At age 11, actress Kaylee Hottle appears as the leading hero in the film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. It’s the sequel (续集) to Godzilla vs. Kong, which Hottle also appeared in when she made her film debut in 2021. Both movies bring together the world’s most famous fictional monsters (怪兽), Godzilla and King Kong.
Hottle, who began acting in commercials at about age 4, is deaf and is fluent in American Sign Language. She was born in Georgia and currently lives near Austin, Texas, where she attends the Texas School for the Deaf. In fact, she comes from an all-deaf family spanning four generations, so playing this character in this movie holds profound significance for who she’s representing.
In both films, Hottle plays Jia, a deaf girl who is the last surviving member of the Iwi Tribe, which had lived peacefully with giant apes (类人猿) on Skull Island, Kong’s home. When Jia is adopted by a scientist involved with monster research, she meets Kong and they form a special bond, using nonverbal communication and sign language. “They feel alone and without a place they belong,” Hottle said of Jia and Kong’s connection. They have gone through a lot but are both willing to combine forces to save the world together,” she told The Week Junior. Hottle admires Jia’s bravery and determination to help people in need, even if she’s scared. “She’s not a quitter,” she said about her character.
As for the future, Hottle plans to continue acting, and she told The Houston Chronicle that she hopes other deaf young people are motivated to act when they see her on screen. “Any role you are going for, don’t be scared,” Hottle told The Week Junior. “Your dreams can come true.”
“We had to look outside of the traditional casting channels to find her, and Hottle, whom wewere very fortunate to cast, had never been in a film before. But through a network of casting directors and theaters, our terrific casting director, Sarah Halley Finn, was able to locate her,” producer Alex Garcia said in a press release.
4. What contributes a lot to Hottle’s starring in both films?
A. Her bond with giant apes. B. Her master of sign language.
C. Her experiences of being a director. D. Her interest in monster research.
5. What do we know about the character Jia?
A. She is instructed by a scientist. B. She comes from an all-deaf family.
C. She saves the world alone in the film. D. She has a close relationship with Kong.
6. What does Hottle expect other deaf young people to do?
A. Develop their acting skills. B. Think more about their future.
C. Pursue their dreams bravely. D. Seek chances to produce films.
7. What does Alex Garcia think of Hottle?
A. She is the right girl for the role. B. She is a lucky dog.
C. She is good at casting actors. D. She is a famous movie star.

The global secondhand market is expected to increase at three times the rate of the overall global clothing market up to 2027, driven by Gen Z consumers, according to online secondhand platform Thredup.
The company’s 11th annual resale report, released on Wednesday, says Gen Z consumers will account for nearly two-thirds of incremental (增量) secondhand spend as their purchasing power increases. Thredup’s report contains much data and research from analytics firm Globaldata, which conducted a survey of over 3,000 American adults, asking specific questions about their behaviors and preferences for secondhand.
Opportunities exist in great numbers for secondhand platforms to expand business online and connect with Gen Z consumers who already purchase secondhand clothing online. Some 58 per cent of Gen Z who bought secondhand clothing over the last 12 months made at least one purchase online — more than any other generation, the report says.
Demand for secondhand goods is driving retailers (零售商) to rethink their strategies. Some 86 per cent of retail executives say their customers are already participating in resale, up 8 per cent on 2021.“Brands are adopting resale at an accelerated rate to capture more of this demand,” says Thredup president Anthony Marino. “With more than half of Gen Z saying they’re more likely to shop with a brand that offers secondhand alongside new, resale is becoming table stakes (筹码) for retailers.”
One significant question surrounding resale’s growth is whether or not it’s a more eco-friendly way of shopping if customers are still consuming at an ever-rising pace. When secondhand shopping becomes sport-like for a generation of customers, and brands aren’t reducing production levels as they also make profits from resale, experts say it’s not actually a greener option.
“We have a huge issue with overproduction,” says Harriet Vocking, chief executive of the firm Eco-Age. “The fact that there is so much opportunity for resale highlights just how high the production and consumption rates are.” She argues that efforts should be directed at educating consumers and helping them understand the value of their purchases.
8. What does Thredup’s report show about Gen Z?
A. They depend too heavily on online shopping.
B. They are easily attracted to secondhand clothing.
C. They will be leading the way in secondhand sales.
D. They expect to have their purchasing power increased.
9. What does paragraph 4 highlight?
A Retailers’ comments on resale. B. The appeal of resale to retailers.
C. Retailers’ expectations of resale. D. The impact of resale on retailers.
10. What is the major concern for experts like Harriet Vocking?
A. How to increase production. B. How to make resale sustainable.
C. How to encourage consumption. D. How to control the resale market.
11. In which section of a website may the text appear?
A. Business. B. Education. C. Environment. D. Technology.
D
In recent years, self-esteem (自尊) has fallen out of favor in the scientific literature and in the popular media as an important factor for life outcomes. But a new research review suggests that it can have a positive influence in many areas of people’s lives.
Researchers reviewed the findings of hundreds of longitudinal (纵向的) studies that answered questions about long-term consequences, such as: Do teenagers with high self-esteem tend to be more successful in their careers? Their findings show that people with high self-esteem generally have more success at school and work, better social relationships, improved mental and physical health, and less anti-social behavior. And, these benefits continue from adolescence to adulthood and into old age.
Long-term outcomes are determined by many psychological and social factors, so self-esteem is just one part of the puzzle that might explain why people do better or worse in certain life domains. Still, the presence or absence of this one factor can have a big impact over a lifetime.
Robins Richard W. Robins, who is a psychology professor at the University of Bern and has studied self-esteem for decades, sees this review as a counter to the often-repeated claim that high self-esteem is dangerous. Self-esteem is distinct from narcissism, the research literature Robins and Orth examined shows. Whereas self-esteem refers to feelings of self-acceptance and self-respect, narcissism is characterized by feelings of superiority, entitlement, and self-centeredness.
This research review shows that high self-esteem and narcissism can have opposite implications for life outcomes. High self-esteem predicts better social relationships, whereas narcissism predicts difficulties with relationships. “Yet many psychologists have called the benefits of self-esteem a myth and suggested that it might even have a ‘dark side’,” Robins says.
Despite doubts cast on its importance, Robins says their review of the large body of self-esteem research demonstrates that it matters, and consequently interventions aimed at boosting self-esteem might benefit individuals and society as a whole.
12. What does the research review find?
A. Self-esteem has long-lasting benefits.
B. Why self-esteem has fallen out of favor.
C. Self-esteem determines long-term outcomes.
D. How self-esteem contributes to one’s success.
13. What does the underlined word “counter” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Solution. B. Explanation. C. Limitation. D. Opposition.
14. According to the research, narcissism tends to make a person _____.
A. less confident B. less adaptable C. less productive D. less popular
15. What does Robins say about developing self-esteem?
A. It faces many challenges. B. It makes good sense.
C. It deserves further study. D. It needs medical interventions.

One sunny afternoon in the small town of Oakville, a young boy named Fern was playing soccer in his backyard. His little dog, Lucks, cheerfully ran around trying to catch the ball whenever Fern kicked it too far. The air was filled with laughter and barks, making it sound like a perfect day.
All of a sudden, the sky changed color, turning dark gray. Fern noticed the wind picking up, and the trees began to shake wildly. He looked towards the horizon and saw a terrifying scene—a tornado (龙卷风) coming towards the town.
Fern fought panic and grabbed Lucky quickly. He remembered what the TV weatherman had said: “If you meet a tornado, head for the storm cellar (地窖) immediately.” Lucky whined and struggled in Fern’s arms. “Steady, boy,” Fern said to Lucky.
As he reached the doorstep of the storm cellar, he thought of Mrs. Smith, the elderly neighbor next door. Mrs. Smith lived alone and moved slowly because of her leg problems. Should he check on her? But what could he do? It seemed unlikely that she could make it to the storm cellar quickly enough. Plus, he wasn’t even sure if she wanted him around. She often scolded (训斥) him because his dog, Lucky, would mess up her flower gardens. But if there was a tornado..., she didn’t have a basement or a storm cellar. Fern knew he couldn’t just leave her there.
“Sorry, Lucky.” He set the shaking dog on the steps in the storm cellar and let the door drop shut. Lucky would be scared there by himself, but he’d be safe.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He had to make sure Mrs. Smith was OK.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After what felt like hours, the tornado finally stopped.

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了11岁的女演员Kaylee Hottle在《哥斯拉大战金刚:新帝国》中担任主角的经历。她此前已在《哥斯拉大战金刚》中出演,并在两部影片中均饰演与巨猿类人猿和平共处的伊维部落的最后幸存者Jia。Hottle是聋哑人,她的表演对聋哑群体具有特殊意义。她表示将继续演艺事业,并鼓励其他聋哑年轻人勇敢追梦。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Hottle, who began acting in commercials at about age 4, is deaf and is fluent in American Sign Language.(Hottle大约在4岁时开始出演商业广告,她耳聋,能说流利的美国手语)”和第三段“In both films, Hottle plays Jia, a deaf girl who is the last surviving member of the Iwi Tribe, which had lived peacefully with giant apes (类人猿) on Skull Island, Kong’s home. When Jia is adopted by a scientist involved with monster research, she meets Kong and they form a special bond, using nonverbal communication and sign language. (在这两部电影中,Hottle都扮演了失聪女孩Jia,她是伊维部落最后一位幸存的成员,这个部落曾与巨猿和平地生活在金刚的家乡骷髅岛上。当Jia被一位从事怪兽研究的科学家收养后,她遇到了Kong,他们通过非语言交流和手语形成了一种特殊的联系)”可知,文章中提到,Hottle耳聋,但能流利地使用美国手语。这种手语能力可能使她能够扮演Jia,一个聋哑的女孩,她用手语与Kong交流。她对手语的精通使她成为这个角色的理想人选,促成了她出演了这两部电影。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When Jia is adopted by a scientist involved with monster research, she meets Kong and they form a special bond, using nonverbal communication and sign language.(当Jia被一位从事怪兽研究科学家收养后,她遇到了怪兽,他们通过非语言交流和手语形成了一种特殊的关系)”可知,Jia和Kong关系很好。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““Any role you are going for, don’t be scared,” Hottle told The Week Junior. “Your dreams can come true.”(“无论你想要扮演什么角色,都不要害怕,”Hottle告诉The Week Junior。“你的梦想会成真。”)”可推知,Hottle希望其他失聪的年轻人能勇敢地追逐自己的梦想。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Alex Garcia的话“We had to look outside of the traditional casting channels to find her, and Hottle, whom wewere very fortunate to cast, had never been in a film before. But through a network of casting directors and theaters, our terrific casting director, Sarah Halley Finn, was able to locate her (我们不得不在传统的选角渠道之外寻找她,而我们非常幸运地选到了Hottle,她以前从未出演过电影。但是通过选角导演和剧院的关系网,我们出色的选角导演莎拉·哈雷·芬恩找到了她)”可知,Alex Garcia说非常幸运地选到了Hottle,说明她认为Hottle是这个角色的合适人选。故选A项。

“We have a huge issue with overproduction,” says Harriet Vocking, chief executive of the firm Eco-Age. “The fact that there is so much opportunity for resale highlights just how high the production and consumption rates are.” She argues that efforts should be directed at educating consumers and helping them understand the value of their purchases.
8. What does Thredup’s report show about Gen Z?
A. They depend too heavily on online shopping.
B. They are easily attracted to secondhand clothing.
C. They will be leading the way in secondhand sales.
D. They expect to have their purchasing power increased.
9. What does paragraph 4 highlight?
A. Retailers’ comments on resale. B. The appeal of resale to retailers.
C. Retailers’ expectations of resale. D. The impact of resale on retailers.
10. What is the major concern for experts like Harriet Vocking?
A. How to increase production. B. How to make resale sustainable.
C. How to encourage consumption. D. How to control the resale market.
11. In which section of a website may the text appear?
A. Business. B. Education. C. Environment. D. Technology.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道在线二手平台Thredup发布报告称,全球二手市场预计到2027年将增长三倍于整体服装市场,主要推动力来自Z世代消费者。报告显示,随着Z世代购买力的增强,他们将成为二手市场增量的主要贡献者。零售商也需重新思考策略,以适应二手商品需求的增长。然而,也有专家担忧,如果品牌不减少生产水平,二手购物并非真正的环保选择。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The global secondhand market is expected to increase at three times the rate of the overall global clothing market up to 2027, driven by Gen Z consumers, according to online secondhand platform Thredup.(在线二手平台Thredup表示,在Z世代消费者的推动下,到2027年,全球二手市场的增长速度预计将是全球服装市场增速的三倍)”和第二段中“The company’s 11th annual resale report, released on Wednesday, says Gen Z consumers will account for nearly two-thirds of incremental (增量) secondhand spend as their purchasing power increases.(该公司周三发布的第11份年度转售报告称,随着购买力的提高,Z世代消费者将占到二手消费增量的近三分之二)”可推知,Thredup的报告显示Z世代将主导在二手市场消费 。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Demand for secondhand goods is driving retailers (零售商) to rethink their strategies. Some 86 per cent of retail executives say their customers are already participating in resale, up 8 per cent on 2021.“Brands are adopting resale at an accelerated rate to capture more of this demand,” says Thredup president Anthony Marino. “With more than half of Gen Z saying they’re more likely to shop with a brand that offers secondhand alongside new, resale is becoming table stakes (筹码) for retailers.”(对二手商品的需求正促使零售商重新考虑自己的战略。约86%的零售高管表示,他们的客户已经在参与转售,比2021年增长了8%。Thredup总裁安东尼•马里诺表示:“各大品牌正在加速采用转售方式,以抓住更多这类需求。超过一半的Z世代表示,他们更有可能购买既提供二手又提供新品的品牌,因此转售正成为零售商的筹码。”)”可知,本段重点讨论了二手商品的需求如何促使零售商重新思考他们的战略,并提到品牌正在加速采用转售来抓住更多的需求。转售正成为零售商关注的一个关键因素,因为超过一半的Z世代表示,他们更有可能购买既提供二手又提供新产品的品牌。由此可知,第四段重点讨论了转售对零售商的影响。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Harriet Vocking的话“We have a huge issue with overproduction (我们有一个生产过剩的大问题)”和“The fact that there is so much opportunity for resale highlights just how high the production and consumption rates are.(有如此多的转售机会,这一事实凸显了生产和消费率有多高)”可知,Harriet Vocking认为如果消费者继续以不断增长的速度消费,而品牌不降低生产水平,这会造成生产过剩。那么二手购物虽然看似环保,但实际上可能不是一个更环保的选择。由此推知,Harriet Vocking主要关心的是如何使转售成为一种真正可持续的做法。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合第一段中“The global secondhand market is expected to increase at three times the rate of the overall global clothing market up to 2027, driven by Gen Z consumers, according to online secondhand platform Thredup.(在线二手平台Thredup表示,在Z世代消费者的推动下,到2027年,全球二手市场的增长速度预计将是全球服装市场增速的三倍)”和第四段中“Demand for secondhand goods is driving retailers (零售商) to rethink their strategies.(对二手商品的需求正促使零售商重新考虑自己的战略)”可知,本文讨论了与零售、消费者行为、可持续性和二手市场相关的主题,这些主题都与商业行业相关。由此推知,本文可能出现在网站的商业部分。故选A项。
D
In recent years, self-esteem (自尊) has fallen out of favor in the scientific literature and in the popular media as an important factor for life outcomes. But a new research review suggests that it can have a positive influence in many areas of people’s lives.
Researchers reviewed the findings of hundreds of longitudinal (纵向的) studies that answered questions about long-term consequences, such as: Do teenagers with high self-esteem tend to be more successful in their careers? Their findings show that people with high self-esteem generally have more success at school and work, better social relationships, improved mental and physical health, and less anti-social behavior. And, these benefits continue from adolescence to adulthood and into old age.
Long-term outcomes are determined by many psychological and social factors, so self-esteem is just one part of the puzzle that might explain why people do better or worse in certain life domains. Still, the presence or absence of this one factor can have a big impact over a lifetime.
Robins Richard W. Robins, who is a psychology professor at the University of Bern and has studied self-esteem for decades, sees this review as a counter to the often-repeated claim that high self-esteem is dangerous. Self-esteem is distinct from narcissism, the research literature Robins and Orth examined shows. Whereas self-esteem refers to feelings of self-acceptance and self-respect, narcissism is characterized by feelings of superiority, entitlement, and self-centeredness.
This research review shows that high self-esteem and narcissism can have opposite implications for life outcomes. High self-esteem predicts better social relationships, whereas narcissism predicts difficulties with relationships. “Yet many psychologists have called the benefits of self-esteem a myth and suggested that it might even have a ‘dark side’,” Robins says.
Despite doubts cast on its importance, Robins says their review of the large body of self-esteem research demonstrates that it matters, and consequently interventions aimed at boosting self-esteem might benefit individuals and society as a whole.
12. What does the research review find?
A. Self-esteem has long-lasting benefits.
B. Why self-esteem has fallen out of favor.
C. Self-esteem determines long-term outcomes.
D. How self-esteem contributes to one’s success.
13. What does the underlined word “counter” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Solution. B. Explanation. C. Limitation. D. Opposition.
14. According to the research, narcissism tends to make a person _____.
A less confident B. less adaptable C. less productive D. less popular
15. What does Robins say about developing self-esteem?
A. It faces many challenges. B. It makes good sense.
C. It deserves further study. D. It needs medical interventions.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究综述表明,自尊可以在人们生活的许多领域产生积极的影响,有着长远的意义。文章对此进行了介绍。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“But a new research review suggests that it can have a positive influence in many areas of people’s lives.(但一项新的研究综述表明,它可以在人们生活的许多领域产生积极的影响。)”和第二段最后两句“Their findings show that people with high self-esteem generally have more success at school and work, better social relationships, improved mental and physical health, and less anti-social behavior. And, these benefits continue from adolescence to adulthood and into old age.(他们的研究结果表明,自尊心强的人通常在学校和工作中更成功,社会关系更好,身心健康状况更好,反社会行为也更少。而且,这些益处从青春期持续到成年期,直至老年。)”可知,研究综述发现自尊有长期的好处。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段最后两句“Self-esteem is distinct from narcissism, the research literature Robins and Orth examined shows. Whereas self-esteem refers to feelings of self-acceptance and self-respect, narcissism is characterized by feelings of superiority, entitlement, and self-centeredness.(罗宾斯和诺斯研究的文献显示,自尊不同于自恋。自尊指的是自我接纳和自我尊重的感觉,而自恋的特点是优越感、权利感和自我中心感。)”可知,此处是指这篇综述是对经常被重复的高自尊是危险的说法的反驳,所以counter意为“反驳”。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“High self-esteem predicts better social relationships, whereas narcissism predicts difficulties with relationships.(高自尊预示着更好的社会关系,而自恋预示着人际关系的困难。)”可知,自恋往往会让一个人不那么受欢迎。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite doubts cast on its importance, Robins says their review of the large body of self-esteem research demonstrates that it matters, and consequently interventions aimed at boosting self-esteem might benefit individuals and society as a whole.(罗宾斯说,尽管人们对自尊的重要性表示怀疑,但他们对大量自尊研究的综述表明,自尊很重要,因此,旨在提高自尊的干预措施可能对个人和整个社会都有益。)”可知,罗宾斯认为培养自尊很有意义。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了产自浙江省湖州市辑里村的辑里丝绸。
【36题详解】
考查时间状语从句和连词。句意:自元朝末年建村以来,辑里村就开始生产丝绸。结合句意,“the village was established in the late Yuan Dynasty”是时间状语从句,主句谓语has produced使用了现在完成时态,从句是主句动作的起点,用连词since引导该从句,意为“自从……以来”。故填since。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:辑里丝绸柔软细腻,厚度均匀,色泽洁白。可数名词thickness意为“厚度”,泛指,even发音以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在明朝中期,这种丝绸作为制作皇帝长袍的材料之一而闻名。介词后用动名词作宾语。故填being。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:1851年,上海商人徐荣存将辑里丝绸带到了在伦敦举行的第一届世博会,在那里这种面料赢得了两项最高奖项。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词London,在从句中作地点状语,表示“在伦敦”,应用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
【40题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:2011年,辑里丝绸被列入国家级非物质文化遗产名录。include(把……列为一部分)是句中谓语动词,与主语Jili silk 之间是被动关系,句中有时间状语In 2011,讲述过去的事情应使用一般过去时态,又因主语是专有名词,谓语动词应使用单数形式。综上,谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态,单数形式。故填was included。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为辑里丝而养的蚕被称为莲心,字面意思是莲子。“(raise) for Jili silk”作后置定语,raise(饲养)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语silkworm之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填raised。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:在辑里村,专门辑里丝设计了木制缫丝工具。修饰动词designed,用副词specifically作状语,意为“特意,专门地”。故填specifically。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:除了用于服装,优质的辑里丝还可以制作中国古琴的琴弦,或用作修复古代丝绸卷轴的材料。“(restore) ancient silk scrolls”作后置定语,restore是非谓语动词,表示一种用途和目的,用不定式作后置定语。故填to restore。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:因此,在某些情况下,染色步骤就变得不必要了。根据上文可知,通过基因筛选技术,辑里丝绸的制作者能够制作出具有自然颜色的丝绸,因此在某些情况下,染色的步骤变得“不必要”。需要使用反义形容词unnecessary作表语,意为“不必要的”。故填unnecessary。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:辑里制丝的智慧与现代技术相结合的努力,赋予了中国古代手工艺在现代的新生命。提示词作宾语,用名词wisdom,意为“智慧”,不可数名词。故填wisdom。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One sunny afternoon in the small town of Oakville, a young boy named Fern was playing soccer in his backyard. His little dog, Lucks, cheerfully ran around trying to catch the ball whenever Fern kicked it too far. The air was filled with laughter and barks, making it sound like a perfect day.
All of a sudden, the sky changed color, turning dark gray. Fern noticed the wind picking up, and the trees began to shake wildly. He looked towards the horizon and saw a terrifying scene—a tornado (龙卷风) coming towards the town.
Fern fought panic and grabbed Lucky quickly. He remembered what the TV weatherman had said: “If you meet a tornado, head for the storm cellar (地窖) immediately.” Lucky whined and struggled in Fern’s arms. “Steady, boy,” Fern said to Lucky.
As he reached the doorstep of the storm cellar, he thought of Mrs. Smith, the elderly neighbor next door. Mrs. Smith lived alone and moved slowly because of her leg problems. Should he check on her? But what could he do? It seemed unlikely that she could make it to the storm cellar quickly enough. Plus, he wasn’t even sure if she wanted him around. She often scolded (训斥) him because his dog, Lucky, would mess up her flower gardens. But if there was a tornado..., she didn’t have a basement or a storm cellar. Fern knew he couldn’t just leave her there.
“Sorry, Lucky.” He set the shaking dog on the steps in the storm cellar and let the door drop shut. Lucky would be scared there by himself, but he’d be safe.

【答案】范文
He had to make sure Mrs. Smith was OK. Fern ran out of the storm cellar, ignoring the howling wind and flying debris. He ran towards Mrs. Smith’s house, heart pounding in his chest. As he neared her home, he could see her door swinging open and a chair overturned in the yard. With a surge of adrenaline, he pushed through the door and called out for her. “Mrs. Smith, are you here?” he shouted, his voice trembling. The house was empty, but he spotted her in the backyard, struggling to get up from the ground. She had fallen and was unable to move due to her leg problems. Fern quickly ran to her side and helped her up. “Let’s go to my house,” he said, grabbing her arm and guiding her towards his backyard.
After what felt like hours, the tornado finally stopped. Fern and Mrs. Smith emerged from the shelter of his backyard, blinking in the bright sunlight that had replaced the dark, stormy sky. The town of Oakville was in shambles, with trees down and houses damaged. But Fern felt a sense of relief and accomplishment as he looked at Mrs. Smith standing beside him, safe and unharmed. He had done what he could to help his neighbor in need, and it had been worth it. He turned to Lucky, who was wagging his tail and jumping up and down, and gave him a big hug. “We did it, boy,” he said, smiling.
