If you are planning a trip, you may be wondering what might be in your line of travel when it comes to unique buildings. There are some unusual, unique buildings you should put on your travel bucket list.
Capital Gate-Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Capital Gate is one of the tallest buildings in Abu Dhabi. According to the Guinness World Records, Capital Gate is the world’s farthest leaning, man-made tower. The structure leans at an 18 degree angle, and intentionally so. This is a lean about 5 times greater than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Svalbard Global Seed Vault-Longyearbyen, Norway
Nothing grand or stunning about this structure, from a visual perspective. But, in some way, the future of civilization may depend on the work done at the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is designed to store millions of different types of seeds for the replanting of various crops in the event of any number of major global disasters. The building comes complete with blast-proof doors, airlocks, and motion sensors.
Palace of the Parliament-Bucharest, Romania
The Palace of the Parliament is the second largest administrative building on the planet. Indeed, it is so big that it can be seen from space. The structure was commissioned by the last communist dictator to rule in Romania. A fraction of the building is in use today, most of it sitting idle.
Lotus Temple-Delhi, India
If in India, a visitor interested in building and architecture should also check out the Lotus Temple in Delhi. The Lotus Temple is indeed designed to mimic the appearance of the flower. The Lotus Temple is a Bahai house of worship completed in 1986.

When I was a girl of eight, living in a town, I used to work for Mrs. White, an elderly lady. She paid me very little for my work, because she didn’t have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present. The girls I played with had baseball gloves, bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these. On Christmas morning, Mrs. White gave me a little package which could hardly hold anything. I was painfully disappointed but she told me it was a kind of magic. My disappointment turned into curiosity.
With great excitement I opened the package, only to find a pile of ten sheets of black paper inside, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. I didn’t know what it was. “Is it magic?” I asked. My Aunt Karen, who was a school teacher, answered, “It really is!” She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet. Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name!
I was enthralled. I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It was a game I didn’t want to end. I was very happy with my special gift. I can honestly say that, in that one moment, I understood as much about printing, copying words and the mystery of spreading ideas as I have learned in the remaining half-century of my life.
I hope that this year some boys and girls will receive, from thoughtful adults who really love them, gifts that will shock them. It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades.
4. Why did Mrs. White promise to give the girl a Christmas present?
A. She wanted to meet the child’s wish. B. She rewarded the girl for her good work.
C. She gave gifts to every child in the town. D. She wanted to make up for the low salary.
5. What do we know about Carbon Paper Regal Premium?
A. It is used in school teaching. B. It is made by special magicians.
C. It usually consists of colorful paper. D. It can copy something written on paper.
6. What does the underlined sentence “I was enthralled.” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. I was addicted to Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
B. I was curious about Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
C. I was confused about Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
D. I was shocked there was a name on the second sheet.
7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A Children should work for others to get a gift. B. A gift with long-term effects is a better choice.
C. Children need to receive a gift that they want. D. Carbon Paper Regal Premium is a perfect gift.
C
New research paints a lifestyle picture of the beloved pandas in China’s Wolong Nature Reserve, and the new study indicates pandas are around others more than previously thought. They use scent (气味) marking to keep track of both family members and friends, leave updates about life events, and check out the dating scene.
Thomas Connor, lead author of the study, spent months watching for signs of pandas. “Once you’ve gotten an eye for it, you can see on hill tops and different trails the scent-marking trees, and the pandas seem to be doing this a lot,” Connor says. “It is pretty evident that they are exchanging information through scent marking behavior.”
To link the marked trees with an understanding of panda’s social structure, the researchers needed to document nearby panda communities. Connor teamed up with coauthor Ken Frank who said, “I told him that once he has data on which pandas are close to each other, we can use the techniques and theories that apply to humans to understand their social networks. And these scent trees are a social media. Like Facebook, you don’t have to be in the same place at the same time. It allows one to broadcast to many, and it’s a record.
Connor dug into a wealth of data he had collected in the form of fresh panda waste, which is the gold standard of panda watching. Information from the waste allowed them to identify specific pandas in the area around the scent-marking trees, and showed if these pandas were related to each other.
The discoveries in this study show that pandas are a part of coupled human and natural systems where humans share their habitat. Anything about how they live and what they need can ultimately help inform good conservation policies and maybe understand our own behavior a little more.
8. Who tend to go around the pandas’ scent-marking trees?
A. Their family. B. Some strange pandas.
C Their keepers. D. Meat-sourced animals.
9. Why did pandas make so many scent markings according to Thomas Connor?
A. Because they need to extend their domain.
B. Because they use them to exchange information.
C. Because they want to expose themselves to others.
D. Because they tend to keep away from humans.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The purpose of the study. B. The research strategy of the study.
C. The further finding of the study. D. The influence of the discoveries.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To introduce a new research on pandas.
B. To explain the pandas’ scent marking behavior.
C. To emphasize the significance of knowing pandas.
D. To call for action to protect pandas.
D
In a world where everyone has their own opinions on just about everything, it’s common for people to be critical of each other’s mistakes and imperfections without noticing their own. Some individuals mistakenly think it’s their responsibility to make you into a better person. They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve.
So what is the possible solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, please stop. Make a conscious decision rather than highlight the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.
It’s crucial to stay connected to what the other person is talking about, and listen without getting upset, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve myself? As for chronic criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.
In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party.
12. What might the author think of people who like to judge others?
A. Self-centered. B. Responsible. C. Talkative. D. Warm-hearted.
13. What does a person mean by saying “OK” according to Paragraph 2?
A. He thinks the advice is helpful. B. He completely agrees with the comments.
C. He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments. D. He defends himself with the response.
14. What is the recommended action for dealing with chronic criticizers?
A. Embrace their views. B. Criticize them in return.
C. Avoid interaction if needed. D. Engage with them regularly.
15. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Art of Giving Criticism B. Mastering Self-Defense against Criticism
C. Dealing with Personal Relationships Flexibly D. The Path to Self-Improvement through Criticism

Building trust inside your team
A team without trust isn’t really a team: it’s just a group of individuals, working together, often making disappointing progress. ___16___ So how can you, as a leader, help your team to build the trust that it needs to develop? In this article, we’ll look at the issue of trust within teams and what you can do to build it.

This means trusting your team, your colleagues, and your boss. ___17___ They are taking cues(提示) from your behavior. Take the opportunity to show them what trust in others really looks like.
Know each other personally.

___19___ .
When people work together, there will be honest mistakes and disappointments, and it’s easy to blame someone for these. However, when everyone starts pointing fingers, an unpleasant atmosphere can quickly develop. This lowers trust, and is finally unproductive.
Discuss trust issues.
If you manage a team that has trust issues, it’s important to find out how these problems originate, so that you can come up with a strategy for overcoming them. Consider giving team members a questionnaire to fill out anonymously(匿名的). ___20___ Once you’ve read the results, get everyone together to talk about these issues.
A. Do not place blame.
B. Try to avoid mistakes and disappointments.
C. Ask them about the reasons for their lack of trust.

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。
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the animal shelter, Sarah walked through the rows of cages until her eyes landed on a small, trembling dog huddled (蜷缩) in the corner. “I think I’ve found the one, ” Sarah whispered softly to herself as she looked into the dog’s sad eyes. This timid, abandoned dog had no idea that a journey of transformation with friendly people lay in store for him.
The shelter staff explained that the dog, named Buddy, had a difficult past and was very shy and scared. Sarah extended a hand, offering a soothing tone, “Hey sweetie, you must have a story to tell, but from now on, you’ve got a buddy in me. ”
Bringing Buddy home was just the beginning of their journey, which was rocky at first for him. Everything was strange and new, causing him to hide under furniture and startle at every sound. Therefore, Sarah provided a cozy bed, delicious meals, and most importantly, heaps of love and comfort.
Slowly but surely, he started to emerge from his shell, wagging his tail tentatively and gazing at Sarah with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Under Sarah’s patient and loving guidance, Buddy flourished, even learning tricks and commands, and forming a deep bond with his new owner.
The journey of healing turned out to be a success. But Sarah had never expected it would bring about another one.
One day, while scrolling through social media, Sarah came across a heartwarming story about dogs being trained to assist children with autism (自闭症). Those children had social communication difficulties and had few facial expressions and gestures. Without hesitation, she inquired about the program and soon, Buddy was enrolled in training to become a certified therapy(治疗) dog. But she was unsure whether Buddy would be comfortable with the new challenge.
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。
Their first day at the therapy center was filled with uncertainty.

As the weeks progressed, Sarah noticed a remarkable change both in the children and Buddy.

When I was a girl of eight, living in a town, I used to work for Mrs. White, an elderly lady. She paid me very little for my work, because she didn’t have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present. The girls I played with had baseball gloves, bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these. On Christmas morning, Mrs. White gave me a little package which could hardly hold anything. I was painfully disappointed but she told me it was a kind of magic. My disappointment turned into curiosity.
With great excitement I opened the package, only to find a pile of ten sheets of black paper inside, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. I didn’t know what it was. “Is it magic?” I asked. My Aunt Karen, who was a school teacher, answered, “It really is!” She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet. Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name!
I was enthralled. I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It was a game I didn’t want to end. I was very happy with my special gift. I can honestly say that, in that one moment, I understood as much about printing, copying words and the mystery of spreading ideas as I have learned in the remaining half-century of my life.
I hope that this year some boys and girls will receive, from thoughtful adults who really love them, gifts that will shock them. It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades.

New research paints a lifestyle picture of the beloved pandas in China’s Wolong Nature Reserve, and the new study indicates pandas are around others more than previously thought. They use scent (气味) marking to keep track of both family members and friends, leave updates about life events, and check out the dating scene.
Thomas Connor, lead author of the study, spent months watching for signs of pandas. “Once you’ve gotten an eye for it, you can see on hill tops and different trails the scent-marking trees, and the pandas seem to be doing this a lot,” Connor says. “It is pretty evident that they are exchanging information through scent marking behavior.”
To link the marked trees with an understanding of panda’s social structure, the researchers needed to document nearby panda communities. Connor teamed up with coauthor Ken Frank who said, “I told him that once he has data on which pandas are close to each other, we can use the techniques and theories that apply to humans to understand their social networks. And these scent trees are a social media. Like Facebook, you don’t have to be in the same place at the same time. It allows one to broadcast to many, and it’s a record.
Connor dug into a wealth of data he had collected in the form of fresh panda waste, which is the gold standard of panda watching. Information from the waste allowed them to identify specific pandas in the area around the scent-marking trees, and showed if these pandas were related to each other.
The discoveries in this study show that pandas are a part of coupled human and natural systems where humans share their habitat. Anything about how they live and what they need can ultimately help inform good conservation policies and maybe understand our own behavior a little more.
8. Who tend to go around the pandas’ scent-marking trees?
A. Their family. B. Some strange pandas.
C. Their keepers. D. Meat-sourced animals.
9. Why did pandas make so many scent markings according to Thomas Connor?
A. Because they need to extend their domain.
B. Because they use them to exchange information.
C. Because they want to expose themselves to others.
D. Because they tend to keep away from humans.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The purpose of the study. B. The research strategy of the study.
C. The further finding of the study. D. The influence of the discoveries.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To introduce a new research on pandas.
B. To explain the pandas’ scent marking behavior.
C. To emphasize the significance of knowing pandas.
D. To call for action to protect pandas.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】

In a world where everyone has their own opinions on just about everything, it’s common for people to be critical of each other’s mistakes and imperfections without noticing their own. Some individuals mistakenly think it’s their responsibility to make you into a better person. They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve.
So what is the possible solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, please stop. Make a conscious decision rather than highlight the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.
It’s crucial to stay connected to what the other person is talking about, and listen without getting upset, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve myself? As for chronic criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.
In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party.
12. What might the author think of people who like to judge others?
A. Self-centered. B. Responsible. C. Talkative. D. Warm-hearted.
13. What does a person mean by saying “OK” according to Paragraph 2?
A. He thinks the advice is helpful. B. He completely agrees with the comments.
C. He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments. D. He defends himself with the response.
14. What is the recommended action for dealing with chronic criticizers?
A. Embrace their views. B. Criticize them in return.
C. Avoid interaction if needed. D. Engage with them regularly.
15. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Art of Giving Criticism B. Mastering Self-Defense against Criticism
C. Dealing with Personal Relationships Flexibly D. The Path to Self-Improvement through Criticism
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了如何正确地处理批评,无论是作为批评者还是被批评者,同时也提出了一些具体的策略,例如:通过简单地说“OK”来避免不必要的争论,以及如何对待那些习惯性批评他人的人。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Some individuals mistakenly think it’s their responsibility to make you into a better person. They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve.(有些人错误地认为他们有责任让你成为一个更好的人。他们首先直接指出你的缺点,然后就如何改进提供建议)”可知,作者可能认为这些人是自以为是,以自我为中心的。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.(相反,只需回答“OK”。这个简短的一个词的回应承认了对方的评论,但不同意它,也不觉得有必要就此展开辩论)”可知,对方通过说“OK”意在避免不必要的争论。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.(与他们建立严格的界限是很重要的。必要时离开他们)”可知,对于那些经常批评他人的人,文中推荐的行动是在必要时避免与他们互动。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a world where everyone has their own opinions on just about everything, it’s common for people to be critical of each other’s mistakes and imperfections without noticing their own. Some individuals mistakenly think it’s their responsibility to make you into a better person. They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve.(在一个每个人对每件事都有自己看法的世界里,人们对彼此的错误和不完美吹毛求疵,而不注意自己的错误和不完美,这是很常见的。有些人错误地认为他们有责任让你成为一个更好的人。他们首先直接指出你的缺点,然后就如何改进提供建议)”结合文章探讨了如何应对批评,无论是给出批评还是接受批评,并提出了一些建议和策略。故选D“通过批评走向自我提升”最为合适。故选D。

Building trust inside your team
A team without trust isn’t really a team: it’s just a group of individuals, working together, often making disappointing progress. ___16___ So how can you, as a leader, help your team to build the trust that it needs to develop? In this article, we’ll look at the issue of trust within teams and what you can do to build it.
Lead by example.
If you want to build trust within your team, then lead by example, and show your people that you trust others. This means trusting your team, your colleagues, and your boss. ___17___ They are taking cues(提示) from your behavior. Take the opportunity to show them what trust in others really looks like.

When people work together, there will be honest mistakes and disappointments, and it’s easy to blame someone for these. However, when everyone starts pointing fingers, an unpleasant atmosphere can quickly develop. This lowers trust, and is finally unproductive.
Discuss trust issues.
If you manage a team that has trust issues, it’s important to find out how these problems originate, so that you can come up with a strategy for overcoming them. Consider giving team members a questionnaire to fill out anonymously(匿名的). ___20___ Once you’ve read the results, get everyone together to talk about these issues.
A. Do not place blame.
B. Try to avoid mistakes and disappointments.
C. Ask them about the reasons for their lack of trust.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了侯晓蕾通过在北京胡同建造“微花园”来翻新旧城。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:该项目启动之际,北京的城市更新进入了大规模拆迁和重建让位给小规模“再生”项目的阶段。根据as引导的从句所使用的时态和句意可知,这里表示动作发生在过去,且The project和launch之间是动宾关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was launched。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:该项目启动之际,北京的城市更新进入了大规模拆迁和重建让位给小规模“再生”项目的阶段。此处引导限制性定语从句,先行词stage表示抽象地点,且从句中缺少地点状语,应用关系副词where。故填where。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:“我们希望升级北京老城的公共空间,增加居民对社区治理的参与,并为改善城市环境和文化做出贡献,”侯说。根据前面的upgrade...和increase...和后面的contribute...可知,前后之间是并列关系,应用and连接。故填and。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:侯和她的团队沿着北京市中心具有历史意义的街道,崇永街的一段,建造了由6000多株植物组成的微花园。空处应用副词修饰形容词significant,historically意为“历史上地”。故填historically。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:侯和她的团队已经建造了由6000多株植物组成的微型花园。consist of 表示“组成”,可知,这里应用介词of。故填of 。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:除了植物,花园里还有一些艺术装置,这些艺术装置以北京当地文化元素为特色,比如风筝和糖葫芦,一种传统的蜜饯小吃。分析句子结构,空处应用非谓语动词,且逻辑主语art installations和feature之间是主谓关系,所以应用现在分词的一般式,作后置定语。故填featuring。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:除了植物,花园里还有一些艺术装置,这些艺术装置以北京当地文化元素为特色,比如风筝和糖葫芦,一种传统的蜜饯小吃。snack意为“小吃”,为可数名词,这里说糖葫芦是一种传统的蜜饯小吃,表示泛指,且空后traditional的发音以辅音音素开头,所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:侯的团队在一些居民社区成立了园艺组织,教当地居民如何做园艺。此处表目的,所以用不定式to teach。故填to teach。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:侯说,该项目是一种创新的方式,通过创造性的园艺复兴老胡同,并将有助于北京老城的整体保护,北京老城拥有世界上最引人注目的宫殿、寺庙、广场、市场、街道、城墙和塔楼群之一,建于中国最后三个王朝时期。根据空前的“one of the world’s most remarkable”可知,空处应填名词,且需要变复数。collection意为“收集物,一批物品”,为可数名词。故填collections。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该项目反映了近年来对文化遗产保护的日益重视。分析句子结构,句子的谓语是reflects,所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语the increasing importance和attach之间是动宾关系,所以应用过去分词,作后置定语。attach importance to意为“重视”。故填attached。

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。
As the sun dipped below the horizon casting a warm glow over the animal shelter, Sarah walked through the rows of cages until her eyes landed on a small, trembling dog huddled (蜷缩) in the corner. “I think I’ve found the one, ” Sarah whispered softly to herself as she looked into the dog’s sad eyes. This timid, abandoned dog had no idea that a journey of transformation with friendly people lay in store for him.
The shelter staff explained that the dog, named Buddy, had a difficult past and was very shy and scared. Sarah extended a hand, offering a soothing tone, “Hey sweetie, you must have a story to tell, but from now on, you’ve got a buddy in me. ”
Bringing Buddy home was just the beginning of their journey, which was rocky at first for him. Everything was strange and new, causing him to hide under furniture and startle at every sound. Therefore, Sarah provided a cozy bed, delicious meals, and most importantly, heaps of love and comfort.
Slowly but surely, he started to emerge from his shell, wagging his tail tentatively and gazing at Sarah with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Under Sarah’s patient and loving guidance, Buddy flourished, even learning tricks and commands, and forming a deep bond with his new owner.
The journey of healing turned out to be a success. But Sarah had never expected it would bring about another one.
One day, while scrolling through social media, Sarah came across a heartwarming story about dogs being trained to assist children with autism (自闭症). Those children had social communication difficulties and had few facial expressions and gestures. Without hesitation, she inquired about the program and soon, Buddy was enrolled in training to become a certified therapy(治疗) dog. But she was unsure whether Buddy would be comfortable with the new challenge.
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。
Their first day at the therapy center was filled with uncertainty.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the weeks progressed, Sarah noticed a remarkable change both in the children and Buddy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Their first day at the therapy center was filled with uncertainty. The children, accustomed to their own company or limited interactions, were initially cautious about Buddy. Some would avoid eye contact, while others stood still observing from a distance. Buddy sensed the anxiety too and mirrored their calm, sitting patiently and occasionally offering a gentle touch with his nose to a child who seemed less afraid. Despite the initial challenges, Sarah was confident that Buddy would eventually adapt to this new environment and make a positive impact.
As the weeks progressed, Sarah noticed a remarkable change both in the children and Buddy. The once timid dog now eagerly approached the children, gently touching their hands with his nose and wagging his tail enthusiastically. In return, the children would stroke his soft fur and share their snacks with him. Their fear and hesitation gradually changed into smiles and laughter as they began to trust and form bonds with one another. It was evident that the journey of transformation that began in the animal shelter had now extended to the therapy center, where Buddy’s presence brought joy and comfort to those in need.
