At 6 feet, 7 inches, Will Allen was a natural at basketball. He received scholarship offers from more than a hundred colleges. He finally chose the University of Miami.
Going away to college meant leaving the family farm. He remembered how hard that life on the farm had been. Now that his life was full of possibilities, he swore he would never go back to farming.
After college, Allen began a pro-basketball career in Belgium, where, ironically (讽刺地), he rediscovered farming. He found the farmers there farmed the way his parents had back home, caring for the land without using chemicals and fertilizers.
Allen and his family moved back to the United States in 1977 after he retired from basketball. They settled in Milwaukee, where his wife’s family owned a farm. In 1993, Allen bought the last remaining farm in the city of Milwaukee, where he began his career as an urban farmer. Later he formed his own organization Growing Power, one of the world’s top urban agricultural organizations.
Allen also travelled across the United States, Africa, and Central Asia to help people grow food more efficiently in ways that fit in with their own culture. “Food is in short supply all over the world right now,” he says. “A lot of people are hungry. We need to grow food everywhere we can—in backyards and side yards, on rooftops, and even in buildings.”
He has spoken about urban agriculture around the world and is currently designing a vertical farm which is a new way to help feed more people in cities. “My main mission is to bring food into people’s lives and train people how to grow food. That continues to be important to me. ” said Allen. He said so, and he did so.
“Growing food is powerful,” Allen says. “It can change the world!”
4. What do we know about Will Allen
A. He wished to get away from his family. B. He had a talent for playing basketball.
C. He got used to the hard life on the farm. D. He was admitted to only several universities.
5. What is Allen’s suggestion on farming in the city according to Paragraph 5
A. Grow what is right. B. Everyone should take action.
C. Focus on environment. D. Plant wherever possible.
6. Which of the following best describes Will Allen
A. Ambitious. B. Fortunate.
C. Traditional. D. Adventurous.
7. What can be the best title of this text
A. Childhood Dream Leads to Future Career B. Urban Agriculture Holds Great Promise
C. Give up Basketball and Take up Farming D. Return to Farming and Grow Food in the City
C
“An aquaponics (鱼菜共生) system grows both fish and plants that can be harvested sustainably (可持续地),” said David Landkamer, an aquaculture specialist. “It’s an elegant system.”
Here’s how it works: Fish are typically raised in indoor tanks or outdoor ponds, where they produce waste. The water with the waste from the tank flows to a planting tray where plants grow in the water without soil. The waste is poisonous to the fish but is a rich fertilizer for the plants. As the plants absorb the nutrients, the water is purified for the fish. The clean water can then be recycled to the fish tank. Most importantly, because you can’t use chemicals or fertilizers that would harm the fish, it’s a natural organic production system.
“You can grow just about any kind of plant,” Landkamer said. Any leafy greens such as lettuce, kale, Swiss chard and arugula are the easiest to plant. You can also grow herbs, cucumbers, snow peas, eggplants, tomatoes, cabbages, cauliflower, peppers, beans, red onions and even potatoes.
“Aquaponics, which began in ancient China and Mexico, is gaining popularity around the world as a means of local food production,” Landkamer said. He regularly fields questions from people who want to start small-scale, backyard aquaponics operations or even commercial-scale aquaponics farms. “It is possible for hobbyists to start out with aquaponics kits available online and at stores,” Landkamer said.
Depending on which species of fish you choose, you may need to add a heater of some kind to keep the water temperatures just right for the fish and plants. “Aquaponics farmers often use inexpensive heat supplies such as solar greenhouses or hot compost (堆肥),” he said.
“These systems require monitoring to make sure everything is in balance and running smoothly,” Landkamer said. “You have to pay attention and see how well the fish are feeding, how well the plants are growing and see whether the water is circulating properly.”
8. What is David Landkamer’s attitude toward aquaponics
A. Unclear. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Appreciative.
9. What is the main advantage of this aquaponics system
A. It can be set indoors. B. It produces green food.
C. It does no harm to the fish. D. It needs no soil to grow plants.
10. What does the underlined word “fields” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Looks up. B. Keeps off. C. Deals with. D. Goes beyond.
11 What can we know about this system from the last paragraph
A. It runs automatically. B. It consumes no energy.
C Every part of it must work properly. D. Its temperature should be high enough.
D
El Nino is a weather pattern that brings hotter temperatures and less rainfall than usual. It is caused by warmer surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean leading to a change in wind movements. Warmer ocean temperatures lead to more rainfall over that part of the ocean and less rain over Northern Australia.
An El Nino weather pattern has been declared in Australia for the first time in seven years and experts say people should get ready for extreme heat. The Bureau of Meteorology（欧洲气象局） said the country would sweat through hot and dry weather for the rest of 2023 thanks to El Nino and another weather pattern called a positive Indian Ocean Dipole, or IOD, which relates to ocean temperatures.
Both weather patterns have already brought hotter and drier weather to southern and eastern Australia while making heatwaves, droughts, bushfires and having effects on coral reefs much more likely.
Australia’s last El Nino was in the summer of 2015 before cooler, wetter La Nina weather took over. The Bureau said it was very likely El Nino would last the whole Australian summer.
“When a positive IOD and El Nino occur together, their drying effect is typically stronger and more widespread across Australia,” the Bureau warned.
The news comes after an unusually long period of warm spring weather, with some places recording temperatures 15°C higher than the average. A disastrous fire warning was announced for the NSW south coast on Tuesday as firefighters battled against the fire in the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales.
Senior Leeturer in Climate Science at the University of Melbourne Dr Andrew King said the recent hot weather “is a warning of the kind of extremes we’re likely to see more of over the next few months”.
12. What information can we get from Paragraph 1
A. Something about El Nino. B. Ways to avoid El Nino.
C. Reasons of global warming. D. Areas tending to have El Nino.
13. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that El Nino ____________.
A. happens every 7 years B. occurs only in Australia
C. causes extreme weather D. is often accompanied by IOD
14. What is one of the predictions of the Bureau of Meteorology
A. Southern Australia will suffer the most. B. More places of Australia will be affected.
C. This El Nino will last for the whole year. D. It will become wetter and cooler next year.
15. What does Dr Andrew King mean in the last paragraph
A. Things could be worse. B. People have got prepared.
C. Extreme weather will pass. D. El Nino will become weak.

Finding the Balance
Improving the quality of your diet has been shown to be beneficial, at any age. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to avoid all over processed foods. ___16___ Here are a few ways to move the needle toward a less-processed diet.
Read labels. It may sound obvious, but you might be surprised at the wide variety of ingredients（成分） and nutrients you'll find in similar-sounding items. The general classification of food is helpful in a broad sense, but when you get down to specific food choices, it may not be clear where the line between simply-processed and over-processed lies. ___17___
Play a mind game. Highly-processed foods are often engineered to attract you and make you want to eat more and more. ___18___ But becoming conscious of the fact that your taste buds（味蕾） are being controlled can be a powerful tool in encouraging you to make healthier choices. Reminding yourself that a bag of chips is unlikely to satisfy may make you decide to choose for something else instead.
Switch your drink. ___19___ And if plain water seems too boring, try adding a few 100 percent fruit juice, ice cubes, fresh lemon, or mixture of fruits to make them a little more exciting.
Be portion aware. De-processing your diet is not an all-or-nothing challenge. ___20___ For example, if you're attached to your favorite box of cookies, count out a smaller serving of them and round it out with a less-processed food like a slice of cheese or some fruits.
A. You can choose to downsize your portion.
B. Highly-processed diet contains more calories.
C. If your choice is a sweetened drink, make a change.
D. Less-processed foods may simply be less appealing.
E. And even within the over-processed foods, there's difference.
F. In some people, the desire for them can be taken to extreme.
G. Rather, minimize your intake and increase the amount of unprocessed foods.

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。
Our three kids were all under age five. We’d recently moved to the suburbs, and I’d stopped working to be a stay-at-home mom. Most of our friends lived outside our immediate community and didn’t have children. This all added up to a nonexistent social life for my husband and me.
I needed to fix this, so I became a room parent in my son’s kindergarten class, partly to spend time with him, but also to make more friends within the school community. I also signed my son up for weekend soccer. While those activities gave me the opportunity to socialize with other moms, it was challenging to cultivate friendships. I only saw my fellow room parents a few times a -year, usually during class parties. On the soccer sidelines, I found it impossible to watch the game, keep track of my young children, and maintain conversations with other parents at the same time.
I desired deeper interactions with the smart, interesting moms I saw around school. But we all led busy lives. How could I make this happen
“You should throw a party,” suggested a friend who happened to be a professional event planner. “I can’t do that. I don’t really know these women,” I replied quickly. I hardly even had my closest friends over to my house. The thought of hosting an adult party terrified me.
“Just invite a few people that you’ve talked to and ask them to bring along a friend. You’ll meet even more people that way. It will be fun,” my event-planner friend said. I ran this idea by my husband, and I was certain he’d agree it wouldn’t work. “Great idea,” he said. “I’ll stay upstairs with the kids, and the party can take place on the main floor.”
I picked a date and set up an electronic invitation, making a guest list of moms from my son’s soccer team, my fellow room moms, and a few other moms I’d started saying “hi” to at school pick-up. But I didn’t hit Send. I started to talk myself out of it. There were so many reasons this wouldn’t work.
注意：
1. 续写词数为150左右；

With four mess makers in my household, I imagined many “what ifs”.

At 6 feet, 7 inches, Will Allen was a natural at basketball. He received scholarship offers from more than a hundred colleges. He finally chose the University of Miami.
Going away to college meant leaving the family farm. He remembered how hard that life on the farm had been. Now that his life was full of possibilities, he swore he would never go back to farming.
After college, Allen began a pro-basketball career in Belgium, where, ironically (讽刺地), he rediscovered farming. He found the farmers there farmed the way his parents had back home, caring for the land without using chemicals and fertilizers.
Allen and his family moved back to the United States in 1977 after he retired from basketball. They settled in Milwaukee, where his wife’s family owned a farm. In 1993, Allen bought the last remaining farm in the city of Milwaukee, where he began his career as an urban farmer. Later he formed his own organization Growing Power, one of the world’s top urban agricultural organizations.
Allen also travelled across the United States, Africa, and Central Asia to help people grow food more efficiently in ways that fit in with their own culture. “Food is in short supply all over the world right now,” he says. “A lot of people are hungry. We need to grow food everywhere we can—in backyards and side yards, on rooftops, and even in buildings.”
He has spoken about urban agriculture around the world and is currently designing a vertical farm which is a new way to help feed more people in cities. “My main mission is to bring food into people’s lives and train people how to grow food. That continues to be important to me. ” said Allen. He said so, and he did so.
“Growing food is powerful,” Allen says. “It can change the world!”

“An aquaponics (鱼菜共生) system grows both fish and plants that can be harvested sustainably (可持续地),” said David Landkamer, an aquaculture specialist. “It’s an elegant system.”
Here’s how it works: Fish are typically raised in indoor tanks or outdoor ponds, where they produce waste. The water with the waste from the tank flows to a planting tray where plants grow in the water without soil. The waste is poisonous to the fish but is a rich fertilizer for the plants. As the plants absorb the nutrients, the water is purified for the fish. The clean water can then be recycled to the fish tank. Most importantly, because you can’t use chemicals or fertilizers that would harm the fish, it’s a natural organic production system.
“You can grow just about any kind of plant,” Landkamer said. Any leafy greens such as lettuce, kale, Swiss chard and arugula are the easiest to plant. You can also grow herbs, cucumbers, snow peas, eggplants, tomatoes, cabbages, cauliflower, peppers, beans, red onions and even potatoes.
“Aquaponics, which began in ancient China and Mexico, is gaining popularity around the world as a means of local food production,” Landkamer said. He regularly fields questions from people who want to start small-scale, backyard aquaponics operations or even commercial-scale aquaponics farms. “It is possible for hobbyists to start out with aquaponics kits available online and at stores,” Landkamer said.
Depending on which species of fish you choose, you may need to add a heater of some kind to keep the water temperatures just right for the fish and plants. “Aquaponics farmers often use inexpensive heat supplies such as solar greenhouses or hot compost (堆肥),” he said.
“These systems require monitoring to make sure everything is in balance and running smoothly,” Landkamer said. “You have to pay attention and see how well the fish are feeding, how well the plants are growing and see whether the water is circulating properly.”
8. What is David Landkamer’s attitude toward aquaponics
A. Unclear. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Appreciative.
9. What is the main advantage of this aquaponics system
A. It can be set indoors. B. It produces green food.
C. It does no harm to the fish. D. It needs no soil to grow plants.
10. What does the underlined word “fields” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Looks up. B. Keeps off. C. Deals with. D. Goes beyond.
11. What can we know about this system from the last paragraph
A. It runs automatically. B. It consumes no energy.
C. Every part of it must work properly. D. Its temperature should be high enough.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C

【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“…questions from people who want to start small-scale, backyard aquaponics operations or even commercial-scale aquaponics farms.(……来自那些想要开始小规模的后院鱼菜共生操作，甚至是商业规模的鱼菜共生农场的人。)”可知，David Landkamer从人们那里接到关于鱼菜共生系统的问题，说明他需要处理这些问题。故划线词与C选项“Deals with(解决)”为同义词。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““These systems require monitoring to make sure everything is in balance and running smoothly,”Landkamer said. “You have to pay attention and see how well the fish are feeding, how well the plants are growing and see whether the water is circulating properly.”(Landkamer 说：“这些系统需要监控，以确保一切都处于平衡状态，运行顺利。”“你必须注意，看看鱼吃得好不好，植物长得好不好，看看水的循环是否正常。”)”可知，Landkamer 认为，这个系统需要监测以确保一切都平衡和顺利，需要关注鱼是否吃得好，植物是否生长良好，水是否循环正常。这意味着系统的每个部分都必须正常工作。故选C。
D
El Nino is a weather pattern that brings hotter temperatures and less rainfall than usual. It is caused by warmer surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean leading to a change in wind movements. Warmer ocean temperatures lead to more rainfall over that part of the ocean and less rain over Northern Australia.
An El Nino weather pattern has been declared in Australia for the first time in seven years and experts say people should get ready for extreme heat. The Bureau of Meteorology（欧洲气象局） said the country would sweat through hot and dry weather for the rest of 2023 thanks to El Nino and another weather pattern called a positive Indian Ocean Dipole, or IOD, which relates to ocean temperatures.
Both weather patterns have already brought hotter and drier weather to southern and eastern Australia while making heatwaves, droughts, bushfires and having effects on coral reefs much more likely.
Australia’s last El Nino was in the summer of 2015 before cooler, wetter La Nina weather took over. The Bureau said it was very likely El Nino would last the whole Australian summer.
“When a positive IOD and El Nino occur together, their drying effect is typically stronger and more widespread across Australia,” the Bureau warned.
The news comes after an unusually long period of warm spring weather, with some places recording temperatures 15°C higher than the average. A disastrous fire warning was announced for the NSW south coast on Tuesday as firefighters battled against the fire in the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales.
Senior Leeturer in Climate Science at the University of Melbourne Dr Andrew King said the recent hot weather “is a warning of the kind of extremes we’re likely to see more of over the next few months”.
12. What information can we get from Paragraph 1
A. Something about El Nino. B. Ways to avoid El Nino.
C. Reasons of global warming. D. Areas tending to have El Nino.
13. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that El Nino ____________.
A. happens every 7 years B. occurs only in Australia
C. causes extreme weather D. is often accompanied by IOD
14. What is one of the predictions of the Bureau of Meteorology
A Southern Australia will suffer the most. B. More places of Australia will be affected.
C. This El Nino will last for the whole year. D. It will become wetter and cooler next year.
15. What does Dr Andrew King mean in the last paragraph
A. Things could be worse. B. People have got prepared.
C. Extreme weather will pass. D. El Nino will become weak.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了澳大利亚自2015年以来首次宣布出现厄尔尼诺天气模式，这将导致更炎热的温度和较少的降雨量。这是由于中太平洋和东太平洋地区温暖的海洋表面温度导致风的运动发生变化所致。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“El Nino is a weather pattern that brings hotter temperatures and less rainfall than usual. It is caused by warmer surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean leading to a change in wind movements. (厄尔尼诺是一种天气模式，它带来比平时更高的温度和更少的降雨。它是由热带太平洋中部和东部表面温度升高导致风运动变化引起的。)”可知，从第一段可以得知一些关于厄尔尼诺的信息，包括它带来的高温和降水量减少，以及它的原因。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“An El Nino weather pattern has been declared in Australia for the first time in seven years and experts say people should get ready for extreme heat. (澳大利亚7年来首次出现厄尔尼诺现象，专家称人们应该极端高温做好准备。)”可知，从第二段可以得出厄尔尼诺会导致极端天气。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Both weather patterns have already brought hotter and drier weather to southern and eastern Australia while making heatwaves, droughts, bushfires and having effects on coral reefs much more likely.( 这两种天气模式已经给澳大利亚南部和东部带来了更炎热、更干燥的天气，同时也使热浪、干旱、森林大火和对珊瑚礁的影响更有可能发生。)”可知，第三段可以得出气象局的预测是澳大利亚更多地区将受到影响。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Senior Leeturer in Climate Science at the University of Melbourne Dr Andrew King said the recent hot weather “ is a warning of the kind of extremes we're likely to see more of over the next few months”.(墨尔本大学气候科学高级讲师安德鲁·金博士表示，最近的炎热天气“是对未来几个月我们可能会看到更多极端天气的警告”。)”可知，安德鲁·金博士表示最近的高温天气是对接下来几个月可能更加极端天气的一个警告。由此推知，他的意思是情况可能会变得更糟。故选A。

Finding the Balance
Improving the quality of your diet has been shown to be beneficial, at any age. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to avoid all over processed foods. ___16___ Here are a few ways to move the needle toward a less-processed diet.
Read labels. It may sound obvious, but you might be surprised at the wide variety of ingredients（成分） and nutrients you'll find in similar-sounding items. The general classification of food is helpful in a broad sense, but when you get down to specific food choices, it may not be clear where the line between simply-processed and over-processed lies. ___17___
Play a mind game. Highly-processed foods are often engineered to attract you and make you want to eat more and more. ___18___ But becoming conscious of the fact that your taste buds（味蕾） are being controlled can be a powerful tool in encouraging you to make healthier choices. Reminding yourself that a bag of chips is unlikely to satisfy may make you decide to choose for something else instead.
Switch your drink. ___19___ And if plain water seems too boring, try adding a few 100 percent fruit juice, ice cubes, fresh lemon, or mixture of fruits to make them a little more exciting.
Be portion aware. De-processing your diet is not an all-or-nothing challenge. ___20___ For example, if you're attached to your favorite box of cookies, count out a smaller serving of them and round it out with a less-processed food like a slice of cheese or some fruits.
A. You can choose to downsize your portion.
B. Highly-processed diet contains more calories.
C. If your choice is a sweetened drink, make a change.
D. Less-processed foods may simply be less appealing.
E. And even within the over-processed foods, there's difference.
F. In some people, the desire for them can be taken to extreme.
G. Rather, minimize your intake and increase the amount of unprocessed foods.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了改善饮食质量对健康的重要性，并提出了一些方法来逐渐过渡到不过度加工的饮食。其中包括仔细阅读标签、意识到高度加工食品对个体的控制、改变饮品选择以及控制食物摄入量等。
【16题详解】
根据前文“That doesn't necessarily mean you have to avoid all over processed foods (这并不一定意味着你必须避免所有过度加工的食品)”可知，对于过度加工食物，并不意味着你必须避免所有的，故设空处应该对过度加工的食物如何应对提出解决方法。G选项“Rather, minimize your intake and increase the amount of unprocessed foods.(相反，减少你的摄入量，增加未加工食品的数量。)”与前文构成转折，指出对于过度加工的食物要减少摄入，对未加工的食物增加摄入，因此G选项符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据前文“ The general classification of food is helpful in a broad sense, but when you get down to specific food choices, it may not be clear where the line between simply-processed and over-processed lies. (从广义上讲，食物的一般分类是有帮助的，但当你深入到具体的食物选择时，可能不清楚简单加工和过度加工之间的界限在哪里。)”可知，此处强调人们不能分清楚简单加工和过度加工之间的界限；E选项“And even within the over-processed foods, there's difference.(即使在过度加工的食品中，也有区别。)”承接前文，构成递进关系，指出即使是在过度加工食品中也是有区别的，这都是人们不清楚的。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Highly-processed foods are often engineered to attract you and make you want to eat more and more.(高度加工的食品通常会吸引你，让你想吃得越来越多。)”可知，高度加工的食品通常会吸引你，让你想吃得越来越多。F选项“In some people, the desire for them can be taken to extreme.(对某些人来说，对它们的渴望可以达到极端。)”承接前文，指出很多人对于高度加工食物吃的越来越多，以至于对这些食物的渴望达到了极端。该选项中的them指代前文的Highly-processed foods，该选项符合语境。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据本段段旨“Switch your drink .( 换一种饮料)”可知，本段强调的是饮料让你朝着少加工饮食的方向发展产生的影响。C选项“If your choice is a sweetened drink, make a change.(如果你的选择是加糖饮料，那就改变一下。)”指出，如果你的选择是加糖饮料，那就改变一下，与本段段旨构成呼应。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据后文“For example, if you're attached to your favorite box of cookies, count out a smaller serving of them and round it out with a less-processed food like a slice of cheese or some fruits.( 例如，如果你喜欢吃你最喜欢的一盒饼干，那就少吃一点，再吃一些加工较少的食物，比如一片奶酪或一些水果。)”可知，此处通过举例说明——注意份量这个方法所起到的作用。A选项“You can choose to downsize your portion.(你可以选择减少你的份量。)”承接段旨，同时概括后文的例子即减少自己所食用过度加工食物的份量，符合语境。故选A。

【答案】Dear Tom,
In response to your question about whether living in an apartment or a dormitory is better, I would like to offer you my perspective.
Personally, I believe that both options have their own advantages and disadvantages. Living in an apartment offers more privacy and independence. On the other hand, living in a dormitory can provide a great opportunity to socialize and make friends easily. There are numerous chances to engage in activities together and share experiences.
I would suggest considering factors such as your preferences, budget, and study habits before making a decision. I hope this information helps you in making a decision.

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。
Our three kids were all under age five. We’d recently moved to the suburbs, and I’d stopped working to be a stay-at-home mom. Most of our friends lived outside our immediate community and didn’t have children. This all added up to a nonexistent social life for my husband and me.
I needed to fix this, so I became a room parent in my son’s kindergarten class, partly to spend time with him, but also to make more friends within the school community. I also signed my son up for weekend soccer. While those activities gave me the opportunity to socialize with other moms, it was challenging to cultivate friendships. I only saw my fellow room parents a few times a -year, usually during class parties. On the soccer sidelines, I found it impossible to watch the game, keep track of my young children, and maintain conversations with other parents at the same time.
I desired deeper interactions with the smart, interesting moms I saw around school. But we all led busy lives. How could I make this happen
“You should throw a party,” suggested a friend who happened to be a professional event planner. “I can’t do that. I don’t really know these women,” I replied quickly. I hardly even had my closest friends over to my house. The thought of hosting an adult party terrified me.
“Just invite a few people that you’ve talked to and ask them to bring along a friend. You’ll meet even more people that way. It will be fun,” my event-planner friend said. I ran this idea by my husband, and I was certain he’d agree it wouldn’t work. “Great idea,” he said. “I’ll stay upstairs with the kids, and the party can take place on the main floor.”
I picked a date and set up an electronic invitation, making a guest list of moms from my son’s soccer team, my fellow room moms, and a few other moms I’d started saying “hi” to at school pick-up. But I didn’t hit Send. I started to talk myself out of it. There were so many reasons this wouldn’t work.

【答案】
With four mess makers in my household, I imagined many “what ifs”. What if the house wasn't clean enough What if the food wasn't good What if the conversations fell flat I doubted myself and my ability to host a successful gathering. However, despite all the doubts and worries swirling in my mind, I decided to take a leap of faith and hit the Send button on the invitation. Although I didn’t know how it would turn out, I was still fully prepared for the upcoming party.
But you know what Everyone showed up. As the doorbell rang, I anxiously opened the door, ready to welcome the guests. To my surprise, the room was soon filled with laughter, chattering, and the clinking of glasses. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, much different from my initial picture of awkward silence and uncomfortable conversations. It was on the night that I learned an important lesson about taking risks and stepping out of my comfort zone, which also taught me that sometimes all it took was a simple invitation to open the door to new connections and experiences.
