17. What is Perelman
A. A researcher. B. A doctor. C. A reporter.
18. With whom do babies feel the most comfortable
A. Strange adults. B. Babysitters. C. Other babies.
19. How may babies react to unfamiliar babies

B. They may show much fear.
C. They may touch each other.
20. What may the study lead to
A. Much more parenting time with babies.
B. An increase in family-based day care centers.
C. A greater demand for experienced babysitters.
【答案】17. A 18. C 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: Recently a five-year study was conducted by the Center for Childhood Development in Los Angeles, California, regarding the way babies react to different types of people. The findings of the study suggest that babies seem to be more comfortable around other babies than they are with strange adults. The results confirm the ideas of Dr. Richard Perelman, who has written many books about raising children with his research team. Dr. Perelman supports the findings of the study and adds that it is a sounder idea to keep children with other children, as in a day care center, than to have children cared for by a babysitter. According to the results of the study, some babies seem to show fear of strange adults, but they are likely to reach out to try to touch an unfamiliar baby. Two of the children in the study were especially close. It was reported that if the two children were separated for any reason, they would start to cry. The only way to satisfy them was to allow them to be together. If the findings are true, it may lead to an increase in the use of family-oriented day care centers where children can spend more time with each other.

B
I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – “Do We Need It ” and “Put It in Its Place”— and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine.
If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.
So, this time I found help—the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong.
Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants shirts, suits and shoes. Then my last category: jackets. I haven’t worn it in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now, has its time come
I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I ever wear it again Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear Does it bring me joy Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia (怀念) is the very reason.
I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.
24. What can we learn about the author’s family members from Paragraph1
A. They can’t tolerate what the author insists on.
B. They are less passionate about full minimalism.
C. They are strongly opposed to full minimalism.
D. They completely support what the author does.
25. What does the underlined word “discarded” probably mean in Paragraph 2
A. abandoned B. disposable C. organized D. classified
26. What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
A. To learn how to categorize. B. To develop a passion for minimalism.
C. To persuade his family members. D. To improve his tidying skills.
27. What’s the text mainly about
A. The importance of categorizing skills B. The changes brought by minimalism
C. The author’s efforts to go minimalism D. An inspiration got from the book
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文中作者喜欢完全的极简主义风格，但家人并不支持他，为了提高整理技巧，作者去读了《改变生活的整理魔法》。在整理满地的衣服时，作者发现了难以舍弃的夹克衫，又把它放在了“保留”堆里。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it.(我喜欢扔掉东西。我喜欢完全简约主义，但我的妻子和两个十几岁的孩子不同意我对几乎什么都没有的房子的梦想。)”和“Their enthusiasm never matched mine.(他们的热情永远比不上我的。)”可以推知，作者的家人对完全的极简主义不那么热衷。故选B。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“never quite the trash mountain I want(从来都不是我想要的垃圾山)”可知，垃圾是作者所丢掉的东西，因此故划线词discarded是“丢弃”的意思，和abandoned意思相近，故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I want to be better at moving on.(我想更好地向前走。)”以及第三段“So, this time I found help—the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love.(所以，这次我找到了帮助——适合像我这样的人的经典书籍：Marie Kondo的《改变生活的整理魔法》。Kondo对她的手艺的投入是惊人的。她的哲学是只保留你喜欢的东西。)”可知，提高他的整理技巧是驱使作者去读《改变生活的整理魔法》的原因。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义)(我喜欢扔掉东西。我喜欢极简主义风格)”，第二段“If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.(如果我要诚实地说，我自己的整理能力并没有我想的那么好。我的“废弃”堆从来都不是我想要的垃圾山，因为我总是为这些东西有用找借口。我认为这是不健康的。我想更好地向前看。)”和第三段“So, this time I found help—the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo.(所以，这次我找到了帮助——适合像我这样的人的经典书籍：Marie Kondo的《改变生活的整理魔法》。)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者一直坚持极简主义风格，并且努力提升自己整理的能力，因此本文的主旨是C选项“The author’s efforts to go minimalism(作者努力走向极简主义)”，故选C。
C
Want to know what is coming soon to a cinema near you Probably not a 1.5-hour-long movie, as in the old days. On October 20th comes Killers of the Flower Moon. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long and some viewers even nod off. Afterwards there is a mad dash for the toilets. When does watching a film become such a slog
The Economist analyzed over 100,000 feature films released internationally since the 1930s, the start of Hollywood’s golden age, using data from IMDb, a movie database. The average length of productions rose by around 24%, from one hour and 21 minutes in the 1930s to one hour and 47 minutes in 2022. For the ten most-popular titles, the average length grew to around two and a half hours in 2022, nearly 50% higher than in the 1930s.
One driver of this trend is that studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property (知识产权), but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out “event” movie will draw audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: Avengers: Endgame Marvel’s three-hour superhero masterpieces, was the highest-grossing (票房最高的) film in 2019. Last year long movies series made up most of the highest-grossing films in America.
Another explanation for longer films has to do with directors’ growing influence. Who would dare tell the likes of Mr. Nolan to cut out his masterpieces Moreover, streaming platforms, which do not have to worry as much about the length because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names by promising them sufficient fund and creative flix funded and released three-hour The Irishman in 2019, a film that would have benefited from a decisive editor, Irish or otherwise.
28. The underlined part “a slog” in paragraph 1 refers to a(n)___.
A. pleasure B. effort C. conflict D. feast
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A. The average length affects the popularity of films.
B. Great advances have been made in film industry.
C. Hollywood starts a golden age of feature films.
D. The average duration of movies has stretched.
30. What sets the trend of longer movies
A. Competition for the target audience. B. Thirst for more classic productions.
C. Influence of streaming platforms. D. Preference for decisive editors.
31. What is probably the best title for the passage
A. Movie Enthusiasts B. Movie Marathons
C. Movie Production D. Movie Influence
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。为什么电影的时长变得越来越长，文章分析了出现这种现象的原因。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long and some viewers even nod off. Afterwards there is a mad dash for the toilets.(即使是影迷也很难在这么长时间内集中注意力，一些观众甚至会打盹。之后，人们疯狂地冲向厕所)”可知，看电影也不再是轻松的事，所以划线单词a slog指的是“艰苦的工作”，与effort意义一致。故填B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The average length of productions rose by around 24%, from one hour and 21 minutes in the 1930s to one hour and 47 minutes in 2022. For the ten most-popular titles, the average length grew to around two and a half hours in 2022, nearly 50% higher than in the 1930s.(制作的平均长度增加了约24%，从20世纪30年代的1小时21分钟增加到2022年的1小时47分钟。2022年，十大最受欢迎的游戏的平均时长增长到两个半小时左右，比上世纪30年代高出近50%)”可推知，电影的平均时长延长了。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One driver of this trend is that studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property (知识产权), but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out “event” movie will draw audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas.(推动这一趋势的一个因素是，电影公司希望最大限度地利用其昂贵的知识产权，但他们也在与流媒体平台争夺眼球。他们希望一部壮观的、旷日持久的“大事件”电影能把观众从小屏幕吸引到电影院)”可知，电影平均时长延长是为了吸引观众到电影院。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Want to know what is coming soon to a cinema near you Probably not a 1.5-hour-long movie, as in the old days. On October 20th comes Killers of the Flower Moon. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long and some viewers even nod off. Afterwards there is a mad dash for the toilets. When does watching a film become such a slog (想知道你附近的电影院即将上映什么电影吗？可能不会像过去那样是一部1.5小时长的电影。10月20日上映的《花月杀手》。该片时长近三个半小时，几乎是去年平均时长的两倍。即使是影迷也很难在这么长时间内集中注意力，一些观众甚至会打盹。之后，人们疯狂地冲向厕所。什么时候看电影变成了一件苦差事？)”及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了电影的时长变得越来越长这一现象，并分析了出现这种现象的原因。由此可知，B项“Movie Marathons(电影马拉松)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。
D
The idea that the standard human body temperature is about 98.6℉ (37℃) was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it’s become so widely accepted that it serves as a touchstone for health—a diagnostic tool used by physicians and parents as a basic indicator if someone is sick or well.
However, it turns out that this well-established fact isn’t, in fact, correct—or, to put it more accurately, human beings have been getting cooler over the years.
Recent studies have shown that temperature records of groups of people have tended to run low compared to the accepted norm (标准), so the Stanford team, led by Julie Parsonnet, MD, professor of medicine and of health research and policy, decided to do a more in-depth study to compare modern measurements with historical records to try to identify body temperature trends and, perhaps, uncover the reason why this cooling is happening.
For their research, the Stanford team looked at three distinct datasets (数据集) from three historical periods. One was military service records, medical records, and pension records from Union Army veterans of the American Civil War that were compiled from 1862 to 1930. The second was from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Ⅰ collected between 1971 and 1975, and the third from adult patients visiting Stanford Health Care from 2007 to 2017.
In all, the team went through 677,423 temperature measurements, making sure that temperatures recorded were accurate rather than the result of poorly designed thermometers (温度计). They did this by looking at the change in temperature inside each group over time to ensure that the curves (曲线) showing a decrease were consistent between the datasets.
At the end of the day, the team found that men born in the 21st century had an average body temperature of 0.59℃ lower than those born in the early 19th century, while modern women showed an average decrease of 0.32℃ compared to those born in the 1890s. Together, this means that human body temperatures have fallen by 0.03℃ per decade.
32. What is Wunderlich’s achievement
A. He was the inventor of the thermometer.
B. He set up a standard for normal body temperature.
C. He discovered humans’ body temperature trends.
D. He put forward the theory of normal human body temperature.
33. How did the Stanford team get their findings on body temperature
A. By having interviews. B. By conducting field research.
C. By analyzing historical records. D. By doing experiments in the lab.
34. What could affect the accuracy of Parsonnet’s study according to the text
A. The quality of thermometers. B. The backgrounds of the subjects.
C. The sorting of the collected datasets. D. The number of adult patients involved.
35. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Modern women’s body temperatures have risen over the past century.
B. The 19th century saw the greatest increase in men’s body temperatures.
C. The 21st century saw the greatest decrease in men’s body temperatures.
D. Men’s body temperatures have fallen faster than women’s over the years.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科研人员经过研究发现，自19世纪以来，人类的平均体温在持续下降，人类每十年时间平均体温就会下降0.03℃。传统意义上的37℃的标准体温已经不适用于所有人。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The idea that the standard human body temperature is about 98.6℉（37℃）was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it’s become so widely accepted that it serves as a touchstone for health—a diagnostic tool used by physicians and parents as a basic indicator if someone is sick or well. (1851年，德国医生Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich首先提出了人体标准温度约为华氏98.6度(37℃)的观点。从那时起，它被广泛接受，成为健康的试金石——医生和家长使用的诊断工具，作为一个人生病或健康的基本指标。)”可知，Wunderlich确立了现代人类健康体温的标准为37摄氏度。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“For their research, the Stanford team looked at three distinct datasets (数据集) from three historical periods. (在他们的研究中，斯坦福大学的研究小组研究了来自三个历史时期的三个不同的数据集。)”可知，这个研究小组主要是靠搜集并分析过去三个历史时期的群体体温数据集来进行相关研究的。故选C。

I live in a poorer quarter of my small Maine town, but I like it here. It’s pretty and I know all my neighbors.
Some years back I returned home to find that my house had been broken into. As I said, I know all my neighbors and therefore I had a pretty good idea who the burglar was. I spoke with the police and when I made my suspicions (猜想) known, they rolled their eyes. “He’s got quite a record already,” they told me. “If you accuse Jared (not his real name), he will go to the youth center.”
I asked the police to hold off until I could speak with Jared. In the interim (期间), I went to his high school and told the principal what had happened. I also came up with a way that wouldn’t involve the law.
My next stop was Jared’s house. When he saw me, fear filled his eyes. “It’s OK, let’s take a walk.” I said as he walked beside me. I asked why he had broken into my house. “If I take you to court, you will stay in the youth center for six years.”
A look of regret appeared across Jared’s face and I caught the moment. “Look,” I said, “and listen carefully. I spoke to the high school. I’ve offered to mentor (辅导) you for one school year. This means you have to meet with me for one hour every week. We will spend a half hour on homework and a half-hour talking about anything you like. But you must repay the money you stole from my house. “He took the offer. To Jared’s credit, he showed up in a quiet, dedicated (专用的) space in school every Friday morning.

I held out my hand to Jared and said, “That’s it.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I learned about his broken family. His parents got divorced and his mother earned just enough to make ends meet. He was often left alone at home, and he hardly had friends. Friday after Friday, we sat, we chatted, and I listened. To my joy, he became happier, talkative and even made several good friends. He repaid the money he had stolen from my house. The neighborhood got more peaceful and prettier. When the ten months ended, I met him in the quiet, dedicated space for the last time.
I held out my hand to Jared and said. “That’s it.” Surprised, he laid his hand in mine tentatively, and looked at me. “That’s it ” he echoed, still a little doubtful. “Yeah,” I nodded, smiling. In no time a broad smile danced on his face and he hugged me tightly, thanking me over and over. In return, the neighborhood benefited from a well-behaved and responsible Jared. I realized that the wide world often lets us down, but it’s still possible to do our part to make a huge difference to others’ lives.

I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – “Do We Need It ” and “Put It in Its Place”— and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine.
If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.
So, this time I found help—the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong.
Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants, shirts, suits and shoes. Then my last category: jackets. I haven’t worn it in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now, has its time come
I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I ever wear it again Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear Does it bring me joy Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia (怀念) is the very reason.
I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.
24. What can we learn about the author’s family members from Paragraph1
A. They can’t tolerate what the author insists on.
B. They are less passionate about full minimalism.
C. They are strongly opposed to full minimalism.
D. They completely support what the author does.

26. What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
A. To learn how to categorize. B. To develop a passion for minimalism.
C. To persuade his family members. D. To improve his tidying skills.
27. What’s the text mainly about

C
Want to know what is coming soon to a cinema near you Probably not a 1.5-hour-long movie, as in the old days. On October 20th comes Killers of the Flower Moon. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long and some viewers even nod off. Afterwards there is a mad dash for the toilets. When does watching a film become such a slog
The Economist analyzed over 100,000 feature films released internationally since the 1930s, the start of Hollywood’s golden age, using data from IMDb, a movie database. The average length of productions rose by around 24%, from one hour and 21 minutes in the 1930s to one hour and 47 minutes in 2022. For the ten most-popular titles, the average length grew to around two and a half hours in 2022, nearly 50% higher than in the 1930s.
One driver of this trend is that studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property (知识产权), but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out “event” movie will draw audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: Avengers: Endgame Marvel’s three-hour superhero masterpieces, was the highest-grossing (票房最高的) film in 2019. Last year long movies series made up most of the highest-grossing films in America.
Another explanation for longer films has to do with directors’ growing influence. Who would dare tell the likes of Mr. Nolan to cut out his masterpieces Moreover, streaming platforms, which do not have to worry as much about the length because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names by promising them sufficient fund and creative flix funded and released three-hour The Irishman in 2019, a film that would have benefited from a decisive editor, Irish or otherwise.
28. The underlined part “a slog” in paragraph 1 refers to a(n)___.
A. pleasure B. effort C. conflict D. feast
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A. The average length affects the popularity of films.
B. Great advances have been made in film industry.
C. Hollywood starts a golden age of feature films.
D. The average duration of movies has stretched.
30. What sets the trend of longer movies
A. Competition for the target audience. B. Thirst for more classic productions.
C Influence of streaming platforms. D. Preference for decisive editors.
31. What is probably the best title for the passage
A. Movie Enthusiasts B. Movie Marathons
C. Movie Production D. Movie Influence
D
The idea that the standard human body temperature is about 98.6℉ (37℃) was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it’s become so widely accepted that it serves as a touchstone for health—a diagnostic tool used by physicians and parents as a basic indicator if someone is sick or well.
However, it turns out that this well-established fact isn’t, in fact, correct—or, to put it more accurately, human beings have been getting cooler over the years.
Recent studies have shown that temperature records of groups of people have tended to run low compared to the accepted norm (标准) so the Stanford team, led by Julie Parsonnet, MD, professor of medicine and of health research and policy, decided to do a more in-depth study to compare modern measurements with historical records to try to identify body temperature trends and, perhaps, uncover the reason why this cooling is happening.
For their research, the Stanford team looked at three distinct datasets (数据集) from three historical periods. One was military service records, medical records, and pension records from Union Army veterans of the American Civil War that were compiled from 1862 to 1930. The second was from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Ⅰ collected between 1971 and 1975, and the third from adult patients visiting Stanford Health Care from 2007 to 2017.
In all, the team went through 677,423 temperature measurements, making sure that temperatures recorded were accurate rather than the result of poorly designed thermometers (温度计). They did this by looking at the change in temperature inside each group over time to ensure that the curves (曲线) showing a decrease were consistent between the datasets.
At the end of the day, the team found that men born in the 21st century had an average body temperature of 0.59℃ lower than those born in the early 19th century, while modern women showed an average decrease of 0.32℃ compared to those born in the 1890s. Together, this means that human body temperatures have fallen by 0.03℃ per decade.
32. What is Wunderlich’s achievement
A. He was the inventor of the thermometer.
B. He set up a standard for normal body temperature.
C. He discovered humans’ body temperature trends.
D. He put forward the theory of normal human body temperature.
33. How did the Stanford team get their findings on body temperature
A. By having interviews. B. By conducting field research.
C. By analyzing historical records. D. By doing experiments in the lab.
34. What could affect the accuracy of Parsonnet’s study according to the text
A. The quality of thermometers. B. The backgrounds of the subjects.
C. The sorting of the collected datasets. D. The number of adult patients involved.
35. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Modern women’s body temperatures have risen over the past century.
B. The 19th century saw the greatest increase in men’s body temperatures.
C. The 21st century saw the greatest decrease in men’s body temperatures.
D. Men’s body temperatures have fallen faster than women’s over the years.

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 live in a poorer quarter of my small Maine town, but I like it here. It’s pretty and I know all my neighbors.
Some years back I returned home to find that my house had been broken into. As I said, I know all my neighbors and therefore I had a pretty good idea who the burglar was. I spoke with the police and when I made my suspicions (猜想) known, they rolled their eyes. “He’s got quite a record already,” they told me. “If you accuse Jared (not his real name), he will go to the youth center.”
I asked the police to hold off until I could speak with Jared. In the interim (期间), I went to his high school and told the principal what had happened. I also came up with a way that wouldn’t involve the law.
My next stop was Jared’s house. When he saw me, fear filled his eyes. “It’s OK, let’s take a walk.” I said as he walked beside me. I asked why he had broken into my house. “If I take you to court, you will stay in the youth center for six years.”
A look of regret appeared across Jared’s face and I caught the moment. “Look,” I said, “and listen carefully. I spoke to the high school. I’ve offered to mentor (辅导) you for one school year. This means you have to meet with me for one hour every week. We will spend a half hour on homework and a half-hour talking about anything you like. But you must repay the money you stole from my house. “He took the offer. To Jared’s credit, he showed up in a quiet, dedicated (专用的) space in school every Friday morning.
