Take a Trip to Alaska's Distant Aleutian Islands
Natural landscapes
Halfway between the United States and Japan is Alaska's Adak Island. It is one of the remote Aleutian islands. It is a place best known for its natural beauty. The coast is home to rich wildlife. Purple lupine flowers can be seen along roads through grassy hills. Hot springs cover the landscape. Snow－topped mountains and the Great Sitkin volcano rise in the distance.
Locals
Adak Island is home to the native Aleut people. In town, fewer than 100 people live fulltime in old military houses. These houses sit in mostly empty neighborhoods with other buildings in need of repair.
Activities
It is not easy to get to Adak Island. It requires a four－hour plane trip from Anchorage. People visit Adak to hunt, watch birds, climb mountains, or examine one of the many abandoned military bases. People also come to hike. There are many beautiful hikes on the island. One at Finger Bay offers views of the volcano. A hike to Lake Bonnie Rose includes an old abandoned military building built into hills.
At Horseshoe Bay, brave people can climb down a rope to the coast below and nearby hot springs. At Clam Lagoon, people can watch harbor seals and sea lions playing in the water and warming themselves on the rocks.
For bird watchers, the area is wonderful. And Adak's strange “National Forest” is also worth a visit. This is a small collection of evergreen trees in an otherwise nearly treeless landscape.
Charge for 8 days
The single price: $1，400 per person
The group price: $1，200 per person (over 2 persons)
Accommodation and train tickets included

Raj Patel was 5, traveling with his family to India from England. A young girl, no older than 12, approached their car, carrying a crying baby, begging for money and food. “My parents embarrassingly pushed some money out to her from the window，” Patel says. “Since then, the journey has been to figure out why this stuff happens.”
Upon returning to England, Patel decided to rent out his toys and raise money to stop hunger. It didn't take him long to realize his attempts would not fix the problem. While attending Oxford University, Patel had an idea to shift his major to mathematics, believing that mathematics could handle the crisis of hunger and poverty (贫困). But as he dived deeper into the topic, he learned the political and systemic side of the story. So he changed his undergraduate degree back to economics and added the study of philosophy and politics to his pursuits (事业).
After graduation, he worked for the World Bank and the United Nations. But even that, he says, didn't lead to workable solutions (解决方案).
His first book，Stuffed and Starved, was a breakout work written for a general audience. While living in Africa, Patel created a number of documentaries but none gained much popularity until he met Anita Chitaya, an activist in Bwabwa, a remote village in Malawi. Anita works with a local organization that has fought hunger in Malawi for decades. She helps farmers to experiment with crops to grow more nutritious food. Her story evolved into an 11-year project—The Ants & the Grasshopper, which earned the Moving Mountains Award.
As the decade of research, filming and editing carries on, this drought-stricken village goes from being self-sufficient through sustainable farming practices to struggling to grow enough nutritious food and access clean, drinkable water. Climate change ended up being another part of the story.
Patel knows that he needs to find other ways to reach audiences. He released a widely shared YouTube video about capitalism, chicken nuggets (鸡块) and the global hunger crisis. He's given 20-minute TED Talks that summarize the intentions of his books. No matter what gets thrown his way, Patel seems to course-correct in order to continue pursuing his mission.
24．What excited Patel's pursuit of his career
A．A beggar-led crowd.
B．A fund-raising event.
C．A chance encounter with a needy girl.
D．A narrow escape from a car accident.
25．Why did Patel shift his major to mathematics
A．He felt he was good at it.
B.He disliked boring economic theories.
C.He was eager to learn its political and systemic side.
D.He considered it as a solution to the hunger and poverty crisis.
26．What is The Ants & the Grasshopper mainly about
A．Anita's journey to tackle food crisis.
B．Causes of climate change in Malawi.
C．Bwabwa's remarkable transformation.
D．Patel's personal experience in Bwabwa.
27．What did Patel do to attract more attention to global hunger
A．He shot funny videos.
B．He made presentations.
C．He cut the price of his books.
D．He conducted collaborative research.

A humanoid robot can relay video and touch sensations to a person wearing a haptic (触觉内) feedback suit and a virtual reality (VR) headset hundreds of kilometres away, offering a way for people to attend events without travelling.
The iCub3 robot is a 52-kilogram, 125-centimetre-tall robot with 54 joints across its body. Its head contains two cameras where a human's eyes would be, and an Internet-connected computer where the brain would go. Along with the cameras, sensors covering its body send data to the robot's “brain”. These sensations are then reproduced on a suit and VR headset worn by a remote human operator.
When the operators react to what they see and feel, the suit's sensors pick up the movements and the robot matches them. “The key is to translate every signal and bit of digital data that can be sent through the network.” says Stefano Dafarra, who was part of the iCub3 team. There can be a small delay of up to 100 milliseconds to capture and transmit the visual shots, but the operator can ease this by moving slightly slower than normal.
The team demonstrated the robot at the Venice Biennale, where it wandered through an exhibition while its operator stood 290 kilometres away in Genoa. Dafarra hopes people will use the iCub3 to attend events remotely, reducing the need to travel. “But at present, a fall could be hugely damaging to the robot, and it's uncertain whether it could stand up again on its own，” he says.
“iCub3 is an interesting robot and offers clear advantages from the previous versions.” says Jonathan Aitken, whose laboratory owns a prior version of the robot. However, he is disappointed that the team wasn't clear in its research about the data transmission requirements of the new version of the robot. “It would be good to know just how much data was required, and what the upper and lower bounds were.” he says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个人形机器人可以将视频和触觉传递给数百公里外穿着触觉反馈服和戴着虚拟现实耳机的人，让人们无需旅行就能参加活动。这项技术可能应用于虚拟旅游，但是仍有不足，需要改进。
28．What's the principle behind the humanoid robot
A．It conveys sensations to the wearer and acts accordingly.
B.It receives commands from an operator through the Internet.
C．The cameras take pictures and then interact with the sensors.
D．The computer in the robot processes the data and gives orders.
29．Which aspect of life may the technology be applied to
A．Medical consultation.
B．Sports events.
C．Outdoor workouts.
D．Virtual tourism.
30．What can we infer about iCub3 from the text
A．It fails to appeal to potential investors.
B．Its performance hasn't been evaluated clearly.
C．Its present version still requires to be updated.
D．Its transmission of data came across technical problems.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Humanoid Robots with Sense of Touch Catch on
B．iCub3 Robot Combines with VR to Benefit More People
C．Humanoid Robots Let People See and Feel Things Remotely
D．New Advances in Technology Enable People to Travel at Work
D
As Geoffrey Hinton, widely seen as the godfather of artificial intelligence, warns about growing dangers from how it is developing, businesses are scrambling to see how they can use the technology to their advantage.
Recently, the hot topic is how to employ ChatGPT style technology across their businesses as quickly as possible. A boss looked at his computer, entered the transcript of a customer complaint call, and asked ChatGPT to respond to it based on set of rules. In about a minute it came up with a very credible answer, which was 85% accurate but only cost 1% of the cost of employing staff. The good news for all is the pure enhancement to productivity．
Technology has improved the quality of life. A lot of innovation has made our entertainment time more enjoyable. But the real shock has been that these technologies are usable in a commercial context, not just for “low-cognitive, repetitive” tasks，i. e. robotic-tasks likely to be automated.
The surprise has been how employable the technology is to highly creative, high-value work. Specifically, creating an image, or music, or coding a programme can be achieved in seconds rather than weeks of briefing and refining. So the good news is that rapid employment of this technology could solve the longstanding productivity crisis. The bad news is that it could occur so rapidly as to overtake workers' ability to adapt in time, creating social crisis. Could we face in call centers and creative studios in the 2020s, the equivalent of what happened in the coal mines in the 1980s
Some individuals have started to suggest that states should provide a basic income due to the possibility of AI leading to job loss. The response of tech enthusiasts is that “You won't be replaced by an AI, but you might be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI”. But they used to say that's why everybody should learn how to code. That might not be such wise career advice any more.
32．What do we learn about ChatGPT
A．It improves customers' satisfaction.
B．It enhances productivity and reduces cost.
C．It perfects customers' ability to summarize.
D．It revolutionizes the business with accuracy.
33．How has technology influenced individuals
A．By enriching leisure time.
B．By increasing dependence.
C．By simplifying people's work.
D．By reshaping entertainment forms.
34．What does the underlined word “equivalent” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Alternative. B．Opposite.
C．Similarity. D．Reference.
35．What is the author's attitude towards the application of AI
A．Intolerant. B．Favorable.
C．Indifferent. D．Objective.

Here are some ways you can change your inner thoughts to stop stress having an effect on your mental and physical health.
Exercise
Exercise can be used as a tool to enable you to deal with stress. The feel-good chemicals released (释放) by the brain when you exercise give a sense of well-being and calm. __36__ You can then face any trouble in your life with more confidence.
Keep a journal
__37__ You can keep a diary to write down your thoughts and record successes you are thankful for. This will make sure the positive things are more important in your mind. This can remind you that whatever stress there is, good things are still happening to you and you're still progressing and succeeding in life.
Connect with others
Having some people who support you helps you to feel calm. When you meet with difficulties, there are people who will have your back. You feel much less stressed when you have friends and family on your side. Build your support network by giving to others when they need you.__38__
Improve your sleep
Tiredness, the inability to think straight and sleep deprivation (缺乏) make you feel stressed. Improving sleep quality itself does a lot in reducing stress. __39__ You can also try practicing breathing and relaxation. Keep your bedroom as a cool and calm place.
Prioritize yourself
Make sure you are giving yourself some time in your week. __40__ Schedule “me time” and time to practice self-care. Spare time to do what you enjoy and find fun. It's necessary to help you feel strong and able to deal with stress.
A．Be really strict with work-life dividing line.
B．Don't be afraid to ask for the same in return.
C．It's of great importance to choose someone you trust.
D．Put aside some screen-free time before going to bed.

On a spring day last year, I stood in the back of the cafeteria at the middle school where I worked.

As the teacher held up hats, gloves and backpacks, my mind __45__—as it often did—to my 24-year-old son, Jake. He was serving in a voluntary program in South Africa. I hadn't seen him in more than a year, but we were __46__ him home in just a few days. It __47__ seemed real, and I couldn't wait to have him in my arms.
My __48__ was drawn back to the teacher onstage. “There's just one more，” she called out. She pulled back the stage __49__. “Who does this belong to？” Jake was standing there wearing a(n) __50__ smile and holding a bunch of flowers. I tried __51__ to hold back the tears as he hurried toward me. The students __52__ and cheered. I threw my arms around him, more __53__ than amazed. “You're here，” I said in a trembling voice. “I can't believe you're here.”
I hadn't missed the announcement. Jake had __54__ the whole thing with the school just to __55__ me. It was a homecoming I'd never forget.

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。
Avoiding people in a small town requires the skills of a spy.So Brad Ryan moved like a ghost, taking precautions to stay far away from the woman who he thought had broken his heart. He had not seen or spoken to Grandma Joy for six years.
One day, he received a call from his mom, saying his elder sister had announced her engagement and a wedding date had been set for a Duncan Falls church. Brad's heart sank, because Grandma Joy would be there. But he loved his sister, and there was no way he'd miss the wedding.
Despite Joy Ryan's first name, there were lots of sufferings and regrets instead of joy in her life. She grew up in a home with no electricity, running water or plumbing. She attended a one-room schoolhouse. And she suffered the loss of two sons. She was a widow (寡妇) for 14 years. She lived a small life that stopped at the edge of the county line. And she'd never had the chance to see what she called the great outdoors other than a trip to see relatives in Louisiana.
“My earliest memory of her is when I was 3.” said Brad. “We'd walk to Blue Rock State Park, which is close in her house. She'd help me lift rocks in the creek (小溪) to find crawfish. We'd hold them in our hands and talk about how beautiful it was being in nature. No one in my family thought like that.”
However, as Brad entered adolescence, he was growing emotionally distant from his family, with occasional quarrels. One day, a violent conflict broke out between Brad and his father. Brad turned to his grandma, hoping for help or just a kind word. But he got neither. He found Grandma Joy was in his father's side. “That was the end of my relationship with Grandma Joy.” he said.
At the wedding venue, on seeing Grandma Joy, thin and gaunt (憔悴的). Brad found himself thinking a lot about her and the happy time they spent together. It puzzled him why that memory in particular stayed with him. Now grandma, 78, walked unsteadily into the Duncan Falls church.
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。
Brad hesitantly walked over to her.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After that day, Brad decided not to leave any regrets in his grandma's life.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________单元素养评价(一)UNIT 1 SCIENCE FICTION

Well, I remember the first time I went abroad. I was eleven years old at the time，and we had a school trip to Paris. We took a coach to London airport to catch the plane，and it was about a three-hour drive, down the motorway, and about halfway we stopped at a service station and had lunch. And then we got back on the coach and continued our journey to the airport and when we were nearly at the airport, the teacher suddenly remembered she had left our passports in the service station. So we went all the way back there. Finally, we got on the plane, and arrived in Paris. After we got to Paris, I bought some cream cakes. They were so good that I ate five cream cakes... and I was sick. Then I didn't get out of bed for three days... I was so ill.

第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Take a Trip to Alaska's Distant Aleutian Islands
Natural landscapes
Halfway between the United States and Japan is Alaska's Adak Island. It is one of the remote Aleutian islands. It is a place best known for its natural beauty. The coast is home to rich wildlife. Purple lupine flowers can be seen along roads through grassy hills. Hot springs cover the landscape. Snow－topped mountains and the Great Sitkin volcano rise in the distance.
Locals
Adak Island is home to the native Aleut people. In town, fewer than 100 people live fulltime in old military houses. These houses sit in mostly empty neighborhoods with other buildings in need of repair.
Activities
It is not easy to get to Adak Island. It requires a four－hour plane trip from Anchorage. People visit Adak to hunt, watch birds, climb mountains, or examine one of the many abandoned military bases. People also come to hike. There are many beautiful hikes on the island. One at Finger Bay offers views of the volcano. A hike to Lake Bonnie Rose includes an old abandoned military building built into hills.
At Horseshoe Bay, brave people can climb down a rope to the coast below and nearby hot springs. At Clam Lagoon, people can watch harbor seals and sea lions playing in the water and warming themselves on the rocks.
For bird watchers, the area is wonderful. And Adak's strange “National Forest” is also worth a visit. This is a small collection of evergreen trees in an otherwise nearly treeless landscape.
Charge for 8 days

Raj Patel was 5, traveling with his family to India from England. A young girl, no older than 12, approached their car, carrying a crying baby, begging for money and food. “My parents embarrassingly pushed some money out to her from the window，” Patel says. “Since then, the journey has been to figure out why this stuff happens.”
Upon returning to England, Patel decided to rent out his toys and raise money to stop hunger. It didn't take him long to realize his attempts would not fix the problem. While attending Oxford University, Patel had an idea to shift his major to mathematics, believing that mathematics could handle the crisis of hunger and poverty (贫困). But as he dived deeper into the topic, he learned the political and systemic side of the story. So he changed his undergraduate degree back to economics and added the study of philosophy and politics to his pursuits (事业).
After graduation, he worked for the World Bank and the United Nations. But even that, he says, didn't lead to workable solutions (解决方案).
His first book，Stuffed and Starved, was a breakout work written for a general audience. While living in Africa, Patel created a number of documentaries but none gained much popularity until he met Anita Chitaya, an activist in Bwabwa, a remote village in Malawi. Anita works with a local organization that has fought hunger in Malawi for decades. She helps farmers to experiment with crops to grow more nutritious food. Her story evolved into an 11-year project—The Ants & the Grasshopper, which earned the Moving Mountains Award.
As the decade of research, filming and editing carries on, this drought-stricken village goes from being self-sufficient through sustainable farming practices to struggling to grow enough nutritious food and access clean, drinkable water. Climate change ended up being another part of the story.
Patel knows that he needs to find other ways to reach audiences. He released a widely shared YouTube video about capitalism, chicken nuggets (鸡块) and the global hunger crisis. He's given 20-minute TED Talks that summarize the intentions of his books. No matter what gets thrown his way, Patel seems to course-correct in order to continue pursuing his mission.

A humanoid robot can relay video and touch sensations to a person wearing a haptic (触觉内) feedback suit and a virtual reality (VR) headset hundreds of kilometres away, offering a way for people to attend events without travelling.
The iCub3 robot is a 52-kilogram, 125-centimetre-tall robot with 54 joints across its body. Its head contains two cameras where a human's eyes would be, and an Internet-connected computer where the brain would go. Along with the cameras, sensors covering its body send data to the robot's “brain”. These sensations are then reproduced on a suit and VR headset worn by a remote human operator.
When the operators react to what they see and feel, the suit's sensors pick up the movements and the robot matches them. “The key is to translate every signal and bit of digital data that can be sent through the network.” says Stefano Dafarra, who was part of the iCub3 team. There can be a small delay of up to 100 milliseconds to capture and transmit the visual shots, but the operator can ease this by moving slightly slower than normal.
The team demonstrated the robot at the Venice Biennale, where it wandered through an exhibition while its operator stood 290 kilometres away in Genoa. Dafarra hopes people will use the iCub3 to attend events remotely, reducing the need to travel. “But at present, a fall could be hugely damaging to the robot, and it's uncertain whether it could stand up again on its own，” he says.
“iCub3 is an interesting robot and offers clear advantages from the previous versions.” says Jonathan Aitken, whose laboratory owns a prior version of the robot. However, he is disappointed that the team wasn't clear in its research about the data transmission requirements of the new version of the robot. “It would be good to know just how much data was required, and what the upper and lower bounds were.” he says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个人形机器人可以将视频和触觉传递给数百公里外穿着触觉反馈服和戴着虚拟现实耳机的人，让人们无需旅行就能参加活动。这项技术可能应用于虚拟旅游，但是仍有不足，需要改进。

As Geoffrey Hinton, widely seen as the godfather of artificial intelligence, warns about growing dangers from how it is developing, businesses are scrambling to see how they can use the technology to their advantage.
Recently, the hot topic is how to employ ChatGPT style technology across their businesses as quickly as possible. A boss looked at his computer, entered the transcript of a customer complaint call, and asked ChatGPT to respond to it based on set of rules. In about a minute it came up with a very credible answer, which was 85% accurate but only cost 1% of the cost of employing staff. The good news for all is the pure enhancement to productivity．
Technology has improved the quality of life. A lot of innovation has made our entertainment time more enjoyable. But the real shock has been that these technologies are usable in a commercial context, not just for “low-cognitive, repetitive” tasks，i. e. robotic-tasks likely to be automated.
The surprise has been how employable the technology is to highly creative, high-value work. Specifically, creating an image, or music, or coding a programme can be achieved in seconds rather than weeks of briefing and refining. So the good news is that rapid employment of this technology could solve the longstanding productivity crisis. The bad news is that it could occur so rapidly as to overtake workers' ability to adapt in time, creating social crisis. Could we face in call centers and creative studios in the 2020s, the equivalent of what happened in the coal mines in the 1980s
Some individuals have started to suggest that states should provide a basic income due to the possibility of AI leading to job loss. The response of tech enthusiasts is that “You won't be replaced by an AI, but you might be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI”. But they used to say that's why everybody should learn how to code. That might not be such wise career advice any more.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被广泛视为人工智能教父的杰弗里·辛顿(Geoffrey Hinton)警告称，人工智能的发展方式带来的危险越来越大，企业正在争先恐后地寻找如何利用这项技术为自己服务。
32．What do we learn about ChatGPT
A．It improves customers' satisfaction.
B．It enhances productivity and reduces cost.
C．It perfects customers' ability to summarize.
D．It revolutionizes the business with accuracy.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“A boss looked at his computer, entered the transcript of a customer complaint call, and asked ChatGPT to respond to it based on set of rules. In about a minute it came up with a very credible answer, which was 85% accurate but only cost 1% of the cost of employing staff. The good news for all is the pure enhancement to productivity.”可知，关于ChatGPT我们知道，它提高了生产率，降低了成本。
33．How has technology influenced individuals
A．By enriching leisure time.
B．By increasing dependence.
C．By simplifying people's work.
D．By reshaping entertainment forms.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“Technology has improved the quality of life. A lot of innovation has made our entertainment time more enjoyable.”可知，科技是通过丰富闲暇时间来影响个人的。
34．What does the underlined word “equivalent” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Alternative. B．Opposite.
C．Similarity. D．Reference.
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中“The bad news is that it could occur so rapidly as to overtake workers' ability to adapt in time, creating social crisis.”以及画线单词句中“Could we face in call centers and creative studios in the 2020s，...what happened in the coal mines in the 1980s？”可推知，人工智能的发展可能会造成社会危机，画线词所在句应该讲述不好的事情，此处为我们会在呼叫中心和创意工作室面临类似于20世纪80年代煤矿发生的事情吗？故可猜测，画线单词equivalent为“类似”的意思。
35．What is the author's attitude towards the application of AI
A．Intolerant. B．Favorable.
C．Indifferent. D．Objective.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，对人工智能的应用，作者并未有明确或褒或贬的个人观点，可得出作者对人工智能持客观的态度。

With the development of science and technology, something has been used in every aspect of life. To enrich students' knowledge of modern science and technology as well as inspire us with scientific innovation in this “smarter” world, our school held a sci-tech festival last week.
The festival, featuring “Technology Changes Our Life”， attracted lots of students to participate in a variety of activities such as robotics competitions, science exhibitions, and coding contests. There were many hands-on scientific designs and inventions, among which the most popular ones were rockets and 3D printing.
The festival was proved hugely rewarding, broadening our horizons, promoting our creativity and cultivating our innovation.
第二节(满分25分)
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。
Avoiding people in a small town requires the skills of a spy.So Brad Ryan moved like a ghost, taking precautions to stay far away from the woman who he thought had broken his heart. He had not seen or spoken to Grandma Joy for six years.
One day, he received a call from his mom, saying his elder sister had announced her engagement and a wedding date had been set for a Duncan Falls church. Brad's heart sank, because Grandma Joy would be there. But he loved his sister, and there was no way he'd miss the wedding.
Despite Joy Ryan's first name, there were lots of sufferings and regrets instead of joy in her life. She grew up in a home with no electricity, running water or plumbing. She attended a one-room schoolhouse. And she suffered the loss of two sons. She was a widow (寡妇) for 14 years. She lived a small life that stopped at the edge of the county line. And she'd never had the chance to see what she called the great outdoors other than a trip to see relatives in Louisiana.
“My earliest memory of her is when I was 3.” said Brad. “We'd walk to Blue Rock State Park, which is close in her house. She'd help me lift rocks in the creek (小溪) to find crawfish. We'd hold them in our hands and talk about how beautiful it was being in nature. No one in my family thought like that.”
However, as Brad entered adolescence, he was growing emotionally distant from his family, with occasional quarrels. One day, a violent conflict broke out between Brad and his father. Brad turned to his grandma, hoping for help or just a kind word. But he got neither. He found Grandma Joy was in his father's side. “That was the end of my relationship with Grandma Joy.” he said.
At the wedding venue, on seeing Grandma Joy, thin and gaunt (憔悴的). Brad found himself thinking a lot about her and the happy time they spent together. It puzzled him why that memory in particular stayed with him. Now grandma, 78, walked unsteadily into the Duncan Falls church.

参考范文：
Brad hesitantly walked over to her. He gave grandma his arm to help her walk steadily. Stunned but delighted, grandma was about to say something when she was interrupted by Brad, “Grandma, I owe you an apology.” Grandma was overwhelmingly moved, saying that she should have given Brad more patience and understanding. That was a great regret for her in those years. They looked at each other with understanding smiles, their eyes glittering with tears of happiness. As the wedding ceremony began, they took seats next to each other, hand in hand.
After that day, Brad decided not to leave any regrets in his grandma's life. He began to spare more time to accompany grandma, taking her on trips to enjoy the most impressive scenery in the world. During the trips, Brad and grandma shared their life stories, sorrows and joys. Traveling far from Duncan Falls was life-changing for grandma as well as Brad himself. They were not just traveling partners, not just a grandmother and grandson, but friends. For Grandma Joy, her life was eventually full of joys. For Brad, he realized if he hadn't reached out to his grandma, it would be a lifelong regret.
