WHEN CHOCOLATE BECOMES A WORK OF ART!
Chocolate is delicious; we all know that. But it isn’t just for eating, as these chocolate works of art clearly show.
Chocolate Mailbox
In 2011 chocolate company Godiva made a chocolate mailbox with white truffle hearts to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The mailbox was on display at its shop on Fifth Avenue in New York City.

It’s May, which means that millions of students are getting ready to receive their college diplomas. Grace Bush is one of them. Grace is just 16 years old — at the age when most teenagers have not even completed high school, Grace has graduated from Florida Atlantic University (FAU) with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. What’s even more astonishing is that the brilliant girl received her high school diploma from Florida Atlantic High School a week after she had graduated college!
While pursuing two diplomas would have been enough to keep most kids busy, Grace, who graduated with a 3.86 grade-point average, seemed to even find time to play the flute (长笛) for two bands.
Though this youngest FAU graduate has attracted national attention with her unique accomplishments, for Grace, this is not deviant. That’s because she comes from a family of overachievers. Her 19-year-old sister Gisla, who is currently pursuing a master’s degree, also graduated at 16, while her 17-year-old sister Gabrielle, is already pursuing her master’s degree and is scheduled to graduate from FAU this summer.
Grace’s education began when she was a toddler (刚学会走路的孩子). She learned to read by snuggling (依偎) close to her two sisters while they were being taught and was proficient by the time she turned two. From then on, her mother decided to include Grace in all the school sessions she had with her two elder sisters. Not surprisingly, by the time she turned 13, the home schooled girl was ready for high school and college.
Grace plans to return to FAU in the fall to pursue a master’s degree. Following that, the young girl wants to obtain a law degree and pursue a career that she hopes will end as a judge on the US Supreme Court.
4. What is Grace Bush interested in besides studying?
A. Forming bands. B. Playing an instrument.
C. Reading novels. D. Writing articles.
5. What does the underlined word “deviant” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Abnormal. B. Awkward. C. Visible. D. Constant.
6. How did Grace Bush receive education before she was 13 years old?
A. She was taught at home. B. She went to school as other kids.
C She learned from her sisters. D. She learned by herself.
7. Which of the following can best describe Grace?
A. Humble and humorous. B. Sporty and hardworking.
C. Brilliant and ambitious. D. Shy and innocent.
C
A recent study from SMU psychologist Sarah Kucker at Oklahoma State University, suggests shyness can influence a child’s performance in language assessments, depending on the level of social interaction required to complete the test.
Shy children tend to be reserved in everyday life, including communicating with others. The study concludes that the behaviour can make accurately assessing a child’s language abilities more challenging since shy children find it harder to verbally (语言地) engage with clinicians (临床医师) and teachers than during less socially demanding tests.
The research involved 122 children of varying temperaments (性格) between the ages of17 and 42 months, whose parents reported their child’s shyness using an early childhood behaviour questionnaire. Each child underwent a series of three language tasks that required different levels of social interaction: a looking task, a pointing task, and a production task that required children to say the answer verbally. In each, the children were asked to find a known object from a set of pictures.
The results revealed significant differences in children’s performance across the tasks depending on shyness. Shyer children did worse on the production task than their less-shy counterparts. However, all children performed well on the pointing task regardless of their shyness level. The looking task produced a little more different results, indicating that shyer children were occasionally more accurate but less likely to respond.
“A child’s temperament, especially their shyness, could strongly impact how they will do in language tasks,” said Kucker. “When children are given assessments to evaluate their language abilities, clinicians and teachers should take into account the child’s shyness level, perhaps using tasks that are less burdensome for them, such as pointing tasks instead of verbal ones.”
Kucker believes acknowledging the impact of shyness will help professionals ensure language assessments are more effective and provide a more comprehensive understanding of a child’s linguistic development. Moving forward, she and her team plan to explore the performance of shy and less-shy children on standardized language assessments.
8. What is the main purpose of the research conducted by Sarah Kucker?
A. To develop new language assessment tasks for young children.
B. To compare the intelligence levels of shy and less-shy children.
C. To identify the root causes of shyness in children under four years old.
D. To understand shyness impact on kids’ performance in language assessments.
9. Why did the researcher ask parents to answer a questionnaire?
A. To assign tasks accordingly. B. To judge the children’s ability.
C. To assess the children’s shyness. D. To know about the children’s strength.
10. What can be inferred about the pointing task?
A. It was the hardest task. B. It favoured shy children.
C. It was too easy for children. D. It was unaffected by shyness.
11. Which field can the findings be applied to?
A. Language learning. B. Character building.
C. Behaviour management. D. Task designing.
D
Have you ever worried that you might smell bad? Well, you do have a smell, but not in the way you think. The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations.
In 1971, chemist Linus Pauling identified 250 different gaseous chemicals in our breath, known as VOCs. These VOCs originate from the body’s metabolic (新陈代谢) processes and are excreted (排泄) through skin glands. While sweat contributes to these VOCs, it only accounts for a small portion of them.
VOCs can reveal a lot about our health. For example, a sweet-smelling breath could be a sign of diabetes. Besides breath, VOCs are also released from our skin, and feces (粪便). A notable case involved Joy Milne, who noticed a change in her husband’s smell 12 years before he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Known as “the woman who can smell Parkinson’s,” Joy has been using her keen sense of smell to help scientists develop a simple swab (拭子) test to diagnose the illnesses.
Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these smells are often undetectable to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different smells when something is wrong.
The relationship between VOCs and our health is still being studied. Studies have already shown that they can predict a person’s age within a few years based on their skin VOC profile. In one interview, Professor Morin stated, “We are at a relatively early stage in this research area, but we have already distinguished males from females based on the acidity of skin VOCs. We believe skin VOCs can reveal aspects of who we are, such as nutrition, health and stress. These signatures likely contain markers that can be used to diagnose disease.”
So, who knows — maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device.
12. What do we know about the VOCs according to the text?
A. Skin VOCs reveal more about our health conditions.
B. The VOCs mostly come from sweat.
C. VOCs only released from our skin can indicate health status.
D. Our body’s metabolic processes are the source of VOCs.
13. Why does the author mention animals in Paragraph 4?
A. To show the amazing wisdom of animals.
B. To stress we must depend on pets more to detect cancer.
C. To explain VOCs have the capability to cure cancers.
D. To highlight VOCs’ potential as diagnostic markers.
14. What future technology might arise from the understanding of VOCs?
A. Equipment that can analyze VOCs to diagnose diseases.
B. Devices that can breathe out disease-causing VOCs.
C Advanced facilities that can use VOCs to cure diseases.
D. Personalized perfumes that can mask disease-related VOCs.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Morin’s Contributions to VOCs
B. The Function of Sweat in Our Health
C. Detecting Diseases Through Body Smells
D. Body Smell Resulting in Diseases
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。
Once upon a time, sewing and mending (缝补) clothes was common. At some point in the last few decades, though, it became something of a lost art. ____16____ Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed and fast fashion became increasingly popular. All of a sudden, it’s more inconvenient to fix something than it is to buy something new.
But all hope is not lost. ____17____ On one of the most pleasant corners of the Internet, you’ll find lots of videos showcasing everything from visible mending to beginner sewing journeys.
____18____ Mending is a great way to reject consumerism. As any eco-expert will tell you, the best thing you can do is buy less to begin with. That means shopping for quality items that will stand the test of time, but also learning a few key skills so you can repair those items as needed rather than sentencing them to life in an already-overflowing landfill. It’s also helpful to customize (改制) secondhand items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date. ____19____
Beyond the functional benefits, mending is about using what you have, embracing imperfections, fixing what’s broken, and rejecting the idea that newer is better. The other aspect of mending is mindfulness. You focus on the task at hand and use your creativity to make your clothes unique. It’s meditative (冥想的), slow work. ____20____ And an added bonus: It’s sustainable.
If you are interested in sewing and mending, it is the perfect time to learn the new skill, which can especially have a positive impact on the world.
A. Why should you learn to mend?
B. This is a means of making a living.
C. It’s productive, and deeply satisfying.
D. Purchasing secondhand clothes is a good choice.
E. Why have people stopped mending their clothing?
F. This way, you may find yourself upcycling pieces into ones that suit you.
G. In the past few years, there’s been growing interest in slow fashion — sewing and mending.

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 of my favorite possessions is a little red can. It sits among my collections, looking somewhat old and out of place. But this can is special. It has a history. It was dear to me when I was younger, but mean even more to me now.
I’ve always loved to visit my grandparents in Cleburne, Texas, and as anyone in the family can tell you, there is always a gathering around the dining room table for meals and conversations so that we can keep in touch closely. It is important to keep in touch with the family members since we are busy with our own business, so my family members keep the tradition to have the gathering every month. We enjoy the moment when all of us meet in a place and communication helps us to solve the problem of isolation. As the first grandbaby, though, I was at a slight disadvantage. When I sat in the dining chair, only my nose could reach the table. Cleburne is a small town with a small population, and the phone book could only lift me an inch. So, Grandma and Grandpa came up with the idea of the little red can.
It was about ten inches high, made of tin, and painted a glorious shiny red. It worked perfectly, enabling me to bang away on the table with my little spoon and cup as I tried to keep up with the joyful talks around the table. After I finished a meal, I was placed on the floor, and the can was opened, and all sorts of surprises kept me busy while the adults visited. The can was full of lovely dolls which attracted little girls like me greatly. Besides, there were fresh and novel items that were mysterious to me and left me to explore.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Pretty soon, other grandbabies started to arrive, and each of them had their own turn on the little red can. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Decades later, Grandma proudly pulled out the little red can again when I traveled to Cleburne with my daughter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Grace is just 16 years old — at the age when most teenagers have not even completed high school, Grace has graduated from Florida Atlantic University (FAU) with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. What’s even more astonishing is that the brilliant girl received her high school diploma from Florida Atlantic High School a week after she had graduated college!
While pursuing two diplomas would have been enough to keep most kids busy, Grace, who graduated with a 3.86 grade-point average, seemed to even find time to play the flute (长笛) for two bands.
Though this youngest FAU graduate has attracted national attention with her unique accomplishments, for Grace, this is not deviant. That’s because she comes from a family of overachievers. Her 19-year-old sister Gisla, who is currently pursuing a master’s degree, also graduated at 16, while her 17-year-old sister Gabrielle, is already pursuing her master’s degree and is scheduled to graduate from FAU this summer.
Grace’s education began when she was a toddler (刚学会走路的孩子). She learned to read by snuggling (依偎) close to her two sisters while they were being taught and was proficient by the time she turned two. From then on, her mother decided to include Grace in all the school sessions she had with her two elder sisters. Not surprisingly, by the time she turned 13, the home schooled girl was ready for high school and college.
Grace plans to return to FAU in the fall to pursue a master’s degree. Following that, the young girl wants to obtain a law degree and pursue a career that she hopes will end as a judge on the US Supreme Court.
4. What is Grace Bush interested in besides studying?
A. Forming bands. B. Playing an instrument.
C. Reading novels. D. Writing articles.
5. What does the underlined word “deviant” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Abnormal. B. Awkward. C. Visible. D. Constant.
6. How did Grace Bush receive education before she was 13 years old?
A. She was taught at home. B. She went to school as other kids.
C. She learned from her sisters. D. She learned by herself.
7. Which of the following can best describe Grace?
A. Humble and humorous. B. Sporty and hardworking.
C. Brilliant and ambitious. D. Shy and innocent.

A recent study from SMU psychologist Sarah Kucker at Oklahoma State University suggests shyness can influence a child’s performance in language assessments, depending on the level of social interaction required to complete the test.
Shy children tend to be reserved in everyday life, including communicating with others. The study concludes that the behaviour can make accurately assessing a child’s language abilities more challenging since shy children find it harder to verbally (语言地) engage with clinicians (临床医师) and teachers than during less socially demanding tests.
The research involved 122 children of varying temperaments (性格) between the ages of17 and 42 months, whose parents reported their child’s shyness using an early childhood behaviour questionnaire. Each child underwent a series of three language tasks that required different levels of social interaction: a looking task, a pointing task, and a production task that required children to say the answer verbally. In each, the children were asked to find a known object from a set of pictures.
The results revealed significant differences in children’s performance across the tasks depending on shyness. Shyer children did worse on the production task than their less-shy counterparts. However, all children performed well on the pointing task regardless of their shyness level. The looking task produced a little more different results, indicating that shyer children were occasionally more accurate but less likely to respond.
“A child’s temperament, especially their shyness, could strongly impact how they will do in language tasks,” said Kucker. “When children are given assessments to evaluate their language abilities, clinicians and teachers should take into account the child’s shyness level, perhaps using tasks that are less burdensome for them, such as pointing tasks instead of verbal ones.”
Kucker believes acknowledging the impact of shyness will help professionals ensure language assessments are more effective and provide a more comprehensive understanding of a child’s linguistic development. Moving forward, she and her team plan to explore the performance of shy and less-shy children on standardized language assessments.
8. What is the main purpose of the research conducted by Sarah Kucker?
A. To develop new language assessment tasks for young children.
B. To compare the intelligence levels of shy and less-shy children.
C. To identify the root causes of shyness in children under four years old.
D. To understand shyness impact on kids’ performance in language assessments.
9. Why did the researcher ask parents to answer a questionnaire?
A. To assign tasks accordingly. B. To judge the children’s ability.
C. To assess the children’s shyness. D. To know about the children’s strength.
10. What can be inferred about the pointing task?
A. It was the hardest task. B. It favoured shy children.
C. It was too easy for children. D. It was unaffected by shyness.
11. Which field can the findings be applied to?
A. Language learning. B. Character building.
C. Behaviour management. D. Task designing.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A

Have you ever worried that you might smell bad? Well, you do have a smell, but not in the way you think. The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations.
In 1971, chemist Linus Pauling identified 250 different gaseous chemicals in our breath, known as VOCs. These VOCs originate from the body’s metabolic (新陈代谢) processes and are excreted (排泄) through skin glands. While sweat contributes to these VOCs, it only accounts for a small portion of them.
VOCs can reveal a lot about our health. For example, a sweet-smelling breath could be a sign of diabetes. Besides breath, VOCs are also released from our skin, and feces (粪便). A notable case involved Joy Milne, who noticed a change in her husband’s smell 12 years before he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Known as “the woman who can smell Parkinson’s,” Joy has been using her keen sense of smell to help scientists develop a simple swab (拭子) test to diagnose the illnesses.
Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these smells are often undetectable to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different smells when something is wrong.
The relationship between VOCs and our health is still being studied. Studies have already shown that they can predict a person’s age within a few years based on their skin VOC profile. In one interview, Professor Morin stated, “We are at a relatively early stage in this research area, but we have already distinguished males from females based on the acidity of skin VOCs. We believe skin VOCs can reveal aspects of who we are, such as nutrition, health and stress. These signatures likely contain markers that can be used to diagnose disease.”
So, who knows — maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device.
12 What do we know about the VOCs according to the text?
A. Skin VOCs reveal more about our health conditions.
B. The VOCs mostly come from sweat.
C. VOCs only released from our skin can indicate health status.
D. Our body’s metabolic processes are the source of VOCs.
13. Why does the author mention animals in Paragraph 4?
A. To show the amazing wisdom of animals.
B. To stress we must depend on pets more to detect cancer.
C. To explain VOCs have the capability to cure cancers.
D. To highlight VOCs’ potential as diagnostic markers.
14. What future technology might arise from the understanding of VOCs?
A. Equipment that can analyze VOCs to diagnose diseases.
B. Devices that can breathe out disease-causing VOCs.
C. Advanced facilities that can use VOCs to cure diseases.
D. Personalized perfumes that can mask disease-related VOCs.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Morin’s Contributions to VOCs
B. The Function of Sweat in Our Health
C. Detecting Diseases Through Body Smells
D. Body Smell Resulting in Diseases
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了人体释放的VOCs与健康状况之间的关系,解释了这些化学物质的来源、它如何揭示健康信息,以及科研人员如何利用这些信息探索疾病诊断的可能性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These VOCs originate from the body’s metabolic(新陈代谢)processes and are excreted(排泄)through skin glands. (这些挥发性有机化合物来源于人体的代谢过程,并通过皮肤腺体排出体外。)”可知,我们身体的代谢过程是这些发挥性有机化合物的来源。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these smells are often undetectable to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different smells when something is wrong.(具有高级嗅觉的动物,如狗,已经证明它们可以检测出人类的各种癌症。虽然这些气味通常是人的鼻子无法察觉的,但它们提供了证据,表明我们的身体在出现问题时会发出不同的气味。)”可知,作者提到像狗这样的动物是为了强调VOCs作为疾病诊断标记的潜力,因为这些动物能够嗅出人类身上的不同疾病,说明VOCs确实携带了与健康相关的信息。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So, who knows — maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device. (所以,谁知道呢——也许有一天我们可以通过对着一个设备呼吸来检测疾病。)”可知,未来可能产生的技术是能够分析VOCs来诊断疾病的设备。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations. (人体每天向空气中释放数百种化合物,这些化合物揭示的不仅仅是我们的健康习惯;它们也可以表明我们的健康状况。)”以及全文内容可知,本文主要围绕着人体释放的VOCs如何反映健康状况,并有可能成为疾病诊断的工具这一主题展开。因此合适的标题为“Detecting Diseases through Body Smells”。故选C。

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。
Once upon a time, sewing and mending (缝补) clothes was common. At some point in the last few decades, though, it became something of a lost art. ____16____ Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed and fast fashion became increasingly popular. All of a sudden, it’s more inconvenient to fix something than it is to buy something new.
But all hope is not lost. ____17____ On one of the most pleasant corners of the Internet, you’ll find lots of videos showcasing everything from visible mending to beginner sewing journeys.
____18____ Mending is a great way to reject consumerism. As any eco-expert will tell you, the best thing you can do is buy less to begin with. That means shopping for quality items that will stand the test of time, but also learning a few key skills so you can repair those items as needed rather than sentencing them to life in an already-overflowing landfill. It’s also helpful to customize (改制) secondhand items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date. ____19____
Beyond the functional benefits, mending is about using what you have, embracing imperfections, fixing what’s broken, and rejecting the idea that newer is better. The other aspect of mending is mindfulness. You focus on the task at hand and use your creativity to make your clothes unique. It’s meditative (冥想的), slow work. ____20____ And an added bonus: It’s sustainable.
If you are interested in sewing and mending, it is the perfect time to learn the new skill, which can especially have a positive impact on the world.
A. Why should you learn to mend?
B. This is a means of making a living.
C. It’s productive, and deeply satisfying.
D. Purchasing secondhand clothes is a good choice.
E. Why have people stopped mending their clothing?
F. This way, you may find yourself upcycling pieces into ones that suit you.
G. In the past few years, there’s been growing interest in slow fashion — sewing and mending.

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 of my favorite possessions is a little red can. It sits among my collections, looking somewhat old and out of place. But this can is special. It has a history. It was dear to me when I was younger, but mean even more to me now.
I’ve always loved to visit my grandparents in Cleburne, Texas, and as anyone in the family can tell you, there is always a gathering around the dining room table for meals and conversations so that we can keep in touch closely. It is important to keep in touch with the family members since we are busy with our own business, so my family members keep the tradition to have the gathering every month. We enjoy the moment when all of us meet in a place and communication helps us to solve the problem of isolation. As the first grandbaby, though, I was at a slight disadvantage. When I sat in the dining chair, only my nose could reach the table. Cleburne is a small town with a small population, and the phone book could only lift me an inch. So, Grandma and Grandpa came up with the idea of the little red can.
It was about ten inches high, made of tin, and painted a glorious shiny red. It worked perfectly, enabling me to bang away on the table with my little spoon and cup as I tried to keep up with the joyful talks around the table. After I finished a meal, I was placed on the floor, and the can was opened, and all sorts of surprises kept me busy while the adults visited. The can was full of lovely dolls which attracted little girls like me greatly. Besides, there were fresh and novel items that were mysterious to me and left me to explore.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Pretty soon, other grandbabies started to arrive, and each of them had their own turn on the little red can. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Decades later, Grandma proudly pulled out the little red can again when I traveled to Cleburne with my daughter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Pretty soon, other grandbabies started to arrive, and each of them had their own turn on the little red can. Whenever the little red can performed its function perfectly, Grandma would watch with fascination and contentment. Those babies, like me, was more than thrilled and busy with those attractive toys and dolls inside the magic can. The little red can was not just a storage can but it also accompanied the grandbabies through their childhood. When the last grandbaby graduated to a “real chair”, this little red can was locked up in a closet for many years.
Decades later, Grandma proudly pulled out the little red can again when I traveled to Cleburne with my daughter. My daughter was the second generation to enjoy the little red can. It was a little worn, bent, and slightly rusty around an edge or two, but still worked perfectly, and my daughter loved it just as much as I had. To this day, the can is still my most treasured possession because I don’t want to lose touch with those happy memories of my childhood. It represents the love that is handed down from generation to generation.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,以人物为线索。作者的大家庭每月都会在祖父母家相聚,而作为家族里的第一个孙辈,小的时候她够不到桌子,于是祖母就准备了一个红色的罐子,作者坐在上面就可以够得着桌面。饭后罐子就会打开,里面有各种玩具可供作者玩耍。后来其他孙辈先后到来这个家庭,他们也像作者小时候那样使用这个红罐子。几十年后,作者带着女儿来到祖母家,女儿也使用了这个红罐子。虽然这个罐子有些陈旧,但它充满了童年的回忆和代代相传的爱。
【详解】1. 续写线索:
①由续写第一段首句“很快,其他的孙辈开始来了,他们每个人都轮流坐过这个小红罐。”和第二段首句“几十年后,当我和女儿去克利本旅行时,奶奶骄傲地再次拿出了红色的小罐子。”可知,第一段可以描述其他孙辈来到这个家庭中使用这个红罐子的情景,当最后一个孙辈用完之后,这个罐子就被收起来了。
②由续写第二段首句“几十年后,当我和女儿去克利本旅行时,奶奶骄傲地再次拿出了红色小罐子。”可知,第二段可以描述这个罐子再次被拿出来,被作者的女儿使用,虽然它有些旧了,但依然有用,它充满了童年的回忆和代代相传的爱。
