第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A road trip is not just about taking in the scenery through the car windscreen. Instead, the changes in location let you increase the scope of your holiday. Here are four recommended routes.
CCR 200
It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District. The route takes in various nature reserves as well as other attractions like beaches and castles. The road trip is aimed at campers of all kinds and has been divided into five sections that can each be done in a day.
The Explorer’s Road
The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s hidden treasures and finest attractions. Along the way you can explore stunning beaches, spectacular countryside and historic landmarks, with plenty of campsites lining the route.
South West Coastal 300
The South West Coastal 300 is around the southwest of Scotland. It’s a fantastic way to discover one of the UK’s hidden treasures. Inland there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles.
Atlantic Highway
The route roughly follows the line of the Atlantic coast. There are picturesque village views and you certainly won’t be short of things to see or do. And there is no shortage of stopovers. The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free trip, try heading down out of summer.
1. Which road trip best suits those who enjoy challenges
A. CCR 200 B. The Explorer’s Road.
C. South West Coastal 300. D. Atlantic Highway.
2. What is one shared feature of CCR 200 and The Explorer’s Road

Aarav Anil, the 17-year-old student With a passion for robotics from Bengraluro, invented a smart spoon that can help people with Parkinson’s disease eat with dignity.
Aarrav’s interest in creating a smart spoon came from seeing his uncle Arjun who has Parkinson’s disease struggling to feed himself. This disease affects the brain and leads to involuntary shaking. Hence, food kept spilling out of his mouth and onto his clothing.Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself with dignity.
Aarrav took to his room with microcontrollers, motors,sensors and a 3-D printer. Not everything went smoothly.“It was frustrating not being able to find the tiny electronics parts I needed here in India. I had to order some from China.but they took ages to arrive.”Aarrav said.Through tireless efforts. Aarrav made a first model but the handle was too slippery for his uncle to use so he had to change it.Then the prototype (维形) went to be tested at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
“I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback — that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; and that it must be detachable (可拆卸的) so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork.” Aarrav said. The trials being conducted at the college are expected to be completed by early 2024 and the results will be published in a medical journal.
Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will begin to be manufactured on a small scale when the testing is complete.While other smart spoons already exist and two US companies are already producing their own versions,the cost is too high for most Indians. Aarrav’s version is estimated to cost around 580). His hope is that everyone with Parkinson’s disease will have access to a smart spoon.
4. What can Aarav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s disease do
A. Maintain their physical balance.
B. Boost their mood and relieve stress.
C. Feed themselves much more easily.
D. Rid them of uncontrollable shaking.
5. What is emphasized about the invention of the smart spoon in Paragraph 3
A. Its popularity. B. Its challenges. C. Its functions. D. Its application.
6. Which can best replace the underlined word “tuning” in Paragraph 4
A. Adjusting. B. Publicizing C. Outlining. D. Simplifying
7. Which of the following best describes Aarrav
A. Industrious and sociable. B. Intelligent and humble
C. Sensitive and conservative. D. Ambitious and caring.
C
“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics -- in particular, related to failure -- are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.
8. Which of the following is an example of process response
A. You are a lucky dog. B. Running is in your blood.
C. What works well for your study D. Why are you such a math genius
9. What can be inferred from the study results
A. Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C. Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
10. What do researchers advise parents to do
A. Restrict person responses. B. Defend their own beliefs.
C. Stress children’s performance. D. Ignore children’s math problems.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps
B. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters
C. Responses to Enhance Children’s Math Performance
D. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math
D
When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T-shirt made from 100% organic cotton. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story—like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 10,000 L of water to grow enough fibre for one T-shirt. Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green Would you still buy it
It’s a hard question to answer. That’s because the global economy development is beyond our ability to comprehend the consequences—for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose.
But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well What if we could think ecologically That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. He compiles (汇编) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically—understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices.
Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in a closely connected world with limited resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully protecting every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not any more.”
12. Why is it hard for us to decide whether a T-shirt is green or not
A. The green label tells lies. B. We lack enough knowledge.
C. The economy grows too slowly. D. We are misled by false data.
13 What does Ecological Intelligence encourage readers to do
A. Increase carbon footprints. B. Give up regular consumption.
C Develop ecological thinking. D. Deliver information to customers.
14. How do the Tibetans of Sher live
A. By searching for new resources. B. By living on plentiful resources.
C. By distributing resources reasonably. D. By treasuring their resources seriously.
15. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To instruct manufacturers how to go green.
B. To introduce and advocate ecological intelligence.
C. To warn people of the dangers of ecological crisis.
D. To illustrate the origin of ecological intelligence.

As an old saying goes we make a living by what we get, but make a life by what we give.
I truly believe that a job is definitely not a job if you love what you are doing. Many years ago, I worked in an employment and insurance office, which helps people find jobs, apply for employment and insurance, and return to school for training. What could be more rewarding than to help someone find a job or change their career
I have always said that people are at their worst when they are unemployed or sick. I must admit that some days were challenging. But I have one amazing story that I would like to share.
One day, a lady came to the office with a dream to become a registered nurse. According to my client, her family did not approve. She was a mother with young children, and her husband had returned to school for training. It was not economically practical for her to return to school.
It was clear that this lady had a passion for the nursing profession, so I encouraged her to realize her dream. I equipped her with the information necessary to apply for nursing school, and she left the office. She went on her way, and I never knew whether she followed her dream or not.
Many years later, I was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer of the stomach and was admitted to the hospital for an operation. I must admit I was scared. My mother had died of cancer at age forty. I had a husband and two beautiful children. I was only forty-eight years old. The surgery was successful. It was, however, very painful. Days flew smoothly as I recovered from the pain.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150 词左右﹔2.请按如下格式作答。
But one night the pain began growing stronger.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“You never know what impact your encouraging words had on me,”the nurse said.

Inland, there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles.(这是发现英国隐藏宝藏的绝佳方式。在内陆,有要求很高的山丘,为步行者和登山者提供了陡峭的山坡,更不用说数百平方英里的森林和绵延起伏的乡村,自行车爱好者可以在那里骑行)”可知,South West Coastal 300最适合那些喜欢挑战的人。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据CCR 200部分中“It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District.(这是一个新的沿海公路之旅,展示了湖区隐秘的一面)”以及The Explorer’s Road部分中“The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s hidden treasures and finest attractions.(这条路几乎延伸了整个英格兰东部,以该国一些隐藏的宝藏和最好的景点为特色)”可知,CCR 200和The Explorer’s Road的共同之处是都有鲜为人知的方面。故选A。

Not everything went smoothly.“It was frustrating not being able to find the tiny electronics parts I needed here in India. I had to order some from China.but they took ages to arrive.”Aarrav said.Through tireless efforts. Aarrav made a first model but the handle was too slippery for his uncle to use so he had to change it.Then the prototype (维形) went to be tested at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
“I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback — that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; and that it must be detachable (可拆卸的) so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork.” Aarrav said. The trials being conducted at the college are expected to be completed by early 2024 and the results will be published in a medical journal.
Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will begin to be manufactured on a small scale when the testing is complete.While other smart spoons already exist and two US companies are already producing their own versions,the cost is too high for most Indians. Aarrav’s version is estimated to cost around 580). His hope is that everyone with Parkinson’s disease will have access to a smart spoon.

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Not everything went smoothly.’It was frustrating not being able to find the tiny electronics parts I needed here in India. I had to order some from China.but they took ages to arrive.’Aarrav said.Through tireless efforts. Aarrav made a first model but the handle was too slippery for his uncle to use so he had to change it.(“并不是一切都很顺利。“在印度找不到我需要的微型电子部件,我很沮丧。我不得不从中国订购一些,但它们花了很长时间才到。”阿尔拉夫说。通过不知疲倦的努力。阿尔拉夫做了第一个模型,但把手太滑了,他的叔叔无法使用,所以他不得不更换它。)”可知,Aarrav在采购原件和设计中都遇到了困难。由此可知,第三段强调了智能勺子的发明所面临的挑战。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章划线词后“the design based on the college’s feedback-that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork (根据学院的反馈,它需要防水,这样在清洗时不会损坏里面的所有电子设备;它必须是可拆卸的,这样就可以清洁和更换叉子)”可知,Aarrav根据学院的反馈对智能勺子进行调整,所以划线词的意思是“调整”。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will begin to be manufactured on a small scale when the testing is complete. While other smart spoons already exist and two US companies are already producing their own versions, the cost is too high for most Indians. Aarrav’s version is estimated to cost around $80. His hope is that everyone with Parkinson’s disease will have access to a smart spoon.(Aarrav希望他的智能勺子能在测试完成后开始小规模生产虽然其他的智能勺子已经存在,两家美国公司已经在生产自己的版本,但对大多数印度人来说,成本太高了。Aarrav的版本估计售价在80美元左右。他希望每个患有帕金森氏症的人都能使用一个智能勺子。)”可知,他希望他的产品能投产,让患有帕金森氏症的人使用便宜的智能勺子,因此他是有雄心且有爱心的。故选D。
C
“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics -- in particular, related to failure -- are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.
8. Which of the following is an example of process response
A. You are a lucky dog. B. Running is in your blood.
C. What works well for your study D. Why are you such a math genius
9. What can be inferred from the study results
A. Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C. Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
10. What do researchers advise parents to do
A. Restrict person responses. B. Defend their own beliefs.
C. Stress children’s performance. D. Ignore children’s math problems.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps
B. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters
C. Responses to Enhance Children’s Math Performance
D. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应,会对孩子产生不同的作用;用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子,可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.(相比之下,将孩子的行为(如努力或策略的使用)与他们的表现联系起来的父母正在使用过程反应。)”可知,将孩子的行为与他们的表现联系起来的父母使用的是过程反应,分析四个选项,C项“What works well for your study (什么对你的学习有效?)”将孩子的行为与表现联系起来,符合语境,属于“过程反应”,故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics -- in particular, related to failure -- are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.(虽然强调策略和努力的回答与任何成绩结果无关,但收到更多关于个人特征(特别是与失败有关的)回答的孩子更有可能避免更难的数学问题,表现出更高的数学焦虑水平,在数学成绩测试中得分更低。)”可推理出,个人反应会阻碍孩子学习数学,故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home.(因为个人反应预示着孩子随着时间的推移会有较差的数学适应能力,研究人员建议父母在家里限制这种反应。)”可知,专家建议父母限制个人反应,故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读整篇文章,尤其是第一段中“Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.(最近,乔治亚大学进行的一项新研究发现,随着时间的推移,鼓励孩子用与他们的个人特征或天生能力相关的回答可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成就。)”可知,文章主要内容是说父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应,会对孩子产生不同的作用;用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子,可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩。所以B项“The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters(父母与孩子谈论数学问题的方式)”可作为最恰当的题目,故选B。
D
When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T-shirt made from 100% organic cotton. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story—like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 10,000 L of water to grow enough fibre for one T-shirt. Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green Would you still buy it
It’s a hard question to answer. That’s because the global economy development is beyond our ability to comprehend the consequences—for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose.
But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well What if we could think ecologically That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book Ecological Intelligence. He compiles (汇编) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically—understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices.
Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in a closely connected world with limited resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully protecting every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not any more.”
12. Why is it hard for us to decide whether a T-shirt is green or not
A. The green label tells lies. B. We lack enough knowledge.
C. The economy grows too slowly. D. We are misled by false data.
13. What does Ecological Intelligence encourage readers to do
A. Increase carbon footprints. B. Give up regular consumption.
C. Develop ecological thinking. D. Deliver information to customers.
14. How do the Tibetans of Sher live
A. By searching for new resources. B. By living on plentiful resources.
C. By distributing resources reasonably. D. By treasuring their resources seriously.
15. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To instruct manufacturers how to go green.
B. To introduce and advocate ecological intelligence.
C. To warn people of the dangers of ecological crisis.
D. To illustrate the origin of ecological intelligence.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要是介绍和倡导生态智能。

Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green (举个例子:你决定买一件100%有机棉制成的T恤。但绿色标签并不能说明全部情况,比如即使是有机棉也需要超过10000升水才能生长出足够的纤维来制作一件T恤。或者T恤可能是用有害的工业化学品染色的。如果你知道这些,你还会认为这件T恤是绿色的吗?)”可知,我们很难决定T恤是不是绿色的是因为我们缺乏足够的知识。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well What if we could think ecologically That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence.

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully protecting every resource available to them. (戈尔曼重点介绍了谢尔藏族社区,数千年来,村民们通过精心保护他们所能获得的一切资源,在恶劣的条件下生存了下来。)”可知,谢尔的藏人是通过认真珍惜他们的资源来生活的。故选D。

【16题详解】
上文“Will you carry on reading together later Generally speaking, reading tends to be seen as an individual pastime.(你们以后会继续一起读书吗 一般来说,阅读往往被视为一种个人消遣)”讲阅读往往被视为一种孤独的消遣,说明共同阅读不常见,下文“However, the benefits of sharing the experience are numerous and worth sticking with throughout the year(然而,分享经验的好处很多,值得一整年坚持下去)”讲这种共同阅读的经历好处多多,该空内容应与“共同阅读不常见”相关,与下文也形成转折,表明共同阅读虽不常见,但好处多多,E选项“So it might seem unusual to pullout a novel in the company of others.(因此,在别人的陪伴下读一本小说似乎很不寻常。)”切合语境。故选E项。
【17题详解】
设空处是段首句,为本段的主旨句。下文“For example, you don’t have to brainstorm to organize a conversation, because you both have a book in your hands. You can get lost in your book without worrying about seeming rude by not keeping up a constant stream of chatter. As you both enter the same state, your blood pressure will go down, muscle tension will ease, and your worries will fade away. All these put you at ease. (例如,你们不必集思广益来组织对话,因为你们手里都有一本书。你可以迷失在你的书中,而不用担心不停地闲聊会显得粗鲁。当你们进入相同的状态时,你们的血压会下降,肌肉紧张会缓解,你们的担忧也会消失。所有这些都让你放心)”列举了共同阅读的多种好处,B选项“Reading with others is comforting in many ways.(和别人一起阅读在很多方面都令人感到欣慰。)”引出下文,B项中的“is comforting in many ways”能够概括本段中提到的多种好处。故选B项。
【18题详解】
由下文“A quiet comer of the playground, a blanket spread out on the grass in the garden, or any calm space where you feel relaxed will do.(操场上一个安静的角落,在花园的草地上铺一条毯子,或者任何你觉得放松的安静空间都可以)”可知,共同阅读并不限制场地,一个安静的地方就行,D选项“Besides, you don’t need to find a specific place to get into this zone.(此外,你不必找一个特定的地方来进入这种状态。)”能引起下文的例子。故选D项。
【19题详解】
由上文“Spending time together reading can strengthen friendships. (花时间一起阅读可以加强友谊)”可知共同阅读可以加强友谊,再结合上文“Sometimes, you’ll come across more serious themes, such as losing a love done or a cherished pet, or facing anyone of life’s many challenges.(有时,你会遇到更严肃的主题,比如失去一段爱情或心爱的宠物,或者面对生活中的许多挑战)”讲共同阅读时会碰到的更严重的主题,可知该空应该讲共同阅读下这些主题会对加强友谊所起到的积极作用,G选项“Discussing these themes can help deepen the bond between you and your friend.(讨论这些主题有助于加深你和朋友之间的联系。)”切合语境。故选G项。
【20题详解】
位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“Reading fiction has been shown to enhance empathy (共情), which is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. As you know, novels allow us to live countless experiences through their characters.(阅读小说已被证明可以增强同理心,这是一种理解和分享他人感受的能力。正如你所知道的,小说让我们通过他们的人物经历了无数的经历)”可知,本段主要讲述了阅读能增强同理心,所以A项“They will result in heightened sensitivity.(它们会导致高度敏感)”符合文意,是对前文的总结。故选A项。

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。
As an old saying goes, we make a living by what we get, but make a life by what we give.
I truly believe that a job is definitely not a job if you love what you are doing. Many years ago I worked in an employment and insurance office, which helps people find jobs, apply for employment and insurance, and return to school for training. What could be more rewarding than to help someone find a job or change their career
I have always said that people are at their worst when they are unemployed or sick. I must admit that some days were challenging. But I have one amazing story that I would like to share.
One day, a lady came to the office with a dream to become a registered nurse. According to my client, her family did not approve. She was a mother with young children, and her husband had returned to school for training. It was not economically practical for her to return to school.
It was clear that this lady had a passion for the nursing profession, so I encouraged her to realize her dream. I equipped her with the information necessary to apply for nursing school, and she left the office. She went on her way, and I never knew whether she followed her dream or not.
Many years later, I was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer of the stomach and was admitted to the hospital for an operation. I must admit I was scared. My mother had died of cancer at age forty. I had a husband and two beautiful children. I was only forty-eight years old. The surgery was successful. It was, however, very painful. Days flew smoothly as I recovered from the pain.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150 词左右﹔2.请按如下格式作答。
But one night the pain began growing stronger.

【答案】One possible version:
But one night the pain began growing stronger. A nurse was sent for special medical help. After that, I felt more relieved. “Thanks to your timely care, I feel much better,” I said gratefully to the nurse. “It is you that I should express my sincere thanks to actually. Remember the struggling mother many years ago ” she asked. Amazed and surprised, I recognized she was the young lady who had been interviewed by me. “How did you make it ” I asked, wondering how she pursued her dream.
“You never know what impact your encouraging words had on me,” the nurse said. She told me that she was determined to achieve her goal following my advice. Having overcome tremendous difficulties in economy and got support from her family, she returned to school for study and eventually fulfilled her dream as a registered nurse. So fantastic was this encounter. How blessed we were to have met each other! What could be more rewarding than to help someone fulfill their dreams. Helping others will benefit yourself as well.
