A
UNESCO World Heritage Sites were created to celebrate and safeguard the most unique places around the world. Below are my 4 favorite UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Cinque Terre, Italy
With cars banned here, you’ll really get to feel the unique history and character of the Cinque Terre’s five centuries-old coastal villages. The breathtaking views of harbors far below the wild coastline along with the rich colors will definitely make it a memorable holiday.
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious (宗教的) monument and it contains impressive remains from the Khmer Empire (9th to 15th century). The site has dozens of iconic temples like Ta Prohm (a magnificent temple ruin hidden in the jungle). Hosting more than two million visitors annually, this artistic masterpiece is a must-see site.
Petra, Jordan
Petra’s rock-cut architecture has contributed to its nickname, the Rose City, based on the color of the stone it was carved from. The delicate constructions of temples and tombs along with the remains of churches and temples are only a couple of reasons why this world-famous site is a must-visit destination.
Yellowstone National Park, USA
Yellowstone’s vast wilderness includes mountain ranges, lakes and waterfalls. One of the main reasons for tourists to visit Yellowstone is to observe the amazing wildlife like grizzly bear, bison, bighorn sheep wander the plains and valleys.
For a daily moment of travel inspiration, click here to follow me.

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher I do, mine. Her name was Mrs. White.
I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes. Why she never red-pencilled in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait...” What my mother gave me was the gist of what she could remember. But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that.
And it occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more precisely I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher — to restrain (限制) her red pen. To allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression flower — however faultily — like that.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. I never could quite remember that the “e” went before the “a”. It annoyed my teacher in high school endlessly. Eventually the “e” s and “a” s that were wrong placed in “beautiful” settled into their right places. I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. “Pretty” is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs. White I had no concerns about writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t pretty. It’s beautiful.
4. What worried his mother when the author was in kindergarten
A. The teacher’s little attention to the author’s mistakes.
B. The teacher’s terrible attitude to the author.
C. The author’s unwillingness to go to school.
D. The author’s failure in exams and scrawl in homework.
5. What does the underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Increase. B. Inspire. C. Awaken. D. Reduce.
6. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph
A. The author finally succeeded in spelling “beautiful” correctly.
B. The teacher in high school disliked the author.
C. The author owed all his own spelling problems to Mrs. White.
D. The author preferred using the word “pretty”.
7. Which of the following can be used to describe Mrs. White
A. Humorous and kind. B. Warm-hearted and careful.
C. Honest and brave. D. Far-sighted and understanding.
C
Everybody hates rats. But in the areas where there are many earthquakes, rats will soon be man’s friends.
What happens after an earthquake We send in rescue (营救) dogs. Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornel University, New York says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).”
8. Why are rats used in the new research project
A. They are smarter than dogs. B. They are more curious.
C. They can reach smaller spaces. D. They are more popular than dogs.
9. What is the purpose of the new research project
A. To make a comparison. B. To help rescue people.
C. To reduce the work of rescuers. D. To charge robots.
10. What’s Julie Ryan’s attitude towards “rat project”
A. Negative B. Neutral C. Positive D. Opposed
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. The ways to rescue survivors.
B. Rats are man’s new best friends.
C. Rats can be trained to help find survivors after the earthquake.
D. Man will be happy to see a rat in the building.
D
If you thought running was just great for the body, then think again. Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power (脑力).
The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains better memories and clearer thinking. They also found that unfit people tended to have smaller brains and reduced cognitive skills. The findings add to a growing body of evidence which links exercise with helping protect the brain against ageing (老化) and also helping it replace dying cells (死细胞). This might reduce the risk of many illnesses and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
One research paper within its latest issue sees scientists at Kentucky University putting 30 adults aged 59-69 on a treadmill (跑步机). Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60-77. As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”
12. Who tend to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking
A. People who are healthy. B. People who are thin.
C. People who are unhealthy. D. People who are fat.
13. What do we learn from the experiment in paragraph 3
A. Those who were less fit had larger brains.
B. Those who were fitter had smaller brains.
C. Exercise helps people improve their memory.
D. Old people doing exercise improve memory better than young people.
14. According to Linda Clare, which of the following statements is correct about moderate-intensity aerobic activities and their effects on the brain
A. Singing is a great moderate-intensity aerobic activity that can improve your brain power a lot.
B. Linda Clare said that only running can change the brain’s structure and function.
C. Walking, cycling, and running are all moderate-intensity aerobic activities that might help change the brain for the better.
D. All exercises, even just stretching, can make your brain work better according to Linda Clare.
15. What’s the main idea that the author wants to convey through his article
A. Running is the best way to keep fit.
B. Exercise can help improve our physical health only.
C. Scientists have discovered why exercise is good for the brain.
D. Engaging in sports can benefit both our body and brain, especially in improving brain power.

Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait...” What my mother gave me was the gist of what she could remember. But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that.
And it occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more precisely I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher — to restrain (限制) her red pen. To allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression flower — however faultily — like that.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. I never could quite remember that the “e” went before the “a”. It annoyed my teacher in high school endlessly. Eventually the “e” s and “a” s that were wrong placed in “beautiful” settled into their right places. I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. “Pretty” is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs. White I had no concerns about writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t pretty. It’s beautiful.

Everybody hates rats. But in the areas where there are many earthquakes, rats will soon be man’s friends.
What happens after an earthquake We send in rescue (营救) dogs. Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornel University, New York says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).”
8. Why are rats used in the new research project
A. They are smarter than dogs. B. They are more curious.
C. They can reach smaller spaces. D. They are more popular than dogs.
9. What is the purpose of the new research project
A. To make a comparison. B. To help rescue people.
C. To reduce the work of rescuers. D. To charge robots.
10. What’s Julie Ryan’s attitude towards “rat project”
A. Negative B. Neutral C. Positive D. Opposed
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. The ways to rescue survivors.
B. Rats are man’s new best friends.
C. Rats can be trained to help find survivors after the earthquake.
D. Man will be happy to see a rat in the building.

If you thought running was just great for the body, then think again. Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power (脑力).
The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains better memories and clearer thinking. They also found that unfit people tended to have smaller brains and reduced cognitive skills. The findings add to a growing body of evidence which links exercise with helping protect the brain against ageing (老化) and also helping it replace dying cells (死细胞). This might reduce the risk of many illnesses and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
One research paper within its latest issue sees scientists at Kentucky University putting 30 adults aged 59-69 on a treadmill (跑步机). Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60-77. As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”
12. Who tend to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking
A. People who are healthy. B. People who are thin.
C. People who are unhealthy. D. People who are fat.
13. What do we learn from the experiment in paragraph 3
A. Those who were less fit had larger brains.
B. Those who were fitter had smaller brains.
C. Exercise helps people improve their memory.
D. Old people doing exercise improve memory better than young people.
14. According to Linda Clare, which of the following statements is correct about moderate-intensity aerobic activities and their effects on the brain
A. Singing is a great moderate-intensity aerobic activity that can improve your brain power a lot.
B. Linda Clare said that only running can change the brain’s structure and function.
C. Walking, cycling, and running are all moderate-intensity aerobic activities that might help change the brain for the better.
D. All exercises, even just stretching, can make your brain work better according to Linda Clare.
15. What’s the main idea that the author wants to convey through his article
A. Running is the best way to keep fit.
B. Exercise can help improve our physical health only.
C. Scientists have discovered why exercise is good for the brain.
D. Engaging in sports can benefit both our body and brain, especially in improving brain power.

【答案】One possible version:
The Person I Admire Most
The person I admire most is my neighbor, Ms. Zhang, a retired nurse who still volunteers at community clinics. She provides free medical consultations to elderly residents every weekend.
What inspires me most is her selflessness. Last winter, when an old man collapsed in our neighborhood, she performed CPR in the snow for 15 minutes until the ambulance arrived, saving his life. Her actions prove ordinary people’s ability to do extraordinary things.
From her, I’ve learned true greatness lies in serving others. Now I volunteer at an animal shelter, understanding that small acts of kindness can make our world better.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites were created to celebrate and safeguard the most unique places around the world. Below are my 4 favorite UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Cinque Terre, Italy
With cars banned here, you’ll really get to feel the unique history and character of the Cinque Terre’s five centuries-old coastal villages. The breathtaking views of harbors far below the wild coastline along with the rich colors will definitely make it a memorable holiday.
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious (宗教的) monument and it contains impressive remains from the Khmer Empire (9th to 15th century). The site has dozens of iconic temples like Ta Prohm (a magnificent temple ruin hidden in the jungle). Hosting more than two million visitors annually, this artistic masterpiece is a must-see site.
Petra, Jordan
Petra’s rock-cut architecture has contributed to its nickname, the Rose City, based on the color of the stone it was carved from. The delicate constructions of temples and tombs along with the remains of churches and temples are only a couple of reasons why this world-famous site is a must-visit destination.
Yellowstone National Park, USA
Yellowstone’s vast wilderness includes mountain ranges, lakes and waterfalls. One of the main reasons for tourists to visit Yellowstone is to observe the amazing wildlife like grizzly bear, bison, bighorn sheep wander the plains and valleys.

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher I do, mine. Her name was Mrs. White.
I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes. Why she never red-pencilled in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait...” What my mother gave me was the gist of what she could remember. But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that.
And it occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more precisely I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher — to restrain (限制) her red pen. To allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression flower — however faultily — like that.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. I never could quite remember that the “e” went before the “a”. It annoyed my teacher in high school endlessly. Eventually the “e” s and “a” s that were wrong placed in “beautiful” settled into their right places. I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. “Pretty” is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs. White I had no concerns about writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t pretty. It’s beautiful.
4. What worried his mother when the author was in kindergarten
A. The teacher’s little attention to the author’s mistakes.
B. The teacher’s terrible attitude to the author.
C. The author’s unwillingness to go to school.
D. The author’s failure in exams and scrawl in homework.
5. What does the underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Increase. B. Inspire. C. Awaken. D. Reduce.
6. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph
A. The author finally succeeded in spelling “beautiful” correctly.
B. The teacher in high school disliked the author.
C. The author owed all his own spelling problems to Mrs. White.
D. The author preferred using the word “pretty”.
7. Which of the following can be used to describe Mrs. White
A. Humorous and kind. B. Warm-hearted and careful.
C. Honest and brave. D. Far-sighted and understanding.
C

Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60-77. As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”

UNESCO World Heritage Sites were created to celebrate and safeguard the most unique places around the world. Below are my 4 favorite UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Cinque Terre, Italy
With cars banned here, you’ll really get to feel the unique history and character of the Cinque Terre’s five centuries-old coastal villages. The breathtaking views of harbors far below the wild coastline along with the rich colors will definitely make it a memorable holiday.
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious (宗教的) monument and it contains impressive remains from the Khmer Empire (9th to 15th century). The site has dozens of iconic temples like Ta Prohm (a magnificent temple ruin hidden in the jungle). Hosting more than two million visitors annually, this artistic masterpiece is a must-see site.
Petra, Jordan
Petra’s rock-cut architecture has contributed to its nickname, the Rose City, based on the color of the stone it was carved from. The delicate constructions of temples and tombs along with the remains of churches and temples are only a couple of reasons why this world-famous site is a must-visit destination.
Yellowstone National Park, USA
Yellowstone’s vast wilderness includes mountain ranges, lakes and waterfalls. One of the main reasons for tourists to visit Yellowstone is to observe the amazing wildlife like grizzly bear, bison, bighorn sheep wander the plains and valleys.

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher I do, mine. Her name was Mrs. White.
I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes. Why she never red-pencilled in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait...” What my mother gave me was the gist of what she could remember. But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that.
And it occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more precisely I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher — to restrain (限制) her red pen. To allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression flower — however faultily — like that.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. I never could quite remember that the “e” went before the “a”. It annoyed my teacher in high school endlessly. Eventually the “e” s and “a” s that were wrong placed in “beautiful” settled into their right places. I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. “Pretty” is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs. White I had no concerns about writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t pretty. It’s beautiful.
4. What worried his mother when the author was in kindergarten
A. The teacher’s little attention to the author’s mistakes.
B. The teacher’s terrible attitude to the author.
C. The author’s unwillingness to go to school.
D. The author’s failure in exams and scrawl in homework.
5. What does the underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Increase. B. Inspire. C. Awaken. D. Reduce.
6. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph
A. The author finally succeeded in spelling “beautiful” correctly.
B. The teacher in high school disliked the author.
C. The author owed all his own spelling problems to Mrs. White.
D. The author preferred using the word “pretty”.
7. Which of the following can be used to describe Mrs. White
A. Humorous and kind. B. Warm-hearted and careful.
C. Honest and brave. D. Far-sighted and understanding.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. D
C
Everybody hates rats. But in the areas where there are many earthquakes, rats will soon be man’s friends.
What happens after an earthquake We send in rescue (营救) dogs. Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornel University, New York says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).”
8. Why are rats used in the new research project
A. They are smarter than dogs. B. They are more curious.
C. They can reach smaller spaces. D. They are more popular than dogs.
9. What is the purpose of the new research project
A. To make a comparison. B. To help rescue people.
C. To reduce the work of rescuers. D. To charge robots.
10. What’s Julie Ryan’s attitude towards “rat project”
A. Negative B. Neutral C. Positive D. Opposed
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. The ways to rescue survivors.
B. Rats are man’s new best friends.
C. Rats can be trained to help find survivors after the earthquake.
D. Man will be happy to see a rat in the building.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. C
D
If you thought running was just great for the body, then think again. Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power (脑力).
The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains better memories and clearer thinking. They also found that unfit people tended to have smaller brains and reduced cognitive skills. The findings add to a growing body of evidence which links exercise with helping protect the brain against ageing (老化) and also helping it replace dying cells (死细胞). This might reduce the risk of many illnesses and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
One research paper within its latest issue sees scientists at Kentucky University putting 30 adults aged 59-69 on a treadmill (跑步机). Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60-77. As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”
12. Who tend to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking
A. People who are healthy. B. People who are thin.
C. People who are unhealthy. D. People who are fat.
13. What do we learn from the experiment in paragraph 3
A. Those who were less fit had larger brains.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The Person I Admire Most
The person I admire most is my neighbor, Ms. Zhang, a retired nurse who still volunteers at community clinics. She provides free medical consultations to elderly residents every weekend.
What inspires me most is her selflessness. Last winter, when an old man collapsed in our neighborhood, she performed CPR in the snow for 15 minutes until the ambulance arrived, saving his life. Her actions prove ordinary people’s ability to do extraordinary things.
From her, I’ve learned true greatness lies in serving others. Now I volunteer at an animal shelter, understanding that small acts of kindness can make our world better.
