In May 2019, a friend who had previously been involved in the Restless Development Sierra Leone Business Brains project encouraged me to apply for the “Saving Lives II” project. Seeing this as an opportunity to move closer to my ambition of working in the medical field in the near future, I eagerly seized the chance. Fortunately, my performance during the interview led to me being awarded the role.
Following the basic training, I was sent to volunteer in Kurubonla, a remote community located in the northern region of Sierra Leone. This assignment presented challenges such as limited road access and communication networks. At first, I felt concerned about being sent there, but with a determined mindset, I set out on the journey, driven by a passion to contribute to my country’s development and to push my personal boundaries.
As I got to know the community, I quickly realized that the challenges extended beyond language barriers and cultural differences; there was also a sense of isolation from my peers. However, I refused to allow these challenges to stop me. I threw myself in my duties, working together with local leaders and community members to identify the most pressing needs. Together, we carried out the projects aimed at improving healthcare, education, and infrastructure (基础设施). Additionally, I organized workshops and training courses to share my knowledge and skills with the locals.
Over time I witnessed the positive impact of our collective efforts. Healthcare facilities improved, the number of students in schools increased, and the overall quality of life in the community showed signs of improvement. These achievements were not solely mine; they were a testament to the cooperative spirit and commitment of the entire community.

When Hurricane Ian made landfall on the southwest Florida coast as a Category 4 storm, it brought strong winds and heavy rain. It was a deadly hurricane, attacking more than four million people, and causing serious flooding and at least 150 deaths. However, during the disaster, there was one innovative community that weathered the storm well: Babcock Ranch, the brainchild of Syd Kitson.
Located 30 miles inland, Babcock Ranch is an environmentally friendly and fully sustainable town that Syd Kitson and his partners hoped would be hurricane proof. Its homes are built to go through severe weather without losing essential services like electricity, water, or the Internet. A significant factor in its design is that power and. Internet lines are buried to avoid wind damage. Additionally, large ponds surround the development to protect houses from flooding. As a backup, streets are designed to absorb floodwaters and spare the houses.
Central to Babcock Ranch’s sustainability is its extensive use of solar energy. The community possesses an 870-acre solar farm with 700,000 individual panels operated by Florida Power & Light, capable of powering 30,000 homes — far more than the 5,000 residents currently living there. At night and on cloudy days, a natural gas generator kicks in to fill the gap.
Hurricane Ian served as a true test for the community. While the surrounding regions suffered, Babcock Ranch’s minimum damage and quick recovery showcased its effective design against natural disasters. Residents even opened their community center, doubling as a storm shelter, to the victims from other hard-hit communities.
Kitson’s vision for Babcock Ranch is not just about creating a sustainable and resilient (适应性强的) community but also about learning and improving. He hopes that the lessons learned from Babcock Ranch can be applied to other developments, contributing to more climate-resilient communities across the United States. This approach reflects a growing awareness of the need for sustainable and resilient urban planning in the face of increasing climate challenges.
8. What does the underlined word “weathered” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Predicted. B. Changed. C. Ignored. D. Survived.
9. What do we know about Babcock Ranch from the text
A. Its streets allow houses the capability to take in floodwaters.
B. Its design guarantees availability of power in the hurricane.
C. Its solar farm lacks the ability of producing sufficient power.
D. Its main source of electricity supply is provided by natural gas.
10. What is the central theme of the fourth paragraph
A. Babcock Ranch’s community and social life.
B. Babcock Ranch’s future expansion strategies.
C. Babcock Ranch’s resistance to natural disasters.
D. Babcock Ranch’s novel technological innovations.
11. How does Kitson find the future of Babcock Ranch
A. Promising. B. Pessimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful.
D
Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.
As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.
However, MacCann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize (给……打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone — not just those with low EI—would benefit everyone.”
12. What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study
A. Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B. EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C. College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D. Personality affected academic performance greatly.
13. What can be a reason for the conclusion of MacCann’s study
A. High-EI students hardly experience negative emotions.
B. High-EI students seldom develop social relationships.
C. High-EI students tend to easily focus on their study.
D. High-EI students have helpful skills for certain subjects.
14. What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph
A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B. Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C. Developing special programs for students with low EI.
D. Employing emotional specialists to give training to students.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Should EI be taught in school
B. How can students develop high EI
C. Students with high EI do better in school
D. Good students do better in managing emotions

Walking has been considered as one of the best possible exercises. For many people, daily walking offers many and long-term physical and mental benefits. ___16___ A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.____17____You’ve probably heard the phrase “exercise your innovation (创新)”. Our creative mindset is caused by physical movement, which is exactly why walking with your dog, a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.

Shinrin-yoku, a common form of relaxation in Japan, suggests that being in the forest and walking among the trees there can lower your stress levels___19___ Research has shown that immersion (沉浸) in nature around your neighborhood or the disconnection from multimedia increased performance on a creative problem-solving task.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking outdoors ___20___ For example, you can turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a lake.
Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
A. Unfortunately, you often fail to do it.
B. Engage more closely with your surroundings.
C. The movement aspect of walking is obviously key

52. Since my childhood my grandmother had noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. She was always pointing out to me, “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a good deed for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently.
It was three months ago, and I’d just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York. Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I’d said I could manage. Letting them help did not ft my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots, making for the bus stop near apartment. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted (编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don’t you see if you can find a lift ” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don’t know my neighbors; I feel funny asking for favors. Pride would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbors at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key.
Result An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hour journey. When I slid into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car. Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness (固执).
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为80左右； 2.续写部分为两段，开头语已为你写好。
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow.

As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman form upstairs

In May 2019, a friend who had previously been involved in the Restless Development Sierra Leone Business Brains project encouraged me to apply for the “Saving Lives II” project. Seeing this as an opportunity to move closer to my ambition of working in the medical field in the near future, I eagerly seized the chance. Fortunately, my performance during the interview led to me being awarded the role.
Following the basic training, I was sent to volunteer in Kurubonla, a remote community located in the northern region of Sierra Leone. This assignment presented challenges such as limited road access and communication networks. At first, I felt concerned about being sent there, but with a determined mindset, I set out on the journey, driven by a passion to contribute to my country’s development and to push my personal boundaries.
As I got to know the community, I quickly realized that the challenges extended beyond language barriers and cultural differences; there was also a sense of isolation from my peers. However, I refused to allow these challenges to stop me. I threw myself in my duties, working together with local leaders and community members to identify the most pressing needs. Together, we carried out the projects aimed at improving healthcare, education, and infrastructure (基础设施). Additionally, I organized workshops and training courses to share my knowledge and skills with the locals.
Over time, I witnessed the positive impact of our collective efforts. Healthcare facilities improved, the number of students in schools increased, and the overall quality of life in the community showed signs of improvement. These achievements were not solely mine; they were a testament to the cooperative spirit and commitment of the entire community.

When Hurricane Ian made landfall on the southwest Florida coast as a Category 4 storm, it brought strong winds and heavy rain. It was a deadly hurricane, attacking more than four million people, and causing serious flooding and at least 150 deaths. However, during the disaster, there was one innovative community that weathered the storm well: Babcock Ranch, the brainchild of Syd Kitson.
Located 30 miles inland, Babcock Ranch is an environmentally friendly and fully sustainable town that Syd Kitson and his partners hoped would be hurricane proof. Its homes are built to go through severe weather without losing essential services like electricity, water, or the Internet. A significant factor in its design is that power and. Internet lines are buried to avoid wind damage. Additionally, large ponds surround the development to protect houses from flooding. As a backup, streets are designed to absorb floodwaters and spare the houses.
Central to Babcock Ranch’s sustainability is its extensive use of solar energy. The community possesses an 870-acre solar farm with 700,000 individual panels operated by Florida Power & Light, capable of powering 30,000 homes — far more than the 5,000 residents currently living there. At night and on cloudy days, a natural gas generator kicks in to fill the gap.
Hurricane Ian served as a true test for the community. While the surrounding regions suffered, Babcock Ranch’s minimum damage and quick recovery showcased its effective design against natural disasters. Residents even opened their community center, doubling as a storm shelter, to the victims from other hard-hit communities.
Kitson’s vision for Babcock Ranch is not just about creating a sustainable and resilient (适应性强的) community but also about learning and improving. He hopes that the lessons learned from Babcock Ranch can be applied to other developments, contributing to more climate-resilient communities across the United States. This approach reflects a growing awareness of the need for sustainable and resilient urban planning in the face of increasing climate challenges.
8. What does the underlined word “weathered” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Predicted. B. Changed. C. Ignored. D. Survived.
9. What do we know about Babcock Ranch from the text
A. Its streets allow houses the capability to take in floodwaters.
B. Its design guarantees availability of power in the hurricane.
C. Its solar farm lacks the ability of producing sufficient power.

Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.
As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.
However, MacCann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize (给……打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone — not just those with low EI—would benefit everyone.”
12. What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study
A. Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B. EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C. College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D. Personality affected academic performance greatly.
13. What can be a reason for the conclusion of MacCann’s study
A. High-EI students hardly experience negative emotions.
B. High-EI students seldom develop social relationships.
C. High-EI students tend to easily focus on their study.
D. High-EI students have helpful skills for certain subjects.
14. What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph
A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B. Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C. Developing special programs for students with low EI.
D. Employing emotional specialists to give training to students.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Should EI be taught in school
B. How can students develop high EI
C. Students with high EI do better in school
D. Good students do better in managing emotions
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究发现，情商高，即能够有效管理自己情绪的学生，在学业上表现得更好。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.”（让研究人员最惊奇的是情商和学习成绩的关系对任何年龄的学生都适用）可知，情商对所有年龄段的学生的学习都有影响。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.”（最后，根据MacCann的说法，情商所需的技能，如理解人类动机和情绪，可能与掌握某些科目所需的技巧重叠，如历史和语言，使学生在这些科目领域具有优势。）可知，情商高的学生成绩更好，其中一个原因是他们所具有的技能(如理解人类动机和情感)，与掌握某些学科(如历史和语言)所需的技能重叠，因此在这些学科领域具有优势。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills”（她建议采取涉及整个学校的干预措施，包括额外的教师培训和关注教师的幸福感和情感技能）以及“training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists”（由教师而不是外部专家进行培训效果更好）可知，MacCann建议要培养教师的情商培养技能。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.”（美国心理学会发表的一项研究表明，能够更好地理解和有效管理自己情绪的学生，即情商(EI)，在学校的表现比那些情商较低的同学要好）可知，本文主要讲述了情商高的学生学业表现更好，故C项“高情商的学生在学校表现更好”作标题最为恰当。故选C项。

For many people, daily walking offers many and long-term physical and mental benefits. ___16___ A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.____17____You’ve probably heard the phrase “exercise your innovation (创新)”.

Walking outside develops our ability to collect new ideas and take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Shinrin-yoku, a common form of relaxation in Japan, suggests that being in the forest and walking among the trees there can lower your stress levels___19___ Research has shown that immersion (沉浸) in nature around your neighborhood or the disconnection from multimedia increased performance on a creative problem-solving task.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking outdoors ___20___ For example, you can turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a lake.
Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
A. Unfortunately, you often fail to do it.
B. Engage more closely with your surroundings.

根据下列各句句意及所给单词,将正确形式写在答卷纸上.
36. If I can do something to make others aware of the problem, then that's part of the________ (solve). (所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】solution
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：如果我能做点什么让别人意识到这个问题，那就是解决办法的一部分。空处作宾语，表示“解决办法”应用名词solution，此处为特指应用单数。故填solution。
37. Watch surfers who catch the waves-and maybe even give _____ a go. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】it
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。句意：看看冲浪的人冲浪——也许可以尝试一下!give it a go意为“试一试，放手一搏”，是固定搭配，符合句意，故填it。
38. Finning is a type of fishing ________ sharks are caught and their fins cut off. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：割鳍是一种捕鱼方式，鲨鱼被捕获后，鱼鳍被切掉。在定语从句中不缺少主语、宾语或表语，且先行词为“a type of fishing”，此处理解为一种抽象地点，所以应用关系副词where。故填where。
39. This includes keeping the original environment from _____ (touch). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】being touched
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：这包括阻止原始环境被接触。设空处接在介词from后，应用动名词作宾语，和它的逻辑主语the original environment之间是被动关系，所以应用动名词的被动语态，故填being touched。
40. It is the production of food, not its transport, ________ uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意：消耗大部分能源和产生大部分温室气体的是食物的生产，而不是运输。分析句子结构可知此处为强调句：It be+被强调部分+that/who，此处被强调部分为the production of food, not its transport，故填that。
41. Plastic bags cause litter and are _____ danger to wild animals. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】a
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词。句意：塑料袋会造成垃圾，对野生动物是一种危险。此处泛指“一种危险”，且danger以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
42. Starring Anne Hathaway, it is _____ (definite) a movie you should not miss! (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】definitely
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：由安妮·海瑟薇主演，这绝对是一部你不容错过的电影! 修饰动词，用副词形式作状语。故填definitely。
43. What they needed was a well _____ (dig) near their homes. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】dug
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他们所需要的是在他们家附近挖一口好井。本句谓语动词是be动词was，此处为非谓语动词，且a well与dig“挖”之间是被动关系，即“井”是被“挖”出来的，故应用过去分词形式，作后置定语，修饰名词a well。故填dug。
44. 所有成员都尽职做好分内的事最终团队取得了巨大的成功.
All the members _____ _____ _____ and eventually the team achieved great success.
【答案】 ①. pulled ②. their ③. weight
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和时态。根据句意可知，空处表示“尽职做好分内的事”，应为pull one’s weight，结合achieved可知句子时态为一般过去，pull的过去式为pulled，主语是All the members，短语中的物主代词使用their，故填①pulled②their③weight。
45. 感动地潸然泪下，妈妈将双胞胎姐妹紧紧拥入怀中.
_____ _____ _____, mom threw her arms around the twin sisters tightly.
【答案】 ①. Moved ②. to ③. tears
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和固定搭配。对比中英文，可知空处为“感动地潸然泪下”，可以用非谓语形式作状语，“感动”用动词move表示，与句子主语mom之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词短语moved to tears。句首单词首字母大写，故填Moved；to；tears。
46. 他站起身来,抓起书包,冲出了教室.
He _____ _____ _____ _____, grabbed the schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom.
【答案】 ①. rose ②. from ③. the ④. seat
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。根据所给中文提示词和英文翻译可知，需翻译部分是“站起身来”，设空为四个，应是短语：rise from the seat意为“从座位上站起来”，根据后文的grabbed和rushed可知，用一般过去时。故填①rose，②from，③the，④seat。
47. 切断了水供应后，工人们正在修理管道。
_____ _____ _____ the water supply, the workers are repairing the pipes.
【答案】 ①. Having ②. cut ③. off
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、非谓语动词。由所给句意可知，空格处应表达“切断了后”。表示“切断”用固定短语cut off，本句谓语为are repairing，此处为非谓语动词，且the workers与cut off为主动关系，本句强调cut off这个动作发生在谓语动词are repairing之前，用现在分词的完成式，作状语。故填Having cut off。
48. 让我们满意的是，学生们最终没有辜负我们的期待。
What made us satisfied was that all the students _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ ultimately.
【答案】 ①. lived ②. up ③. to ④. our ⑤. expectations
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、时态、名词。由所给句意可知，空格处应表达“没有辜负我们的期待”。表示“不辜负”用固定短语live up to，根据made和was可知事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，谓语用过去式lived。表示“我们的”用our，作定语，修饰“期待”；结合“我们的”可知，expectation“期待”不止一个，应用名词复数形式，作lived up to的宾语，lived up to expectations“不负所望”是固定搭配。故填lived up to our expectations。
49. 使用可循环利用的瓶子而不是塑料瓶子对保护环境有益。
Using reusable bottles instead of plastic ones _____ _____ _____ protecting the environment.
【答案】 ①. is ②. beneficial ③. to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、主谓一致、时态。由所给句意可知，空格处应表达“对……有益”，用固定短语be beneficial to，本句陈述事实，故时态用一般现在时，且主语Using reusable bottles instead of plastic ones为一个动名词短语，be动词用is。故填is beneficial to。
50. 他把绳子误以为是一条蛇，吓得一动都不敢动。
He _____ the rope _____ a snake and was too scared to move an inch.
【答案】 ①. mistook ②. for
【解析】
【详解】考查短语。短语“把……误以为……”英文为mistake…for…。根据并列谓语was可知，用一般过去时。故填mistook；for。

第二节：读后续写(满分15分)
52. Since my childhood my grandmother had noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. She was always pointing out to me, “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a good deed for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently.
It was three months ago, and I’d just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York. Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I’d said I could manage. Letting them help did not ft my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots, making for the bus stop near apartment. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted (编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don’t you see if you can find a lift ” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don’t know my neighbors; I feel funny asking for favors. Pride would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbors at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key.
Result An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hour journey. When I slid into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car. Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness (固执).

As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman form upstairs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. As I trudged along, I couldn’t help but think of Grandma’s words echoing in my mind. This time, her wisdom seemed to seep into my frozen bones. Just then, a car slowed beside me, and to my surprise, it was my neighbor from the third floor, the one with the kind eyes and the ever-ready smile. Without hesitation, I accepted her offer, warmth spreading through me as I stepped into her car.
As I pushed open the door of my apartment building later that day, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. With a grateful heart, I thanked her earnestly, with a sincerity in my voice that had been missing before. “I’ve been meaning to ask, would you like to come over for some tea sometime I’d love to get to know you better.” I said earnestly. Her face lit up with a warm smile, and I knew in that moment, I had not only accepted help but also opened the door to a new friendship, one that Grandma would surely approve of.
