When I woke up, I made myself breakfast, sat and listened to the traffic. Some of my friends asked me how I could stand living somewhere so noisy. It’s true that there’s always some kinds of noise in my neighborhood, but to me, these are the sounds of life.
It was Saturday morning, so I decided to go to the park. The taxi was the fastest way to go but I took the bus instead.
When you ride the bus, you get to see so much more of the city. It can be kind of loud on the bus, with some people talking on their phones, some people chatting with their friends, and others playing music. It’s just like the traffic’s sounds, though the noise on the bus represents people working, relaxing and living.
Once I got to the park, I picked a bench over near the play area where kids played while their parents sat nearby. I could see and hear almost everything from there. People watching is one of my favorite things to do. However, I like listening even better. The only problem is that there’s so much to see and hear in the park!
Usually, I like to close my eyes. That way, I can pay more attention to the sounds and not get distracted by what I see. With my eyes closed, I could pick out parts of two old men’s conversation. One of them was telling the other about something his grandson said. I couldn’t hear the rest, but it must be hilarious because his friend’s laugh was so loud.
When I’m old, I hope that I will also have a friend who will sit in the park with me, and who will enjoy listening to the sounds of the city as much as I do.
4. Some of the author’s friends think “the sounds of life” are very________.
A. unpleasant B. unique
C. magical D. interesting
5. The author took the bus to the park because________.
A. there was no other transport to go there
B. he wanted to see more about people’s life
C. it was the most convenient way
D. his friend advised him to do so
6. The author closed his eyes in order to ________.
A. have a good rest
B. hide himself from view
C enjoy the sounds of life
D. avoid talking with the two old men
7. The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A. truly different B. quite popular
C. rather strange D. extremely funny
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了作者对生活中各种声音的喜爱及他在周六这一天的生活经历。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I woke up, I made myself breakfast, sat and listened to the traffic. Some of my friends asked me how I could stand living somewhere so noisy. It’s true that there’s always some kinds of noise in my neighborhood, but to me, these are the sounds of life.(当我醒来时，我给自己做了早餐，坐下来听交通的声音。我的一些朋友问我怎么能忍受住在这么吵的地方。的确，我家附近总是有各种各样的噪音，但对我来说，这些都是生活的声音)”可知，作者和他的一些朋友对生活环境中的嘈杂声音持不同意见。对作者而言，这些声音是生命之声，而作者的朋友则无法忍受。故选A项。
5题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“When you ride the bus, you get to see so much more of the city. It can be kind of loud on the bus, with some people talking on their phones, some people chatting with their friends, and others playing music. It’s just like the traffic’s sounds, though the noise on the bus represents people working, relaxing and living.(当你乘坐公共汽车时，你可以看到这个城市的很多地方。在公共汽车上可能会很吵，有些人在打电话，有些人在和朋友聊天，还有一些人在放音乐。这就像交通的声音一样，尽管公共汽车上的噪音代表了人们工作、放松和生活)”可知，作者乘坐公交车去公园是为了更好地观察人们的生活。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Usually, I like to close my eyes. That way, I can pay more attention to the sounds and not get distracted by what I see.(通常，我喜欢闭上眼睛。这样，我就可以把更多的注意力放在声音上，而不会被我看到的东西分散注意力)”可知，作者闭上眼睛是为了集中注意力倾听生命之声。故选C项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据本段中的“because his friend’s laugh was so loud.(因为他朋友的笑声太大声了)”可知，其中一位老人讲述有关他孙子的事，这使得另外一位老人哈哈大笑，由此可推知，那位老人的孙子的事情一定十分有趣。所以可推知hilarious意为“极其有趣”之意，和D项意思相近。故选D项。
C
Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品 ) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only is the damage of time intimidating our cultural heritage, but wars, climate change, globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price. Technology is now the most important weapon in the battle. Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.
As you can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品 ) via crowdsourced 2D images is extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours. AI will also make restoration-and-preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and much better than former methods.
Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are easily damaged. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes left could be seen everywhere causing many problems. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at and touch artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation (创新), data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.
8. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Fading. B. Preserving. C. Recording. D. Threatening.
9. How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage
A. By recycling huge amounts of waste.
B By stopping visitors touching artifacts.
C. By reducing human effects on the sites.
D. By educating people about the sites’ importance.
10. What is the author’s attitude to technology in preserving the cultural heritage
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unsupportive.
11. Which can be the best title for this passage
A. How Technology Changes Arts
B. What Cultural Heritage Means to Us
C. Prepare for an Innovation in Technology
D. Preserve the Ancient with the Advanced
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了现代技术（AI和VR）怎样应用在文化遗产的保护上。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only are the damages of time intimidating our cultural heritage, but wars, climate change, globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price.”（但今天，它受到了前所未有的攻击。时间的破坏不仅intimidating我们的文化遗产，而且战争、气候变化、全球化和旅游业都在付出沉重的代价。）可知，文化遗产受到前所未有的攻击，冲突，气候变化，全球化和旅游业都在付出沉重的代价，not only …but also…连接并列结构，此处讲述对文化遗产的破坏，因此推断时间的破坏威胁着文化遗产。故可猜测，划线单词为“威胁”的意思，结合选项D项意思一致。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at and touch artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.”（随着越来越多的文化遗址和文物被数字化测绘和记录，VR技术将越来越多地成为人们体验它们的方式。我们最终都将能够在各个地方走动，观看和触摸人工制品和艺术作品，而不用亲眼看到它们。）可推知，VR技术可以模拟出这些文化遗产让我们感受而不用去现场，从而减少人类对文化遗产的影响以及破坏，以便保护这些文化遗产。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation (创新), data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.”（最后，我们的文化遗产将通过技术得到保护。在研究、创新、数据共享和项目工作方面的努力将有助于促进和保护世界各国的文化遗产。）可推知，作者对文化遗产保护中技术的应用持积极肯定的态度。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.”（以下是科技如何保护我们的文化遗产。)以及文章最后一段“Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation (创新), data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.”（最后，我们的文化遗产将通过技术得到保护。研究、创新、数据共享和项目工作的努力将有助于促进和保护世界各国的文化遗产。）可知，本文主要介绍现代技术应用在文化遗产的保护上。而D项“Preserve the Ancient with the Advanced(用先进的技术保护古代)”切合文意。故选D项。
D
You wake up in the mornings the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. Are you still in a wonderful mood Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays high and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put into you, you will always feel down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. It could be a co-worker or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes letting out your anger back to the negative person may make you feel good, but this will lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another person at the start of a day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
12. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. make a comparison
B. offer an evidence
C. introduce a topic
D. describe a daily scene
13. How can negative people affect us
A. By influencing our emotion.
B. By telling us the nature of life.
C. By changing our ways of thinking.
D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.
14. According to the passage，to reduce negative people’s influences on us，we are advised to _______.
A. change negative people’s attitudes to life
B. show our dissatisfaction with negative people
C. make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
D. communicate with negative people as little as possible
15. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people
A. Favorable. B. Critical.
C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文主要讲了与消极的人聊天儿，自己也会变得沮丧，为了减少消极的人对我们的影响，我们最好少和消极的人交流。生命短暂，与其每日忧愁，不如用积极的心态，去迎接生活。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You wake up in the mornings the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time…Are you still in a wonderful mood Impossible!”主要讲了作者醒来以后感觉今天是美好的一天，但是有人打电话来说生活无望，由此引出了本文的话题——与消极的人聊天儿，自己也会变得沮丧，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time. (和消极的人交流会冲淡你的快乐。这可能不会改变你的想法，但与他们交流足够长时间会让你感到沮丧一会儿或很长一段时间。)”可知消极的人通过影响我们的情绪影响我们，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. (在这种情况下，尽量少说该说的话。)”可知为了减少消极的人对我们的影响，我们被建议尽量少和消极的人交流，故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put into you, you will always feel down. (当消极的人的匕首指向你，你将会感觉沮丧。)”由此推断出作者对消极的人持批评的态度，故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者就如何找工作提了四条建议。
【16题详解】
空格后的句子“This includes increasing your understanding of how to do well in the application process, including during interviews.（这包括让你更好地理解如何做好申请，包括面试）”是说找工作有很多事要做，而句中的this应该指的是上一句的内容，所以空格处的句子也应该是说找工作有很多事要做，所以G项“You should do anything to set yourself positively apart from other applicants.（你应该做任何事情来让自己从其他求职者中脱颖而出）”符合题意，空格后的this就是指G项中提到的这种做法。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据空格前的句子“Customize your application materials. You are likely to stand out if you tailor each resume to the job you apply for. You can have a basic resume and adjust it to fit the job description by using any obvious keywords from the job listing.（定制你的申请材料。如果你为申请的职位量身定制每份简历，你很可能会脱颖而出。你可以先有一份基本的简历，然后用招聘启事上任何明显的关键词来调整简历，使之符合职位描述）”可知，在第二段作者主要建议要量身定制每份简历，所以空格处的句子也应该和拟定简历相关，而F项“You should also emphasize relevant skills sought in the job listing.（你还应该强调招聘启事中所需的相关技能）”就是建议在简历中强调你具备招聘启事中所需的相关技能，所以F项符合题意。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据空格后的therefore可知，空格处的句子和下一句应该是因果关系，而空格后的句子“Therefore, you can limit it based on location or other factors.（因此，您可以根据位置或其他因素来限制它）”建议根据位置或其他因素来限制它。句中的it指的是什么？为什么限制它？从D项“Depending on the industry, this could be a very long list.（根据行业的不同，这可能是一个很长的清单）”中可以得到答案，it指的是D项中a very long list；因为很长，所以要根据位置或其他因素来限制它。所以D项符合题意。故选D项。
【19题详解】
空格处的句子应该是该段的主题句。根据下文的句子“Whether you’re looking for a new opportunity in your current field or you’re hoping to start a career in a new field, you will probably find value in meeting other professionals in that industry. You can do this at industry-specific events, conferences, online platforms or through other people you know.（无论你是在当前领域寻找新机会，还是希望在一个新的领域开始职业生涯，你都可能会发现结识该行业的其他专业人士的价值。你可以在特定行业的活动、会议、在线平台或通过你认识的人来做这件事）”可知，作者建议去结识行业的其他专业人士，并且建议了结识他们的方式。所以该段的主题应该和拓展人脉有关。所以C项“Expand network in your preferred industry.（在你喜欢的行业拓展人脉）”填入空格处符合题意。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据空格前的句子“After an interview, you are recommended to send a thank-you note to the person who interviewed you.（面试结束后，建议你向面试你的人发送一封感谢信）”可知，面试后，你应该给面试官发送一封感谢信。根据空格后的“for instance”可知，后面的例子应该是对空格处的句子进行说明，而后面的句子“For instance, if your networking helped you get an interview, show appreciation to those who helped you, or if you received help from an assistant or another professional, you could also thank them for their help as well.（例如，如果你的人际关系帮助你获得了一次面试机会，对那些帮助过你的人表示感谢，或者如果你从助理或其他专业人士那里得到了帮助，你也可以感谢他们的帮助）”是进一步建议你要感谢的人。所以空格处的句子应该是在上一句的基础上进一步建议你去感谢他人。B项“But you can also take it further.（但你也可以更进一步）”填入空格处，正好衔接上下文。故选B项。

【答案】36. encouraging
37. magical

40. happened
41. an 42. reported
43. and 44. myself
45. harder
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议短文。作者在文章中通过自己小学时候一次考试获得高分而被老师和父母亲表扬，从此就更加努力，取得了更大的进步。以此故事告诉我们表扬的巨大作用。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。现在分词转换而来的形容词encouraging常常修饰事物，本句中横线后面的words是一个表示事物的名词，所以是使用该词修饰。故填encouraging。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。名词magic魔术；本句中横线前面有副词really，说明应该使用形容词magical，因为副词是不能修饰名词的。故填magical。
【38题详解】
考查固定搭配。短语take sth for an example以……为例。本题很容易错误使用as，介词短语as an example通常单独使用，不和动词take连用。故填for。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。过去分词转换的形容词disappointed常常修饰人或与人有关的事物。本句的主语是Most of the teachers and even my parents，主语为人，所以使用disappointed意为“感到失望的”。故填disappointed。
【40题详解】
考查时态。根据第六句I was very naughty in the primary school.可知叙述作者在小学时候的事情，所以要使用一般过去时。同时这也是一个固定句式：It happens/happened that碰巧……。故填happened。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：碰巧我在一次考试中得到了高分。本句中的名词examination是可数名词，前面使用不定代词an修饰，表示泛指。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：班主任把这件事情告诉我的父母亲。根据本文第六句I was very naughty in the primary school.可知叙述作者在小学时候的事情，所以要使用一般过去时。故填reported。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：父母亲表扬了我并把这件事情告诉了邻居。我感到很高兴，对其他人也很友好了。根据句意可知上下文之间为并列关系，所以使用连词and。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查反身代词。本句中使用反身代词表示强调，同时这也是一个固定短语think to oneself心里想。故填myself。
【45题详解】
考查比较级。副词even表示语义的递进，通常修饰比较级形式。句意：我心里想我要更加努力，并取得更大的进步。故填harder。
【点睛】分词转换成形容词做定语的用法一直是考查的重点内容，本文小题1和小题4考查的就是这一点，现将其用法简单归纳如下：
现在分词转换而来的形容词常常修饰事物，过去分词转换的形容词常常修饰人或与人有关的事物。另外还要特别注意分词做定语的位置。
1.分词前置
We can see the rising sun. 我们可以看到东升的旭日
He is a retired worker. 他是位退休的工人
分词后置 (分词词组；个别分词如given, left；修饰不定代词 something等)
There was a girl sitting there. 有个女孩坐在那里
This is the question given. 这是所给的问题
There is nothing interesting. 没有有趣的东西
2.过去分词作定语
与其修饰的词是被动关系，相当于一个被动语态的定语从句。
Most of the people invited to the party were famous scientists.
Most of the artists invited to the party were from South Africa.
典型例题
1) The first textbook _ for teaching English as a foreign language came out in the 16th century.
A. have written B. to be written C. being written D. written
答案D. 书与写作是被动关系，应用过去分词做定语表被动，相当于定语从句 which is written
2）What's the language __ in Germany
A. speaking B. spoken C. be spoken D. to speak
答案B. 主语language与谓语动词之间有被动的含义。spoken是动词speak的过去分词形式，在句中作定语，修饰主语language, spoken 与 language有被动关系。该句可以理解为：What's the language (which is) spoken in German

As I played,the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me.She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom,smiling at me.She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.
"You sure play beautiful music,” she said.“I think my friend would like your music.I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean, then produced a few coins from her pocket.“I don’t have much,and I know you’re worth a lot, but if I give this to you, will you play a song for her She’s going through a lot.I know the music will make her feel better.”
I told her I’d be happy to play for free.

When I woke up, I made myself breakfast, sat and listened to the traffic. Some of my friends asked me how I could stand living somewhere so noisy. It’s true that there’s always some kinds of noise in my neighborhood, but to me, these are the sounds of life.
It was Saturday morning, so I decided to go to the park. The taxi was the fastest way to go but I took the bus instead.
When you ride the bus, you get to see so much more of the city. It can be kind of loud on the bus, with some people talking on their phones, some people chatting with their friends, and others playing music. It’s just like the traffic’s sounds, though the noise on the bus represents people working, relaxing and living.
Once I got to the park, I picked a bench over near the play area where kids played while their parents sat nearby. I could see and hear almost everything from there. People watching is one of my favorite things to do. However, I like listening even better. The only problem is that there’s so much to see and hear in the park!
Usually, I like to close my eyes. That way, I can pay more attention to the sounds and not get distracted by what I see. With my eyes closed, I could pick out parts of two old men’s conversation. One of them was telling the other about something his grandson said. I couldn’t hear the rest, but it must be hilarious because his friend’s laugh was so loud.
When I’m old, I hope that I will also have a friend who will sit in the park with me, and who will enjoy listening to the sounds of the city as much as I do.
4. Some of the author’s friends think “the sounds of life” are very________.
A. unpleasant B. unique
C. magical D. interesting
5. The author took the bus to the park because________.
A. there was no other transport to go there
B. he wanted to see more about people’s life
C. it was the most convenient way
D. his friend advised him to do so
6. The author closed his eyes in order to ________.
A. have a good rest
B. hide himself from view
C. enjoy the sounds of life
D. avoid talking with the two old men
7. The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A. truly different B. quite popular
C. rather strange D. extremely funny
C
Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品 ) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only is the damage of time intimidating our cultural heritage, but wars, climate change, globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price. Technology is now the most important weapon in the battle. Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.
As you can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品 ) via crowdsourced 2D images is extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours. AI will also make restoration-and-preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and much better than former methods.
Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are easily damaged. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes left could be seen everywhere, causing many problems. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at and touch artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation (创新), data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.
8. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Fading. B. Preserving. C. Recording. D. Threatening.
9. How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage
A. By recycling huge amounts of waste.
B. By stopping visitors touching artifacts.
C. By reducing human effects on the sites.
D. By educating people about the sites’ importance.
10. What is the author’s attitude to technology in preserving the cultural heritage
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unsupportive.
11. Which can be the best title for this passage
A. How Technology Changes Arts
B. What Cultural Heritage Means to Us
C. Prepare for an Innovation in Technology
D. Preserve the Ancient with the Advanced
D
You wake up in the mornings the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. Are you still in a wonderful mood Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays high and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put into you, you will always feel down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. It could be a co-worker or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes letting out your anger back to the negative person may make you feel good, but this will lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another person at the start of a day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
12. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. make a comparison
B. offer an evidence
C. introduce a topic
D. describe a daily scene
13. How can negative people affect us
A. By influencing our emotion.
B. By telling us the nature of life.
C. By changing our ways of thinking.
D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.
14. According to the passage，to reduce negative people’s influences on us，we are advised to _______.
A. change negative people’s attitudes to life
B. show our dissatisfaction with negative people
C. make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
D. communicate with negative people as little as possible
15. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people
A. Favorable. B. Critical.
C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.

I sat next to Annie and played.As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman.I played for quite a while.
Suddenly,Annie turned toward me and said,“You make it so beautiful.I can feel it inside my heart.”
Paragraph 1:
She took off her sunglasses.
