Heman Bekele is not a typical high school student. Rather than spend his free time playing video games or staring at his phone, this 14-year-old boy from Fairfax, Virginia was calling professors and conducting experiments, all to create a bar of soap that could treat skin cancer, and to make it affordable for everyone who needs it. His work won him the grand prize in the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge,a competition that encourages kids to think of unique ways to solve everyday problems.
Growing up in Ethiopia, Bekele found in pity that people working outside were likely to end up getting skin cancer. Skin cancer did have cures and was treatable in most cases. However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally was almost $ 40,000. Those shocking statistics really inspired him to create a more accessible solution. He started doing experiments and working on different things, and that turned into his bar of soap as a project.
A lot of his research and development started in his family’s kitchen and in his basement. But as he reached the final of the competition, he realized that he did need to do a little bit more outside of just his house. So he reached out to people at the University of Virginia and people at Georgetown University, and he got a lot of assistance. The number one person would be Deborah Isabelle, who helped him organize-and structure his ideas during the finals. Bekele said that he definitely couldn’t have done that all by himself.
Bekele’s award-winning soap is a compound-based bar of soap and it’s charged with different cancer-fighting chemicals. The color of the soap is a bit of a dark type of white and it has a rough surface, which could be a good exfoliant (去角质剂). It does have a strong medicine smell and feel a bit stickier. The whole point of it is that even once you wash off the soaps, the medicinal parts will stay on your skin. It can activate the body’s immune cells to defend cancer.
Bekele won 25,000 prize money and he was going to use it to continue research. He said, “I still need a lot of resources to be able to conduct this research, so this money will definitely help me achieve it.”
24. Why did Heman Bekele start working on creating the soap
A. He thought it was a fun project.
B. He wanted to win a science competition.
C. He found skin cancer treatment unaffordable.
D. He wanted to create unique soap for everyone
25. What can we learn from Bekele’s preparations for the finals
A. Well begun is half done. B. Learn humbly, ask willingly.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
26. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A. What features the soap has. B. How the soap is used.
C. What chemicals the soap contains. D. How the soap is produced.
27. Which words can be used to describe Bekele according to the passage
A. Patient and talented. B. Friendly and ambitious.
C. Cautious and generous. D. Caring and devoted.
C
Deeply rooted in the oral traditions of indigenous (土著的) communities, indigenous stories carry great significance. Such stories often convey moral lessons, societal norms and the shared wisdom of the community. Through these stories, the younger generations learn about their ancestors, the struggles they faced and the success they achieved. This develops a sense of continuity, strengthening the structure of indigenous societies. Moreover, by listening to and retelling these stories, community members contribute to the survival of indigenous languages.
Indigenous stories serve as windows into the different cultures worldwide. Each story is a unique expression of a community’s worldview, shaped by its history, environment and spiritual beliefs. Through these stories, we gain a deeper appreciation for the different ways people view the world. And by telling their stories, indigenous peoples invite others to look into their traditions, developing empathy (共情) and promoting a more interconnected world where different cultures are celebrated and respected.
Many indigenous stories explore themes of creation and the interconnectedness of the spiritual and material fields. Through these tales, individuals find a sense of purpose and connection to something greater than themselves. Indigenous stories provide stories of overcoming challenges, of not giving up in the face of hardship, and of the interconnectedness that combines communities together. In this way,storytelling promotes healing on both individual and communal levels.
While indigenous stories are of great importance, their continuation is threatened. For example, the impact of modernization has disturbed traditional storytelling practices. The use of indigenous stories for commercial purposes also hurts their authenticity (真实性). Fortunately, despite these challenges, there’s a growing global recognition of the need to preserve and reinstate indigenous stories.
Language restoration programs play an important role in preserving indigenous stories. They focus on teaching and bringing endangered languages back, which helps oral stories pass down. Cooperative projects between indigenous communities and external partners, such as researchers and storytellers, contribute to the record and preservation of oral traditions. Digital platforms, podcasts, and interactive media provide opportunities to share indigenous stories with a global audience, raising awareness about the importance of indigenous storytelling.
28. What can be learned about indigenous stories from paragraph 2
A. They teach people how to live worldwide. B. They improve our ability to tell stories.
C. They promote cross-culture understanding. D. They are a symbol of wisdom and spirits.
29. What do indigenous stories mean for people in trouble
A. Signs of identity. B. Sources of strength.
C. Means of survival. D. Forms of pleasure.
30. What does the underlined word “reinstate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Learn. B. Restore. C. Interpret. D. Adapt.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Efforts to preserve indigenous stories.
B. Impacts of the interactive mass media.
C. Ways to share stories with the audience.
D. Attitudes towards passing down stories.

When it’s time for a wardrobe makeover (形象改造), who’s the best person to give you some advice You’ll probably turn to your friend for some feedback and fashion tips---they know you best and can offer an honest opinion about which colours don’t match and which outfit makes you look pretty.
However for someone like me, who’s not a follower of fashion and has a more practical dress sense, I don’t need help---it’s just jeans or… jeans! But for people who care about their appearance, they can now get some trustworthy advice with the aid of technology.
Of course, using social media is a good way when you are at a loss about fashion, but this sometimes brings in too much conflicting advice and opinions that are sometimes straight forward! That’s why one woman has developed an app to help women crowd source advice from stylists in a safe, non-violent communication environment.
Sophia Matveeva’s Style Counsel app allows users to post a photo and receive “yes” or “no” answers from other users, or more detailed advice from fashion stylists and bloggers very quickly. According to Matthew Wall, BBC Technology of Business editor, this is a growing business, with several new apps such as AskAnna, Mallzee and StyleDotMe all offering young women tips on suitable and fashionable clothes to wear.
There’s also a website called EyeFitU which finds clothes to fit your figure. Its chief executive, Isabelle Ohnemus, says there are no international standards in clothes sizes but she explains, “We can set up your size profile in a few seconds with 80% accuracy just knowing your gender, height, weight and age”. This information is used to find clothes that suit your actual shape. And the internet giant, Amazon, has also developed a camera that links to a “style check” function that compares photos and gives its opinion of which outfit is better, based on fit, colour, style and current fashion trends.
But does technology make fashion advice a bit impersonal Sophia Matveeva admits that women in particular are social creatures and that “AI will never stop us talking to each other ... girls will always want the approval of the cool girl at school.” But as for me: an app with someone I don’t know could be the place to start with some careful-in-speech fashion tips!
32. What is the problem of asking for fashion advice on social media
A. No feedback. B. Dishonest opinions.
C. Too many choices. D. Contradictory advice.
33. Who are the possible target users of the fashion apps
A. Cool boys at school. B. Young women fashion-goers.
C. Fashion stylists and bloggers. D. People with a practical dress sense.
34. How does the website EyeFitU help users find suitable clothes
A. By developing a super camera. B. By assessing current fashion trends.
C. By analyzing users’ basic information. D. By setting agreed standards for clothes sizes.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Fashion Anxiety B. New Fashion Trends
C. Wardrobe Decoration D. Tech-driven Fashion Advice

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。
Every year, Tyler VanderWeele chooses a six-week period to do things for others that might ordinarily seem too inconvenient. 36 He might give a friend an unexpected gift, invite someone out for coffee, set aside time at work to support a colleague, or bring a family member’s favorite food to the dinner table.
37 Such acts of kindness can not only make the giver and recipient feel good, but they can also promote our psychological and physical health in surprising ways. There’s convincing evidence that kindness is linked with a number of aspects of health and well-being. Some studies have indicated it can improve happiness and a sense of engagement with life and reduce symptoms of anxiety. 38 An international trial published online by Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology suggested that kindness decreases social isolation and loneliness, which are increasingly linked to a variety of negative health effects. There’s growing research that our bodies benefit too, with kindness associated with lower blood pressure and stress levels.
And focused efforts matter. 39 Performing five selfless acts on a single day each week for six weeks, as VanderWeele does, benefits more than spreading them over the course of a week. For instance, consistent volunteerism, a form of sustained kindness, is connected with living longer and functioning better as we age.
But is kindness born or made How can kindness be developed It may be more challenging for some, but reflecting on times when others have been kind to you can create more kindness. Pick one day a week for six straight weeks to do five kind things. 40
A. His good deeds are many and varied.
B. That person goes on to act more kindly.
C. Over time, you can become a kinder person
D. It also increases a sense of social connectedness.
E. You may believe yourself to be a very kind person.
F. These examples are more than just random displays of generosity.
G. Concentrating on kind gestures enhances well-being more powerfully

In a small town, there lived an old woman named Mrs. Thompson who was known for her kind heart. However, she had been living alone since her husband passed away and her reclusive (隐居的) nature kept her a bit apart from others. She lived a lonely life, with her well-tended garden as her only comfort. The garden was an abundance of colors, filled with roses, daisies, and various herbs. Each plant was cared for with her full love and attention.
One day, a young girl named Lily moved into the neighborhood. Lily was a curious and friendly child, but she had been through a difficult time as she was recovering from a serious illness and was often sad and lonely.
One afternoon, Lily was walking past Mrs. Thompson’s house and was attracted by the beautiful garden. She pecked over the fence and saw Mrs. Thompson tending to the flowers. Mrs. Thompson noticed Lily and invited her in. Lily was hesitant at first but then walked in with a shy smile.
Mrs. Thompson showed her around the garden and told her about the different plants and their uses. She picked a few herbs and made a cup of tea for Lily, saying it was good for her health. Lily drank the tea and felt a warmth and comfort she hadn’t felt in a long time.
As the days passed, Lily became a frequent visitor to the garden. Mrs. Thompson taught her how to plant seeds, water the plants, and take care of them. Lily’s health gradually improved, and she started to smile and laugh more.
However, one day, Mrs. Thompson fell ill and was hospitalized. Learning of this, Lily rushed to the hospital to ensure her well-being. During their conversation, she knew Mrs. Thompson was worried about her garden, fearing that without her care, the flowers and herbs she cherished would wither (枯萎).

Future Tech Experience Day
The first Future Tech Experience Day took place last Friday at our school. The day began with a tech fair in the hall, featuring VR headsets that let us visit space stations as if we were there. Later, in groups, we tried writing simple games on tablets, guided by student volunteers. The highlight was a drone show, where colorful drones formed shapes like rockets in the sky.
Responses were enthusiastic. Students called it the coolest day ever, excited by hands-on experiences. Teachers believed it helped develop creativity and teamwork. This event surely inspired more curiosity about the future of technology.

文章围绕老妇人汤普森夫人和小女孩莉莉展开。汤普森夫人善良但因丈夫去世后性格孤僻，独自生活，花园是她的心灵慰藉。莉莉刚搬来，因病常感孤独。两人因花园结缘，汤普森夫人带莉莉认识植物、教她照顾花园，莉莉身体和心情都有所改善。后来汤普森夫人病倒住院，担心花园，为后续莉莉照顾花园的情节埋下伏笔。

范文一
Lily decided to take up the responsibility in her place. She got up early every morning to water the plants in the garden. She remembered clearly how Mrs. Thompson watered them, so she made sure each plant got enough water but not too much. She also carefully pulled out the weeds around the flowers. Lily spent a lot of time in the garden every day. What’s more, she made some herbal tea according to the method Mrs. Thompson taught her and took it to the hospital for Mrs. Thompson. She hoped this could help Mrs. Thompson get better soon.Paragraph
Accompanied by Lily, Mrs. Thompson returned home. When she saw the garden, she was very surprised. The flowers were blooming brightly and the herbs were growing well. She was deeply moved and said to Lily, “Thank you so much, dear. You’ve done a great job.” Lily smiled and said it was her pleasure. From then on, Lily still often visited Mrs. Thompson and they took care of the garden together. They became very close, just like family.
范文二
Lily decided to take up the responsibility in her place. Equipped with the knowledge Mrs. Thompson had shared, Lily dedicated herself to the garden. Every day, she would check the soil moisture and water the plants accordingly. She removed any weeds she found, being extremely careful not to damage the flowers. In addition, Lily learned to prune the plants to make them grow better. She also made herbal tea and took it to the hospital regularly. Each time she saw Mrs. Thompson drink the tea, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
Accompanied by Lily, Mrs. Thompson returned home. As soon as she entered the garden, her eyes lit up. The garden was even more beautiful than she had expected. She hugged Lily tightly and said, “You’re such a kind girl. This garden is still so lovely because of you.” After that, they continued to enjoy the time in the garden together. They would sit in the garden, chatting and sharing their stories, and their friendship became deeper.

Heman Bekele is not a typical high school student. Rather than spend his free time playing video games or staring at his phone, this 14-year-old boy from Fairfax, Virginia was calling professors and conducting experiments, all to create a bar of soap that could treat skin cancer, and to make it affordable for everyone who needs it. His work won him the grand prize in the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge,a competition that encourages kids to think of unique ways to solve everyday problems.
Growing up in Ethiopia, Bekele found in pity that people working outside were likely to end up getting skin cancer. Skin cancer did have cures and was treatable in most cases. However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally was almost $ 40,000. Those shocking statistics really inspired him to create a more accessible solution. He started doing experiments and working on different things, and that turned into his bar of soap as a project.
A lot of his research and development started in his family’s kitchen and in his basement. But as he reached the final of the competition, he realized that he did need to do a little bit more outside of just his house. So he reached out to people at the University of Virginia and people at Georgetown University, and he got a lot of assistance. The number one person would be Deborah Isabelle, who helped him organize-and structure his ideas during the finals. Bekele said that he definitely couldn’t have done that all by himself.
Bekele’s award-winning soap is a compound-based bar of soap and it’s charged with different cancer-fighting chemicals. The color of the soap is a bit of a dark type of white and it has a rough surface, which could be a good exfoliant (去角质剂). It does have a strong medicine smell and feel a bit stickier. The whole point of it is that even once you wash off the soaps, the medicinal parts will stay on your skin. It can activate the body’s immune cells to defend cancer.
Bekele won 25,000 prize money and he was going to use it to continue research. He said, “I still need a lot of resources to be able to conduct this research, so this money will definitely help me achieve it.”
24. Why did Heman Bekele start working on creating the soap
A. He thought it was a fun project.
B. He wanted to win a science competition.
C. He found skin cancer treatment unaffordable.
D. He wanted to create unique soap for everyone
25. What can we learn from Bekele’s preparations for the finals
A. Well begun is half done. B. Learn humbly, ask willingly.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
26. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A. What features the soap has. B. How the soap is used.
C. What chemicals the soap contains. D. How the soap is produced.
27. Which words can be used to describe Bekele according to the passage
A. Patient and talented. B. Friendly and ambitious.
C. Cautious and generous. D. Caring and devoted.
C
Deeply rooted in the oral traditions of indigenous (土著的) communities, indigenous stories carry great significance. Such stories often convey moral lessons, societal norms and the shared wisdom of the community. Through these stories, the younger generations learn about their ancestors, the struggles they faced and the success they achieved. This develops a sense of continuity, strengthening the structure of indigenous societies. Moreover, by listening to and retelling these stories, community members contribute to the survival of indigenous languages.
Indigenous stories serve as windows into the different cultures worldwide. Each story is a unique expression of a community’s worldview, shaped by its history, environment and spiritual beliefs. Through these stories, we gain a deeper appreciation for the different ways people view the world. And by telling their stories, indigenous peoples invite others to look into their traditions, developing empathy (共情) and promoting a more interconnected world where different cultures are celebrated and respected.
Many indigenous stories explore themes of creation and the interconnectedness of the spiritual and material fields. Through these tales, individuals find a sense of purpose and connection to something greater than themselves. Indigenous stories provide stories of overcoming challenges, of not giving up in the face of hardship, and of the interconnectedness that combines communities together. In this way,storytelling promotes healing on both individual and communal levels.
While indigenous stories are of great importance, their continuation is threatened. For example, the impact of modernization has disturbed traditional storytelling practices. The use of indigenous stories for commercial purposes also hurts their authenticity (真实性). Fortunately, despite these challenges, there’s a growing global recognition of the need to preserve and reinstate indigenous stories.
Language restoration programs play an important role in preserving indigenous stories. They focus on teaching and bringing endangered languages back, which helps oral stories pass down. Cooperative projects between indigenous communities and external partners, such as researchers and storytellers, contribute to the record and preservation of oral traditions. Digital platforms, podcasts, and interactive media provide opportunities to share indigenous stories with a global audience, raising awareness about the importance of indigenous storytelling.
28. What can be learned about indigenous stories from paragraph 2
A. They teach people how to live worldwide. B. They improve our ability to tell stories.
C. They promote cross-culture understanding. D. They are a symbol of wisdom and spirits.
29. What do indigenous stories mean for people in trouble
A. Signs of identity. B. Sources of strength.
C. Means of survival. D. Forms of pleasure.
30. What does the underlined word “reinstate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Learn. B. Restore. C. Interpret. D. Adapt.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Efforts to preserve indigenous stories.
B. Impacts of the interactive mass media.
C. Ways to share stories with the audience.
D. Attitudes towards passing down stories.

When it’s time for a wardrobe makeover (形象改造), who’s the best person to give you some advice You’ll probably turn to your friend for some feedback and fashion tips---they know you best and can offer an honest opinion about which colours don’t match and which outfit makes you look pretty.
However for someone like me, who’s not a follower of fashion and has a more practical dress sense, I don’t need help---it’s just jeans or… jeans! But for people who care about their appearance, they can now get some trustworthy advice with the aid of technology.
Of course, using social media is a good way when you are at a loss about fashion, but this sometimes brings in too much conflicting advice and opinions that are sometimes straight forward! That’s why one woman has developed an app to help women crowd source advice from stylists in a safe, non-violent communication environment.
Sophia Matveeva’s Style Counsel app allows users to post a photo and receive “yes” or “no” answers from other users, or more detailed advice from fashion stylists and bloggers very quickly. According to Matthew Wall, BBC Technology of Business editor, this is a growing business, with several new apps such as AskAnna, Mallzee and StyleDotMe all offering young women tips on suitable and fashionable clothes to wear.
There’s also a website called EyeFitU which finds clothes to fit your figure. Its chief executive, Isabelle Ohnemus, says there are no international standards in clothes sizes but she explains, “We can set up your size profile in a few seconds with 80% accuracy just knowing your gender, height, weight and age”. This information is used to find clothes that suit your actual shape. And the internet giant, Amazon, has also developed a camera that links to a “style check” function that compares photos and gives its opinion of which outfit is better, based on fit, colour, style and current fashion trends.
But does technology make fashion advice a bit impersonal Sophia Matveeva admits that women in particular are social creatures and that “AI will never stop us talking to each other ... girls will always want the approval of the cool girl at school.” But as for me: an app with someone I don’t know could be the place to start with some careful-in-speech fashion tips!
32. What is the problem of asking for fashion advice on social media
A. No feedback. B. Dishonest opinions.
C. Too many choices. D. Contradictory advice.
33. Who are the possible target users of the fashion apps
A. Cool boys at school. B. Young women fashion-goers.
C. Fashion stylists and bloggers. D. People with a practical dress sense.
34. How does the website EyeFitU help users find suitable clothes
A. By developing a super camera. B. By assessing current fashion trends.
C. By analyzing users’ basic information. D. By setting agreed standards for clothes sizes.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Fashion Anxiety B. New Fashion Trends
C. Wardrobe Decoration D. Tech-driven Fashion Advice

Every year, Tyler VanderWeele chooses a six-week period to do things for others that might ordinarily seem too inconvenient. 36 He might give a friend an unexpected gift, invite someone out for coffee, set aside time at work to support a colleague, or bring a family member’s favorite food to the dinner table.
37 Such acts of kindness can not only make the giver and recipient feel good, but they can also promote our psychological and physical health in surprising ways. There’s convincing evidence that kindness is linked with a number of aspects of health and well-being. Some studies have indicated it can improve happiness and a sense of engagement with life and reduce symptoms of anxiety. 38 An international trial published online by Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology suggested that kindness decreases social isolation and loneliness, which are increasingly linked to a variety of negative health effects. There’s growing research that our bodies benefit too, with kindness associated with lower blood pressure and stress levels.
And focused efforts matter. 39 Performing five selfless acts on a single day each week for six weeks, as VanderWeele does, benefits more than spreading them over the course of a week. For instance, consistent volunteerism, a form of sustained kindness, is connected with living longer and functioning better as we age.
But is kindness born or made How can kindness be developed It may be more challenging for some, but reflecting on times when others have been kind to you can create more kindness. Pick one day a week for six straight weeks to do five kind things. 40
A. His good deeds are many and varied.
B. That person goes on to act more kindly.
C. Over time, you can become a kinder person
D. It also increases a sense of social connectedness.
E. You may believe yourself to be a very kind person.
F. These examples are more than just random displays of generosity.
G. Concentrating on kind gestures enhances well-being more powerfully

In a small town, there lived an old woman named Mrs. Thompson who was known for her kind heart. However, she had been living alone since her husband passed away and her reclusive (隐居的) nature kept her a bit apart from others. She lived a lonely life, with her well-tended garden as her only comfort. The garden was an abundance of colors, filled with roses, daisies, and various herbs. Each plant was cared for with her full love and attention.
One day, a young girl named Lily moved into the neighborhood. Lily was a curious and friendly child, but she had been through a difficult time as she was recovering from a serious illness and was often sad and lonely.
One afternoon, Lily was walking past Mrs. Thompson’s house and was attracted by the beautiful garden. She pecked over the fence and saw Mrs. Thompson tending to the flowers. Mrs. Thompson noticed Lily and invited her in. Lily was hesitant at first but then walked in with a shy smile.
Mrs. Thompson showed her around the garden and told her about the different plants and their uses. She picked a few herbs and made a cup of tea for Lily, saying it was good for her health. Lily drank the tea and felt a warmth and comfort she hadn’t felt in a long time.
As the days passed, Lily became a frequent visitor to the garden. Mrs. Thompson taught her how to plant seeds, water the plants, and take care of them. Lily’s health gradually improved, and she started to smile and laugh more.
However, one day, Mrs. Thompson fell ill and was hospitalized. Learning of this, Lily rushed to the hospital to ensure her well-being. During their conversation, she knew Mrs. Thompson was worried about her garden, fearing that without her care, the flowers and herbs she cherished would wither (枯萎).

Future Tech Experience Day
The first Future Tech Experience Day took place last Friday at our school. The day began with a tech fair in the hall, featuring VR headsets that let us visit space stations as if we were there. Later, in groups, we tried writing simple games on tablets, guided by student volunteers. The highlight was a drone show, where colorful drones formed shapes like rockets in the sky.
Responses were enthusiastic. Students called it the coolest day ever, excited by hands-on experiences. Teachers believed it helped develop creativity and teamwork. This event surely inspired more curiosity about the future of technology.

文章围绕老妇人汤普森夫人和小女孩莉莉展开。汤普森夫人善良但因丈夫去世后性格孤僻，独自生活，花园是她的心灵慰藉。莉莉刚搬来，因病常感孤独。两人因花园结缘，汤普森夫人带莉莉认识植物、教她照顾花园，莉莉身体和心情都有所改善。后来汤普森夫人病倒住院，担心花园，为后续莉莉照顾花园的情节埋下伏笔。

Lily decided to take up the responsibility in her place. She got up early every morning to water the plants in the garden. She remembered clearly how Mrs. Thompson watered them, so she made sure each plant got enough water but not too much. She also carefully pulled out the weeds around the flowers. Lily spent a lot of time in the garden every day. What’s more, she made some herbal tea according to the method Mrs. Thompson taught her and took it to the hospital for Mrs. Thompson. She hoped this could help Mrs. Thompson get better soon.Paragraph
Accompanied by Lily, Mrs. Thompson returned home. When she saw the garden, she was very surprised. The flowers were blooming brightly and the herbs were growing well. She was deeply moved and said to Lily, “Thank you so much, dear. You’ve done a great job.” Lily smiled and said it was her pleasure. From then on, Lily still often visited Mrs. Thompson and they took care of the garden together. They became very close, just like family.
范文二
Lily decided to take up the responsibility in her place. Equipped with the knowledge Mrs. Thompson had shared, Lily dedicated herself to the garden. Every day, she would check the soil moisture and water the plants accordingly. She removed any weeds she found, being extremely careful not to damage the flowers. In addition, Lily learned to prune the plants to make them grow better. She also made herbal tea and took it to the hospital regularly. Each time she saw Mrs. Thompson drink the tea, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
Accompanied by Lily, Mrs. Thompson returned home. As soon as she entered the garden, her eyes lit up. The garden was even more beautiful than she had expected. She hugged Lily tightly and said, “You’re such a kind girl. This garden is still so lovely because of you.” After that, they continued to enjoy the time in the garden together. They would sit in the garden, chatting and sharing their stories, and their friendship became deeper.
