Morgan Ridler, a two-year-old boy from Welsh, was diagnosed (诊断) with adrenocortical carcinoma last year. He had to leave his home in Swansea to suffer a risky operation (手术) in Birmingham because the doctors there “were the only ones willing to take it on with such low survival rates—only a 10 percent chance of survival.
When a student nurse heard his Welsh-speaking mother comforting him in their native language she decided to make sure Morgan would not feel frightened when his family were away during the nights. She wrote a series of comforting Welsh words on Morgan’s bedside notes, including their phonetic (语音的) spelling, to make sure all the doctors and nurses treating him could comfort their young patient if needed. The words included, “You’re OK” and “You’re safe”.
It was not until a year later that Natalie Ridler, 32, his mother, learnt about the act of kindness, after she requested a copy of his medical notes to help to make sense of what he had gone through. “I want to say thank you to her and I have nominated (提名) her for a student nursing award to thank her for going above and beyond,” Ridler said. Ridler posted about the act of kindness on social media and wanted to publicize it. In the Faccbook post, Ridler said, “…. it made my heart so full. What an unbelievable nurse she will make one day.”
The nurse got in touch with the family and spoke with Ridler over the phone. The nurse told Ridler she has now graduated and is due to start her first role in ICU next week.
Morgan is now just waiting for a small operation to remove his treatment line into his chest. “After that he can ring his bell to say he is all clear,” Ridler said.
24. Morgan Ridler was sent to a hospital in Birmingham because _________.

Mushrooms (蘑菇) usually grow on dark, damp forest floors or fallen tree branches. Now a company in Abu Dhabi has found a way to grow them in the middle of the desert.
Below Farm is producing special mushrooms. Co-founder Bronte Weir says the indoor farm, about 45 minutes’ drive from downtown Abu Dhabi, is the first in the region to grow and sell high-end mushrooms. Below Farm’s offerings are better than imported mushrooms, she says, because mushrooms lose their freshness quickly.
Weir co-founded the company in 2021, in cooperation with Liliana Slowinska and Wojciech Slowinski. They mainly sell the mushrooms to restaurants and stores. Also, they sell mushrooms directly to customers.
Weir says that existing indoor mushroom-growing technology, developed mainly in Europe and the United States, isn’t designed for Abu Dhabi’s high daytime temperatures, which can top 40 degrees Celsius in summer.
Wojciech Slowinski took the lead in developing a solution. The farm consists of four special chambers (室) covered in a foot-deep layer of insulation (隔热材料) to help keep the space cool. “We can create the right conditions for each type of mushroom,” says Weir. Maintaining higher air pressure inside the rooms helps to protect the crops from Abu Dhabi’s winds and dust.
Raj Dagstan , who runs a restaurant, is a fan of Below Farm. “The best-tasting pizza on the menu is the mushroom,” says Dagstani, adding that he created the dish after he tried out Below Farm’s mushrooms. He now orders 20 kilograms of mushrooms a week from the company. According to market intelligence experts, the global mushroom market grew by over 9% last year and continues to expand, partly due to the popularity of plant-based diets.
28. Where does Below Farm probably lie
A. In uptown Abu Dhabi. B. In the center of Abu Dhabi.
C. In a dark deep forest. D. In the grassland of the desert.
29. What does Bronte Weir do
A. A partner in Below Farm. B. A founder of Abu Dhabi.
C. A manager of a restaurant. D. A scientist in farming.
30. What can we learn about the new indoor mushroom-growing technology
A. It provides fresh air inside the rooms.
B. It helps to keep the heat out of the chambers.
C. It offers a new way to keep mushrooms fresh.
D. It promotes the development of mushroom varieties.
31. What can be inferred from Raj Dagstani’s words
A. Plant-based diets becomes more popular.
B. His restaurant sells the best-tasting pizza.
C. The global mushroom market is promising.
D. The Below Farm’s mushrooms are of high quality.
D
An experiment involving hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance.
AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. Such tools are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.
This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties, or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants (顾问), from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group.
Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned (分配的) tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent.
However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it “significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.”
The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work.
32. What is people’s attitude towards AI tools nowadays
A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The total results of the experiment.
B. AI technology taking the place of humans.
C. The speed and quality of the task completion.
D. AI tools greatly improving worker performance.
34. What does the underlined word “dipped” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Improved. B. Dropped. C. Changed. D. Disappeared.
35. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. AI and human work can be better combined.
B. AI technology will be a barrier to companies.
C. Businesses will benefit more from AI tools.
D. Humans should develop new versions of AL.

My father is a practical man. He can’t explain calculus (微积分) , but he can tell you how much pressure boiler needs. He put himself through night school to become an engineer, but that was only after he worked as an electrician and a mechanic.
One day we walked by a toy store window. Sitting in the corner was the most unusual dollhouse (玩具屋) I’d ever seen. It was shaped like an upturned log.
“Oh, Daddy,” I said, “isn’t it beautiful Do you think Santa Claus will bring it to me ”
Dad looked at the $100 price tag—an exorbitant (过高的) figure in those days. “I think even Santa couldn’t afford this house,” he joked, hiking up his belt as he often does when he’s nervous. “Maybe one day, sweetheart.”
On Christmas morning, I awoke early and raced downstairs. In the dim (昏暗的) light, I made out some wrapped boxes under the tree—but none large enough to contain my dollhouse. Dad could see my disappointment. He pulled me onto his lap and gently told me how, as a boy, he had wanted a red wagon, but his father couldn’t afford one. He said he made his own from wood and old wheels he found. “I’ll make one for you,” Dad promised me.
And right after Christmas, despite all the unfinished projects at home, he started it. I had thought it was an easy toy to make, but every step of the long process was more complex (复杂的) than I had expected. Night after night, Dad would come home from his job dead tired, yet he’d always find time to work on the log house. In the dim light, dad was always busy creating my dollhouse.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；

An experiment involving hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance.
AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. Such tools are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.
This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties, or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants (顾问), from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group.
Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned (分配的) tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent.
However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it “significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.”
The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work.
32. What is people’s attitude towards AI tools nowadays
A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The total results of the experiment.
B. AI technology taking the place of humans.
C. The speed and quality of the task completion.
D. AI tools greatly improving worker performance.
34. What does the underlined word “dipped” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Improved. B. Dropped. C. Changed. D. Disappeared.
35. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. AI and human work can be better combined.
B. AI technology will be a barrier to companies.
C. Businesses will benefit more from AI tools.
D. Humans should develop new versions of AL.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A

67. 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。
My father is a practical man. He can’t explain calculus (微积分) , but he can tell you how much pressure boiler needs. He put himself through night school to become an engineer, but that was only after he worked as an electrician and a mechanic.
One day we walked by a toy store window. Sitting in the corner was the most unusual dollhouse (玩具屋) I’d ever seen. It was shaped like an upturned log.
“Oh, Daddy,” I said, “isn’t it beautiful Do you think Santa Claus will bring it to me ”
Dad looked at the $100 price tag—an exorbitant (过高的) figure in those days. “I think even Santa couldn’t afford this house,” he joked, hiking up his belt as he often does when he’s nervous. “Maybe one day, sweetheart.”
On Christmas morning, I awoke early and raced downstairs. In the dim (昏暗的) light, I made out some wrapped boxes under the tree—but none large enough to contain my dollhouse. Dad could see my disappointment. He pulled me onto his lap and gently told me how, as a boy, he had wanted a red wagon, but his father couldn’t afford one. He said he made his own from wood and old wheels he found. “I’ll make one for you,” Dad promised me.
And right after Christmas, despite all the unfinished projects at home, he started it. I had thought it was an easy toy to make, but every step of the long process was more complex (复杂的) than I had expected. Night after night, Dad would come home from his job dead tired, yet he’d always find time to work on the log house. In the dim light, dad was always busy creating my dollhouse.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。
I hesitated (犹豫) , wondering if I should help mу father.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In all, it took one month of hard work by us.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I hesitated, wondering if I should help my father. But he seemed to know what I thought and one night said to me with a smile, “I need your help. Let’s create the dollhouse together.” “But, daddy, I don’t know how,” said I. “That doesn’t matter. I will teach you,” said my father. So every night when he worked on the dollhouse, I would sit by his side and he would patiently and lovingly teach me how to make such a toy. It was really not easy, but our efforts paid off and we finally made it.
In all, it took one month of hard work by us. My joy was beyond description at that moment. Then I heard my father saying, “I can build a lot of things, but I can’t build your life. All I can do is to help you build your own.” I would always remember his words, so the dollhouse became the most special gift to me. Long after I gave up playing dolls, I would occasionally bring it down from the attic just to admire it and remember those days when we worked together to bring my dream to life.

Morgan Ridler, a two-year-old boy from Welsh, was diagnosed (诊断) with adrenocortical carcinoma last year. He had to leave his home in Swansea to suffer a risky operation (手术) in Birmingham because the doctors there “were the only ones willing to take it on with such low survival rates—only a 10 percent chance of survival.
When a student nurse heard his Welsh-speaking mother comforting him in their native language she decided to make sure Morgan would not feel frightened when his family were away during the nights. She wrote a series of comforting Welsh words on Morgan’s bedside notes, including their phonetic (语音的) spelling, to make sure all the doctors and nurses treating him could comfort their young patient if needed. The words included, “You’re OK” and “You’re safe”.
It was not until a year later that Natalie Ridler, 32, his mother, learnt about the act of kindness, after she requested a copy of his medical notes to help to make sense of what he had gone through. “I want to say thank you to her and I have nominated (提名) her for a student nursing award to thank her for going above and beyond,” Ridler said. Ridler posted about the act of kindness on social media and wanted to publicize it. In the Faccbook post, Ridler said, “…. it made my heart so full. What an unbelievable nurse she will make one day.”
The nurse got in touch with the family and spoke with Ridler over the phone. The nurse told Ridler she has now graduated and is due to start her first role in ICU next week.
Morgan is now just waiting for a small operation to remove his treatment line into his chest. “After that he can ring his bell to say he is all clear,” Ridler said.
24. Morgan Ridler was sent to a hospital in Birmingham because _________.

Mushrooms (蘑菇) usually grow on dark, damp forest floors or fallen tree branches. Now a company in Abu Dhabi has found a way to grow them in the middle of the desert.
Below Farm is producing special mushrooms. Co-founder Bronte Weir says the indoor farm, about 45 minutes’ drive from downtown Abu Dhabi, is the first in the region to grow and sell high-end mushrooms. Below Farm’s offerings are better than imported mushrooms, she says, because mushrooms lose their freshness quickly.
Weir co-founded the company in 2021, in cooperation with Liliana Slowinska and Wojciech Slowinski. They mainly sell the mushrooms to restaurants and stores. Also, they sell mushrooms directly to customers.
Weir says that existing indoor mushroom-growing technology, developed mainly in Europe and the United States, isn’t designed for Abu Dhabi’s high daytime temperatures, which can top 40 degrees Celsius in summer.
Wojciech Slowinski took the lead in developing a solution. The farm consists of four special chambers (室) covered in a foot-deep layer of insulation (隔热材料) to help keep the space cool. “We can create the right conditions for each type of mushroom,” says Weir. Maintaining higher air pressure inside the rooms helps to protect the crops from Abu Dhabi’s winds and dust.
Raj Dagstan , who runs a restaurant, is a fan of Below Farm. “The best-tasting pizza on the menu is the mushroom,” says Dagstani, adding that he created the dish after he tried out Below Farm’s mushrooms. He now orders 20 kilograms of mushrooms a week from the company. According to market intelligence experts, the global mushroom market grew by over 9% last year and continues to expand, partly due to the popularity of plant-based diets.
28. Where does Below Farm probably lie
A. In uptown Abu Dhabi. B. In the center of Abu Dhabi.
C. In a dark deep forest. D. In the grassland of the desert.
29. What does Bronte Weir do
A. A partner in Below Farm. B. A founder of Abu Dhabi.
C. A manager of a restaurant. D. A scientist in farming.
30. What can we learn about the new indoor mushroom-growing technology
A. It provides fresh air inside the rooms.
B. It helps to keep the heat out of the chambers.
C. It offers a new way to keep mushrooms fresh.
D. It promotes the development of mushroom varieties.
31. What can be inferred from Raj Dagstani’s words
A. Plant-based diets becomes more popular.
B. His restaurant sells the best-tasting pizza.
C. The global mushroom market is promising.
D. The Below Farm’s mushrooms are of high quality.
D
An experiment involving hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance.
AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. Such tools are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.
This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties, or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants (顾问), from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group.
Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned (分配的) tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent.
However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it “significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.”
The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work.
32. What is people’s attitude towards AI tools nowadays
A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The total results of the experiment.
B. AI technology taking the place of humans.
C. The speed and quality of the task completion.
D. AI tools greatly improving worker performance.
34. What does the underlined word “dipped” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Improved. B. Dropped. C. Changed. D. Disappeared.
35. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. AI and human work can be better combined.
B. AI technology will be a barrier to companies.
C. Businesses will benefit more from AI tools.
D. Humans should develop new versions of AL.

It was not until a year later that Natalie Ridler, 32, his mother, learnt about the act of kindness, after she requested a copy of his medical notes to help to make sense of what he had gone through. “I want to say thank you to her and I have nominated (提名) her for a student nursing award to thank her for going above and beyond,” Ridler said. Ridler posted about the act of kindness on social media and wanted to publicize it. In the Faccbook post, Ridler said, “…. it made my heart so full. What an unbelievable nurse she will make one day.”

Mushrooms (蘑菇) usually grow on dark, damp forest floors or fallen tree branches. Now a company in Abu Dhabi has found a way to grow them in the middle of the desert.
Below Farm is producing special mushrooms. Co-founder Bronte Weir says the indoor farm, about 45 minutes’ drive from downtown Abu Dhabi, is the first in the region to grow and sell high-end mushrooms. Below Farm’s offerings are better than imported mushrooms, she says, because mushrooms lose their freshness quickly.
Weir co-founded the company in 2021, in cooperation with Liliana Slowinska and Wojciech Slowinski. They mainly sell the mushrooms to restaurants and stores. Also, they sell mushrooms directly to customers.
Weir says that existing indoor mushroom-growing technology, developed mainly in Europe and the United States, isn’t designed for Abu Dhabi’s high daytime temperatures, which can top 40 degrees Celsius in summer.
Wojciech Slowinski took the lead in developing a solution. The farm consists of four special chambers (室) covered in a foot-deep layer of insulation (隔热材料) to help keep the space cool. “We can create the right conditions for each type of mushroom,” says Weir. Maintaining higher air pressure inside the rooms helps to protect the crops from Abu Dhabi’s winds and dust.
Raj Dagstan , who runs a restaurant, is a fan of Below Farm. “The best-tasting pizza on the menu is the mushroom,” says Dagstani, adding that he created the dish after he tried out Below Farm’s mushrooms. He now orders 20 kilograms of mushrooms a week from the company. According to market intelligence experts, the global mushroom market grew by over 9% last year and continues to expand, partly due to the popularity of plant-based diets.
28. Where does Below Farm probably lie
A. In uptown Abu Dhabi. B. In the center of Abu Dhabi.
C In a dark deep forest. D. In the grassland of the desert.
29. What does Bronte Weir do
A. A partner in Below Farm. B. A founder of Abu Dhabi.
C. A manager of a restaurant. D. A scientist in farming.
30. What can we learn about the new indoor mushroom-growing technology
A. It provides fresh air inside the rooms.
B. It helps to keep the heat out of the chambers.
C. It offers a new way to keep mushrooms fresh.
D. It promotes the development of mushroom varieties.
31. What can be inferred from Raj Dagstani’s words
A. Plant-based diets becomes more popular.
B. His restaurant sells the best-tasting pizza.
C. The global mushroom market is promising.
D. The Below Farm’s mushrooms are of high quality.

An experiment involving hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance.
AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. Such tools are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.
This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties, or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants (顾问), from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group.
Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned (分配的) tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent.
However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it “significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.”
The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work.
32. What is people’s attitude towards AI tools nowadays
A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The total results of the experiment.
B. AI technology taking the place of humans.
C. The speed and quality of the task completion.
D. AI tools greatly improving worker performance.
34. What does the underlined word “dipped” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Improved. B. Dropped. C. Changed. D. Disappeared.
35. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. AI and human work can be better combined.
B. AI technology will be a barrier to companies.
C. Businesses will benefit more from AI tools.
D. Humans should develop new versions of AL.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A

第二节 读后续写（满分25分)
67. 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。
My father is a practical man. He can’t explain calculus (微积分) , but he can tell you how much pressure boiler needs. He put himself through night school to become an engineer, but that was only after he worked as an electrician and a mechanic.
One day we walked by a toy store window. Sitting in the corner was the most unusual dollhouse (玩具屋) I’d ever seen. It was shaped like an upturned log.
“Oh, Daddy,” I said, “isn’t it beautiful Do you think Santa Claus will bring it to me ”
Dad looked at the $100 price tag—an exorbitant (过高的) figure in those days. “I think even Santa couldn’t afford this house,” he joked, hiking up his belt as he often does when he’s nervous. “Maybe one day, sweetheart.”
On Christmas morning, I awoke early and raced downstairs. In the dim (昏暗的) light, I made out some wrapped boxes under the tree—but none large enough to contain my dollhouse. Dad could see my disappointment. He pulled me onto his lap and gently told me how, as a boy, he had wanted a red wagon, but his father couldn’t afford one. He said he made his own from wood and old wheels he found. “I’ll make one for you,” Dad promised me.
And right after Christmas, despite all the unfinished projects at home, he started it. I had thought it was an easy toy to make, but every step of the long process was more complex (复杂的) than I had expected. Night after night, Dad would come home from his job dead tired, yet he’d always find time to work on the log house. In the dim light, dad was always busy creating my dollhouse.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。
I hesitated (犹豫) , wondering if I should help mу father.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In all, it took one month of hard work by us.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I hesitated, wondering if I should help my father. But he seemed to know what I thought and one night said to me with a smile, “I need your help. Let’s create the dollhouse together.” “But, daddy, I don’t know how,” said I. “That doesn’t matter. I will teach you,” said my father. So every night when he worked on the dollhouse, I would sit by his side and he would patiently and lovingly teach me how to make such a toy. It was really not easy, but our efforts paid off and we finally made it.
In all, it took one month of hard work by us. My joy was beyond description at that moment. Then I heard my father saying, “I can build a lot of things, but I can’t build your life. All I can do is to help you build your own.” I would always remember his words, so the dollhouse became the most special gift to me. Long after I gave up playing dolls, I would occasionally bring it down from the attic just to admire it and remember those days when we worked together to bring my dream to life.
