 It was a week after my mom had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an e-mail from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick (刺痛) my heart, as cancer was the disease that took my mother away from

me.

But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — stuck with me. I felt obliged (有义务的) to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation contributed to our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.

When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.

So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get in my way.

Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there before college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.

I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight was lifted from my shoulders.

When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.

Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.

24．Why did the author ignore the e-mail in the beginning?

A．She felt it hard to finish the race. 

B．She had no time to join in the event.

C．She was reminded of her mother’s death. 

D．She thought the research meaningless.

25．What does the underlined part “religiously” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Optimistically.  B．Carelessly. C．Carefully. D．Quickly.

26．Which of the words can best describe the author’s mom?

A．Strong-willed and caring. B．Considerate and polite.

C．Brave and humorous. D．Outgoing and patient.

27．What might be the best title for the passage?

A．The Loss of Sweet Memories: Running With Mom

B．Running With Mom’s memory: A Healing Journey

C．Mom’s Journey of Healing: Racing With Honor

D．In Memory of Mom: An Honored Run

I have had a lifelong passion for sewing (缝, 做针线活). When I was 7, my mother showed me how to stitch with a needle and thread, and it was my favorite pastime (休闲活动) when it was too cold and snowy to play outside. As a teenager, I began to design and sew my own outfits. I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and I’d sit at the old sewing machine for hours.

In my late 20s, my focus shifted towards giving new life to used clothes. I began to buy used clothes to upcycle (升级改造) and refashion. My favorite places to buy used clothes are thrift shops (旧货店). This pursuit wasn’t just about fashion; it was about storytelling through clothing.

About 10 years ago, when I was ripping out the silk lining (内衬) from a beautiful long blue evening dress, I stopped. There was a hidden pocket in the front that I failed to notice as I merrily ripped at the scams (接缝). I pulled out an old photo of a young woman wearing the very same blue evening dress. A long silver chain necklace hung gracefully down the front of the dress, and she was holding a black purse. She had a soft smile, and she looked to be in her early 20s. This moment was an awakening for me; it connected me to the unknown histories of the clothes I worked with.

Somebody else wore this dress many years ago. Who was she? Did she wear it to the theater? To a fancy dinner party? And I was now tearing it apart. I felt guilty. I mentioned my concerns and guilt to my daughter. She said, “Mom, you should be proud of your upcycling and your sewing creations. You are keeping clothes out of the landfill (垃圾填埋场), and you’re creating new fashions. Consider it a bonus (意外收获) if you find objects in the pockets. The clothes are talking to you!” Her words helped me see the value in my hobby, not just as a creative means of expressing but as a means of preserving stories and preventing waste.

I decided to pay respect to this upcycling discovery and the many others I’ve found over the years by displaying them on a bulletin board in my sewing room. These discoveries have made me enjoy refashioning and upcycling clothes even more. And this evolution in my sewing practice has not only enhanced my appreciation for the art of upcycling but has also deepened
