To understand the impact of ice melting around the world,we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is. Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica and 656,000 square miles in Greenland, an ice sheet is a huge mass of glacial land. This ice, home to a group of diverse animals, is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds. Many of the creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting, hunting and protection,yet as the size decreases, they are forced out of their natural habitats in search of other land on which to live. Often this means long, drawn-out journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem arises when different species are forced together onto the coast.
Since the 1990s, the caribou population has declined by 56 percent-climate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter and rainfall instead of snow, which freezes more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food. In the summer, permafrost melts and releases previously trapped diseases which the caribous have no modern immunity to.
In addition, the coming threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is ever looming. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, the sea level would rise around 6 metres, and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea levels would rise by around 20 feet. Since 1880, sea levels have risen about eight inches, three of which we've gained over the last 25 years. This seemingly small amount has already caused dangerous flooding, loss of farmland and more deadly hurricanes.
While we're still a long way from losing the ice sheet all together, we've already lost too much, and if we don't take climate changes seriously now, we will surely hit the point of no return.
4. What does the author plan to do in Paragraph 1
A. To tell what an ice sheet actually is.
B. To show serious impacts of ice melting.
C. To compare the ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.
D. To introduce the practical ways of protecting the ice sheet.
5. Which of the following accurately explains the sharp decrease of the caribous
A. Food shortage. B. Deadly diseases. C. Much rainfall. D. Imbalanced ecosystem.
6. What does the underlined word “looming” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Lost to the world. B. Rising to the surface.
C. Exposed to the virus. D. Coming to the end.
7. What can be the best title for the article
A. Warning of the Climate Changes B. Risks of the Ice Melting
C. Cause of the Climate Changes D. Possibilities of the Ice Melting
C
September is upon us, which means one thing for parents and children alike: term time. Many will be excited to engage in-person, after months of remote learning. Unfortunately,this won't apply to everyone. It's alarming that an estimated 540,000 children will continue to stay at home, due to mental or physical health concerns directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病）．For those that aren't able to attend classes in person, maintaining some form of connection with their peers is vitally important, both to protect their educational development and to prevent them from becoming isolated(孤独）。
No Isolation, a company that specializes in understanding and reducing the impact of loneliness, has decided to take action. Throughout the summer, No Isolation worked with independent researcher,Henry Peck, to better understand the effect of lockdown on educational and emotional development in school-aged children. They collected responses from some primary and middle school students and found that about 1,320 children, or more than 75% of the surveyed, were more or less lonely during the lockdown.
There is no immediate “fix" for loneliness, but there are steps to be taken to help.Parents need to open up a dialogue around what loneliness is, and what it feels like, so as to stress that feeling lonely is completely normal and a topic that is safe to talk about. For adults, loneliness is a shame, which means that often they are not open enough about it with each other, let alone with their children. Parents need to break the taboo around loneliness by talking and encouraging children to share their emotions.They also need to learn to ask for help. Sometimes these emotions need to be talked through with family or with a professional. Now, more than ever, parents should be listening to children and helping to make sure they are heard when they feel lonely. They are facing the same pandemic,and they deserve all of the help and support they can get.
8. What may prevent many young people returning to school in the coming new term
A. The interrupted connection with their peers.
B. The continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
C. The benefits of remote learning they have ever received.
D. The physical and mental impact of the pandemic on them.
9. What do the numbers in Paragraph 2 imply
A. A bad effect of loneliness.
B. The large number of students in the UK.
C. A worrying common phenomenon.
D. The convincing accuracy of the survey.
10. How can parents help children understand that loneliness is normal
A. By making sure their children feel safe at home.
B. By receiving education on what loneliness actually is.
C. By talking about the nature of loneliness with their children.
D. By opening up a dialogue about their struggle with children.
11. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Serious consequences of loneliness.
B. Effective ways of dealing with loneliness.
C. Possible ways of breaking the taboo.
D. Great significance of social emotion sharing.
D
World history has seen three ancient dramas: Greek tragedy and comedy; Indian Sanskrit drama; and Chinese opera. The first two have become historical and only Chinese opera has survived.
Chinese opera took shape in the 12th century. After developing for more than 800 years, its abundant local styles of opera are still enjoying great popularity, of which Qinqiang is one of the most ancient operas.
Qinqiang opera is a thousand-year-old local opera originating in China's inland northwestern region. It has established a unique tradition as an “opera shouted out" with its high-pitched arias(高音唱腔）。Li Mei has won a reputation as one of the four greatest Qinqiang actresses. She's also known for her passionate commitment to exploring the theatrical possibilities offered by Qinqiang.
Li Mei and her workmates are halfway through an afternoon rehearsal(排练）and most have broken into a sweat. Singing in a near-whisper, the forty-year-old opera star performs the stylized movements for the leading role-the bitter dead Lady Li Huiniang in Ghost's Hate.
Little wonder that Li Mei is such a powerful presence on stage. She's the greatest contributory actress who's able to interpret a character so persuasively and tell a story so convincingly that European audiences warmly hug this unfamiliar art form.
Li Mei said, “We performed this opera in the Netherlands to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of Holland's National Theatre. We enjoyed a fifteen-minute curtain call and the audiences applauded wildly for a long time. The local press entitled me the 'Nemesis of the Orient' and the 'Chinese Venus'. Why is that so Because they've fully understood what the opera implied－the loyalty towards love, and dead as she may be, her love persists. The reason why this opera was able to touch millions of hearts is that it has a beautiful story presented by a beautiful art form.”
12. What can be inferred about Chinese opera from the passage
A. It made history with ancient Greek operas.
B. It consists of various dynamic local operas.
C. It has a history shorter than Indian Sanskrit drama.
D. It originated from the most ancient local Qinqiang opera.
13. What is the greatest feature of Qinqiang opera according to the passage
A. The spirited high tone.
B. The northwestern origin.
C. The stylized movement.
D. The popular curtain call.
14. Why is Ghost's Hate starring Li Mei loved by foreigners
A. Because its story is easy to be fully understood by foreigners.
B. Because its leading role Li Mei is famous as the “Chinese Venus”。
C. Because it conveys the popular message of loyalty towards love.
D. Because it is a perfect combination of touching plot and attractive form.
15. What is Li Mei's greatest contribution to Qinqiang opera
A. She won a reputation as one of the four greatest Qinqiang actresses.
B. She brought Li Huiniang,the bitter dead Lady in Ghost's Hate to life.
C. She explored many theatrical possibilities offered by Qinqiang opera.
D. She spread one of Chinese traditional cultures to the other side of the world.

My mother eyed me with suspicion. I dared not look at her. Knowing that I was late from school five days continuously, I could not offer an acceptable explanation. I knew she did not believe that I had extra classes every day and arrived home after 5 pm. However, realizing she had little choice but to believe in me, she told me that dinner was in the refrigerator. She had to rush for her night shift at the local clinic.
Ever since we lost our dad in an accident, my mother became the breadwinner. I was the eldest among the four siblings and it fell upon my shoulder to ensure that they could become responsible adults. Besides helping mother with the housework, I regularly coached them in their studies. Thankfully, never once had I had to raise my voice or force them to complete their homework. But all of us missed dad very much. He was a model father and husband.Life was cruelly taken away from him at a very young age of 42.
However, my mother managed to pull through and found a job at the clinic. It was very tough on someone like her who had never worked before in her life. But money was scarce and there were five mouths to feed. Dad did not leave much behind.He never suspected he would die so young.We stopped dining out and had our meals mostly at home. We basically lived from hand to mouth.That's when it dawned on me that I had to do my part for the family. I knew mother would not agree but I threw caution out of the window and managed to get a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant.I worked three hours a day and managed to bring home money so that my siblings and I could go out for occasional movies or meals. I was sure that mother suspected something. But she could not quite point the figure to the source of her suspicion.

One day,while I was busy serving the customers, I was shocked to see mother standing opposite the counter.

To understand the impact of ice melting around the world,we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is. Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica and 656,000 square miles in Greenland, an ice sheet is a huge mass of glacial land. This ice, home to a group of diverse animals, is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds. Many of the creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting, hunting and protection,yet as the size decreases, they are forced out of their natural habitats in search of other land on which to live. Often this means long, drawn-out journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem arises when different species are forced together onto the coast.
Since the 1990s, the caribou population has declined by 56 percent-climate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter and rainfall instead of snow, which freezes more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food. In the summer, permafrost melts and releases previously trapped diseases which the caribous have no modern immunity to.
In addition, the coming threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is ever looming. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, the sea level would rise around 6 metres, and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea levels would rise by around 20 feet. Since 1880, sea levels have risen about eight inches, three of which we've gained over the last 25 years. This seemingly small amount has already caused dangerous flooding, loss of farmland and more deadly hurricanes.
While we're still a long way from losing the ice sheet all together, we've already lost too much, and if we don't take climate changes seriously now, we will surely hit the point of no return.
4. What does the author plan to do in Paragraph 1
A. To tell what an ice sheet actually is.
B. To show serious impacts of ice melting.
C. To compare the ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.
D. To introduce the practical ways of protecting the ice sheet.
5. Which of the following accurately explains the sharp decrease of the caribous
A. Food shortage. B. Deadly diseases. C. Much rainfall. D. Imbalanced ecosystem.
6. What does the underlined word “looming” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Lost to the world. B. Rising to the surface.
C. Exposed to the virus. D. Coming to the end.
7. What can be the best title for the article
A. Warning of the Climate Changes B. Risks of the Ice Melting
C. Cause of the Climate Changes D. Possibilities of the Ice Melting
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。关于天气变化的警告，主要表现为冰川融化，造成的天气变化也导致了北美驯鹿的数量减少和海平面的上升，呼吁我们要重视起冰川融化这个问题，如果不引起重视，将面临不可扭转的局面。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“To understand the impact of ice melting around the world, we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is. Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica and 656,000 square miles in Greenland, an ice sheet is a huge mass of glacial land. This ice, home to a group of diverse animals, is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds. Many of the creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting, hunting and protection, yet as the size decreases, they are forced out of their natural habitats in search of other land on which to live. Often this means long, drawn-out journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem arises when different species are forced together onto the coast. (要了解全球冰融化的影响，我们首先要了解冰盖到底是什么。冰盖在南极洲覆盖540万平方英里，在格陵兰岛覆盖65.6万平方英里，冰盖是巨大的冰川陆地。这些冰是多种动物的家园，现在融化的速度已经无法维持目前的生命。许多生物依靠冰原作为休息、狩猎和保护的土地，然而随着冰原体积的减小，它们被迫离开它们的自然栖息地，寻找其他的土地生活。这通常意味着漫长的寻找食物的旅程，当不同的物种被迫一起来到海岸时，不平衡的生态系统就出现了)”可推知，作者在第一段想要表明冰融化的严重影响。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Since the 1990s, the caribou population has declined by 56 percent-climate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter and rainfall instead of snow, which freezes more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food.(自20世纪90年代以来，北美驯鹿的数量已经减少了56%——气候变化导致冬季气温升高，降水取代了降雪，导致脚下更容易结冰，使行走和寻找食物变得困难)”可知，生态系统的不平衡是导致北美驯鹿减少的原因。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“the coming threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is ever”（如果冰盖消失，海平面上升的威胁将永远不会消失）以及后文“If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, the sea level would rise around 6 metres, and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea levels would rise by around 20 feet.”（如果格陵兰冰盖融化，海平面将上升约6米，如果南极冰盖融化，海平面将上升约20英尺，）可见如果冰盖消失，海平面也将上升。故画线词意思是“水面上升”。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While we're still a long way from losing the ice sheet all together, we've already lost too much, and if we don't take climate changes seriously now, we will surely hit the point of no return.(虽然我们离全部失去冰盖还有很长的路要走，但我们已经失去了太多，如果我们现在不认真对待气候变化，我们肯定会陷入无法挽回的境地)”结合文章说明了关于天气变化的警告，主要表现为冰川融化，造成的天气变化也导致了北美驯鹿的数量减少和海平面的上升，呼吁我们要重视起冰川融化这个问题，如果不引起重视，将面临不可扭转的局面。可知，A选项“气候变化的警告”最符合文章标题。故选A。
C
September is upon us, which means one thing for parents and children alike: term time. Many will be excited to engage in-person, after months of remote learning. Unfortunately,this won't apply to everyone. It's alarming that an estimated 540,000 children will continue to stay at home, due to mental or physical health concerns directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病）．For those that aren't able to attend classes in person, maintaining some form of connection with their peers is vitally important, both to protect their educational development and to prevent them from becoming isolated(孤独）。
No Isolation, a company that specializes in understanding and reducing the impact of loneliness, has decided to take action. Throughout the summer, No Isolation worked with independent researcher,Henry Peck, to better understand the effect of lockdown on educational and emotional development in school-aged children. They collected responses from some primary and middle school students and found that about 1,320 children, or more than 75% of the surveyed, were more or less lonely during the lockdown.
There is no immediate “fix" for loneliness, but there are steps to be taken to help.Parents need to open up a dialogue around what loneliness is, and what it feels like, so as to stress that feeling lonely is completely normal and a topic that is safe to talk about. For adults, loneliness is a shame, which means that often they are not open enough about it with each other, let alone with their children. Parents need to break the taboo around loneliness by talking and encouraging children to share their emotions.They also need to learn to ask for help. Sometimes these emotions need to be talked through with family or with a professional. Now, more than ever, parents should be listening to children and helping to make sure they are heard when they feel lonely. They are facing the same pandemic,and they deserve all of the help and support they can get.
8. What may prevent many young people returning to school in the coming new term
A. The interrupted connection with their peers.
B. The continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
C. The benefits of remote learning they have ever received.
D. The physical and mental impact of the pandemic on them.
9. What do the numbers in Paragraph 2 imply
A. A bad effect of loneliness.
B. The large number of students in the UK.
C. A worrying common phenomenon.
D. The convincing accuracy of the survey.
10. How can parents help children understand that loneliness is normal
A. By making sure their children feel safe at home.
B. By receiving education on what loneliness actually is.
C. By talking about the nature of loneliness with their children.
D. By opening up a dialogue about their struggle with children.
11. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Serious consequences of loneliness.
B. Effective ways of dealing with loneliness.
C. Possible ways of breaking the taboo.
D. Great significance of social emotion sharing.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B

World history has seen three ancient dramas: Greek tragedy and comedy; Indian Sanskrit drama; and Chinese opera. The first two have become historical and only Chinese opera has survived.
Chinese opera took shape in the 12th century. After developing for more than 800 years, its abundant local styles of opera are still enjoying great popularity, of which Qinqiang is one of the most ancient operas.
Qinqiang opera is a thousand-year-old local opera originating in China's inland northwestern region. It has established a unique tradition as an “opera shouted out" with its high-pitched arias(高音唱腔）。Li Mei has won a reputation as one of the four greatest Qinqiang actresses. She's also known for her passionate commitment to exploring the theatrical possibilities offered by Qinqiang.
Li Mei and her workmates are halfway through an afternoon rehearsal(排练）and most have broken into a sweat. Singing in a near-whisper, the forty-year-old opera star performs the stylized movements for the leading role-the bitter dead Lady Li Huiniang in Ghost's Hate.
Little wonder that Li Mei is such a powerful presence on stage. She's the greatest contributory actress who's able to interpret a character so persuasively and tell a story so convincingly that European audiences warmly hug this unfamiliar art form.
Li Mei said, “We performed this opera in the Netherlands to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of Holland's National Theatre. We enjoyed a fifteen-minute curtain call and the audiences applauded wildly for a long time. The local press entitled me the 'Nemesis of the Orient' and the 'Chinese Venus'. Why is that so Because they've fully understood what the opera implied－the loyalty towards love, and dead as she may be, her love persists. The reason why this opera was able to touch millions of hearts is that it has a beautiful story presented by a beautiful art form.”
12. What can be inferred about Chinese opera from the passage
A. It made history with ancient Greek operas.
B. It consists of various dynamic local operas.
C. It has a history shorter than Indian Sanskrit drama.
D. It originated from the most ancient local Qinqiang opera.
13. What is the greatest feature of Qinqiang opera according to the passage
A. The spirited high tone.
B. The northwestern origin.
C. The stylized movement.
D. The popular curtain call.
14. Why is Ghost's Hate starring Li Mei loved by foreigners
A. Because its story is easy to be fully understood by foreigners.
B. Because its leading role Li Mei is famous as the “Chinese Venus”。
C. Because it conveys the popular message of loyalty towards love.
D. Because it is a perfect combination of touching plot and attractive form.
15. What is Li Mei's greatest contribution to Qinqiang opera
A. She won a reputation as one of the four greatest Qinqiang actresses.
B. She brought Li Huiniang,the bitter dead Lady in Ghost's Hate to life.
C. She explored many theatrical possibilities offered by Qinqiang opera.
D. She spread one of Chinese traditional cultures to the other side of the world.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D

【14题详解】

【16题详解】
根据后文“We're taught from a very young age that when a teacher starts delivering a load of information, we should write down as much what they're saying as possible. This is rather an inefficient way to take notes.(从很小的时候起，我们就被教导，当老师开始传递大量的信息时，我们应该尽可能多地写下他们所说的内容。这是一种相当低效的记笔记的方法)”可知，后文提到尽可能多地写下老师所说的内容是一种相当低效的做笔记方式，可见大多数人不知道如何记笔记。故B选项“但不幸的是，大多数人不知道如何记笔记”符合语境，故选B。

When you do start writing, design your notes as a series of questions raised by the teacher's lecture, filling your own answers.(不要担心听不懂老师说的每一件事。花更多的时间听，努力理解演讲。当你开始写作时，把你的笔记设计成一系列老师讲课中提出的问题，填上你自己的答案)”可知，上文提到先要理解老师讲的话，然后用自己的话回答问题，可见本句是对上文的转述，指出记录老师的话的重要性，而不仅仅是原始事实。故G选项“这样，你记录的是老师说的话的重要性，而不仅仅是原始的事实”符合语境，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据后文“This will help you remember your notes visually. Write questions in red, definitions in blue, conclusions in green.(这将帮助你直观地记住你的笔记。用红色写问题，蓝色写定义，绿色写结论)”可知，本段的建议是使用彩色笔做笔记。后文“visually”和“red、blue、green”对应A选项中“colored pens”，故A选项“使用彩色笔”符合语境，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Spend at least ten minutes organizing your notes after class. Try teaching the materials to your classmate.(课后至少花十分钟整理你的笔记。试着把这些材料教给你的同学)”可知，上文提到把这些材料教给你的同学，可知本句承接上文，说明这一做法的作用。 故D选项“这将是一个很好的标记，看看你是否真的学到了什么”符合语境，故选D。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是中国各地的电力配给正在扩大。过去几天，包括江苏、浙江、云南和广东在内的10多个省份已经下令停电。
【36题详解】
考查现在完成时和主谓一致。句意：过去几天，包括江苏、浙江、云南和广东在内的10多个省份已经下令停电。由in the past days可知，句子时态用现在完成时，主语provinces是复数，因此空格处是have ordered，故填have ordered。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：这促使地方政府严格要求削减碳排放，以避免达不到减少碳排放的目标。空格处用副词strictly修饰动词order，故填strictly。
【38题详解】
考查不定式。句意：在浙江，160家能源密集型工厂被勒令停产，以达到能耗目标。根据语境可知，句子意为“160家能源密集型工厂被勒令停产，以达到能耗目标”，因此空格处用不定式to meet表目的，故填to meet。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：江苏的限电还迫使关键制造业的工厂减产甚至停产，直到月底。根据语境可知，句子表示“江苏的限电还迫使关键制造业的工厂减产甚至停产，直到月底”，空格处意为“直到”，是until/till，故填until/till。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：云南省取消了一些制造工厂的电价折扣，这使得电力成本比行业平均水平低了16- 22%。空格处引导定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词factories是物，因此空格处用关系代词that/which，故填that/which。
【41题详解】
考查比较级。句意：云南省取消了一些制造工厂的电价折扣，这使得电力成本比行业平均水平低了16- 22%。由than可知，空格处用比较级cheaper，故填cheaper。
【42题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：与此同时，创纪录的煤炭价格使得许多发电厂无法盈利，导致一些省份出现供应缺口。分析可知，句中谓语是are making，空格处用非谓语动词形式，record-high coal prices和create之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填creating。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：许多A股上市公司已经报告了对证券交易所的影响。A number of后跟名词的复数，因此空格处是复数companies，故填companies。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：但是，电力供应企业的股价在限电后出现了疯狂上涨。rise是可数名词，意为“（数字、 数量或价值的）增加”，此处表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，crazy是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：同样在香港，包括华润电力、中国电力投资和华能电力在内的能源行业的股价今天幸运地平均上涨了4.6%。are后用形容词作表语，luck的形容词是lucky，意为“幸运的”，故填lucky。

My mother eyed me with suspicion. I dared not look at her. Knowing that I was late from school five days continuously, I could not offer an acceptable explanation. I knew she did not believe that I had extra classes every day and arrived home after 5 pm. However, realizing she had little choice but to believe in me, she told me that dinner was in the refrigerator. She had to rush for her night shift at the local clinic.
Ever since we lost our dad in an accident, my mother became the breadwinner. I was the eldest among the four siblings and it fell upon my shoulder to ensure that they could become responsible adults. Besides helping mother with the housework, I regularly coached them in their studies. Thankfully, never once had I had to raise my voice or force them to complete their homework. But all of us missed dad very much. He was a model father and husband.Life was cruelly taken away from him at a very young age of 42.
However, my mother managed to pull through and found a job at the clinic. It was very tough on someone like her who had never worked before in her life. But money was scarce and there were five mouths to feed. Dad did not leave much behind.He never suspected he would die so young.We stopped dining out and had our meals mostly at home. We basically lived from hand to mouth.That's when it dawned on me that I had to do my part for the family. I knew mother would not agree but I threw caution out of the window and managed to get a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant.I worked three hours a day and managed to bring home money so that my siblings and I could go out for occasional movies or meals. I was sure that mother suspected something. But she could not quite point the figure to the source of her suspicion.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
One day, while I was busy serving the customers, I was shocked to see mother standing opposite the counter. So surprised was I that I dared not look into her eyes. She appeared shocked at the same time. I clumsily took her orders and saw her staggering to a table occupied by my siblings! My supervisor who saw my worried expression and who knew about my family situation quickly volunteered to take over my duties. Slowly,I removed my apron and joined my family.
Para 2:
Mother made me sit down. She was already crying, so were my siblings. She covered my hands with hers and told me that she was grateful for my help. I could not hold back my tears and hugged her. How guilt-ridden I was! I told mother that contributing financially to the family was the least I could to relieve her burden. To my great relief, my beloved mother understood my situation and reassured me everything would be alright. It was then that I came to realize that I should not have hidden such a big secret from her.
