Thomas was a well-known wise man. One day, he wandered in a beautiful small town. Because of his fame, people from nearby towns who heard of his arrival all came to visit and seek his advice.
Many who came sought help with difficulties in daily life, and Thomas, unable to bear turning them away, patiently offered suggestions. Word spread quickly, and more and more people came to see Thomas for guidance.
One day, dozens of people crowded outside Thomas’s door, all clamoring (大声地要求) that their problems were the most serious and urgent, each insisting that Thomas address their concerns first, with no one willing to yield (让步).
After a moment of thought, Thomas took out some paper and a pen and said, “I can’t hear clearly with everyone talking at once. How about everyone write down your problem on a piece of paper and place it in this basket beside me ”
Once everyone had placed their notes in the basket, Thomas shook the basket and said, “Please each take a piece of paper from the basket and read what it says.”
As everyone read a note from someone else, they all realized that indeed, each person has their own troubles, and every household has its own challenges. Then Thomas spoke up, “Now, whose problem is the most urgent to solve ” Hearing that question, no one spoke again, because now no one dared to claim that their problem was the most severe.
Often we are bound by our immediate feelings. When difficulties and problems strike, it feels as though we are caught in a vortex of pain. But if we shift our focus from ourselves and look towards others, we might discover that the problems we face are not so significant. Perhaps others are the ones who need help more urgently, or maybe there is something within our power that we can do for them.
4. Why did people visit Thomas
A. For advice. B. For a meeting.
C. For a competition. D. For introductions.
5. How did Thomas handle the crowd
A. He ignored them. B. He listened to each one individually.
C. He prioritized the problems himself. D. He asked them to write down their problems.
6. What did reading others’ problems show to the people
A. The complexity of their difficulties. B. The similarity of their situations.
C. Their need for more advice. D. Their living conditions.
7. What lesson did Thomas teach
A. Competition. B. Sympathy. C. Prioritization. D. Self-confidence.
C
A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.
“Six healthy lifestyle aspects were assessed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive (认知的) activity, never smoking, and never drinking alcohol,” the researchers explained in the new study. Participants were classified (分类) into the favorable group if they had four to six healthy lifestyle factors, into the average group for two to three factors, and into the unfavorable group for zero to one factor.
The study found that people with four to six healthy habits had a much slower loss of memory than those with fewer healthy habits. People with these good habits were also much less likely to get dementia than those with one or no healthy habits. Those who had two or three good habits were 30% less likely to get dementia.
The study didn’t figure out which of the six healthy habits is the best for stopping dementia or which combination is the best. However, the information did show that eating healthy seemed to help prevent memory loss the most, with brain exercise and regular physical exercise also very helpful.
About 20% of the people in the study had a gene that makes Alzheimer’s disease more likely. Even so, having several good health habits helped slow down memory loss. This shows that changing how we live can really help.
Even though each health habit helped in a different way, overall, the study found that people with more good health habits had much less memory loss than those with fewer good habits. This suggests that the choices we make in how we live can help protect our memory. The study adds to the evidence that we might be able to change our risk of memory loss.
8. What were the groups categorized based on
A. The participants’ age. B. What hobbies the participants got rid of.
C. The healthy lifestyles the participants had. D. What the participants’ attitudes to factors were.
9. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The favorable group was happier than the other two.
B. More healthy lifestyles were of more benefit to health.
C. Healthy habits had little impact on memory or dementia.
D. People with a healthy diet wouldn’t suffer a loss of memory.
10. Which plays the second greatest role in reducing memory loss
A. A healthy diet. B. Active social contact.
C. Active cognitive activities. D. Never drinking alcohol.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Healthy Lifestyles Slowing Memory Loss B. A Study Making A Great Breakthrough
C. A Healthy Diet Being The Best Lifestyle D. Old Adults Suffering From Health Problems
D
To produce the classic clothing, blue jeans, producers rely on indigo dye (靛蓝染料), the only molecule known to provide jeans’ unique, beloved color. While indigo itself naturally comes from a plant, growing demand for blue jeans throughout the 20th century gave rise to synthetic (合成的) indigo, which is now more commonly used.
Indigo is the dye that makes jeans blue, but it doesn’t mix with water. To dye clothes, usually, chemicals are needed to make the color stick to the cloth. But in Denmark, scientists have created a new way to dye clothes using an enzyme (酶), which is a kind of protein that can cause chemical reactions, instead of harmful chemicals. This new method is better for the environment and doesn’t use poisonous stuff.
The chemical process for dyeing blue jeans has persisted for the last century. Workers are exposed to the poisonous chemicals, which also pollute the environment near factories. Waste water from those factories often ends up in waterways, decimating local ecosystems and even dyeing rivers blue.
Ditte Hededam Welner, the study’s lead researcher, says their new enzyme works really well and is strong enough for making lots of jeans without breaking down. This enzyme makes dyeing with indican, which is like indigo, much less harmful to the planet — about 92% better than the old way.
However, the new method doesn’t fix all the environmental problems of making jeans. Making a single pair of jeans uses a lot of water — enough to fill many bathtubs — from growing the cotton to putting the final touches on the jeans.
Even though the new dyeing process is better for the environment, it’s not always easy or cheap to change to it. Welner’s team isn’t sure if jeans companies will find it easy or affordable to switch to this method. It costs a little bit more — just seven cents extra per pair of jeans — to use the enzyme for dyeing. But Welner believes it’s worth it because it’s much better for the environment.
12. Why was synthetic indigo created in the 20th century
A. It made jeans’ color unique. B. It was easy to dye cloth with it.
C. People liked jeans made from it. D. People were in greater need of jeans.
13. What does the underlined word “decimating” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Troubling. B. Entering. C. Destroying. D. Defeating.
14. Which is an advantage of the new method
A. The colour is more beautiful than the synthetic indigo.
B. The market can keep stable goods supplies.
C. Enzyme facilitates the advance of science.
D. The dye is more environmentally friendly.
15. What makes Welner worried about the new method
A. Production costs. B. Environmental benefits.
C Water consumption. D. Laborer shortage.

“When I grow up, I’m going to travel on my own,” said my little daughter, Sophia, reading her favorite picture book in the sunshine. Her blue eyes sparkled as she looked at the beautiful pictures. “Well, I think you can!” I said, believing in her ambitions.
Being a hard-working and reliable child, she could help do the housework skillfully. She had the potential to make her dreams come true. However, we were poor farmers, and all profit had to go back into the farm to keep it going.
When Sophia was ten, a tornado (龙卷风) struck Texas, destroying our farm. We were forced to deal with everything that we faced. This disaster completely changed our lives. My husband, Steve, was disabled by the tornado. After trying and failing at several methods of earning income, finally he decided to become a baker (面包师).
We purchased a small bakeshop, fully equipped, and moved it onto our farmland. In fact, our bakeshop business did very well. Regrettably, Steve did not. His disability was so severe that after several months of trying he simply could not continue. The bakeshop closed.
While our family was going through difficult times, the dream and spirit of Sophia was not lost. She was doing well in school, and I smiled the day I read Sophia’s essay entitled, “Things I would like to do.” Topping the list were these words: I want to travel someday. Again I whispered, “Maybe you can someday.”
A few years later, Sophia started high school and enrolled in a foreign language class in her second year. This class occasionally organized a trip abroad. One day, she came home from school, hardly able to control her excitement, and said, “Mum, our class will arrange for us to travel abroad.”
“Fantastic!” I said. “You can achieve your dream!”
“But it would probably cost a lot of money to go,” she said.
She was right. My salary paid the bills, and nothing was left. Steve was still unable to work. Our hearts sank deeply.
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。
Sophia’s face lit up the moment she thought of her father’s bakeshop.

Thomas was a well-known wise man. One day, he wandered in a beautiful small town. Because of his fame, people from nearby towns who heard of his arrival all came to visit and seek his advice.
Many who came sought help with difficulties in daily life, and Thomas, unable to bear turning them away, patiently offered suggestions. Word spread quickly, and more and more people came to see Thomas for guidance.
One day, dozens of people crowded outside Thomas’s door, all clamoring (大声地要求) that their problems were the most serious and urgent, each insisting that Thomas address their concerns first, with no one willing to yield (让步).
After a moment of thought, Thomas took out some paper and a pen and said, “I can’t hear clearly with everyone talking at once. How about everyone write down your problem on a piece of paper and place it in this basket beside me ”
Once everyone had placed their notes in the basket, Thomas shook the basket and said, “Please each take a piece of paper from the basket and read what it says.”
As everyone read a note from someone else, they all realized that indeed, each person has their own troubles, and every household has its own challenges. Then Thomas spoke up, “Now, whose problem is the most urgent to solve ” Hearing that question, no one spoke again, because now no one dared to claim that their problem was the most severe.
Often, we are bound by our immediate feelings. When difficulties and problems strike, it feels as though we are caught in a vortex of pain. But if we shift our focus from ourselves and look towards others, we might discover that the problems we face are not so significant. Perhaps others are the ones who need help more urgently, or maybe there is something within our power that we can do for them.
4. Why did people visit Thomas
A. For advice. B. For a meeting.
C. For a competition. D. For introductions.
5. How did Thomas handle the crowd
A. He ignored them. B. He listened to each one individually.

A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.
“Six healthy lifestyle aspects were assessed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive (认知的) activity, never smoking, and never drinking alcohol,” the researchers explained in the new study. Participants were classified (分类) into the favorable group if they had four to six healthy lifestyle factors, into the average group for two to three factors, and into the unfavorable group for zero to one factor.
The study found that people with four to six healthy habits had a much slower loss of memory than those with fewer healthy habits. People with these good habits were also much less likely to get dementia than those with one or no healthy habits. Those who had two or three good habits were 30% less likely to get dementia.
The study didn’t figure out which of the six healthy habits is the best for stopping dementia or which combination is the best. However, the information did show that eating healthy seemed to help prevent memory loss the most, with brain exercise and regular physical exercise also very helpful.
About 20% of the people in the study had a gene that makes Alzheimer’s disease more likely. Even so, having several good health habits helped slow down memory loss. This shows that changing how we live can really help.
Even though each health habit helped in a different way, overall, the study found that people with more good health habits had much less memory loss than those with fewer good habits. This suggests that the choices we make in how we live can help protect our memory. The study adds to the evidence that we might be able to change our risk of memory loss.
8. What were the groups categorized based on
A. The participants’ age. B. What hobbies the participants got rid of.
C. The healthy lifestyles the participants had. D. What the participants’ attitudes to factors were.
9. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The favorable group was happier than the other two.
B. More healthy lifestyles were of more benefit to health.
C. Healthy habits had little impact on memory or dementia.
D. People with a healthy diet wouldn’t suffer a loss of memory.
10. Which plays the second greatest role in reducing memory loss
A. A healthy diet. B. Active social contact.
C. Active cognitive activities. D. Never drinking alcohol.
11 What can be the best title for the text
A. Healthy Lifestyles Slowing Memory Loss B. A Study Making A Great Breakthrough
C. A Healthy Diet Being The Best Lifestyle D. Old Adults Suffering From Health Problems
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章介绍了一项长期的研究结果发现健康生活方式对老年人记忆力减退和痴呆风险的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.(一项对近3万名老年人进行了10多年跟踪调查的研究发现，六种关键的健康生活方式因素可以显著减少记忆丧失，那些拥有四到六种健康生活方式行为的成年人可以显著降低患痴呆症的风险，即使他们携带有增加患阿尔茨海默病风险的基因)”可知，分类的依据是参与者的健康生活方式。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The study found that people with four to six healthy habits had a much slower loss of memory than those with fewer healthy habits. People with these good habits were also much less likely to get dementia than those with one or no healthy habits. Those who had two or three good habits were 30% less likely to get dementia.(研究发现，拥有四到六个健康习惯的人比那些没有健康习惯的人记忆力衰退的速度要慢得多。拥有这些好习惯的人也比那些只有一个或没有健康习惯的人更不容易患痴呆症。那些有两到三个好习惯的人患痴呆症的可能性要低30%)”可知，更健康的生活方式对健康更有益。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The study didn’t figure out which of the six health y habits is the best for stopping dementia or which combination is the best. However, the information did show that eating healthy seemed to help prevent memory loss the most, with brain exercise and regular physical exercise also very helpful.(这项研究并没有弄清楚这六种健康习惯中哪一种对预防痴呆症最好，或者哪种组合最好。然而，这些信息确实表明，健康饮食似乎最有助于防止记忆丧失，大脑锻炼和定期体育锻炼也很有帮助)”可知，在减少记忆丧失方面起着第二重要的作用是大脑锻炼和定期体育锻炼，也就是积极的认知活动。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.(一项对近3万名老年人进行了10多年跟踪调查的研究发现，六种关键的健康生活方式因素可以显著减少记忆丧失，那些拥有四到六种健康生活方式行为的成年人可以显著降低患痴呆症的风险，即使他们携带有增加患阿尔茨海默病风险的基因)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了健康的生活方式对老年人记忆力减退和痴呆风险的影响，所以A项“Healthy Lifestyles Slowing Memory Loss(健康的生活方式减缓记忆丧失)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。

To produce the classic clothing, blue jeans, producers rely on indigo dye (靛蓝染料), the only molecule known to provide jeans’ unique, beloved color. While indigo itself naturally comes from a plant, growing demand for blue jeans throughout the 20th century gave rise to synthetic (合成的) indigo, which is now more commonly used.
Indigo is the dye that makes jeans blue, but it doesn’t mix with water. To dye clothes, usually, chemicals are needed to make the color stick to the cloth. But in Denmark, scientists have created a new way to dye clothes using an enzyme (酶), which is a kind of protein that can cause chemical reactions, instead of harmful chemicals. This new method is better for the environment and doesn’t use poisonous stuff.
The chemical process for dyeing blue jeans has persisted for the last century. Workers are exposed to the poisonous chemicals, which also pollute the environment near factories. Waste water from those factories often ends up in waterways, decimating local ecosystems and even dyeing rivers blue.
Ditte Hededam Welner, the study’s lead researcher, says their new enzyme works really well and is strong enough for making lots of jeans without breaking down. This enzyme makes dyeing with indican, which is like indigo, much less harmful to the planet — about 92% better than the old way.
However, the new method doesn’t fix all the environmental problems of making jeans. Making a single pair of jeans uses a lot of water — enough to fill many bathtubs — from growing the cotton to putting the final touches on the jeans.
Even though the new dyeing process is better for the environment, it’s not always easy or cheap to change to it. Welner’s team isn’t sure if jeans companies will find it easy or affordable to switch to this method. It costs a little bit more — just seven cents extra per pair of jeans — to use the enzyme for dyeing. But Welner believes it’s worth it because it’s much better for the environment.
12. Why was synthetic indigo created in the 20th century
A. It made jeans’ color unique. B. It was easy to dye cloth with it.
C. People liked jeans made from it. D. People were in greater need of jeans.
13. What does the underlined word “decimating” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Troubling. B. Entering. C. Destroying. D. Defeating.
14. Which is an advantage of the new method
A. The colour is more beautiful than the synthetic indigo.
B. The market can keep stable goods supplies.
C. Enzyme facilitates the advance of science.
D. The dye is more environmentally friendly.
15. What makes Welner worried about the new method
A. Production costs. B. Environmental benefits.
C. Water consumption. D. Laborer shortage.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了丹麦科学家发明的一种新的染色方法，该方法使用酶代替有害化学物质来染色，对环境更友好。尽管这种方法对环境更友好，但制作牛仔裤仍然存在大量耗水等问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“While indigo itself naturally comes from a plant, growing demand for blue jeans throughout the 20th century gave rise to synthetic(合成的) indigo, which is now more commonly used.”（虽然靛蓝本身来自天然植物，但在整个20世纪，人们对蓝色牛仔裤的需求不断增长，于是现在更常使用的合成靛蓝应运而生）可知，20世纪，由于人们对牛仔裤的需求增加，才有了合成靛蓝。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段画线词前的“pollute the environment near factories”（污染工厂附近的环境）和“Waste water from those factories often ends up in waterways”（那些工厂排出的废水经常流入水道）以及画线词后的“even dyeing rivers blue”（甚至将河流染成蓝色）可知，工厂的废水经常流入水道的后果是破坏当地的生态系统，即“decimating local ecosystems”。所以，decimating在这里的意思是“破坏”。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“This enzyme makes dyeing with indican, which is like indigo, much less harmful to the planet—about 92% better than the old way.”（这种酶可以用类似靛蓝的籼稻染色，对地球的危害要小得多——比旧方法好92%左右）可知，新方法使用酶替代有害化学品染色，对环境更友好，减少了对地球的伤害。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Even though the new dyeing process is better for the environment, it’s not always easy or cheap to change to it. Welner’s team isn’t sure if jeans companies will find it easy or affordable to switch to this method. It costs a little bit more—just seven cents extra per pair of jeans—to use the enzyme for dyeing.”（尽管新的染色工艺对环境更好，但改变它并不总是容易或便宜的。Welner的团队不确定牛仔裤公司是否会觉得改用这种方法容易或负担得起。使用这种酶染色，每条牛仔裤要多花7美分）可知，新方法的成本略高，每条牛仔裤增加了7美分的成本，这使得Welner担心牛仔裤公司是否愿意或能够承担这种方法的成本。所以，Welner担心的是新方法的生产成本。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了位于中国吉林省的玛虎戏博物馆和梅花鹿博物馆，阐述了这两个博物馆的历史背景、展品、以及它们在当地文化和历史传承中的重要性。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：这个博物馆建在一个以前是小学的地方，有五个展览室，展出近2000件物品，包括手稿、面具、服装、乐器和书籍，其中大部分是由当地的非物质文化遗产传承人捐赠的。空处修饰空后的动词，应用副词作状语。故填formerly。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：句意：这个博物馆建在一个以前是小学地方，有五个展览室，展出近2000件物品，包括手稿、面具、服装、乐器和书籍，其中大部分是由当地的非物质文化遗产传承人捐赠的。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面的manuscripts, masks, costumes, instruments and books，在从句中作宾语，指物，所以应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：除了与玛虎戏有关的文物外，博物馆从当地收集的其他旧物品，如传统农具，也反映了这个位于长春市双阳区的村庄的历史。本句已有谓语动词reflect，所以collect用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语other old objects之间是被动关系，用过去分词作定语。故填collected。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：除了与玛虎戏有关的文物外，博物馆从当地收集的其他旧物品，如传统农具，也反映了这个位于长春市双阳区的村庄的历史。此处特指“位于长春市双阳区的村庄的历史”，应用定冠词修饰。故填the。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：双阳区在养鹿方面有300多年的历史，有梅花鹿博物馆。结合“more than 300 years of history”可知，此处表达“有300多年的历史”之意，介词with“具有”符合语境。故填with。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：漫步在7200平方米的建筑中，人们可以详细了解当地的养鹿历史和传统，以及养鹿产业的发展。本句已有谓语动词can learn，所以wander用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语people之间是主动关系，用现在分词，作状语，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Wandering。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意：这里的人们在发展鹿业的过程中经历了艰辛，他们需要通过博物馆将这种精神传递给他们的后代。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词性物主代词作定语。故填their。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：玛虎戏和梅花鹿博物馆是吉林省农村博物馆建设项目的成果之一，该项目于2016年启动。空前是定冠词，所以空处应填名词，根据空前的among可知用复数形式。故填achievements。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，该省已在农村地区建立了91个博物馆。空处作本句谓语，build和主语91 museums之间是被动关系，用被动语态，根据So far可知，用现在完成时，且主语是复数名词，助动词用have。故填have been built。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在农村地区现代化的同时，中国也在寻求保护不同地区独特的历史和充满活力的文化的解决方案，建设农村博物馆是这一战略的重要组成部分。本句已有谓语动词is，所以preserve用非谓语形式，根据句意，此处表目的，用不定式作状语。故填to preserve。

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。
“When I grow up, I’m going to travel on my own,” said my little daughter, Sophia, reading her favorite picture book in the sunshine. Her blue eyes sparkled as she looked at the beautiful pictures. “Well, I think you can!” I said, believing in her ambitions.
Being a hard-working and reliable child, she could help do the housework skillfully. She had the potential to make her dreams come true. However, we were poor farmers, and all profit had to go back into the farm to keep it going.
When Sophia was ten, a tornado (龙卷风) struck Texas, destroying our farm. We were forced to deal with everything that we faced. This disaster completely changed our lives. My husband, Steve, was disabled by the tornado. After trying and failing at several methods of earning income, finally he decided to become a baker (面包师).
We purchased a small bakeshop, fully equipped, and moved it onto our farmland. In fact, our bakeshop business did very well. Regrettably, Steve did not. His disability was so severe that after several months of trying he simply could not continue. The bakeshop closed.
While our family was going through difficult times, the dream and spirit of Sophia was not lost. She was doing well in school, and I smiled the day I read Sophia’s essay entitled, “Things I would like to do.” Topping the list were these words: I want to travel someday. Again I whispered, “Maybe you can someday.”
A few years later, Sophia started high school and enrolled in a foreign language class in her second year. This class occasionally organized a trip abroad. One day, she came home from school, hardly able to control her excitement, and said, “Mum, our class will arrange for us to travel abroad.”
“Fantastic!” I said. “You can achieve your dream!”
“But it would probably cost a lot of money to go,” she said.
She was right. My salary paid the bills, and nothing was left. Steve was still unable to work. Our hearts sank deeply.
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。

Orders came flooding in.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
【答案】
Sophia’s face lit up the moment she thought of her father’s bakeshop. An idea sparked in her mind, and she rushed to share it with us. “What if we reopen Dad’s bakeshop to fund my trip ” she proposed enthusiastically. We were hesitant at first, considering Steve’s condition, but Sophia’s determination and the prospect of fulfilling her dream ignited a spark of hope within us. Deciding to give it a try, we organized ourselves into a team where Steve, despite his health, supervised the recipes, and Sophia and I took charge of operations.
Orders came flooding in. Word spread quickly about the bakeshop’s reopening, fueled by the community’s love for Steve’s artisanal bread and the inspiring story behind Sophia’s dream. The local newspaper even featured our little bakeshop, turning it into a symbol of resilience and dreams coming true. People, who traveled from neighboring towns, eagerly flocked to our bakeshop to extend their support, not just for the delicious treats but also to be a part of Sophia’s journey. Every batch sold out within hours, and the funds for her trip began accumulating rapidly.
