湖南省永州市祁阳一中下学期高一第一次月考英语试卷
A
???
As
farm
kids,
my
siblings
(兄弟姐妹)and
I
were
expected
to
work
hard
and
do
our
jobs.
We
knew
no
better,
so
didn't
really
question
it一at
least
until
we
were
young
teenagers
and
wondered
why
our
friends
had
so
much
more
free
time
than
us.
???
That
ability
to
depend
on
myself
has
served
me
very
well
through
life.
The
independence
and
self-reliance
not
only
affected
my
physical
abilities.
It
came
to
shape
me
emotionally
too.
However,
it
can,
at
times,
also
be
a
huge
weight
to
bear.
???
As
my
physical
strength
has
been
affected
by
rheumatoid
arthritis,
a
disease
that
causes
pain
and
swelling
in
one
or
more
joints
of
the
body,
there
have
been
many
lessons
for
me
in
learning
how
to
receive
help.
My
health
is
now
much
improved
compared
to
what
it
was
a
couple
of
years
ago,
or
even
last
year.
Daily
challenges
do
still
exist,
but
I
have
learned
that
it
is
OK
to
ask
for
help.
???
The
joy
that
others
receive
in
lending
a
hand
has
made
me
realise
that
it
is
almost
selfish
to
not
ask
for
help!
There
is
no
need
to
deny
others
the
pleasure
of
helping.
If
we
are
in
need,
it
is
more
than
OK
to
ask
for
assistance.
Physical
and
emotional
self-reliance
are
strengths,
certainly,
when
used
well.
But
the
overuse
of
independence
is
unhealthy,
unbalanced
and
unnecessary.
???
Since
being
a
mum,
too,
I've
been
given
lots
of
lessons
on
the
need
to
connect,
and
to
acknowledge
that
I'm
vulnerable
and
need
others
to
rely
on.
There
are
certainly
times
like
this
in
all
of
our
lives,
whether
a
parent
or
not.
Sometimes
life
does
just
get
too
much.
???
If
we
can
loosen
our
need
for
independence,
though,
and
grow
into
more
interdependence,
ease
and
space
do
grow.
The
braver
we
are
to
reach
out
and
be
open,
the
easier
life
is.
It
not
only
gives
us
emotional
relief,
but
it
brings
joy
and
stronger
connections
in
our
relationships.
2.It
should
be
one
of
the
main
goals
in
today
society
to
reduce
plastic
consumption.
Though
many
believe
recycling
will
solve
the
problem,
and
continue
using
plastic,
it's
actually
the
opposite.
In
2013,
254
million
tons
of
trash
was
produced
in
the
U.S.
alone,
and
only
around
30%
was
recycled.
This
means
the
rest
ended
up
in
a
landfill
and
will
stay
there
for
up
to
1000
years.
Recently,
China
has
stopped
importing
trash
from
all
over
the
world.
Before
this,
over
30%
of
the
world's
waste
would
end
up
in
China,
causing
a
popular
belief
that
Asian
countries
are
those
responsible
for
creating
the
majority
of
the
waste
in
the
world.
Now,
Asian
countries,
including
Vietnam
and
Thailand,
are
looking
for
new
ideas
to
avoid
plastic.
One
of
those
ideas
was
a
new,
eco-friendly
way
to
pack
their
goods
by
avoiding
plastic
packaging.
One
of
Perfect
Homes
Chiangmai's
team
members
noticed
a
creative
way
to
reduce
plastic
that
a
supermarket
called
Rimping
Supermarket
was
using
and
decided
to
take
photos
of
their
shelves
with
his
phone.
Little
did
he
know
that
people
all
around
the
world
would
absolutely
love
this
idea.
"I
just
popped
in
to
get
a
few
items
while
we
were
waiting
to
sign
some
contracts(合同)
with
our
lawyer,
who
was
delayed.
When
I
noticed
the
vegetables
wrapped
in
banana
leaves
and
simply
liked
the
idea,
I
took
a
few
pictures
and
posted
them
online.”
he
said.
With
more
than
3.5
million
views
and
over
17
thousand
shares,
the
idea
became
something
people
can
encourage
more
supermarkets
to
implement(贯彻).
Some
have
noticed
that
not
everything
on
the
shelves
is
completely
plastic-free,
to
which
the
supermarket
responded
that
they
are
taking
one
step
at
a
time,
but
it's
not
that
easy.
Many
products
come
to
the
supermarkets
pre-packaged
and
many
companies
are
interested
in
wrapping
their
produce
in
plastic
since
it
is
the
cheapest
and
the
easiest
option.
It's
now
up
to
the
shoppers
to
show
the
supermarket
which
they
prefer.
If
everyone
opts
for
the
banana
leaf
packaging,
they
will
probably
stop
stocking
the
items
in
plastic.
What
can
we
infer
about
recycling
from
paragraph
1?
A.The
author
thinks
highly
of
recycling.
B.The
US
did
a
great
job
in
recycling
in
2013.
C.Recycling
has
failed
to
solve
the
plastic
problem.
D.Recycling
helps
a
lot
in
reducing
plastic
consumption.
2.Why
did
the
man
go
to
Rimping
Supermarket?
A.To
take
photos
of
their
shelves.
B.To
meet
with
their
lawyer
there.
C.To
buy
some
items.
D.To
sign
some
contracts
with
the
supermarket.
3.What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“opts
for"
in
the
last
paragraph
probably
mean?
A.Doubts.
B.Discusses.
C.Dislikes
D.Chooses.
4.What
is
the
best
title
of
the
passage?
A.Leaf
Packaging
Goes
Viral(走红)
B.Reducing
Plastic
Consumption
C.Recycling
Avoids
Plastic
Packaging
D.A
Good
Option
Makes
A
Difference
B
?
We
can
achieve
knowledge
either
actively
or
passively.
We
achieve
it
actively
by
direct
experience,
by
testing
and
proving
an
idea,
or
by
reasoning.
???
We
achieve
knowledge
passively
by
being
told
by
someone
else.
Most
of
the
learning
that
takes
place
in
the
classroom
and
the
kind
that
happens
when
we
watch
TV
or
read
newspapers
or
magazines
is
passive.
We
are
used
to
passive
learning,
and
it's
not
surprising
that
we
depend
on
it
in
our
everyday
communication
with
friends
and
co-workers.
Unfortunately,
passive
learning
has
a
serious
problem.
It
makes
us
tend
to
accept
what
we
are
told
even
when
it
is
little
more
than
hearsay
and
rumour.
???
Did
you
ever
play
the
game
Rumour?
It
begins
when
one
person
writes
down
a
message
but
doesn't
show
it
to
anyone.
Then
the
person
whispers
it,
word
for
word,
to
another
person.
That
person,
in
turn,
whispers
it
to
still
another,
and
so
on,
through
all
the
people
playing
the
game.
The
last
person
writes
down
the
message
word
for
word
as
he
or
she
hears
it.
Then
the
two
written
statements
are
compared.
Typically,
the
original
message
has
changed.
???
That's
what
happens
in
daily
life.
The
simple
fact
that
people
repeat
a
story
in
their
own
words
changes
the
story.
Then,
too,
most
people
listen
to
improve
on
it,
stamping(打上标记)
it
with
their
own
personal
style.
Yet
those
who
hear
it
think
they
know.
???
This
process
is
also
found
among
scholars
and
authors:
A
statement
of
opinion
by
one
writer
may
be
restated
as
fact
by
another,
who
may
in
turn
be
quoted
by
yet
another;
and
this
process
may
continue,
unless
it
occurs
to
someone
to
question
the
facts
on
which
the
original
writer
based
his
opinion
or
to
challenge
the
interpretation
he
placed
upon
those
facts.
1.According
to
the
passage,
what
situation
may
passive
learning
occur
in?
A.Doing
a
medical
experiment.
B.Solving
a
math
problem.
C.Visiting
an
exhibition.
D.Doing
scientific
reasoning.
2.What
does
the
underlined
word
"it"
in
Paragraph
2
refer
to?
A.Active
learning.
B.Knowledge.
C.Communication.
D.Passive
learning.
3.Why
does
the
author
mention
the
game
Rumour?
A.To
show
that
a
message
may
be
changed
when
being
passed
on.
B.To
show
that
a
message
should
be
delivered
in
different
ways.
C.To
show
that
people
may
have
problems
with
their
sense
of
hearing.
D.To
show
that
people
tend
not
to
believe
in
what
they
know
as
rumour.
4.What
can
we
infer
from
the
passage?
A.Active
learning
is
less
important.
B.Passive
learning
may
not
be
reliable.
C.Active
learning
occurs
more
frequently.
D.Passive
learning
is
not
found
among
scholars.
4.???
What's
your
opinion
about
finding
good
friends?
Speaking
from
my
past
experience,
it
is
very
difficult
to
find
good
friends
that
you
can
trust
but
once
you
have
found
them,
they
are
worth
keeping
forever!
Therefore,
I
think
friendship
is
the
most
important
relationship
that
anybody
could
have.
???
The
qualities
I
look
for
in
a
friend
are
a
good
sense
of
humour
and
sensitivity.
A
friend
would
have
to
be
strong-minded
and
highly
spirited.
I
think
that
these
qualities
are
the
key
qualities
to
look
for
in
a
good
friend.
???
Even
the
best
friends
can
still
have
arguments
between
themselves,
though
usually
about
more
serious
topics,
rather
than
the
usual
childish
arguments.
Some
matters
can
seriously
affect
friendship.
If
one
of
your
friends
started
experimenting
with
harmful
and
dangerous
drugs,
what
would
you
do?
A
good
friend
would
try
to
help
as
much
as
possible,
while
a
bad
example
of
a
friend
would
simply
shrug
and
turn
a
blind
eye.
???
Not
only
the
bad
things
affect
friendship
—
good
activities
do
too,
such
as
bonding
with
one
another,
not
just
by
going
out
on
a
night
with
them,
but
by
spending
quality
time
with
them
and
talking
to
each
other.
This
is
a
key
aspect
of
a
good
friendship.
???
Good
friends
do
not
always
have
to
be
in
the
same
age
group
as
you.
I
have
a
good
friend
and
she
is
47
years
old
and
I
am
16.
???
Unfortunately,
some
people
lose
contact
with
their
friends
as
they
grow
older,
which
is
a
sad
way
to
lose
a
good
friend.
???
I
think
friendship
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
in
life
because
if
you
have
no
friends
you
will
have
no
happiness.
1.According
to
the
author,
true
friendship
________.
A.is
easy
to
get
B.needs
management
C.deepens
with
time
D.is
the
friendship
without
arguments
2.According
to
the
author,
which
matters
least
in
friendship?
A.Age.
B.Confidence.
C.Sense
of
humour.
D.Communication.
3.Which
of
the
following
sayings
can
match
the
author's
view
on
friendship?
A.Old
friends
and
old
wines
are
best.
B.A
friend
without
faults
will
never
be
found.
C.A
friend
to
everybody
is
a
friend
to
nobody.
D.A
life
without
a
friend
is
a
life
without
sunshine.
C
It’s
no
secret
that
inhaling(吸入)smoke
is
bad
for
your
lungs.
But
now,
scientists
are
suggesting
smoke
may
also
carry
and
spread
infectious
diseases.
The
theory,
published
in
Science
Magazine,
is
based
on
research
that
found
wildfire
smoke
is
teeming
with
thousands
of
species
of
microorganisms.
Some
of
these
microorganisms,
including
bacteria
and
fungal
spores(真菌孢子),
are
known
to
cause
disease.
The
new
research
suggests
that
when
a
wildfire
burns
plant
or
animal
matter
and
disturbs
soils,
it
exposes
thousands
of
species
of
bacteria
and
fungi(真菌)
that
otherwise
might
not
easily
become
airborne(空气传播的).
You
might
think
the
high
heat
from
fire
would
kill
these
organisms,
but
one
study
mentioned
in
the
article
found
that
some
bacteria
even
multiply
post-fire.
Scientists
say
the
organisms
attach
themselves
onto
smoke
particulates(微粒),
allowing
them
to
travel
thousands
of
miles
across
continents.
Dr.
Peter
Chen,
director
of
the
Division
of
Pulmonary
and
Critical
Care
Medicine
at
Cedars-Sinai
Medical
Center
in
Los
Angeles,
is
interested
in
the
theory
but
somewhat
skeptical
that
the
microorganisms
in
smoke
would
actually
cause
infections.
Many
bacteria
and
fungi
don’
t
cause
lung
infections,
says
Chen,
but
it’s
certainly
possible
that
a
significant
amount
could
worsen
symptoms
in
someone
with
a
preexisting
lung
condition.
“I
always
thought
it
was
the
particulates
in
smoke
that
were
causing
these
issues,”
says
Chen.
“But
when
I
read
this,
I
started
thinking:
Could
it
be
the
microorganisms
that
are
also
worsening
existing
illnesses?”
Whether
the
microorganisms
in
smoke
actually
cause
infection
or
simply
worsen
potential
respiratory(呼吸的)issues,
the
article
raises
a
new
health
threat
that
is
“certainly
alarming”,
says
Kelsey
Jack,
an
associate
professor
of
environmental
and
development
economics.
This
is
especially
true
for
lower-income
populations,
Jack
says,
because
people
with
fewer
means
are
often
more
exposed
to
the
environment.
If
smoke
is
affecting
the
air
quality
in
a
certain
area,
the
people
who
work
outside,
or
who
have
to
go
to
the
office
on
foot
or
by
bike
will
inhale
more
smoke
than
those
who
drive.
But
until
more
research
is
done,
Chen
says
the
best
thing
people
can
do
is
just
follow
existing
recommendations
when
air
quality
is
poor
—
including
staying
indoors,
keeping
windows
and
doors
closed,
using
HEPA
filters(过滤器)
and
running
air
conditioning.
1.What
can
we
know
about
the
microorganisms
from
paragraph
2?
A.They
could
be
killed
by
high
heat.
B.They
could
possibly
travel
through
air
by
themselves.
C.They
could
reproduce
in
large
numbers
after
fires.
D.They
can
easily
attach
themselves
to
smoke
particulates.
2.How
do
most
microorganisms
affect
people
according
to
Dr.
Peter
Chen?
A.They
will
cause
lung
infections.
B.They
might
worsen
lung
diseases.
C.They
will
destroy
living
environments.
D.They
might
damage
respiratory
systems.
3.Why
are
low-income
people
suffering
more
than
others?
A.They
live
in
poor
areas.
B.They
drive
to
and
from
work.
C.They
have
suffered
from
lung
disease.
D.They
are
exposed
to
polluted
air
more
frequently.
4.What
does
the
last
paragraph
mainly
talk
about?
A.Results
of
the
new
research.
B.Disagreements
between
the
author
and
Chen.
C.Suggestions
on
dealing
with
poor
air
quality.
D.Benefits
of
preventing
smoke
from
polluting

Rome
wasn't
built
in
a
day.
And
neither
was
the
Roman
subway
system.
Underground
work
is
slowly
going,
because
construction
workers
often
meet
withfrescos(壁画)
and
other
valuable
stone
foundations
made
thousands
of
years
ago.
And
a
few
years
ago,
they
found
the
wooden
foundations
from
a
Roman
building.
So
local
archaeologists
called
in
Mauro
Bernabei
of
the
National
Research
Council
of
Italy.
He's
a
dendrochronologist:
someone
who
analyzes
tree
rings,
which
give
age
and
environmental
information.
“We
have
to
study
wood
because
it's
full,
really
full,
of
information!”
Bernabei
and
his
team
found
that
the
wooden
foundations
were
oak
(橡木)
.
But
the
wood's
origin
was
harder
to
determine.
So
they
compared
the
tree
rings
in
the
oak
floor
to
those
available
in
libraries
of
tree
rings
that
contain
timber
from
all
over
Europe.
And
they
found
a
match
for
the
Roman
wood
—
from
the
Jura
region
of
eastern
France,
more
than
600
miles
away.
The
researchers
also
determined
that
it
was
used
in
about
40
to
60
B.C.
And
some
came
from
trees
already
up
to
300
years
old
when
they
were
cut
down.
The
details
are
in
the
journal
PLOS
ONE.
The
discovery
is
the
first
clear
evidence
of
oak
from
north
of
the
Alps
being
used
to
build
ancient
Rome.
And
it's
a
reminder
that
the
Romans
had
a
complex
trading
network.
These
trees,
for
example,
likely
floated
down
two
rivers,
across
the
Mediterranean
and
up
another
river
to
Rome.
Bernabei
says
Roman
archaeologists
usually
destroy
ancient
wood
—it's
not
as
valuable
as
jewelry
and
vases
and
frescos.
But
he's
hoping
this
study
might
change
their
minds,“Save
the
wood,
yes!
And
call
me,
if
you
don't
want
to
save—
please,
call
me!”
He
says.
1.Why
does
the
subway
in
Rome
go
slowly?
A.It
is
hard
to
dig
up
the
earth
in
Rome.
B.There
are
many
ancient
ruins
buried
here.
C.It
is
very
dangerous
to
work
too
fast
in
Rome.
D.The
Roman
are
not
experienced
in
building
subways.
2.What
can
people
learn
from
the
wood
foundations?
A.The
wealth
of
ancient

湖南省永州市祁阳二中下学期高一第一次月考英语试卷
A
Very
early
on
in
my
senior
year
of
high
school,
my
parents
pretty
much
carried
the
flame
for
my
future
college.
I
was
happy
going
to
a
2-year
college
before
going
after
my
bachelor's
degree.
This
was
for
two
reasons:
to
help
them
save
money
and
to
make
sure
I
major
in
English.
However,
they
insisted
their
only
boy
should
attend
a
4-year
college
right
off
the
bat.
???
I
was
pushed
to
start
searching
for
colleges
therefore,
ones
that
my
parents
approved
of
and
fit
within
the
range
of
tuition
that
my
mom
thought
was
acceptable
to.
I
was
also
restricted
to
the
immediate
area,
which
really
only
included
New
York,
Connecticut,
Pennsylvania,
and
New
Jersey,
so
I
was
talked
out
of
applying
to
any
colleges
in
one
of
my
favorite
places:
New
Hampshire.
???
I
should
be
honest:
it
got
a
bit
tense
at
times
with
several
different
opinions
between
my
parents
and
me,
and
with
other
family
members
or
friends
voicing
their
thoughts
to
my
parents.
???
In
the
end,
I
ended
up
applying
to
three
schools:
SUNY
Albany,
SUNY
New
Paltz,
and
Kutztown
University
in
Pennsylvania.
I
had
been
to
New
Paltz
quite
often
as
it
was
only
45
minutes
away
from
our
home.
And
Kutztown
is
located
in
an
area
our
family
often
visited.
???
I
was
accepted
by
all
three,
and
I
quickly
gave
up
Albany.
I
was
not
impressed
with
the
city
and
wasn't
familiar
with
the
area.
It
was
between
New
Paltz
and
Kutztown.
After
a
few
weeks,
I
ended
up
settling
on
New
Paltz
because
Kutztown
just
didn't
"feel
right"
for
me.
When
I
was
on
the
campus,
I
had
a
feeling
that
this
was
it.
???
Looking
back
now,
I
wish
I
had
known
more
about
the
application
process
and
had
a
little
more
freedom
of
choice
about
which
college
I
could
apply
to.
I
probably
still
would
have
attended
SUNY
New
Paltz,
but
I
would
have
loved
to
have
a
few
more
options.
1.What
did
the

parents
think
he

college.
2.Why
didn't

B.Regretful.
C.Satisfied.
D.Worried.
4.What

the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A.How
I
Chose
My
College
B.How
to
Apply
to
a
College
C.Different
Choices,
Different
Future
D.The
Meaning
of
Attending
College
B
When
it
comes
to
friends,
I
desire
those
who
will
share
my
happiness
with
me.
When
I
was
in
the
eighth
grade,
I
had
a
friend.
We
were
shy
and
''too
serious"
about
our
studies
when
it
was
becoming
fashionable
with
our
classmates
to
learn
acceptable
social
behaviours.
We
said
little
at
school,
but
she
would
come
to
my
house
and
we
would
sit
down
with
pencils
and
paper,
and
one
of
us
would
say,
"Let's
start
with
a
train
whistle
today."
We
would
sit
quietly
together
and
write
separate
poems
or
stories
that
grew
out
of
a
train
whistle.
Then
we
would
read
them
aloud.
At
the
end
of
that
school
year,
we,
too,
were
changed
into
social
creatures
and
the
stories
and
poems
stopped.
???
When
I
lived
for
a
time
in
London,
I
had
a
friend.
He
was
in
despair(失望)
and
I
was
in
despair.
But
our
friendship
was
based
on
the
idea
in
each
of
us
that
we
would
be
sorry
later
if
we
did
not
explore
this
great
city
because
we
had
felt
bad
at
the
time.
We
met
every
Sunday
for
five
weeks
and
found
many
excellent
things.
We
walked
until
our
despairs
disappeared
and
then
we
parted.
We
gave
London
to
each
other.
???
For
almost
four
years
I
have
had
a
remarkable
friend.
We
write
long
letters
in
which
we
often
discover
our
strangest
selves.
Each
of
us
appears,
sometimes
in
a
funny
way,
in
the
other's
dreams.
She
and
I
agree
that,
at
certain
times,
we
seem
to
be
parts
of
the
same
mind.
In
my
most
interesting
moments,
I
often
think:
"Yes,
I
must
tell..."
We
have
never
met.
???
It
is
such
comforting
companions
I
wish
to
keep.
One
bright
hour
with
their
kind
is
worth
more
to
me
than
the
lifetime
services
of
a
psychologist(心理学家),
who
will
only
fill
up
the
healing(愈合的)
silence
necessary
to
those
darkest
moments
in
which
I
would
rather
be
my
own
best
friend.
1.In
Paragraph

silence
C
What
it
does
????The
self-cleaning
door
handle
is
combining
with
advanced
photocatalytic(光催化)
and
blacklight
technology.
A
light
source
activates
the
door's
handle
coating,
telling
it
to
start
cleaning.
It
can
minimize
the
risk
of
infection
by
contact
and
improve
the
cleanliness
of
a
space.
How
it
works
????The
working
principle
of
the
product
is
that
a
thin
advanced
photocatalytic
coating
can
effectively
decompose
bacteria(细菌)
on
the
surface
of
a
substance.
A
consistent
UV
light
source-inside
a
transparent
glass
door
handle-is
required
to
activate
the
door's
handle
coating
on
the
outer
surface
for
disinfection,
so
a
generator
is
used
to
provide
electricity
to
light
up
a
UV
LED
lamp
by
the
motion
of
an
opening
and
closing
door.
Then,
the
door
handle
can
clean
by
itself.
Design
process
????We
made
the
first
version
by
using
stainless
steel.
However,
it
caused
the
door
handle
to
be
heavier.
Then,
we
tried
aluminum,
which
made
it
light
and
easy
to
fix.
We
also
improved
the
generator
output
which
effectively
turned
energy
from
door
movement
into
a
light
source.
How
it
is
different
????Our
innovative
design
is
simple,
effective,
and
attractive.
It
has
an
elegant
smooth
shape,
and
its
minimalist
appearance
stands
out
in
today's
world
of
inventions.
Nowadays,
people
use
chemical
cleaning
materials
to
clean
up
public
areas
but
it
harms
the
human
body.
Our
design
can
be
used
for
a
long
time
and
is
effective.
It
can
self-clean
after
each
use.
In
the
door
lock
and
door
handle
market,
it
is
a
unique
design
because
there
are
no
similar
products.
Future
plans
In
the
future,
we
will
commercialize
the
product
and
hope
that
it
can
compete
on
the
market
with
similar
products.
We
are
going
to
connect
with
public
properties,
for
example,
shopping
malls,
hotels,
hospitals
and
public
restrooms,
where
the
risk
of
spreading
infection
is
higher.
Awards
????In
addition
to
winning
the
James
Dyson
Award,
it
has
also
received
the
Gold
Award,
and
in
2016,
it
was
featured
in
the
44th
International
Geneva
Inventions
Exhibition.
1.How
does
the
self-cleaning
door
handle
function?
A.It
controls
the
door
movement
automatically.
B.It
minimizes
the
risk
of
infection
by
less
contact.
C.Chemical
cleaning
materials
arc
used
to
clean
it
up.
D.The
light
source
tells
the
door
handle
coating
to
clean
itself.
2.Compared
with
the
first
version
of
the
product,
the
present
one
is?_________.
A.safer
and
cheaper
B.cleaner
and
easier
C.less
heavy
and
more
effective
D.more
attractive
and
expensive
3.What
do
we
know
about
the
new
invention
according
to
the
passage?
A.It
has
been
widely
used
in
public
areas.
B.It
has
received
recognition
for
its
innovation.
C.It
is
quite
competitive
among

湖南省永州市祁阳四中下学期高一第一次月考英语试卷
A
Seeing
a
volcano
erupt
is
a
wonderful
experience,
and
you
can
really
feel
the
heat
by
climbing
to
the
summit
of
Pacaya
for
a
close-up
view.
There
are
guided
tours
every
day
up
this
highly
active
volcano
from
Antigua,
giving
travellers
a
chance
to
see
Mother
Nature
at
her
most
powerful.
???
Pacaya
is
an
easy
drive
from
Antigua,
a
beautiful
city
with
many
colourful
houses
along
its
old
streets
that
are
turned
into
artworks
during
its
Holy
Week
festival.
No
matter
when
you
come
to
Antigua,
you
won't
miss
the
Pacaya-tour
companies.
???
But
climbing
Pacaya
is
no
easy
job.
It
is
2,
560
metres
high,
and
reaching
the
summit
takes
two
to
three
hours
of
seemingly
one-step-forward
and
two-step-back
movements.
As
you
climb,
you
hear
the
dull
sounds
of
eruptions
high
above.
Steaming,
hot
remains
from
recent
eruptions
begin
to
line
the
path
as
you
near
the
active
summit:
the
McKenney
Cone(火山堆).
Just
as
though
you
were
going
to
walk
over
to
the
edge
of
the
cone,
the
road
turns
to
the
left
and
up
to
the
relative
safety
of
the
old,
inactive
summit.
???
Many
tours
are
timed
so
that
you
arrive
at
the
cone
of
the
volcano
in
plenty
of
time
for
sunset
and
the
full
contrast
between
the
erupting
red
lava
and
the
darkening
sky.
On
a
good
day
the
view
from
the
summit
is
extremely
exciting.
The
active
mouth
boils,
sending
red
lava
over
its
sides,
and
once
in
a
while
shoots
hot
streams
up
to
100
metres
into
the
air.
There
is
a
strong
bad
smell
in
the
air
even
if
you
take
care
to
be
upwind
of
the
cone.
As
evening
turns
deeper
into
the
night,
the
burning
lava
quietly
falls
down
the
side
of
the
volcano.
For
you,
too,
it
is
time
to
get
down.
1.What

its
Holy
Week
festival
Antigua
becomes
very
beautiful.
D.Hot
streams
together
with
rocks
can
be
erupted
into
the
air.
B
High—pitched(高音的)
and
yet
distinct,the
sound
of
a
voice
calling
the
name
“Amy”
is
unmistakable.
But
this
isn’t
a
human
cry——it's
the
voice
of
a
killer
whale
called
Wikie.
New
research
reveals
that
orcas
(杀人鲸)
are
able
to
imitate
human
speech,saying
words
such
as
“hello”,“one,
two”
and
“bye
bye”.
The
study
also
shows
that
the
creatures
are
able
to
copy
unfamiliar
sounds
produced
by
other
orcas.
Writing
in
the
journal
Biological
Sciences,
researchers
from
institutions
in
Germany,
UK,
Spain
and
Chile,
describe
how
they
carried
out
the
latest
research
with
Wikie,
a
14-year-old
female
orca
living
in
an
aquarium
(水族馆)
in
France.
After
first
brushing
up
Wikie’s
grasp
of
the
“copy”
command,she
was
trained
to
imitate
three
familiar
orca
sounds
made
by
her
3-year-old
Moana.
Wikie
was
then
additionally
exposed
to
five
orca
sounds
she
had
never
heard
before,
including
noises
sounding
like
a
creaking
(嘎吱响)door.
Finally,Wikie
was
exposed
to
a
human
making
three
of
the
orca
sounds,as
well
as
six
human
sounds,including
“hello”,“Amy”,“ah
ha”,
“one,two”
and
“bye
bye”.
The
team
found
that
Wikie
was
often
quickly
able
to
copy
the
sounds,
whether
from
an
orca
or
a
human,
with
all
of
the
novel
noises
copied
within
17
trials.
What's
more,
two
human
sounds
and
all
of
the
human
—
produced
orca
sounds
were
managed
on
the
first
attempt—although
only
one
human
sound
“hello”
was
correctly
produced
more
than
50%
of
the
time
on
subsequent
trials.
The
creatures
are
already
known
for
their
ability
to
copy
the
movements
of
other
orcas,
with
some
reports
suggesting
they
can
also
copy
the
sounds
of
bottlenose
dolphins
and
sea
lions
after
several
trials.
Scientists
say
the
discovery
helps
to
cast
light
oh
how
different
groups
of
wild
killer
whales
have
ended
up
with
distinct
accents,
adding
weight
to
the
idea
that
they
are
the
result
of
imitation
between
orcas.
What
is
the
author’s
main
purpose
in
writing
the
text?
A.To
analyze
orcas’
speech
abilities.
B.To
highlight
the
conservation
of
the
orca.
C.To
inform
us
of
orcas'
ability

When
Washington
manicurist(美甲师)
Lidia
Schaefer
returned
to
her
native
village
in
Ethiopia,
she
was
troubled
by
what
she
saw:
children
walking
three
hours
each
day
to
attend
classes
held
not
in
a
school,
but
under
a
tree.
???
When
she
learned
in
1998
that
one
of
the
girls
she'd
met—Medhine—had
been
killed
by
a
wild
dog
after
falling
behind
other
children
during
the
long
walk
home
from
school,
Schaefer
knew
she
had
to
act.
"That
really
pushed
me
to
do
it,"
she
says,
"to
build
a
school
so
that
that
wouldn't
happen
again."
???
Schaefer
persuaded
the
Ethiopian
government
to
donate
land
in
a
central
location
to
build
a
school
so
that
the
school
could
serve
children
from
several
nearby
villages.
???
Back
in
Washington,
Schaefer
began
setting
aside
money
for
the
construction
of
the
school.
"I
was
working
two
days
for
the
school
and
four
days
for
myself,"
she
recalls.
But
Schaefer
realised
it
wasn't
enough.
In
2002,
she
gave
up
the
symbols
of
her
American
dream,
selling
her
house
and
car—a
sacrifice
that
still
surprises
her
friends.
???
For
Schaefer,
it
was
simply
a
matter
of
doing
what
she
felt
was
right.
"I
don't
work
with
my
head
but
with
my
heart.
I
want
the
children
to
learn,
to
get
something
out
of
life,"
she
says.
???
Schaefer
finally
raised
more
than
$
250,
000
for
the
school,
which
was
completed
in
2006.
Today,
nearly
1,
000
students
are
educated
in
the
school,
which
boasts
an
eight-building
campus
with
16
classrooms,
a
science
lab,
and
a
library.
???
Though
she'd
hoped
to
name
the
school
after
Medhine,
the
government—which
runs
the
school—named
it
the
Lidia
Secondary
School,
telling
Schaefer,
"We
want
it
to
be
your
name
so
that
students
will
be
encouraged
to
be
like
you."
???
"She's
very
inspiring
to
me,"
says
Gonzalez.
"I've
learned
from
Lidia
that
no
matter
how
big
a
project
is,
if
your
heart
is
in
it'
you
can
do
it."
What
inspired
Lidia
to
build
a
school
in
Ethiopia?
A.
The
sight
of
students
learning
under
a
tree.
B.
The
long
distance
students
had
to
walk
to
school.
C.
The
death
of
Medhine.
D.
The
support
of
her
colleagues.
2.
What
does
the
underlined
sentence
in
the
text
probably
mean?
A.
Schaefer
is
always
willing
to
work.
B.
Schaefer
does
things
without
thinking
about
them
carefully.
C.
Schaefer
doesn't
like
to
use
her
head.
D.
Schaefer
bases
what
she
does
on
her
feelings.
3.
The
school
was
named
after
Schaefer
because
the
government
_____.
A.
wanted
the
students
to
learn
from
her
B.
wanted
it
to
be
in
memory
of
her
C.
wanted
to
express
thanks
to
her
D.
wanted
to
remember
her
forever
4.
What
can
we
conclude
from
Schaefer's
experience?
A.
Houses
and
cars
are
the
symbols
of
success.
B.
You
can
do
anything
if
you
put
your
mind
to
it.
C.
Money
is
the
way
to
make
a
difference.

2020-2021学年度
湖南省永州市永州四中下学期高一第一次月考英语试卷
A
Koalas
are
pictured
everywhere
in
Australia—on
cleaning
products,
on
boxes
of
chocolate,
on
sports
team
shirts.
Yet
now
koalas
live
only
in
pockets
along
the
east
coast.
???
They
once
inhabited
the
entire
coastline.
The
koala
population
dropped
after
farmers
cut
down
many
of
the
forests
where
koalas
lived,
and
hunters
killed
koalas
for
their
fur.
???
By
the
early
1900s,
"koalas
were
basically
shot
out
of
South
Australia,"
says
ecologist
Bill
Ellis,
who
studies
the
relationships
between
living
things
and
their
environments.
???
I
recently
joined
Ellis
and
his
team
in
a
forest
on
St
Bees
Island,
19
miles
off
the
northeastern
coast
of
Australia,
with
eight
other
volunteers.
The
island
is
a
natural
laboratory,
yielding
findings
that
may
help
protect
koalas
elsewhere
on
the
continent.
???
The
volunteers
searched
the
island
for
koalas
in
the
blue
gum
trees.
When
we
found
a
koala,
we
gathered
information
about
the
trees
in
the
area.
???
The
blue
gum
tree
is
a
species
of
the
eucalyptus
tree(桉树)
in
which
the
funny
leaf-eaters
spend
most
of
their
time.
Eucalyptus
trees
are
native
to
Australia,
and
their
leaves
are
the
main
food
source
for
koalas.
Although
koalas
can
walk
on
the
ground,
they
are
better
suited
for
life
in
the
canopy,
the
high
cover
of
branches
and
leaves
in
a
forest.
???
What
has
Ellis,
research
told
him
so
far?
The
population
of
koalas
on
St
Bees
Island
seems
to
be
healthy.
Yet
Ellis
wonders
whether
the
koalas
might
be
heading
for
hard
times.
The
island
is
overrun
with
wild
goats,
and
Ellis
thinks
the
goats
are
eating
the
small
blue
gum
trees.
???
Without
those
trees,
the
koalas
will
run
out
of
food
in
the
future.
Ellis
hopes
more
research
will
help
him
understand
how
to
protect
the
blue
gum
trees
and
the
koalas
that
depend
on
them.
"I
think
that's
what
everyone
is
trying
to
do—to
make
a
difference,"
Ellis
says.
1.
What
can
we
know
from
the
first
paragraph?
A.
Koalas,
pictures
can
be
found
everywhere
in
the
world.
B.
Koalas
in
Australia
like
to
eat
chocolate.
C.

on
the
east
coast
of
Australia.
D.
You
can
buy
the
pictures
of
koalas
only
on
the
east
coast
of
Australia.
2.
What's
the
work
of
the
volunteers
in
Ellis'
team?
A.
To
collect
information
about
the
trees
that
koalas
depend
on.
B.
To
prevent
farmers
from
cutting
down
the
forest.
C.
To
save
the
koalas
injured
by
local
hunters.
D.
To
study
the
living
things
and
the
environment
in
the
forest.
3.
What
will
Ellis
most
probably
start
to
do
next?
A.
To
keep
the
population
of
koalas
on
St
Bees
Island
healthy.
B.
To
kill
all
the
goats
on
the
island.
C.
To
find
some
new
foods
for
goats.
D.
To
protect
blue
gum
trees
for
koalas.
4.

Sydney
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
cities
in
the
world
and
the
2000
Olympic
Games
put
it
on
the
map
as
one
of
the
most
lively
and
modern
cities
in
the
world.
Any
trip
to
Sydney
is
an
adventure
and
with
some
of
the
world’s
most
beautiful
beaches,
this
city
has
so
much
to
offer.
Sydney
is
so
large
an
area
that
choosing
a
hotel
is
something
you
need
to
do
very
carefully.
Public
transport
is
good,
but
it
can
be
slow
and
being
close
to
where
you
want
to
be
is
probably
the
most
important
factor.
???
The
first
and
most
obvious
choice
is
hotels
around
Circular
Quay.
Circular
Quay
is
the
heart
of
the
city
and
one
of
the
major
interchanges
where
trains,
buses
and
ferries
meet.
It's
also
where
Sydney's
two
most
famous
landmarks
are
located—the
Sydney
Opera
House
and
the
Sydney
Harbour
Bridge.
This
area
is
active
and
offers
some
of
the
best
views
you
will
ever
get
from
a
hotel
room.
???
The
farther
hotels
in
the
city
are
much
more
suited
to
business
travellers
and
they
are
usually
less
expensive.
Darling
Harbour
is
a
great
choice
as
it
mixes
a
great
view
with
being
right
in
the
centre
of
the
city.
Darling
Harbour
has
hundreds
of
pubs,
clubs
and
restaurants
along
the
water's
edge.
???
If
you
don't
feel
like
dealing
with
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
the
city
and
are
looking
for
someplace
a
bit
quieter,
why
not
head
out
to
the
Northern
Beaches?
It's
only
a
short
ferry
ride
over
to
Manly
where
you
can
find
two
major
hotels
on
the
beach
with
a
number
of
smaller
boutiques(时装店,精品店).
1.
What
made
Sydney
famous
as
one
of
the
most
lively
and
modern
cities
in
the
world?
A.
Its
traditional
culture.
B.
Its
beaches
and
hotels.
C.
The
traffic
system.
D.
The
2000
Olympics.
2.
If
you
want
to
live
in
a
quiet
hotel
and
buy
some
fashionable
clothes
or
expensive
gifts,
you
should
choose
one
in
_____.
A.
Circular
Quay
B.
Darling
Harbour
C.
Manly
D.
Sydney
Harbour
Bridge
3.
The
underlined
part
"hustle
and
bustle"
in
the
last
paragraph
may
refer
to
_____.
A.
hot
climate
B.
serious
pollution
C.
busy
noisy
activities
D.
slow-moving
traffic

A
1.6-metre-tall
robot
may
soon
become
the
best
friend
for
lonely
elderly
people,
as
Chinese
scientists
are
making
the
final
sprint(冲刺)
towards
its
market
launch(投放),
said
a
senior
researcher
on
the
robot
project
on
Saturday.
???
"We
are
working
on
testing
the
exact
functions
and
ways
to
reduce
the
cost
in
preparations
for
an
expected
market
launch
of
the
robot
in
two
to
three
years,"
said
Li
Ruifeng,
a
member
of
the
project.
???
He
said
the
team
hoped
to
reduce
the
cost
so
that
the
robot
can
be
priced
at
30,
000
to
50,
000
yuan,
which
is
expected
to
be
an
affordable
price
for
most
of
China's
better-off
families.
???
The
robot
has
been
developed
with
the
functions
of
fetching
food
and
medicine,
sounding
alarms
in
case
of
water
or
gas
leakage,
sending
texts
or
video
images
via
wireless
communications,
and
even
singing
a
song
or
playing
chess
to
entertain
its
masters.

Li
said
that
the
robot,
developed
independently
in
China,
has
technology
at
the
same
level
as
those
in
Western
labs.
???
China
set
about
the
research
of
the
robot
in
2007,
when
it
was
listed
as
a
national
key
project.
It
is
backed
by

by
the
Ministry
of
Civil
Affairs,
more
than
10
million

Science
fiction
writers
create
imaginary
worlds.
The
way
things
work
in
your
imaginary
worlds
will
be
based
on
actual
science.
So
it's
important
for
you
to
be
familiar
with
the
scientific
principles
and
inventions
that
are
related
to
your
creation.
For
example,
if
you're
writing
about
human
living
on
a
planet
with
zero
gravity,
then
you
need
to
know
the
effects
of
zero
gravity
on
the
human
body.
???
Then
you
have
to
figure
out
the
exact
rules
of
your
imaginary
worlds.
And
you
have
to
follow
them.
If
humans
are
able
to
breathe
underwater
in
Chapter
1,
your
character
can't
drown
in
a
swimming
pool
in
Chapter
3.The
issue
here
is
maintaining
your
readers'
trust.
That
means
the
readers
are
willing
to
pretend
along
with
you.
If
you
start
out
with
an
ordinary
detective
novel
and
then
throw
in
someone
breathing
underwater
in
the
6th
chapter,
you
will
pull
the
readers
out
of
their
imagination.
The
same
thing
happens
if
you
change
the
rules
halfway.
???
Part
of
your
preparation
work
for
the
novel
is
to
map
out
its
worlds
in
great
detail.
You
should
decide
the
following
issues:
the
history
of
the
world,
the
geography,
what
possibilities
it
offers,
how
everything
works
in
this
new
reality,
and
how
all
of
these
factors
affect
the
way
your
characters
think,
feel,
and
react
to
things.
You
don't
have
to
tell
your
readers
all
the
rules
in
the
first
chapter.
But
you
have
to
let
readers
know
enough
to
understand
what's
going
on.
This
also
allows
you
to
work
out
logical
problems
and
contradictions(矛盾)
before
you
start
writing.
???
When
you
are
writing,
remember
to
make
it
feel
real.
You
are
inviting
readers
to
visit
a
new
world.
They
will
want
to
be
able
to
see,
hear,
feel,
smell,
and
even
taste
what
it's
like.
Whether
your
novel
is
about
a
world
without
disease
or
an
undiscovered
planet,
help
your
readers
feel
like
they're
actually
there.
1.
What's
the
relationship
between
actual
science
and
science
fiction?
A.
Science
fiction
promotes
the
development
of
actual
science.
B.
Science
fiction
often
reflects
the
development
of
actual
science.
C.
Actual
science
limits
the
imagination
described
in
science
fiction.
D.
Actual
science
provides
basic
principles
for

The
second
paragraph
is
mainly
developed
by
_____.
A.
making
comparisons
B.
giving
examples
C.
following
the
time
order
D.
analyzing
causes
3.
Which
of
the
following
statements
is
TRUE?
A.
It
is
necessary
to
do
some
scientific
experiments
before

fiction.
B.
It
is
more
difficult
to
write
science
fiction
than
ordinary
detective
novels.
C.
Readers
of
science
fiction
actually
pretend
the
writers'
rules
are
true.
D.
It
is
great
to
leave
some
contradictions
in

science
fiction.

Sometimes
very
odd
things
show
up
in
ordinary
places.
In
the
1800s,a
strange
sight
began
to
be
reported
by
farmers.
Then
in
the
1970s,
this
strange
event
began
to
happen
more
and
more
often.
People
travelled
for
miles
to
stand
in
the
fields
and
take
photos
of
something
they
couldn't
easily
explain.
What
were
they
looking
at?
It
was
the
crop
circles—large
and
complex
designs
set
into
the
middle
of
ordinary
farm
fields.
No
one
could
understand
how
these
huge
designs
were
made.
???
Crop
circles
are
found
most
often
in
fields
of
wheat,
corn,
or
rice.
They
are
usually
created
overnight,
although
some
are
reported
to
have
appeared
during
the
day.
They
have
been
seen
in
more
than
70
different
countries.
Scientists
have
found
that
the
plants
inside
a
crop
circle
are
drier
than
the
ones
outside
it.
The
plant
stems(茎)
are
bent
but
not
broken
in
most
crop
circles,
and
sometimes
the
soil
in
the
design
has
more
iron
than
the
soil
outside
of
the
design.
Unfortunately,
these
facts
alone
do
not
help
scientists
answer
their
questions
about
crop
circles.
These
facts
only
make
them
more
mysterious.
???
Some
people
believe
crop
circles
are
made
by
UFOs
(Unidentified
Flying
Objects)
landing
in
farm
fields.
Others
think
aliens
are
leaving
us
messages
in
the
beautiful
designs.
Still
others
believe
Earth
energy
under
the
ground
makes
plants
bend
over
in
designs.
Some
people
say
they
actually
made
the
crop
circles
with
special
equipment.
Scientists
have
found
some
crop
circles
that
are
certainly
made
by
people,
but
they
are
usually
a
little
different
from
other
crop
circles.
So
who
makes
crop
circles
and
why
they
make
them
can't
be
explained
to
this
very
day.

Adults
perform
better
when
they
have
a
lot
to
gain
or
lose.
But
scientists
did
not
know
whether
teens
did
too.
To
find
out,
Insel
asked
88
people
between
the
ages
of
13
and
20.
She
had
them
try
a
game.
The
participants
looked
at
pictures
of
planets
on
a
computer
screen.
They
had
to
click
as
fast
as
they
could
when
they
saw
a
planet
with
designs.
They
were
not
supposed
to
click
if
a
planet
had
no
designs.
The
participants
could
earn
20
cents
for
right
answers
but
lose
10
cents
for
wrong
ones.
In
other
sessions,
they’d
get
a
dollar
for
right
answers,
and
lose
a
half
dollar
for
wrong
ones.
Players
of
all
ages
wanted
to
win
the
money,
and
cared
more
about
bigger
rewards
than
smaller
ones.
As
Insel
expected,
adults
performed
better
when
the
stakes
were
high.
But
teens
13
to
18
played
just
as
well
whether
they
stood
to
win
20
cents
or
a
dollar.
Only
19-
or
20-year
olds
stepped
up
their
game
for
the
higher
stakes.
Insel’s
team
published
this
work
November
28,
2017,
in
Nature
Communications.
Brains
change
and
mature
during
adolescence.
And
not
all
parts
grow
at
the
same
rate.
Insel
was
interested
in
two
areas
in
particular.
One
is
deep
inside
the
brain
and
just
above
the
ears.
Called
the
ventral
striatum
(腹侧纹状体),
it
helps
the
brain
calculate
rewards.
The
ventral
striatum
becomes
mature
during
the
teen
years.

brain’s

cortex

takes
longer
to
mature.
This
area
is
important
for
planning
and
setting
goals.
It
may
not
mature
until
early
adulthood.
Nerve
pathways
—
think
of
them
as
the
brain’s
“wiring”
—
connect
the
ventral
striatum
and
prefrontal
cortex.
This
lets
the
two
regions
communicate
to
make
decisions.
But
because
the
prefrontal
cortex
matures
later,
the
wiring
between
the
two
may
not
be
complete
until
adulthood.

Coral
reefs(珊瑚礁
)are
an
integral
part
of
sea
life
and
sustain
it
by
providing
shelter
and
habitat
to
various
organisms.
They
also
supply
and
recycle
nutrients
as
well
as
enable
a
growing
fish
population,
along
with
other
species,
for
a
healthy
and
diverse
ecosystem.
However,
the
rise
in
average
water
temperatures
due
to
climate
change
has
resulted
in
more
frequent
and
longtime
“coral
bleaching(白化现象)”
events
that
damage
their
health,
causing
fish
and
other
sea
species
to
abandon
them.
In
order
to
restore
this
delicate
ecosystem,
scientists
from
the
UK
and
Australia
conducted
a
study
that
involved
using
loudspeakers
underwater
near
damaged
coral
reefs
to
make
them
sound
healthy
and
attract
fish,
potentially
kick-starting
the
natural
recovery
process
of
coral
reefs
and
their
dependent
life
forms.
The
location
for
this
experiment
was
the
Great
Barrier
Reef
in
the
coral
Sea,
found
alongside
the
east
coast
of
Queensland,
Australia.
The
site
is
noted
to
have
the
largest
coral
reef
system
in
the
world.
“Healthy
coral
reefs
are
remarkably
noisy
places--the
crackle
of
snapping
shrimp
and
the
whoops
and
grunts
of
fish.
Young
fish
concentrate
on
these
sounds
when
they’re
looking
a
place
to
settle”,
said
Steve
Simpson,
study
co-author
and
a
professor
at
the
University
Exeter,
UK.
By
using
loudspeakers
to
copy
such
sounds,
parts
of
dead
coral
reefs
were
found
to
attract
twice
as
many
fish,
compared
to
places
where
no
sounds
were
played.
"These
returning
fish,
are
crucial
for
coral
reefs
to
function
as
healthy
ecosystems.
Boosting
fish
populations
in
this
way
could
help
to
kick-start
natural
recovery
processes,
preventing
the
damage
we’re
seeing
on
many
coral
reefs
around
the
world,”
said
lead
author,
Tim
Gordon.

"I
have
cancer."Mom
said
and
held
me
in
a
tight
hug.I
could
feel
her
chest
shaking
as
she
tried
not
to
cry
but
failed.
For
all
of
my
twenty-four
years,my
mom
had
been
supportive.Strength
and
protection
had
always
flowed
from
her
to
me.Now
I
knew
it
would
have
to
flow
the
other
way.
Mom
didn't
stay
down
for
long.After
the
shock
of
breast-cancer,she
armed
herself
with
a
notebook
and
a
pen
and
a
thousand
questions
for
the
doctors.She
took
notes
on
white
blood
cell
counts
and
medications(药物)with
long
names
as
though
she
were
studying
for
entrance
exams
into
medical
school."The
not-knowing
is
the
worst."she
said.
The
operation
was
successful.The
chemo(化疗)was
the
harder
part.I
went
with
Mom
to
every
chemo
treatment.She
rarely
complained,though
her
hair
was
gone
and
her
toenails
and
fingernails
fell
out
one
by
one.She
joked
that
she
could
save
money
on
nail
polish
and
put
it
toward
the
doctor
bills,even
though
she
never
wore
nail
polish."Cancer
can
take
my
hair,my
nails,my
health,my
very
life.
But
it
can't
take
my
smile."Mom
said.
Mom
learned
to
share
her
fears
with
me,and
it
formed
an
even
deeper
bond
between
us.Yet
I
am
certain
there
were
fears
she
didn't
share
because
she
was
still
protecting
me-worries
she
only
shared
with
Dad.Even
in
the
darkest
hours,she
would
just
joke
about
the
cancer.
Mom
always
said,"When
you
look
your
greatest
fear
in
the
eye
and
laugh
at
it,you
take
away
some
of
its
power.”
Mom
was
one
of
the
lucky
ones.She
did
beat
her
cancer,though
not
without
scars.From
her,I've
learned
I
may
not
get
to
choose
what
I
face,but
I
do
get
to
choose
how
I
face
it.
