It was a typical weekend for Mitch White and his friends. They were out celebrating a bachelor party, sailing the peaceful waters of the Minnesota River. They never expected that this single party would transform from a relaxed canoe trip into a painful rescue mission. With the sun setting, an unexpected bark changed everything.
Led by Mitch White, the soon-to-be-married man, they searched for the source of the sound along the banks of the river. Suddenly, a weak cry for help came from the mud. They were surprised to find that the head of a 13-year-old St. Bernard named Ed was barely visible in the thick mud. Mitch said, “The dog wasn’t moving on its own, so we should feed it and give it water.” The dog looked like it had used all its strength.
The men took up their oars (桨) and began digging, their festive mood giving way to a focused rescue mission. It took them more than half an hour to free the trapped dog as it was already breathing very feebly after possibly being trapped for 24 hours. When they got the poor fellow out of the mud, he couldn’t walk, so they carried him back to the house. Back home with his owner, George Niskanen, Ed began his slow restoration—a happy ending to a dangerous adventure. George was thankful to the bachelor party heroes.
Now, the people of Carver, Minnesota, have new heroes to cheer for. Indeed, this incredible act of bravery and compassion redefined the meaning of a bachelor party. It became a heroic tale of humanity, friendship, and the instinct (本能) to do what’s right.

If you’re thinking about growing apples, now is the time to test different kinds and talk with local growers. This advice comes from gardening writer Lee Reich. His books include The Pruning (修剪) Book and Weedless Gardening. Reich grows an apple called Hudson’s Golden Gem, and he does so for one reason — the taste. He says the fruit’s wonderful taste makes it truly special.
When you buy apples at the store, your choice is limited to the 12 or more kinds available for sale. Gardeners, however, have more choices. They can plant any of more than 5,000 different kinds of apples.
Gardeners can also harvest their apples just as each kind reaches its moment of perfection. Reich says his Macoun apples taste much better than any Macoun apples found in stores. One reason is that his can be left to ripen until they nearly fall off the tree.
Here are some other flavorful apples to plant. The Ashmead’s Kernel apple was first grown more than 200 years ago in a garden belonging to Dr. Ashmead in Gloucester, England. The apple has a reddish, golden brown color. Inside, it has tasty, sharp flesh. Cox’s Orange Pippin is another old apple from England. It was first grown by Richard Cox in 1825. This apple’s orange and red color makes it unpopular in the American market. But it is loved for its strong taste. Ellison’s Orange is another British apple that came from Lincolnshire in 1911. It is a late summer or early autumn apple, golden yellow with stripes, with juicy flesh.
Before you run out to buy trees to grow the kinds you love to eat, Reich does have a warning: Apples are not easy to grow in many parts of the country. The plants require yearly pruning and insect control. But if you’re willing to learn how to keep the unwanted insects away, a few kinds of trees chosen for their taste will give you years of good eating.
8 What can we infer about Lee Reich
A. He is a teacher. B. He loves planting.
C. He grows a very rare kind of flower. D. His books are about how to sell trees.
9. Why are Reich’s Macoun apples tastier than those in the store
A. They are naturally ripe. B. They are planted in the garden.
C. They have been picked out carefully. D. They are genetically modified products.
10. How many types of apples are mentioned in the text
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
11. What do you need to do in planting apple trees according to the last paragraph
A. Water enough. B. Read many relative books.
C. Pay attention to light and nutrition. D. Prune the trees and remove insects.
D
A major meeting of computer hackers (黑客) planned for this summer is to include an event that will test the limits of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The event, in August, will be held as part of the yearly DEF CON hacker meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Organizers say the meeting provides a chance for hackers to hear from leading industry officials about the latest developments in computer security. It also includes hacking competitions.
This year, several major AI developers will take part in DEF CON. Among them will be OpenAI, which launched its latest AI model, ChatGPT-4, in March.
Recently released AI tools are built by feeding huge amounts of information into machine learning computer systems. The data trains the AI systems to develop complex skills and produce human-like results.
Experts have warned that such systems may bring major changes to many different jobs and industries. It affects everyone from managers to workers to housewives. They also fear the tools, known as “chatbots”, could greatly increase the amount of misinformation in the news media and on social media.
Chowdhury, an organizer of the hacking event, says the results of the event can provide helpful information to companies looking at ways to safely use the fast-developing AI systems. She notes that the hackers’ work will not end after the gathering. They will spend months afterward creating reports on their findings and identifying specific system vulnerabilities (漏洞).
Jack Clark is the co-founder of AI developer Anthropic. He says he hopes the DEF CON event will lead to deeper commitments from AI developers to measure and test the safety of their systems. For this to happen, though, AI systems will need to be examined by third parties both before and after deployment (部署). “We need to get practice at figuring out how to do this. It hasn’t really been done before,” he says.
12. What can hackers learn from this meeting
A. The rules of AI tool competitions.
B. The application of model ChatGPT-4.
C. The future of hackers in the computer field.
D. The latest developments in computer security.
13. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Experts. B. Managers. C. Workers. D. Housewives.
14. Which of the following statements does Chowdhury agree with
A. The current network system is approaching perfection.
B. The activity of improving network security will not stop.
C. The reports accelerate the development of AI.
D. AI systems need to be inspected by the third parties.
15. What do Jack Clark’s words imply
A. AI users must test the security of computer systems.
B. AI developers may overlook the shortcomings of their own products.
C. AI systems develop complex skills and produce results similar to those of humans.
D. The DEF CON event will encourage companies to develop new products.

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。
What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life The clearest message that we got from a 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. ___16___
The first is that social connections are really good for us, and that loneliness kills. It turns out that people who are more socially connected to others are happier. ___17___ On the contrary, the experience of loneliness turns out to be harmful. There are some people who are more lonely than they want to be. They find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely.
And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage. So the second big lesson that we learned is that it’s not just the number of friends you have, and it’s not whether or not you’re in a committed relationship, but it’s the quality of your close relationships that matters. ___18___ High-conflict marriages, for example, without much love, turn out to be very bad for our health.
And the third big lesson that we learned about relationships is that good relationships don’t just protect our bodies, they protect our brains. It turns out that being in a securely attached relationship is protective. Many people are in relationships where they can get help from the other persons in times of need. ___19___
So, good and close relationships are good for our health and well-being. ___20___ This is wisdom that’s as old as the hills. Now, ask yourself a question: If you were going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your time and your energy

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。
It was cold outside. It seemed as if a snowstorm was approaching. As evening fell, the wind picked up its pace, howling through the streets like a wounded beast seeking solace (安慰) in destruction. Then the snow started.
As usual, Tom and I worked overtime in the company. After finishing the work, we were ready to go home together. The snow was coming down even harder. Within minutes, I was in a whiteout. After giving Tom a ride, struggling to navigate the icy path, I took a shortcut (近路) so as to get home earlier.
The wind howled and whipped (吹打) the flakes of snow into a frenzy (疯狂), making it impossible to see more than a few feet ahead. The car was frozen and getting covered with snow, so I slowed down and rolled down my driver’s side window, thinking I could better follow the road edge and keep a straight line. But in fact, I had no clue where I was. I stopped and kept the car running to stay warm. I called 911. Unfortunately, the operator told me that the weather was too bad to do me a favor and asked me to wait out the storm for the night.
The call left me in a total panic. “Breathe,” I told myself, attempting to keep calm. Tom knew what had happened to me.“ Maybe you could ask for help online and there must be some people living nearby your location and they can show you the right direction.” He told me on the phone. I posted my location online and explained what I was going through, wishing for anyone to come to my rescue.

If you’re thinking about growing apples, now is the time to test different kinds and talk with local growers. This advice comes from gardening writer Lee Reich. His books include The Pruning (修剪) Book and Weedless Gardening. Reich grows an apple called Hudson’s Golden Gem, and he does so for one reason — the taste. He says the fruit’s wonderful taste makes it truly special.
When you buy apples at the store, your choice is limited to the 12 or more kinds available for sale. Gardeners, however, have more choices. They can plant any of more than 5,000 different kinds of apples.
Gardeners can also harvest their apples just as each kind reaches its moment of perfection. Reich says his Macoun apples taste much better than any Macoun apples found in stores. One reason is that his can be left to ripen until they nearly fall off the tree.
Here are some other flavorful apples to plant. The Ashmead’s Kernel apple was first grown more than 200 years ago in a garden belonging to Dr. Ashmead in Gloucester, England. The apple has a reddish, golden brown color. Inside, it has tasty, sharp flesh. Cox’s Orange Pippin is another old apple from England. It was first grown by Richard Cox in 1825. This apple’s orange and red color makes it unpopular in the American market. But it is loved for its strong taste. Ellison’s Orange is another British apple that came from Lincolnshire in 1911. It is a late summer or early autumn apple, golden yellow with stripes, with juicy flesh.
Before you run out to buy trees to grow the kinds you love to eat, Reich does have a warning: Apples are not easy to grow in many parts of the country. The plants require yearly pruning and insect control. But if you’re willing to learn how to keep the unwanted insects away, a few kinds of trees chosen for their taste will give you years of good eating.
8. What can we infer about Lee Reich
A. He is a teacher. B. He loves planting.
C. He grows a very rare kind of flower. D. His books are about how to sell trees.
9. Why are Reich’s Macoun apples tastier than those in the store
A. They are naturally ripe. B. They are planted in the garden.
C. They have been picked out carefully. D. They are genetically modified products.
10. How many types of apples are mentioned in the text
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
11. What do you need to do in planting apple trees according to the last paragraph
A. Water enough. B. Read many relative books.

A major meeting of computer hackers (黑客) planned for this summer is to include an event that will test the limits of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The event, in August, will be held as part of the yearly DEF CON hacker meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Organizers say the meeting provides a chance for hackers to hear from leading industry officials about the latest developments in computer security. It also includes hacking competitions.
This year, several major AI developers will take part in DEF CON. Among them will be OpenAI, which launched its latest AI model, ChatGPT-4, in March.
Recently released AI tools are built by feeding huge amounts of information into machine learning computer systems. The data trains the AI systems to develop complex skills and produce human-like results.
Experts have warned that such systems may bring major changes to many different jobs and industries. It affects everyone from managers to workers to housewives. They also fear the tools, known as “chatbots”, could greatly increase the amount of misinformation in the news media and on social media.
Chowdhury an organizer of the hacking event, says the results of the event can provide helpful information to companies looking at ways to safely use the fast-developing AI systems. She notes that the hackers’ work will not end after the gathering. They will spend months afterward creating reports on their findings and identifying specific system vulnerabilities (漏洞).
Jack Clark is the co-founder of AI developer Anthropic. He says he hopes the DEF CON event will lead to deeper commitments from AI developers to measure and test the safety of their systems. For this to happen, though, AI systems will need to be examined by third parties both before and after deployment (部署). “We need to get practice at figuring out how to do this. It hasn’t really been done before,” he says.
12. What can hackers learn from this meeting
A. The rules of AI tool competitions.
B. The application of model ChatGPT-4.
C. The future of hackers in the computer field.
D. The latest developments in computer security.
13. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to

A. The current network system is approaching perfection.
B. The activity of improving network security will not stop.

So, good and close relationships are good for our health and well-being. ___20___ This is wisdom that’s as old as the hills. Now, ask yourself a question: If you were going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your time and your energy

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。
It was cold outside. It seemed as if a snowstorm was approaching. As evening fell, the wind picked up its pace, howling through the streets like a wounded beast seeking solace (安慰) in destruction. Then the snow started.
As usual, Tom and I worked overtime in the company. After finishing the work, we were ready to go home together. The snow was coming down even harder. Within minutes, I was in a whiteout. After giving Tom a ride, struggling to navigate the icy path, I took a shortcut (近路) so as to get home earlier.
The wind howled and whipped (吹打) the flakes of snow into a frenzy (疯狂), making it impossible to see more than a few feet ahead. The car was frozen and getting covered with snow, so I slowed down and rolled down my driver’s side window, thinking I could better follow the road edge and keep a straight line. But in fact, I had no clue where I was. I stopped and kept the car running to stay warm. I called 911. Unfortunately, the operator told me that the weather was too bad to do me a favor and asked me to wait out the storm for the night.
The call left me in a total panic. “Breathe,” I told myself, attempting to keep calm. Tom knew what had happened to me.“ Maybe you could ask for help online and there must be some people living nearby your location and they can show you the right direction.” He told me on the phone. I posted my location online and explained what I was going through, wishing for anyone to come to my rescue.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Within minutes, responses started flooding in.

Then I saw a big figure (人影) in the dark.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Within minutes, responses started flooding in. Some people offered words of encouragement, telling me to stay strong and that everything would be okay. Others shared their own experiences of being stuck in similar situations and how they managed to get through it. A few even suggested practical solutions, like staying in the car and waiting for the snow to stop or trying to find a nearby shelter. I felt a sense of warmth and hope amidst the cold and darkness.
Then I saw a big figure in the dark. As the figure approached, I realized it was a man wearing a thick coat and carrying a shovel. He introduced himself as a neighbor who lived nearby and had seen my post. Without hesitation, he started clearing the snow around my car and helping me push it out of the snowdrift. With his help, I was finally able to get back on the road and drive home safely. I was extremely grateful for his kindness and the support I received from the online community.

It was a typical weekend for Mitch White and his friends. They were out celebrating a bachelor party, sailing the peaceful waters of the Minnesota River. They never expected that this single party would transform from a relaxed canoe trip into a painful rescue mission. With the sun setting, an unexpected bark changed everything.
Led by Mitch White, the soon-to-be-married man, they searched for the source of the sound along the banks of the river. Suddenly, a weak cry for help came from the mud. They were surprised to find that the head of a 13-year-old St. Bernard named Ed was barely visible in the thick mud. Mitch said, “The dog wasn’t moving on its own, so we should feed it and give it water.” The dog looked like it had used all its strength.
The men took up their oars (桨) and began digging, their festive mood giving way to a focused rescue mission. It took them more than half an hour to free the trapped dog as it was already breathing very feebly after possibly being trapped for 24 hours. When they got the poor fellow out of the mud, he couldn’t walk, so they carried him back to the house. Back home with his owner, George Niskanen, Ed began his slow restoration—a happy ending to a dangerous adventure. George was thankful to the bachelor party heroes.
Now, the people of Carver, Minnesota, have new heroes to cheer for. Indeed, this incredible act of bravery and compassion redefined the meaning of a bachelor party. It became a heroic tale of humanity, friendship, and the instinct (本能) to do what’s right.

And the third big lesson that we learned about relationships is that good relationships don’t just protect our bodies, they protect our brains. It turns out that being in a securely attached relationship is protective. Many people are in relationships where they can get help from the other persons in times of need. ___19___
So, good and close relationships are good for our health and well-being. ___20___ This is wisdom that’s as old as the hills. Now, ask yourself a question: If you were going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your time and your energy

It was cold outside. It seemed as if a snowstorm was approaching. As evening fell, the wind picked up its pace, howling through the streets like a wounded beast seeking solace (安慰) in destruction. Then the snow started.
As usual, Tom and I worked overtime in the company. After finishing the work, we were ready to go home together. The snow was coming down even harder. Within minutes, I was in a whiteout. After giving Tom a ride, struggling to navigate the icy path, I took a shortcut (近路) so as to get home earlier.
The wind howled and whipped (吹打) the flakes of snow into a frenzy (疯狂), making it impossible to see more than a few feet ahead. The car was frozen and getting covered with snow, so I slowed down and rolled down my driver’s side window, thinking I could better follow the road edge and keep a straight line. But in fact, I had no clue where I was. I stopped and kept the car running to stay warm. I called 911. Unfortunately, the operator told me that the weather was too bad to do me a favor and asked me to wait out the storm for the night.
The call left me in a total panic. “Breathe,” I told myself, attempting to keep calm. Tom knew what had happened to me.“ Maybe you could ask for help online and there must be some people living nearby your location and they can show you the right direction.” He told me on the phone. I posted my location online and explained what I was going through, wishing for anyone to come to my rescue.

It was a typical weekend for Mitch White and his friends. They were out celebrating a bachelor party, sailing the peaceful waters of the Minnesota River. They never expected that this single party would transform from a relaxed canoe trip into a painful rescue mission. With the sun setting, an unexpected bark changed everything.
Led by Mitch White, the soon-to-be-married man, they searched for the source of the sound along the banks of the river. Suddenly, a weak cry for help came from the mud. They were surprised to find that the head of a 13-year-old St. Bernard named Ed was barely visible in the thick mud. Mitch said, “The dog wasn’t moving on its own, so we should feed it and give it water.” The dog looked like it had used all its strength.
The men took up their oars (桨) and began digging, their festive mood giving way to a focused rescue mission. It took them more than half an hour to free the trapped dog as it was already breathing very feebly after possibly being trapped for 24 hours. When they got the poor fellow out of the mud, he couldn’t walk, so they carried him back to the house. Back home with his owner, George Niskanen, Ed began his slow restoration—a happy ending to a dangerous adventure. George was thankful to the bachelor party heroes.
Now, the people of Carver, Minnesota, have new heroes to cheer for. Indeed, this incredible act of bravery and compassion redefined the meaning of a bachelor party. It became a heroic tale of humanity, friendship, and the instinct (本能) to do what’s right.
4. What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A. A baby’s cry came from the Minnesota River.
B. Mitch White was about to end his single life soon.
C. A dog named Ed ran into Mitch White and his friends’ party.
D. Mitch White and his friends planned to watch the sunrise by the river.
5. What does the underlined word “feebly” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Excitedly. B. Smoothly. C. Quietly. D. Weakly.
6. What do the locals think of Mitch White and his friends
A. Ambitious. B. Creative. C. Courageous. D. Independent.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. An Unexpected Rescue at a Bachelor Party
B. The Story Between St. Bernard and Its Owner
C. A Heart-Stopping Competition on the Minnesota River
D. The Weekend Activities for Mitch White and His Friends

If you’re thinking about growing apples, now is the time to test different kinds and talk with local growers. This advice comes from gardening writer Lee Reich. His books include The Pruning (修剪) Book and Weedless Gardening. Reich grows an apple called Hudson’s Golden Gem, and he does so for one reason — the taste. He says the fruit’s wonderful taste makes it truly special.
When you buy apples at the store, your choice is limited to the 12 or more kinds available for sale. Gardeners, however, have more choices. They can plant any of more than 5,000 different kinds of apples.
Gardeners can also harvest their apples just as each kind reaches its moment of perfection. Reich says his Macoun apples taste much better than any Macoun apples found in stores. One reason is that his can be left to ripen until they nearly fall off the tree.
Here are some other flavorful apples to plant. The Ashmead’s Kernel apple was first grown more than 200 years ago in a garden belonging to Dr. Ashmead in Gloucester, England. The apple has a reddish, golden brown color. Inside, it has tasty, sharp flesh. Cox’s Orange Pippin is another old apple from England. It was first grown by Richard Cox in 1825. This apple’s orange and red color makes it unpopular in the American market. But it is loved for its strong taste. Ellison’s Orange is another British apple that came from Lincolnshire in 1911. It is a late summer or early autumn apple, golden yellow with stripes, with juicy flesh.
Before you run out to buy trees to grow the kinds you love to eat, Reich does have a warning: Apples are not easy to grow in many parts of the country. The plants require yearly pruning and insect control. But if you’re willing to learn how to keep the unwanted insects away, a few kinds of trees chosen for their taste will give you years of good eating.
8. What can we infer about Lee Reich
A. He is a teacher. B. He loves planting.
C. He grows a very rare kind of flower. D. His books are about how to sell trees.
9. Why are Reich’s Macoun apples tastier than those in the store
A. They are naturally ripe. B. They are planted in the garden.
C. They have been picked out carefully. D. They are genetically modified products.
10. How many types of apples are mentioned in the text
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
11. What do you need to do in planting apple trees according to the last paragraph
A. Water enough. B. Read many relative books.
C. Pay attention to light and nutrition. D. Prune the trees and remove insects.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D

A major meeting of computer hackers (黑客) planned for this summer is to include an event that will test the limits of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The event, in August, will be held as part of the yearly DEF CON hacker meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Organizers say the meeting provides a chance for hackers to hear from leading industry officials about the latest developments in computer security. It also includes hacking competitions.
This year, several major AI developers will take part in DEF CON. Among them will be OpenAI, which launched its latest AI model, ChatGPT-4, in March.
Recently released AI tools are built by feeding huge amounts of information into machine learning computer systems. The data trains the AI systems to develop complex skills and produce human-like results.
Experts have warned that such systems may bring major changes to many different jobs and industries. It affects everyone from managers to workers to housewives. They also fear the tools, known as “chatbots”, could greatly increase the amount of misinformation in the news media and on social media.
Chowdhury an organizer of the hacking event, says the results of the event can provide helpful information to companies looking at ways to safely use the fast-developing AI systems. She notes that the hackers’ work will not end after the gathering. They will spend months afterward creating reports on their findings and identifying specific system vulnerabilities (漏洞).
Jack Clark is the co-founder of AI developer Anthropic. He says he hopes the DEF CON event will lead to deeper commitments from AI developers to measure and test the safety of their systems. For this to happen, though, AI systems will need to be examined by third parties both before and after deployment (部署). “We need to get practice at figuring out how to do this. It hasn’t really been done before,” he says.
12. What can hackers learn from this meeting
A. The rules of AI tool competitions.
B. The application of model ChatGPT-4.
C. The future of hackers in the computer field.
D. The latest developments in computer security.
13. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Experts. B. Managers. C. Workers. D. Housewives.
14. Which of the following statements does Chowdhury agree with
A. The current network system is approaching perfection.
B. The activity of improving network security will not stop.
C. The reports accelerate the development of AI.
D. AI systems need to be inspected by the third parties.
15. What do Jack Clark’s words imply
A. AI users must test the security of computer systems.
B. AI developers may overlook the shortcomings of their own products.
C. AI systems develop complex skills and produce results similar to those of humans.
D. The DEF CON event will encourage companies to develop new products.

What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life The clearest message that we got from a 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. ___16___

We encounter various challenges in our life and improving ourselves is the best way to deal difficulties bravely. Here are some ways we can adopt to improve ourselves.
Firstly, reading never fails to be a good way to broaden our horizons and strengthen our ability to solve problems. Secondly, learning from our friends is another way to better ourselves. What’s more, constant self-reflection plays an important role in helping us spot our shortcomings and correct them in time to make progress. Last but not least, we are supposed to concentrate more on our study and master better learning methods to make up for our weak subjects.
Hopefully, we can be better than we have ever been.

The call left me in a total panic. “Breathe,” I told myself, attempting to keep calm. Tom knew what had happened to me.“ Maybe you could ask for help online and there must be some people living nearby your location and they can show you the right direction.” He told me on the phone. I posted my location online and explained what I was going through, wishing for anyone to come to my rescue.

【答案】范文
Within minutes, responses started flooding in. Some people offered words of encouragement, telling me to stay strong and that everything would be okay. Others shared their own experiences of being stuck in similar situations and how they managed to get through it. A few even suggested practical solutions, like staying in the car and waiting for the snow to stop or trying to find a nearby shelter. I felt a sense of warmth and hope amidst the cold and darkness.
Then I saw a big figure in the dark. As the figure approached, I realized it was a man wearing a thick coat and carrying a shovel. He introduced himself as a neighbor who lived nearby and had seen my post. Without hesitation, he started clearing the snow around my car and helping me push it out of the snowdrift. With his help, I was finally able to get back on the road and drive home safely. I was extremely grateful for his kindness and the support I received from the online community.
