Award-winning Chinese shoe designer, Huang Qinqin, shares her transformative journey, combining cultural heritage and international design to shape the art of practical wear.
Believing that the value of her products doesn’t lie in business operation, Huang always focuses on how to convey the stories behind her shoes to customers instead.“It is like storytelling, a natural ability I possess,” she said with a smile.
However, Huang’s journey into design was unforeseen and it took her several years to discover her true passion. Huang switched her major from physics to international communications studies at university.While she found great enjoyment in these courses, she still didn’t know what she could do in the future.
“One day, I grabbed a sheet of paper and began drawing some shoe designs I saw online.It was at that moment that the light suddenly dawned.” recalled Huang.
To her astonishment, Huang discovered while international luxury shoe brands like Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin are household names, Chinese brands are rarely seen.This finding fueled Huang’s determination to pursue her career as a shoe designer, hoping to fill the blank in the international market.
After returning to China from the UK Huang established her own shoe brand.“I think Chinese students studying abroad today all share a strong sense of mission—to showcase what China truly has to offer to the world,” Huang said.
Looking back, Huang said that she took a long time to finally find her lifelong passion.“There is a saying that one must achieve fame at a young age, but I believe it is never too late to unlock one’s potential, since everyone operates on their unique ‘time zone’,” she said.
Before her current career path, Huang never stopped trying new things, including garden design and dance.These diverse experiences have all become precious treasures in her life, nurturing her self-directed learning abilities, which have turned out to be essential skills for her startup business today.
4. What does Huang value most about her products

The opening of California’s commercial crab season, which normally starts in November, is delayed once again to protect whales searching for their prey (猎物) along the coast.
California has been affected by a marine heat wave since May. The Blob, as this mass of warm water has become known, is squeezing cooler water preferred by whales and their prey close to shore, where fishermen set their traps. This crowding can lead to tangle (缠结) between whales and fishing equipment, endangering the animals’ lives and requiring rescue missions.
In a new study, scientists say they can now use global temperature models, commonly used in climate science, to predict up to a year in advance when hot ocean temperatures raise the risk of tangles between whales and fishing equipment.The tool analyzed in the new study, called the Habitat Compression Index, works by feeding sea-surface temperature measurements into an equation (方程式) that estimates the likelihood of whale habitat shrinking closer to shore.Regulators and fishermen agree that the new forecasting research could help them walk the tightrope between protecting whales and protecting local livelihoods (生计).
Mr Ogg, a commercial fishing boat captain, describes himself as a conservationist who doesn’t want to see whales harmed.“Fishermen have a big motivation to protect the natural environment,” he said, “because that’s where they make their living.” Previously, the challenge was adapting to changing conditions and fishing regulations on short notice, especially for smaller business owners and their crews.“One of the biggest problems we had was the unpredictability,” Mr Ogg said, “We were living from week to week then.”
Though scientists have shown the Habitat Compression Index can now forecast months in advance, state officials would probably wait to see conditions in real time before making decisions about the crab fishery, said Ryan Bartling, an environmental scientist at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
8. What do the whales come to shore for according to the first two paragraphs
A. Safety. B. Shelter. C. Leisure. D. Food.
9. What does the underlined phrase “walk the tightrope” probably mean
A. To take a risk. B. To join in an act.
C. To strike a balance. D. To walk on a rope.
10. What’s the state officials’ attitude towards the tool in the study
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Cautious. D. Pessimistic.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How climate data gives whales room to swim
B. What causes the decrease in whale population
C. Why global temperature models are in great need
D. Whether to protect whales or the local livelihoods
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要围绕加利福尼亚州商业捕蟹季的推迟展开以保护沿海岸寻找猎物的鲸鱼，介绍了推迟的原因、影响以及相关的科学研究和观点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“California has been affected by a marine heat wave since May. The Blob, as this mass of warm water has become known, is squeezing cooler water preferred by whales and their prey close to shore, where fishermen set their traps.(自5月以来，加州一直受到海洋热浪的影响。这团温暖的海水被人们所熟知，它正在挤压鲸鱼和它们的猎物喜欢的靠近海岸的较冷的海水，渔民在那里设置陷阱。)”可知，鲸鱼来到靠近海岸的地方是因为它们的猎物来到了靠近海岸的较冷的海水中。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“The tool analyzed in the new study, called the Habitat Compression Index, works by feeding sea-surface temperature measurements into an equation (方程式) that estimates the likelihood of whale habitat shrinking closer to shore.(这项新研究中分析的工具被称为“栖息地压缩指数”，它的工作原理是将海面温度测量值输入一个方程式，该方程可以估计鲸鱼栖息地在靠近海岸的地方缩小的可能性。)”可知，这种计算方式可以估计鲸鱼栖息地在靠近海岸的地方缩小的可能性，这样的话，渔民就可以不伤害鲸鱼，从而在维持生计和保护鲸鱼之间“取得平衡”。选项A“To take a risk (冒险)”；选项B“To join in an act (参加一项行动)”；选项C“To strike a balance (取得平衡)”；选项D“To walk on a rope (在绳子上行走)”。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Though scientists have shown the Habitat Compression Index can now forecast months in advance, state officials would probably wait to see conditions in real time before making decisions about the crab fishery, said Ryan Bartling, an environmental scientist at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.(加州鱼类和野生动物部的环境科学家Ryan Bartling说，尽管科学家们已经证明，栖息地压缩指数现在可以提前几个月预测，但州政府官员可能会等到实时看到情况后再对螃蟹渔业做出决定。)”可知，虽然科学家们已经证明栖息地压缩指数现在可以提前几个月预测，但是州政府官员可能会等到实时看到情况后再对螃蟹渔业做出决定。由此可知，州政府官员对这项研究中的工具抱有谨慎的态度。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“In a new study, scientists say they can now use global temperature models, commonly used in climate science, to predict up to a year in advance when hot ocean temperatures raise the risk of tangles between whales and fishing equipment. The tool analyzed in the new study, called the Habitat Compression Index, works by feeding sea-surface temperature measurements into an equation (方程式) that estimates the likelihood of whale habitat shrinking closer to shore. Regulators and fishermen agree that the new forecasting research could help them walk the tightrope between protecting whales and protecting local livelihoods (生计). (在一项新的研究中，科学家们表示，他们现在可以使用气候科学中常用的全球温度模型，提前一年预测炎热的海洋温度会增加鲸鱼和捕鱼设备之间缠结的风险。这项新研究中分析的工具被称为“栖息地压缩指数”，它的工作原理是将海面温度测量值输入一个方程式，该方程可以估计鲸鱼栖息地在靠近海岸的地方缩小的可能性。监管机构和渔民一致认为，新的预测研究可以帮助他们在保护鲸鱼和保护当地生计之间走钢丝。)”可知，文章主要讲述的是科学家们利用收集到的气候数据，预测鲸鱼和捕鱼设备之间缠结的风险，从而保护了鲸鱼。故选A。
D
Sharon Roseman was five years old when her world changed forever.She was playing Blind Man’s Bluff with friends outside her house.When she removed her blindfold (眼罩), she couldn’t recognize where she was.From that moment on, Roseman has been lost every day of her life.
Roseman is not alone in her experience.As an adult living in Denver, Colorado, in 2008, Roseman was diagnosed with a rare and newly discovered condition called Developmental Topographical Disorientation(DTD), which is a disorder that dramatically affects people’s abilities to navigate their familiar environment.
Dr. Giuseppe Iaria of the University of Calgary in Canada is credited with first identifying DTD.He confirms that odd as it sounds, people with DTD have no brain damage. He thinks genetic factors are likely to be responsible for it.
Paul Dudchenko, from the University of Stirling in the United Kingdom, has what he calls a place-cell theory. He says we get lost because all our hippocampal cells appear to be connected to landmarks. “They use things in the environment to orientate (确定方向) themselves and create a cognitive map,” he says. “If we don’t have things in the outside world to update the cognitive map, then it is likely to error.” That’s why people who are lost in a snowstorm, for instance, tend to go in circles. They think they’re heading in the right direction, but without external reference points their brain is unable to form a cognitive map, so they naturally tend to get lost.
“There seems to be a systematic error in the way people with DTD place landmarks in their mind,” Dudchenko says. How exactly this happens is still under investigation, but Dudchenko thinks the answer lies in the relationship between the various regions of the brain responsible for spatial cognition (空间认知).
For his part, Giuseppe Iaria is continuing with his research.Some of his recent work has focused on the role genes play in DTD.As well as helping sufferers of DTD, Iaria believes his research will offer an explanation for why some people are better at finding their way than others.While top researchers have more to learn, they are confident the answers won’t stay lost in the complexity of the brain forever.
12. Why does the author mention Roseman’s experience
A. To inform us of a sad story.
B. To give us background information.
C. To introduce a rare disease.
D. To support the author’s argument.
13. What trouble would people with DTD have
A. Navigating novel and unfamiliar environments.
B. Remembering the layout of their neighborhood.
C. Understanding the detailed information on a map.
D. Recalling the names of familiar places and people.
14. What does Dudchenko say about DTD
A. It gives rise to severe brain damage.
B. It happens when cognitive map fails.
C. It connects one’s brain and cognition.
D. It arises from a systematic genetic error.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Genes play the most important role in DTD.
B. The ability to find one’s way can be improved.
C. Iaria’s research has already helped sufferers of DTD.
D. The truth about DTD will be brought to light someday.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们对DTD这一罕见疾病的研究和解释。

Next time, replace thoughts like, “I’m so lazy,” with “I needed this rest. Now, I can tackle a new task.”(你整天都和自己在一起，所以是时候把自己当成最好的朋友了。你可能会时不时地产生消极的想法。下次，用‘我需要休息。现在，我可以着手一项新任务了。’来代替‘我太懒了’这样的想法。”)”可知，本段主要建议读者将自己当成最好的朋友，与自己进行积极的对话。选项A“Practice more positive self-talks.(多练习积极的自我对话。)”与本段内容相符，为本段主要内容。故选A。

(我们中的许多人都没有花时间停下来闻闻玫瑰的芬芳。我们总是想着下一件伟大的事情，而不是活在当下的美好时光。真正调动你的五种感官去看看你周围的景色，听音乐，闻一种可爱的气味。享受扎根于大地的感觉吧。)”可知，下文讲述的是我们应该去关注当下，关注身边的事情。选项C“Learn to focus on the present moment.(学会关注当下。)”与下文内容一致，指的都是关注当下。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Also, do your best to balance working hard and getting proper rest. Set deadlines for yourself, but be flexible.(此外，尽你最大的努力平衡努力工作和得到适当的休息。为自己设定最后期限，但要灵活。)”可知，我们应该平衡工作和休息，为自己设定期限，但是要灵活。选项F“Sometimes you have to adjust your expectations because you underestimated a task.(有时候你不得不调整你的期望，因为你低估了一项任务。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是有时候我们低估了一项任务，就应该调整最后期限，也就是上文所指的要灵活。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Every bit of progress that you make is worthy of a celebration.(你取得的每一点进步都值得庆祝。)”可知，上文指的是每一点进步都值得庆祝。选项E“Keep track of all you’re accomplishing so you can pat yourself on the back.(记下你完成的所有事情，这样你就称赞自己。)”是上文内容的延续，指的是我们每完成一件事就可以表扬自己。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了杜占平（音译）利用直播成功地让全国观众都知道传统毛毡制作技能的故事。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：在没有专业设置和补光灯的情况下，手机和手机支架是杜占平在直播中可以依靠的东西。根据空前的the和句意可知，此处使用名词absence (不在)，in the absence of (没有)，为固定短语。故填absence。
【37题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：在没有专业设置和补光灯的情况下，手机和手机座是杜占平在直播中可以依靠的东西。分析句子结构可知，本空引导表语从句，从句缺少宾语，指物，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：然而，正是通过这种基本的设置，这位46岁的男子成功地让全国观众都知道了一项传统的毛毡制作技能。分析句子结构可知，本句为强调句，强调状语through this basic set-up，本空为句子谓语，根据语境可知事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，用manage“设法做到”的过去式。故填managed。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，正是通过这种基本的设置，这位46岁的男子成功地让全国观众都知道了一项传统的毛毡制作技能。本句谓语为managed，此处为非谓语动词，且a traditional felt-making (毛毡制作) skill与know“知道”为被动关系，应用过去分词，作宾补。故填known。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：然而，随着时间的推移，人们生活水平的提高，毛毡已经越来越少使用。结合语境可知，此处使用介词with“随着”，位于句首，首字母大写。故填With。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：杜占平从零开始，自学拍摄和编辑视频，现在已经拥有了一个自豪的账号，拥有15万粉丝。此处泛指“一个自豪的账号”，且proud以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：通常情况下，他在一次直播中会收到三到五个订单。结合语境可知，此处使用副词normally“通常，正常情况下”，作状语，修饰句子，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Normally。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：他说：“在过去的几个月里，由于社交媒体的影响，我的订单数量翻了一番，其中来自网络平台的订单约占总数的70%。”根据In the past few months可知，句子时态应用现在完成时，又因主语my number of felt orders是第三人称单数，所以助动词用has。故填has doubled。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他说：“在过去的几个月里，由于社交媒体的影响，我的订单数量翻了一番，其中来自网络平台的订单约占总数的70%。”根据空前的with可知，此处为with复合结构，即：with+宾语+宾补，且those from online platforms与account for“（数量或比例上）占”为主动关系，该空用现在分词形式，作宾补。故填accounting。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：通过将非物质文化遗产引入直播间，我们可以在保留传统技艺同时将其介绍给更多的人，并扩大其市场，以增强传承人的信心和收入。结合语境可知，introduce them to more people while preserving traditional techniques与expand their markets to boost both the confidence and income of inheritors为并列关系，用表并列的并列连词and连接。故填and。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Grandma tried to straighten out her fingers.“You know, Ann, I think I am done knitting.” she said.“My fingers just won’t do what I tell them any more.”
I looked at her hands.When I was little, she had taught me how to sew dresses for my dolls and how to embroider (刺绣) the faces of my dolls on the dresses.
But now she can hardly bend her fingers.The doctor said she should keep her hands warm.I made her cups of tea to hold and moved her chair closer to the fire.But it didn’t work.
I wasn’t used to seeing her hands so still.When I came downstairs, her quiet hands made even her voice stay still.I missed her voice more than ever.
I tried to help her find her voice.“Grandma, tell me about when you were a little girl,” I begged, knowing she loved to tell stories.“Tell me about Peti and Zoe.” Peti and Zoe were her brother and sister.“That was so long ago, Ann,” whispered Grandma.“I can barely remember.” But I still remembered her story about Peti cutting off Zoe’s two beautiful long braids (辫子) and then hiding them in the closet.Were those words still moving silently in her head
Mom was sorting through our clothes for spring.“Ann, take these out to the trash,” Mom said.“There’s no need to keep worn-out clothes.”
I looked sadly at the pile of sweaters and then picked it up.
“Wait,” Grandma said as I walked by her and put the pile downstairs.“Let me see those.”
“Ann, wind the yarn (纱线) of the old sweater into a ball, like this.Then you can use the yarn to knit something new.” Grandma wrapped yarn around and around her fingers, first in one direction and then the other to keep the ball round.
After dinner Grandma fell asleep in her chair.
Mom came downstairs with an old pair of gloves with small holes to add to the pile of sweaters.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, the pair of old gloves gave me an idea.

“Your family,” I said, handing the gloves with the faces of Peti and Zoe to Grandma.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, the pair of old gloves gave me an idea. I remembered how Grandma had taught me to knit, and I thought maybe I could use the yarn from the old sweaters to make something for her. I quickly found a pair of scissors and began cutting up the sweaters, carefully winding the yarn into balls. The next morning, I showed Grandma my creations. “Look, Grandma!” I said excitedly, holding up knitted gloves. “I made this for you with the yarn from your old sweaters.” Grandma’s eyes lit up as she took the gloves from my hands.
“Your family,” I said, handing the gloves with the faces of Peti and Zoe to Grandma. “They’ll keep your hands warm, just like you used to keep me warm with your knitting.” Grandma smiled as she took the gloves and held them tightly in her hands. From that day on, Grandma’s hands were never still. She would knit and tell stories, her voice strong and clear as she remembered all the good times with her family. And every time I saw her wearing the gloves, I knew that I had given her more than just a gift. I had given her a piece of my heart, and a reminder of the love that we shared.

Award-winning Chinese shoe designer, Huang Qinqin, shares her transformative journey, combining cultural heritage and international design to shape the art of practical wear.
Believing that the value of her products doesn’t lie in business operation, Huang always focuses on how to convey the stories behind her shoes to customers instead.“It is like storytelling, a natural ability I possess,” she said with a smile.
However, Huang’s journey into design was unforeseen and it took her several years to discover her true passion. Huang switched her major from physics to international communications studies at university.While she found great enjoyment in these courses, she still didn’t know what she could do in the future.
“One day, I grabbed a sheet of paper and began drawing some shoe designs I saw online.It was at that moment that the light suddenly dawned.” recalled Huang.
To her astonishment, Huang discovered while international luxury shoe brands like Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin are household names, Chinese brands are rarely seen.This finding fueled Huang’s determination to pursue her career as a shoe designer, hoping to fill the blank in the international market.
After returning to China from the UK, Huang established her own shoe brand.“I think Chinese students studying abroad today all share a strong sense of mission—to showcase what China truly has to offer to the world,” Huang said.
Looking back, Huang said that she took a long time to finally find her lifelong passion.“There is a saying that one must achieve fame at a young age, but I believe it is never too late to unlock one’s potential, since everyone operates on their unique ‘time zone’,” she said.
Before her current career path, Huang never stopped trying new things, including garden design and dance.These diverse experiences have all become precious treasures in her life, nurturing her self-directed learning abilities, which have turned out to be essential skills for her startup business today.
4. What does Huang value most about her products
A. Design concept. B. Market share.
C. Quality standard. D. Business operation.
5. What further motivated Huang Qinqin to be a shoe designer

B. Lack of Chinese brands in the field.
C. Desire to challenge conventional norms.
D. Love for international luxury shoe brands.
6. What can best describe Huang
A. Creative and flexible.
B. Ambitious and easy-going.
C. Talented and accessible.

B. Think twice before you leap.
C. Every step counts in your life.
D. It matters much when you succeed.

The opening of California’s commercial crab season, which normally starts in November, is delayed once again to protect whales searching for their prey (猎物) along the coast.
California has been affected by a marine heat wave since May. The Blob, as this mass of warm water has become known, is squeezing cooler water preferred by whales and their prey close to shore, where fishermen set their traps. This crowding can lead to tangle (缠结) between whales and fishing equipment, endangering the animals’ lives and requiring rescue missions.
In a new study, scientists say they can now use global temperature models, commonly used in climate science, to predict up to a year in advance when hot ocean temperatures raise the risk of tangles between whales and fishing equipment.The tool analyzed in the new study, called the Habitat Compression Index, works by feeding sea-surface temperature measurements into an equation (方程式) that estimates the likelihood of whale habitat shrinking closer to shore.Regulators and fishermen agree that the new forecasting research could help them walk the tightrope between protecting whales and protecting local livelihoods (生计).
Mr Ogg, a commercial fishing boat captain, describes himself as a conservationist who doesn’t want to see whales harmed.“Fishermen have a big motivation to protect the natural environment,” he said, “because that’s where they make their living.” Previously, the challenge was adapting to changing conditions and fishing regulations on short notice, especially for smaller business owners and their crews.“One of the biggest problems we had was the unpredictability,” Mr Ogg said, “We were living from week to week then.”
Though scientists have shown the Habitat Compression Index can now forecast months in advance, state officials would probably wait to see conditions in real time before making decisions about the crab fishery, said Ryan Bartling, an environmental scientist at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
8. What do the whales come to shore for according to the first two paragraphs
A. Safety. B. Shelter. C. Leisure. D. Food.
9. What does the underlined phrase “walk the tightrope” probably mean
A. To take a risk. B. To join in an act.
C. To strike a balance. D. To walk on a rope.
10. What’s the state officials’ attitude towards the tool in the study
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Cautious. D. Pessimistic.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How climate data gives whales room to swim
B. What causes the decrease in whale population
C. Why global temperature models are in great need
D. Whether to protect whales or the local livelihoods
D
Sharon Roseman was five years old when her world changed forever.She was playing Blind Man’s Bluff with friends outside her house.When she removed her blindfold (眼罩), she couldn’t recognize where she was.From that moment on, Roseman has been lost every day of her life.
Roseman is not alone in her experience.As an adult living in Denver, Colorado, in 2008, Roseman was diagnosed with a rare and newly discovered condition called Developmental Topographical Disorientation(DTD), which is a disorder that dramatically affects people’s abilities to navigate their familiar environment.
Dr. Giuseppe Iaria of the University of Calgary in Canada is credited with first identifying DTD.He confirms that odd as it sounds, people with DTD have no brain damage. He thinks genetic factors are likely to be responsible for it.
Paul Dudchenko from the University of Stirling in the United Kingdom, has what he calls a place-cell theory. He says we get lost because all our hippocampal cells appear to be connected to landmarks. “They use things in the environment to orientate (确定方向) themselves and create a cognitive map,” he says. “If we don’t have things in the outside world to update the cognitive map, then it is likely to error.” That’s why people who are lost in a snowstorm, for instance, tend to go in circles. They think they’re heading in the right direction, but without external reference points their brain is unable to form a cognitive map, so they naturally tend to get lost.
“There seems to be a systematic error in the way people with DTD place landmarks in their mind,” Dudchenko says. How exactly this happens is still under investigation, but Dudchenko thinks the answer lies in the relationship between the various regions of the brain responsible for spatial cognition (空间认知).
For his part, Giuseppe Iaria is continuing with his research.Some of his recent work has focused on the role genes play in DTD.As well as helping sufferers of DTD, Iaria believes his research will offer an explanation for why some people are better at finding their way than others.While top researchers have more to learn, they are confident the answers won’t stay lost in the complexity of the brain forever.
12. Why does the author mention Roseman’s experience
A. To inform us of a sad story.
B. To give us background information.
C. To introduce a rare disease.
D. To support the author’s argument.
13. What trouble would people with DTD have
A. Navigating novel and unfamiliar environments.
B. Remembering the layout of their neighborhood.
C. Understanding the detailed information on a map.
D. Recalling the names of familiar places and people.
14. What does Dudchenko say about DTD
A. It gives rise to severe brain damage.
B. It happens when cognitive map fails.
C. It connects one’s brain and cognition.
D. It arises from a systematic genetic error.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Genes play the most important role in DTD.
B. The ability to find one’s way can be improved.
C. Iaria’s research has already helped sufferers of DTD.
D. The truth about DTD will be brought to light someday.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Grandma tried to straighten out her fingers.“You know, Ann, I think I am done knitting.” she said.“My fingers just won’t do what I tell them any more.”
I looked at her hands.When I was little, she had taught me how to sew dresses for my dolls and how to embroider (刺绣) the faces of my dolls on the dresses.
But now she can hardly bend her fingers.The doctor said she should keep her hands warm.I made her cups of tea to hold and moved her chair closer to the fire.But it didn’t work.
I wasn’t used to seeing her hands so still.When I came downstairs, her quiet hands made even her voice stay still.I missed her voice more than ever.
I tried to help her find her voice.“Grandma, tell me about when you were a little girl,” I begged, knowing she loved to tell stories.“Tell me about Peti and Zoe.” Peti and Zoe were her brother and sister.“That was so long ago, Ann,” whispered Grandma.“I can barely remember.” But I still remembered her story about Peti cutting off Zoe’s two beautiful long braids (辫子) and then hiding them in the closet.Were those words still moving silently in her head
Mom was sorting through our clothes for spring.“Ann, take these out to the trash,” Mom said.“There’s no need to keep worn-out clothes.”
I looked sadly at the pile of sweaters and then picked it up.
“Wait,” Grandma said as I walked by her and put the pile downstairs.“Let me see those.”
“Ann, wind the yarn (纱线) of the old sweater into a ball, like this.Then you can use the yarn to knit something new.” Grandma wrapped yarn around and around her fingers, first in one direction and then the other to keep the ball round.
After dinner Grandma fell asleep in her chair.
Mom came downstairs with an old pair of gloves with small holes to add to the pile of sweaters.
