had a(n)______ risk of death.
A. 5 percent lower B. 6 percent lower C. 18 percent higher D. 29 percent higher
10. Which of the following may Dr. William agree with
A. Weight contributes to the risk of early death.
B. Weight has no relation with the risk of death.
C. BMI is only a factor to judge people’s health.
D. BMI alone can tell people’s health conditions.
11. What can be the suitable title for the passage
A. Obesity kills B. The thinner, the healthier
C. BMI counts D. A bit overweight, a longer life
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论肥胖对身体健康的影响。根据研究表明，微胖的人可能会活得更久。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“For the study, Flegal’s team collected data on more than 2.88 million people included in 97 studies.”(在这项研究中，Flegal的研究小组在97项研究中收集了288万人的数据)可知，为了这项研究，Flegal的团队收集了288万人的数据。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“For those who were the least obese, the risk of death was 5 percent lower than people of normal weight, but for those who were the most obese, the risk of death was 29 percent higher, the findings showed.(研究结果显示，那些最不肥胖的人的死亡风险比正常体重的人低5%，但那些最肥胖的人的死亡风险要高29%)”可知，那些最不肥胖的人的死亡风险比正常体重的人低5%。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“BMI simply is a parameter (参数); it doesn’t take family history, smoking, fitness, and other factors into consideration. (BMI仅仅是一个参数，它并不考虑家族史，吸烟，健康和其他因素)”可知，BMI仅仅是一个判断人健康的因素。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Could being a little overweight help you live longer A new international analysis shows a surprising answer: while obesity increases the risk of dying early, being slightly overweight reduces it.(微胖可以帮助你活得更久吗？一个新研究分析表明，肥胖可以增加过早死亡的风险，而微胖可以减少这种风险)”及下文对该项研究的介绍可知，A bit overweight, a longer life(稍微超重一点，寿命更长一点)适合做本文最佳标题。故选D项。

A competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature
Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic (贵族化的) life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging, it is a boast (吹牛) disguised as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate ” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off --- usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.
As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more deceitful (欺诈的) than the appearance of humility(谦逊).” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging published in Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a “strategy in pursuit of respect” because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way.
However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay Humblebragging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy, the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity. People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.
So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”
12. Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”
A. You know who my father is My father is Li Gang.
B. Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.
C. It’s a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.
D. I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
13. What is the psychology behind humblebragging
A. To win others’ sympathy. B. To earn others’ admiration.
C. To show his/her sincerity. D. To mask his/her complaint.
14. What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Indirect B. Comic. C. Obvious. D. Sharp.
15. What can’t be inferred from the passage
A. Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.
B. Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.
C. To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.
D. If you want to be perceived positively, try using Versailles literature.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“凡尔赛文学”的来源和存在形式。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Known as humblebragging, it is a boast（吹牛）disguised as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate ” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off --- usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.（这被称为谦虚自夸，是一种伪装成抱怨的自夸。“我的房子太多了。我怎么决定要装饰哪一个呢 和“我以为今天早上我瘦了。”当我意识到是因为我把昨晚男朋友送给我的巨大钻石戒指摘下来的时候，我非常失望。”这些都是凡尔赛文学的例子。其目的是炫耀——通常是一些物质价值的东西，但人们应该假装这不是重点。）”可知，“凡尔赛文学”是指谦虚自夸，是一种伪装成抱怨的自夸，其目的是炫耀——通常是一些物质价值的东西。B项“Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.”（有五个人排着队想和我约会，我都不知道约哪个好）是典型的“凡尔赛文学”。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars.（根据学者们的研究，谦虚自夸背后的心理是为了在获得成功的同时得到别人的认可和喜欢）”可知，谦虚自夸背后的心理是为了赢得别人的钦佩。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文“that humblebragging is a “strategy in pursuit of respect”（ 谦虚自夸是一种“追求尊重的策略”）”可知，谦虚自夸是用自谦的方式来吹牛，是一种间接地表达优越感的方式。以及“because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way.”可知在这里circuitous表达“间接、绕弯”之意。A. roundabout迂回的；B. straightforward直接的；C. ambiguous模棱两可的；D. double-edged双刃剑(有利有弊)。可知A项roundabout“迂回的”符合本句语境。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中 “People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,”（人们不喜欢吹牛的人，但至少他们觉得这些人比谦虚自夸者更真诚。）”可知，A项“Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.”（吹牛的人要比谦虚自夸者更真诚）正确；第三段“nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility（没有什么比谦虚的外表更容易骗人的了）”对应B选项的“artificial appearance of being humble（谦虚的假象）”；最后一段“So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”（ 那么，我们该如何回应这些谦虚的吹牛者呢 一位网友建议道:“他们想炫耀的是什么，你就假装什么都不懂吧。”“并对他们的抱怨报以真诚的同情。”）”可知C项“To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.”（用真正的同情来回应会让谦虚的吹牛者泄气）正确；D项“If you want to be perceived positively, try using Versailles literature.”（如果你想被正面地看待，试着使用凡尔赛文学）从文中无法推出。故选D项。
第二节：七选五 （每小题2.5分,共 12.5分）
Learned optimism(乐观主义) is about developing the ability to view the world from a positive point of view.____16____ According to research, people who were more optimistic at age 25 were much healthier later between the ages of 45 and 60 than the pessimistic people. Optimistic people tend to live longer.____17____ When trying to lose weight, for example, optimists are more likely to focus on positive changes, which will help them reach their goals.
According to research, in addition to being partly hereditary(遗传的),optimism levels are also influenced by childhood experiences. Research suggests that it may be beneficial to teach kids optimism skills late enough in childhood, but before the arrival of puberty(青春期). ____18____ Teaching children such skills at their young ages might help them avoid psychological problems.
____19____ Now let’s use an example to show it：Imagine that you recently started a new exercise plan but you’re having trouble sticking with it. Then write down the thoughts running through your mind. You might think things like “Maybe I’m not strong enough to reach my goals.” Meanwhile, ask yourself, “Did such beliefs result in positive actions, or prevent me reaching my goals？” Then you may quickly realize that the negative beliefs make it more difficult to stick with your workout plan.____20____ And in this way, you’ll be left feeling more motivated.
A. There is an effective approach to becoming optimistic.
B. There are many benefits of becoming an optimistic person.
C. They don’t let it influence their beliefs about their abilities in other areas.
D. Optimists, on the other hand, expect that good things will happen to them.
E. Next, try to consider all of the times that you did successfully finish your workout.
F. This is because kids have skills to think about their own thoughts during this period.
G. Additionally, optimism can also help you maintain motivation when pursuing goals.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了乐观的好处和变得乐观的方法。
【16题详解】
下文“Optimistic people tend to live longer. (乐观的人往往更长寿)”和“optimists are more likely to focus on positive changes, which will help them reach their goals. (乐观主义者更有可能专注于积极的改变，这将帮助他们实现目标) ”例举了乐观主义的好处，是对B项“There are many benefits of becoming an optimistic person.(做一个乐观的人有很多好处)”中“benefits”一词的举例说明，上下文构成总分关系。故选B项。
【17题详解】
由下文“When trying to lose weight, for example, optimists are more likely to focus on positive changes, which will help them reach their goals.(例如，当试图减肥时，乐观主义者更倾向于关注积极的变化，这将帮助他们实现目标)”中“for example ”和句意可知，句中举例说明乐观有助于帮助我们实现目标，G项“Additionally, optimism can also help you maintain motivation when pursuing goals.(此外，乐观还能帮助你在追求目标时保持动力)”表达了同样意思，其中“pursuing goals ”与下文中“reach their goals”相照应。且呼应上文，讲述了乐观的又一好处。故选G项。
【18题详解】
上文“Research suggests that it may be beneficial to teach kids optimism skills late enough in childhood, but before the arrival of puberty(研究表明在青春期到来之前的儿童时期，向孩子传授乐观技能可能是有益的)”提到要在特定时期向孩子传授乐观技能，F 项“This is because kids have skills to think about their own thoughts during this period. (这是因为孩子们在这个时期有思考自己想法的技能)”解释了原因，与上文构成因果关系，句中“this period”与上文“late enough in childhood, but before the arrival of puberty”构成指代关系。故选F项。
【19题详解】
设空句是段首句，由其后“Now let’s use an example to show it (现在让我们用一个例子来说明)”一句可推知，设空句是需要下文举例说明的一件事情。下文例举了在面对困境时，我们可以通过分析自己的态度，从而知道消极想法只会让情况更糟，而乐观的态度会让我们坚持下去，这样我们就能选择乐观。由此推知，本段要举例说明的变得乐观的办法。A项“There is an effective approach to becoming optimistic.(有一个变得乐观的有效方法)”正是段首中心句。故选A项。
【20题详解】
由下文“And in this way, you’ll be left feeling more motivated.(这样，你会感到更有动力)”可知，上文中应出现this way的指代对象，再根据“you’ll be left feeling more motivated”可知这一指代对象能让人更有动力，受到鼓舞。D 项“Optimists, on the other hand, expect that good things will happen to them.(另一方面，乐观主义者期望好事会发生在他们身上)”中，对未来美好的预期可以给人以鼓舞，使其更用动力，正是下文this way指代内容，同时其中“on the other hand”表明了与上文“the negative beliefs make it more difficult to stick with your workout plan.(消极的信念会让你更难坚持锻炼计划)”的对比关系。故选D项。

When we decided to go back, we were shocked to find that the rock had almost been covered by water and there was no way back to the shore. Meanwhile, the wind blew harder and harder. We got into a panic, waving and shouting crazily towards the shore. Suddenly, I slipped（滑）and fell into the sea. My sister stretched out her hand to catch hold of me. However, she could not stay still, and slid off the rock into the sea, too.
"Help! Help!" We cried. could feel my body tingling（酸麻）as I tried to breathe for air. I attempted to swim back to the rock, but the water was too deep and the waves were too strong. What made things worse was that the rough water made it almost impossible for anyone to hear our cries. Tears mixed with the water as I struggled in the sea. My sister, although using all her strength, wasn't able to pull me in. Instead, she was being pushed apart from me by the big waves. The two of us, scared to death, kept crying.

Eventually, they had no choice but to go back to the shore to look for other people to help us.
Fortunately, the two boys managed to find a lifeguard. Having learned what was happening, the lifeguard rushed fearlessly against the strong wind and huge waves. Such an experienced swimmer was he that he reached us in no time. He grabbed my arm and quickly carried me to the shore, where he left me taken care of by the two boys. Then, without delay, he returned to save my sister. We were so blessed to be alive and heartily thankful to that courageous lifeguard and the two boys who had saved our lives!

Signs posted up and down the school hallway didn’t let me forget: Snowball Dance-Next Friday Night! No one would be asking me, the junior high school outcast. My face was ruined, and my balance was off—I had seizures without warning. All these were making my middle school life miserable. I kept my head down as I hurried to the classroom.
I stepped into the office where my teacher Mrs Barrett waited. She learned that my grandmother had been teaching me to sew for years, but none of the other kids in the class knew it. Mrs Barrett called me up to her desk. “A lot of girls need help with changes on their dresses for the Snowball Dance. I thought you could help me after school, ” she said. “Sure,” I said. Together with Mrs Barrett, I sewed buttons, shortened some sleeves, and lengthened others.
Teresa, one of the most popular girls, came by to pick up her dress. “Roberta designed and sewed it by hand,” Mrs Barrett told her. “It’s fashionable! Thanks. You must have added this brilliant belt,” she said. “I tied ribbons to the end of a pearl necklace,” I said, looking down at my shabby shoes. Teresa didn’t get crowned at the dance, but her Snowball Dance dress was the talk of the school during the following week. Word quickly spread that I was actually good at something. Soon the girls were coming to me and Mrs Barrett for custom-made dresses. “We should organize a fashion show,” Mrs Barrett said one day. We asked the girls in the office and they all wanted to participate. We had a packed auditorium for the show.
“This fashion show was a great success, and better than any dance could be. I think we pushed back the boundaries of fashion, ” Mrs Barrett said after the fashion show.
Those weren’t the only boundaries we pushed back. Later, Mrs Barrett encouraged me to run for student body president. “The kids have known your talent, ” she said. And I was elected president of the grade. I must say it’s my luck to meet Mrs Barrett in my life.
4. What do we know about the author before receiving Mrs Barrett’s request
A. She was well liked by her classmates. B. She wasn’t interested in the dance at all.
C. She felt lonely, miserable and depressed. D. She was unlucky, sensitive, but optimistic.

C. She helped design her own dress. D. Teresa was the most popular girl.

A. her special talent B. her hard work
C. her friendly classmates D. her teacher Mrs Barrett

Could being a little overweight help you live longer A new international analysis (分析) shows a surprising answer: while obesity (肥胖) increases the risk of dying early, being slightly overweight reduces it. These studies included almost 3 million adults from around the world, yet the results were clearly the same, the authors of the analysis said.
“If you have a medical condition, your chances, of living are slightly better if you are a bit on the heavy side,” says study author Katherine Flegal, “Several factors may contribute to this finding.”
“Heavier people may tend to see the doctor earlier,” she says, “and may be more likely to be treated according to the doctor’s advice. Obesity itself may protect the heart, or someone who is heavier might be better able to fight against a shock to the system.”
For the study, Flegal’s team collected data on more than 2.88 million people included in 97 studies. The researchers looked at the participants’ (参与者) body mass index (BMI), a measure of body fat that takes into consideration a person’s height and weight.
The researchers found that, compared with people of normal weight, overweight people had a 6 percent lower risk of death. Obese people, however, had an 18 percent higher risk. For those who were the least obese, the risk of death was 5 percent lower than people of normal weight, but for those who were the most obese, the risk of death was 29 percent higher, the findings showed.
While the study found a relation between weight and the risk of early death, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Indeed, one expert warmed that body weight alone cannot tell health and the risk of death.
“There are other factors that play a role in health,” says Dr. William, a professor at Louisiana State University. “BMI simply is a parameter (参数); it doesn’t take family history, smoking, fitness, and other factors into consideration.”

A. Weight contributes to the risk of early death.

A competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature
Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic (贵族化的) life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging, it is a boast (吹牛) disguised as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate ” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off --- usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.
As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more deceitful (欺诈的) than the appearance of humility(谦逊).” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging published in Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a “strategy in pursuit of respect” because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way.
However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay Humblebragging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy, the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity. People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.
So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”
12. Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”
A. You know who my father is My father is Li Gang.
B. Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.
C. It’s a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.
D. I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
13. What is the psychology behind humblebragging
A. To win others’ sympathy. B. To earn others’ admiration.
C. To show his/her sincerity. D. To mask his/her complaint.
14. What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Indirect B. Comic. C. Obvious. D. Sharp.
15. What can’t be inferred from the passage
A. Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.
B. Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.
C. To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.
D. If you want to be perceived positively, try using Versailles literature.

I was born and grew up in a small seaside town. In my childhood, I often played on the beach with my elder sister, chasing（追逐）the waves and enjoying the seaside scenery.
One sunny summer afternoon, my sister and I were playing on a big rock quite a distance from the beach. We were so happy that we didn't notice the water rising. When we decided to go back, we were shocked to find that the rock had almost been covered by water and there was no way back to the shore. Meanwhile, the wind blew harder and harder. We got into a panic, waving and shouting crazily towards the shore. Suddenly, I slipped（滑）and fell into the sea. My sister stretched out her hand to catch hold of me. However, she could not stay still, and slid off the rock into the sea, too.
"Help! Help!" We cried. could feel my body tingling（酸麻）as I tried to breathe for air. I attempted to swim back to the rock, but the water was too deep and the waves were too strong. What made things worse was that the rough water made it almost impossible for anyone to hear our cries. Tears mixed with the water as I struggled in the sea. My sister, although using all her strength, wasn't able to pull me in. Instead, she was being pushed apart from me by the big waves. The two of us, scared to death, kept crying.
