Being a writer in the 21st century can keep you in front of a screen for so long that it feels like the room is sideways. Being a human with the Internet can mean hours spent on social media, scrolling and posting for so long that your sense of reality actually becomes sideways. Three years ago, I started to search for ways to deal with my anxiety. I had a brilliant idea, one that felt completely foreign to people like me: I’d go outside, to the real outside.
I grew up in the city, not hiking or camping, so I knew nothing about the outdoors. I have three kids with endless energy, so I figured I could solve two questions at once. I would get a breather from my job and the kids would play with insects and realize there is nothing better than nature.
We drove to Great Falls, Virginia, where hundreds of people on any given day spent hours meandering through the hillside and forest. The blue water pulsed, turning white and crashing powerfully hundreds of feet beneath us. The kids held their breath as if they had seen magics. But it’s just nature, just the outside, and that had been there all along. Since then, we’ve been fascinated.
Last summer I felt my home’s walls closing in, so I decided to go camping. I built my first fire. My kids watched my every move, asking every ten minutes to help get more branches and roast meat. About a month, my craving to take a break from the city grew again. We camped two more times before the cold came, each time seeing a bit more of what nature had to offer city folks.
4. Why did the author decide to go outside three years ago
A. Because he was interested in nature. B. Because he hoped to reduce anxiety.
C. Because he fell in love with camping. D. Because he was eager for the outdoors.
5. What does the author want his kids to do
A. Enjoy the beauty of nature. B. Stay away from social media.
C. Learn to protect themselves. D. Choose to do what they are fond of.
6. How did the kids feel about the tour to Great Falls
A. Tired. B. Scared. C. Bored. D. Excited.
7. What does the underlined word “craving” in the last paragraph mean
A. Memory. B. Chance. C. Desire. D. Ability.

Having a personal trainer is one of the best ways to stay on track with your workouts, push your limits and try new things. But it often costs more than $100 a class, and getting to and from the gym can take up a lot of time.
Over the past ten years, fitness apps have been trying to copy the personal training experience exactly, and in recent years many have included artificial intelligence (AI) to create workouts. A growing number of products offer personalized works that match your abilities, goals and equipment you have, which usually cost around $100 a year.
However, some experts warn that while AI fitness apps are useful for many exercisers, they’re not the right fit for everyone.
AI fitness apps create personalized training programs using information from personal users and the experiences of other users.
In the future, these apps could collect even more information to give ever more personalized feedback (反馈), said futurist David Brin. But, he added, more information doesn’t always lead to better advice. “What you need to consider is whether the advice will actually be good for you, in the long run,” he said.
Furthermore, computers can learn a lot about different workout routines, but they can’t yet create the social interactions that make the training successful, said Nikola Banovic, professor of computer science and engineering at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the University of Michigan.
The AI fitness apps we have now can’t offer encouragement or provide comfort on a bad day. “As humans, we need more than just the workouts that will get us to our goals,” Dr Banovic said. “We need to be encouraged — that’s something only a real trainer can do right now. It will be some time before AI training does this well.”
8. What is the main advantage of AI fitness apps over personal trainers
A. Requiring less exercise equipment.
B. Offering coaching services at a lower price,
C. Creating more personalized training plans.
D. Providing a better personal training experience.
9. What may David Brin agree with
A. Users should work harder to protect their personal information.
B. AI fitness apps should find more tools for collecting information.
C. Users should be careful with the advice offered by AI fitness apps.
D. AI fitness apps should be improved to meet the needs of every user.
10. What should future AI fitness apps focus on
A. Setting achievable goals.
B. Adding live chat services.
C. Learning new workout routines.
D. Developing useful interactions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How do AI fitness apps change the way you exercise
B. Would an AI trainer be better than a real trainer
C. Can AI trainers take the place of the real one
D. How do experts feel about an AI trainer
D
Washing machines are one of the greatest inventions of the last few centuries.They have made life easier. Unfortunately, washing machines also contribute to the environmental issues of energy use and micro-plastics flowing into the oceans. That is why the washing machine manufacturer(制造商), Samsung, and the outdoor-wear company, Patagonia, are working together to make a change.
For Patagonia, the issue of micro-plastics has been on its mind for years—its woolen jackets release many microfibers. As for Samsung, new requirements throughout the world have forced many producers to start thinking about ways to help reduce the number of micro-plastics. There are currently more than 14 million tons of micro-plastics floating in the oceans. Though people previously think of things such as plastic bottles and fishing lines when it comes to plastics in the ocean, thousands of micro-plastics are released into seas with every wash.
The issue is a sort of catch-22. In order to reduce energy costs, manufacturers try to make their machines more efficient. These machines use hotter water and are designed to create more friction(摩擦) between the clothing in the machine. However, both of these things lead to the release of more micro-plastics. So, using Patagonia clothes as test cases, Samsung came up with a two-fold solution: One is a technology called Eco-bubbles, which creates more bubbles to make the detergent(洗涤剂) more powerful, and the other is a water purifier that can filter(过滤) out more micro-plastics.
The cooperation between the two companies is proof of how complicated protecting the environment can be. On the one hand, clothing that is well-constructed and durable is a weapon in the fight against fast fashion. On the other hand, the material used to make those clothes and the way they are washed can also add pollutants to the environment.The same goes for washing machines. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. The fight against climate change requires creative thinking and learning how to attack a problem from many angles. This will certainly lead to even more strange and fruitful cooperation between the environmentally conscious companies.
12. What is Samsung’s purpose in partnering the outdoor clothing company
A. To limit the use of micro-plastics.
B. To solve the issue of energy waste.
C. To find a solution to micro-plastic pollution.
D. To produce high-efficiency washing machines.
13. What does the underlined word “catch-22” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A tricky situation. B. A questionable fact.
C. A possible dream. D. A practical method.
14. Which of the following will reduce the release of micro-plastics during washing
A. Using hotter water.
B. Creating more friction.
C. Using powerful detergents.
D. Adding a water purifier to washing machines.
15. What does the cooperation between the two companies show
A. The difficulty in fighting against fast fashion.
B. The complexity of environment conservation.
C. The influence of humans’ active action.
D. The importance of creative thinking.

Debra, a five-year-old cousin of mine, often annoyed me. She wished me to stay with her, talk to her and teach her dancing. I hated it and never taught her to dance. That hot July afternoon, Debra annoyed me again.
Our big family all gathered together at a friend’s outdoor wedding. The children were running around and playing games. The afternoon couldn’t have been better. My friends and I gathered together and excitedly talked about our up-and-coming freshman year. Debra desired to join us, but what could a five-year-old kid contribute to our conversations
I left the table where we were sitting, leaving behind my mother, my grandmother and Debra. I walked inside the house and greeted everyone inside before making my way to the bathroom. As I was washing my hands, there was a big knock and the bathroom door burst open. It was an older cousin of mine, Sylvia. With a look of fear, anxiety and shock, she rushed to find towels. I figured one of the kids was injured while playing. “There has been a bad accident outside,” she told me and rushed out.
What kind of accident Was anyone hurt I left the bathroom. A woman approached and told me that a guest who was leaving the party had lost control of his car. Then I heard a voice calling my name. It was my mother. She told me, “Debra has been badly e and help rescue her!” My heart dropped to my feet. I was struck by the sudden thought that I might lose her.
I hurried outside. Tables and chairs were overturned everywhere by the runaway car. I was in shock. My mother quickly drove our car around and laid down the backseat. But where was Debra I saw her parents running from a room with a piece of board, perfectly Debra’s size. I didn’t see my tiny cousin until she was put onto the board and laid in the car, crying. Her new white dress had blood, and on her left shoe was a tire (轮胎) mark.

Being a writer in the 21st century can keep you in front of a screen for so long that it feels like the room is sideways. Being a human with the Internet can mean hours spent on social media, scrolling and posting for so long that your sense of reality actually becomes sideways. Three years ago, I started to search for ways to deal with my anxiety. I had a brilliant idea, one that felt completely foreign to people like me: I’d go outside, to the real outside.
I grew up in the city, not hiking or camping, so I knew nothing about the outdoors. I have three kids with endless energy, so I figured I could solve two questions at once. I would get a breather from my job and the kids would play with insects and realize there is nothing better than nature.
We drove to Great Falls, Virginia, where hundreds of people on any given day spent hours meandering through the hillside and forest. The blue water pulsed, turning white and crashing powerfully hundreds of feet beneath us. The kids held their breath as if they had seen magics. But it’s just nature, just the outside, and that had been there all along. Since then, we’ve been fascinated.
Last summer I felt my home’s walls closing in, so I decided to go camping. I built my first fire. My kids watched my every move, asking every ten minutes to help get more branches and roast meat. About a month, my craving to take a break from the city grew again. We camped two more times before the cold came, each time seeing a bit more of what nature had to offer city folks.
4. Why did the author decide to go outside three years ago
A. Because he was interested in nature. B. Because he hoped to reduce anxiety.
C. Because he fell in love with camping. D. Because he was eager for the outdoors.
5. What does the author want his kids to do
A. Enjoy the beauty of nature. B. Stay away from social media.
C. Learn to protect themselves. D. Choose to do what they are fond of.
6. How did the kids feel about the tour to Great Falls
A. Tired. B. Scared. C. Bored. D. Excited.
7. What does the underlined word “craving” in the last paragraph mean
A. Memory. B. Chance. C. Desire. D. Ability.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】

Having a personal trainer is one of the best ways to stay on track with your workouts, push your limits and try new things. But it often costs more than $100 a class, and getting to and from the gym can take up a lot of time.
Over the past ten years, fitness apps have been trying to copy the personal training experience exactly, and in recent years many have included artificial intelligence (AI) to create workouts. A growing number of products offer personalized works that match your abilities, goals and equipment you have, which usually cost around $100 a year.
However, some experts warn that while AI fitness apps are useful for many exercisers, they’re not the right fit for everyone.
AI fitness apps create personalized training programs using information from personal users and the experiences of other users.
In the future, these apps could collect even more information to give ever more personalized feedback (反馈), said futurist David Brin. But, he added, more information doesn’t always lead to better advice. “What you need to consider is whether the advice will actually be good for you, in the long run,” he said.
Furthermore, computers can learn a lot about different workout routines, but they can’t yet create the social interactions that make the training successful, said Nikola Banovic, professor of computer science and engineering at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the University of Michigan.
The AI fitness apps we have now can’t offer encouragement or provide comfort on a bad day. “As humans, we need more than just the workouts that will get us to our goals,” Dr Banovic said. “We need to be encouraged — that’s something only a real trainer can do right now. It will be some time before AI training does this well.”
8. What is the main advantage of AI fitness apps over personal trainers
A. Requiring less exercise equipment.
B. Offering coaching services at a lower price,
C. Creating more personalized training plans.
D. Providing a better personal training experience.
9. What may David Brin agree with
A. Users should work harder to protect their personal information.
B. AI fitness apps should find more tools for collecting information.
C. Users should be careful with the advice offered by AI fitness apps.
D. AI fitness apps should be improved to meet the needs of every user.
10. What should future AI fitness apps focus on
A Setting achievable goals.
B. Adding live chat services.
C. Learning new workout routines.
D. Developing useful interactions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How do AI fitness apps change the way you exercise
B. Would an AI trainer be better than a real trainer
C. Can AI trainers take the place of the real one
D. How do experts feel about an AI trainer
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了近年来健身应用程序一直试图准确复制个人训练体验，并且许多应用程序将人工智能用于创建锻炼，但一些专家认为人工智能健身应用程序并不适用于所有人。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Having a personal trainer is one of the best ways to stay on track with your workouts, push your limits and try new things. But it often costs more than $100 a class, and getting to and from the gym can take up a lot of time.(有一位私人教练是保持训练正轨、突破极限和尝试新事物的最佳方式之一。但一节课的费用通常超过100美元，而且往返健身房可能会占用很多时间)”和第二段中的“A growing number of products offer personalized works that match your abilities, goals and equipment you have, which usually cost around $100 a year.(越来越多的产品提供与你的能力、目标和设备相匹配的个性化作品，通常每年花费约100美元)”可推测出，人工智能健身应用程序比私人教练有优势的是它能够以低价提供教练服务。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“But, he added, more information doesn’t always lead to better advice. ‘What you need to consider is whether the advice will actually be good for you, in the long run,’ he said.(但他补充道，更多的信息并不总是能带来更好的建议。他说：‘从长远来看，你需要考虑的是这些建议是否真的对你有好处。’)”可知，David Brin认为人工智能健身应用程序虽然收集了更多的信息，但这并不意味着它能提供更好的建议，用户需要考虑这些建议是否对自己有好处。由此可推测出，用户要对人工智能健身应用程序提供的建议保持慎重。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Furthermore, computers can learn a lot about different workout routines, but they can’t yet create the social interactions that make the training successful, said Nikola Banovic, professor of computer science and engineering at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the University of Michigan.(此外，密歇根大学人工智能实验室的计算机科学与工程教授Nikola Banovic说，计算机可以学习很多关于不同锻炼动作的知识，但它们还不能创造出使训练成功的社交互动)”和最后一段中的“We need to be encouraged — that’s something only a real trainer can do right now. It will be some time before AI training does this well.(我们需要得到鼓励——这是现在只有真正的教练才能做到的事情。人工智能训练要做到这一点还需要一段时间)”可知，人工智能应用程序缺乏和人进行社交互动的功能，要做到这一点还需要时间，而人类需要在锻炼中得到鼓励。由此可推测出，未来人工智能应用程序应该关注开发有用的互动功能。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文首先在第一段讲述了私人教练对训练的好处以及私人教练的缺点，接着在第二段中的“Over the past ten years, fitness apps have been trying to copy the personal training experience exactly, and in recent years many have included artificial intelligence (AI) to create workouts.(在过去的十年里，健身应用程序一直试图准确地复制个人训练体验，近年来，许多应用程序都将人工智能（AI）用于创建训练)”和第三段“However, some experts warn that while AI fitness apps are useful for many exercisers, they’re not the right fit for everyone.(然而，一些专家警告说，虽然人工智能健身应用程序对许多锻炼者有用，但它们并不适合所有人)”指出，近年来出现了人工智能健身应用程序，并提到专家认为人工智能健身应用程序不适用于所有人。通读全文可知，本文主要围绕人工智能健身应用程序展开论述。由此可推测出，B项“人工智能教练会比真正的教练更好吗？”最适合作本文标题。故选B。
D
Washing machines are one of the greatest inventions of the last few centuries.They have made life easier. Unfortunately, washing machines also contribute to the environmental issues of energy use and micro-plastics flowing into the oceans. That is why the washing machine manufacturer(制造商), Samsung, and the outdoor-wear company, Patagonia, are working together to make a change.
For Patagonia, the issue of micro-plastics has been on its mind for years—its woolen jackets release many microfibers. As for Samsung, new requirements throughout the world have forced many producers to start thinking about ways to help reduce the number of micro-plastics. There are currently more than 14 million tons of micro-plastics floating in the oceans. Though people previously think of things such as plastic bottles and fishing lines when it comes to plastics in the ocean, thousands of micro-plastics are released into seas with every wash.
The issue is a sort of catch-22. In order to reduce energy costs, manufacturers try to make their machines more efficient. These machines use hotter water and are designed to create more friction(摩擦) between the clothing in the machine. However, both of these things lead to the release of more micro-plastics. So, using Patagonia clothes as test cases, Samsung came up with a two-fold solution: One is a technology called Eco-bubbles, which creates more bubbles to make the detergent(洗涤剂) more powerful, and the other is a water purifier that can filter(过滤) out more micro-plastics.
The cooperation between the two companies is proof of how complicated protecting the environment can be. On the one hand, clothing that is well-constructed and durable is a weapon in the fight against fast fashion. On the other hand, the material used to make those clothes and the way they are washed can also add pollutants to the environment.The same goes for washing machines. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. The fight against climate change requires creative thinking and learning how to attack a problem from many angles. This will certainly lead to even more strange and fruitful cooperation between the environmentally conscious companies.
12. What is Samsung’s purpose in partnering the outdoor clothing company
A. To limit the use of micro-plastics.
B. To solve the issue of energy waste.
C. To find a solution to micro-plastic pollution.
D. To produce high-efficiency washing machines.
13. What does the underlined word “catch-22” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A tricky situation. B. A questionable fact.
C. A possible dream. D. A practical method.
14. Which of the following will reduce the release of micro-plastics during washing
A. Using hotter water.
B. Creating more friction.
C. Using powerful detergents.
D. Adding a water purifier to washing machines.
15. What does the cooperation between the two companies show
A. The difficulty in fighting against fast fashion.
B. The complexity of environment conservation.
C. The influence of humans’ active action.
D. The importance of creative thinking.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了洗衣机制造商三星和户外服装公司巴塔哥尼亚正积极合作，以解决微塑料污染的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Unfortunately, washing machines also contribute to the environmental issues of energy use and micro-plastics flowing into the oceans. That is why the washing machine manufacturer(制造商), Samsung, and the outdoor-wear company, Patagonia, are working together to make a change.(不幸的是，洗衣机也造成了能源使用和微塑料流入海洋的环境问题。这就是为什么洗衣机制造商三星和户外服装公司巴塔哥尼亚正在合作做出改变。)”可知，三星和巴塔哥尼亚合作是为了找到解决微塑料污染的方法。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。画线词所在句中的“The issue”指的是第一段中的“the environmental issues of energy use and micro-plastics flowing into the oceans”，即能源使用和微塑料排放的问题。根据后文中的“In order to reduce energy costs, manufacturers try to make their machines more efficient. These machines use hotter water and are designed to create more friction(摩擦) between the clothing in the machine. However, both of these things lead to the release of more micro-plastics.(为了降低能源成本，制造商试图提高机器的效率。这些机器使用更热的水，设计用于在机器中的衣服之间产生更多的摩擦。然而，这两种情况都会导致更多微塑料的释放。)”可知，洗衣机制造商通过使用更热的水和让机器中的衣服产生更多的摩擦，想要减少能源成本，但这些会导致微塑料排放更多。由此可推测出，能源使用和微塑料排放是一个进退两难的问题。catch-22意为“左右为难，两难情形”，与A项“一个难对付的问题”意思最接近。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So, using Patagonia clothes as test cases, Samsung came up with a two-fold solution: One is a technology called Eco-bubbles, which creates more bubbles to make the detergent(洗涤剂) more powerful, and the other is a water purifier that can filter(过滤) out more micro-plastics.(因此，三星以巴塔哥尼亚的衣服为测试案例，提出了一个双重解决方案：一种方法是一种名为Eco-bubbles的技术，它可以产生更多的气泡，使洗涤剂效果更强；另一种是净水器，可以过滤掉更多的微塑料。)”可知，使用Eco-bubbles技术和净水器均可以减少微塑料的排放。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The cooperation between the two companies is proof of how complicated protecting the environment can be.(这两家公司的合作证明了保护环境是多么复杂。)”可知，这两家公司的合作表明了保护环境的复杂。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释和阐述了都江堰的重要性、历史和它在中国水资源管理中的独特地位。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：从古代一直到现在，人类一直在管理水资源以造福人类生活。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，根据时间状语From ancient times all the way to today可知句子表达的是从过去一直持续到现在的动作，并可能还会延续下去。谓语动词使用现在完成进行时，故填have been managing。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意：在世界上众多的水奇观中，不可能不提到都江堰。分析句子结构，it is possible not to do为固定短语，含义为“做……是不可能的”，符合句意，所以空白处应填代词it，故填it。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：都江堰的贡献通常指的是富饶繁华的成都，在那里人们从不挨饿，因为洪水和干旱可以大大减少。分析句子结构，这是一个包含非限制性定语从句的复合句，先行词为：Chengdu，因先行词在定语从句中作状语表示地点，使用关系副词where引导定语从句，故填where。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语使用副词，故填dramatically。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，这项伟大的水利工程的意义不仅仅限于此。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做主语使用名词，significant为形容词，其名词为：significance，故填significance。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：自李冰时代起，它就是一个综合性的水利功能体系，执行了许多不同的功能，比如运输，这只是其中之一。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语，使用非谓语动词，因与其逻辑主语water conservancy function system之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词，故填carrying。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：荷兰人巴特·舒尔茨是水资源管理领域的国际知名专家，曾担任国际灌溉排水委员会会长。分析句子结构，因空白处后面有名词expert，根据冠词的用法，名词前需使用不定冠词表示“一个”含义，因空白处后面词的第一个发音音素为元音，应使用不定冠词an，故填an。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：同上。分析句子结构，这是一个并列句，空白处在第二个句子中作谓语，因空句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时，故填served。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：从他的角度来看，都江堰的成功不仅取决于它著名的设计者，还在于它世代相传的良好运营和维护。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语指人，design为动词，其指人的名词为：designer，根据上文“It has been a comprehensive water conservancy function system since the days of Li Bing(自李冰时代起，它就是一个综合性的水利功能体系。)”可知此处说的设计者为为上文提到的李冰，空白处应填单数名词，故填designer。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：这是它存在超过2000年的秘密，也是让它成为中国唯一一个获得三项“世界遗产”称号的关键。分析句子结构，根据上文“This is the secret of its existence for more 2,000 years(这是它存在超过2000年的秘密)”以及下文“the key to making it the only one in China that has won three“World Heritage”titles(让它成为中国唯一一个获得三项“世界遗产”称号的关键)”可知，本句为两个名词the secret和the key并列做表语，应使用表是并列关系的连词，故填and。

Debra, a five-year-old cousin of mine, often annoyed me. She wished me to stay with her, talk to her and teach her dancing. I hated it and never taught her to dance. That hot July afternoon, Debra annoyed me again.
Our big family all gathered together at a friend’s outdoor wedding. The children were running around and playing games. The afternoon couldn’t have been better. My friends and I gathered together and excitedly talked about our up-and-coming freshman year. Debra desired to join us, but what could a five-year-old kid contribute to our conversations
I left the table where we were sitting, leaving behind my mother, my grandmother and Debra. I walked inside the house and greeted everyone inside before making my way to the bathroom. As I was washing my hands, there was a big knock and the bathroom door burst open. It was an older cousin of mine, Sylvia. With a look of fear, anxiety and shock, she rushed to find towels. I figured one of the kids was injured while playing. “There has been a bad accident outside,” she told me and rushed out.
What kind of accident Was anyone hurt I left the bathroom. A woman approached and told me that a guest who was leaving the party had lost control of his car. Then I heard a voice calling my name. It was my mother. She told me, “Debra has been badly e and help rescue her!” My heart dropped to my feet. I was struck by the sudden thought that I might lose her.
I hurried outside. Tables and chairs were overturned everywhere by the runaway car. I was in shock. My mother quickly drove our car around and laid down the backseat. But where was Debra I saw her parents running from a room with a piece of board, perfectly Debra’s size. I didn’t see my tiny cousin until she was put onto the board and laid in the car, crying. Her new white dress had blood, and on her left shoe was a tire (轮胎) mark.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Together, we hurried to drive towards the hospital. My heart was heavy with worry, and the scene of the accident replayed in my mind. Debra’s cries echoed in my ears, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of helplessness. The drive seemed to take forever, and every second was filled with anxiety. Finally, we arrived at the hospital, and Debra was quickly rushed into surgery. Anxiety gripped us as we awaited news of her condition. Hours felt like an eternity until finally, a doctor emerged to deliver an update.
“She’ll walk again as long as you take good care of her,” the doctor told us. Relief washed over me as I heard those words. Debra’s parents and I sat by her bedside, holding her hand and whispering words of encouragement. As the days passed, Debra’s condition gradually improved. She was in pain, but her spirit was strong. With love and care, she slowly recovered, and before long, she was back on her feet, dancing and laughing like the Debra we all knew and loved.
