The Australian accent developed because so many early settlers were drunk. Dean Frenkel, a communications expert at Victoria University in Melbourne, said that the first British arrivals to the country were such big drinkers that the distortion (失真) to their speech caused a verbal change that persists to this day.
Academic Mr. Frenkel wrote in the Australian newspaper The Age, “Our forefathers regularly got drunk together, and through their frequent interactions added an alcoholic slur (模糊) to our national speech patterns. For the past two centuries, from generation to generation, the drunken Australian accent continues to be taught by parents to their children.”
Mr. Frenkel continued, “The average Australian speaks to just two-thirds capacity — with one-third of our speaking muscles always keep still as if lying on the couch. Missing consonants (辅音) can include missing “t”s (Impordant), “l”s (Austraya) and “s”s (yesh), while many of our vowels (元音) are lazily transformed into other vowels, especially “a”s to “e”s (stending) and “i”s to “oi”s (noight).”
The Australian accent has historically lacked regional variation because although the communities began as isolated(孤立的) settlements, there was a great deal of internal migration, particularly from Sydney where the first accent began.
The most common fear people have about the Australian accent is that it’s becoming more Americanized. But Dr. Felicity Cox, an associate professor of linguistics at Macquarie University, said that accents are remarkably resistant to change from factors such as social media, and as long as people want to be known as Australian, they will keep the distinctive Australian sound. It will always remain a strong marker of national identity.
24. What makes the Australian accent special
A. Verbal patterns of native speakers.
B. Early residents’ custom of drinking alcohol.
C. Frequent interactions with foreign countries.
D. The popularity of the British education system.
25. How may Australians pronounce the word “light”
A. Loight. B. Leght. C. Lighs. D. Lighd.
26. What accounts for the lack of regional differences in Australian accents
A. Small numbers of populations. B. Isolated geographical locations.
C. Similar lifestyle among residents. D. Large migrations within the country.
27. What can we learn about the Australian accent according to Dr Felicity Cox
A. It has become more diverse than ever.
B. It has been greatly influenced by social media.
C. It is a unique symbol of Australian identity.
D. It changes a lot based on American pronunciation rules.
C
One of the reasons I became a teacher was how much I loved the reading and writing process, and how excited I was to help young children develop as readers and writers. One day, I discovered a work of Vivian Paley, who developed a storytelling curriculum (课程) for young children, which involves writing down the contents of students’ drawings and having their classmates act out these stories. I was immediately drawn to Paley’s focus on drama.
One morning, as my students gathered in our classroom for our writing lesson, I told them that they could draw anything they’d like, imaginary or real. They discussed with one another what they liked to draw and some shared their ideas loud, which helped inspire those who weren’t ready with their own ideas. For the next half hour or so, I observed that even my most hesitant and unwilling students were drawing with a sense of concentration and purpose.
Later, we sat in a circle and I explained that we would act out some of their stories. The writer would choose classmates to be the characters in the story, and I would tell the story. Then a student stood up to announce which characters she’d need. I watched as one student played a rabbit, another played a fairy, and another played a rainbow cloud. When the play was over, the actors and the “director” bowed, and the class clapped for them. The next “director” jumped to her feet, shouting, “My story is the next!”
After I taught in this way, my students began to write down their own stories, though I always provided aid in the writing process when they needed. The goal of these lessons is not to turn my students into fluent writers in kindergarten but to provide them with the chance to become writers, to see themselves as storytellers, and to experience the magical feeling when their ideas come to life.
28. What does Paley’s curriculum mainly ask students to do
A. Tell stories. B. Draw pictures. C. Create plays. D. Practise acting.
29. What encouraged the inactive students to start to draw
A. Other students’ ideas. B. The author’s instruction.
C. The inspiration from books. D. Their experience of painting.
30. How did the students eventually feel in that morning’s class
A. Confused. B. Concerned. C. Relaxed. D. Interested.
31. Why does the author plan such special lessons
A. To help students write more fluently.
B. To get students more drawing inspiration.
C. To set students the goal of becoming writers.
D. To make students know the joy of composition.
D
They had a dozen children, six boys and six girls, in seventeen years. One reason Dad had so many children was that he was confident anything he and Mother teamed upon was sure to be a success.
Our house at Montclair, New Jersey, was a sort of school for scientific management and the removal of wasted motions — or “motion study,” as Dad and Mother named it.
Dad took moving pictures of us children washing dishes, so that he could determine how we could reduce our motions and thus hurry through the task. Each child who wanted extra pocket money put forward an offer saying what he would do the job for. The lowest bidder got the contract(合约).
Dad put process and work charts in the bathrooms. Every child old enough to write — and Dad expected his children to start writing at a young age — was required to sign their names on the charts in the morning after he had brushed his teeth, taken a bath, combed his hair, and made his bed. At night, each child had to weigh himself, mark the figure on a graph, and sign the process charts again after he had done his homework, washed his hands and face, and brushed his teeth. Mother wanted to have a place on the charts for saying prayers, but Dad said as far as he was concerned prayers were voluntary.
It was strict management, all right. Yes, at home or on the job, Dad was always the efficiency expert. He buttoned his vest from the bottom up, instead of from the top down, because the bottom-to-top process took him only three seconds, while the top-to-bottom took seven. He even used two shaving brushes to make his face smooth enough, because he found that by so doing he could cut seventeen seconds off his shaving time. For a while he tried shaving with two razors, but he finally gave that up.
“I can save forty-four seconds,” he complained, “but I wasted two minutes this morning putting this bandage on my throat.” It wasn’t the injured throat that really bothered him. It was the two minutes.
32. Why was the author’s house considered a sort of school
A. It had a team of twelve children there.
B. The children were taught how to work well in it.
C. The parents could teach their children better at home.
D. The parents could have the children’s daily activities recorded.
33. What is the purpose of signing the charts
A. To help to do things efficiently. B. To manage the big family effectively.
C. To look after the children better. D. To remind the children to obey the rules.
34. What did the father complain about one morning
A. He should have given up shaving. B. His bleeding throat bothered him.
C. He couldn’t shave with two razors. D. He failed to cut short his shaving time.
35 We can we infer from the text
A The kids had to bid for everything they wanted.
B. The author took pride in his father’s management.
C. The couple were always troubled by their children.
D. The father’s work was to teach the children at home.

I was angry about my father in the first year of college, because he didn’t care about my feelings all.
One day I had a serious quarrel with him. I was fed up with his direction and correction. How could he interfere with my life and my study plans How could he understand the importance of my university activities The only thing that he cared about was my academic performance! He didn’t understand my world and I didn’t understand his either.
I stormed out and sighed all the way to school. Suddenly I realized that I didn’t have the assignment that was due: a thought card. This class was taught by Dr. Sidney B. Simon. The thought card was the admission ticket to his class. He would return them to us with his comment.
My first thought card read, “All that glitters(发光) is not gold.” He commented, “What does this quote mean to you Is it significant ” Obviously, he was taking it seriously. I surely didn’t want to reveal myself to him.
The week progressed. Dr. Simon’s class was quite brilliant. He challenged us to think and come up with our own responses. But I had no handling strategies to deal with it.
The second Tuesday came. I wrote on my card, “The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.” The next day the card came back: “You seem to need a listener. Is this important to your life ” I couldn’t remember a teacher caring personally about me since primary school.
With all these memories filling my mind, I raced to class. Just outside tho door, I took a card and wrote, “I have the most terrible Dad of the world!” Then I dashed in. Looking up at me, he reached out for the card, and I took my seat. The moment I sat down, I felt terrible. I didn’t mean to let that out. That night I had difficiulty sleeping. What if he contacted my dad

【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: Pleased to be here today. My name’s Joan, and I’d like to share with you something about my French learning. I still remember when I first started to learn the language I didn’t really have a problem with the pronunciation. I just had a hard time memorizing words. But I made a great effort and soon I was scoring ten out of ten in all of the tests. By the time I got to university, I could do some writing and translations without much difficulty, and I actually enjoyed learning the grammar rules. Then as part of my university course I had to go and live in France for a year. As soon as I arrived，I realized I didn’t know how to order the type of coffee I liked, and trying to find somewhere to live or stay was something difficult to deal with. I called people about information in the paper, but I had to keep putting the phone down because I couldn’t understand a word they were saying — they all spoke so quickly! I could see then that there’s no point in just knowing words if you can’t hold a conversation with a native speaker. The ability to speak freely is what helps you get a job, hold a conversation or just buy the things you need.

The Australian accent developed because so many early settlers were drunk. Dean Frenkel, a communications expert at Victoria University in Melbourne, said that the first British arrivals to the country were such big drinkers that the distortion (失真) to their speech caused a verbal change that persists to this day.
Academic Mr. Frenkel wrote in the Australian newspaper The Age, “Our forefathers regularly got drunk together, and through their frequent interactions added an alcoholic slur (模糊) to our national speech patterns. For the past two centuries, from generation to generation, the drunken Australian accent continues to be taught by parents to their children.”
Mr. Frenkel continued, “The average Australian speaks to just two-thirds capacity — with one-third of our speaking muscles always keep still as if lying on the couch. Missing consonants (辅音) can include missing “t”s (Impordant), “l”s (Austraya) and “s”s (yesh), while many of our vowels (元音) are lazily transformed into other vowels, especially “a”s to “e”s (stending) and “i”s to “oi”s (noight).”
The Australian accent has historically lacked regional variation because although the communities began as isolated(孤立的) settlements, there was a great deal of internal migration, particularly from Sydney where the first accent began.
The most common fear people have about the Australian accent is that it’s becoming more Americanized. But Dr. Felicity Cox, an associate professor of linguistics at Macquarie University, said that accents are remarkably resistant to change from factors such as social media, and as long as people want to be known as Australian, they will keep the distinctive Australian sound. It will always remain a strong marker of national identity.
24. What makes the Australian accent special
A. Verbal patterns of native speakers.
B. Early residents’ custom of drinking alcohol.
C. Frequent interactions with foreign countries.
D. The popularity of the British education system.
25. How may Australians pronounce the word “light”
A. Loight. B. Leght. C. Lighs. D. Lighd.
26. What accounts for the lack of regional differences in Australian accents
A. Small numbers of populations. B. Isolated geographical locations.
C. Similar lifestyle among residents. D. Large migrations within the country.
27. What can we learn about the Australian accent according to Dr Felicity Cox
A. It has become more diverse than ever.
B. It has been greatly influenced by social media.
C. It is a unique symbol of Australian identity.
D. It changes a lot based on American pronunciation rules.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述澳大利亚口音的发展的成因以及特色和意义。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“The Australian accent developed because so many early settlers were drunk. Dean Frenkel, a communications expert at Victoria University in Melbourne, said that the first British arrivals to the country were such big drinkers that the distortion(失真) to their speech caused a verbal change that persists to this day.(澳大利亚口音的发展是因为许多早期定居者喝醉了。墨尔本维多利亚大学的传播专家Dean Frenkel表示，第一批抵达该国的英国人都是酗酒成性的人，他们讲话的失真导致了语言上的变化，这种变化一直持续到今天。)”可知，早期居民的饮酒习惯导致澳大利亚口音特殊。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“Missing consonants(辅音) can include missing‘t’s (Impordant),‘l’s (Austraya) and ‘s’s (yesh), while many of our vowels(元音) are lazily transformed into other vowels, especially ‘a’s to ‘e’s (stending) and ‘i’s to‘oi’s (noight).(缺失的辅音可以包括缺失的‘t’s（Impordant）、‘l’s（Austraya）和‘s’s（yesh），而我们的许多元音都被惰性地转换为其他元音，尤其是‘a’s到‘e’s（stending）和‘i’s到‘oi’s（noight）。)”可知，澳大利亚人会把light中元音i转换成oi，读成loight。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段“The Australian accent has historically lacked regional variation because although the communities began as isolated(孤立的) settlements, there was a great deal of internal migration, particularly from Sydney where the first accent began.(澳大利亚口音历来缺乏地区差异，因为尽管这些社区最初是孤立的定居点，但也有大量的内部移民，特别是从第一种口音开始的悉尼移民。)”可知，由于国内大规模移民导致澳大利亚口音没有地区差异。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“But Dr. Felicity Cox, an associate professor of linguistics at Macquarie University, said that accents are remarkably resistant to change from factors such as social media, and as long as people want to be known as Australian, they will keep the distinctive Australian sound. It will always remain a strong marker of national identity.(但Macquarie 大学语言学副教授Felicity Cox博士表示，口音非常抗拒社交媒体等因素的改变，只要人们想被称为澳大利亚人，他们就会保持独特的澳大利亚声音。它将永远是国家身份的有力标志。)”可知，Dr Felicity Cox认为澳大利亚口音是国家身份的独特的标志。故选C项。
C
One of the reasons I became a teacher was how much I loved the reading and writing process, and how excited I was to help young children develop as readers and writers. One day, I discovered a work of Vivian Paley, who developed a storytelling curriculum (课程) for young children, which involves writing down the contents of students’ drawings and having their classmates act out these stories. I was immediately drawn to Paley’s focus on drama.
One morning, as my students gathered in our classroom for our writing lesson, I told them that they could draw anything they’d like, imaginary or real. They discussed with one another what they liked to draw and some shared their ideas loud, which helped inspire those who weren’t ready with their own ideas. For the next half hour or so, I observed that even my most hesitant and unwilling students were drawing with a sense of concentration and purpose.
Later, we sat in a circle and I explained that we would act out some of their stories. The writer would choose classmates to be the characters in the story, and I would tell the story. Then a student stood up to announce which characters she’d need. I watched as one student played a rabbit, another played a fairy, and another played a rainbow cloud. When the play was over, the actors and the “director” bowed, and the class clapped for them. The next “director” jumped to her feet, shouting, “My story is the next!”
After I taught in this way, my students began to write down their own stories, though I always provided aid in the writing process when they needed. The goal of these lessons is not to turn my students into fluent writers in kindergarten but to provide them with the chance to become writers, to see themselves as storytellers, and to experience the magical feeling when their ideas come to life.
28. What does Paley’s curriculum mainly ask students to do
A. Tell stories. B. Draw pictures. C. Create plays. D. Practise acting.
29. What encouraged the inactive students to start to draw
A. Other students’ ideas. B. The author’s instruction.
C. The inspiration from books. D. Their experience of painting.
30. How did the students eventually feel in that morning’s class
A. Confused. B. Concerned. C. Relaxed. D. Interested.
31. Why does the author plan such special lessons
A. To help students write more fluently.
B. To get students more drawing inspiration.
C. To set students the goal of becoming writers.
D. To make students know the joy of composition.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者受到Vivian Paley的课程模式的启发，决定采取特殊的课堂形式，鼓励学生画出自己创作的故事并把它和其他同学一起演出来，从而让学生感受创作的乐趣。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One day, I discovered a work of Vivian Paley, who developed a storytelling curriculum (课程) for young children, which involves writing down the contents of students’ drawings and having their classmates act out these stories.(有一天，我发现了Vivian Paley的作品，她为幼儿开发了一个讲故事的课程，其中包括写下学生画的内容，让他们的同学表演这些故事)”可知，Paley的课程主要要求学生创作剧本。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They discussed with one another what they liked to draw and some shared their ideas loud, which helped inspire those who weren’t ready with their own ideas. For the next half hour or so, I observed that even my most hesitant and unwilling students were drawing with a sense of concentration and purpose.(他们互相讨论自己喜欢画什么，有些人大声分享自己的想法，这有助于激励那些还没有准备好自己想法的人。在接下来的半个多小时里，我观察到，即使是我最犹豫、最不情愿的学生，也带着一种专注和目标的感觉画画)”可知，其他学生的想法鼓励不活跃的学生开始画画。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For the next half hour or so, I observed that even my most hesitant and unwilling students were drawing with a sense of concentration and purpose.(在接下来的半个多小时里，我观察到，即使是我最犹豫、最不情愿的学生，也带着一种专注和目标的感觉画画)”和第三段中的“When the play was over, the actors and the “director” bowed, and the class clapped for them. The next “director” jumped to her feet, shouting, “My story is the next!”(演出结束时，演员和“导演”鞠躬，全班为他们鼓掌。下一个“导演”跳了起来，喊道：“我的故事是下一个！”)”可推知，学生们应是对作者那天的课堂很感兴趣。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The goal of these lessons is not to turn my students into fluent writers in kindergarten but to provide them with the chance to become writers, to see themselves as storytellers, and to experience the magical feeling when their ideas come to life.(这些课程的目标不是让我的学生在幼儿园就能流利地写作，而是为他们提供成为作家的机会，让他们把自己看作是讲故事的人，并体验当他们的想法变成现实时的神奇感觉)”可知，作者的课堂是为了让学生了解创作的乐趣。故选D。
D
They had a dozen children, six boys and six girls, in seventeen years. One reason Dad had so many children was that he was confident anything he and Mother teamed upon was sure to be a success.
Our house at Montclair, New Jersey, was a sort of school for scientific management and the removal of wasted motions — or “motion study,” as Dad and Mother named it.
Dad took moving pictures of us children washing dishes, so that he could determine how we could reduce our motions and thus hurry through the task. Each child who wanted extra pocket money put forward an offer saying what he would do the job for. The lowest bidder got the contract(合约).
Dad put process and work charts in the bathrooms. Every child old enough to write — and Dad expected his children to start writing at a young age — was required to sign their names on the charts in the morning after he had brushed his teeth, taken a bath, combed his hair, and made his bed. At night, each child had to weigh himself, mark the figure on a graph, and sign the process charts again after he had done his homework, washed his hands and face, and brushed his teeth. Mother wanted to have a place on the charts for saying prayers, but Dad said as far as he was concerned prayers were voluntary.
It was strict management, all right. Yes, at home or on the job, Dad was always the efficiency expert. He buttoned his vest from the bottom up, instead of from the top down, because the bottom-to-top process took him only three seconds, while the top-to-bottom took seven. He even used two shaving brushes to make his face smooth enough, because he found that by so doing he could cut seventeen seconds off his shaving time. For a while he tried shaving with two razors, but he finally gave that up.
“I can save forty-four seconds,” he complained, “but I wasted two minutes this morning putting this bandage on my throat.” It wasn’t the injured throat that really bothered him. It was the two minutes.
32. Why was the author’s house considered a sort of school
A. It had a team of twelve children there.
B. The children were taught how to work well in it.
C. The parents could teach their children better at home.
D. The parents could have the children’s daily activities recorded.
33. What is the purpose of signing the charts
A. To help to do things efficiently. B. To manage the big family effectively.
C. To look after the children better. D. To remind the children to obey the rules.
34. What did the father complain about one morning
A. He should have given up shaving. B. His bleeding throat bothered him.
C. He couldn’t shave with two razors. D. He failed to cut short his shaving time.
35. We can we infer from the text
A. The kids had to bid for everything they wanted.
B. The author took pride in his father’s management.
C. The couple were always troubled by their children.
D. The father’s work was to teach the children at home.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者兄弟姐妹多，父亲有一套严格的管理方法，非常有效。作者以他父亲的管理而自豪。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Our house at Montclair, New Jersey, was a sort of school for scientific management and the removal of wasted motions — or “motion study,” as Dad and Mother named it.”（我们在新泽西州蒙特克莱尔的房子是一所科学管理和消除浪费动作的学校——或者爸爸妈妈称之为“动作研究”）可知，作者的家被认为是一种学校是因为孩子们被教导如何在里面工作得很好。故B项正确。
【33题详解】

【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I can save forty-four seconds,” he complained, “but I wasted two minutes this morning putting this bandage on my throat.” It wasn’t the injured throat that really bothered him. It was the two minutes.”（“我可以节省44秒，”他抱怨道，“但是今天早上我浪费了两分钟把绷带缠在喉咙上。”真正困扰他不是受伤的喉咙。就是那两分钟）可知，父亲抱怨他没能缩短他的剃须时间。故D项正确。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“It was strict management, all right. Yes, at home or on the job, Dad was always the efficiency expert. He buttoned his vest from the bottom up, instead of from the top down, because the bottom-to-top process took him only three seconds, while the top-to-bottom took seven.”（这是严格的管理，好吧。是的，无论是在家里还是在工作中，爸爸总是效率专家。他从下往上扣背心，而不是从上往下扣，因为从下到上的过程只花了他三秒钟，而从上到下则花了七秒钟。）可知，作者以他父亲的管理而自豪。故B项正确。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了韩静在高中第一天的经历。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意：当韩静终于成为高中生的时候，她有点焦虑。at last意为“终于，最后”，为固定搭配。故填at。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意：因为她想给人留下好的第一印象，她就很担心能否交到朋友。根据空前的good first，空处应用名词。impression意为“印象”，空前有a，这里应用单数形式。故填impression。
【58题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意参考上题。分析句子结构，空处引导一个宾语从句，作about的宾语。根据句意，这里表示“她是否能够交到朋友”，所以应用whether引导，在从句中不充当任何成分，起连接作用，且有“是否”的含义。故填whether。
【59题详解】
考查代词。句意：上了高中第一节数学课后，她意识到尽管这门课很难，但她的大多数同学和老师都很友好并且乐于助人。空处应用形容词性物主代词her，作定语修饰空后的first maths class。故填her。

【64题详解】
考查不定式。句意：在高中有很多事情要探索，她感到更加自信，相信明天会是美好的一天。这里是with复合结构，with在这里表示“有”，且这里表示将来的事情，应用不定式。explore和a lot之间是动宾关系，且explore和逻辑主语she之间是主谓关系，所以应用不定式的一般式。故填to explore。
【65题详解】
考查时态。句意参考上题。and连接两个并列的谓语。根据and前的felt，这里应用动词的过去式。故填believed。

67. 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。
I was angry about my father in the first year of college, because he didn’t care about my feelings all.
One day I had a serious quarrel with him. I was fed up with his direction and correction. How could he interfere with my life and my study plans How could he understand the importance of my university activities The only thing that he cared about was my academic performance! He didn’t understand my world and I didn’t understand his, either.
I stormed out and sighed all the way to school. Suddenly I realized that I didn’t have the assignment that was due: a thought card. This class was taught by Dr. Sidney B. Simon. The thought card was the admission ticket to his class. He would return them to us with his comment.
My first thought card read, “All that glitters(发光) is not gold.” He commented, “What does this quote mean to you Is it significant ” Obviously, he was taking it seriously. I surely didn’t want to reveal myself to him.
The week progressed. Dr. Simon’s class was quite brilliant. He challenged us to think and come up with our own responses. But I had no handling strategies to deal with it.
The second Tuesday came. I wrote on my card, “The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.” The next day the card came back: “You seem to need a listener. Is this important to your life ” I couldn’t remember a teacher caring personally about me since primary school.
With all these memories filling my mind, I raced to class. Just outside tho door, I took a card and wrote, “I have the most terrible Dad of the world!” Then I dashed in. Looking up at me, he reached out for the card, and I took my seat. The moment I sat down, I felt terrible. I didn’t mean to let that out. That night I had difficiulty sleeping. What if he contacted my dad

On Wednesday morning I came to class with mixed feelings.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】On Wednesday morning I came to class with mixed feelings. At first, Dr. Sidney B. Simon. did not return the card to me. I sat in my usual seat, opening the book with worry and fear. I thought that Dr. Sidney B. Simon must have told my father about this. What was waiting for me was another more severe argument. After class, as I was walking to the door of the classroom, it was Dr. Sidney B. Simon who was calling my name. Then he told me that he would be my listener and exchanged the card with the words “Good medicine is hard, but good advice is hard to hear”.
I held the card tightly, thinking about his words. I was wondering whether I should tell my father what had happened these days. I found my father waiting for me at the school gate with the gift I had always wanted. That day, I walked home with my father. The setting sun shone on us, casting our shadows on the road. Cars of various colors passed by us, but they did not affect our conversation. We talked a lot that day, and it seemed that the journey from home to school had also been shortened.
