Growing up with movies such as “High School Musical” and “Grease”, which presented the ideal(理想的)high school friendships, we sometimes expect a perfect relationship. Indeed, some high school friendships can be real and simple; while still some high school students will meet a friend who causes trouble. With failed friendships come lessons and experiences learned for the future. You will know the influence after you leave high school.
“I was always worried about what my friends thought about me. Sometimes my friends would make fun of what I wore or what I would do. I always tried to get along well with them, but I realized how happy I was once I stopped contacting them after high school,” said Elisha, Class of 2020.
Most teens have not realized the big question when dealing with high school problems. In five years, will this still matter? It is hard looking at the big picture when the problems are in front of you, which is understandable. However, most teens need a moment to reflect (反思) and question if the problem matters in a long time.
Briana, a high school teacher, said, “Now, I am in contact with two high school friends. I think the friendship experiences I had in high school shaped who I am because I learned to be open minded and befriend all kinds of people. I learned to see people for who they are, not what they wear or who they play with. I learned most of all how to be a good friend.”
High school is a small part of your life, but it has a huge influence on who you will become and where you will go. Friendships and relationships help shape who you are, whether they are good or bad. Lessons are brought, and lessons are learned.
24. Why did the author mention the two movies in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the passage.
B. To explain what a high school friendship is.
C. To recommend these two movies to readers.
D To attract readers’ attention to these two movies.
25. What did Elisha think of her “friends”?
A. They made her unhappy. B. They cared about her behavior.
C. They got along well with her. D. They were always worried about her.
26. Why did Briana think her friendship experiences shape her?
A. She learned to play with her friends.
B. She learned to make different friends.
C. She learned to shape her friends’ minds.
D. She learned to wear just like her friends.
27. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Failed friendships made teens worried.
B. Good friendships greatly influenced teens.
C. High school friendships help to shape teens.
D. Friendships are difficult for teens to deal with,
C
Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear. The words used by young people in the UK are different from those used by adults. Living in a multicultural (多元文化的) society has an effect on language, especially on the language of the young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds.
Young British people use lots of language that you usually can’t find in many dictionaries. These extremely informal words and expressions are known as “slang (俚语)”. It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang — by the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashion.
However, not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently instructed its students to stop using slang words. The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak “correctly”, it will help them get a place at university and a good job.
When British people use language like this, it’s not surprising that some international students say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “International English”, there is no such thing as a native or a non-native speaker.
So, how important is it to understand these slang words and expressions? If you watch films or television programs in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics (歌词), then understanding slang can be very useful.
28. Why do young people use different words than adults?
A. The young live in a more multicultural society.
B. The young want to keep up with the society.
C. The young come from different backgrounds.
D. The young are educated differently at school.
29. What do we know about modern British slang words?
A. They are constantly changing.
B. They appear in many dictionaries.
C They are closely related to fashion.
D. They can be included in a complete list.
30. Why are slang words forbidden in a school in Sheffield?
A. Teachers there don’t like slang words.
B. Using slang words harms students’ future.
C. Slang words are not allowed in universities.
D. Students there have poor communication skills.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Slang helps us to connect to the people around.
B. Non-native speakers of English needn’t learn slang.
C. Slang is used in various ways in English today.
D. English slang will enjoy a wider use.
D
As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it. Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, mainly because of the responsibilities for younger children given to them by their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders.
Studies of nearly 300 people have found that a person’s first child is usually the most strongly motivated towards achievement. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move towards such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become accustomed in the very early years to acting alone, they may have difficulty making close friends.
By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing. Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others.
32. What does the underlined word “overbearing” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Trying to make other people obey without considering their ideas or feelings.
B. Being unable to express what one really feels or like to listen to follow others’ ideas.
C. liking depending on others and think others are right.
D. Changing easily to adapt to new needs, conditions or ideas.
33. What might a younger child want to be according to the passage?
A. A librarian. B. A doctor. C. A writer. D. A teacher.
34. Why may later children become good sellers?
A. They feel uneasy when making decisions for other people.
B. They are very good at persuading others.
C. They have great wish to develop leadership.
D. They are good at selling books and enjoying freedom.
35. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Which Is Better: Being the Eldest or the Youngest?
B. Birth Order and Marriage
C. The Relation Between Birth Order and Job Success
D. Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality

8-year-old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan? Do you want flowers?” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me?”
“A job?” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me?” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan? I’d be delighted to have you here.”
“I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom.

Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter.

【原文】W: Mark, where are we going?
M: To a house. It’s just down this road. It’s a small place, but at least it would be our own house. Didn’t I tell you? It used to be my manager’s house.
W: A house? How can we afford to buy a house?
M: It isn’t very large. We wouldn’t have to pay very much right now. But it needs to be fixed up a bit. We can do that ourselves.
W: Is there a balcony?
M: Yes. And it is about ten square meters. That’s plenty of space.
W: Then we can grow some vegetables. I actually want to plant watermelons. But it doesn’t seem realistic.
M: Well, it really isn’t big enough to grow vegetables or watermelons. I think we can try to grow some flowers.
W: Flowers? They have to be looked after with great care.
M: We are used to that kind of work, aren’t we?
W: Yes, we are, but do we have enough time to take care of them?
M: I think we can buy flowers that are easy to grow, and we can take turns watering them.
W: OK.

18. What does the speaker mainly talk about at first?
A. Ways to be a good listener.
B. The importance of listening.
C. The differences between listening and speaking.
19. Why does the speaker mention parents?
A. To state listening is a kind of love.

C. To prove listening is polite behavior.
20. What is impolite behavior according to the speaker?
A. Listening with respect.
B. Expressing ideas to others.
C. Forgetting to listen to others.
【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: A person has two ears but only one mouth. That means we should listen, not just speak. The word “listen” has the same letters as the word “silent”. Listening silently is a good quality that we should have. Then why is it important to be a good listener?
Listening is really helpful. When someone is sad or angry, he wants to express his poor feelings. At this moment, we need to listen silently first until he gets calm. Then we may have a good talk with him. Maybe it is a good way to help him out.
Listening is a kind of love. For example, we may think our parents are always talking too much. But in fact, they do so because they are anxious about our health, study and so on. If we listen patiently, our parents will feel we care about them. Silent love is often more powerful than words.
Listening is polite behavior. Sometimes, we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to others. In fact, that’s not polite. In order to show our respect for others, we had better listen to them first. Then we can express our ideas.
Listening sounds easy, but it’s not. So we should learn to listen with our ears, eyes and hearts as much as we can.

Growing up with movies such as “High School Musical” and “Grease”, which presented the ideal(理想的)high school friendships, we sometimes expect a perfect relationship. Indeed, some high school friendships can be real and simple; while still some high school students will meet a friend who causes trouble. With failed friendships come lessons and experiences learned for the future. You will know the influence after you leave high school.
“I was always worried about what my friends thought about me. Sometimes my friends would make fun of what I wore or what I would do. I always tried to get along well with them, but I realized how happy I was once I stopped contacting them after high school,” said Elisha, Class of 2020.
Most teens have not realized the big question when dealing with high school problems. In five years, will this still matter? It is hard looking at the big picture when the problems are in front of you, which is understandable. However, most teens need a moment to reflect (反思) and question if the problem matters in a long time.
Briana, a high school teacher, said, “Now, I am in contact with two high school friends. I think the friendship experiences I had in high school shaped who I am because I learned to be open minded and befriend all kinds of people. I learned to see people for who they are, not what they wear or who they play with. I learned most of all how to be a good friend.”
High school is a small part of your life, but it has a huge influence on who you will become and where you will go. Friendships and relationships help shape who you are, whether they are good or bad. Lessons are brought, and lessons are learned.
24. Why did the author mention the two movies in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the passage.
B. To explain what a high school friendship is.
C. To recommend these two movies to readers.
D. To attract readers’ attention to these two movies.
25. What did Elisha think of her “friends”?
A. They made her unhappy. B. They cared about her behavior.
C. They got along well with her. D. They were always worried about her.
26. Why did Briana think her friendship experiences shape her?
A. She learned to play with her friends.
B. She learned to make different friends.
C. She learned to shape her friends’ minds.
D. She learned to wear just like her friends.
27. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Failed friendships made teens worried.
B. Good friendships greatly influenced teens.
C. High school friendships help to shape teens.

Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear. The words used by young people in the UK are different from those used by adults. Living in a multicultural (多元文化的) society has an effect on language, especially on the language of the young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds.
Young British people use lots of language that you usually can’t find in many dictionaries. These extremely informal words and expressions are known as “slang (俚语)”. It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang — by the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashion.
However, not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently instructed its students to stop using slang words. The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak “correctly”, it will help them get a place at university and a good job.
When British people use language like this it’s not surprising that some international students say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “International English”, there is no such thing as a native or a non-native speaker.
So, how important is it to understand these slang words and expressions? If you watch films or television programs in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics (歌词), then understanding slang can be very useful.
28. Why do young people use different words than adults?
A. The young live in a more multicultural society.
B. The young want to keep up with the society.
C. The young come from different backgrounds.
D. The young are educated differently at school.
29. What do we know about modern British slang words?
A. They are constantly changing.
B. They appear in many dictionaries.
C. They are closely related to fashion.
D. They can be included in a complete list.
30. Why are slang words forbidden in a school in Sheffield?
A. Teachers there don’t like slang words.
B. Using slang words harms students’ future.
C. Slang words are not allowed in universities.
D. Students there have poor communication skills.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Slang helps us to connect to the people around.
B. Non-native speakers of English needn’t learn slang.
C. Slang is used in various ways in English today.
D. English slang will enjoy a wider use.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新的单词和短语一直在出现,语言一直在变。一些语言比如说俚语在字典里是找不到的,但是俚语对于外语学习者也有很大影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The words used by young people in the UK are different from those used by adults. Living in a multicultural (多元文化的) society has an effect on language, especially on the language of the young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. (在英国,年轻人用的词和成年人用的词不一样。生活在一个多元文化的社会中会对语言产生影响,尤其是对年轻人的语言,因为他们的朋友往往来自不同的背景。)”可知,年轻人生活在一个更加多元化的社会,所以他们和成年人的用词不同,故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang —by the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashion. (要列出一份完整的现代英国俚语清单是不可能的——当清单完成时,它已经过时了!新词像时尚一样来来去去。)” 可知,现代英国俚语变化非常快,故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently instructed its students to stop using slang words. The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak “correctly”, it will help them get a place at university and a good job. (英国北部谢菲尔德的一所学校最近要求学生停止使用俚语。校长说,如果年轻人学会“正确”说话,这将有助于他们在大学里获得一个好位置和一份好工作。)”可知,谢菲尔德的一所学校禁止使用俚语,这样做是为了他们在大学里获得一个好位置和一份好工作,即学校禁止使用俚语是因为俚语对学生的未来有害,故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If you watch films or television programs in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics (歌词), then understanding slang can be very useful. (如果你看英语电影或电视节目,读英语杂志,在网上用英语聊天,或者对英语歌词感兴趣,那么理解俚语会很有用。)”可推知,英语俚语在很多领域,以很多方式被运用。故选C。
D
As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it. Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life, mainly because of the responsibilities for younger children given to them by their parents. The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限), he or she can become an overbearing person who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders.
Studies of nearly 300 people have found that a person’s first child is usually the most strongly motivated towards achievement. This is mainly the result of parental expectations. Research also suggests that firstborn children generally become more conservative than other children because they receive most of the parental orders and rules. Used to caring for others, they are more likely to move towards such leadership professions as teaching and politics. Less social and flexible because they become accustomed in the very early years to acting alone, they may have difficulty making close friends.
By contrast, the researchers say later children are more likely to be more relaxed and sociable than the eldest child because their parents are more relaxed. However, later children are often less ambitious and may be uncomfortable making decisions for others, and will seek work that fits their needs. This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing. Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children. Younger children tend to remain forever “the baby” enjoyable to be around, but at times too dependent on others.
32. What does the underlined word “overbearing” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Trying to make other people obey without considering their ideas or feelings.
B. Being unable to express what one really feels or like to listen to follow others’ ideas.
C. liking depending on others and think others are right.
D. Changing easily to adapt to new needs, conditions or ideas.
33. What might a younger child want to be according to the passage?
A. A librarian. B. A doctor. C. A writer. D. A teacher.
34. Why may later children become good sellers?
A They feel uneasy when making decisions for other people.
B. They are very good at persuading others.
C. They have great wish to develop leadership.
D. They are good at selling books and enjoying freedom.
35. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Which Is Better: Being the Eldest or the Youngest?
B. Birth Order and Marriage
C. The Relation Between Birth Order and Job Success
D. Effects of Birth Order on One’s Personality
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家庭中孩子的出生顺序会对他们的性格以及未来发展产生影响,并对不同顺序的孩子所具有的特点和未来从事的职业进行了详细说明。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Big brothers and sisters usually develop leadership early in life(大哥哥大姐姐通常在很小的时候就培养了领导能力)”可知,哥哥和姐姐通常在早期生活中就培养了领导能力;再根据划线词前的内容“The danger is that if the older child takes that role to an extreme (极限)(危险在于,如果年龄较大的孩子把这个角色发挥到极限)”和后面“who won’t listen to others because they think they are the leaders(不听别人的话,因为他们认为自己是领导者)”可知,如果年龄较大的孩子将“领导”这一角色发挥到极致,他们就可能会成为一个“不顾他人的想法和感受,试图让他人服从”的人。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This may help explain why younger children are easy to like jobs such as music, art, and writing.(这可能有助于解释为什么年龄较小的孩子容易喜欢音乐、美术和写作等工作)”可推知,年龄较小的孩子可能想要成为一位作家。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Later children may be good sellers because persuasion (劝说) may have been the only tool they had to deal with older children.(后生的孩子可能是很好的卖家,因为说服可能是他们对付大孩子的唯一工具)”可知,后出生的孩子可能会成为很好的卖家,因为他们非常善于说服别人。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段第一句“As birth order (出生顺序) is clearly one of the many reasons that affect development, we should pay much attention to it.(由于出生顺序显然是影响发育的众多原因之一,我们应该多加注意)”提出文章主题,文章主要说明了家庭中孩子的出生顺序会对他们的性格以及未来发展产生影响,并对不同顺序出生的孩子所具有的特点和未来可能从事的职业进行了详细说明。由此可知,D项“出生顺序对一个人性格的影响”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英语作为全球通用语言的普及原因及其重要性,并鼓励读者无论来自哪里都应该学好英语。
【56题详解】
考查数词。句意:我们都知道全球有数百万人说英语。millions of是固定短语,意为“数百万的;大量的”,表示概数。故填millions。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:我们都知道全球有数百万人说英语。提示词修饰整个句子,用副词globally作状语,意为“全球地”。故填globally。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:大约有60个国家把英语作为官方语言。“ have English as their official language”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词countries,关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语,用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。
【59题详解】
考查时态。句意:几个世纪以来,大英帝国不断扩张,统治了许多不同的国家。动词rule(统治)与expanded是并列谓语动词,与主语之间是主动关系,用一般过去时态描述过去发生的事情。故填ruled。
【60题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:在许多情况下,他们统治下的人民被迫说英语,尽管英语不是他们的主要语言,但其中一些国家仍然说英语。force(强迫)是主句谓语动词,与主语the people之间是被动关系,根据语境可知,句中讲述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是people,谓语用复数形式。故填were forced。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:真的值得花费那么多时间和精力去学习英语吗?It is worth doing sth.是固定句型,意为“值得做某事”,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是动名词短语putting all that time and effort into learning English。故填putting。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:英语对于各种职业和个人目标来说都是一种重要的语言。可数名词language在句中表示“一种重要的语言”,泛指,且important发音以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【63题详解】
考查连词。句意:无论你是刚开始学英语,还是需要一些动力继续前进,理解语言的重要性将帮助你达到流利水平,并极大地改变你的生活。whether...or...是复合连词,意为“无论……还是……”,引导让步状语从句。故填or。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:无论你是刚开始学英语,还是需要一些动力继续前进,理解语言的重要性将帮助你达到流利水平,并极大地改变你的生活。提示词作宾语,用名词importance,意为“重要性”,不可数名词。故填importance。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:所以,无论你来自哪里,学好英语是明智的。It is wise of sb. to do sth.是固定句型,意为“某人做某事是明智的”,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式to learn English。故填to learn。

8-year-old Evan was standing by the sidewalk when he noticed Mrs. Carter opening her shop again.
Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”.
85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day.
Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan? Do you want flowers?” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me?”
“A job?” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him.
Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me?” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded.
Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better.
A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan? I’d be delighted to have you here.”
“I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. “Happy birthday, Mom!” he cried, running up to her. Stacey was shocked at the huge bouquet. “Where did you get it?” she asked. When Evan told the whole story, Stacey was delighted and hugged her son closely. Evan smiled and was about to give her the bouquet when he suddenly noticed the envelope. He pulled it out and found the money in it. “But I told Mrs. Carter not to pay me! I think this got here by mistake!” said Evan.
Paragraph 2:
Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they reached her shop and were about to return the money, Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “It’s my pay for Evan. He did a very good job. Keep it. The flowers are my gift for you.” Stacey was grateful for Mrs. Carter’s kindness and invited her home for dinner that night to celebrate her birthday together. From then on, Stacey started to join Evan in helping Mrs. Carter in her shop and they became friends.
