Where do you find beauty Fashion Magazines Music Videos One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of “who” is beautiful.
Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (白化病) girl.
“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don’t see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So it was my initial intention that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.” Said Guidotti.
Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.
The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there’s somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.” said Waithera.
The documentary is the idea of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Rick’s photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Rick are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. “As I travel from community to community, I’m taking photographs and I’m encouraging individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They’re seeing beauty in their reflection but I’m also encouraging their families and they in turn are encouraging their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see, see how you change.”
4. For what reason did Rick change his career
A. He was intended to make a new documentary.
B. He was completely tired of being a photographer.
C. An albino girl changed his comprehension of beauty.
D. The beauty on covers of magazines is always changeable.
5. What can we know about Positive Exposure
A. It promotes awareness of beauty.
B. It brings a healthy profit for Rick
C. It makes documentary more popular.
D. It welcomes differences in the world.
6. What Jayne Waithera said conveys that________.
A. pictures of beauty were popular with people
B. what she experienced has shaped her life greatly
C. it was lucky for people to appreciate the real beauty
D. photographs gave people a positive sense of society

While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.
Why isn't complaining beneficial Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information at a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.
Yet the harmful effects don't stop there. A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马区), which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.
In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone(激素): cortisol, a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力).
The ill effects of our complaining aren't just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.
The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude (感恩). Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.
What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better all over Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.
8. What do Para 2-3 mainly talk about
A. The diseases caused by complaining.
B. The decrease of a vital part of our brain.
C. The bad effects of complaining on brain power.
D. The reason why certain thought patterns become habits.
9. What can we know about cortisol from the passage
A. Gratitude is an effective cure for cortisol.
B. Our body produce cortisol when we feel exited.
C. Cortisol is a chemical that can cause brain damage.
D. Having a high level of cortisol can lead to many health problems.
10. What attitude does the writer take to stubborn complainers
A. Grateful. B. Tolerant. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
11. Where can the passage most probably appear
A. In a newspaper. B. In a medical report. C. On a website. D. In a radio program.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力).”（持续高水平的皮质醇会导致高血压、高血糖和免疫力低下。）由此可知，皮质醇水平高会导致许多健康问题。故选D项。

Astronomers have found patches(斑块) of frost around the moon' s north and south poles which could one day provide a source of water for human visitors. The scientists spotted the signature of frozen water in infra -red(红外线的) measurements taken by Nasa' s moon mineralogy mapper, an instrument that flew on India's Chandrayaan-1 mission to the moon a decade ago. The freshly-analyzed data show that water ice lies low on the ground near the moon's polar regions that are permanently in shade and so sheltered from the heat of the sun' s rays.
Most of the ice was found near the moon' s south pole around a bunch of craters. In the north, the patches of ice appeared to be more separated, according to Shuai Li at the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology in Honolulu. Follow-up measurements of the ice patches found that they tended to form where the surface temperature never rose above -163 °C, but temperature alone was not enough to guarantee frozen water: only 3.5% of the shadowy areas the scientists checked for water revealed notable signs of ice.
The images are the first “direct and definitive evidence” of water ice that is exposed on the surface of the moon, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.“These ice deposits might be put to use as a local resource in future exploration of the moon,” the authors write.
The Indian Space Agency launched its Chandrayaan-l mission to the moon in 2008 and was swiftly rewarded with evidence of frozen water on the lunar surface a year later. Rather than sheets of ice on the surface, the water is thought to exist as water molecules(分子) bound to grains of moon dust.
Soon after the Indian feat, NASA crashed a spacecraft into the 100km-wide Cabeus crater which is in permanent shade on the moon s south pole. The intentional act of lunar violence threw up some pieces of soil from which scientists were able to confirm the presence of water on the moon.
12. What can we infer from paragraphs 1 and 2
A. Chandrayaan-l was rewarded with glory.
B. Frozen water is believed to have been found.
C. Astronauts spotted the signature of frozen water.
D. Humans enjoyed a leap in moon exploration.
13. Which of the following best explains “deposits” underlined in paragraph 3
A. Fund. B. Part of the cost
C. A natural accumulation. D. Money in a bank account.
14. When was water first detected on the moon
A. In 2008. B. In 2009.
C. In 2017. D. In 2018.
15. Why did NASA crash a spacecraft into the crater
A. To collect definitive evidence of water.
B. To make discoveries equal to the Indians'
C. To discover secrets of the moon 's dark side.
D. To separate water molecules from moon dust.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇科普说明文。人类在月球探险中有了一次飞跃。在2009年在月球上第一次发现水。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第一句Astronomers have found patches(斑块) of frost around the moon' s north and south poles which could one day provide a source of water for human visitors.“天文学家们在月球的南北两极周围发现了小块的霜冻，这些霜冻有一天可能会为人类游客提供水源。”和第二段第一句Most of the ice was found near the moon' s south pole around a bunch of craters.“大部分的冰是在月球南极附近的一些环形山附近发现的。”由此可知，人类在月球探险中有了一次飞跃。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句The images are the first “direct and definitive evidence” of water ice that is exposed on the surface of the moon, 这些图像是月球表面出现水冰的第一个“直接和明确的证据”，和第三段最后一句These ice deposits might be put to use as a local resource in future exploration of the moon“这些冰deposits可能被用来作为未来勘探月球的当地资源”。由此推知，划线词deposit的意思是“一个自然的积累”。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句The Indian Space Agency launched its Chandrayaan-l mission to the moon in 2008 and was swiftly rewarded with evidence of frozen water on the lunar surface a year later.“印度航天局于2008年发射了月球探测器“月船一号”，一年后，月球表面就出现了结冰的水。”由此可知，月球上第一次发现水是在2009年。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中The intentional act of lunar violence threw up some pieces of soil from which scientists were able to confirm the presence of water on the moon.“这一蓄意的月球暴力行为抛掷出了一些土壤碎片，科学家们由此得以证实月球上存在水。”由此可知，美国国家航空和宇宙航行局要把一艘宇宙飞船撞进火山口是为了收集水的确凿证据。故选A。
【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第4小题，根据最后一段中The intentional act of lunar violence threw up some pieces of soil from which scientists were able to confirm the presence of water on the moon.“这一蓄意的月球暴力行为抛掷出了一些土壤碎片，科学家们由此得以证实月球上存在水。”由此可知，美国国家航空和宇宙航行局要把一艘宇宙飞船撞进火山口是为了收集水的确凿证据。故选A。

Let's take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water.
___16___For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want，but this is not the case for many people around the world.___17___That's around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water，we can catch diseases from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500，000 children die from diarrhea(腹泻)from dirty water. That's around 1，400 children every day！Also，in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to get water.___18___Therefore，they don't have time to learn how to read or write and don't get an education.
___19___On this day every year，countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK，children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water.___20___People give them money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
A. We use water indirectly too.
B. Every system in our body depends on water to function.
C. It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems
D. If children walk many hours a day to get water，they can't go to school.
E. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink？
F. In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.
G. In this way，they know how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了水是我们生活中非常重要的能源，而世界上很多人并不像我们这样幸运能喝到干净的水。世界上大约有7.5亿人没有干净的水喝，每年有50多万儿童死于脏水引起的腹泻。就此联合国决定3月22日为世界水日，并在当天举办活动来教育人们关于脏水的问题，让人们知道清洁的水是全世界每个人都应该拥有的。
【16题详解】
根据下文For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.（例如，生产我们吃的食物的农民，使用水使植物生长。当我们打开电灯或电视或电脑的开关时，我们使用能源，我们需要水来产生这种能源）可知下文是在列举人们间接使用水的例子，故A选项“我们也间接地用水。”符合上下文语境，故选A。
【17题详解】
根据下文That's around one in 10 people in the world.（那大约是世界上十分之一的人）可推知本句为说明世界上没有干净水喝的人数。故E选项“你知道大约有7.5亿人没有干净的水喝吗 ”符合上下文语境，故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文Also，in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to get water.（而且，在一些国家，孩子们每天要走很多公里去取水）中walk many kilometres every day to get water可对应到D选项中walk many hours a day to get water，故D选项“如果孩子们每天走很多小时去取水，他们就不能去上学。”符合上下文语境，故选D。
【19题详解】
结合下文On this day every year，countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world.（每年的这一天，世界各国都会举办各种活动，让人们了解脏水的问题，让他们知道清洁的水是全世界每个人都应该拥有的）是在说明世界水日当天的活动，故可知本句为说明世界水日的设立时间，故F选项“1993年，联合国决定3月22日为世界水日。”符合上下文语境，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据前文At one school in the UK，children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water.（在英国的一所学校，10到15岁的孩子负重6升水来步行6公里）可推知本句承接上文继续说明这一做法的意义是让孩子们了解带着沉重的瓶子走很长的距离是什么感觉。故G选项“通过这种方式，他们知道带着沉重的瓶子走很长的距离是什么感觉。”符合上下文语境，故选G。
【点睛】七选五做题技巧。做题的时候边读边做。各个问题附近的句子都需要重点阅读，圈画一些线索，再从选项中寻找相关的特征词用来判断正确答案。带入排除法也是一种很好的方法。另外，如果发现有一题拿不准的，先跳过，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨、各个段落之间的逻辑关系应该基本就能清楚了。然后再回过去做之前不确定的题目。如第三小题，根据上文Also，in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to get water.（而且，在一些国家，孩子们每天要走很多公里去取水）中walk many kilometres every day to get water可对应到D选项中walk many hours a day to get water，故D选项“如果孩子们每天走很多小时去取水，他们就不能去上学。”符合上下文语境，故选D。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国女孩子在教育上扫盲的进步。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：13年来，共有1954名女学生从这所学校毕业，这是全国第一个也是唯一一个女学生。时间状语For the past 13 years意为“近13年来”，表示从过去开始持续到现在，符合现在完成时用法。故填have graduated。
【37题详解】

考查时态和语态。句意：1949年中华人民共和国成立时，女性的文盲率远远高于男性。根据时间状语in 1949可知，用一般过去时。这里的found是动词原形，意为“建立，成立”。因中华人民共和国是“被建立”的，用被动语态。故填was founded。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：20世纪50年代，中国政府发起教育运动，帮助1600万女性接受了教育。还原定语从句，则为The campaigns helped some 16 million females become educated. 因先行词为campaigns，指事物，所以用that/which引导定语从句，指代先行词campaigns，并在从句中作主语。故填that/which。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：根据政府帮助中国女性的指导意见，近几十年来，扫除文盲、提高女性阅读能力一直被视为中国的首要任务之一。与wiping out并列作主语，都用ing形式，在句中作主语。故填improving。
【43题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：2021年，中国在世界经济论坛发布的《全球性别差距报告》中得分为0.973(1分完全平等)。句中已有谓语动词scored，且与所填词之间没有连词，考虑填非谓语。因报告是“被发布”的，用过去分词作后置定语，表被动。故填released。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The young woman sat crying at one of the back tables of a small restaurant at a fuel service station, on a highway where truck drivers and traveller stopped. Two girls, perhaps four and five years old, watched their mother tensely.
I am a patrolman, which is a policeman who is assigned to patrol a specific route. I am with the Knox County, Tennessee, Sheriff’s Department, and was sent to check on the family after someone telephoned, concerned about the woman’s weeping. A flash of fear crossed the older child’s eyes as I approached her. “Daddy left us,” she said. “He just put our stuff out of the car while we were in the bathroom.”
“Is that so, little lady ” I said. “I want you two to climb on those stools over there and order something to eat.”
Reluctantly they crossed to the stools I called the waitress to take their order.
“Now, what’s the problem ” I asked the woman.
“Just what my girl said,” she replied, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. “ My husband is not cruel — just at the end of his rope. We have no money; we’re flat broke. He thought that we’d get more help alone than if he stayed.”
“Do you have family ”
“The nearest is in Chicago.”
We sat there discussing organisations and government agencies that could help her. When the waitress brought hot dogs and French fries to the little girls, I went to the counter and took out my wallet to pay.
“The owner says no charge,” the waitress said. “We know what’s going on.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

“Officer, excuse me,” a man said to me.

There was enough to buy bus tickets to Chicago and food along the way.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“ Officer, excuse me,” a man said to me. He was a big man in jeans, T-shirt and baseball cap standing by the counter. I noticed the restaurant was quiet; the customers, mostly long-distance truck drivers, sat staring in our direction.“Here,” he said, giving me a handful of paper money. “We all passed the hat, and made a contribution. There should be enough to get the woman and her girls on their way.” “I’m sure she’ll appreciate it,” I said. “Can I tell her your name ” “ No.” He raised his hands and backed away. “Tell her it was from people here with families of their own.”
There was enough to buy bus tickets to Chicago and food along the way. When I handed the money to the woman, she began to cry again. Moments later a couple with two children came to the table and offered words of comfort. I called the police station and told the officer who sent me out that the situation had been resolved. A police officer sees the worst in person most of the time. It is good to be reminded that kindness and love exist out there, even at a truck stop in East Tennessee.

Where do you find beauty Fashion Magazines Music Videos One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of “who” is beautiful.
Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (白化病) girl.
“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don’t see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So it was my initial intention that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.” Said Guidotti.
Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.
The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there’s somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.” said Waithera.
The documentary is the idea of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Rick’s photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Rick are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. “As I travel from community to community, I’m taking photographs and I’m encouraging individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They’re seeing beauty in their reflection but I’m also encouraging their families and they in turn are encouraging their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see, see how you change.”
4. For what reason did Rick change his career
A. He was intended to make a new documentary.
B. He was completely tired of being a photographer.
C. An albino girl changed his comprehension of beauty.
D. The beauty on covers of magazines is always changeable.
5. What can we know about Positive Exposure
A. It promotes awareness of beauty.
B. It brings a healthy profit for Rick
C. It makes documentary more popular.
D. It welcomes differences in the world.
6. What Jayne Waithera said conveys that________.
A. pictures of beauty were popular with people
B. what she experienced has shaped her life greatly
C. it was lucky for people to appreciate the real beauty
D. photographs gave people a positive sense of society
7. What words can best describe Rick Guidotti
A. Ambitious and committed. B. Hardworking and cautious.
C. Talented and independent. D. Determined and humorous.
C
While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.
Why isn't complaining beneficial Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information at a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.
Yet the harmful effects don't stop there. A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马区), which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.
In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone(激素): cortisol, a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力).
The ill effects of our complaining aren't just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.
The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude (感恩). Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.
What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better all over Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.
8. What do Para 2-3 mainly talk about
A. The diseases caused by complaining.
B. The decrease of a vital part of our brain.
C. The bad effects of complaining on brain power.
D. The reason why certain thought patterns become habits.
9. What can we know about cortisol from the passage
A. Gratitude is an effective cure for cortisol.
B. Our body produce cortisol when we feel exited.
C. Cortisol is a chemical that can cause brain damage.
D. Having a high level of cortisol can lead to many health problems.
10. What attitude does the writer take to stubborn complainers
A. Grateful. B. Tolerant. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
11. Where can the passage most probably appear
A. In a newspaper. B. In a medical report. C. On a website. D. In a radio program.
D
Astronomers have found patches(斑块) of frost around the moon' s north and south poles which could one day provide a source of water for human visitors. The scientists spotted the signature of frozen water in infra -red(红外线的) measurements taken by Nasa' s moon mineralogy mapper, an instrument that flew on India's Chandrayaan-1 mission to the moon a decade ago. The freshly-analyzed data show that water ice lies low on the ground near the moon's polar regions that are permanently in shade and so sheltered from the heat of the sun' s rays.
Most of the ice was found near the moon' s south pole around a bunch of craters. In the north, the patches of ice appeared to be more separated, according to Shuai Li at the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology in Honolulu. Follow-up measurements of the ice patches found that they tended to form where the surface temperature never rose above -163 °C, but temperature alone was not enough to guarantee frozen water: only 3.5% of the shadowy areas the scientists checked for water revealed notable signs of ice.
The images are the first “direct and definitive evidence” of water ice that is exposed on the surface of the moon, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.“These ice deposits might be put to use as a local resource in future exploration of the moon,” the authors write.
The Indian Space Agency launched its Chandrayaan-l mission to the moon in 2008 and was swiftly rewarded with evidence of frozen water on the lunar surface a year later. Rather than sheets of ice on the surface, the water is thought to exist as water molecules(分子) bound to grains of moon dust.
Soon after the Indian feat, NASA crashed a spacecraft into the 100km-wide Cabeus crater which is in permanent shade on the moon s south pole. The intentional act of lunar violence threw up some pieces of soil from which scientists were able to confirm the presence of water on the moon.

The young woman sat crying at one of the back tables of a small restaurant at a fuel service station, on a highway where truck drivers and traveller stopped. Two girls, perhaps four and five years old, watched their mother tensely.
I am a patrolman, which is a policeman who is assigned to patrol a specific route. I am with the Knox County, Tennessee, Sheriff’s Department, and was sent to check on the family after someone telephoned, concerned about the woman’s weeping. A flash of fear crossed the older child’s eyes as I approached her. “Daddy left us,” she said. “He just put our stuff out of the car while we were in the bathroom.”
“Is that so little lady ” I said. “I want you two to climb on those stools over there and order something to eat.”
Reluctantly they crossed to the stools. I called the waitress to take their order.
“Now, what’s the problem ” I asked the woman.
“Just what my girl said,” she replied, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. “ My husband is not cruel — just at the end of his rope. We have no money; we’re flat broke. He thought that we’d get more help alone than if he stayed.”
“Do you have family ”
“The nearest is in Chicago.”
We sat there discussing organisations and government agencies that could help her. When the waitress brought hot dogs and French fries to the little girls, I went to the counter and took out my wallet to pay.
“The owner says no charge,” the waitress said. “We know what’s going on.”
