I was cutting up lettuce (生菜) in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a video about putting the lettuce stub (残余部分) in water to grow a whole new vegetable. So I took out a wide-mouthed mug (大杯) and placed the stub into it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the window.
On a snowy morning, I noticed the first sign. A first small leaf from its heart spread out. A tiny green flag of hope. Beaten, but not defeated. Within days, it was impossible to see the cuts where I had removed the leaves. The growth was explosive. And when I lifted the blossoming head out of the mug, tiny root threads fell down, seeking for the earth. What is growing here Lettuce or hope
If I were a lettuce in a similar condition, I’d want to doubtfully assess where I found myself before being devoted to full growth. Yet for this lettuce, my inadequate offering of water and a place by a window was enough for it to decide to reclaim itself again. It grew in a mug of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided to call it Monty.
Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two ingredients were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency of all living things.
Monty still lives in a mug, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my capacity to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger.
I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in, or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave.
4 Why did the author put the stub in water
A. To hope that it would grow. B. To decorate the nice mug.
C. To play a game. D. To remove his bad mood.
5. What is the first sign of life in the author’s eyes
A. The remaining stub. B. The small leaf.
C. The disappearing cuts. D. The tiny root threads.
6. How would the author feel if in the lettuce’s situation
A. Hesitant. B. Fearless. C. Confident. D. Annoyed.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Enjoy your own life to the fullest B. Believe in yourself when in trouble
C. Never be afraid to restart yourself D. Give freedom to the heart in a way
C
Endangered polar bears are breeding with grizzly bears, creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.
As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids (杂交种), “pizzly” bears.
With features that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. “Usually, the hybrids,“pizzly” bears aren’t better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a wider range of food sources, ” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.
The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears’ decrease: their number is estimated to go down by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is related partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears’ ranges, but also to polar bears’ highly specialized diets.
“Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals. “Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources like seabird eggs.” Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out(抵消) those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.
“We’re having massive impacts with climate change on species,” DeSantis said. “The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, “pizzly” bears could be a sad but necessary compromise(妥协) given current warming trends.”
8. Why do polar bears move further south
A. To create hybrids. B. To expand territory.
C. To deal with hunger. D. To contact grizzlies.
9. What makes “pizzly” bears adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents
A. Wider habitats. B. More food choices.
C. Climate preference. D. Improved breeding ability.
10. What can we learn about polar bears from the passage
A. Polar bears are increasing. B. Polar bears like soft foods.
C. Polar bears hate fat meals such as seals. D. Climate change can benefit polar bears.
11. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Polar bears are changing diets for climate change.
B. Polar bears have already adjusted to climate change.
C. “Pizzly” bears are on the rise because of global warming.
D. “Pizzly” bears have replaced polar bears for global warming.
D
It is calculated that some of the world’s 7,000 languages are in danger of getting extinct. “For example, Ainu, a language in Japan, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers remaining,“ said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in England.
The scientists found that 25 percent of the world’s languages are threatened(威胁)．After identifying where the endangered(濒危的)languages were，they looked for any environmental and social or economic factors those languages might have in common, such as poor areas or rapid population growth. “We find that at the global scale, language speaker declines are strongly linked to economic growth-that is, declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions,” said Amano.
“One important finding of this new study is that languages in the tropics and Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future, because these regions still have many local languages with a small number of speakers, and at the same time are experiencing rapid economic growth,” said Amano.
Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons. For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more popular language as offering economic opportunities, and thus abandon their own languages. “There are other important factors that might endanger languages,” said the researchers. For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country, and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language endangerment.
Amano suggested it could be possible to forecast(预见)future threats to the diversity(多样化) of languages. “There exists detailed information on future changes in the environment， economies and climates(气候)，”Amano said. “Using such information，together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we would like to understand what will happen to the world’s languages, where it will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular.”
12. What can we know about Ainu
A. It has changed little over the years.
B. It threatens Japanese language.
C. It is a local language in Japan.
D. It is put under protection.
13 What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. What should be taught in schools.
B. What might endanger a language.
C. How economic growth is achieved.
D. How a language becomes popular.
14. What does Amano mean in the last paragraph
A. We must take action to save the environment.
B. More and more languages will get missing.
C. It will be easier to learn language changes.
D. Factors threatening languages will double.
15. What can be known from the study
A. Over 7,000 languages have been threatened.
B. Local language must be spoken in every school.
C. It is possible to use only one language worldwide.
D. The number of tropics’ local language speakers may become smaller in the future.

However, in America and some European countries, it is not only seen as appropriate but also necessary because it means the person is paying attention.

I was cutting up lettuce (生菜) in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a video about putting the lettuce stub (残余部分) in water to grow a whole new vegetable. So I took out a wide-mouthed mug (大杯) and placed the stub into it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the window.
On a snowy morning, I noticed the first sign. A first small leaf from its heart spread out. A tiny green flag of hope. Beaten, but not defeated. Within days, it was impossible to see the cuts where I had removed the leaves. The growth was explosive. And when I lifted the blossoming head out of the mug, tiny root threads fell down, seeking for the earth. What is growing here Lettuce or hope
If I were a lettuce in a similar condition, I’d want to doubtfully assess where I found myself before being devoted to full growth. Yet for this lettuce, my inadequate offering of water and a place by a window was enough for it to decide to reclaim itself again. It grew in a mug of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided to call it Monty.
Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two ingredients were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency of all living things.
Monty still lives in a mug, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my capacity to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger.
I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in, or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave.

Endangered polar bears are breeding with grizzly bears, creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.
As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids (杂交种), “pizzly” bears.
With features that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. “Usually, the hybrids,“pizzly” bears aren’t better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a wider range of food sources, ” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.
The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears’ decrease: their number is estimated to go down by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is related partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears’ ranges, but also to polar bears’ highly specialized diets.
“Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals. “Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources like seabird eggs.” Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out(抵消) those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.
“We’re having massive impacts with climate change on species,” DeSantis said. “The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, “pizzly” bears could be a sad but necessary compromise(妥协) given current warming trends.”
8. Why do polar bears move further south
A. To create hybrids. B. To expand territory.
C. To deal with hunger. D. To contact grizzlies.
9. What makes “pizzly” bears adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents
A. Wider habitats. B. More food choices.
C. Climate preference. D. Improved breeding ability.
10. What can we learn about polar bears from the passage
A. Polar bears are increasing. B. Polar bears like soft foods.
C. Polar bears hate fat meals such as seals. D. Climate change can benefit polar bears.
11. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Polar bears are changing diets for climate change.
B. Polar bears have already adjusted to climate change.
C. “Pizzly” bears are on the rise because of global warming.
D. “Pizzly” bears have replaced polar bears for global warming.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由于气候变暖，濒危北极熊正在与灰熊一起繁殖，创造出“小灰熊”，杂交的“小灰熊”数量正在增加，这说明全球气候正在变得更糟糕。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards.(随着世界变暖和北极海冰变薄，饥饿的北极熊被迫越来越向南，在那里它们遇到灰熊，灰熊的活动范围正在向北扩展)”可知，北极熊向南迁移是为了缓解饥饿。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““Usually, the hybrids, “pizzly” bears aren’t better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a wider range of food sources, ” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science. (生物科学副教授拉里萨·德桑蒂斯对《生活科学》说：“通常情况下，杂交种并不比它们的父母更适合它们的环境，但这些杂交种能够寻找更广泛的食物来源。”)”可知，更多的食物选择让“小熊”比它们的父母更能适应自然环境。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming(即使是在中世纪暖期（之前的快速变暖时期），北极熊也主要食用软性食物)”可知，北极熊喜欢软的食物。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Endangered polar bears are breeding with grizzly bears, creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.(科学家称，受气候变化的驱动，濒危北极熊正在与灰熊一起繁殖，创造出“小灰熊”)”和倒数第二段“This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.(这可能会导致一个栖息地准备好让杂交熊迁入并接管，如果北极熊被取代，将导致生物多样性的损失)”以及文章大意，可知由于全球变暖，“小熊”的数量正在上升。故选C。

It is calculated that some of the world’s 7,000 languages are in danger of getting extinct. “For example, Ainu, a language in Japan, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers remaining,“ said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in England.
The scientists found that 25 percent of the world’s languages are threatened(威胁)．After identifying where the endangered(濒危的)languages were，they looked for any environmental and social or economic factors those languages might have in common, such as poor areas or rapid population growth. “We find that at the global scale, language speaker declines are strongly linked to economic growth-that is, declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions,” said Amano.
“One important finding of this new study is that languages in the tropics and Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future, because these regions still have many local languages with a small number of speakers, and at the same time are experiencing rapid economic growth,” said Amano.
Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons. For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more popular language as offering economic opportunities, and thus abandon their own languages. “There are other important factors that might endanger languages,” said the researchers. For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country, and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language endangerment.
Amano suggested it could be possible to forecast(预见)future threats to the diversity(多样化) of languages. “There exists detailed information on future changes in the environment， economies and climates(气候)，”Amano said. “Using such information，together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we would like to understand what will happen to the world’s languages, where it will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular.”
12. What can we know about Ainu
A. It has changed little over the years.
B. It threatens Japanese language.
C. It is a local language in Japan.
D. It is put under protection.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. What should be taught in schools.
B. What might endanger a language.
C. How economic growth is achieved.
D. How a language becomes popular.
14. What does Amano mean in the last paragraph
A. We must take action to save the environment.
B. More and more languages will get missing.
C. It will be easier to learn language changes.
D. Factors threatening languages will double.
15. What can be known from the study
A. Over 7,000 languages have been threatened.
B. Local language must be spoken in every school.
C. It is possible to use only one language worldwide.
D. The number of tropics’ local language speakers may become smaller in the future.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言濒临灭绝的一些原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“For example, Ainu, a language in Japan, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers remaining,“ said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in England.”（该研究的主要作者、英国剑桥大学的天野达也(Tatsuya Amano)说：“例如，日本的 Ainu，现在受到严重威胁，母语使用者仅剩10人。）可知， Ainu是日本的一种地方语言。故选C项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons. For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more popular language as offering economic opportunities, and thus abandon their own languages. “There are other important factors that might endanger languages,” said the researchers. For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country, and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language endangerment.”（由于种种原因，经济增长可能危及语言。例如，说濒危语言的人可能认为另一种更流行的语言能提供经济机会，从而放弃自己的语言。研究人员说：“还有其他一些重要因素可能会危及语言。”例如，国家之间，甚至每个国家内部，关于如何在学校使用和教授语言的政策可能会有很大的不同，这些因素可以解释语言濒危的更详细的模式。）可知，本段的主要讲述经济发展、政府政策等多种因素会导致本土语言濒临消失，也就是什么可能危及一种语言。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Using such information，together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we would like to understand what will happen to the world’s languages, where it will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular.””（利用这些信息，结合这项研究的发现和进一步的分析，我们想了解世界上的语言会发生什么，会在哪里发生，特别是哪些语言会受到威胁。）可推知，Amano认为随着研究的深入，人们更容易知晓语言的变化。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第三段““One important finding of this new study is that languages in the tropics and Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future, because these regions still have many local languages with a small number of speakers, and at the same time are experiencing rapid economic growth,” said Amano.”（Amano也说：“这项新研究的一个重要发现是，热带和喜马拉雅地区的语言在不久的将来可能会受到越来越大的威胁，因为这些地区仍然有许多当地语言，使用人数很少，与此同时，这些地区正在经历快速的经济增长。”）可推知，热带地区的语言在不久的将来可能受到越来越大的威胁，即说当地语言的人在未来可能会变少。故选D项。

Cultural Differences of Teenagers
Knowing the cultural differences between yourself and others of your age can help you understand friends who are of a different race or culture. ___16___ You’ll also know if you arc misunderstanding your friend’s behaviour when it seems like he/she is being rude. The major differences between Asian and American teenagers lie in the following aspects:
Family
Family comes first in the Asian culture. ___17___ While Asian families have a greater dependence on each other, American families encourage their children and teenagers to be independent.
Friendship
Some Asian teens generally prefer having a small group of life-long friends. They are committed and loyal to their friends. Americans often prefer a larger group of friends. There might be less commitment to keeping friends for life because of their bigger pool of possible friendships.
Working Relationships
If you are working on a group project with teens from China or other Asian countries, they might focus on developing a good relationship with you. ___18___ Developing relationships with their group members might come second.
___19___
In China and many other Asian countries, making direct eye contact is considered rude and disrespectful. However, in America and some European countries, it is not only seen as appropriate but also necessary because it means the person is paying attention. In Asian culture people are usually more comfortable with less personal space than Americans arc. A touch on the shoulder or an arm is common for Asians even if you don’t know one another.
It’s important to keep in mind that when learning about cultural differences, you should not generalize those differences. ___20___ All cultures value kindness and respect.
A. Eye Contact
B. Body Language
C. In this way, you’ll experience cultural differences.
D. Teenagers have a strong attachment to their parents.
E. With this understanding, you won’t be thought impolite.
F. However, American teens tend to first focus on the task.
G. The key to understanding them with your friends is to ask them for advice.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了亚洲和美国青少年的几个文化差异方面。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Knowing the cultural differences between yourself and others of your age can help you understand friends who are of a different race or culture.(了解自己和同龄人之间的文化差异可以帮助你理解来自不同种族或文化的朋友)”以及后文“You’ll also know if you arc misunderstanding your friend’s behaviour when it seems like he/she is being rude.(你也会知道当你的朋友看起来很粗鲁的时候，你是否误解了他/她的行为)”可知，E项“With this understanding, you won’t be thought impolite.(有了这种理解，你就不会被认为是不礼貌的)”起到承接作用，With this understanding代指上文提到的“了解自己和同龄人之间的文化差异”，you won’t be thought impolite和下文相呼应，符合文意。故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Family comes first in the Asian culture.(在亚洲文化中，家庭是第一位的)”可知，本段主要讲述了亚洲和美国青少年在家庭方面的差异，而在亚洲文化中，家庭是第一位的，所以D项“Teenagers have a strong attachment to their parents.(青少年对父母有强烈的依恋)”是对前文的进一步解释，并和后文“While Asian families have a greater dependence on each other, American families encourage their children and teenagers to be independent.(亚洲家庭对彼此的依赖程度更高，而美国家庭则鼓励孩子和青少年独立)”相呼应。故选D项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“If you are working on a group project with teens from China or other Asian countries, they might focus on developing a good relationship with you.(如果你和来自中国或其他亚洲国家的青少年一起做小组项目，他们可能会专注于与你建立良好的关系)”可知，此处在讲述亚洲青少年在工作关系中的文化，后文“Developing relationships with their group members might come second.(发展与小组成员的关系可能排在第二位)”应是在讲述美国青少年在工作关系中的文化，和亚洲相反，所以F项“However, American teens tend to first focus on the task.(然而，美国青少年倾向于首先关注任务)”符合文意，和前文构成转折关系，并引出下文。故选F项。
【19题详解】
分析设空，空处是本段小标题，根据后文“In China and many other Asian countries, making direct eye contact is considered rude and disrespectful. However, in America and some European countries, it is not only seen as appropriate but also necessary because it means the person is paying attention. In Asian culture people are usually more comfortable with less personal space than Americans arc. A touch on the shoulder or an arm is common for Asians even if you don’t know one another.(在中国和许多其他亚洲国家，直接的目光接触被认为是粗鲁和不尊重的。然而，在美国和一些欧洲国家，这不仅被认为是适当的，而且是必要的，因为这意味着这个人在注意。在亚洲文化中，人们通常比美国人更愿意拥有较少的个人空间。对亚洲人来说，即使你们彼此不认识，也经常会碰碰肩膀或手臂)”可知，本段讲述了目光接触以及碰碰肩膀或手臂等肢体语言在亚洲和美国青少年中的文化差异，所以B项“Body Language(肢体语言)”是本段小标题。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“It’s important to keep in mind that when learning about cultural differences, you should not generalize those differences.(重要的是要记住，当学习文化差异时，你不应该概括这些差异)”以及后文“All cultures value kindness and respect.(所有的文化都重视善良和尊重)”可知，G项“The key to understanding them with your friends is to ask them for advice.(和朋友一起理解他们的关键是向他们征求意见)”符合本段主题，强调学习文化差异，最好是询问他们，尊重他们。故选G项。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：一位外国教师与其他当地居民一起自愿帮助扑灭重庆北碚区的野火，这一例子触动了许多人。分析句子，设空处引导的是限制性定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，修饰先行词a foreign teacher，为人，故使用that或者who。故填that或者who。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：当地政府紧急呼吁有一定技能和经验的志愿者，如链锯操作，加入到消防中来。句中call为可数名词，此处表示泛指，意为“呼吁”，其前面的修饰词urgent首字母为元音音素。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子，句中issued为谓语动词，设空处表示目的作状语，故使用不定式结构。故填to join。
【39题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：链锯被用来制造防火屏障。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，句子表述客观事实，故使用一般现在时；同时chain saws与use之间是被动关系，故使用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are used。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：“我非常乐意帮忙。”分析句子，设空处使用extreme的副词extremely作状语，修饰形容词，意为“尤其地”。故填extremely。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：他说，在过去的几年里，他在美国做过很多次志愿者，比如在大风暴后为无家可归的人盖房子。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，根据前文的said以及句中的in the past years可知，该动作发生于过去之前，即过去的过去，故使用过去完成时。故填had volunteered。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“在如此炎热的天气里看到如此多的人伸出援手，真是太棒了，”他说，并指出前来帮助的当地人的数量给他留下了深刻的印象。分析句子，句中said为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，此处he与note之间为主动关系且表示伴随，故使用现在分词作状语。故填noting。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。句中be impressed with/by为固定短语，意为“对……印象深刻”。故填with/by。
【44题详解】

Well, I finished it on time. I was confident. It was a good paper. Next day in class, however, she called me forward and returned my paper. “Go back and rewrite it,” she said. “Remember, each paragraph is supposed to begin with a topic sentence.” When she returned my paper a second time, she corrected the spelling. The third time, the grammar. The fourth time, it was rhetoric (修辞). The fifth time, it wasn’t neat enough. I was sick. The sixth time, I rewrote the whole paper slowly, in ink.

I am so happy to inform you that Mary has won the first prize—on the effect of education on society!” Then thunderous applause filled the classroom. After class, many classmates asked me how I made it. Without excellent writing skills, I told them it was all about six times rewriting urged by Miss Jordan.
I was amazed, excited and grateful. I had never thought she would send my writing to the competition and that it should win a prize, the first one in my life! Years later, I told many people that story including my unfriendly description of Miss Jordan’s appearance. Unexpectedly, Miss Jordan wrote to me, and said that her look wasn’t important.
