Fantasy Book Review
Fantasy Book Review should be high on the list for anyone who is a fan of fantasy works. The book review site publishes reviews for both children’s books and adults’ books. It has a section on the top fantasy books of all time.

Although it’s easy to be attracted by an impressive book cover, it’s always best to have a quick look at the book reviews before actually buying a copy. This way, you can save your money and spend it on the books that you’ll be proud to display on your shelves for a long time.

It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight For me, it was.
I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right
The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard.
It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough.
The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.

Around the globe far more bird species are losing ground than gaining, according to an expansive review of a half-century of bird population research published in the journal Annual Review of Environment and Resources in May.
The review, entitled The State of the World’s Birds, showed that more than 5,200 different species of birds-just shy of half the world’s total-are known or suspected to be declining. Around 3,800 species are relatively stable, and fewer than 700 species show increases. Among birds on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, almost 400 birds worldwide have had their conservation status changed for the worse in the past three decades (moving from vulnerable to threatened, or threatened to endangered) — five times more than the number of bird species with an IUCN status that has changed for the better.
“After documenting the loss of nearly 3 billion birds in North America alone (according to a 2019 study published in the journal Science), it was disturbing to see the same patterns of population declines and extinction occurring globally,” says review coauthor Ken Rosenberg, a conservation scientist now retired from the Cormell Lab of Omithology.
The review points to disappearing and degraded habitat-resulting from climate change, urbanization, agricultural intensification, and international trade-as the leading driver of bird declines worldwide. In a note of hope, the authors cite a 2020 study indicating that restoring just 5% of habitat in priority areas around the world could avert 60% of likely extinctions.
Lead author Alexander Lees, a research associate at the Cormell Lab, also points to the need for substantial changes in human behavior to prevent further losses. “Loss and degradation of habitat is often driven by demand for resources,” says Lees. “We need to better consider how commodity flows such as beef, oil, and seed crops can contribute to biodiversity loss and try to reduce the human footprint on the natural world.”
8. In what order are threatened species arranged on the IUCN’s Red List
A. Species quantity. B. Living habitat. C. Declining rate. D. Conservation status.
9. How does Ken Rosenberg feel when saying the words
A. Hopeful. B. Relieved. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
10 What does the underlined “avert” mean in paragraph 4
A. Prevent. B. Increase. C. Cause. D. Face.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Extra reasons for bird extinction. B. Possible solutions to habitat loss.
C. Substantial changes in human behavior. D. The prospect of biodiversity loss.
D
A doctor walked into an operating room where an operation was being performed. Everything seemed to be going well, but the doctor noticed that no one was wearing a face mask. He was surprised—wearing a face mask is a basic hospital procedure. But he didn’t say anything. The operation was a success, but a few days later the patient came down with a fever. It turned out that she had contracted a serious infection, probably because the doctors and nurses hadn’t followed a simple rule.
Atul Gawande was interested in that story and carried out a research on the importance of a checklist to boost hospital services. Gawande is a doctor himself, and in his research he suggests that if surgeons run through a simple checklist before every operation, then lives will be saved. And he’s got the numbers to prove it. In 2001, an experiment at an American hospital required doctors to use a five-point checklist before they carried out specific procedures. The checklist was just a list of routine things doctor should normally do without thinking—wearing latex gloves, washing their hands before and after every patient, and so on. By making sure that the checklist was followed, there were almost no infections during the 27 months of the experiment, and they estimate that around eight lives were saved. When the checklist was tested again in hospitals in Michigan, infections went down by 66 percent.
In his study, Gawande looks at other professions, too, to support his argument that checklists reduce accidents and improve success rates. He points out that people like engineers and pilots use checklists all the time, and he comes up with some good examples. Just imagine that an airplane crashed because the pilot had failed to follow basic procedures. Suppose a skyscraper collapsed because the engineers hadn’t remembered to do some important calculations. People would demand that officials look into these events immediately.
Gawande’s study finding is really interesting and received much public attention. It reminds us that sometimes the easiest way to avoid making mistakes is to follow a very simple set of rules. It’s relevant for all of us, not just for doctors.
12. The function of the first paragraph in this text is to ________.
A. introduce the origin of the idea for Gawande’s study
B. explain the importance of the basic hospital procedure
C. explore the causes of infections among patients in hospitals
D. emphasize the urgency of providing relevant training to doctors
13. What are the two experiments in paragraph 2 intended to prove
A. Young medical staff need follow the checklists.
B. Checklists are necessary for hospitals in particular.
C. Hospitals are required to maintain good management.
D. Medical infections can be reduced by observing a set of rules.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Air crashes hardly occurred with the basic procedures.
B. Gawande intends to promote his idea to other professions.
C. High buildings may collapse due to engineers’ miscalculations.
D. People think it a must for a pilot or engineer to use their checklists.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward Gawande’s study
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.

Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while I don’t mean situations when you should be alone, but occasions where you are with a group of people at a party or a restaurant. You get tired of jumping from conversation to conversation, and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch. ___16___ Now before you rush to defense, please understand that being an introvert (内向的人)is completely normal.
A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social. ___17___ They have friends, probably not as many as extroverts (外向的人), but enough to suit their needs for human interaction. Scientifically, all humans fall somewhere between being an introvert and being an extrovert, and at least 25 percent of us are introverts.
___18___ Therefore, the ability to network is extremely valuable. Of course, sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts, but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to “fit in”. While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes, introverts get increasingly exhausted. ___19___ For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm, with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep, panic attacks and depression.
___20___ They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail. So, for the best results in a project involving group work, both introverts and extroverts are needed.
A. Society appears to favor extroverts.
B. Most introverts, however, are just regular people.
C. These are feelings usually typical of an introvert.
D. Introverts tend to recover by spending time alone.
E You might have ignored that “strange” thought you had before.
F. Introverts, just like extroverts, have their own set of advantages.
G. Even if standing alone for a while, they get asked “Why are you all by yourself ”

Then one day, something ___24___ happened. Jim was about to leave the store when an armed robber came in, held him up at gunpoint, and made him open the ___25___. As he was trying to open it, Jim’s hand ___26___. The robber saw this and probably thought, “He’s about to attack me!” The robber ___27___ and fired his gun.
Jim was rushed to the hospital. In the ambulance, he felt ___28___ because the paramedic (医务辅助人员) kept telling him, “I’m sure you’ll be OK.”
But when Jim was in the operating room and he saw the faces of the doctors and nurses, he got the feeling that they thought he was___29___ dead. He knew he needed to do something to change their ___30___.
There was a ___31___ who was asking him lots of questions, very fast. One question was, “Are you ___32___ to anything ” “Yes!” Jim said loudly and everybody stopped what they were doing. There was total ___33___. “Bullets!” Jim said, and all the doctors and nurses burst out ___34___. And then Jim added, “Please operate on me thinking that I’ll live, and not that I’ll die.”

Sophie was dressed and all ready for her very first dance recital (舞蹈表演). When she started dance class last year, she didn’t know about the recital. She heard people talk about the recital but she didn’t know what it was. The recital was a chance for all of the parents and grandparents to see the dance students dance. It was at the high school every year and Sophie was going to dance on the stage in front of everyone. She did not like the thought of that. It scared her.
Yesterday she practiced her dance for the first time on the stage. There were only a few moms watching so it wasn’t too bad. But the thought of dancing in front of lots of people to night was really scary.
“All ready to go ” Mom asked.
“Yes. I guess,” Sophie said.
“You don’t sound like you are ready. What’s wrong ”
“I don’t know. I don’t feel so good. I’m kind of afraid.”
Mom sat on the edge of Sophie’s bed. “Remember yesterday when you practiced and I was right in the front row You did just fine!”
“But today there will be so many people!”
“When you go out on the stage, you just look right where I was sitting yesterday. I will be in that same seat. You just look at me and it will be just like yesterday! Let’s go!”
“What about the rest of the family ” she asked. “They are coming in the other car. We have to be there a little early,” her mother replied.
Sophie thought about what her mom said all the way to the high school. Mom was always right, but Sophie wasn’t sure this time. She still hated the thought of dancing in front of all those people. When it was time for her to dance, Sophie thought about what Mom told her. She certainly hoped Mom was right. She felt her mother’s words ringing in her ears. The music began to play.

The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard.
It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough.
The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.

Around the globe far more bird species are losing ground than gaining, according to an expansive review of a half-century of bird population research published in the journal Annual Review of Environment and Resources in May.
The review, entitled The State of the World’s Birds, showed that more than 5,200 different species of birds-just shy of half the world’s total-are known or suspected to be declining. Around 3,800 species are relatively stable, and fewer than 700 species show increases. Among birds on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, almost 400 birds worldwide have had their conservation status changed for the worse in the past three decades (moving from vulnerable to threatened, or threatened to endangered) — five times more than the number of bird species with an IUCN status that has changed for the better.
“After documenting the loss of nearly 3 billion birds in North America alone (according to a 2019 study published in the journal Science), it was disturbing to see the same patterns of population declines and extinction occurring globally,” says review coauthor Ken Rosenberg, a conservation scientist now retired from the Cormell Lab of Omithology.
The review points to disappearing and degraded habitat-resulting from climate change, urbanization, agricultural intensification, and international trade-as the leading driver of bird declines worldwide. In a note of hope, the authors cite a 2020 study indicating that restoring just 5% of habitat in priority areas around the world could avert 60% of likely extinctions.
Lead author Alexander Lees, a research associate at the Cormell Lab, also points to the need for substantial changes in human behavior to prevent further losses. “Loss and degradation of habitat is often driven by demand for resources,” says Lees. “We need to better consider how commodity flows such as beef, oil, and seed crops can contribute to biodiversity loss and try to reduce the human footprint on the natural world.”
8. In what order are threatened species arranged on the IUCN’s Red List
A. Species quantity. B. Living habitat. C. Declining rate. D. Conservation status.
9. How does Ken Rosenberg feel when saying the words
A. Hopeful. B. Relieved. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
10. What does the underlined “avert” mean in paragraph 4
A. Prevent. B. Increase. C. Cause. D. Face.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Extra reasons for bird extinction. B. Possible solutions to habitat loss.
C. Substantial changes in human behavior. D. The prospect of biodiversity loss.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了今年5月发表在《环境与资源年度评论》杂志上的一篇对半个世纪鸟类种群研究的综述称，在全球范围内，失去的鸟类物种远远多于增加的鸟类物种。这篇题为《世界鸟类状况》的综述显示，超过5200种不同的鸟类——略少于世界鸟类总数的一半——已知或怀疑正在减少。文章主要对鸟类保护展开了说明。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Among birds on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, almost 400 birds worldwide have had their conservation status changed for the worse in the past three decades (moving from vulnerable to threatened, or threatened to endangered) — five times more than the number of bird species with an IUCN status that has changed for the better.(在世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录上的鸟类中，全球有近400种鸟类的保护状况在过去30年里发生了恶化（从易危到受威胁，或从受威胁到濒危）——这是国际自然保护联盟保护状况好转的鸟类数量的5倍多)”可知，世界自然保护联盟红色名录上的濒危物种是按保护状况排列的。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““After documenting the loss of nearly 3 billion birds in North America alone (according to a 2019 study published in the journal Science), it was disturbing to see the same patterns of population declines and extinction occurring globally,” says review coauthor Ken Rosenberg, a conservation scientist now retired from the Cormell Lab of Omithology.(“根据2019年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究，仅在记录了北美地区近30亿只鸟类的损失后，看到同样的数量下降和灭绝模式在全球发生，令人不安”该综述的合著者、现已从科梅尔鸟类学实验室退休的保护科学家肯·罗森伯格说)”可知，肯·罗森伯格说这句话感到担忧。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“In a note of hope, the authors cite a 2020 study indicating that restoring just 5% of habitat in priority areas around the world could”以及后文“60% of likely extinctions”可知，在一份充满希望的报告中，作者引用了2020年的一项研究，该研究表明，只要恢复世界各地重点地区5%的栖息地，就可以阻止60%的可能灭绝。故画线词意思是“阻止”。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Lead author Alexander Lees, a research associate at the Cormell Lab, also points to the need for substantial changes in human behavior to prevent further losses. “Loss and degradation of habitat is often driven by demand for resources,” says Lees. “We need to better consider how commodity flows such as beef, oil, and seed crops can contribute to biodiversity loss and try to reduce the human footprint on the natural world.”(该研究的主要作者、科梅尔实验室的助理研究员亚历山大·李斯还指出，为了防止进一步的损失，人类行为需要发生实质性的改变。“栖息地的丧失和退化往往是由对资源的需求引起的，”李斯说。“我们需要更好地考虑牛肉、石油和种子作物等商品流动是如何导致生物多样性丧失的，并努力减少人类对自然界的足迹。”)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是栖息地丧失的可能解决办法。故选B。
D
A doctor walked into an operating room where an operation was being performed. Everything seemed to be going well, but the doctor noticed that no one was wearing a face mask. He was surprised—wearing a face mask is a basic hospital procedure. But he didn’t say anything. The operation was a success, but a few days later the patient came down with a fever. It turned out that she had contracted a serious infection, probably because the doctors and nurses hadn’t followed a simple rule.
Atul Gawande was interested in that story and carried out a research on the importance of a checklist to boost hospital services. Gawande is a doctor himself, and in his research he suggests that if surgeons run through a simple checklist before every operation, then lives will be saved. And he’s got the numbers to prove it. In 2001, an experiment at an American hospital required doctors to use a five-point checklist before they carried out specific procedures. The checklist was just a list of routine things doctor should normally do without thinking—wearing latex gloves, washing their hands before and after every patient, and so on. By making sure that the checklist was followed, there were almost no infections during the 27 months of the experiment, and they estimate that around eight lives were saved. When the checklist was tested again in hospitals in Michigan, infections went down by 66 percent.
In his study, Gawande looks at other professions, too, to support his argument that checklists reduce accidents and improve success rates. He points out that people like engineers and pilots use checklists all the time, and he comes up with some good examples. Just imagine that an airplane crashed because the pilot had failed to follow basic procedures. Suppose a skyscraper collapsed because the engineers hadn’t remembered to do some important calculations. People would demand that officials look into these events immediately.
Gawande’s study finding is really interesting and received much public attention. It reminds us that sometimes the easiest way to avoid making mistakes is to follow a very simple set of rules. It’s relevant for all of us, not just for doctors.
12. The function of the first paragraph in this text is to ________.
A. introduce the origin of the idea for Gawande’s study
B. explain the importance of the basic hospital procedure
C. explore the causes of infections among patients in hospitals
D. emphasize the urgency of providing relevant training to doctors
13. What are the two experiments in paragraph 2 intended to prove
A. Young medical staff need follow the checklists.
B. Checklists are necessary for hospitals in particular.
C. Hospitals are required to maintain good management.
D. Medical infections can be reduced by observing a set of rules.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Air crashes hardly occurred with the basic procedures.
B. Gawande intends to promote his idea to other professions.
C. High buildings may collapse due to engineers’ miscalculations.
D. People think it a must for a pilot or engineer to use their checklists.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward Gawande’s study
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了医生Atul Gawande受到一个医疗事件的启发，着手研究如何通过严格执行操作程序清单提升医疗服务及其对其他行业的重要性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It turned out that she had contracted a serious infection, probably because the doctors and nurses hadn’t followed a simple rule.(结果她得了严重的感染，可能是因为医生和护士没有遵守一个简单的规则)”及第二段第一句“Atul Gawande was interested in that story and carried out a research on the importance of a checklist to boost hospital services.(Atul Gawande对这个故事很感兴趣，并开展了一项关于清单对提高医院服务的重要性的研究)”可知，第一段描述的医疗事故激发了Atul Gawande去研究严格执行操作程序清单的重要性，故第一段介绍了Atul Gawande的研究想法的来源。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“By making sure that the checklist was followed, there were almost no infections during the 27 months of the experiment, and they estimate that around eight lives were saved. When the checklist was tested again in hospitals in Michigan, infections went down by 66 percent.(通过确保遵守清单，在27个月的实验中几乎没有感染，他们估计大约有8条生命得救。当这份清单在密歇根州的医院再次进行测试时，感染率下降了66%)”可知，这两个实验都表明严格执行操作程序清单可以减少医疗事故，提高手术成功率。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“He points out that people like engineers and pilots use checklists all the time, and he comes up with some good examples. Just imagine that an airplane crashed because the pilot had failed to follow basic procedures. Suppose a skyscraper collapsed because the engineers hadn’t remembered to do some important calculations.(他指出，像工程师和飞行员这样的人一直在使用清单，他举出了一些很好的例子。想象一下，一架飞机因为飞行员没有遵守基本程序而坠毁。假设一座摩天大楼因为工程师们忘记做一些重要的计算而倒塌)”可知，Gawande发现严格遵守操作程序对其他行业的重要性。像工程师及飞行员等职业稍一疏忽就会造成重大的事故，故飞行员或工程师必须严格执行操作程序清单。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gawande’s study finding is really interesting and received much public attention. It reminds us that sometimes the easiest way to avoid making mistakes is to follow a very simple set of rules. It’s relevant for all of us, not just for doctors.( Gawande的研究发现非常有趣，受到了公众的广泛关注。它提醒我们，有时候避免犯错最简单的方法就是遵循一套非常简单的规则。这与我们所有人都相关，而不仅仅是医生)”可知，作者认为Gawande的研究非常有价值，对其持认可的态度。故选C项。

Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while I don’t mean situations when you should be alone, but occasions where you are with a group of people at a party or a restaurant. You get tired of jumping from conversation to conversation, and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch. ___16___ Now before you rush to defense, please understand that being an introvert (内向的人)is completely normal.
A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social. ___17___ They have friends, probably not as many as extroverts (外向的人), but enough to suit their needs for human interaction. Scientifically, all humans fall somewhere between being an introvert and being an extrovert, and at least 25 percent of us are introverts.
___18___ Therefore, the ability to network is extremely valuable. Of course, sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts, but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to “fit in”. While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes, introverts get increasingly exhausted. ___19___ For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm, with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep, panic attacks and depression.
___20___ They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail. So, for the best results in a project involving group work, both introverts and extroverts are needed.
A. Society appears to favor extroverts.
B. Most introverts, however, are just regular people.
C. These are feelings usually typical of an introvert.
D. Introverts tend to recover by spending time alone.
E. You might have ignored that “strange” thought you had before.
F. Introverts, just like extroverts, have their own set of advantages.
G. Even if standing alone for a while, they get asked “Why are you all by yourself ”
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. F

【19题详解】
根据空处下句中的“For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm（对于内向的人来说，继续处于这种尴尬的境地可能最终会给他们带来伤害）”可知，G选项“Even if standing alone for a while, they get asked “Why are you all by yourself ”（即使是一个人站一会儿，他们也会被问到：“你为什么总是一个人？”）”是对下文中“this awkward situation（这种尴尬的境地）”一种具体举例。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据空处下句“They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail.（他们思想深邃，行事谨慎，注重细节。）”可知，这里是对F选项“Introverts, just like extroverts, have their own set of advantages.（内向的人，就像外向的人一样，有他们自己的优势。）”的进一步解释，说明内向的人的具体优势。故选F项。

Sophie was dressed and all ready for her very first dance recital (舞蹈表演). When she started dance class last year, she didn’t know about the recital. She heard people talk about the recital but she didn’t know what it was. The recital was a chance for all of the parents and grandparents to see the dance students dance. It was at the high school every year and Sophie was going to dance on the stage in front of everyone. She did not like the thought of that. It scared her.
Yesterday she practiced her dance for the first time on the stage. There were only a few moms watching so it wasn’t too bad. But the thought of dancing in front of lots of people to night was really scary.
“All ready to go ” Mom asked.
“Yes. I guess,” Sophie said.
“You don’t sound like you are ready. What’s wrong ”
“I don’t know. I don’t feel so good. I’m kind of afraid.”
Mom sat on the edge of Sophie’s bed. “Remember yesterday when you practiced and I was right in the front row You did just fine!”
“But today there will be so many people!”
“When you go out on the stage, you just look right where I was sitting yesterday. I will be in that same seat. You just look at me and it will be just like yesterday! Let’s go!”
“What about the rest of the family ” she asked. “They are coming in the other car. We have to be there a little early,” her mother replied.
Sophie thought about what her mom said all the way to the high school. Mom was always right, but Sophie wasn’t sure this time. She still hated the thought of dancing in front of all those people. When it was time for her to dance, Sophie thought about what Mom told her. She certainly hoped Mom was right. She felt her mother’s words ringing in her ears. The music began to play.

She hugged the other girls happily and couldn’t wait to share her joy with her mom.
Sophie excitedly ran up to her mom in the hall. Her face was red at that time, excitement in the heart, as a deer jumping with joy. She hugged her mom tightly and said, “You were right, Mom! It was like I was dancing just for you!” “You did so good! I’m so proud of you! You can dance for me any time!” Mom said proudly. Sophie walked out of the school, holding Mom’s hand. She could still see the smile Mom had on her face as Mom did when she was dancing. Sometimes, Mom was just the best!
