Australian tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis has celebrated one of his toughest victories, channelling (贯注) all his fighting spirit to claim a second round French Open win over a former champion.
Kokkinakis beat 2015 Roland Garros champion, Switzerland’s Stan Wawrinka, in a five-set marathon to win 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-7(4), 6-3. Kokkinakis, 27, was left to regret a slow start to the fourth set tie-break (决胜局) as Wawrinka raced to a 5-0 lead to force a deciding set. But Kokkinakis opened the fifth set with a 4-0 run. Wawrinka then saved four match points, but couldn’t stop Aussie, who won in four hours and 38 minutes. It was a huge relief for Kokkinakis to win, having lost previous five sets, second round epic to British champion Andy Murray at the Australian Open in January.
“I think the first set and a half he was playing was the best tennis he can play,” said Kokkinakis. “I was just trying to hang in there. I lost a match in a Grand Slam (大赛) earlier this year against Murray; I didn’t want to do it against another legend. He never went away. It seemed like when he was down, he was playing better tennis, but I just trusted myself and I’m so happy.”
“Back in the third round on clay, who would have thought it for an Australian, but my game suits it here, I love it.2015 was the last time I won a match at Roland Garros and I made the third round...”
Kokkinakis will now face Karen Khachanov, the big hitting Russian who ended Kokkinakis’ childhood friend and doubles partner (双打搭档) Nick Kyrgios’ golden run at the US Open last year.
4. How did Kokkinakis feel after becoming champion
A. Worried. B. Relieved. C. Shocked. D. Worn.

C. He was inspired by opponent’s spirits. D. He resolved to be a legend in his field.
6. Who was once Kokkinakis’ partner

C. Karen Khachanov. D. Nick Kyrgios.
7. What is the text
A. A news report. B. A short story.

How can one person enjoy good health, while another person looks old before her time Humans have been asking this question for thousands of years, and recently, it’s becoming clearer and clearer to scientists that the differences between people’s rates of aging lie in the complex interactions among genes, social relationships, environments and lifestyles. Even though you were born with a particular set of genes, the way you live can influence how they express themselves. Some lifestyle factors may even turn genes on or shut them off.
Deep within the genetic heart of all our cells are telomeres, or repeating segments of non-coding DNA that live at the ends of the chromosomes (染色体). They form caps at the ends of the chromosomes and keep the genetic material together. Shortening with each cell division, they help determine how fast a cell ages. When they become too short, the cell stops dividing altogether. This isn’t the only reason a cell can age — there are other stresses on cells we don’t yet understand very well — but short telomeres are one of the major reasons human cells grow old. We’ve devoted most of our careers to studying telomeres, and one extraordinary discover y from our labs is that telomeres can actually lengthen.
Scientists have learned that several thought patterns appear to be unhealthy for telomeres, and one of them is cynical hostility. Cynical hostility is defined by high anger and frequent thoughts that other people cannot be trusted. Someone with hostility doesn’t just think, “I hate to stand in long lines”; they think, “Others deliberately sped up and beat me to my rightful position in the line!” — and then get violently agitated. People who score high on measures of cynical hostility tend to get more heart disease, metabolic disease and often die at younger ages. They also have shorter telomeres. In a study of British civil servants, men who scored high on measures of cynical hostility had shorter telomeres than men whose hostility scores were low. The most hostile men were 30% more likely to have short telomeres.
What this means: aging is a dynamic process that could possibly be accelerated or slowed — and, in some aspects, even reversed. To an extent, it has surprised us and the rest of the scientific community that telomeres do not simply carry out the commands issued by your genetic code. Your telomeres are listening to you. The foods you eat, your response to challenges, the amount of exercise you get, and many other factors appear to influence your telomeres and can prevent premature aging at the cellular level. One of the keys to enjoying good health is simply doing your part to foster healthy cell renewal.
8. Why are some lifestyle factors considered extremely important
A. They may determine how genes function.
B. They may shorten the process of cell division.
C. They may affect the lifespan of telomeres.
D. They may account for the stresses on cells.
9. What have the author and his colleagues discovered about telomeres
A. Their number affects the growth of cells.
B. Their length determines the quality of life.
C. Their shortening process can be reversed.
D. Their health impacts the division of cells.
10. What have scientists learned about cynical hostility
A. It may lead to confrontational thought patterns.
B. It may cause people to lose their temper frequently.
C. It may produce an adverse effect on telomeres.
D. It may stir up agitation among those in long lines.
11. What do we learn from the last paragraph about the process of aging
A. It may vary from individual to individual.
B. It challenges scientists to explore further.
C. It depends on one’s genetic code.
D. It may be controlled to a degree.

China has long been considered as a revolutionary (改革者) when it comes to wind power. Earlier this year, it was reported that the country had begun construction of a wind farm using what were then regarded as the largest turbines (涡轮) ever seen, each with a capacity of 16 megawatts (兆瓦). Now, a new important stage has been reached with the successful switch-on of a turbine.
China Three Gorges Corporation announced that the MySE 16-260 turbine had been successfully fixed at the company’s offshore wind farm near Fujian Province on July 19. Just one of these turbines should be able to produce enough electricity to power 36,000 families of three people each for one year. They claim that wind-powered domestic electricity could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 54,000 tons compared with using coal-fired power stations.
The Fuijian offshore wind farm sits in the Taiwan Strait. Winds of force 7 are a regular occurrence in these waters, which is obviously perfect for producing wind power. Mingyang Smart Energy, who designed the MySE 16-260, was up to the challenge, stating in a LinkedIn post that it could handle “extreme wind speeds of 79.8 meters per second”. Still, it wasn’t very long at all before these claims were put to the test, following the disastrous typhoon Talim that hit East Asia earlier this month. The typhoon threat is ever-present in this region, and the new giant turbine has stood up to the impact.
Buoyed by the success of this installation (安装), China Three Gorges Corporation is already looking to the future. “In the next step, the 16 megawatt unit will be applied in the second phase of the Zhangpu Liuao Offshore Wind Farm Project constructed by China Three Gorges Corporation,” said Lei Zengjuan.
12. Why are the statistics listed in Paragraph 2
A. To discuss the possibility of further threat.
B. To emphasize the advantages of the turbines.
C. To present the consequence of producing electricity.
D. To stress the urgency of spreading turbines nationwide.
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. The new giant turbines are worth trusting,
B. The new giant turbines are still faced with doubts.
C. Typhoon Talim has damaged the new giant turbines severely.
D. Typhoon Talim has been one of the worst typhoons ever since.
14. What does the underlined word “Buoyed” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Linked. B. Rewarded. C. Inquired. D. Inspired.
15. What’s the text mainly about
A. China takes the lead in developing turbines.
B. China values the development of wind turbines.
C. World’s largest wind turbine has been switched on.
D. World’s largest wind turbine makes the media shocked.

Can We Stop Food Longing Through Imaginary Eating
Are you fighting an urge to reach for chocolate Then, let it melt in your mind, not in your mouth. According to the recent research, imagining eating a specific food reduces your interest in that food, so you eat less of it.
This reaction to repeated exposure to food—being less interested in something because you’ve experienced it too much—is called habituation. _____16_____
The research is the first to show that habituation can occur through the power of the mind. “If you just think about the food itself—how it tastes and smells—that will increase your appetite,” said Carey Morewedge, a well-known psychologist. “It might be better to force yourself to repeatedly think about chewing and swallowing the food in order to reduce your longing. _____17_____ Visualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldn’t prevent you from eating lots of cheese,” he added.
Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups. One group was asked to imagine putting 30 coins into a laundry machine and then eating three chocolates. _____18_____ Another group was asked to imagine putting three coins into a laundry machine and then eating 30 chocolates. Lastly, a control group imagined just putting 33 coins into the machine—with no chocolates. _____19_____ When they said they had finished, these were taken away and weighed. The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups.
_____20_____ Physical signals—that full stomach feeling—are only part of what tells us we’ve finished a meal. The research suggests that psychological effects, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats. It may lead to new behavioral techniques for people looking to eat more healthily, or have control over other habits.
A. What’s more, this only works with the specific food you’ve imagined.
B. People were advised to try different methods to perform the experiment.
C. For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.
D. All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.
E. It meant those who repeatedly imagined eating would concern about some specific food.
F. This requires the same motor skills as eating small chocolates from a packet, the study says.
G. This study is part of the research looking into what makes us eat more than we actually need.

“Look!” I said to my husband, Roger, pointing to the branches. “The doves (鸽子) have built a nest.
On a chilly April day, we watched with horror as a hawk dived down and took one of the doves. By the next morning the other parent was gone too. Roger climbed up a ladder to take a look into the nest. Was it possible the hawk had spared the young Yes, there sat a newly hatched baby dove! We brought him inside and set up the nesting box with the heat lamps we had used for raising chickens. Then we rushed to the pet shop to buy the formula (配方奶) which needed to look like the mother’s milk. But even with our care and prayers, we knew that the dove’s chances were slim. We were especially worried that our little bird, whom we’d named Hawkeye, hardly cooed (咕咕地叫) at all. That had to be a bad sign.
But to our surprise, Hawkeye not only survived but also thrived. Within a month, he was able to stand on the edge of a bowl and eat out of a baby spoon. And before we knew it, he was eating the seeds we gave him. Having the opportunity to nurture this new life brought me a greater measure of peace with each passing day.
As Hawkeye grew, we noticed that unlike all the other doves in our yard, he had a double breast with a line dividing it. When I did some research on the doves, I found out that females don’t often coo.
“We got it all wrong,” I told Roger. “Hawkeye is a girl!”
We realized that we’d have to teach her to fly. First, we urged her to fly from a finger to the bottom rung (梯子的横档) of a six-foot ladder, and in no time she was moving quickly to the top. She lit out (逃走，溜掉) for the kitchen whenever she heard the click of the spoon on her bowl. By mid-June she’d gained full confidence in her wings.
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。
Paragraph 1: At that time, we knew it was time to set our Hawkeye free.

Paragraph 2: But one May morning, Hawkeye and the other dove landed on the rooftop.

【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们衰老速度的差异在于基因、社会关系、环境和生活方式之间复杂的相互作用。一些生活方式因素甚至可能开启或关闭基因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Even though you were born with a particular set of genes, the way you live can influence how they express themselves. Some lifestyle factors may even turn genes on or shut them off. (即使你生来就有一组特殊的基因，你的生活方式也会影响它们的表达方式。一些生活方式因素甚至可能开启或关闭基因)”可知，一些生活方式因素可能决定基因的功能，所以被认为是极其重要的。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Shortening with each cell division, they help determine how fast a cell ages. When they become too short, the cell stops dividing altogether. (随着每次细胞分裂而缩短，它们有助于确定细胞衰老的速度。当它们变得太短时，细胞就完全停止分裂)”可知，末端粒的长度直接关联到细胞的老化速度及终止分裂的时点，从而影响生命质量。因此，我们可以推断出末端粒的长度是决定生命质量的一个关键因素。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Scientists have learned that several thought patterns appear to be unhealthy for telomeres, and one of them is cynical hostility. (科学家们已经了解到，有几种思维模式似乎对端粒不健康，其中之一是愤世嫉俗的敌意)”和“People who score high on measures of cynical hostility tend to get more heart disease, metabolic disease and often die at younger ages. (在愤世嫉俗的敌意测试中得分高的人往往更容易患心脏病和代谢疾病，而且往往在更年轻的时候死亡。它们的端粒也更短)”可知，愤世嫉俗的敌意对端粒有不良影响。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“What this means: aging is a dynamic process that could possibly be accelerated or slowed — and, in some aspects, even reversed. To an extent, it has surprised us and the rest of the scientific community that telomeres do not simply carry out the commands issued by your genetic code. Your telomeres are listening to you. The foods you eat, your response to challenges, the amount of exercise you get, and many other factors appear to influence your telomeres and can prevent premature aging at the cellular level. One of the keys to enjoying good health is simply doing your part to foster healthy cell renewal. (这意味着：衰老是一个动态过程，可以加速或减缓，在某些方面甚至可以逆转。在某种程度上，端粒不只是执行你的遗传密码发出的命令，这让我们和科学界的其他人感到惊讶。你的端粒在倾听你的声音。你吃的食物、你对挑战的反应、你的运动量，以及许多其他因素似乎都会影响你的端粒，并能在细胞水平上防止过早衰老。享受健康的关键之一就是尽自己的一份力量来促进健康的细胞更新)”可推知，衰老过程可以在一定程度上得到控制。故选D。
D
China has long been considered as a revolutionary (改革者) when it comes to wind power. Earlier this year, it was reported that the country had begun construction of a wind farm using what were then regarded as the largest turbines (涡轮) ever seen, each with a capacity of 16 megawatts (兆瓦). Now, a new important stage has been reached with the successful switch-on of a turbine.
China Three Gorges Corporation announced that the MySE 16-260 turbine had been successfully fixed at the company’s offshore wind farm near Fujian Province on July 19. Just one of these turbines should be able to produce enough electricity to power 36,000 families of three people each for one year. They claim that wind-powered domestic electricity could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 54,000 tons compared with using coal-fired power stations.
The Fuijian offshore wind farm sits in the Taiwan Strait. Winds of force 7 are a regular occurrence in these waters, which is obviously perfect for producing wind power. Mingyang Smart Energy, who designed the MySE 16-260, was up to the challenge, stating in a LinkedIn post that it could handle “extreme wind speeds of 79.8 meters per second”. Still, it wasn’t very long at all before these claims were put to the test, following the disastrous typhoon Talim that hit East Asia earlier this month. The typhoon threat is ever-present in this region, and the new giant turbine has stood up to the impact.
Buoyed by the success of this installation (安装), China Three Gorges Corporation is already looking to the future. “In the next step, the 16 megawatt unit will be applied in the second phase of the Zhangpu Liuao Offshore Wind Farm Project constructed by China Three Gorges Corporation,” said Lei Zengjuan.
12. Why are the statistics listed in Paragraph 2
A. To discuss the possibility of further threat.
B. To emphasize the advantages of the turbines.
C. To present the consequence of producing electricity.
D. To stress the urgency of spreading turbines nationwide.
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. The new giant turbines are worth trusting,
B. The new giant turbines are still faced with doubts.
C. Typhoon Talim has damaged the new giant turbines severely.
D. Typhoon Talim has been one of the worst typhoons ever since.
14. What does the underlined word “Buoyed” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Linked. B. Rewarded. C. Inquired. D. Inspired.
15. What’s the text mainly about
A. China takes the lead in developing turbines.
B. China values the development of wind turbines.
C. World’s largest wind turbine has been switched on.
D. World’s largest wind turbine makes the media shocked.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国建造了世界上最大的涡轮机的风电场。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Just one of these turbines should be able to produce enough electricity to power 36,000 families of three people each for one year. (这些涡轮机中的一个应该能够产生足够的电力，供36000个三口之家一年使用。)”可知，此处提到仅仅其中一台涡轮机就应该能够产生足够的电力，供36,000户三口之家一年使用，结合下文中的“They claim that wind-powered domestic electricity could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 54,000 tons compared with using coal-fired power stations. (他们声称，与使用燃煤发电站相比，风力发电的国内电力可以减少54,000吨二氧化碳排放。)”可知，与使用燃煤发电站相比，风力发电可以减少54,000吨二氧化碳排放量，由此可知，列数据是为了说明涡轮机的优点。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Still, it wasn’t very long at all before these claims were put to the test, following the disastrous typhoon Talim that hit East Asia earlier this month. The typhoon threat is ever-present in this region, and the new giant turbine has stood up to the impact. (然而，在本月早些时候灾难性的台风“塔利姆”袭击东亚之后，这些说法很快就受到了考验。台风的威胁一直存在于这个地区，新的巨型涡轮机经受住了影响。)”可知，灾难性台风“泰利姆”之后，新的巨型涡轮机经受住了冲击，由此可推断，新的巨型涡轮机值得信赖。故选A项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“by the success of this installation, China Three Gorges Corporation is already looking to the future. (通过这次安装的成功，中国三峡集团公司已经开始展望未来。)”可知，在这次安装成功后，中国三峡集团开始展望未来，结合下文中的“In the next step, the 16 megawatt unit will be applied in the second phase of the Zhangpu Liuao Offshore Wind Farm Project constructed by China Three Gorges Corporation (下一步，这台16兆瓦的机组将应用于中国三峡公司建设的张浦六岙海上风电场项目二期)”可知，中国三峡集团之所以对未来充满信心是因为受到了鼓舞准备把这种涡轮机应用于其它项目，由此可知，划线单词的意思应与“鼓舞”的意思相近。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Earlier this year, it was reported that the country had begun construction of a wind farm using what were then regarded as the largest turbines (涡轮) ever seen, each with a capacity of 16 megawatts (兆瓦). Now, a new important stage has been reached with the successful switch-on of a turbine. (今年早些时候，据报道，该国已经开始建设一个风力发电场，使用当时被认为是有史以来最大的涡轮机，每个涡轮机的容量为16兆瓦。现在，随着一台涡轮机的成功启动，已经进入了一个新的重要阶段。)”可知，中国已经开始建设一个风电场，安装当时被认为是有史以来最大的涡轮机，结合下文主要介绍的内容围绕该涡轮机展开，由此可知，本文主要介绍的是中国已经开始建设世界上最大的风力涡轮机。故选C项。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can We Stop Food Longing Through Imaginary Eating
Are you fighting an urge to reach for chocolate Then, let it melt in your mind, not in your mouth. According to the recent research, imagining eating a specific food reduces your interest in that food, so you eat less of it.
This reaction to repeated exposure to food—being less interested in something because you’ve experienced it too much—is called habituation. _____16_____
The research is the first to show that habituation can occur through the power of the mind. “If you just think about the food itself—how it tastes and smells—that will increase your appetite,” said Carey Morewedge, a well-known psychologist. “It might be better to force yourself to repeatedly think about chewing and swallowing the food in order to reduce your longing. _____17_____ Visualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldn’t prevent you from eating lots of cheese,” he added.
Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups. One group was asked to imagine putting 30 coins into a laundry machine and then eating three chocolates. _____18_____ Another group was asked to imagine putting three coins into a laundry machine and then eating 30 chocolates. Lastly, a control group imagined just putting 33 coins into the machine—with no chocolates. _____19_____ When they said they had finished, these were taken away and weighed. The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups.
_____20_____ Physical signals—that full stomach feeling—are only part of what tells us we’ve finished a meal. The research suggests that psychological effects, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats. It may lead to new behavioral techniques for people looking to eat more healthily, or have control over other habits.
A. What’s more, this only works with the specific food you’ve imagined.
B. People were advised to try different methods to perform the experiment.
C. For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.
D. All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.
E It meant those who repeatedly imagined eating would concern about some specific food.
F. This requires the same motor skills as eating small chocolates from a packet, the study says.
G. This study is part of the research looking into what makes us eat more than we actually need.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇选句填空。文章介绍了心理因素对人们饮食数量的影响，例如“习惯化”。
【16题详解】
根据横线前面一句This reaction to repeated exposure to food—being less interested in something because you’ve experienced it too much—is called habituation.可知，当我们多次接触到某一食物的时候，我们对它的兴趣就会减少，因为我们已经熟悉了它。，C项：For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.(例如，根据这项研究，第十口要比第一口少。)是对前面理论的举例说明，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据横线后面一句Visualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldn’t prevent you from eating lots of cheese可知，想象自己吃巧克力的样子不会阻止你吃奶酪。也就是说我们要想象自己吃某种具体的食物，这样才会减少你对这种食物的渴望。A项：What’s more, this only works with the specific food you’ve imagined.(而且，这只适用于你想象中的特定食物。)恰好与此吻合，故选A。
【18题详解】
根据本段前面两句Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups.可知，研究人员对此问题进行了分组研究。第一组的研究对象被要求想象把30个硬币扔进洗衣机，然后想象吃了3个巧克力。这和从口袋里拿出巧克力来吃有类似的运动神经技巧，所以研究人员才会这样开展研究。F项：This requires the same motor skills as eating small chocolates from a packet, the study says.(这项研究称，这需要和吃小巧克力一样的运动技能。)符合文意，故选F。
【19题详解】
根据本段最后一句The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups.可知，在这些人吃完以后，进行称重。结果发现想象每次吃了30个巧克力的人实际上吃了最少。也就是说在他们实验结束以后，会让他们自由地吃巧克力。D项：All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.(然后，他们所有人都可以自由地从盛有相同数量巧克力的碗中进食。)符合文意，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据本段第三句The research suggests that psychological effects, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats.可知，本次研究说明心理方面的因素会影响人们吃的东西的量。由此可见这个研究是关于人们饮食数量的话题。G项：This study is part of the research looking into what makes us eat more than we actually need.(这项研究是研究什么使我们吃得比实际需要的多的研究的一部分。)，故选G。

Roger climbed up a ladder to take a look into the nest. Was it possible the hawk had spared the young Yes, there sat a newly hatched baby dove! We brought him inside and set up the nesting box with the heat lamps we had used for raising chickens. Then we rushed to the pet shop to buy the formula (配方奶) which needed to look like the mother’s milk. But even with our care and prayers, we knew that the dove’s chances were slim. We were especially worried that our little bird, whom we’d named Hawkeye, hardly cooed (咕咕地叫) at all. That had to be a bad sign.
But to our surprise, Hawkeye not only survived but also thrived. Within a month, he was able to stand on the edge of a bowl and eat out of a baby spoon. And before we knew it, he was eating the seeds we gave him. Having the opportunity to nurture this new life brought me a greater measure of peace with each passing day.
As Hawkeye grew, we noticed that unlike all the other doves in our yard, he had a double breast with a line dividing it. When I did some research on the doves, I found out that females don’t often coo.
“We got it all wrong,” I told Roger. “Hawkeye is a girl!”
We realized that we’d have to teach her to fly. First, we urged her to fly from a finger to the bottom rung (梯子的横档) of a six-foot ladder, and in no time she was moving quickly to the top. She lit out (逃走，溜掉) for the kitchen whenever she heard the click of the spoon on her bowl. By mid-June she’d gained full confidence in her wings.

【答案】One possible version:
At that time, we knew it was time to set our Hawkeye free. We took her outside, but she only flew about the yard, even when we left her and went back inside. My heart broke as she watched us through the window. Finally, after several minutes, she flew to the tree and then took off into the sky. I often stared out the back window, hoping to catch just a glimpse of her. “If I could only see her one more time,” I told Roger, “I’d know everything would be okay.” I had nearly given up hope.
But one May morning, Hawkeye and the other dove landed on the rooftop. The smaller one bore Hawkeye’s distinctive chest markings. She had not only returned, but she’d also brought her mate with her! They built a nest on the very same branch where Hawkeye had been born. Several weeks later we watched Hawkeye feed her own two babies. And every time she flew into the sky, I felt my own heart fly with her—light and filled with grace.
