If Dhruv Rebba, an Indian American, had to live on a remote island, he would bring a ham radio kit (业余无线电设备) along. “The island wouldn’t have cellular connectivity (蜂窝数据连接), of course. Ham radio would be the best option to contact someone as it uses the ionosphere (电离层) to communicate instead of cellular towers. “That’s why we use it when mobile phone networks are destroyed during natural disasters,” he said in an interview.
When Rebba was nine, he received his ham radio technician license, becoming the youngest person of Indian origin then to receive it. “My dad has been a ham radio operator for the past 25 years. When I was in the third grade, I persuaded him to take me along to the Dayton Hamvention, where I was totally amazed by some cool stuff including Morse code keyers. From then on, I decided to go further in this field,” Rebba said.
In 2017, Rebba was part of the Amateur (业余的) Radio on the International Space Station(ARISS) project. It involves amateur radio operators across the world, speaking directly to astronauts through their radio stations. After three tries, I received the approval. As I have an amateur radio license, I was able to make my initial contact. 16 students across America were given the chance to ask Joseph M. Acaba, who was then on the International Space Station(ISS), 23 questions, Rebba explained.
Besides being a ham radio operator, Rebba is also the CEO of Universal Help Foundation. “I once visited my dad’s village in India where I noticed the gap in the standard of living. That’s what stimulated me to start Universal Help Foundation—to create an impact,” said Rebba. He named the foundation Universal Help Foundation rather than limiting it to environmental sustainability or disaster relief. Instead, he wanted to bridge the gap.
Meanwhile, Rebba hopes to get further high up in space. However, the overall picture of the ham radio field is unpleasant. “The ham population is aging and fewer youngsters are drawn to it. Now we all have cell phones and the younger crowd doesn’t see the everyday use of ham radio as important,” Rebba added.
4．What characterizes ham radio
A. Being able to connect to cellular towers.
B. Being a reliable means of communication.
C. Being effective in predicting natural disasters.
D. Being quick to repair a broken mobile network.
5．How would Rebba describe the experience of visiting the Dayton Hamvention
A. Boring. B. Moving. C. Confusing. D. Inspiring.
6．Why did Rebba start Universal Help Foundation
A. To improve the lives of the poor.
B. To raise people’s environmental awareness.
C. To provide disaster relief for remote villages.
D. To strengthen the connections among villagers.
7．What is Rebba’s main concern
A. Ham radio has become a dying hobby.
B. Ham radio is useless in certain situations.
C. Young people are addicted to cell phones.
D. Young people attach little importance to technology.
Paris is full of cultural significance. Yet, despite its wealth of cultural hotspots and architectural delights, some tourists who explore the City of Light experience “Paris syndrome (巴黎综合征), a psychological condition that often results in nausea (恶心) and increased heart rates. An interesting phenomenon is that Paris syndrome is “most common among Japanese tourists”. Why
Many Japanese visitors go with a deeply romantic picture of Paris—the beauty of French women, the high culture and art. But when the reality of the modern city of Paris sets in, with its seemingly unfriendly service and confusing public transport, some tourists simply find their hope falling through.
“An encounter with a Parisian waiter who shouts at customers might be laughed off by those from other Western cultures. But for the Japanese—used to a society where politeness is valued and voices are rarely raised in anger—the experience of their dream city turning into a nightmare (噩梦) can simply be too much,” said Rodanthi Tzanelli, a professor of cultural sociology.
So Paris syndrome should be regarded as an extreme form of culture shock, which is an illness resulting from the loss of meaning when people find themselves in a different symbolic reality, according to Rachel Irwin, a senior researcher. The symptoms (症状) associated with culture shock are similar to those experienced by someone who is feeling anxious. According to the analysis (分析) of Calm Clinic, a mental health resource platform, when someone is experiencing anxiety, signals that are related to the fight or flight response will be sent to the stomach. The signals change the way the body processes food, causing nausea.
Besides, Tzanelli points out that the syndrome is not specific to Paris and nobody can be free of culture shock as long as they go to new places. The syndrome is likely a “general phenomenon”, as younger generations tend to travel to different countries, and are likely to be more aware of what they’ll encounter at a destination. Therefore, they’re unlikely to be bitterly disappointed when they’re there.
8．Why do Japanese tourists experience great discomfort in Paris
A. Paris lacks real historical and cultural hotspots.
B. Paris fails to meet their romantic expectations.
C. They find Paris’ public transport less modern.
D. They cannot adapt to the local climate.
9．What does Rodanthi Tzanelli aim to explain in paragraph 3
A. How culture influences the behavior of tourists.
B. How Japanese tourists react to Paris syndrome.
C. Why Paris syndrome particularly strikes the Japanese.
D. Why the Japanese value politeness and avoid conflicts.
10．What does Calm Clinic’s analysis stress
A. People’s inability to adapt to new cultures.
B. The methods of overcoming culture shock.
C. People’s varied attitudes to different cultures.
D. The physical discomfort caused by culture shock.
11．What will be the author’s advice on overcoming Paris syndrome
A. To be prepared for new encounters in advance.
B. To focus on the positive aspects of a destination.
C. To visit new places together with young people.
D. To avoid going to unfamiliar destinations.
On an October morning in 2021, ornithologist (鸟类学家) Mark A. Michaels spotted a bird in a forest, which he first thought was a duck based on its size and long neck. But then he noticed it sometimes folding its wings during flight, something he says that ducks don’t do-but woodpeckers do. “Ivory-billed woodpecker (象牙喙啄木鸟)!” he shouted, certain that the bird was a species that hasn’t been clearly identified in the wild since 1944.
Michaels has had several possible ivory-bill encounters, but he couldn’t be fully certain. This sighting was different. “That was the first time I had been absolutely sure,” he says.
But not everyone agrees this woodpecker remains in the wild. In September 2021, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) put forward a ruling that would declare the ivory-billed woodpecker, along with 22 other species, extinct. However, the supportive data are debated. As a result, on July 6,2022, the agency gave the woodpecker an extension of six months before deciding whether to strip away its protected status (地位) as an existing endangered species.
This case highlights some challenges researchers face in determining whether a species has actually gone extinct. “It’s difficult to prove the absence of something,” says ecologist H. Resit Akcakaya, and so a lack of sightings is not necessarily evidence of extinction.
Moreover, there are costs to making the wrong call about a species’ existence in the wild. Continuing to classify (界定) an actually extinct species as endangered can misdirect financial resources away from protecting vulnerable (脆弱的) species to searching for ones that no longer exist. On the other hand, declaring something extinct when it isn’t can do further harm to a struggling species. “If we think a species is extinct, we no longer have to protect it,” Akcakaya says, “and then it may actually go extinct.”
In the case of the ivory-billed woodpecker, Michaels could do nothing but await USFWS’s ruling. But he was glad that the agency gave the extension. “I’m personally one hundred percent sure that it’s out there,” says Michaels.
12．What can we learn about the ivory-billed woodpecker from the first paragraph
A. It was spotted many times. B. It became extinct in 1944.
C. It looked a bit similar to a duck. D. Its wings were always spread during flight.
13．What does the underlined phrase “strip away” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Confirm. B. Discuss. C. Create. D. Remove.
14．What do researchers find difficult when determining extinct species
A. Winning the trust of the public.
B. Providing proof of their extinction.
C. Deciding which species are valuable.
D. Getting financial support for the research.
15．What will happen if a species is believed to be extinct
A. New protection measures will be carried out.
B. There will be a huge waste of financial resources.
C. The protection of this species will come to an end.
D. Researchers will conduct further studies on this species.

34．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。
At 6 pm in the mall on Christmas Eve, I was tired from my part-time job as an elf (精灵) helping Santa with kids’ photos to earn money during the December of my sixteenth year.
Everyone was very busy. I looked over at Shelly, our manager, and she gave me an encouraging smile. Instead of angrily shouting at her workers, she always positively encouraged us and stood behind us. Under her leadership, we had achieved the highest number of mall photo sales in California.
I knew it was a difficult holiday season for her —she was experiencing a family crisis. I hoped she knew how great she was and what a difference she had made to her workers and all little children coming to have their pictures taken.
Our Santa booth(摊位)was open until seven. At six, things started slowing down and I finally took a break. Although I didn’t have much money, I really wanted to buy a little gift for Shelly so that she’d know we appreciated her support.
I got to a store just as they locked the door. “We’re closed!” cried the tired clerk. I looked around, noticing all the stores had already closed. I was really upset. I had been working all day and had missed buying her a present by one minute.
On my way back to the Santa booth, I saw Nordstrom was still open. Fearful that they would also close at any moment, I hurried inside and toward the Gift Gallery. I found other shoppers were all well-dressed and wealthy; I was a poor teenager in an elf costume. How could I find anything under fifteen dollars in such an elegant store
A saleswoman came over, asking if she could help me. Then, everyone in the department turned around and stared. Quietly, I said, “No, that’s okay. Just help somebody else.” She looked right at me, smiling, “But I want to help you. By the way, I’m Stephanie.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答；

Paragraph1:
I had to tell her who I was buying a gift for, and then admitted I only had $15.

By now the store was closed, but she stayed to help me wrap the hat.

11．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“The syndrome is likely a “general phenomenon”, as younger generations tend to travel to different countries, and are likely to be more aware of what they’ll encounter at a destination.

12．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段“On an October morning in 2021, ornithologist (鸟类学家) Mark A. Michaels spotted a bird in a forest, which he first thought was a duck based on its size and long neck.(2021年10月的一个早晨，鸟类学家马克·A·迈克尔斯(Mark a . Michaels)在森林里发现了一只鸟，根据它的体型和长长的脖子，他首先认为这是一只鸭子。)”可知，象牙喙啄木鸟看起来像一只鸭子。故选C。

However, the supportive data are debated.(但并不是所有人都同意这种啄木鸟仍然生活在野外。2021年9月，美国鱼类和野生动物管理局(USFWS)提出了一项裁决，宣布象牙喙啄木鸟和其他22种物种灭绝。然而，支持性数据存在争议。)”可知，划线词所在的句子意思是：因此，在2022年7月6日，该机构在决定是否取消其作为现有濒危物种的保护地位之前，给了象牙喙啄木鸟六个月的延期。由此可知，strip away意为“去除，消除”。故选D。
14．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段“This case highlights some challenges researchers face in determining whether a species has actually gone extinct. “It’s difficult to prove the absence of something,” says ecologist H.

34．答案：
Paragraph 1:
I had to tell her who I was buying a gift for, and then admitted I only had $15. She looked pleased and thoughtful as if I had just asked to spend $1500. Carefully she went around and finally selected a nice hat that cost $14.09. Just as I paid, the store’s closing time came. I was thinking that if I could take it home and wrap it, I could make it really pretty but I didn’t have time. As if reading my mind, she said, “Do you need this wrapped ” I nodded gratefully.
Paragraph2:
By now the store was closed, but she stayed to help me wrap the hat. When she finished and handed it to me, I was so happy and sincerely thanked her. Then I hurried back to the Santa booth. “Merry Christmas, Shelly,” I said. My manager was shocked to see the present; she was so touched and happy. I hoped it would give a happy start to her Christmas. All through the holidays I couldn’t stop thinking of the saleswoman. Her kindness warmed my heart.

If Dhruv Rebba, an Indian American, had to live on a remote island, he would bring a ham radio kit (业余无线电设备) along. “The island wouldn’t have cellular connectivity (蜂窝数据连接), of course. Ham radio would be the best option to contact someone as it uses the ionosphere (电离层) to communicate instead of cellular towers. “That’s why we use it when mobile phone networks are destroyed during natural disasters,” he said in an interview.
When Rebba was nine, he received his ham radio technician license, becoming the youngest person of Indian origin then to receive it. “My dad has been a ham radio operator for the past 25 years. When I was in the third grade, I persuaded him to take me along to the Dayton Hamvention, where I was totally amazed by some cool stuff including Morse code keyers. From then on, I decided to go further in this field,” Rebba said.
In 2017, Rebba was part of the Amateur (业余的) Radio on the International Space Station(ARISS) project. It involves amateur radio operators across the world, speaking directly to astronauts through their radio stations. After three tries, I received the approval. As I have an amateur radio license, I was able to make my initial contact. 16 students across America were given the chance to ask Joseph M. Acaba, who was then on the International Space Station(ISS), 23 questions, Rebba explained.
Besides being a ham radio operator, Rebba is also the CEO of Universal Help Foundation. “I once visited my dad’s village in India where I noticed the gap in the standard of living. That’s what stimulated me to start Universal Help Foundation—to create an impact,” said Rebba. He named the foundation Universal Help Foundation rather than limiting it to environmental sustainability or disaster relief. Instead, he wanted to bridge the gap.
Meanwhile, Rebba hopes to get further high up in space. However, the overall picture of the ham radio field is unpleasant. “The ham population is aging and fewer youngsters are drawn to it. Now we all have cell phones and the younger crowd doesn’t see the everyday use of ham radio as important,” Rebba added.
4．What characterizes ham radio
A. Being able to connect to cellular towers.
B. Being a reliable means of communication.
C. Being effective in predicting natural disasters.
D. Being quick to repair a broken mobile network.
5．How would Rebba describe the experience of visiting the Dayton Hamvention
A. Boring. B. Moving. C. Confusing. D. Inspiring.
6．Why did Rebba start Universal Help Foundation
A. To improve the lives of the poor.
B. To raise people’s environmental awareness.
C. To provide disaster relief for remote villages.
D. To strengthen the connections among villagers.
7．What is Rebba’s main concern
A. Ham radio has become a dying hobby.
B. Ham radio is useless in certain situations.
C. Young people are addicted to cell phones.
D. Young people attach little importance to technology.
Paris is full of cultural significance. Yet, despite its wealth of cultural hotspots and architectural delights, some tourists who explore the City of Light experience “Paris syndrome (巴黎综合征), a psychological condition that often results in nausea (恶心) and increased heart rates. An interesting phenomenon is that Paris syndrome is “most common among Japanese tourists”. Why
Many Japanese visitors go with a deeply romantic picture of Paris—the beauty of French women, the high culture and art. But when the reality of the modern city of Paris sets in, with its seemingly unfriendly service and confusing public transport, some tourists simply find their hope falling through.
“An encounter with a Parisian waiter who shouts at customers might be laughed off by those from other Western cultures. But for the Japanese—used to a society where politeness is valued and voices are rarely raised in anger—the experience of their dream city turning into a nightmare (噩梦) can simply be too much,” said Rodanthi Tzanelli, a professor of cultural sociology.
So Paris syndrome should be regarded as an extreme form of culture shock, which is an illness resulting from the loss of meaning when people find themselves in a different symbolic reality, according to Rachel Irwin, a senior researcher. The symptoms (症状) associated with culture shock are similar to those experienced by someone who is feeling anxious. According to the analysis (分析) of Calm Clinic, a mental health resource platform, when someone is experiencing anxiety, signals that are related to the fight or flight response will be sent to the stomach. The signals change the way the body processes food, causing nausea.
Besides, Tzanelli points out that the syndrome is not specific to Paris and nobody can be free of culture shock as long as they go to new places. The syndrome is likely a “general phenomenon”, as younger generations tend to travel to different countries, and are likely to be more aware of what they’ll encounter at a destination. Therefore, they’re unlikely to be bitterly disappointed when they’re there.
8．Why do Japanese tourists experience great discomfort in Paris
A. Paris lacks real historical and cultural hotspots.
B. Paris fails to meet their romantic expectations.
C. They find Paris’ public transport less modern.
D. They cannot adapt to the local climate.
9．What does Rodanthi Tzanelli aim to explain in paragraph 3
A. How culture influences the behavior of tourists.
B. How Japanese tourists react to Paris syndrome.
C. Why Paris syndrome particularly strikes the Japanese.
D. Why the Japanese value politeness and avoid conflicts.
10．What does Calm Clinic’s analysis stress
A. People’s inability to adapt to new cultures.
B. The methods of overcoming culture shock.
C. People’s varied attitudes to different cultures.
D. The physical discomfort caused by culture shock.
11．What will be the author’s advice on overcoming Paris syndrome
A. To be prepared for new encounters in advance.
B. To focus on the positive aspects of a destination.
C. To visit new places together with young people.
D. To avoid going to unfamiliar destinations.
On an October morning in 2021, ornithologist (鸟类学家) Mark A. Michaels spotted a bird in a forest, which he first thought was a duck based on its size and long neck. But then he noticed it sometimes folding its wings during flight, something he says that ducks don’t do-but woodpeckers do. “Ivory-billed woodpecker (象牙喙啄木鸟)!” he shouted, certain that the bird was a species that hasn’t been clearly identified in the wild since 1944.
Michaels has had several possible ivory-bill encounters, but he couldn’t be fully certain. This sighting was different. “That was the first time I had been absolutely sure,” he says.
But not everyone agrees this woodpecker remains in the wild. In September 2021, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) put forward a ruling that would declare the ivory-billed woodpecker, along with 22 other species, extinct. However, the supportive data are debated. As a result, on July 6,2022, the agency gave the woodpecker an extension of six months before deciding whether to strip away its protected status (地位) as an existing endangered species.
This case highlights some challenges researchers face in determining whether a species has actually gone extinct. “It’s difficult to prove the absence of something,” says ecologist H. Resit Akcakaya, and so a lack of sightings is not necessarily evidence of extinction.
Moreover, there are costs to making the wrong call about a species’ existence in the wild. Continuing to classify (界定) an actually extinct species as endangered can misdirect financial resources away from protecting vulnerable (脆弱的) species to searching for ones that no longer exist. On the other hand, declaring something extinct when it isn’t can do further harm to a struggling species. “If we think a species is extinct, we no longer have to protect it,” Akcakaya says, “and then it may actually go extinct.”
In the case of the ivory-billed woodpecker, Michaels could do nothing but await USFWS’s ruling. But he was glad that the agency gave the extension. “I’m personally one hundred percent sure that it’s out there,” says Michaels.
12．What can we learn about the ivory-billed woodpecker from the first paragraph
A. It was spotted many times. B. It became extinct in 1944.
C. It looked a bit similar to a duck. D. Its wings were always spread during flight.
13．What does the underlined phrase “strip away” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Confirm. B. Discuss. C. Create. D. Remove.
14．What do researchers find difficult when determining extinct species
A. Winning the trust of the public.
B. Providing proof of their extinction.
C. Deciding which species are valuable.
D. Getting financial support for the research.
15．What will happen if a species is believed to be extinct
A. New protection measures will be carried out.
B. There will be a huge waste of financial resources.
C. The protection of this species will come to an end.
D. Researchers will conduct further studies on this species.

34．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。
At 6 pm in the mall on Christmas Eve, I was tired from my part-time job as an elf (精灵) helping Santa with kids’ photos to earn money during the December of my sixteenth year.
Everyone was very busy. I looked over at Shelly, our manager, and she gave me an encouraging smile. Instead of angrily shouting at her workers, she always positively encouraged us and stood behind us. Under her leadership, we had achieved the highest number of mall photo sales in California.
I knew it was a difficult holiday season for her —she was experiencing a family crisis. I hoped she knew how great she was and what a difference she had made to her workers and all little children coming to have their pictures taken.
Our Santa booth(摊位)was open until seven. At six, things started slowing down and I finally took a break. Although I didn’t have much money, I really wanted to buy a little gift for Shelly so that she’d know we appreciated her support.
I got to a store just as they locked the door. “We’re closed!” cried the tired clerk. I looked around, noticing all the stores had already closed. I was really upset. I had been working all day and had missed buying her a present by one minute.
On my way back to the Santa booth, I saw Nordstrom was still open. Fearful that they would also close at any moment, I hurried inside and toward the Gift Gallery. I found other shoppers were all well-dressed and wealthy; I was a poor teenager in an elf costume. How could I find anything under fifteen dollars in such an elegant store
A saleswoman came over, asking if she could help me. Then, everyone in the department turned around and stared. Quietly, I said, “No, that’s okay. Just help somebody else.” She looked right at me, smiling, “But I want to help you. By the way, I’m Stephanie.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答；

I had to tell her who I was buying a gift for, and then admitted I only had $15.

By now the store was closed, but she stayed to help me wrap the hat.

8．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“Many Japanese visitors go with a deeply romantic picture of Paris—the beauty of French women, the high culture and art.

10．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The symptoms (症状) associated with culture shock are similar to those experienced by someone who is feeling anxious. According to the analysis (分析) of Calm Clinic, a mental health resource platform, when someone is experiencing anxiety, signals that are related to the fight or flight response will be sent to the stomach. The signals change the way the body processes food, causing nausea.(与文化冲击相关的症状与感到焦虑的人所经历的症状相似。根据心理健康资源平台Calm Clinic的分析，当一个人感到焦虑时，与战斗或逃跑反应相关的信号会被发送到胃里。这些信号改变了身体处理食物的方式，导致恶心。)”可知，Calm Clinic的分析强调了文化冲击引起的身体不适。故选D。
11．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“The syndrome is likely a “general phenomenon”, as younger generations tend to travel to different countries, and are likely to be more aware of what they’ll encounter at a destination. Therefore, they’re unlikely to be bitterly disappointed when they’re there.(这种综合症可能是一种“普遍现象”，因为年轻一代倾向于去不同的国家旅行，并且可能更清楚他们在目的地会遇到什么。因此，当他们在那里时，他们不太可能感到非常失望。)”可知，作者的建议是提前为新的遭遇做好准备。故选A。

13．答案：D
解析：词句猜测题。根据上文“But not everyone agrees this woodpecker remains in the wild. In September 2021, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) put forward a ruling that would declare the ivory-billed woodpecker, along with 22 other species, extinct. However, the supportive data are debated.(但并不是所有人都同意这种啄木鸟仍然生活在野外。2021年9月，美国鱼类和野生动物管理局(USFWS)提出了一项裁决，宣布象牙喙啄木鸟和其他22种物种灭绝。然而，支持性数据存在争议。)”可知，划线词所在的句子意思是：因此，在2022年7月6日，该机构在决定是否取消其作为现有濒危物种的保护地位之前，给了象牙喙啄木鸟六个月的延期。由此可知，strip away意为“去除，消除”。故选D。
14．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段“This case highlights some challenges researchers face in determining whether a species has actually gone extinct. “It’s difficult to prove the absence of something,” says ecologist H. Resit Akcakaya, and so a lack of sightings is not necessarily evidence of extinction.( 这个案例凸显了研究人员在确定一个物种是否真的灭绝时所面临的一些挑战。生态学家H. Resit Akcakaya说:“很难证明没有什么东西”，所以没有目击到并不一定是灭绝的证据。)”可知，研究人员发现，在确定灭绝物种时，很难提供它们灭绝的证据。故选B。
15．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段““If we think a species is extinct, we no longer have to protect it,” Akcakaya says, “and then it may actually go extinct.”(“如果我们认为一个物种灭绝了，我们就不再需要保护它，”阿卡卡亚说，“然后它可能真的灭绝了。”)”可知，如果一个物种被认为已经灭绝，对这个物种的保护就会结束。故选C。

I would love to be as organized as you.”(如果你喜欢另一个同事做事有条理，告诉他/她：‘我真的很欣赏你做事有条理。我希望能像你一样有条理’)”可知，此处举例赞美你欣赏对方的地方。由此可知，G. Use compliments like this for any quality that you appreciate in a person.(对于你欣赏的人身上的任何品质，你都可以这样赞美)符合语境，like this呼应下面的距离，appreciate呼应下文I really appreciate和I would love。故选G项。

34．答案：
Paragraph 1:
I had to tell her who I was buying a gift for, and then admitted I only had $15. She looked pleased and thoughtful as if I had just asked to spend $1500. Carefully she went around and finally selected a nice hat that cost $14.09. Just as I paid, the store’s closing time came. I was thinking that if I could take it home and wrap it, I could make it really pretty but I didn’t have time. As if reading my mind, she said, “Do you need this wrapped ” I nodded gratefully.
Paragraph2:
By now the store was closed, but she stayed to help me wrap the hat. When she finished and handed it to me, I was so happy and sincerely thanked her. Then I hurried back to the Santa booth. “Merry Christmas, Shelly,” I said. My manager was shocked to see the present; she was so touched and happy. I hoped it would give a happy start to her Christmas. All through the holidays I couldn’t stop thinking of the saleswoman. Her kindness warmed my heart.
