Unbelievable Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans
Horses are picky eaters
Horses have an even better sense of smell than humans do. When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils (鼻孔), their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can’t sense. This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows, eating only the tastiest grasses, experts say.
Whale says thanks
In 2018, a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour freeing it. Afterward, in an hour-long display of thanks, the whale swam near their boat and leaped into the air about 40 times.
Pandas like to be naughty
Is there anything more lovely than a baby panda, except maybe a human baby In fact, baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies. They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs. Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw or ducking its head when confronted by a stranger.
A cat honors its owner
Paper towels, and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo, a devoted three-year-old gray-and-white cat, has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo’s grave every day since the man died in September 2018. Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old, and the two formed an inseparable bond. After Renzo passed away, Toldo followed the coffin to the cemetery, and now “stands guard” the grave for hours at a time.

A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don't laugh, it's true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression , caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained."We don't get sick or stay well by ourselves," says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research.
The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected (影响) may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.
Ferrer's research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored (忽视) or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits , Ferrer said.
4. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class
A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.
B. Because her parents used to quarrel.
C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.
D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
5. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.
C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, life style and environment.
D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.
6. The underlined word "coma" in Paragraph2 probably means ________.
A. embarrassment B. faint C. tiredness D. sadness
7. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Family relations. B. The reasons why we get sick.
C. Happy family makes you healthy. D. A research about teenagers' health.
C
By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohi o State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
8. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people should eat more vegetables
B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us
D. how much vegetables one should eat
9. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. be in need of lycopene D. hate eating tomatoes
10. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown
B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared
D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
11. From the last paragraph, we can know ________.
A. It’s better to cook vegetables with fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. It’s better to cook the vegetables without salt
D the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables
D
People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over the counter medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治疗) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.
So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it's easy to believe it's medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.
It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figure out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.
The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒) A and B. But they didn't find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against rhinovirus C.
''This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinoviruses,'' study leader Professor Ann C. Palmenberg at the University of Wiscons in Madison, US, told Science Daily.
Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly detailed 3D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.
With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don't really work.
12. What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold
A They are quite effective. B. They are slightly helpful.
C. They actually have no effect. D. They still need to be improved.
13 How do antiviral drugs work
A. By breaking up cold viruses directly.
B. By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.
C. By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.
D. By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.
14. What can we infer from the passage
A. The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.
B. Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.
C. Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.
D. Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.
15. What is the best title for this passage
A. Drugs against cold viruses B. Helpful home remedies
C. No current cure for common cold D. Research on cold viruses

Holly was confused as she opened the birthday present from her best friend. Susan — it was a twelve-by-eight inch dark blue carpet. Her “thanks” was hardly heard as Holly tried hard not to show her disappointment.
The next morning. I carried a kitchen rubbish bag outside only to find Susan’s carpet lying there. I immediately reached in and pulled it out of the rubbish can. After giving it a brushing. I brought it into the house and put it away.
Before Holly’s birthday, Susan had been a regular visitor in our home. But suddenly I realized that it had been nearly three weeks since we’d heard the mention of Susan’s name. I missed her warm smile very much.
“Susan invited us to go to her house after school tomorrow. “Holly said as soon as she arrived from school. From her voice I sensed she was pleased with the invitation.
We were traveling along the winding country road that led to her house the following day. On the way Susan talked nervously about her foster mom and the seventeen cats they had taken in and cared for.
When we came to a stop, Susan’s foster mom — who introduced herself as Glenda — gave us a warm welcome. Susan guided us through the house. She proudly showed us her room, which was only decorated with some shabby used furniture.
I followed Susan’s foster mom, Glenda, into the kitchen. After clearing a small area, Glenda poured us each a cup of black coffee with her trembling hand. Then she began to relax as we drank our coffee and chatted about her cats.
Her eyes shone as she showed her fondness for Susan. But her expression turned blue when she referred to the girl’s past In an instant, I came to respect this warmhearted woman who had opened her home to a younger girl and tied hard to make a difference in her life.

A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don't laugh, it's true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression , caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained."We don't get sick or stay well by ourselves," says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research.
The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected (影响) may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.
Ferrer's research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored (忽视) or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits , Ferrer said.
4. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class
A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.
B. Because her parents used to quarrel.
C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.
D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
5. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.
C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, life style and environment.
D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.
6. The underlined word "coma" in Paragraph2 probably means ________.

By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohi o State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
8. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people should eat more vegetables
B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us
D. how much vegetables one should eat
9. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. be in need of lycopene D. hate eating tomatoes
10. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown
B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared
D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
11. From the last paragraph, we can know ________.
A. It’s better to cook vegetables with fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. It’s better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是决定蔬菜食用效果的一些影响因素以及推荐食用蔬菜的方法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.(到目前为止，大多数人都知道他们应该多吃蔬菜。但是有没有办法从你已经吃过的蔬菜中获得更多呢？一项研究表明，当涉及到蔬菜时，不仅是我们吃了多少，还有我们如何准备它们，这决定了维生素和其他营养物质进入我们的身体)”及文章最后一段“When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients.(当蔬菜与脂肪一起烹饪时，食客可以获得更多的营养)”可知文章说明了决定蔬菜食用效果的一些影响因素，和推荐食用蔬菜的方法。由此可推知，作者主要想告诉我们，人们食用蔬菜的方式很重要。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables.(研究人员发现，198名吃生食的德国人缺乏番茄红素，这种物质存在于西红柿和其他红色蔬菜中)”可知，长期吃生蔬菜的人需要番茄红素。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.(一项研究表明，说到蔬菜，不仅要看我们吃多少，还要看我们如何准备蔬菜，这决定了进入我们体内的维生素和其他营养物质)”可知蔬菜的制作方法将决定蔬菜是否对人有益；第三段“A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought.(有很多因素决定了这些蔬菜在进入餐桌前对人们的健康有什么好处，包括它们在被购买之前的生长地点和储存方式)”可知蔬菜生长的地方和蔬菜储存的方式都能影响蔬菜的食用效果，文章没有提到蔬菜的价格问题，由此可知D选项“the price at which the vegetable are sold(蔬菜的售价)”不属于影响因素。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients.(当蔬菜与脂肪一起烹饪时，食客可以获得更多的营养)”可知当蔬菜和植物油一起烹饪时，就餐者可以获得更多的营养。由此可知，蔬菜最好和植物油一起煮。故选A项。

People have different ways of dealing with a common cold Some take over the counter medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治疗) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.
So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it's easy to believe it's medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.
It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figure out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.
The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒) A and B. But they didn't find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against rhinovirus C.
''This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinoviruses,'' study leader Professor Ann C. Palmenberg at the University of Wiscons in Madison, US, told Science Daily.
Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly detailed 3D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.
With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don't really work.
12. What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold
A. They are quite effective. B. They are slightly helpful.
C. They actually have no effect. D. They still need to be improved.
13. How do antiviral drugs work
A. By breaking up cold viruses directly.
B. By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.
C. By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.
D. By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.
14. What can we infer from the passage
A. The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.
B. Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.
C. Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.
D. Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.
15. What is the best title for this passage
A. Drugs against cold viruses B. Helpful home remedies
C. No current cure for common cold D. Research on cold viruses
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了目前没有真正能治愈普通感冒的事实，解释了其科学原因，并且介绍了一种可能真正治愈普通感冒的模型。也许，人们很快就会有治愈感冒的方法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.”可知，然而，关于普通感冒有一个残酷的事实：没有什么方法能真正治愈它。由此推测，作者认为普通感冒的流行疗法没有效果。C. They actually have no effect.(它们实际上没有什么效果)符合以上推测，故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus．” 可知，它们通过附着和改变病毒的表面结构来攻击病毒。由此可知，抗病毒药物通过改变感冒病毒的表面结构起作用。B. By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.(通过改变感冒病毒的表面结构)符合以上说法，故选B项。
14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw (拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.”可知，要做到这一点，这种药物必须像拼图游戏的正确部分一样与病毒相匹配并锁定病毒，这意味着科学家必须先识别病毒并建立一个三维模型来研究它的表面，然后才能设计出足够有效的抗病毒药物。由此可知，了解感冒病毒的结构是开发有效治疗方法的关键。D. Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.(了解感冒病毒的结构是开发有效治愈方法的关键)符合以上说法，故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段的“Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it．”(然而，关于普通感冒有一个残酷的事实：没有什么方法能真正治愈它。)可知，文章主要介绍了目前没有真正能治愈普通感冒的事实，解释了其科学原因，并且介绍了一种可能真正治愈普通感冒的模型。也许，人们很快就会有治愈感冒的方法。C. No current cure for common cold(目前还没有治愈普通感冒的方法)可以作为本文标题，对文章进行概括，故选C项。

Simple ways to improve your written English
Many people think it is really difficult to improve (提高) their writing in English. Don’t worry, though. Here are some simple steps that you can take to improve your written English.
● Increase your vocabulary.

Tip: When you learn a new word, try to learn all the forms of that word.
● ___17___
People often say that we learn to write best by reading. Reading in English is useful in many ways. It is a great way to get an idea of the different styles of writing and see how to use words properly.

Tip: ___19___ The first time, look for general mistakes and the second time look for mistakes with the grammar point you are studying at the moment.

C. Always check your writing twice.
D. Remember, practice makes perfect!
E. Choose books or articles that interest you.

【答案】16. G 17. B 18. E 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这一篇应用文。文章就如何提高英语写作水平给出了三点建议。
【16题详解】
根据本段小标题Increase your vocabulary （增加你的词汇量）及空前That’s not just being able to know lots of words — it means actually being able to use them correctly.（这不仅仅是能够知道很多单词，这意味着能够正确地使用它们）可知，G项Do this by learning new words with example sentences, not just word lists.（通过例句学习新单词，而不仅仅是单词表）符合文意。选项G中的new words与标题中的vocabulary以及与上句中的lots of words呼应，并且选项G中的doing this可与use them correctly形成指代关系。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据其它两个小标题的句式可知，此处应填简短的祈使句。由第二段小标题下的Reading in English is useful in many ways.（读英语在很多方面是很有用的）可知，这个小标题强调读英语的重要性。由此可知，B项 Read widely and often（广泛地读与常读）可与标题下的内容呼应。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据下文Learning shouldn’t be boring.（学习不应该是枯燥的）可知，这里应是描写英语读的内容。选项E中的interest you（让你感兴趣的）可与下一句中的boring形成翻译呼应；由此可知， E项Choose books or articles that interest you.（选择你感兴趣的书或文章）符合文意。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据空后The first time, look for general mistakes and the second time look for mistakes with the grammar point you are studying at the moment.（第一次，找出一般的错误，第二次，找出你正在学习的语法点的错误）可知，此处指写完后要检查两遍。由此可知，C项Always check your writing twice.（经常检查你的写作两次）符合文意。选项C中的“twice”可与其中的“The first time…the second time”呼应，故选C。
【20题详解】
根据空前Be prepared to write several versions (版本) of each text.（准备好写几遍的打算）及本段的小标题Just do it!（就这么干吧！）可知，D项Remember, practice makes perfect!（记住，熟能生巧）与多练习前后呼应。故选D。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文，不仅在内容上要前后一致，而且还要语篇结构清晰，上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为：文章是总分结构，还是按时间或空间顺序发展的，还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。我们做题时优先选择句式以及上下词之间的呼应关系。这篇短文是带有小标题的文章，根据句式以及小标题与小标题内容呼应是重要的解题原则。例如根据小标题句式特点，我们很快可以锁定第二题的答案应该在AB之间，再根据内容一致性确定答案。第四题是明显的时间词语的呼应，第一题，第三题是词汇上下呼应。第五题是意思呼应。所以我们一般以呼应关系或句式确定答案，再以内容一致性验证答案。

Holly was confused as she opened the birthday present from her best friend. Susan — it was a twelve-by-eight inch dark blue carpet. Her “thanks” was hardly heard as Holly tried hard not to show her disappointment.
The next morning. I carried a kitchen rubbish bag outside only to find Susan’s carpet lying there. I immediately reached in and pulled it out of the rubbish can. After giving it a brushing. I brought it into the house and put it away.
Before Holly’s birthday, Susan had been a regular visitor in our home. But suddenly I realized that it had been nearly three weeks since we’d heard the mention of Susan’s name. I missed her warm smile very much.
“Susan invited us to go to her house after school tomorrow. “Holly said as soon as she arrived from school. From her voice I sensed she was pleased with the invitation.
We were traveling along the winding country road that led to her house the following day. On the way Susan talked nervously about her foster mom and the seventeen cats they had taken in and cared for.
When we came to a stop, Susan’s foster mom — who introduced herself as Glenda — gave us a warm welcome. Susan guided us through the house. She proudly showed us her room, which was only decorated with some shabby used furniture.
I followed Susan’s foster mom, Glenda, into the kitchen. After clearing a small area, Glenda poured us each a cup of black coffee with her trembling hand. Then she began to relax as we drank our coffee and chatted about her cats.
Her eyes shone as she showed her fondness for Susan. But her expression turned blue when she referred to the girl’s past In an instant, I came to respect this warmhearted woman who had opened her home to a younger girl and tied hard to make a difference in her life.

【答案】As daylight began to fade, we offered our thanks for the visit and said goodbye. Holly sat quietly in the car on the way home, pressing her forehead against the window as if lost in thought. All the way we didn’t say even a single word. No sooner had we come to a stop in the driveway than she threw open the back door and flew straight to the side gate of our house. I followed her silently and my throat tightened as I observed my daughter standing by the rubbish can looking inside. Soon she puffed, paused for a second or two, and walked inside, seeming slightly anxious and irritated.
“Is this what you were looking for ” I asked her in a gentle voice as I drew out the carpet from the cupboard and placed it in front of her. She gazed at me with absolute surprise, which soon turned to wild joy. “Thanks. Thank you mom, but... “She nearly screamed out when I threw open my arms and hugged her tightly just as she did with the carpet. I could see tears shining in her crystal eyes, a drop or two splashing onto the dark blue carpet. Magically, what she once didn’t even want to refer to now turned out to be her precious birthday present.
