With summer behind us and the fall and winter holidays just around the corner, now it seems as good a time as any to start planning the next family vacation. Instead of a beach break or ski getaway, a family cruise offers a convenient and cost-effective alternative winter vacation.

In a recent game of pickleball, my teammate and I were falling far behind other teams. It was her turn to serve. We were both standing behind the baseline, paddles(球拍) up in ready position, when she nodded at me and said, “In it to win it.”
“Really ” I looked at her, surprised by her use of a catchy expression that was new to me. My inner self was never ready to accept even the tiniest suggestion that we should be trying to win the game.
In my life off the pickleball court, I enjoy yoga, folk dancing—anything but games with winners and losers, and I always prefer to be a observer rather than a participant in the world of sports.
Then pickleball came along. Suddenly, I didn’t want to be an observer any longer. I wanted to be a player myself. Like many people, I was first drawn to the game simply as a safe COVID-19 activity. Playing outdoors with people in my neighborhood allowed me to break out of social isolation(隔离).
But my addiction to the game comes from the sport’s low barrier of entry. The equipment isn’t particularly expensive. It’s a relatively easy game to learn, and a participant doesn’t need to be especially strong, tall or fast. Little wonder that everyone can now be seen throwing a green, orange or yellow plastic ball with holes in it across a net.
Pickleball is the first game I’ve ever wanted to win. I think it’s because of the excitement I feel when I hit an unreturnable ball down the middle of the court and score a point. Participating in a sport myself rather than cheering for others provides real proof that I can still work hard to achieve goals.
So, I’ve made a long-term commitment to it. I am embracing the game as my pickleball buddies embrace me. I’d forgotten how much fun it is to socialize while, doing something active. In that playful space of the court, I am facing directly my fears of winning and losing. In the meantime, doing something outside of my comfort zone feels magical. Now I wonder what contests I might be brave enough to enter next.
4. Why was the author surprised by what her teammate said in the recent game
A. She thought her teammate was too weak. B. She hadn’t considered winning or losing.
C. She didn’t know what her teammate meant. D. She misunderstood the rules of the game.
5. What is the main reason for the author’s love for pickleball
A. It is what she is good at. B. It allows her to make new friends.
C. It is affordable and accessible. D. It has many health benefits.
6. How has the author benefited from playing pickleball
A. She has overcome her fears of competitive sports. B. She has realized her own limitations.
C. She has become a more energetic person. D. She has recognized her talents for sports.
7. What does the author plan to do
A. Become a professional athlete. B. Recommend pickleball to more friends.
C. Explore some extreme sports. D. Continue playing pickleball.
C
On April 18—the International Day for Monuments and Sites, China Daily’s digital employee Yuanxi and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes’ official virtual cartoon figure Jiayao together introduced an interactive digital platform that hosts a virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave(藏经洞) to the world.
The platform was developed jointly by the Dunhuang Academy and the Chinese tech firm Tencent. It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.
The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics dating from the 4th century to the 11th century unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.
On the platform, visitors can role-play and “time travel” to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program.
In the digital age, the model of “culture+technology” has been introduced to promote the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China’s precious cultural relics is now over 70 percent, according to the 2022 China Digital Collection Industry Research Report released by iResearch.
Institutions such as the Palace Museum have also started online digital services of their own. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology allows the public to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum’s WeChat mini program.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of cultural intellectual property(知识产权) by digital means. China Central Television has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer(神鹿) Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals(壁画). The public can see the divine deer on CCTV’s own digital platform.
Digital collections cater to the consumption habits of young people, who grow up in the information age. They not only protect the intellectual property of the collections but also bring the public closer to China’s “excellent traditional culture”, noted Dunhuang Art Institute.
Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to explore new forms for showing cultural relics and offer the public greater cultural experiences to develop Dunhuang culture.
8. What can visitors do on the interactive digital platform for the Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave
A. Play role-playing games set in ancient times.
B. Play video games featuring historical figures.
C. Talk to the designer of the digital Library Cave.
D. Design digital caves showing historical scenes.
9. What is the purpose of developing digital platforms for cultural institutions
A. To show the latest gaming technologies.
B. To help cultural institutions make a profit.
C. To promote the development of Chinese culture.
D. To encourage people to explore new forms of cultural relics.
10. Why does the article mention the Dunhuang divine deer Youyou
A. To stress the importance of digital collections.
B. To describe its popularity among young people.
C. To present how digital collections are developed.
D. To introduce a successful example of digital collections.
11 What does the underlined phrase “cater to” in the second-to-last paragraph most probably mean
A. Ignore. B. Satisfy.
C. Challenge. D. Change.
D
The imitation(模仿) game, as proposed by mathematician Alan Turing in his 1950 paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”, tasks a person and a computer, with answering questions from a third person or judge. The questioner must then tell which is human. This has come to be known as the Turing Test.
Turing proposed that if a machine could successfully imitate a person, then it had “artificial intelligence”. So what is artificial intelligence, and could you tell the difference between a person and AI
AI refers to the creation of intelligent machines that can think and act like human beings. These systems are designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing images and making decisions.
AI has come a long way in recent years and is now being used in a variety of industries, such as healthcare, finance and transportation. With advances in machine learning and natural language processing, AI is becoming increasingly advanced and is able to perform more difficult tasks with greater accuracy.
As a person, I believe that there is great possibility that AI can greatly improve our lives. However, as with any new technology, there are also concerns about the impact of AI on our society.
So what do you think of AI I asked ChatGPT to “tell me as humanly as possible what AI is,” and the previous three paragraphs are its answer. You are the judge, and I am the human respondent. Did you think my intro was AI What I know is that I am scared of AI.
Programs like ChatGPT use machine learning to create text in response to user input. This means the program learns from existing content to produce new content which can make it hard to tell original work from plagiarized(抄袭的) work.
Concerns of plagiarism and misinformation are increasing as programs like ChatGPT and other Al technologies use existing writing, art and knowledge to produce human-like work. This opens the door to numerous debates on the ethics (道德伦理) of AI and the information these programs are learning from. Are these sources accurate Is the machine learning algorithm(算法) committing theft
It is our job—that is, as humans—to keep AI in check and ensure its ethical development and usage. AI might not be ready to put an end to humanity, but it is still reasonable to be careful about its progress.
12. What is the purpose of the Turing Test according to the text
A. To test the intelligence of humans.
B. To judge the performance of AI systems.
C. To explore the possible applications of AI.
D. To determine the threat caused by AI to humans.
13. What are paragraphs 3-5 mainly about
A. AI’s applications. B. AI’s limitations.
C. AI’s self-description. D. AI’s development.
14. Why is it not clear whether AI’s works are original or plagiarized according to the text
A. They are based on existing human works. B. They are not as good as what humans create.
C. They are mostly writing and artwork D. The systems may give false information
15. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s development in the future
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Puzzled. D. Cautious

Kaycee always had a love for animals. Turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters—Kaycee loved them all. She had several pets growing up and was responsible for taking care of all of them. Despite her busy studies in high school, she even made time to volunteer at the nearest animal shelter. As soon as Kaycee got her driver’s license and a set of wheels, she would spend every weekend driving several miles to the outskirts(市郊) of Chicago to help walk the dogs and clean the cages.
For Kaycee these animals were in need of a loving and permanent home. In the chain-link fences of the shelter, no animal could feel truly at home. Still, Kaycee hoped that her actions would help give a sense of certainty and a source of love for these lonely creatures. Yet, as she would find out, the act of caring for animals may end up bringing light and warmth to your life as well.
One Saturday, while making her rounds at the animal shelter, Kaycee noticed a middle-aged man who was looking for a dog to adopt. After caring for so many dogs with rough pasts and a history of abusive(虐待的) treatment, Kaycee recognized a similar pain in the man’s eyes as he wandered through the halls of the shelter, almost in a daze(迷茫) himself.
After showing the man around for half an hour, Kaycee finally took him aside and asked, “Do you mind if I ask what’s wrong You seem to be in pain from something.”
Feeling surprised, the man chuckled (轻笑) embarrassedly and sighed. “You’re pretty bright for your age,” he said, “My wife ... She ... died a few months ago and I still haven’t gotten past it. I’m hoping that adopting a pet may help me to pick up the pieces(重整旗鼓).”
要求:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Kaycee felt a bit uneasy after hearing the man’s story, but she nodded and held his hand.

In a recent game of pickleball, my teammate and I were falling far behind other teams. It was her turn to serve. We were both standing behind the baseline, paddles(球拍) up in ready position, when she nodded at me and said, “In it to win it.”
“Really ” I looked at her, surprised by her use of a catchy expression that was new to me. My inner self was never ready to accept even the tiniest suggestion that we should be trying to win the game.
In my life off the pickleball court, I enjoy yoga, folk dancing—anything but games with winners and losers, and I always prefer to be a observer rather than a participant in the world of sports.
Then pickleball came along. Suddenly, I didn’t want to be an observer any longer. I wanted to be a player myself. Like many people, I was first drawn to the game simply as a safe COVID-19 activity. Playing outdoors with people in my neighborhood allowed me to break out of social isolation(隔离).
But my addiction to the game comes from the sport’s low barrier of entry. The equipment isn’t particularly expensive. It’s a relatively easy game to learn, and a participant doesn’t need to be especially strong, tall or fast. Little wonder that everyone can now be seen throwing a green, orange or yellow plastic ball with holes in it across a net.
Pickleball is the first game I’ve ever wanted to win. I think it’s because of the excitement I feel when I hit an unreturnable ball down the middle of the court and score a point. Participating in a sport myself rather than cheering for others provides real proof that I can still work hard to achieve goals.
So, I’ve made a long-term commitment to it. I am embracing the game as my pickleball buddies embrace me. I’d forgotten how much fun it is to socialize while, doing something active. In that playful space of the court, I am facing directly my fears of winning and losing. In the meantime, doing something outside of my comfort zone feels magical. Now I wonder what contests I might be brave enough to enter next.
4. Why was the author surprised by what her teammate said in the recent game
A. She thought her teammate was too weak. B. She hadn’t considered winning or losing.
C. She didn’t know what her teammate meant. D. She misunderstood the rules of the game.
5. What is the main reason for the author’s love for pickleball
A. It is what she is good at. B. It allows her to make new friends.
C. It is affordable and accessible. D. It has many health benefits.
6. How has the author benefited from playing pickleball
A. She has overcome her fears of competitive sports. B. She has realized her own limitations.
C. She has become a more energetic person. D. She has recognized her talents for sports.
7. What does the author plan to do

On April 18—the International Day for Monuments and Sites, China Daily’s digital employee Yuanxi and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes’ official virtual cartoon figure Jiayao together introduced an interactive digital platform that hosts a virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave(藏经洞) to the world.
The platform was developed jointly by the Dunhuang Academy and the Chinese tech firm Tencent. It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.
The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics dating from the 4th century to the 11th century unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.
On the platform, visitors can role-play and “time travel” to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program.
In the digital age, the model of “culture+technology” has been introduced to promote the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China’s precious cultural relics is now over 70 percent, according to the 2022 China Digital Collection Industry Research Report released by iResearch.
Institutions such as the Palace Museum have also started online digital services of their own. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology allows the public to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum’s WeChat mini program.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of cultural intellectual property(知识产权) by digital means. China Central Television has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer(神鹿) Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals(壁画). The public can see the divine deer on CCTV’s own digital platform.
Digital collections cater to the consumption habits of young people, who grow up in the information age. They not only protect the intellectual property of the collections but also bring the public closer to China’s “excellent traditional culture”, noted Dunhuang Art Institute.
Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to explore new forms for showing cultural relics and offer the public greater cultural experiences to develop Dunhuang culture.
8. What can visitors do on the interactive digital platform for the Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave
A. Play role-playing games set in ancient times.
B. Play video games featuring historical figures.
C. Talk to the designer of the digital Library Cave.
D. Design digital caves showing historical scenes.
9. What is the purpose of developing digital platforms for cultural institutions
A. To show the latest gaming technologies.
B. To help cultural institutions make a profit.
C. To promote the development of Chinese culture.
D. To encourage people to explore new forms of cultural relics.
10. Why does the article mention the Dunhuang divine deer Youyou
A. To stress the importance of digital collections.
B. To describe its popularity among young people.
C. To present how digital collections are developed.
D. To introduce a successful example of digital collections.
11. What does the underlined phrase “cater to” in the second-to-last paragraph most probably mean
A. Ignore. B. Satisfy.
C. Challenge. D. Change.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“On the platform, visitors can role-play and ‘time travel’ to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures.(在该平台上,访客可以进行角色扮演和‘穿越’到古代王朝,并与八位历史人物交谈)”可知,在该平台上访客可以在以古代为背景的游戏中进行角色扮演。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In the digital age, the model of ‘culture+technology’ has been adopted to promote the development of Chinese culture.(在数字时代,‘文化+技术’的模式被采用,以促进中国文化的发展)”可知,发展数字平台的目标是推动中国文化发展,故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of cultural intellectual property(知识产权) by digital means. China Central Television has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer(神鹿) Youyou.(文化和旅游部还鼓励通过数字化手段开发和转化文化知识产权。中国中央电视台制作了一系列不同敦煌主题的数字藏品,如敦煌神鹿呦呦)”可知,文化和旅游部鼓励用数字化手段开发和转化文化知识产权,并列举了神鹿呦呦这一敦煌主题的数字藏品,由此可推测出,这里是为了介绍一个成功的数字藏品案例,故选D。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。倒数第二段中“They not only protect the intellectual property of the collections but also bring the public closer to China’s ‘excellent traditional culture’, noted Dunhuang Art Institute.(敦煌艺术研究院指出,它们不仅保护了藏品的知识产权,还让公众更接近中国的‘优秀传统文化’。)”提到了数字藏品不仅保护了藏品的知识产权,还拉近了公众与中国“优秀传统文化”的距离,说明数字藏品受到大众的喜欢,而数字化的东西尤其受在信息时代长大的年轻人喜欢,结合常识可推知,这里应该指的是数字收藏品迎合了年轻人的消费习惯,cater to指的是“迎合,投合,满足……的需要”。故选B。
D
The imitation(模仿) game, as proposed by mathematician Alan Turing in his 1950 paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”, tasks a person and a computer, with answering questions from a third person or judge. The questioner must then tell which is human. This has come to be known as the Turing Test.
Turing proposed that if a machine could successfully imitate a person, then it had “artificial intelligence”. So what is artificial intelligence, and could you tell the difference between a person and AI
AI refers to the creation of intelligent machines that can think and act like human beings. These systems are designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing images and making decisions.
AI has come a long way in recent years and is now being used in a variety of industries, such as healthcare, finance and transportation. With advances in machine learning and natural language processing, AI is becoming increasingly advanced and is able to perform more difficult tasks with greater accuracy.
As a person, I believe that there is great possibility that AI can greatly improve our lives. However, as with any new technology, there are also concerns about the impact of AI on our society.
So what do you think of AI I asked ChatGPT to “tell me as humanly as possible what AI is,” and the previous three paragraphs are its answer. You are the judge, and I am the human respondent. Did you think my intro was AI What I know is that I am scared of AI.
Programs like ChatGPT use machine learning to create text in response to user input. This means the program learns from existing content to produce new content which can make it hard to tell original work from plagiarized(抄袭的) work.
Concerns of plagiarism and misinformation are increasing as programs like ChatGPT and other Al technologies use existing writing, art and knowledge to produce human-like work. This opens the door to numerous debates on the ethics (道德伦理) of AI and the information these programs are learning from. Are these sources accurate Is the machine learning algorithm(算法) committing theft
It is our job—that is, as humans—to keep AI in check and ensure its ethical development and usage. AI might not be ready to put an end to humanity, but it is still reasonable to be careful about its progress.
12. What is the purpose of the Turing Test according to the text
A. To test the intelligence of humans.
B. To judge the performance of AI systems.
C. To explore the possible applications of AI.
D. To determine the threat caused by AI to humans.
13 What are paragraphs 3-5 mainly about
A. AI’s applications. B. AI’s limitations.
C. AI’s self-description. D. AI’s development.
14. Why is it not clear whether AI’s works are original or plagiarized according to the text
A. They are based on existing human works. B. They are not as good as what humans create.
C. They are mostly writing and artwork D. The systems may give false information
15. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s development in the future
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Puzzled. D. Cautious
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

This has come to be known as the Turing Test.(模仿游戏是数学家艾伦·图灵在1950年的论文《计算机器与智能》中提出的,它要求一个人和一台计算机回答第三人或评判员提出的问题。提问者必须说出哪个是人类。这就是众所周知的图灵测试)”以及后文“Turing proposed that if a machine could successfully imitate a person, then it had “artificial intelligence”. So what is artificial intelligence, and could you tell the difference between a person and AI (图灵提出,如果一台机器能够成功地模仿人,那么它就有了“人工智能”。那么什么是人工智能,你能分辨出人和人工智能之间的区别吗?)”可知,其目的是通过评估机器的表现判断其是否具有人工智能,故选B。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is our job—that is, as humans—to keep AI in check and ensure its ethical development and usage. AI might not be ready to put an end to humanity, but it is still reasonable to be careful about its progress.(这是我们的工作,也就是说,作为人类,控制人工智能并确保其道德发展和使用。人工智能可能还没有准备好终结人类,但对它的进展保持谨慎仍然是合理的)”可知,作者对于AI的发展持谨慎的态度,他认为我们需要小心AI的进步,确保AI的发展和使用符合伦理道德,故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国冰茶掀起了新的消费潮流。
【36题详解】
考查主谓一致、时态和语态。句意:茶是提前泡好的,装在透明的玻璃瓶里,配上新鲜水果、冰果冻和冰水果汤团。根据上下文,这里是在陈述制作方法,表示客观事实,应用一般现在时。主语为The tea,为第三人称单数,且和make之间是动宾关系,所以应用被动语态,且be动词应用is。故填is made。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:当水倒在干冰上时,雾蒙蒙的气氛立刻蔓延开来,使其成为夏季消费者的完美选择。空处应用副词,修饰动词spreads。instantly意为“立刻,立即”。故填instantly。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:截至5月3日,这段中国冰茶制作视频获得了抖音用户380多万个赞,在生活方式分享平台小红书上的观看次数为158万次。on...platform为固定搭配,意为“在……平台上”。故填on。
【39题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:此外,由于干冰制造的雾蒙蒙氛围不会持续太久,商家应该考虑如何弥补用户体验。分析句子结构,空处应用非谓语动词,逻辑主语the misty atmosphere和create之间是动宾关系,所以应用过去分词,作后置定语。故填created。
【40题详解】
考查疑问词。句意参考上题。分析句子结构,这里考查“疑问词+to do”结构,作consider宾语。根据句意,这里表示如何弥补用户体验,表示方式,应用how“如何,怎样”。故填how。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:市场信息提供商卡门俱乐部的分析师徐然说。根据空前的an,这里应用名词。analyst意为“分析者”,为可数名词。故填analyst。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她说,冰茶供应商可以考虑增加电炉的使用,这样消费者就可以在薄雾消散后煮果茶,并提供美味的小吃来留住消费者。根据use后的“of electric stoves”可知,这里表示特指,应用冠词。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意参考上题。根据句意并分析句子结构,can boil...和offer...之间是并列关系,应用and连接并列的谓语。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:中国冰茶的流行反映了消费者对情感价值的需求。根据空后的value,这里应用形容词,作定语。emotional意为“情感的,情绪的”。故填emotional。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意:商户应抓住机遇,为可持续发展提供优质产品和服务。根据句意,这里表示目的,应用不定式。故填to offer。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Kaycee always had a love for animals. Turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters—Kaycee loved them all. She had several pets growing up and was responsible for taking care of all of them. Despite her busy studies in high school, she even made time to volunteer at the nearest animal shelter. As soon as Kaycee got her driver’s license and a set of wheels, she would spend every weekend driving several miles to the outskirts(市郊) of Chicago to help walk the dogs and clean the cages.
For Kaycee, these animals were in need of a loving and permanent home. In the chain-link fences of the shelter, no animal could feel truly at home. Still, Kaycee hoped that her actions would help give a sense of certainty and a source of love for these lonely creatures. Yet, as she would find out, the act of caring for animals may end up bringing light and warmth to your life as well.
One Saturday, while making her rounds at the animal shelter, Kaycee noticed a middle-aged man who was looking for a dog to adopt. After caring for so many dogs with rough pasts and a history of abusive(虐待的) treatment, Kaycee recognized a similar pain in the man’s eyes as he wandered through the halls of the shelter, almost in a daze(迷茫) himself.
After showing the man around for half an hour, Kaycee finally took him aside and asked, “Do you mind if I ask what’s wrong You seem to be in pain from something.”
Feeling surprised, the man chuckled (轻笑) embarrassedly and sighed. “You’re pretty bright for your age,” he said, “My wife ... She ... died a few months ago and I still haven’t gotten past it. I’m hoping that adopting a pet may help me to pick up the pieces(重整旗鼓).”
要求:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Kaycee felt a bit uneasy after hearing the man’s story, but she nodded and held his hand.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
At last, they came to a cage with a brown corgi(柯基犬) inside.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Kaycee felt a bit uneasy after hearing the man’s story, but she nodded and held his hand. “I believe you could make it,” she encouraged him, beaming a warm smile. Guiding the man to the cages, Kaycee asked him what kind of dog he’d like to adopt. Confused and dazed, the man stuttered, unable to give a name. Sighing deeply, he confessed that he was not the one who was interested in dogs, but his wife. Realizing the pain hidden under his tearful eyes, Kaycee comforted him with patience, leading him to pick from one dog to another while explaining every dog in details. Yet the gloomy cloud still hanging over his head, all efforts went in vain.
At last, they came to a cage with a brown corgi inside. With great hope, Kaycee introduced this corgi, who was abused and then abandoned with only three legs and one eye left. Despite his disability, he is the most optimistic one. Noticing their visits, the corgi wagged his tail merrily, staring at the man with his big bright eye. Struck by the short eye-contact and its stories, the man made an immediate decision to adopt the corgi. Surprised and delighted, Kaycee nodded her head in relief. After signing related documents, Kaycee eyed them disappear at the gate. Caring for animals could bring light and warmth to both animals and human, she thought.
