Super Camp is the best learning, life and career skills summer camp for ages 11-19. It helps students prepare for future studies and enrich their experiences. By providing college-like classes, exciting outdoor activities, personal growth and character building exercises, Super Camp enables students to increase grades, sharpen study skills, and lead a better life.
There are three choices set for different students.
Super Camp Senior Forum offers 6-day and 10-day residential (寄宿制的) programs at four well-known U.S. colleges this summer: Stanford, Villanova, the University of Central Florida and Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX.

In the rush of day-to-day life, we don’t always have the time to slow down and move at our own speed. Even on vacation, we always try to visit, do and taste as many things as possible in a new place or many places.
“I’ve heard countless times how tired people are when they come back from their vacation and feel like they ‘need a vacation from their vacation,’ and that’s because many times we pack so much into a very short time,” said travel blogger Esther Susag. “We want to see everything, do everything, and not waste a minute.
There is, however, another method that many experienced travelers suggest: slow travel. But what exactly is slow travel, and how do you take full advantage of this kind of trip Below ,travel experts break it down.
As the name suggests, slow travel generally needs travelers to slow down and enjoy each moment, rather than rushing to check off the list items. “Slow travel may mean different things to different travelers, but I define (定义) it as staying in one place for longer and going deeper into the local culture,” said Paul Jacobs, general manager and vice president of Kayak North America. “It’s taking the time to make real connections with locals instead of packing a schedule full of tours.”
For travel expert and author La Carmina, slow travel allows people to stop and smell the roses-quite directly. “It’s about being fully present in the moment and experiencing the sights, sounds and sensations (感觉) around you completely “letting the experience develop at its own speed and without expectations,” she said. “To me, slow travel doesn’t have a strict definition or certain things to do, but rather focuses on the feeling of being a visitor to a place.”
Slow travel is becoming more and more popular now, because it can do good to us in many ways.
24．Why are people tired when they return from their vacation
A．They have no place to rest.
B．They are on a busy schedule when traveling.
C．They travel to some places far away.
D．They feel quite excited and enjoy their trip fully.
25．What does La Carmina think of slow travel
A．It can let travelers experience the place deeply.
B．It can make travelers save a lot of money.
C．It can allow travelers to explore more places.
D．It can save travelers much more time.
26．What might the author continue talking about
A．Other ways of travel.
B．The definition of slow travel.
C．The proper places for slow travel.
D．The advantages of slow travel.
27．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the text
A．Life. B．Society. C．Sports. D．Education.

In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices.
The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign if can’t rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from puting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions.
The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process.
Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads.
“Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision.
28．What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2
A．Solve uncertain matters.
B．Summarize a key principle.
C．Concentrate on related things.
D．Make decisions independently.
29．Why is the book a practical guide to readers
A．To provide readers with life values.
B．To help readers express philosophy.
C．To improve readers’ critical thinking skills.
D．To equip readers with decision-making skills.
30．What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A．Definition of simplicity. B．Rules of making decisions.
C．Benefits of stressing clarity. D．Influences of decision-making.
31．What is the article aimed at
A．Recommending a book. B．Sharing a positive attitude.
C．Describing a simple lifestyle D．Solving philosophical problems.

New research by scientists at the University of Bristol explains how a “stop－start” pattern of evolution,governed by environmental change,could explain why crocodiles (鳄鱼) have changed so little since the age of the dinosaurs.
Crocodiles today look very similar to ones from 200 million years ago. There are also very few species alive today—just 25. Other animals such as lizards and birds have achieved a diversity of many thousands of species in the same amount of time. Prehistory also saw types of crocodile we don’t see today,including giants as big as dinosaurs,plant－eaters,fast runners and snakelike forms that lived in the sea.
The rate of their evolution is generally slow,but occasionally they evolve more apace because the environment has changed. In particular,this new research suggests that their evolution speeds up when the climate is warmer,and that their body size increases.
Lead author Dr. Max Stockdale said,“Our analysis used a machine learning algorithm (算法) to estimate rates of evolution. Evolutionary rate is the amount of change that has taken place over a given amount of time,which we can work out by comparing measurements from fossils and taking into account how old they are. For our study we measured body size,which is important because it interacts with how fast animals grow,how much food they need,how big their populations are and how likely they are to die out.”
The findings show that the limited diversity of crocodiles and their apparent lack of evolution result from a slow evolutionary rate. It seems the crocodiles arrived with an already efficient and versatile (多功能的) body plan that doesn’t require changes. This versatility could be one explanation why crocodiles survived the meteor (流星) impact at the end of the Cretaceous period,in which the dinosaurs died out. Crocodiles generally develop better in warm conditions because they cannot control their body temperature and require warmth from the environment.
32．What do we know about prehistoric crocodiles
A．They fed mainly on plants and lived in the ocean.
B．They evolved much faster than contemporary birds.
C．They were more diverse in species than present crocodiles.
D．They differed greatly in appearance from present crocodiles.
33．What does the underlined word “apace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Naturally. B．Steadily.
C．Separately. D．Quickly.
34．The body size of a crocodile has an effect on its ________.
A．growth rate B．food choice
C．length of life D．speed of evolution
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．What determines crocodiles’ body size
B．Why crocodiles have changed so little
C．How crocodiles have evolved since their existence
D．What effects climate has on the evolution of crocodiles

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. 36
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. 37 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. 38 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. 39
So, good and close relationships are good for our health and well-being. 40 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
A．These people’s memories stay sharper and longer.
B．We’ve learned three big lessons about relationships.
C．That is to say, the good life is built with good relationships.
D．What’s more, they’re physically healthier, and they live longer.
E．It turns out that living in the conflict is really bad for our health.
F．They will surprisingly find that this relationship cause mental decline.
G．People living in loneliness are either in sorrow or terrible health condition.

Recently, videos 56 (show) bees in a plastic box drop from the air the moment lights are turned off have circulated (流传) on the Internet. Most people take 57 for granted that for those bees dropping is more dangerous than keeping flying. However, it's not true. One theory could link to how bees use the sun's position to guide their way back, so once the sun sets, they immediately stop moving. 58 theory suggests it is a prey (猎物) response, 59 shade from a large predator (捕食者) above them resulting in bees dropping from the air and falling to the ground, where they would have less chance of being spotted.
Either way, such strange behavior of bees is 60 (fascinate) to look at. Some bees have adapted to flying at night, 61 (possible) as there is less competition from other 62 (insect). However, 63 bees can see in the dark depends on how “night” and “dark” 64 (understand), as some animals can see at night because they have eyes 65 (accustom) to low lighting, while dark can mean a total absence of light.

Tom Hankins, 88, stood by the living room window, looking out of the window. It was a beautiful and sunny day in Florida. Tom stopped socializing altogether six years ago after his wife. Meredith, died of cancer. He had all of his time to himself, reading books, watching TV and occasionally experimenting with new cooking recipes on social media platform.
With time. Tom realized he didn’t particularly like being alone. His only son, Aiden, was a successful analyst (分析师) in a big IT firm in New York City, and Tom wanted Aiden to visit him, but the young man kept putting it off.
Suddenly, Tom noticed that the rubbish bags were left outside instead of inside the bin (垃圾桶). Thinking it would relieve his boredom, Tom went to the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. When he was done, he noticed that nearly every family in the area had left their rubbish bags outside the bins.
Tom knew it would be difficult to clean up the rubbish in front of all the houses in the hot weather, but he couldn’t just see the rubbish bags left like that. He took a big rubbish bag from his backyard and decided to move from one house to the next, clearing up the litter.
Tom stopped right in front of the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. But he hadn’t even left when a man came with a rubbish bag and simply dropped it on the road. To make matters worse, he didn’t even secure the bag properly, so the wind blew part of the rubbish onto the street.
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。
At that point, Tom lost his cool.

【原文】
W: A healthy newborn girl was discovered in Central Park yesterday morning. The baby was abandoned on the top of a rock shortly before dawn after the mother gave birth to her there. The police said that the baby was healthy and weighed 7 pounds. Now they were searching for the mother. A policeman said that they had never had anything like this before. They really didn’t get babies left in the park. But they were just happy the baby was all right. The police rushed the baby to a nearby hospital. Fortunately she was OK. The police believed the baby was born less than half an hour before she was discovered. They also believed judging from the amount of blood found on the rock, that the mother might have given birth there. Detectives were investigating whether the mother was a homeless woman who called a baby rescue hotline early yesterday. The head of Hope Foundation said that his hotline received a call at about 5:30 am from a young homeless woman in Manhattan. The caller asked, “How do I get rid of my baby ” Then she was told to go to either a hospital or a fire station. But the woman was afraid she would be recognized there. The head also said that the woman wouldn’t even tell him where he could possibly meet her since they had two teams that could help with the delivery, if necessary.

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的旅行方式——慢旅行，这种旅行方式不会那么累，而且还能更好地感受当地的文化。
24．推理判断题。根据文章第二段““I’ve heard countless times how tired people are when they come back from their vacation and feel like they ‘ need a vacation from their vacation,’ and that’s because many times we pack so much into a very short time,” said travel blogger Esther Susag. “We want to see everything, do everything, and not waste a minute.(旅游博主Esther Susag说：“我无数次听到人们度假回来后有多累，觉得‘假期结束后需要度个假’，这是因为很多时候我们在很短的时间内塞了太多东西。我们想看所有的东西，做所有的事情，不要浪费一分钟。”)”可知，人们度假后觉得累是因为我们旅行的时候想看所有的东西，做所有的事情，行程安排过紧。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“For travel expert and author La Carmina, slow travel allows people to stop and smell thet roses-quite directly. “It’s about being fully present in the moment and experiencing the sights, sounds and sensations (感觉) around you completely “letting the experience develop at its own speed and without expectations,” she said.(对于旅游专家兼作家La Carmina来说，慢速旅行可以让人们停下来，直接闻一闻玫瑰的芬芳。她说：“这是关于完全活在当下，完全体验你周围的景象、声音和感觉，让体验按照自己的速度发展，不带任何期望。”)”可知，La Carmina认为慢旅行可以让人们能够完全体验你周围的景象、声音和感觉，也就是深入体验一个地方。故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Slow travel is becoming more and more popular now, because it can do good to us in many ways.(慢旅行现在变得越来越流行，因为它可以在很多方面对我们有好处。)”可知，作者接下来将会继续讨论慢旅行的好处。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In the rush of day-to-day life, we don’t always have the time to slow down and move at our own speed. Even on vacation, we always try to visit, do and taste as many things as possible in a new place or many places.(在匆忙的日常生活中，我们并不总是有时间放慢脚步，以自己的速度前进。即使在度假时，我们也总是尝试在一个新的地方或许多地方参观、做和品尝尽可能多的东西。)”以及第三段“There is, however, another method that many experienced travelers suggest: slow travel. But what exactly is slow travel, and how do you take full advantage of this kind of trip Below, travel experts break it down.(然而，许多有经验的旅行者建议还有另一种方法：慢旅行。但究竟什么是慢旅行，如何充分利用这种旅行呢？下面，旅游专家对其进行了分析。)”可知，文章主要介绍了慢旅行的相关内容，和我们的生活相关。由此推知，我们很有可能在报纸的“生活”版面读到这篇文章。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》这本可以增强读者决策力的书。
28．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions. (书中强调的另一条规则是决策的简单性。通过采用简化，决策者获取关键信息，关注最相关的因素，避免不必要的方面，从而更快地判断和更快地得出结论。)”可知，这本书建议读者专注于相关的事情。故选C。
29．推理判断题。由文章第三段“The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process. (这本书是提高决策能力的实用指南。作者不仅表达了哲学，还为读者提供了有效应用所需要的工具。从优先处理任务的技巧到避免分心的方法，这本书提供了简化决策过程的技巧。)”可知，这本书提供了使读者具备决策能力的有效工具，所以是读者的实用指南。故选D。
30．主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads. (通过个人经历，马伦确定了简化的力量，引导人们根据自己的价值观和欲望做出决定。除了个人背景，这本书也影响商业战略，关系动态，和社会的考虑。马伦不仅探讨了“是就是是”的本质，还强调了在十字路口做出明确决定的重要性。)”可知，本段主要陈述了强调清晰（简化）的好处。故选C。
31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段““Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision. (《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》不仅仅是一本书；这是一种可以改变我们做决定方式的哲学。对于那些寻求用清晰和目标来引导生活的人来说，这本书是在迷茫中指引方向的明灯。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是推荐《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》这本书。故选A。
32．C 33．D 34．A 35．B
【导语】本文是说明文。现在的鳄鱼跟两亿年前的鳄鱼看上去非常相似，是什么原因导致鳄鱼在两亿年间变化如此之小呢
32．推理判断题。根据第二段“There are also very few species alive today—just 25. Other animals such as lizards and birds have achieved a diversity of many thousands of species in the same amount of time. Prehistory also saw types of crocodile we don’t see today(现在存活的种类也很少，只有25种。其他动物，如蜥蜴和鸟类，在同样的时间内也有成千上万个物种的多样性。史前时期也有我们今天看不到的鳄鱼)”可知，现存的鳄鱼物种很少，只有25种，史前时期有很多我们今天看不到的鳄鱼。由此可以推断，史前时期的鳄鱼比现在的鳄鱼种类更多样化。故选C。
33．词义猜测题。根据第三段“The rate of their evolution is generally slow(它们的进化速度通常是缓慢的)”由but表示转折可知，鳄鱼的进化速度通常很慢，但有时因为环境的改变，它们的进化也会加速。由此可以猜测，画线词意为“迅速地”。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段的“For our study we measured body size，which is important because it interacts with how fast animals grow(在我们的研究中，我们测量了身体大小，这很重要，因为它与动物的生长速度相互作用)”可知，鳄鱼的体型会影响它的生长速度。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是根据文章第一段“New research by scientists at the University of Bristol explains how a “stop－start” pattern of evolution,governed by environmental change,could explain why crocodiles (鳄鱼) have changed so little since the age of the dinosaurs.(布里斯托尔大学的科学家们进行的一项新研究解释了由环境变化控制的“启停”进化模式如何解释了为什么自恐龙时代以来鳄鱼的变化如此之小。)”可知，本文主要介绍了鳄鱼在两亿年间变化如此之小的原因。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主题语境是人与社会。文章从一个方面阐释了好的社会关系让我们健康快乐。第一，社会关系让我们更快乐、身体更好。第二，良好的社会关系才能产生益处。第三，良好的社会关系不仅保护身体，还能保护大脑。所以，我们应该考虑一个问题：我们应该把时间和精力投资在何处？
36．根据第二段的“The first is that social connections are really good for us（第一，社会关系对我们真的很好）”，第三段“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（因此，我们学到的第二个重要事情是，重要的不仅仅是你有多少朋友，也不是你是否处于一段忠诚的关系中，而是你亲密关系的质量）”，第四段的“And the third big lesson that we learned about relationships is that good relationships don’t just protect our bodies, they protect our brains（我们从人际关系中学到的第三个重要事情是，良好的人际关系不仅能保护我们的身体，还能保护我们的大脑）”可知，下文要从三个方面来阐释社会关系。B选项中“three big lessons”与之相对应，故选B项。
37．根据上文“It turns out that people who are more socially connected to others are happier（事实证明，与他人社会关系更密切的人更幸福）”和后文“On the contrary, the experience of loneliness turns out to be harmful（相反，孤独的经历是有害的）”可知，前后内容相反，该空处应该进一步说明，有更多社会联系的好处。故选D项。
38．根据后一句“High-conflict marriages, for example, without much love, turn out to be very bad for our health（例如，没有太多爱的高冲突婚姻对我们的健康非常不利）”可知，在举例子说明，生活中的冲突对我们的健康不好，E选项“living in the conflict is really bad for our health”与之相符，故选E项。
39．根据上文“It turns out that being in a securely attached relationship is protective（处在安稳的关系中对人是有保护作用的）”和“Many people are in relationships where they can get help from the other persons in times of need（许多人处于一种关系中，他们可以在需要时从其他人那里获得帮助）可知，A选项的“These people”就是代指上文的“many people”，A选项的“memories stay sharper and longer”又和本段的“that good relationships don’t just protect our bodies, they protect our brains”中的“protect our brains”相呼应。故选A项。
40．根据该空的前一句话“So, good and close relationships are good for our health and well-being（因此，良好而亲密的关系有利于我们的健康和幸福）”可知，C项是对上一句话的总结和深化。C选项中的“good relationships”与之相对应，故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了蜜蜂会在黑暗中突然坠落的原因。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：最近，互联网上流传着一段视频，视频显示，关灯的那一刻，塑料盒子里的蜜蜂从空中掉了下来。分析句子结构可知，空处需要非谓语动词作定语，修饰前面的名词。该动词和修饰的名词之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填showing。
57．考查形式宾语。句意：大多数人想当然地认为，对于那些蜜蜂来说，降落比继续飞行更危险。固定句型take it for granted that...“认为...是理所当然的”。it为形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的that从句。故填it。
58．考查代词。句意：另一种理论认为，这是猎物的反应，因为它们上方有大型捕食者的遮蔽，导致蜜蜂从空中掉到地上，在那里它们被发现的机会较小。根据前面的one theory可知，空处需要another“另一个”。one...another...“一个...另外一个...”。故填Another。
59．考查介词。句意：另一种理论认为，这是猎物的反应，因为它们上方有大型捕食者的遮蔽，导致蜜蜂从空中掉到地上，在那里它们被发现的机会较小。分析句子结构可知，空处需要with构成“with +名词+介词短语”的复合结构，在句中作状语。故填with。
60．考查形容词。句意：不管怎样，蜜蜂这种奇怪的行为都很吸引人。一些蜜蜂已经适应了夜间飞行，可能是因为与其他昆虫的竞争较少。空处需要形容词作表语。fascinate为动词，其形容词形式为fascinating“迷人的”。故填fascinating。
61．考查副词。句意：不管怎样，蜜蜂这种奇怪的行为都很吸引人。一些蜜蜂已经适应了夜间飞行，可能是因为与其他昆虫的竞争较少。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰后面的句子，所以需要副词。故填possibly。
62．考查可数名词复数形式。句意：不管怎样，蜜蜂这种奇怪的行为都很吸引人。一些蜜蜂已经适应了夜间飞行，可能是因为与其他昆虫的竞争较少。根据空前的other可知，空处需要该名词的复数形式，表示“其它的一些昆虫”。故填insects。
63．考查主语从句。句意：然而，蜜蜂是否能在黑暗中看到取决于如何理解“夜晚”和“黑暗”，因为一些动物在夜间能看到，因为它们的眼睛习惯于低光，而黑暗可能意味着完全没有光。分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句。主语从句中句子成分完整，但是根据语境可知，缺少“是否”的意思，所以用whether引导主语从句。故填whether。
64．考查时态语态。句意：然而，蜜蜂是否能在黑暗中看到取决于如何理解“夜晚”和“黑暗”，因为一些动物在夜间能看到，因为它们的眼睛习惯于低光，而黑暗可能意味着完全没有光。分析句子结构可知，空处为从句中的谓语动词。句子描述一般事实，用一般现在时态。该动词和主语之间为动宾关系。所以该句子为一般现在时态的被动语态，主语为““night” and “dark””，谓语用复数。故填are understood。
65．考查形容词。句意：然而，蜜蜂是否能在黑暗中看到取决于如何理解“夜晚”和“黑暗”，因为一些动物在夜间能看到，因为它们的眼睛习惯于低光，而黑暗可能意味着完全没有光。根据句意分析句子可知，空格处应该用形容词作后置定语，修饰前面的名词eyes，且意义为“习惯的”，所以应该用形容词accustomed。故填accustomed。

67．范文
At that point, Tom lost his cool. “What on earth are you doing Can’t you see I’m trying to clean up here ” he shouted at the man. The man looked at him, surprised, and then shrugged his shoulders. “It’s not my job to clean up the rubbish. I pay my taxes, and the city should take care of it,” he said and walked away. Tom was furious. He couldn’t believe how selfish some people could be.
While continuing to clear the rubbish, he noticed a young boy joined him. “Hello, Mr. Hankins. I saw what you were doing, and I thought I’d help you,” the boy said. Tom looked at him, surprised and grateful. “Thank you, young man. That’s very kind of you,” he said. Together, they worked hard to clean up the rubbish. When they were done, Tom felt a sense of satisfaction. He realized that even though there were selfish people in the world, there were also kind and caring ones.
