Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The late， great producer Phil Ramone worked with many famous popular singers.However， one of his albums is a little different.It’s classical music， made for children.
“He actually started as a child violinist，” said Marc Neikrug， a famous classical composer who worked together with Ramone on the album “Sunken Cathedrals”， after being introduced by Rock Positano， a doctor with a special interest in music’s value to medicine.“The three of us all want to promote classical music to children.”
In the digital age when children develop surrounded by constant distractions， however， Neikrug sees a very particular value in classical music.“I’m concerned about a world in which there is an almost aggressive move to lower people’s attention spans，” he said.“That’s terrifying.How do you even absorb and learn things？ How do you expect kids to do well in school？”
“I think it’s really important to let kids build some kind of ability to focus，” Neikrug said.“Great music can do that， because you’re drawn into what you’re listening to.”“A two- or three-minute music may not seem so long to concentrate on， but it’s a good attention span for kids，” he said.“We picked the pieces very deliberately to be not too long.”
All of the pieces on the two-part album are unadapted， complete works of classical music.“Phil， Dr Rock and I were all completely convinced that we need little， short， beautiful pieces for kids.They happen to be really good for adults too，” he pointed out， though the words “Classics for Kids” on the cover might scare some grown people off.This doesn’t mean you should throw all of your popular music albums away or trash all the screen devices in your home.“I’m not an advocate for disregarding the reality of living in this world，” Neikrug said.“I would say someone who grows up able to focus for an hour and equally able to use the smartphone with one hand， is fine.”
1.What did Marc Neikrug and Rock Positano have in common？
A.They had the same career.
B.They had the same interest.
C.They had the same circle of friends.
D.They had the same number of children.
2.What was Neikrug worried about？
A.People’s decreasing attention spans.
B.People becoming too aggressive.
C.People’s low learning ability.
D.People losing faith in school.
3.Why did Ramone and Neikrug select short pieces for the album？
A.To attract distracted adults.
B.Because of their own preference.
C.To include more pieces in the album.
D.Because of kids’ mental characteristics.
4.What does the text want to tell us？
A.Popular music producers turned to classical music.
B.Classical music can coexist with digital devices.
C.It’s never too late to listen to classical music.
D.Kids can benefit from classical music.

As humans， we’ve built connections and bonds with certain genres （类型） or musical styles as a way to express ourselves. Music is a powerful tool to convey information about ourselves. A recent study is offering new insight into how our favourite tunes are linked to our personalities.
The study spanning six continents with more than 350，000 participants showed that personality types are linked with certain musical preferences. During the study， people from more than 50 countries self-reported their enjoyment of 23 different music genres while also completing a personality questionnaire. The researchers also had the participants listen to brief clips of music from 16 different genres of Western music and rank them.
Songs like Ed Sheeran’s Shivers appeal to extroverts （性格外向者）， while adorable people would be happy to listen to What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye. Meanwhile， open people tend to enjoy Nina Simone’s songs or David Bowie’s classic Space Oddity. And all of these types of songs have appeal that crosses national borders， according to the study.
“We were surprised at just how much these patterns between music and personality were alike across the globe，”said study author David Greenberg， honorary research associate at the University of Cambridge， in a statement.
“People may be divided by geography， language and culture， but if an extrovert in one part of the world likes the same music as extroverts elsewhere，” said Greenberg， “that suggests that music could be a very powerful bridge. Music helps people to understand one another and find common ground.”
The researchers acknowledge that musical taste isn’t set in stone and can change. But the study provides a foundation for understanding how music can cross other social divisions and bring people together.
5.What did participants do during the study？
A.They travelled 50 countries.
B.They enjoyed 39 music clips.
C.They filled in a questionnaire.
D.They ranked personality types.
6.Who is more likely to be popular with lovely people？
A.Ed Sheeran. B.Marvin Gaye.
C.Nina Simone. D.David Bowie.
7.Which of the following will David Greenberg agree with？
A.Culture affects musical taste.
B.Geography decides music genres.
C.Music promotes communication.
D.Personality equals music patterns.
8.What can be a suitable title for the text？
A.What Determines Our Personality
B.Why Music Brings People Together
C.What Music Reveals About Our Personality
D.How Music Reflects Our Preferences

In the super fast-paced world we live in， happiness may not come as easily as we wish. Here are some tips to make us live happily.
Don’t avoid or ignore negativity.
9 This can include people in your life who may be bringing you down， a hostile workplace environment or even a personal stressor that you haven’t conquered quite yet. You are in control of your environment and if these negative situations keep making an appearance， it’s up to you to handle them.
Take care of yourself and satisfy your needs.
In order to live a powerful and meaningful life， you must love yourself. Take care of your actions and how you live each day， and this will be reflected in your thoughts and emotional states of mind. 10
Mend what’s broken or get rid of it.
Determining what is worth your time and effort and what is not can be challenging. If situations are beyond repair， it’s time to let go. Are there relationships or friendships that remain damaged but you know are worth the time？ 11 Do what you can to find love in situations where it may have been absent in the past.
12
Giving our time， energy， love and sometimes money is what life is about. 13 My mom taught me a quote she learned in Mexico that stuck with me forever， “Donde come uno， comen dos.（Where one can eat， two can eat.）” It moves me every time I say it out loud. At the end of the day， no matter what you have you are likely in a position to give something small to someone else who needs it. Don’t hesitate.
A.Give back.
B.Be positive.
C.Fix them and find peace.
D.Do more of what makes you happy.
E.Love yourself fully in order to love others fully.
F.Everything we put out into the world comes back to us.
G.In order to conquer and overcome， it must be acknowledged.

Ⅳ.读后续写
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。
When Anna thought she finally knew what life was all about， it dealt her a terrible blow. Her husband of fifty years， Ronald， passed away suddenly at the age of seventy-five.
Anna and Ronald had been making plans to get away on a dream trip to France； now it was too late. Anna was so sad that no one could comfort her， and her daughter Clara even started considering taking her to a doctor.
“I’m so worried about Mom，” Clara said to her husband and son， Ron， over dinner. “It’s been over six months， and she just mopes （闷闷不乐）. She won’t leave the house， not for anything.”
Ron， a fourteen-year-old who’d always been very close to his grandparents， was upset. “Poor Grandma！” he said. “I miss Grandpa too， but he was her world. They did everything together ...What if I start taking her out in the afternoon for walks the way Grandpa used to？”
“That’s a great idea， Ron！” his mother cried. “That’s so kind of you！”
So the next day， Ron showed up at his grandma’s house an hour before sunset. He invited Anna to walk down to the lake and watch the sunset， but she refused.
Anna turned her face away and said， “Don’t bother me， Ron. Run along and do something useful！”
Ron was hurt by his grandmother’s words， but what he didn’t know was that she was just as upset. “Why did I say that to the poor boy？”she asked herself. “He was only trying to help ...”
That night Ron told his mom what had happened. “Maybe she doesn’t want our help， Mom，” he said sadly.
“She may not want it，” Clara said. “But she definitely needs it. Grandpa wouldn’t want to see her wasting away like this. He loved life， and he adored Grandma.”
“Yeah！” Ron said. “It was embarrassing to see two such old people holding hands. And he always brought her flowers！”
That was when the great idea struck Ron. He was going to buy his grandmother flowers every day like his grandpa used to. Maybe a daily reminder that she was loved would turn things around. He decided not to say a word to his mom and to do this for his grandmother all by himself.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Ron had a new weekend job， and he had just received his very first salary.
When Ron visited Anna that afternoon， she was smiling.

Beethoven： a remarkable① life
On 7 May 1824， a crowd of② music lovers streamed③ into a theatre in Vienna to hear the first-ever④ performance of the great Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No.9⑤. The crowd immediately recognized that they were listening to something truly special， and they broke into enthusiastic⑥ cheers at the end of⑦ the symphony.[1] Beethoven， who was almost completely deaf at this point in his life， was unaware of⑧the audience’s response⑨ until one of the singers turned him around⑩ to face the crowd. [2]Before him， he saw a sea of people all standing， clapping， and waving their hats and handkerchiefs to express their appreciation of his masterwork.
[1]本句为主从复合句。who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰Beethoven；until引导时间状语从句。
[2]本句为含有see的复合结构。see sb doing sth表示“看到某人正在做某事”，并列的动词-ing短语standing， clapping， and waving their hats and handkerchiefs用作宾语补足语；waving 短语中的to express their appreciation of his masterwork用作目的状语。
[3]Symphony No.9 was Beethoven’s last major piece of music in a vast body of works written throughout his remarkable life. As a giftedchild， Beethoven was pushed by his father to study music day and night .Not long after， he began to be appreciated for his piano performances. [4]By the time he was a teenager， he had already enjoyed a reputation as a wonderful young musician. Many important figures in the music world， including the brilliant musician Mozart， started making predictions about Beethoven’s extraordinary future.However， life took a sharp turn .In his late twenties ， Beethoven suffered one of the worst possible twists for a musician： he started to lose his hearing.
[3]句中过去分词短语written throughout his remarkable life作后置定语，修饰前面的名词works。
[4]句中By the time引导时间状语从句，从句用一般过去时，主句用过去完成时。
The loss of his hearing deeply depressed Beethoven.[5]He was so upset that， at first ， he wanted to keep it a secret . In a letter to his brothers， he wrote， “...how could I possibly admit a weakness in the one sense which should be more perfect in me than in others， a sense which I once possessed in the greatest perfection ...” Even in his darkest moments， however， Beethoven never abandoned hope.Despite his hearing loss， he was determined to find a way to continue living a life full of music.He used a variety of hearing aids to try to increase the amount of sound he could take in.[6]When composing music at the piano， he would put one end of a pencil in his mouth and place the other end against the instrument so that he could feel the notes. Although Beethoven was able to continue composing music， it became increasingly difficult for him to perform in public. When Beethoven presented Symphony No.9 in Vienna in 1824， it was his first time on stage in over ten years.
[5]句中so ...that ...意为“如此……以至于……”，that引导结果状语从句。
[6]When composing music at the piano是时间状语从句的省略，相当于When he was composing music at the piano。so that引导目的状语从句。
Since that day， Beethoven’s Symphony No.9 has become one of the most famous and treasured pieces in the history of classical music. The first movement starts quietly， but all of a sudden the whole orchestra breaks into an energetic theme.You can soon feel the determination — a quality Beethoven understood well because of his hearing difficulties — coursing through the music.[7]The next two movements are full of desperate lows and uplifting highs which perhaps reflect both his suffering and his strong will to fight it. [8]The music moves through technically difficult sections with ease ， showing his genius as a composer. Finally， in the fourth movement， he connects all of the different variations into a joyful chorus .
[7]本句为主从复合句。which引导定语从句，修饰先行词desperate lows and uplifting highs在从句中作主语。
[8]本句是简单句。句中showing his genius as a composer为动词-ing短语作状语。
As Beethoven’s last great work， his Symphony No.9 was also a grand finale to his life — he died less than three years after the concert in Vienna， aged 56.For his amazing achievements and for his determination even in his darkest days， Beethoven is regarded as one of the most remarkable musicians who ever lived.

贝多芬：非凡的一生
1824年5月7日，一群音乐爱好者涌入维也纳一家剧院，去听伟大的路德维希·凡·贝多芬《第九交响曲》的首场演出。听众很快意识到他们所听绝非凡品，演出结束的那一刻，全场爆发出热情的欢呼。当时贝多芬已近全聋，直到一位领唱扶他转过身来，面向观众，他才发觉反响之热烈。他看见眼前的人山人海全部起立，有的鼓掌，有的挥舞帽子和手帕，表达着对这部杰作的赞赏。
贝多芬非凡的一生留下了极为丰厚的作品，《第九交响曲》是他最后一部大型作品。贝多芬幼年即展露才华，在父亲管教下夜以继日地学习音乐。没过多久，他的钢琴演奏已受人赏识。他少年时就已被誉为一名出色的年轻音乐家。不少音乐领域的重要人物，包括才华卓绝的莫扎特，都纷纷对他不可限量的前程给出预言。然而，厄运突至，不到三十岁，贝多芬就开始经受对音乐家来说至为残酷的挫折：他的听觉开始衰退了。
听觉下降令贝多芬深受打击。他痛苦不堪，起初只想尽量隐瞒。他在给弟弟的信中说：“……这样一种在我身上本应比别人更加完美的感官，这样一种我曾拥有绝顶禀赋的感官，如今怎能让我承认它有了缺陷……”然而，即使在那些最晦暗的时刻，贝多芬都不曾放弃希望。虽然听不清了，但他决心想办法让生活继续充满音乐。他尝试各种各样的助听设备，让自己听到更多的声音。在钢琴上作曲时，他将铅笔的一端含在嘴里，另一端顶住钢琴，这样就能感受到音符。作曲还可以继续，但公开演出对于他而言越来越艰难了。1824年在维也纳指挥这场《第九交响曲》，是他十多年来第一次登台。
从此，贝多芬《第九交响曲》成为古典音乐史上最著名和最受珍视的作品之一。交响曲第一章先是在平静中开始，随后，乐队全体猛然奏出一个强烈的主题。很快你就能感受到这种贯穿在音乐中的决心，这是贝多芬因自己的听力问题而深刻体会到的品质。接下来的两个乐章，充满了绝望的低声部和激越的高声部，或许分别反映了作曲家的痛苦和与之抗争的坚强意志。这首乐曲将技术上棘手的部分处理得轻松自如，显示出他作为作曲家的天赋。最后，在第四乐章中，他把所有不同的变奏连接成欢乐的合唱。
《第九交响曲》是贝多芬最后一部伟大的作品，也是他的人生绝唱——距这场维也纳音乐会举办未满三年，他就去世了，终年五十六岁。他惊人的艺术成就，以及在至暗岁月里都不曾动摇的顽强毅力，使他被公认为有史以来最卓越的音乐家之一。

【参考译文】
贝多芬：非凡的一生
1824年5月7日，一群音乐爱好者涌入维也纳一家剧院，去听伟大
的路德维希·凡·贝多芬《第九交响曲》的首场演出。听众很快意识到
他们所听绝非凡品，演出结束的那一刻，全场爆发出热情的欢呼。当
时贝多芬已近全聋，直到一位领唱扶他转过身来，面向观众，他才发
觉反响之热烈。他看见眼前的人山人海全部起立，有的鼓掌，有的挥
舞帽子和手帕，表达着对这部杰作的赞赏。
贝多芬非凡的一生留下了极为丰厚的作品，《第九交响曲》是他
最后一部大型作品。贝多芬幼年即展露才华，在父亲管教下夜以继日
地学习音乐。没过多久，他的钢琴演奏已受人赏识。他少年时就已被
誉为一名出色的年轻音乐家。不少音乐领域的重要人物，包括才华卓
绝的莫扎特，都纷纷对他不可限量的前程给出预言。然而，厄运突
至，不到三十岁，贝多芬就开始经受对音乐家来说至为残酷的挫折：
他的听觉开始衰退了。
听觉下降令贝多芬深受打击。他痛苦不堪，起初只想尽量隐瞒。
他在给弟弟的信中说：“……这样一种在我身上本应比别人更加完美
的感官，这样一种我曾拥有绝顶禀赋的感官，如今怎能让我承认它有
了缺陷……”然而，即使在那些最晦暗的时刻，贝多芬都不曾放弃希
望。虽然听不清了，但他决心想办法让生活继续充满音乐。他尝试各
种各样的助听设备，让自己听到更多的声音。在钢琴上作曲时，他将
铅笔的一端含在嘴里，另一端顶住钢琴，这样就能感受到音符。作曲
还可以继续，但公开演出对于他而言越来越艰难了。1824年在维也纳
指挥这场《第九交响曲》，是他十多年来第一次登台。
从此，贝多芬《第九交响曲》成为古典音乐史上最著名和最受珍
视的作品之一。交响曲第一章先是在平静中开始，随后，乐队全体猛
然奏出一个强烈的主题。很快你就能感受到这种贯穿在音乐中的决
心，这是贝多芬因自己的听力问题而深刻体会到的品质。接下来的两
个乐章，充满了绝望的低声部和激越的高声部，或许分别反映了作曲
家的痛苦和与之抗争的坚强意志。这首乐曲将技术上棘手的部分处理
得轻松自如，显示出他作为作曲家的天赋。最后，在第四乐章中，他
把所有不同的变奏连接成欢乐的合唱。
《第九交响曲》是贝多芬最后一部伟大的作品，也是他的人生绝
唱——距这场维也纳音乐会举办未满三年，他就去世了，终年五十六
岁。他惊人的艺术成就，以及在至暗岁月里都不曾动摇的顽强毅力，
使他被公认为有史以来最卓越的音乐家之一。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The late， great producer Phil Ramone worked with many famous
popular singers.However， one of his albums is a little different.It’s
classical music， made for children.
“He actually started as a child violinist，” said Marc Neikrug， a
famous classical composer who worked together with Ramone on the
album “Sunken Cathedrals”， after being introduced by Rock
Positano， a doctor with a special interest in music’s value to
medicine.“The three of us all want to promote classical music to
children.”
In the digital age when children develop surrounded by constant
distractions， however， Neikrug sees a very particular value in classical
music.“I’m concerned about a world in which there is an almost
aggressive move to lower people’s attention spans，” he said.“That’s
terrifying.How do you even absorb and learn things？ How do you expect
kids to do well in school？”
“I think it’s really important to let kids build some kind of ability to
focus，” Neikrug said.“Great music can do that， because you’re
drawn into what you’re listening to.”“A two- or three-minute music may
not seem so long to concentrate on， but it’s a good attention span for
kids，” he said.“We picked the pieces very deliberately to be not too
long.”
All of the pieces on the two-part album are unadapted， complete
works of classical music.“Phil， Dr Rock and I were all completely
convinced that we need little， short， beautiful pieces for kids.They
happen to be really good for adults too，” he pointed out， though the
words “Classics for Kids” on the cover might scare some grown people
off.This doesn’t mean you should throw all of your popular music albums
away or trash all the screen devices in your home.“I’m not an advocate
for disregarding the reality of living in this world，” Neikrug said.“I
would say someone who grows up able to focus for an hour and equally
able to use the smartphone with one hand， is fine.”

As humans， we’ve built connections and bonds with certain genres
（类型） or musical styles as a way to express ourselves. Music is a
powerful tool to convey information about ourselves. A recent study is
offering new insight into how our favourite tunes are linked to our
personalities.
The study spanning six continents with more than 350，000
participants showed that personality types are linked with certain musical
preferences. During the study， people from more than 50 countries self-
reported their enjoyment of 23 different music genres while also
completing a personality questionnaire. The researchers also had the
participants listen to brief clips of music from 16 different genres of
Western music and rank them.
Songs like Ed Sheeran’s Shivers appeal to extroverts （性格外向
者）， while adorable people would be happy to listen to What’s Going
On by Marvin Gaye. Meanwhile， open people tend to enjoy Nina
Simone’s songs or David Bowie’s classic Space Oddity. And all of these
types of songs have appeal that crosses national borders， according to the
study.
“We were surprised at just how much these patterns between music
and personality were alike across the globe，”said study author David
Greenberg， honorary research associate at the University of Cambridge，
in a statement.
“People may be divided by geography， language and culture， but
if an extrovert in one part of the world likes the same music as extroverts
elsewhere，” said Greenberg， “that suggests that music could be a
very powerful bridge. Music helps people to understand one another and
find common ground.”
The researchers acknowledge that musical taste isn’t set in stone and
can change. But the study provides a foundation for understanding how
music can cross other social divisions and bring people together.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
In the super fast-paced world we live in， happiness may not come as
easily as we wish. Here are some tips to make us live happily.
Don’t avoid or ignore negativity.
9 This can include people in your life who may be bringing you
down， a hostile workplace environment or even a personal stressor that
you haven’t conquered quite yet. You are in control of your environment
and if these negative situations keep making an appearance， it’s up to you
to handle them.
Take care of yourself and satisfy your needs.
In order to live a powerful and meaningful life， you must love
yourself. Take care of your actions and how you live each day， and this
will be reflected in your thoughts and emotional states of mind. 10
Mend what’s broken or get rid of it.
Determining what is worth your time and effort and what is not can be
challenging. If situations are beyond repair， it’s time to let go. Are there
relationships or friendships that remain damaged but you know are worth
the time？ 11 Do what you can to find love in situations where it may
have been absent in the past.
12
Giving our time， energy， love and sometimes money is what life is
about. 13 My mom taught me a quote she learned in Mexico that
stuck with me forever， “Donde come uno， comen dos.（Where one
can eat， two can eat.）” It moves me every time I say it out loud. At the
end of the day， no matter what you have you are likely in a position to
give something small to someone else who needs it. Don’t hesitate.
A. Give back.
B. Be positive.
C. Fix them and find peace.
D. Do more of what makes you happy.
E. Love yourself fully in order to love others fully.
F. Everything we put out into the world comes back to us.
G. In order to conquer and overcome， it must be acknowledged.

法：不要避开或忽视负面的东西；照顾好自己和满足自己的需求；
修复破裂的关系或摆脱它；回报他人。
9. G 根据本段的小标题可知，不要避开或忽视负面的东西。下文列
举了生活中可能存在的负面状况，并鼓励人们对它们进行控制和处
理。所以要想克服与战胜负面的东西，就必须先承认它们。故G项符
合语境。
10. E 根据本段的小标题可知，要照顾好自己，满足自己的需求；然
后本段介绍了如何好好关爱自己。E项（为了充分爱别人，你要先充
分爱自己）可作为总结句，符合语境。
11. C 根据空前一句（有没有一些受损的关系或友情是你认为值得花
时间来维持的？）并结合下文可知，你需要尽你所能从过去那些不曾
有爱的场景中发现爱。C项（修复它们，并且寻求平静）承上启下，
符合语境。
12. A 根据设空处的位置可知，此处为本段的小标题。本部分表明人
生的真谛是付出我们的时间、精力、爱和金钱，无论你拥有的是什
么，你都可以分享一小部分给其他有需要的人。A项（回馈）可概括
本段内容，符合语境。
13. F 根据空前一句可知，本段主题是回馈，生活就是我们付出的时

Ⅳ.读后续写
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。
When Anna thought she finally knew what life was all about， it dealt
her a terrible blow. Her husband of fifty years， Ronald， passed away
suddenly at the age of seventy-five.
Anna and Ronald had been making plans to get away on a dream trip
to France； now it was too late. Anna was so sad that no one could comfort
her， and her daughter Clara even started considering taking her to a
doctor.
“I’m so worried about Mom，” Clara said to her husband and
son， Ron， over dinner. “It’s been over six months， and she just
mopes （闷闷不乐）. She won’t leave the house， not for anything.”
Ron， a fourteen-year-old who’d always been very close to his
grandparents， was upset. “Poor Grandma！” he said. “I miss
Grandpa too， but he was her world. They did everything together ...What
if I start taking her out in the afternoon for walks the way Grandpa used
to？”
“That’s a great idea， Ron！” his mother cried. “That’s so kind of
you！”
So the next day， Ron showed up at his grandma’s house an hour
before sunset. He invited Anna to walk down to the lake and watch the
sunset， but she refused.
Anna turned her face away and said， “Don’t bother me， Ron. Run
along and do something useful！”
Ron was hurt by his grandmother’s words， but what he didn’t know
was that she was just as upset. “Why did I say that to the poor
boy？”she asked herself. “He was only trying to help ...”
That night Ron told his mom what had happened. “Maybe she
doesn’t want our help， Mom，” he said sadly.
“She may not want it，” Clara said. “But she definitely needs it.
Grandpa wouldn’t want to see her wasting away like this. He loved life，
and he adored Grandma.”
“Yeah！” Ron said. “It was embarrassing to see two such old
people holding hands. And he always brought her flowers！”
That was when the great idea struck Ron. He was going to buy his
grandmother flowers every day like his grandpa used to. Maybe a daily
reminder that she was loved would turn things around. He decided not to
say a word to his mom and to do this for his grandmother all by himself.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Ron had a new weekend job， and he had just received his very
first salary.
When Ron visited Anna that afternoon， she was smiling.
参考范文：
Ron had a new weekend job， and he had just received his very first
salary.The next day， he went to the local flower shop and ordered a
flower to be delivered to Anna’s house that afternoon. When the clerk
presented Ron with the bill， he worked out how much one flower a day
would cost him and realized he would be spending his entire salary on
flowers for his grandma. It was expensive， which meant he could not
hang out with his friends after work， but Ron believed it was worth it.
When Ron visited Anna that afternoon， she was smiling.She told
Ron someone sent her a flower just like his grandfather used to. Ron gently
said that was wonderful and that it was so good to see her look better. Ron
kept those flowers coming， no matter what it cost. Anna slowly recovered
her love of life， and she is now planning that trip to France she always
dreamed of with Ron’s family.She never found out who was sending the
flowers， and Ron is still keeping that a secret.
谢谢观看！
