Working out by yourself can be a blast if you find an activity that motivates you to get up and move. Below, we list the top 3 workout apps, followed by guidance on choosing the best one for your long-term health.
●Apple Fitness+
The app allows you to create custom plans based on class duration, music preferences, trainers, and more. A free one-month trial is available, after which the cost is a reasonable $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. It also comes with an Apple One Premier Subscription ($37.95 per month). If you use Apple’s Family Sharing, up to five family members can use the membership at no additional cost. If you purchase an Apple device, you can take advantage of Apple Fitness+ with a three-month trial.
●StretchIt
Don’t let your assumptions about stretching mislead you — StretchIt includes some tough sessions that work your full body and might even leave you sweating. When you open the app each day, you know exactly what you’re supposed to do. A monthly membership is pricey at $19.99; the $159.99-per-year membership is a better deal. Take advantage of the seven-day free trial and try out some free sessions before you start paying.
●Strava
Strava offers access to over 30 types of sports, making it perfect for those who love to cycle, hike, rock, run, or swim. One of its key features is that it collects and compares workout data from all users, allowing you to challenge yourself and see how you rank against others on the same stretch of road or trail. The free version offers plenty to get you started, but to unlock the full potential of Strava, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid membership ($79.99 per year). A 30-day trial is also available.

Bill Sumiel, 71, was having a difficult day. In October 2020, he found himself at a medical center 30 miles from home for the second time in 24 hours. He suffered from kidney (肾脏) failure and had been on dialysis (透析) for years. The day before, his brother drove him for a routine procedure, but the dialysis port blocked again that night.
With no one to drive him the next day, Bill took a Uber.
Timothy Letts, 31, was driving to visit a friend when he received Bill’s ride request. It was out of his way, but he accepted, thinking someone from a medical center might need help. “Bill really lit up the car with positive energy,” says Letts, who shared with Sumiel that he was a proud Army veteran. Sumiel mentioned that in the past he’d enjoyed volunteering at his church and in his community. But he was doing less these days, he explained, because the dialysis treatments left him exhausted.
Then Sumiel revealed that he was searching for a kidney donor. Letts joked that he’d be a good donor candidate, given that he didn’t drink or smoke. Sumiel agreed, though he didn’t think much of it as they kept. Letts, however, couldn’t stop thinking about it. Letts believes in helping others, so donating a kidney “was something that was always on my mind,” he says. Plus, he already liked and respected Sumiel.
Bill was shocked. He was touched by Letts’s offer, though he wondered if it had just been an emotional moment. Would he hear from him And what was the likelihood they’d be a match But a few hours later, Timothy contacted him. Soon, he began the donor screening process. Months later, tests showed they were a perfect match.
In December 2021, the transplant was successfully done. Nowadays, Bill no longer needs dialysis and lives a healthy life. Timothy has moved to Germany for work, but they still keep in touch. “Living donors are special people,” Bill says gratefully.
24. What is the reason for Bill to go to the medical center again in 24 hours
A. A routine procedure. B. A dialysis port reblockage.
C. A dislike to the repeated treatments. D. An unavailable ride from his brother.
25. What made Timothy accept Bill’s ride request
A. The high payment for the trip. B. His recalling Bill from before.
C. His being on his way to a friend. D. The feeling that the passenger needed help.
26. How did Bill feel soon after Timothy’s offer
A. Polite but confused. B. Happy and touched.
C. Relieved and confident. D. Surprised yet doubtful.
27. What does the author want to show through the story
A. Health is everything in life. B. Uber drivers have unique stories.
C. Kindness appears unexpectedly. D. Technology can help solve medical problems.
C
Dyslexia has been seen as a disorder for people who are unable to read. But today, it should be seen as a difference, not a disease, said by researchers at the University of Cambridge.
Studies show that people with dyslexia have brains that are good at exploring the unknown and thinking about the bigger picture. The strengths of the dyslexic brain may have developed as humans adapted. To survive, we needed to learn skills but also be creative and find new solutions. Dr. Taylor and Dr. Vestergaard say this led to an evolutionary (进化的) trade-off. Some people became specialists in using known information, while others, like many with dyslexia, focused on discovery and invention.
“In many fields, it is understood that adaptive systems need a compromise between exploring and exploiting to survive,” said Taylor. People with dyslexia are often less efficient at procedural learning. This type of learning is used for skills like reading, writing, or playing the piano. Once learned, these skills become automatic. “However, once a skill is automatic, you use the same information again and again,” Taylor added. “If someone has difficulty making a skill automatic, they stay more aware of the process. The good side is that the skill can still be improved.”
Dyslexia has long been viewed negatively and no present cure exists. By looking at past studies, the researchers found that the dyslexic brain is wired differently. It has more long-distance connections and fewer local connections, which helps with “big picture” thinking. Because these thinking styles evolved to work together, they are best when combined. Bringing explorative thinkers together with detail-oriented thinkers leads to more creative solutions.
In reframing dyslexia as a difference, society can benefit from more innovative solutions, said Taylor. “It’s important to emphasize that people with dyslexia still face a lot of difficulties, but the difficulties exist because of the environment and an emphasis on rote learning (机械记忆式学习) and reading and writing. Instead, we could nurture ‘explorative learning’ — learning through discovery, invention and creativity, which would work more to their strengths.”
28. What does the underlined word “trade-off” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Balance. B. Conflict. C. Exchange. D. Improvement.
29. What challenge do people with dyslexia face in procedural learning
A. They seldom improve skills. B. They fail to focus on the process.
C. They struggle to make skills automatic. D. They are unable to learn skills quickly.
30. What is the finding of the Cambridge researchers regarding dyslexia
A. It is a curable disorder.
B. It prevents all procedural learning.
C. It is caused by a lack of society’s emphasis on rote learning.
D. It shows a different but potentially beneficial brain wiring.
31. What is the purpose of text
A. To explain the causes for dyslexia.
B. To criticize the education system.
C. To argue for a shift in the view of dyslexia.
D. To compare the dyslexic people and non-dyslexic people.
D
Even young children know that chocolate is a treat, to be enjoyed on special occasions. But the “dark” type, which has more cocoa (可可粉), is said to be healthier and even as a health-booster that can relieve all manner of problems, from high blood pressure to depression. Many studies, often paid for by Big Chocolate, suggest this may be true. Yet the best research shows otherwise.
Dark chocolate’s claimed benefits mainly come from flavanols (黄烷醇), which are particularly rich in cocoa. A large-scale 2015 U.S. study measured the effects of daily tablets with 500mg of cocoa flavanols (To get that amount you would need to eat between 50g — or half a bar — and 280g of dark chocolate, depending on its flavanol concentration). The result showed that flavanols made little difference to diabetes, strokes, or cancer. They did, however, lead to a 27% reduction in deaths from cardiovascular (心血管) disease.
Alas, this positive result is not proof that dark chocolate is heart-healthy. Getting those 500mg of flavanols from it means consuming lots of sugar, which is added in large amounts by manufacturers to counter the bitterness of cocoa. It also means consuming more than half (for men) or 70% (for women) of the recommended daily maximum of saturated fats, which are bad for the heart. A better option for adding cocoa flavanols to your diet may be cocoa powder. All told, though, the healthiest flavanol-boosting method is to eat more fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
Two apples, a portion of nuts and a large serving of strawberries provide roughly 500mg of flavanols. If you decide to treat yourself to some chocolate every now and then, don’t sweat about finding the darkest variety. Some very dark chocolates contain few flavanols, whereas some milk varieties have lots. Sadly for chocoholics, who just can’t stop themselves from reaching for one more square of chocolate, the health claims for dark chocolate come from advertising tricks, not the findings of science.
32. What can we know about dark chocolate in the first paragraph
A. Children are aware of its health benefits.
B. Studies prove it to be a health-booster.
C. The dark color makes it a healthier choice.
D Marketing can affect its health image.
33. What does the result of the 2015 U.S. study imply about flavanols
A. They made a difference to diabetes. B. They cured heart-related diseases.
C. They relieved the problem of depression. D. They reduced death risks to some degree.
34. The consumption of sugar is mentioned in Paragraph 3 mainly to show ________.
A. cocoa powder is a far better source of flavanols
B. dark chocolate cannot reduce cardiovascular deaths
C. risks from dark chocolate may outweigh its benefits
D. dark chocolate contains various necessary nutrients
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Is Dark Chocolate Actually Healthy B. Dark Chocolate: Bitter Choice, Better Heart
C. Cocoa Flavanols: the Health Secret D. Is Chocolate Healthier Than Expected
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever made a promise to yourself that you didn’t keep Commonly, when the new year ticks over, we make resolutions: going to the gym, studying harder or giving up a bad habit. ___36___ But what if you want to create a new good habit Well, it’s possible.
The basic idea of a habit is something we do almost unconsciously, as if you’re on autopilot. An example of this would be having breakfast or saying “please” and “thank you”. ___37___ But if we don’t have those habits, how can we create them According to a study published by the European Journal of Social Psychology, it takes an average of 66 days to form a new habit. However, relying only on determination may not be the answer.
___38___ Do you want to lose weight because you want to be healthier or feel more attractive The issue is, willpower could be subject to your mood-a bad mood may mean you don’t want to do something.
You should also avoid trying to change too much at once—remember that it’s a case of baby steps. Giving up all your favourite foods at once will probably result in failure rather than sustainable practice. If it happens, don’t worry about failing. ___39___
Finally, don’t do things outside your comfort zone. If you hate mushrooms, don’t persevere and try to add them to your diet just to be healthier. ___40___ After all, what you enjoy might be healthy as well.
Creating new habits might not be quick, but if you follow these tips, you may be able to change something for the better or kick a bad habit.
A. Just start again!
B. Eat something you like!
C. Celebrate every small step you take.
D. Sadly, soon we often end up breaking them.
E. Good habits can be part of your daily routine.
F. Keep exploring until you find a healthy food.
G. Questioning why rather than making up your minds could be the key.

67. 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。
I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I would often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case.
One day Brian and I wandered into an electronics store. My eyes landed on a cool camera lens (镜头) — its metal body shone under the lights. As the school photographer, I needed it to take better photos for the newspaper. But it cost $50! Just as I leaned in for a closer look, Brian pulled my sleeve, whispering eagerly, “Look! The new adventure game I’ve been waiting for!” However, neither of us had enough pocket money. We left in disappointment.
Several days later, our school had a pumpkin-carving contest. The first prize was $100, and I knew I could use the money to buy the lens. So I decided the first place bonus (奖金) definitely had to land in my pocket.
When it was time to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, I suddenly realized my big, clumsy fingers would surely mess it up. I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands — he was the man for the job. I immediately asked Brian for help. After thinking for a while, he asked for a cut of the prize money, fifty-fifty, as he wanted to buy the game. I figured out that splitting the first prize would still leave me enough for the lens. So, I agreed. With skillful hands, Brian carved a perfect face, and we handed over the pumpkin, firmly believing we would win the first prize.
On the day of the awards ceremony where the results would be announced, Brian was sick with a cold. I had to go to the awards ceremony alone.
However, something unexpected happened: we got second place. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every dollar of that to buy the lens. When the principal gave the money to me, I received it with a heavy heart.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
When I came home, Brian asked if we had won.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the money we won, we went to the store the next day.

Bill Sumiel, 71, was having a difficult day. In October 2020, he found himself at a medical center 30 miles from home for the second time in 24 hours. He suffered from kidney (肾脏) failure and had been on dialysis (透析) for years. The day before, his brother drove him for a routine procedure, but the dialysis port blocked again that night.
With no one to drive him the next day, Bill took a Uber.
Timothy Letts, 31, was driving to visit a friend when he received Bill’s ride request. It was out of his way, but he accepted, thinking someone from a medical center might need help. “Bill really lit up the car with positive energy,” says Letts, who shared with Sumiel that he was a proud Army veteran. Sumiel mentioned that in the past he’d enjoyed volunteering at his church and in his community. But he was doing less these days, he explained, because the dialysis treatments left him exhausted.
Then Sumiel revealed that he was searching for a kidney donor. Letts joked that he’d be a good donor candidate, given that he didn’t drink or smoke. Sumiel agreed, though he didn’t think much of it as they kept. Letts, however, couldn’t stop thinking about it. Letts believes in helping others, so donating a kidney “was something that was always on my mind,” he says. Plus, he already liked and respected Sumiel.
Bill was shocked. He was touched by Letts’s offer, though he wondered if it had just been an emotional moment. Would he hear from him And what was the likelihood they’d be a match But a few hours later, Timothy contacted him. Soon, he began the donor screening process. Months later, tests showed they were a perfect match.
In December 2021, the transplant was successfully done. Nowadays, Bill no longer needs dialysis and lives a healthy life. Timothy has moved to Germany for work, but they still keep in touch. “Living donors are special people,” Bill says gratefully.
24. What is the reason for Bill to go to the medical center again in 24 hours
A. A routine procedure. B. A dialysis port reblockage.
C. A dislike to the repeated treatments. D. An unavailable ride from his brother.
25. What made Timothy accept Bill’s ride request
A. The high payment for the trip. B. His recalling Bill from before.
C. His being on his way to a friend. D. The feeling that the passenger needed help.
26. How did Bill feel soon after Timothy’s offer
A. Polite but confused. B. Happy and touched.
C. Relieved and confident. D. Surprised yet doubtful.
27. What does the author want to show through the story
A. Health is everything in life. B. Uber drivers have unique stories.
C. Kindness appears unexpectedly. D. Technology can help solve medical problems.

Dyslexia has been seen as a disorder for people who are unable to read. But today, it should be seen as a difference, not a disease, said by researchers at the University of Cambridge.
Studies show that people with dyslexia have brains that are good at exploring the unknown and thinking about the bigger picture. The strengths of the dyslexic brain may have developed as humans adapted. To survive, we needed to learn skills but also be creative and find new solutions. Dr. Taylor and Dr. Vestergaard say this led to an evolutionary (进化的) trade-off. Some people became specialists in using known information, while others, like many with dyslexia, focused on discovery and invention.
“In many fields, it is understood that adaptive systems need a compromise between exploring and exploiting to survive,” said Taylor. People with dyslexia are often less efficient at procedural learning. This type of learning is used for skills like reading, writing, or playing the piano. Once learned, these skills become automatic. “However, once a skill is automatic, you use the same information again and again,” Taylor added. “If someone has difficulty making a skill automatic, they stay more aware of the process. The good side is that the skill can still be improved.”
Dyslexia has long been viewed negatively and no present cure exists. By looking at past studies, the researchers found that the dyslexic brain is wired differently. It has more long-distance connections and fewer local connections, which helps with “big picture” thinking. Because these thinking styles evolved to work together, they are best when combined. Bringing explorative thinkers together with detail-oriented thinkers leads to more creative solutions.
In reframing dyslexia as a difference, society can benefit from more innovative solutions, said Taylor. “It’s important to emphasize that people with dyslexia still face a lot of difficulties, but the difficulties exist because of the environment and an emphasis on rote learning (机械记忆式学习) and reading and writing. Instead, we could nurture ‘explorative learning’ — learning through discovery, invention and creativity, which would work more to their strengths.”
28. What does the underlined word “trade-off” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Balance. B. Conflict. C. Exchange. D. Improvement.
29. What challenge do people with dyslexia face in procedural learning
A. They seldom improve skills. B. They fail to focus on the process.
C. They struggle to make skills automatic. D. They are unable to learn skills quickly.
30. What is the finding of the Cambridge researchers regarding dyslexia
A. It is a curable disorder.
B. It prevents all procedural learning.
C. It is caused by a lack of society’s emphasis on rote learning.
D. It shows a different but potentially beneficial brain wiring.
31. What is the purpose of text
A. To explain the causes for dyslexia.
B. To criticize the education system.
C. To argue for a shift in the view of dyslexia.
D. To compare the dyslexic people and non-dyslexic people.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. C
D
Even young children know that chocolate is a treat, to be enjoyed on special occasions. But the “dark” type, which has more cocoa (可可粉), is said to be healthier and even as a health-booster that can relieve all manner of problems, from high blood pressure to depression. Many studies, often paid for by Big Chocolate, suggest this may be true. Yet the best research shows otherwise.
Dark chocolate’s claimed benefits mainly come from flavanols (黄烷醇), which are particularly rich in cocoa. A large-scale 2015 U.S. study measured the effects of daily tablets with 500mg of cocoa flavanols (To get that amount you would need to eat between 50g — or half a bar — and 280g of dark chocolate, depending on its flavanol concentration). The result showed that flavanols made little difference to diabetes, strokes, or cancer. They did, however, lead to a 27% reduction in deaths from cardiovascular (心血管) disease.
Alas, this positive result is not proof that dark chocolate is heart-healthy. Getting those 500mg of flavanols from it means consuming lots of sugar, which is added in large amounts by manufacturers to counter the bitterness of cocoa. It also means consuming more than half (for men) or 70% (for women) of the recommended daily maximum of saturated fats, which are bad for the heart. A better option for adding cocoa flavanols to your diet may be cocoa powder. All told, though, the healthiest flavanol-boosting method is to eat more fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
Two apples, a portion of nuts and a large serving of strawberries provide roughly 500mg of flavanols. If you decide to treat yourself to some chocolate every now and then, don’t sweat about finding the darkest variety. Some very dark chocolates contain few flavanols, whereas some milk varieties have lots. Sadly for chocoholics, who just can’t stop themselves from reaching for one more square of chocolate, the health claims for dark chocolate come from advertising tricks, not the findings of science.
32. What can we know about dark chocolate in the first paragraph
A. Children are aware of its health benefits.
B. Studies prove it to be a health-booster.
C. The dark color makes it a healthier choice.
D Marketing can affect its health image.
33. What does the result of the 2015 U.S. study imply about flavanols
A. They made a difference to diabetes. B. They cured heart-related diseases.
C. They relieved the problem of depression. D. They reduced death risks to some degree.
34. The consumption of sugar is mentioned in Paragraph 3 mainly to show ________.
A. cocoa powder is a far better source of flavanols
B. dark chocolate cannot reduce cardiovascular deaths
C. risks from dark chocolate may outweigh its benefits
D. dark chocolate contains various necessary nutrients
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Is Dark Chocolate Actually Healthy B. Dark Chocolate: Bitter Choice, Better Heart
C. Cocoa Flavanols: the Health Secret D. Is Chocolate Healthier Than Expected
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A

Have you ever made a promise to yourself that you didn’t keep Commonly, when the new year ticks over, we make resolutions: going to the gym, studying harder or giving up a bad habit. ___36___ But what if you want to create a new good habit Well, it’s possible.
The basic idea of a habit is something we do almost unconsciously, as if you’re on autopilot. An example of this would be having breakfast or saying “please” and “thank you”. ___37___ But if we don’t have those habits, how can we create them According to a study published by the European Journal of Social Psychology, it takes an average of 66 days to form a new habit. However, relying only on determination may not be the answer.

Finally, don’t do things outside your comfort zone. If you hate mushrooms, don’t persevere and try to add them to your diet just to be healthier. ___40___ After all, what you enjoy might be healthy as well.

【答案】范文一（支持观点）
Hello, everyone!
Recently, a British talent agency has officially announced that it will sign with an AI actor to shoot a movie. I personally regard this as a promising and exciting advance in the entertainment field.
Firstly, it shows the power of creativity and technology. AI actors, able to act very well, can perform in dangerous or physically impossible scenes with ease, ensuring safety while pushing creative boundaries. Meanwhile, they can significantly lower production costs and save time, making film-making more efficient and accessible to a wider range of creators.
In the future, I believe if used responsibly, AI actors can become valuable co-workers rather than replacements for human actors.
Thank you!
范文二（反对观点）
Hello, everyone!
The recent announcement about a British talent agency signing with an AI actor to shoot a movie has sparked much discussion. From my perspective, I am skeptical and concerned about this.
Firstly, acting is a deeply human art that relies on authentic emotion, life experience, and genuine connection with an audience-qualities that an AI, no matter how advanced, cannot truly possess. Its performance might seem technically perfect but emotionally hollow. Secondly, the rise of AI performers might threaten the livelihoods of many human actors, especially newcomers and those in supporting roles, potentially leading to job losses and reducing diversity in storytelling.
I sincerely hope the industry will prioritize and protect the irreplaceable value of human artists.
Thank you!

67. 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。
I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I would often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case.
One day Brian and I wandered into an electronics store. My eyes landed on a cool camera lens (镜头) — its metal body shone under the lights. As the school photographer, I needed it to take better photos for the newspaper. But it cost $50! Just as I leaned in for a closer look, Brian pulled my sleeve, whispering eagerly, “Look! The new adventure game I’ve been waiting for!” However, neither of us had enough pocket money. We left in disappointment.
Several days later, our school had a pumpkin-carving contest. The first prize was $100, and I knew I could use the money to buy the lens. So I decided the first place bonus (奖金) definitely had to land in my pocket.
When it was time to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, I suddenly realized my big, clumsy fingers would surely mess it up. I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands — he was the man for the job. I immediately asked Brian for help. After thinking for a while, he asked for a cut of the prize money, fifty-fifty, as he wanted to buy the game. I figured out that splitting the first prize would still leave me enough for the lens. So, I agreed. With skillful hands, Brian carved a perfect face, and we handed over the pumpkin, firmly believing we would win the first prize.
On the day of the awards ceremony where the results would be announced, Brian was sick with a cold. I had to go to the awards ceremony alone.
However, something unexpected happened: we got second place. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every dollar of that to buy the lens. When the principal gave the money to me, I received it with a heavy heart.

With the money we won, we went to the store the next day.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文一：
When I came home, Brian asked if we had won. Clutching the 50-dollar bill, I hesitated under the soft living room lamp. I needed every dollar to buy the lens but Brian was the person who carved the pumpkin. Finally, I mumbled, “Second place, only fifty dollars.” My voice was laced with disappointment and I lowered my head, avoiding his expectant eyes. Then I tried to hand him the cash. Surprisingly, his small, warm hands pushed it back firmly. He smiled, hoarsely saying I should use the money to buy the lens and he could wait for his game, which eased my anxiety instantly.
With the money we won, we went to the store the next day. The seller greeted us warmly. When I was about to grab the lens I’d longed for, I spotted Brian lingering by the game section, fingers brushing his desired game. Catching the longing in his eyes, I held out the prize money again and suggested buying the game first. But he refused. Brian led me to the counter, insisting I buy the lens. The lens felt cool in my palm, but my heart was warm. I finally realized: guardianship isn’t one-sided protection, but mutual care. Brian, my guardian angel, taught me true care is lifting each other up together.
参考范文二：
When I came home, Brian asked if we had won. Clutching the 50-dollar bill, I hesitated under the soft living room lamp. I mumbled, “Second place, only fifty dollars.” His eyes dimmed at once, and he stared at his lap, looking disappointed — he’d been waiting for the game for a long time. Sensing his eagerness for the game, I held out the cash gently: “You buy the game first. I can wait for the lens.” My voice was soft, hoping to cheer him up. He lifted his head, surprise written on his face.
With the money we won, we went to the store the next day. The seller greeted us warmly, and my gaze kept drifting to the camera lens I’d longed for. Brian noticed my lingering look — he knew how much I needed it for the school newspaper. He smiled, leading me to the counter, “Let’s get your lens first. I can wait for the game.” Touched deeply, I followed him and bought the desired lens. The lens felt cool in my palm, but my heart was warm. I realized: guardianship isn’t one-sided, but mutual care that lifts each other up.
