A Librarian’s Gratitude List
November always feels like the perfect month to pause and reflect on the small, wonderful things that make my working in Youth Services at the Bartlett Public Library so special. Amid the rush of busy programs, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude. Each day brings new smiles, creativity, and connections that remind me why I love what I do.
Little Moments, Big Smiles
At the top of my list is the energetic kids who greet me every day with big waves and cheerful “Ms. Jessica!” Some days, there’s even a soft hug-or a new drawing to add to my ever-growing collection of crayon masterpieces. Those small gestures never fail to brighten my day.
Volunteers Who Make Magic Happen
I’m also deeply thankful for our outstanding volunteers — the ones who quietly jump in, notice what needs to be done, and do it with a smile. For example, they make decorations for Summer Reading events and guide children through trying crafts (手工). Through it all, I can always count on their energy, kindness, and passion.
The Small Things That Shine
There are so many other things that make me grateful:
The parent who whispers “thank you” as they gather coats and little craft projects after a program.
Moments of encouragement from colleagues — a note, a smile, or a simple “You’ve got this.”
Taking Time to Be Thankful
This November, I encourage you to make your own “Library Gratitude List”. What small things make your days brighter What moments remind you why you chose this work Write them down, share them, or keep them close — you’ll discover just how much joy they bring when you take time to notice.

Rajesh Kumar Sharma is not an ordinary teacher at a regular school. While employed as an engineer at a construction site, he spotted his fellow laborers’ kids playing in a nearby field when they should have been learning. Concerned, he offered them candy and clothes, but he soon found a better, longer-lasting way to help. In 2006, he launched his “Free School of Under the Bridge”, committed to serving underserved kids.
Sharma’s personal history inspired the project. While he inspired to be an engineer, he had to drop out of college due to a lack of financial resources. Now, Sharma hopes to help kids around the Yamuna River — whose parents are often farmers, informal workers, and irregular migrants — avoid the same fate (命运). What started as simple teaching of two children has grown into an open-air school with nearly 300 kids.
Located under a bridge, the free school welcomes kids from the first year of primary to the third year of secondary school. Blackboards have been painted on a wall, and most students sit on carpets or on the dirt floor. Kids are free to come and join a lesson whenever they need to.
Out of Sharma’s encouragement, most of the students enter government-run schools, where they can get free textbooks and meals. Later, Sharma offers them help with subjects they struggle with, such as mathematics, English, science, history, and geography. To avoid misunderstandings, he doesn’t take donations in cash, but rather in the form of things that can directly benefit the students, such as clothing, food, books, bottled water, and chairs.
“In India, it is said that the most beautiful lotuses (荷花) are born in the wet, muddy area of lands,” Sharma said, signaling how his students can develop well despite their circumstances — and much to his delight, they have. One of his earliest students has just entered university and shares Sharma’s ambition of one day becoming an engineer. “I didn’t want this generation to lose out just because they are poor,” he said. “Through these children, I get to live my dream.”
4. Why did Sharma start the “Free School of Under the Bridge”
A. To ease the burden for kids. B. To earn a living from teaching.
C. To fulfill his engineering dream. D. To offer no-cost education to kids in need.
5. What can we know about Sharma’s school
A. It keeps strict attendance. B. It offers children extra academic help.
C. It teaches more than 300 kids. D. It only admits kids of informal workers.
6. Why does Sharma refuse cash donations
A. He tries to avoid potential trouble. B. He plans to run the school by himself.
C. He thinks materials are more beneficial. D. He dislikes dealing with money matters.
7. What does Sharma mean by saying “the most beautiful lotuses are born in the wet, muddy area of lands”
A. Lotuses are his favorite flowers. B. Wetlands are perfect for lotuses.
C. Poor children can also succeed. D. Circumstances decide one’s future.

Influential UK firm Heatherwick Studio has been arranged to transform an island in Seoul, South Korea, from a wasteland into a public park. The ambitious project, named Soundscape, will feature a raised walkway, greenery filled buildings, and more.
Nodeul Island, which is situated in the Han River, was an unimpressive island that was used to store waste and fenced off from the public, gaining a reputation (名声) as an “obliterated” island as it fell into disuse over the decades. The local government recently decided to re-imagine it as a new tourist attraction for locals and visitors.
It will now be arranged around a central raised walkway. This will include a walkway with a length of 1.25 km (almost 0.8 mile) that draws inspiration from both the patterns of sound waves and Seoul’s surrounding mountainous landscape.
“So often when people use the word culture they mean museums and galleries, but that only speaks to a part of the public,” says the studio founder Thomas Heatherwick. “Instead, Nodeul Island will be one of the most public places that any citizen can enjoy, where sound is central to the whole experience — fixed into the landscape, the installations (装置), and the programming. Soundscape will be somewhere you can breathe and feel alive-an invitation to listen, discover and connect with your fellow citizens.”
Planned ground-level features include a new public beach, with plants and trees. There will also be visitor spaces including recording studios, an art center, concert halls, a waterfront theater, a K-Pop experience center, and a cafe-all of which will feature considerable greenery too.
Construction on Soundscape will take place in stages, allowing ongoing access to parts of the island and it’s expected to be completed in 2028. Heatherwick Studio has a lot of experience with these sorts of projects in recent years, and in addition to the Little Island which has been built, it has also revealed plans for the Cove and the Leaf.
8. Which word has the closest meaning to “obliterated” in paragraph 2
A. Forgotten. B. Polluted. C. Crowded. D. Popularized.
9. What is Thomas Heatherwick’s view on Nodeul Island
A. It will focus on traditional culture. B. It will separate locals from visitors.
C. It will be a private space for artists. D. It will be an accessible space featured sound.
10. What can we infer about Heatherwick Studio
A. It mainly works on artificial islands. B. It is good at rebuilding urban spaces.
C. It has finished the Soundscape project. D. It first proposed the Little Island Project.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. Ways to Build Public Parks in Seoul B. The Creativity of A Famous UK Firm.
C. Nodeul Island’s Transformation Plan D. Heatherwick Studio’s Successful Projects
D
Group interactions are an essential part of personal and professional life, and mastering them can significantly benefit our social, work, and personal munication is a complex (复杂的) process, with body language playing a vital role in how messages are perceived and understood. Understanding body language can significantly improve group interactions, making them more positive and productive.
Unlike verbal language, body language often reveals true thoughts and feelings unconsciously. It can share emotions more directly than words. For example, a bright smile and relaxed shoulders usually show happiness, while leaning back means being not interested. Even small movements, like tapping fingers or avoiding eye contact, can suggest nervousness, which words may try to hide.
Gestures are a valuable component of body language, aiding in clarifying and emphasizing spoken messages during group interactions. Skillful use of gestures can help show passion, support understanding, and maintain engagement (参与) within a group setting. Descriptive gestures, such as using hands to illustrate a concept or directional movements to indicate options, can provide visual strengthening to verbal communication. These gestures help ensure that the group can follow the discussion, especially in complex or technical conversations.
However, too much gestures may become distracting or annoying in group settings. The key is to ensure gestures are purposeful and relevant, naturally adding to the verbal message. Practicing consistency (一致性) in gestures that match the tone and content of your speech helps strengthen the intended message, enabling clearer communication and understanding among group members.
Despite its importance, common misunderstandings about body language often cause misinterpretation. A usual one is treating single movements as absolute cues (暗示): many think crossed arms equal defensiveness, but it could just be a comfortable posture or a response to cold. Another is ignoring context-avoiding eye contact in a serious talk might seem dishonest, but it could result from cultural respect for others. These oversimplified judgments ignored the complexity of body language and its influencing factors.
12. What can we learn about the relationship between body language and verbal language
A. Words share emotions more directly. B. Verbal language is more widely used.
C. They have the same cultural meanings. D. Body language is more truthful at times.
13. How can descriptive gestures help group interactions
A Hiding nervousness easily. B. Clarifying the group setting.
C. Emphasizing key points. D. Avoiding communication mistakes.
14. What does the author suggest in paragraph 4
A. Be mindful of overusing gestures. B. Use certain gestures on purpose.
C. Maintain unity in language tones. D. Stick to your intended message.
15. Why people often treat single movements as absolute cues
A. They are often influenced by others. B. They fail to understand other factors.
C. They are used to observing contexts. D. They have simple communication skills.

47. 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。
On a spring evening, my parents, my younger sister Emma, and I stopped outside Miller’s Hardware store (五金店) on our way back home.
Among useful gardening things and handy tools was a great professional toolset (工具包), shining under the soft store lights. Dad’s eyes stayed on it. “Wow,” he said quietly, “look at that.” He then looked down at his own old toolbox, which he had used for years. Dad usually wore simple blue overalls (工装裤) and strong boots, repairing things around the house, fixing fences, or working in the garage. He had only one or two nice shirts for special days, and almost all his clothes were plain and long-lasting.
“What a fancy kit” he said, shaking his head. “Who would ever want something like that ” Still, as we walked on, he turned back for one last look. “All those tools are beautiful, but maybe they should display something more useful.”
As Father’s Day came near, it seemed that the toolset was soon forgotten. Dad, being very practical, never spent money on costly things. “We have more important things to buy,” he often said. Choosing a gift for him was hard. Whenever we asked, he would only ask for simple things — new gloves, or maybe socks.
On our last trip to town before Father’s Day, as Mom drove down Oak Street, Dad suddenly said, “Look!” He pointed toward Miller’s Hardware as we passed. “That toolset — it’s gone,” he said, sounding surprised. Shaking his head, he added, “Who would pay so much for a set of tools ” But I could hear a bit of wanting in his voice. Not seeing it there made him feel something lost and regretful.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

On Father’s Day, a package was delivered to Dad, with a label saying “the Craftsman’s Dream”,

Out of Sharma’s encouragement, most of the students enter government-run schools, where they can get free textbooks and meals. Later, Sharma offers them help with subjects they struggle with, such as mathematics, English, science, history, and geography. To avoid misunderstandings, he doesn’t take donations in cash, but rather in the form of things that can directly benefit the students, such as clothing, food, books, bottled water, and chairs.
“In India, it is said that the most beautiful lotuses (荷花) are born in the wet, muddy area of lands,” Sharma said, signaling how his students can develop well despite their circumstances — and much to his delight, they have. One of his earliest students has just entered university and shares Sharma’s ambition of one day becoming an engineer. “I didn’t want this generation to lose out just because they are poor,” he said. “Through these children, I get to live my dream.”
4. Why did Sharma start the “Free School of Under the Bridge”
A. To ease the burden for kids. B. To earn a living from teaching.
C. To fulfill his engineering dream. D. To offer no-cost education to kids in need.
5. What can we know about Sharma’s school

Influential UK firm Heatherwick Studio has been arranged to transform an island in Seoul, South Korea, from a wasteland into a public park. The ambitious project, named Soundscape, will feature a raised walkway, greenery filled buildings, and more.
Nodeul Island, which is situated in the Han River, was an unimpressive island that was used to store waste and fenced off from the public, gaining a reputation (名声) as an “obliterated” island as it fell into disuse over the decades. The local government recently decided to re-imagine it as a new tourist attraction for locals and visitors.
It will now be arranged around a central raised walkway. This will include a walkway with a length of 1.25 km (almost 0.8 mile) that draws inspiration from both the patterns of sound waves and Seoul’s surrounding mountainous landscape.
“So often when people use the word culture they mean museums and galleries, but that only speaks to a part of the public,” says the studio founder Thomas Heatherwick. “Instead, Nodeul Island will be one of the most public places that any citizen can enjoy, where sound is central to the whole experience — fixed into the landscape, the installations (装置), and the programming. Soundscape will be somewhere you can breathe and feel alive-an invitation to listen, discover and connect with your fellow citizens.”
Planned ground-level features include a new public beach, with plants and trees. There will also be visitor spaces including recording studios, an art center, concert halls, a waterfront theater, a K-Pop experience center, and a cafe-all of which will feature considerable greenery too.
Construction on Soundscape will take place in stages, allowing ongoing access to parts of the island and it’s expected to be completed in 2028. Heatherwick Studio has a lot of experience with these sorts of projects in recent years, and in addition to the Little Island which has been built, it has also revealed plans for the Cove and the Leaf.
8. Which word has the closest meaning to “obliterated” in paragraph 2
A. Forgotten. B. Polluted. C. Crowded. D. Popularized.
9. What is Thomas Heatherwick’s view on Nodeul Island
A. It will focus on traditional culture. B. It will separate locals from visitors.
C. It will be a private space for artists. D. It will be an accessible space featured sound.
10. What can we infer about Heatherwick Studio
A. It mainly works on artificial islands. B. It is good at rebuilding urban spaces.
C. It has finished the Soundscape project. D. It first proposed the Little Island Project.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. Ways to Build Public Parks in Seoul B. The Creativity of A Famous UK Firm.

Group interactions are an essential part of personal and professional life, and mastering them can significantly benefit our social, work, and personal munication is a complex (复杂的) process, with body language playing a vital role in how messages are perceived and understood. Understanding body language can significantly improve group interactions, making them more positive and productive.
Unlike verbal language, body language often reveals true thoughts and feelings unconsciously. It can share emotions more directly than words. For example, a bright smile and relaxed shoulders usually show happiness, while leaning back means being not interested. Even small movements, like tapping fingers or avoiding eye contact, can suggest nervousness, which words may try to hide.
Gestures are a valuable component of body language, aiding in clarifying and emphasizing spoken messages during group interactions. Skillful use of gestures can help show passion, support understanding, and maintain engagement (参与) within a group setting. Descriptive gestures, such as using hands to illustrate a concept or directional movements to indicate options, can provide visual strengthening to verbal communication. These gestures help ensure that the group can follow the discussion, especially in complex or technical conversations.
However, too much gestures may become distracting or annoying in group settings. The key is to ensure gestures are purposeful and relevant, naturally adding to the verbal message. Practicing consistency (一致性) in gestures that match the tone and content of your speech helps strengthen the intended message, enabling clearer communication and understanding among group members.
Despite its importance, common misunderstandings about body language often cause misinterpretation. A usual one is treating single movements as absolute cues (暗示): many think crossed arms equal defensiveness, but it could just be a comfortable posture or a response to cold. Another is ignoring context-avoiding eye contact in a serious talk might seem dishonest, but it could result from cultural respect for others. These oversimplified judgments ignored the complexity of body language and its influencing factors.
12. What can we learn about the relationship between body language and verbal language
A. Words share emotions more directly. B. Verbal language is more widely used.
C. They have the same cultural meanings. D. Body language is more truthful at times.
13. How can descriptive gestures help group interactions
A Hiding nervousness easily. B. Clarifying the group setting.
C. Emphasizing key points. D. Avoiding communication mistakes.
14. What does the author suggest in paragraph 4
A. Be mindful of overusing gestures. B. Use certain gestures on purpose.
C. Maintain unity in language tones. D. Stick to your intended message.
15. Why people often treat single movements as absolute cues
A. They are often influenced by others. B. They fail to understand other factors.
C. They are used to observing contexts. D. They have simple communication skills.

47. 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。
On a spring evening, my parents, my younger sister Emma, and I stopped outside Miller’s Hardware store (五金店) on our way back home.
Among useful gardening things and handy tools was a great professional toolset (工具包), shining under the soft store lights. Dad’s eyes stayed on it. “Wow,” he said quietly, “look at that.” He then looked down at his own old toolbox, which he had used for years. Dad usually wore simple blue overalls (工装裤) and strong boots, repairing things around the house, fixing fences, or working in the garage. He had only one or two nice shirts for special days, and almost all his clothes were plain and long-lasting.
“What a fancy kit” he said, shaking his head. “Who would ever want something like that ” Still, as we walked on, he turned back for one last look. “All those tools are beautiful, but maybe they should display something more useful.”
As Father’s Day came near, it seemed that the toolset was soon forgotten. Dad, being very practical, never spent money on costly things. “We have more important things to buy,” he often said. Choosing a gift for him was hard. Whenever we asked, he would only ask for simple things — new gloves, or maybe socks.
On our last trip to town before Father’s Day, as Mom drove down Oak Street, Dad suddenly said, “Look!” He pointed toward Miller’s Hardware as we passed. “That toolset — it’s gone,” he said, sounding surprised. Shaking his head, he added, “Who would pay so much for a set of tools ” But I could hear a bit of wanting in his voice. Not seeing it there made him feel something lost and regretful.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
On Father’s Day, a package was delivered to Dad, with a label saying “the Craftsman’s Dream”. He thought it might be something simple — work gloves or a new hat. But when he opened it, he saw “Miller’s Hardware-The Craftsman’s Dream,” just like the one attracted his attention before. He was completely still for a moment, just staring at it surprisingly. Emma and I walked to him and said, “Happy Father’s Day”. Dad was too moved to speak. “the girls saw how much you liked it,” Mom said in a warm voice. “So we got it for you.”
Dad was too moved to say a word when he heard this. “Why not open it and have a look, Dad ” I suggested excitedly. He opened the toolset, looking at each carefully chosen tool with care, a thankful smile spreading across his face. When he held a shiny tool under the sunlight, I saw his face filled with pure joy. “Life can be hard,” he said softly, “but I have the most important thing your love.” His heartfelt words felt like a warm and comforting hug. That’s when I know we had given him a perfect Father’s Day.

A Librarian’s Gratitude List
November always feels like the perfect month to pause and reflect on the small, wonderful things that make my working in Youth Services at the Bartlett Public Library so special. Amid the rush of busy programs, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude. Each day brings new smiles, creativity, and connections that remind me why I love what I do.
Little Moments, Big Smiles
At the top of my list is the energetic kids who greet me every day with big waves and cheerful “Ms. Jessica!” Some days, there’s even a soft hug-or a new drawing to add to my ever-growing collection of crayon masterpieces. Those small gestures never fail to brighten my day.
Volunteers Who Make Magic Happen
I’m also deeply thankful for our outstanding volunteers — the ones who quietly jump in, notice what needs to be done, and do it with a smile. For example, they make decorations for Summer Reading events and guide children through trying crafts (手工). Through it all, I can always count on their energy, kindness, and passion.
The Small Things That Shine
There are so many other things that make me grateful:
The parent who whispers “thank you” as they gather coats and little craft projects after a program.
Moments of encouragement from colleagues — a note, a smile, or a simple “You’ve got this.”
Taking Time to Be Thankful
This November, I encourage you to make your own “Library Gratitude List”. What small things make your days brighter What moments remind you why you chose this work Write them down, share them, or keep them close — you’ll discover just how much joy they bring when you take time to notice.

Rajesh Kumar Sharma is not an ordinary teacher at a regular school. While employed as an engineer at a construction site, he spotted his fellow laborers’ kids playing in a nearby field when they should have been learning. Concerned, he offered them candy and clothes, but he soon found a better, longer-lasting way to help. In 2006, he launched his “Free School of Under the Bridge”, committed to serving underserved kids.
Sharma’s personal history inspired the project. While he inspired to be an engineer, he had to drop out of college due to a lack of financial resources. Now, Sharma hopes to help kids around the Yamuna River — whose parents are often farmers, informal workers, and irregular migrants — avoid the same fate (命运). What started as simple teaching of two children has grown into an open-air school with nearly 300 kids.
Located under a bridge, the free school welcomes kids from the first year of primary to the third year of secondary school. Blackboards have been painted on a wall, and most students sit on carpets or on the dirt floor. Kids are free to come and join a lesson whenever they need to.
Out of Sharma’s encouragement, most of the students enter government-run schools, where they can get free textbooks and meals. Later, Sharma offers them help with subjects they struggle with, such as mathematics, English, science, history, and geography. To avoid misunderstandings, he doesn’t take donations in cash, but rather in the form of things that can directly benefit the students, such as clothing, food, books, bottled water, and chairs.
“In India, it is said that the most beautiful lotuses (荷花) are born in the wet, muddy area of lands,” Sharma said, signaling how his students can develop well despite their circumstances — and much to his delight, they have. One of his earliest students has just entered university and shares Sharma’s ambition of one day becoming an engineer. “I didn’t want this generation to lose out just because they are poor,” he said. “Through these children, I get to live my dream.”
4. Why did Sharma start the “Free School of Under the Bridge”
A. To ease the burden for kids. B. To earn a living from teaching.
C. To fulfill his engineering dream. D. To offer no-cost education to kids in need.
5. What can we know about Sharma’s school
A. It keeps strict attendance. B. It offers children extra academic help.
C. It teaches more than 300 kids. D. It only admits kids of informal workers.
6. Why does Sharma refuse cash donations
A. He tries to avoid potential trouble. B. He plans to run the school by himself.
C. He thinks materials are more beneficial. D. He dislikes dealing with money matters.
7. What does Sharma mean by saying “the most beautiful lotuses are born in the wet, muddy area of lands”
A. Lotuses are his favorite flowers. B. Wetlands are perfect for lotuses.
C. Poor children can also succeed. D. Circumstances decide one’s future.

Group interactions are an essential part of personal and professional life, and mastering them can significantly benefit our social, work, and personal munication is a complex (复杂的) process, with body language playing a vital role in how messages are perceived and understood. Understanding body language can significantly improve group interactions, making them more positive and productive.
Unlike verbal language, body language often reveals true thoughts and feelings unconsciously. It can share emotions more directly than words. For example, a bright smile and relaxed shoulders usually show happiness, while leaning back means being not interested. Even small movements, like tapping fingers or avoiding eye contact, can suggest nervousness, which words may try to hide.
Gestures are a valuable component of body language, aiding in clarifying and emphasizing spoken messages during group interactions. Skillful use of gestures can help show passion, support understanding, and maintain engagement (参与) within a group setting. Descriptive gestures, such as using hands to illustrate a concept or directional movements to indicate options, can provide visual strengthening to verbal communication. These gestures help ensure that the group can follow the discussion, especially in complex or technical conversations.
However, too much gestures may become distracting or annoying in group settings. The key is to ensure gestures are purposeful and relevant, naturally adding to the verbal message. Practicing consistency (一致性) in gestures that match the tone and content of your speech helps strengthen the intended message, enabling clearer communication and understanding among group members.
Despite its importance, common misunderstandings about body language often cause misinterpretation. A usual one is treating single movements as absolute cues (暗示): many think crossed arms equal defensiveness, but it could just be a comfortable posture or a response to cold. Another is ignoring context-avoiding eye contact in a serious talk might seem dishonest, but it could result from cultural respect for others. These oversimplified judgments ignored the complexity of body language and its influencing factors.

C. They have the same cultural meanings. D. Body language is more truthful at times.
13. How can descriptive gestures help group interactions
A Hiding nervousness easily. B. Clarifying the group setting.

47. 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。
On a spring evening, my parents, my younger sister Emma, and I stopped outside Miller’s Hardware store (五金店) on our way back home.
Among useful gardening things and handy tools was a great professional toolset (工具包), shining under the soft store lights. Dad’s eyes stayed on it. “Wow,” he said quietly, “look at that.” He then looked down at his own old toolbox, which he had used for years. Dad usually wore simple blue overalls (工装裤) and strong boots, repairing things around the house, fixing fences, or working in the garage. He had only one or two nice shirts for special days, and almost all his clothes were plain and long-lasting.
“What a fancy kit” he said, shaking his head. “Who would ever want something like that ” Still, as we walked on, he turned back for one last look. “All those tools are beautiful, but maybe they should display something more useful.”
As Father’s Day came near, it seemed that the toolset was soon forgotten. Dad, being very practical, never spent money on costly things. “We have more important things to buy,” he often said. Choosing a gift for him was hard. Whenever we asked, he would only ask for simple things — new gloves, or maybe socks.
On our last trip to town before Father’s Day, as Mom drove down Oak Street, Dad suddenly said, “Look!” He pointed toward Miller’s Hardware as we passed. “That toolset — it’s gone,” he said, sounding surprised. Shaking his head, he added, “Who would pay so much for a set of tools ” But I could hear a bit of wanting in his voice. Not seeing it there made him feel something lost and regretful.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

On Father’s Day, a package was delivered to Dad, with a label saying “the Craftsman’s Dream”,

A Librarian’s Gratitude List
November always feels like the perfect month to pause and reflect on the small, wonderful things that make my working in Youth Services at the Bartlett Public Library so special. Amid the rush of busy programs, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude. Each day brings new smiles, creativity, and connections that remind me why I love what I do.
Little Moments, Big Smiles
At the top of my list is the energetic kids who greet me every day with big waves and cheerful “Ms. Jessica!” Some days, there’s even a soft hug-or a new drawing to add to my ever-growing collection of crayon masterpieces. Those small gestures never fail to brighten my day.
Volunteers Who Make Magic Happen
I’m also deeply thankful for our outstanding volunteers — the ones who quietly jump in, notice what needs to be done, and do it with a smile. For example, they make decorations for Summer Reading events and guide children through trying crafts (手工). Through it all, I can always count on their energy, kindness, and passion.
The Small Things That Shine
There are so many other things that make me grateful:
The parent who whispers “thank you” as they gather coats and little craft projects after a program.
Moments of encouragement from colleagues — a note, a smile, or a simple “You’ve got this.”
Taking Time to Be Thankful
This November, I encourage you to make your own “Library Gratitude List”. What small things make your days brighter What moments remind you why you chose this work Write them down, share them, or keep them close — you’ll discover just how much joy they bring when you take time to notice.

Rajesh Kumar Sharma is not an ordinary teacher at a regular school. While employed as an engineer at a construction site, he spotted his fellow laborers’ kids playing in a nearby field when they should have been learning. Concerned, he offered them candy and clothes, but he soon found a better, longer-lasting way to help. In 2006, he launched his “Free School of Under the Bridge”, committed to serving underserved kids.
Sharma’s personal history inspired the project. While he inspired to be an engineer, he had to drop out of college due to a lack of financial resources. Now, Sharma hopes to help kids around the Yamuna River — whose parents are often farmers, informal workers, and irregular migrants — avoid the same fate (命运). What started as simple teaching of two children has grown into an open-air school with nearly 300 kids.
Located under a bridge, the free school welcomes kids from the first year of primary to the third year of secondary school. Blackboards have been painted on a wall, and most students sit on carpets or on the dirt floor. Kids are free to come and join a lesson whenever they need to.
Out of Sharma’s encouragement, most of the students enter government-run schools, where they can get free textbooks and meals. Later, Sharma offers them help with subjects they struggle with, such as mathematics, English, science, history, and geography. To avoid misunderstandings, he doesn’t take donations in cash, but rather in the form of things that can directly benefit the students, such as clothing, food, books, bottled water, and chairs.
“In India, it is said that the most beautiful lotuses (荷花) are born in the wet, muddy area of lands,” Sharma said, signaling how his students can develop well despite their circumstances — and much to his delight, they have. One of his earliest students has just entered university and shares Sharma’s ambition of one day becoming an engineer. “I didn’t want this generation to lose out just because they are poor,” he said. “Through these children, I get to live my dream.”
4. Why did Sharma start the “Free School of Under the Bridge”
A. To ease the burden for kids. B. To earn a living from teaching.
C. To fulfill his engineering dream. D. To offer no-cost education to kids in need.
5. What can we know about Sharma’s school
A. It keeps strict attendance. B. It offers children extra academic help.
C. It teaches more than 300 kids. D. It only admits kids of informal workers.
6. Why does Sharma refuse cash donations
A. He tries to avoid potential trouble. B. He plans to run the school by himself.
C. He thinks materials are more beneficial. D. He dislikes dealing with money matters.
7. What does Sharma mean by saying “the most beautiful lotuses are born in the wet, muddy area of lands”
A. Lotuses are his favorite flowers. B. Wetlands are perfect for lotuses.
C. Poor children can also succeed. D. Circumstances decide one’s future.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
C
Influential UK firm Heatherwick Studio has been arranged to transform an island in Seoul, South Korea, from a wasteland into a public park. The ambitious project, named Soundscape, will feature a raised walkway, greenery filled buildings, and more.
Nodeul Island, which is situated in the Han River, was an unimpressive island that was used to store waste and fenced off from the public, gaining a reputation (名声) as an “obliterated” island as it fell into disuse over the decades. The local government recently decided to re-imagine it as a new tourist attraction for locals and visitors.
It will now be arranged around a central raised walkway. This will include a walkway with a length of 1.25 km (almost 0.8 mile) that draws inspiration from both the patterns of sound waves and Seoul’s surrounding mountainous landscape.
“So often when people use the word culture they mean museums and galleries, but that only speaks to a part of the public,” says the studio founder Thomas Heatherwick. “Instead, Nodeul Island will be one of the most public places that any citizen can enjoy, where sound is central to the whole experience — fixed into the landscape, the installations (装置), and the programming. Soundscape will be somewhere you can breathe and feel alive-an invitation to listen, discover and connect with your fellow citizens.”
Planned ground-level features include a new public beach, with plants and trees. There will also be visitor spaces including recording studios, an art center, concert halls, a waterfront theater, a K-Pop experience center, and a cafe-all of which will feature considerable greenery too.
Construction on Soundscape will take place in stages, allowing ongoing access to parts of the island and it’s expected to be completed in 2028. Heatherwick Studio has a lot of experience with these sorts of projects in recent years, and in addition to the Little Island which has been built, it has also revealed plans for the Cove and the Leaf.
8. Which word has the closest meaning to “obliterated” in paragraph 2
A. Forgotten. B. Polluted. C. Crowded. D. Popularized.
9. What is Thomas Heatherwick’s view on Nodeul Island
A. It will focus on traditional culture. B. It will separate locals from visitors.
C. It will be a private space for artists. D. It will be an accessible space featured sound.
10. What can we infer about Heatherwick Studio
A. It mainly works on artificial islands. B. It is good at rebuilding urban spaces.
C. It has finished the Soundscape project. D. It first proposed the Little Island Project.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. Ways to Build Public Parks in Seoul B. The Creativity of A Famous UK Firm.
C. Nodeul Island’s Transformation Plan D. Heatherwick Studio’s Successful Projects
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
D
Group interactions are an essential part of personal and professional life, and mastering them can significantly benefit our social, work, and personal munication is a complex (复杂的) process, with body language playing a vital role in how messages are perceived and understood. Understanding body language can significantly improve group interactions, making them more positive and productive.
Unlike verbal language, body language often reveals true thoughts and feelings unconsciously. It can share emotions more directly than words. For example, a bright smile and relaxed shoulders usually show happiness, while leaning back means being not interested. Even small movements, like tapping fingers or avoiding eye contact, can suggest nervousness, which words may try to hide.
Gestures are a valuable component of body language, aiding in clarifying and emphasizing spoken messages during group interactions. Skillful use of gestures can help show passion, support understanding, and maintain engagement (参与) within a group setting. Descriptive gestures, such as using hands to illustrate a concept or directional movements to indicate options, can provide visual strengthening to verbal communication. These gestures help ensure that the group can follow the discussion, especially in complex or technical conversations.
However, too much gestures may become distracting or annoying in group settings. The key is to ensure gestures are purposeful and relevant, naturally adding to the verbal message. Practicing consistency (一致性) in gestures that match the tone and content of your speech helps strengthen the intended message, enabling clearer communication and understanding among group members.
Despite its importance, common misunderstandings about body language often cause misinterpretation. A usual one is treating single movements as absolute cues (暗示): many think crossed arms equal defensiveness, but it could just be a comfortable posture or a response to cold. Another is ignoring context-avoiding eye contact in a serious talk might seem dishonest, but it could result from cultural respect for others. These oversimplified judgments ignored the complexity of body language and its influencing factors.
12. What can we learn about the relationship between body language and verbal language
A. Words share emotions more directly. B. Verbal language is more widely used.
C. They have the same cultural meanings. D. Body language is more truthful at times.
13. How can descriptive gestures help group interactions
A Hiding nervousness easily. B. Clarifying the group setting.
C. Emphasizing key points. D. Avoiding communication mistakes.
14. What does the author suggest in paragraph 4
A. Be mindful of overusing gestures. B. Use certain gestures on purpose.
C. Maintain unity in language tones. D. Stick to your intended message.
15. Why people often treat single movements as absolute cues
A. They are often influenced by others. B. They fail to understand other factors.
C. They are used to observing contexts. D. They have simple communication skills.

47. 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。
On a spring evening, my parents, my younger sister Emma, and I stopped outside Miller’s Hardware store (五金店) on our way back home.
Among useful gardening things and handy tools was a great professional toolset (工具包), shining under the soft store lights. Dad’s eyes stayed on it. “Wow,” he said quietly, “look at that.” He then looked down at his own old toolbox, which he had used for years. Dad usually wore simple blue overalls (工装裤) and strong boots, repairing things around the house, fixing fences, or working in the garage. He had only one or two nice shirts for special days, and almost all his clothes were plain and long-lasting.
“What a fancy kit” he said, shaking his head. “Who would ever want something like that ” Still, as we walked on, he turned back for one last look. “All those tools are beautiful, but maybe they should display something more useful.”
As Father’s Day came near, it seemed that the toolset was soon forgotten. Dad, being very practical, never spent money on costly things. “We have more important things to buy,” he often said. Choosing a gift for him was hard. Whenever we asked, he would only ask for simple things — new gloves, or maybe socks.
On our last trip to town before Father’s Day, as Mom drove down Oak Street, Dad suddenly said, “Look!” He pointed toward Miller’s Hardware as we passed. “That toolset — it’s gone,” he said, sounding surprised. Shaking his head, he added, “Who would pay so much for a set of tools ” But I could hear a bit of wanting in his voice. Not seeing it there made him feel something lost and regretful.

【答案】
On Father’s Day, a package was delivered to Dad, with a label saying “the Craftsman’s Dream”. He thought it might be something simple — work gloves or a new hat. But when he opened it, he saw “Miller’s Hardware-The Craftsman’s Dream,” just like the one attracted his attention before. He was completely still for a moment, just staring at it surprisingly. Emma and I walked to him and said, “Happy Father’s Day”. Dad was too moved to speak. “the girls saw how much you liked it,” Mom said in a warm voice. “So we got it for you.”
Dad was too moved to say a word when he heard this. “Why not open it and have a look, Dad ” I suggested excitedly. He opened the toolset, looking at each carefully chosen tool with care, a thankful smile spreading across his face. When he held a shiny tool under the sunlight, I saw his face filled with pure joy. “Life can be hard,” he said softly, “but I have the most important thing your love.” His heartfelt words felt like a warm and comforting hug. That’s when I know we had given him a perfect Father’s Day.
