阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项选出最佳选项。
A
Exergaming Exergaming is made up of exercise with video games. And there are lots to choose from. Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) is a fun way to work out. Simply stand on a platform and hit the coloured targets with your feet as you follow the instructions on the screen. You score points by hitting the right target at the right time. As the tagline (标语) says, “Taking dancing to a whole new level!” For a gentler form of exercise, try the “Wii Fit” series of games. You can do yoga, strength training and so on when standing on a balance board. Personalise your workout, or exercise with a friend, competing in games!
Anti-shoes Anti-shoes are designed to exercise parts of your body while you’re walking. They’re meant to improve your figure, and strengthen your leg and back muscles. The shoes were invented by Swiss engineer Karl Maller. He discovered that the Kenyan Masai tribespeople (who often walk barefoot) don’t suffer from back pain and are famous for their perfect figure. So, he decided that the answer was a shoe with a curved sole (弯曲的鞋底). Walking on this type of shoe is similar to the rocking move of a foot walking on soft sand or grass.
Zumba Zumba is a fun form of exercise. As their tagline says, “Drop the workout, join the party!” Zumba is a Latin-inspired fitness dance programme that uses hip-hop, samba, martial arts and belly dance moves to get you in shape. It was created by accident when a trainer forgot his exercise CD and used his own samba music instead. There are lots of different types of classes for all levels, including “Zumbatomic” for children aged 4 to 12, “Zumba Gold” for older participants, and “Aqua Zumba” among many others.

Once when I was four, Mom attacked a keyhole with a paper towel, wiping a spider out. “Stop!” I shouted, “She’s somebody’s mother!” I believe people shouldn’t harm other living things and that even the tiniest creatures must be honored.
One summer day, Mom and I planted a grapevine (葡萄树) in the yard. By the end of the summer, the longest branches had spread over the wall.
Then one day, as I was watering, the most magical thing happened. A beautiful midnight blue bug landed on my white T-shirt just below the shoulder. “Hello, pretty one,” I whispered. She didn’t move. Beautiful wings spread into a Y shape. She stuck to my shirt, unwilling to fly away. Ever when she left, I was still excited. That evening, I told Mom what had happened. “It was amazing.” Mom said.
One morning, weeks later, I went to feed my turtles. In the purple light of dawn, the grape leaves appeared brown and lacy (网眼状的). Something was wrong with my vine! I ran in to my Mom. We turned to a gardener nearby for help. He called the culprit (罪魁祸首) the Western grape leaf moth, who feeds on the leaves in her caterpillar (毛毛虫) stage. I was shocked. The moth had laid the eggs. Her babies were destroying my vine! Bacillus thuringiersis, a product widely used by grape growers, was recommended for exterminating the moths.
I had intended to use the liquid, until I read the warning instructions. “Mom, we can’t do this. The poor bugs!” She nodded. The next afternoon, I had an idea. I got a jar and cupped it over the moths, cutting off the leaf they lay on. “I know where I’ll take you.” I whispered.
The next morning. I rode a bus to the desert. I placed the jar near some bushes and opened it “Be safe,” I said. It was my wish for them. Back home, the caterpillars continued their work. I cut off the leaves and placed them in bags. They went to the desert as well. Could the desert handle them I wondered. Was I doing the right thing Would I have to continue this for the rest of my life Sure.

We are learning more and more every day about just how smart some animals are: monkeys, some species of birds, dogs, cats. But how about other animals Snails Mosquitos They sure seem less smart. Still smarter than plants, though. Because it would be difficult to argue that plants are intelligent. Or would it
In a new study, it was shown that plants send out sounds when they are sad. And these sounds are very different depending on whether they have recently been cut or whether they don’t have enough water. The sounds can’t be heard by human ears, as they are between 20 and 100 kilohertz, which is above the bottom of human hearing (which usually has the upper limit of 15-17 kilohertz).
These are fantastic results: plants don’t suffer in silence; they are screaming with pain. That is exactly what the popular science press has been doing.
There is no evidence that they are heard by anyone although theoretically (理论上) some animals — bats, moths, mice — could actually hear it as their ears are sensitive to the plant sounds. And it could very well be a byproduct (副产品) of the physical condition of these plants: less water in the system leads to more air bubbles (气泡) in plants, which leads to the sound of the popping of these bubbles.
Is this a disappointing explanation I don’t think so. The aim is to understand why plants do what they do. And the results about the sounds contribute to this body of knowledge. They could even lead to better ways of controlling the needs of plants in gardening by sound observation.
All of this is true even if the plants don’t strictly “cry” or “scream”.
8. Why are we unable to hear the sounds of plants
A. Because they are imagined by humans.
B. Because they go beyond human hearing.
C. Because plants don’t actually give off sounds.
D. Because plants are not as intelligent as animals.
9. What do we know about the study
A. Plants keep silent even when they suffer.
B. Water in the plants sends off different sounds.
C. The plant sounds might show their feelings or needs.
D. The study aims to control the needs and feelings of plants.
10. Why does the author consider the explanation acceptable
A. Because plants don’t actually “cry” or “scream”.
B. Because the results prove their knowledge of plants.
C. Because the results show that-plants understand what they do.
D. Because plants’ demands could be met by observing their sounds.
11. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Plants suffer in silence B. Plants “cry” in pain
C. Plants “scream” with joy D. Plants need attention
D
Seattle’s public school system on Friday filed a lawsuit (起诉) against several Big Tech companies, including Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube, claiming (声称) that their platforms have a negative influence on students’ mental health and the ability of its schools to complete their educational tasks.
The school district, which is the largest in the state of Washington with nearly 50,000 students, claimed that in order to increase their income, the companies have successfully taken advantage of the vulnerable (易受影响的) brains of youth to lengthen the time users spend on their platforms. The action taken by the platforms has been a key factor in causing youth mental health problems, which has been marked by more and more youth struggling with anxiety, depression, thoughts of self-harm and so on.
As is visible (可见的), students experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems perform worse in school, and are less likely to attend school, more likely to take drugs. The district continues to take additional steps to train teachers and screen students for mental health symptoms (症状) who may need further support, but it needs an all-rounded, long-term plan helping with the growing mental health problems.
While a growing number of families have filed lawsuits against social media companies for their negative influence on the mental health of their children, it’s unusual to see a school district take such a step.
TikTok, which has faced pressure from lawmaker for its potential effect on younger users, announced in July that it would introduce new ways to filter out (过滤掉) potentially problematic videos. TikTok also introduced a tool that aims to help people decide how much time they want to spend on the app. Snapchat, meanwhile, has introduced a parent guide aimed at online security, making parents more aware of how their teens use the app. That includes more information about who their kids have been talking to over the last week, without giving away (泄露) the content of those conversations.
12. Why did Seattle’s public school system filed a lawsuit against several Big Tech companies
A. Their student’ mental health has been harmed.
B. Their teachers’ teaching ability has been influenced.
C. Their students’ academic performance has been worsened.
D. Their schools’ ability to complete teaching tasks has been blocked.
13. What can we infer about the mental health problems of students in Seattle
A. They are slight but lasting. B. They are invisible and serious.
C. They are rare but deadly. D. They are various and challenging.
14. What can we conclude from the action taken by TikTok
A. TikTok has done more harm than good to younger users.
B. TikTok will give away children’s conversations to their parents.
C. TikTok will pay more attention to the online security of young users.
D. TikTok has introduced a parent guide to filter out improper videos.
15. What’s the social media companies’ attitude to dealing with the lawsuit
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Ineffective.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you eat is as important as what you eat for keeping a good weight, preventing and curing some diseases and living a long and happy life. We’re all familiar with our biological clocks that send out chemical signals at certain times to help us wake, sleep, and do other activities. ___16___ That is to sync (同步) our consumption (消耗) of food with chemical reactions in the body.
According to these clocks, the best way to eat is to consume more energy earlier in the day and less energy later in the day. But our bodies desire the opposite - more calories at the end of the day and fewer in the morning. This is a problem from a time when humans’ food supply was unreliable and storing energy was an advantage. ___17___ Studies in animals and humans have connected it with weight gain, diseases and aging.
So we need to change that food clock and eat in a way-more early, less inter-that allows food patterns in line with our biological clocks.
What are the guiding principles (原理) in this system of eating A few changes to these eating habits will help sync up our internal systems. Two are especially important:
1. Limit your eating to when the sun shines-a window of about 12 hours or, better yet, fewer. ___18___
2. Eat more in the morning and midday and less later on. Your body will work best and it will be healthier if you store calories in advance rather than save them until later in the day as many of us do.
People should learn how to do this day to day. ___19___ Our bodies change depending on what’s going on in our lives, so we may need to change when we eat to be at our best.
___20___ It will help prevent diseases and even control diseases. Following this plan can result in all kinds of improvements to your quality of life: better sleep, more energy--and just overall better health.
A. That means cutting out nighttime food.
B. Here is the science behind your eating habits.
C. What benefits can we get from eating this way
D. But we also should define “when” another way.
E. We also have a food clock with a similar purpose.
F. Today this kind of food clock has negative effects on our health.
G. Healthy food and regular eating habits can help you live longer.

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。
Sean turned to look at his father, who was standing confidently on his new sailboat. Sean hated it that he couldn’t remember all of the sailing terms (术语) and skills his dad taught him. However, he pushed himself to ask, expecting his father’s response. “Which way are we turning ” “We’re coming about” his father said firmly. “That means we are turning into the wild. That way.” His father said, pointing to the right side of the boat. “Time for you to make a bowline knot (单套结)!”
Sean reached for a rope and tried his best to make one. His father had taught him the skill dozens of times, which could not only help moor (停泊) the boat but also save everyone in emergency. After practising several times, he finally knew how to do this correctly and quickly. He looked back at his father, hoping for a praise. But his dad was looking up at the sail (帆), not at him. He untied the knot and dropped the rope under the seat, filled with a sense of loss.
He looked up at the sky. Dark clouds gathered overhead and the wind began blowing. “Hey, Sean, come and take the wheel for a minute!” His father ordered. Sean didn’t want to, not did he want to see that disappointing look on his father’s face. “Uh, year!” Sean locked the sail in place and went to keep the wheel.
“Just keep her going straight. I’m going to check something.” Sean held the wheel tightly. Suddenly, the wind changed direction. The boat shook sharply and even tipped (倾斜) to one side. “Dad!” he called, but no response. He didn’t see him anywhere on the sailboat. Just then, the water became calm a little. Sean caught the chance to look the wheel quickly. He looked out at the huge crashing waves. Then he saw it--- a flash of a figure.
注意：续写词数应150左右。
Much to his surprise, the figure in the water was his dad!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He tied one end of the rope onto the boat and aimed the bowline knot at his dad.

Walking on this type of shoe is similar to the rocking move of a foot walking on soft sand or grass.”（这种鞋是由瑞士工程师卡尔·马勒发明的。他发现肯尼亚马赛部落的人（经常赤脚行走）不会背痛，而且以完美的身材而闻名。于是，他决定设计一款弯曲鞋底的鞋子。穿这种鞋走路就像脚在柔软的沙滩或草地上行走时的一样。）可知，Anti-shoes可以减少背部疼痛。故选C项。

Once when I was four, Mom attacked a keyhole with a paper towel, wiping a spider out. “Stop!” I shouted, “She’s somebody’s mother!” I believe people shouldn’t harm other living things and that even the tiniest creatures must be honored.
One summer day, Mom and I planted a grapevine (葡萄树) in the yard. By the end of the summer, the longest branches had spread over the wall.
Then one day, as I was watering, the most magical thing happened. A beautiful midnight blue bug landed on my white T-shirt just below the shoulder. “Hello, pretty one,” I whispered. She didn’t move. Beautiful wings spread into a Y shape. She stuck to my shirt, unwilling to fly away. Ever when she left, I was still excited. That evening, I told Mom what had happened. “It was amazing.” Mom said.
One morning, weeks later, I went to feed my turtles. In the purple light of dawn, the grape leaves appeared brown and lacy (网眼状的). Something was wrong with my vine! I ran in to my Mom. We turned to a gardener nearby for help. He called the culprit (罪魁祸首) the Western grape leaf moth, who feeds on the leaves in her caterpillar (毛毛虫) stage. I was shocked. The moth had laid the eggs. Her babies were destroying my vine! Bacillus thuringiersis, a product widely used by grape growers, was recommended for exterminating the moths.
I had intended to use the liquid, until I read the warning instructions. “Mom, we can’t do this. The poor bugs!” She nodded. The next afternoon, I had an idea. I got a jar and cupped it over the moths, cutting off the leaf they lay on. “I know where I’ll take you.” I whispered.
The next morning. I rode a bus to the desert. I placed the jar near some bushes and opened it “Be safe,” I said. It was my wish for them. Back home, the caterpillars continued their work. I cut off the leaves and placed them in bags. They went to the desert as well. Could the desert handle them I wondered. Was I doing the right thing Would I have to continue this for the rest of my life Sure.
4. What can we learn from paragraph 3

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章通过讲述自己小时候的一些亲身经历，表达了作者对所有生物都应受到尊重和呵护的思想和环保理念，并通过自己的实际行动和思考，表现了对这些理念的实践。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Then one day, as I was watering, the most magical thing happened. A beautiful midnight blue bug landed on my white T-shirt just below the shoulder. “Hello, pretty one,” I whispered. She didn’t move. Beautiful wings spread into a Y shape. She stuck to my shirt, unwilling to fly away. Ever when she left, I was still excited. That evening, I told Mom what had happened. “It was amazing.” Mom said.(然后有一天，当我在浇水的时候，最神奇的事情发生了。一只美丽的午夜蓝色虫子落在我的白色t恤的肩膀下面。“你好，美女，”我低声说。她没有动。美丽的翅膀展开成一个Y形。她粘在我的衬衫上，不愿飞走。当她离开的时候，我仍然很兴奋。那天晚上，我把发生的事告诉了妈妈。“太神奇了。”母亲说)”可知，有虫子落在身上，作者不害怕，而是友好的打招呼，所以推知作者对虫子很友好。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“The moth had laid the eggs. Her babies were destroying my vine!(飞蛾下了蛋。她的孩子毁了我的藤蔓!)”以及“Bacillus thuringiersis, a product widely used by grape growers(葡萄种植者广泛使用的苏云金芽孢杆菌)”可知，moth对葡萄有害，所以Bacillus thuringiersis是用来消灭moth，推知exterminating意为“消灭”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The next morning. I rode a bus to the desert. I placed the jar near some bushes and opened it “Be safe,” I said. It was my wish for them. Back home, the caterpillars continued their work. I cut off the leaves and placed them in bags. They went to the desert as well. Could the desert handle them I wondered. Was I doing the right thing Would I have to continue this for the rest of my life Sure.(第二天早上。我乘公共汽车去了沙漠。我把罐子放在灌木丛旁边，打开了它。“注意安全，”我说。这是我对他们的愿望。回到家后，毛毛虫继续它们的工作。我把叶子剪下来，放在袋子里。他们也去了沙漠。沙漠能承受他们吗 我想知道。我做的对吗 我的下半辈子都得这样吗 确定)”可知，作者确定下半辈子都得这样去保护动物，所以最后一段暗示了作者将继续保护生物。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I believe people shouldn’t harm other living things and that even the tiniest creatures must be honored.(我相信人们不应该伤害其他生物，即使是最小的生物也应该受到尊重)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了所有生物都应受到尊重和呵护，所以本文的主题是生物应该被平等对待。故选C项。
C

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The sounds can’t be heard by human ears, as they are between 20 and 100 kilohertz, which is above the bottom of human hearing (which usually has the upper limit of 15-17 kilohertz).(人耳是听不到这些声音的，因为这些声音的频率在20到100千赫之间，高于人类听觉的最低频率(通常上限是15到17千赫)。)”可知，我们听不到植物的声音是因为这些声音的频率在20到100千赫之间，高于人类听觉的最低频率，故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In a new study, it was shown that plants send out sounds when they are sad. And these sounds are very different depending on whether they have recently been cut or whether they don’t have enough water.(一项新的研究表明，植物在悲伤时会发出声音。这些声音的不同取决于它们最近是否被修剪或者它们是否没有被浇足够的水。)”可推知，植物声音的不同取决于它们最近是否被修剪或者它们是否没有被浇足够的水，植物的声音可能表示它们的感觉或需要。故选C。

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Is this a disappointing explanation I don’t think so. The aim is to understand why plants do what they do. And the results about the sounds contribute to this body of knowledge. They could even lead to better ways of controlling the needs of plants in gardening by sound observation.(这是一个令人失望的解释吗？我不这么认为。目的是了解植物为什么这样做。关于声音的结果有助于形成这个知识体系。他们甚至可以通过合理的观察，找到更好的方法来控制园艺中植物的需求。)”可知，作者认为这个解释是可以接受的是因为植物的需求可以通过观察它们的声音来满足。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“In a new study, it was shown that plants send out sounds when they are sad. And these sounds are very different depending on whether they have recently been cut or whether they don’t have enough water.(一项新的研究表明，植物在悲伤时会发出声音。这些声音的不同取决于它们最近是否被修剪或者它们是否没有被浇足够的水。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，植物在悲伤的时候会发出声音。B项“植物痛苦时会‘哭泣’”适合做文章标题，故选B。

Seattle’s public school system on Friday filed a lawsuit (起诉) against several Big Tech companies, including Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube, claiming (声称) that their platforms have a negative influence on students’ mental health and the ability of its schools to complete their educational tasks.
The school district, which is the largest in the state of Washington with nearly 50,000 students, claimed that in order to increase their income, the companies have successfully taken advantage of the vulnerable (易受影响的) brains of youth to lengthen the time users spend on their platforms. The action taken by the platforms has been a key factor in causing youth mental health problems, which has been marked by more and more youth struggling with anxiety, depression, thoughts of self-harm and so on.
As is visible (可见的), students experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems perform worse in school, and are less likely to attend school, more likely to take drugs. The district continues to take additional steps to train teachers and screen students for mental health symptoms (症状) who may need further support, but it needs an all-rounded, long-term plan helping with the growing mental health problems.
While a growing number of families have filed lawsuits against social media companies for their negative influence on the mental health of their children, it’s unusual to see a school district take such a step.
TikTok, which has faced pressure from lawmaker for its potential effect on younger users, announced in July that it would introduce new ways to filter out (过滤掉) potentially problematic videos. TikTok also introduced a tool that aims to help people decide how much time they want to spend on the app. Snapchat, meanwhile, has introduced a parent guide aimed at online security, making parents more aware of how their teens use the app. That includes more information about who their kids have been talking to over the last week, without giving away (泄露) the content of those conversations.
12. Why did Seattle’s public school system filed a lawsuit against several Big Tech companies
A. Their student’ mental health has been harmed.
B. Their teachers’ teaching ability has been influenced.
C. Their students’ academic performance has been worsened.
D. Their schools’ ability to complete teaching tasks has been blocked.
13. What can we infer about the mental health problems of students in Seattle
A. They are slight but lasting. B. They are invisible and serious.
C. They are rare but deadly. D. They are various and challenging.
14. What can we conclude from the action taken by TikTok
A. TikTok has done more harm than good to younger users.
B. TikTok will give away children’s conversations to their parents.
C. TikTok will pay more attention to the online security of young users.
D. TikTok has introduced a parent guide to filter out improper videos.
15. What’s the social media companies’ attitude to dealing with the lawsuit
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Ineffective.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you eat is as important as what you eat for keeping a good weight, preventing and curing some diseases and living a long and happy life. We’re all familiar with our biological clocks that send out chemical signals at certain times to help us wake, sleep, and do other activities. ___16___ That is to sync (同步) our consumption (消耗) of food with chemical reactions in the body.
According to these clocks, the best way to eat is to consume more energy earlier in the day and less energy later in the day. But our bodies desire the opposite - more calories at the end of the day and fewer in the morning. This is a problem from a time when humans’ food supply was unreliable and storing energy was an advantage. ___17___ Studies in animals and humans have connected it with weight gain, diseases and aging.
So we need to change that food clock and eat in a way-more early, less inter-that allows food patterns in line with our biological clocks.
What are the guiding principles (原理) in this system of eating A few changes to these eating habits will help sync up our internal systems. Two are especially important:
1. Limit your eating to when the sun shines-a window of about 12 hours or, better yet, fewer. ___18___
2. Eat more in the morning and midday and less later on. Your body will work best and it will be healthier if you store calories in advance rather than save them until later in the day, as many of us do.
People should learn how to do this day to day. ___19___ Our bodies change depending on what’s going on in our lives, so we may need to change when we eat to be at our best.
___20___ It will help prevent diseases and even control diseases. Following this plan can result in all kinds of improvements to your quality of life: better sleep, more energy--and just overall better health.
A. That means cutting out nighttime food.
B Here is the science behind your eating habits.
C. What benefits can we get from eating this way
D. But we also should define “when” another way.
E. We also have a food clock with a similar purpose.
F. Today this kind of food clock has negative effects on our health.
G. Healthy food and regular eating habits can help you live longer.

【16题详解】
上文“We’re all familiar with our biological clocks that send out chemical signals at certain times to help us wake, sleep, and do other activities. (我们都熟悉我们的生物钟，它在特定的时间发出化学信号来帮助我们醒来、睡觉和做其他活动。)”指出我们的生物钟在特定的时间发出化学信号来帮助我们醒来、睡觉和做其他活动，结合下文“That is to sync (同步) our consumption (消耗) of food with chemical reactions in the body.(这是为了使我们对食物的消费与体内的化学反应同步。)”和“According to these clocks, the best way to eat is to consume more energy earlier in the day and less energy later in the day. (根据这些时钟，最好的吃法是在一天的早些时候消耗更多的能量，在一天的晚些时候消耗更少的能量。)”可知，下文主要介绍了食物钟，由此可知，空处应是引出“食物钟”，E项“我们还有一个用途相似的食物钟。”符合，故选E。

Sean turned to look at his father, who was standing confidently on his new sailboat. Sean hated it that he couldn’t remember all of the sailing terms (术语) and skills his dad taught him. However, he pushed himself to ask, expecting his father’s response. “Which way are we turning ” “We’re coming about” his father said firmly. “That means we are turning into the wild. That way.” His father said, pointing to the right side of the boat. “Time for you to make a bowline knot (单套结)!”
Sean reached for a rope and tried his best to make one. His father had taught him the skill dozens of times, which could not only help moor (停泊) the boat but also save everyone in emergency. After practising several times, he finally knew how to do this correctly and quickly. He looked back at his father, hoping for a praise. But his dad was looking up at the sail (帆), not at him. He untied the knot and dropped the rope under the seat, filled with a sense of loss.
He looked up at the sky. Dark clouds gathered overhead and the wind began blowing. “Hey, Sean, come and take the wheel for a minute!” His father ordered. Sean didn’t want to, not did he want to see that disappointing look on his father’s face. “Uh, year!” Sean locked the sail in place and went to keep the wheel.
“Just keep her going straight. I’m going to check something.” Sean held the wheel tightly. Suddenly, the wind changed direction. The boat shook sharply and even tipped (倾斜) to one side. “Dad!” he called, but no response. He didn’t see him anywhere on the sailboat. Just then, the water became calm a little. Sean caught the chance to look the wheel quickly. He looked out at the huge crashing waves. Then he saw it--- a flash of a figure.

【答案】Much to his surprise, the figure in the water was his dad! Sean reached the rope that his father had used to teach him sailing knots now to save his father. As he recited the trick his father taught him, he formed the knot and pulled it tight. He knew that his dad’s life depended on his ability to throw the bowline knot accurately. Focused and determined, he aimed the knot towards his dad, who was struggling in the water.
He tied one end of the rope onto the boat and aimed the bowline knot at his dad. Using his strength and the support of the rope, Sean’s dad managed to pull himself closer to the boat. Sean’s heart raced with relief as he reached out and grasped his father’s hand, pulling him back on board. Breathing heavily, both father and son embraced, their relief and gratitude palpable. “You saved me, Sean,” his dad whispered, his voice filled with pride and love. Sean couldn’t help but smile, finally feeling the affirmation he had longed for.
