【原文】It was the first day of our two-week family vacation to Europe. A year ago when my mom’s 43th birthday was coming, she said to us, “What about travelling in Europe ” She wasn’t interested in parties, new cars or celebrations. She wanted to travel.
Of course, my brother Michael and I were excited when she put forward the idea. Michael, 23, was finishing up an engineering degree. And I had already borrowed a lot of money for my college education. We weren’t going to be able to have a trip like this on our own for quite some time. Obviously, we thought this was the best idea our mother had ever had.
But we received phone calls and emails from my mother every day as the date of travelling was near. “Don’t forget to make copies of your passports.” “Make sure to call the bank.” “And seriously, Cara, pack sweaters. You’re going to be cold.” It had been seven years after I left home. And except during the holidays, my brother and I hadn’t spent much time together with our family for a long time.
第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Inventions born out of love
Garbage Disposers
John W. Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. Hammes got the idea after watching his wife spend time wrapping food in newspaper and throwing it out. The InSinkErator is a device, installed under a kitchen sink between the sink’s drain and the trap. The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough generally less than 2 mm in diameter—to pass through the plumbing.
Surgical Gloves
William Stewart Halsted, M.D. (1852-1922) was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. Known for his strict adherence to sterile (无菌的) working conditions. Halsted invented rubber gloves that allowed his colleagues to lessen the transfer of germs during their work. Yet the initial reason why he created them is more romantic than you would think. Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin disease during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage.
Band-Aids
When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. Dickson, a cotton buyer for Johnson & Johnson, according to the company’s website, decided to invent a temporary adhesive bandage for his wife. His creation became the Band-Aid we all know and use today.
Magnetic (磁性的) Shirt Buttons
Maura Horton’s husband, Don, was a football coach who had Parkinson’s disease. One day, after Don struggled to button his shirt before a game, Horton decided there needed to be a better clothing option for people suffering from a disability. So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012. These buttons will finally allow everyone to dress and undress themselves efficiently.
21. What’s the function of the InSinkErator
A. It can clear sink pipes. B. It can recycle kitchen waste.
C. It can extend the service life of kitchen sinks. D. It can remove food waste easily.
22. What can we learn about William’s surgical gloves
A. They made William known worldwide.
B. They assisted in the treatment of skin diseases.
C. They were invented with the aid of William’s colleagues.
D. They were originally intended for William’s wife.
23. Which of the following is the latest invention
A. Magnetic shirt buttons. B. Surgical gloves.
C. The InSinkErator. D. Band-Aids.
【答案】21. D 22. D 23. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种发明，这四种发明都是源于发明人对伴侣的爱。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough generally less than 2 mm in diameter—to pass through the plumbing.(该处理装置将食物垃圾撕成足够小的碎片，通常直径小于2毫米，以便通过管道。)”可知，InSinkErator用来将食物垃圾撕成足够小的碎片，以便更轻松地清除食物垃圾。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin disease during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage.(得知护士Caroline在工作中患有皮肤病后，Halsted特意为她发明了这副手套，并在婚后送给她作为礼物。)”可知，手术手套最初是Halsted特意为他的妻子发明的。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据这四种发明的发明时间：根据最后一段“So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012.(因此，Horton在2012年设计了一款带有磁性纽扣的衬衫。)”可知，选项A“Magnetic shirt buttons.(磁性衬衫纽扣)”的发明时间为2012年；根据第二段“William Stewart Halsted, M.D. (1852-1922) was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”.( William Stewart Halsted医学博士(1852-1922)是美国著名的外科医生，常被称为“现代外科之父”。)”可推断，选项B“Surgical Gloves(手术手套)”的发明时间为1852到1922之间；根据第一段“John W. Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935.(来自威斯康星州的建筑师John W. Hammes于1935年设计了InSinkErator。)”可知，选项C“The InSinkErator.”发明于1935年；根据文章第三段“When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in.( 20世纪20年代，新泽西州的Josephine Knight Dickson在为家人做饭时不断割伤自己，她的丈夫Earle Dickson介入了。)”可知，选项D“Band-Aids.”发明于20世纪20年代。由此判断，四种发明中，最近的是选项A。故选A。
B
Both of my parents worked full time when I was a little girl，so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price Is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.
When I got older and started going to school，we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me，though，because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake cakes. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing：she never seemed to need the recipes（食谱）but everything she made tasted delicious.
At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch，even though I didn’t understand what she was doing. As I got older，she let me help with the easy parts，such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs，I felt like I had found complete pleasure.
At last，my parents decided that I could take care of myself，and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking，however，stayed with me. I started baking by myself，and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes，more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes，and whenever I got to a thorny part，I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.
My grandmother passed away ten years ago，but I still think of her every day. Last week，I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies，cookies，and my favorite，lemon pie. As I looked through the pages，I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking，but about life.
24. The passage is mainly developed by .
A. analyzing causes B. making comparisons
C. following the time order D. examining differences
25. While helping her grandmother bake，the author .
A. found it interesting B. turned out to be a troublemaker
C. hoped to make a living by baking D. regretted missing the game shows
26. What does the underlined word “thorny” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Basic. B. Common.
C. Special. D. Difficult.
27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To describe her childhood memories. B. To show her good baking skills.
C. To remember her grandmother. D. To talk about her happy family life.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】

C
When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”
And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek, already two weeks late.”
And then, in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan , was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
28. Why was the author’s mother poorly served
A. She was unable to speak good English. B. She was often misunderstood.
C. She was not clearly heard. D. She was not very polite.
29. After the author made the phone call, .
A. they forgave the stockbroker B. they failed to get the check
C. they went to New York immediately D. they spoke to their boss at once
30. What does the author think of her mother’s English now
A. It confuses her. B. It embarrasses her.
C. It helps her understand the world. D. It helps her tolerate rude people.
31. We can infer from the passage that Chinese English ________ .
A. is clear and natural to non-native speakers B. is vivid and direct to non-native speakers
C. has a very bad reputation in America D. may bring inconvenience in America
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的母亲因为英文不好经常受到不公平的待遇，但是现在作者认为她母亲的英语帮助了她理解这个世界。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly.(因为她的英语，她经常受到不公平的对待)”可知，作者母亲的中式英语使她经常受到不公正地对待。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二、三段“If I don’t receive the check immediately ,I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan , was shouting to his boss in her broken English.(如果我不能马上收到支票，我下星期在纽约时就得和你们经理谈谈。接下来的一个星期，我们来到了纽约。当我满脸通红地坐在那里时，我的母亲，真正的谭太太，正在用她那蹩脚的英语向他的老板喊叫)”可知，第二周作者和妈妈最终去了纽约，当面和老板理论。由此推知，打完电话他们还是没有收到支票，故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.(正是这种语言塑造了我看待事物、表达思想和理解世界的方式)”可知，正是母亲的英语塑造了作者看事情的方式，帮助作者表达观点和理解世界。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly.(因为她的英语，她经常受到不公平的对待)”可知，在美国中式英语会带来不便。故选D项。

Modern technology has a strong influence on many things we do. In fact, technology is shaping almost every part of our day-to-day existence, including education. Ashok Goel is a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Every term over 300 graduate students take his class on artificial intelligence(AI). The students never meet in person. All of the classes take place online—through a website.
Having hundreds of students in a class means Ashok Goel has to answer thousands of questions. He has eight teaching assistants to help him. But even that is not enough to give all the students the help they need. So, in January, he decided to try an experiment. At the start of the spring 2016 semester, he added a new member to his teaching team: Jill Watson. She was able to answer questions faster than most other teaching assistants. And she was available 24 hours a day. It was only at the end of the semester that Goel’s students learned Watson’s secret: she was not a real person. Jill Watson is an AI computer program. Goel says only two students came close to predicting Watson’s true identity. He was worried about telling his students because he thought they would not like being part of the experiment. But once they learned Watson’s identity, they became very excited. “Then, you know what happened They not only asked that question about Jill, ‘Is she an AI ’ Once the identity of Jill was revealed, they also asked if I was an AI.” he said.
Goel now uses Watson in two other classes, but still doesn’t tell his students which of his teaching assistants is a computer program. He hopes this technology will make it easier for teachers to create their programs to use in and outside the classroom.
32. How does Goel give his students help
A. Through books. B. By writing to them.
C. By face-to-face teaching. D. Through the Internet.
33. Why did Goel decide to try an experiment
A. Because some questions were difficult for assistants to answer.
B. Because he wanted to improve students self-study ability.
C. Because he was too tired to answer those questions.
D. Because it was hard to answer so many students’ questions.
34. What’s the students’ response to Jill Watson
A. Being surprised. B. Being indifferent.
C. Being excited. D. Being shocked.
35. What’s the best title of this passage
A. Technology Making Education Easier
B. Ashok Goel, a Professor Shaping Education
C. Jill Watson: a Real Teaching Assistant
D. The Internet Has a Strong Impact on Our Life
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】

Do your home work.
Homework, such as assignments and at-home reading are where you will find the rest of the information that will be on tests, so doing this homework is important. ____39____
Do practice tests.
Ask your teacher or go online and print a few practice tests. And you can take a practice test. ____40____ Knowing your weak spots before a test is vital!

【36题详解】
根据上文“Have you got an important test coming up, where you really want to stand out Or do you generally want to improve your grades ”可知是两个问题。又D选项中“Needless to say, the answer to both these questions is yes.”的“both these questions”和上文的两个问题相呼应。故选D项。
【37题详解】

第二节(满分25分)读后续写
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。
Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf. Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn’t know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see that it’s going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I’m sorry. Do I know you ” Eliza asked.
“I’m sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend,” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this woman be Betty, her grandmother’s childhood friend
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 2:
The old woman agreed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then the old woman introduced herself, “My name is Betty. I’m originally from Poland, but left there when I was thirteen. And I have been living here in Washington DC in America ever since.” Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother’s best friend floating into her mind. Assuming that the old woman must be her grandmother’s best friend, she said, “Betty, would you mind coming with me right now I need to show you somebody.”
The old woman agreed. Soon they left the restaurant after a quick dinner. On the way, Betty felt her heart was thumping with excitement. She couldn’t wait to see her long-lost friend. Arriving at Scout’s home, Betty eagerly rang the door bell. The moment Scout opened the door, she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her childhood friend standing in front of her. Both of them were in tears, hugging each other tightly. Time seemed to cease to witness the great moment.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Scout和Betty从小是好朋友，但是因为战争原因 Scout必须举家搬去美国，因此她们请求父母给他们买一对围巾作为友谊的象征，自此以后她们不再见面，但是依然保存着围巾，直到一天 Scout的孙女带着她的围巾在餐馆的时候，遇到了Betty，Betty认出围巾，由此Scout和Betty通过丝绸围巾最终重逢。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“然后老太太自我介绍说：“我的名字叫Betty。”可知，第一段这个老夫人作了自我介绍。所以应该写：Betty讲述自己为什么也来到了美国，以及Eliza告诉她要带她去见一个人。
②由第二段首句内容“这个老太太同意了。”可知，第二段可描写Betty跟着Eliza去了她的家，见到了童年时的朋友，两人非常激动，不敢相信。
2.续写线索：介绍——回忆——引见——陪回家——相聚——感动
3.词汇激活

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Inventions born out of love
Garbage Disposers
John W. Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. Hammes got the idea after watching his wife spend time wrapping food in newspaper and throwing it out. The InSinkErator is a device, installed under a kitchen sink between the sink’s drain and the trap. The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough generally less than 2 mm in diameter—to pass through the plumbing.
Surgical Gloves
William Stewart Halsted, M.D. (1852-1922) was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. Known for his strict adherence to sterile (无菌的) working conditions. Halsted invented rubber gloves that allowed his colleagues to lessen the transfer of germs during their work. Yet the initial reason why he created them is more romantic than you would think. Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin disease during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage.
Band-Aids
When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. Dickson, a cotton buyer for Johnson & Johnson, according to the company’s website, decided to invent a temporary adhesive bandage for his wife. His creation became the Band-Aid we all know and use today.
Magnetic (磁性的) Shirt Buttons
Maura Horton’s husband, Don, was a football coach who had Parkinson’s disease. One day, after Don struggled to button his shirt before a game, Horton decided there needed to be a better clothing option for people suffering from a disability. So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012. These buttons will finally allow everyone to dress and undress themselves efficiently.
21. What’s the function of the InSinkErator
A. It can clear sink pipes. B. It can recycle kitchen waste.
C. It can extend the service life of kitchen sinks. D. It can remove food waste easily.
22. What can we learn about William’s surgical gloves
A. They made William known worldwide.
B. They assisted in the treatment of skin diseases.
C. They were invented with the aid of William’s colleagues.
D. They were originally intended for William’s wife.
23. Which of the following is the latest invention
A. Magnetic shirt buttons. B. Surgical gloves.
C. The InSinkErator. D. Band-Aids.
B
Both of my parents worked full time when I was a little girl，so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price Is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.
When I got older and started going to school，we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me，though，because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake cakes. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing：she never seemed to need the recipes（食谱）but everything she made tasted delicious.
At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch，even though I didn’t understand what she was doing. As I got older，she let me help with the easy parts，such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs，I felt like I had found complete pleasure.
At last，my parents decided that I could take care of myself，and my grandmother stopped coming over every day The love of baking，however，stayed with me. I started baking by myself，and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes，more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes，and whenever I got to a thorny part，I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.
My grandmother passed away ten years ago，but I still think of her every day. Last week，I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies，cookies，and my favorite，lemon pie. As I looked through the pages，I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking，but about life.
24. The passage is mainly developed by .
A. analyzing causes B. making comparisons
C. following the time order D. examining differences
25. While helping her grandmother bake，the author .
A. found it interesting B. turned out to be a troublemaker
C. hoped to make a living by baking D. regretted missing the game shows
26. What does the underlined word “thorny” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Basic. B. Common.
C. Special. D. Difficult.
27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To describe her childhood memories. B. To show her good baking skills.
C. To remember her grandmother. D. To talk about her happy family life.
C
When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”
And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek, already two weeks late.”
And then, in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan , was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

Modern technology has a strong influence on many things we do. In fact, technology is shaping almost every part of our day-to-day existence, including education. Ashok Goel is a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Every term over 300 graduate students take his class on artificial intelligence(AI). The students never meet in person. All of the classes take place online—through a website.
Having hundreds of students in a class means Ashok Goel has to answer thousands of questions. He has eight teaching assistants to help him. But even that is not enough to give all the students the help they need. So, in January, he decided to try an experiment. At the start of the spring 2016 semester, he added a new member to his teaching team: Jill Watson. She was able to answer questions faster than most other teaching assistants. And she was available 24 hours a day. It was only at the end of the semester that Goel’s students learned Watson’s secret: she was not a real person. Jill Watson is an AI computer program. Goel says only two students came close to predicting Watson’s true identity. He was worried about telling his students because he thought they would not like being part of the experiment. But once they learned Watson’s identity, they became very excited. “Then, you know what happened They not only asked that question about Jill, ‘Is she an AI ’ Once the identity of Jill was revealed, they also asked if I was an AI.” he said.
Goel now uses Watson in two other classes, but still doesn’t tell his students which of his teaching assistants is a computer program. He hopes this technology will make it easier for teachers to create their programs to use in and outside the classroom.
32. How does Goel give his students help
A. Through books. B. By writing to them.
C. By face-to-face teaching. D. Through the Internet.
33. Why did Goel decide to try an experiment
A. Because some questions were difficult for assistants to answer.
B. Because he wanted to improve students self-study ability.
C. Because he was too tired to answer those questions.
D. Because it was hard to answer so many students’ questions.
34. What’s the students’ response to Jill Watson
A. Being surprised. B. Being indifferent.
C Being excited. D. Being shocked.
35. What’s the best title of this passage
A. Technology Making Education Easier
B. Ashok Goel, a Professor Shaping Education
C. Jill Watson: a Real Teaching Assistant
D. The Internet Has a Strong Impact on Our Life

Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf. Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn’t know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see that it’s going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I’m sorry. Do I know you ” Eliza asked.
“I’m sorry dear, but you remind me of my best friend,” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open.
