It was the sight of her son，Justin，dragging a 36­kilogram portable air conditioner upstairs. Beverly's central air conditioning had stopped working in the middle of a 32 ℃ heatwave. She had mentioned it to her son and he'd shown up as a surprise. As she watched him sweat and struggle while fixing it， she felt a wave of gratitude and appreciation. Awe is that feeling we get when something is so vast that it stops us in our tracks. Often，it challenges or expands our thinking. Research shows that awe experiences decrease stress and increase overall satisfaction. It can also help our relationships，making us feel more sympathetic and less greedy，more supported by others and more likely to help others. Most of us associate awe with something rare and beautiful：nature，music or a spiritual experience. But people can bring about awe，and not just public heroes can. Often，this interpersonal awe is a response to life's big，sweeping changes. We can be awed by our nearest and dearest—the people sitting next to us on the sofa，or chatting on the phone. But it happens in smaller moments，too. John Bargh，a psychologist，said he was truly awestruck by his then five­year­old daughter. When she heard another child crying， she grabbed her toy， walked over to the boy and handed it to him. Unfortunately，we can't make someone else behave in a way that's awesome. But we can prepare ourselves to notice it when they do—and take steps to boost the emotion's positive effects. 21．Why does the writer tell Beverly's story？ A．To show sympathy for her. B．To cite an example of awe. C．To express appreciation to her son. D．To start a debate about awe. 22．What is the benefit of awe？ A．It stops our anxiety. B．It simplifies our thinking. C．It satisfies regular needs. D．It promotes positive emotions. 23．In which situation can we feel awed between the nearest？ A．Admiring scenery in a national park. B．Enjoying classic music in a concert hall. C．Receiving a call from a long­lost friend. D．Getting the signature of a famous athlete. B [2024·沈阳市高三教学质量监测(三)]Many years ago，when I was in high school and working on weekends to pay for the extras—like a class trip that my family couldn't really afford，I lost my wallet. One day，while putting gas in my old car ， I paid and drove off，not realizing my wallet had slipped out of my pocket. I hadn't even noticed it was missing it when a man phoned and asked if I had lost my wallet. I checked it and to my horror，I had. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it and then told me where to pick up my wallet. As I pulled into his driveway，I noticed his wheelchair van and the ramp (坡道) leading up to the house. I was thinking that there was no way this could have man easily got my wallet. He had to pull over his van，get in his wheelchair，lower the lift，and then pick it up. I was just astonished. I knocked on the door and he let me in. I thanked him about 10 times. I was stuck，though. While I didn't want to insult (冒犯) him by offering money，I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness，and he said “Just pass my kindness on”．I said I would be certain to do that，as I was raised to be honest in any event. I wanted to repay his kindness，so I wholeheartedly promised. Well，one does not find many wallets and so it was about 10 years later that I found one. It took me several days to track down the man to whom the wallet belonged. He lived in another state. I hated going through his wallet，but I finally located him through a business card he had in it. He was actually surprised that his money was still in the wallet and he tried to hand me $20. I told him “Thanks，but just pass my kindness on”． 24．How did the finder make sure the wallet belonged to the author？ A．He phoned the gas station. B．He checked the amount of money. C．He went through the wallet. D．He asked where the wallet was lost. 25．How did the author feel when he realized the finder's being disabled？ A．Satisfied. B．Shocked. C．Delighted. D．Horrified. 26．What did the author do to thank the disabled man in Paragraph 4？ A．He accepted the man's proposal. B．He handed the man some money. C．He passed the man's kindness on. D．He put the money into an account. 27．What lesson can we learn from the text？ A．Kindness can be passed on. B．Finders keepers，losers weepers. C．Kindness lives in our heart. D．One good turn deserves another. C [2024·广东省部分名校高三联合质量检测]I've never had a great sense of direction， and I often wander into shops. Upon coming back out，I can't remember which way I've come from — left or right？Many people are like me，and why do some constantly have no idea where they are？ The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain associated with memory and involved in sense of direction. A nearby region has also been associated with sense of direction. There are four known types of navigation­related neurons (神经元)，found in these regions：place cells，grid cells， border cells and head direction cells. In short，you can think of place cells as an internal cognitive (认知的) map；they identify where you are. Grid cells are like a GPS system in our brain； they tell us about the relationship of this place to other places we've been to. Border cells respond to the presence of environmental boundaries at a specific direction and distance from us. Lastly，head direction cells are activated when our head faces a specific direction. These cells will fire electrical impulses when we enter familiar locations，with each group of cells relating to a specific place. Our reliance on GPS and smartphones may have decreased the ability to use our internal maps. Older adults who regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippocampus，compared with those who did not use GPS. They also performed slightly worse in a cognition test. In contrast，a study involving London taxi drivers found they have a significantly larger hippocampus than ordinary people. You can improve your way­finding ability specifically by practicing the skill，according to Aziz， PhD of neurology at Temple University School of Medicine. “The more you get out and go to places，the better，” he says. Physical exercise improves the blood flow to the brain，while mental exercise，such as doing puzzles or learning a new language，stimulates the development of new nerve cells and connections in your brain. 28．How does the author introduce the topic of the text？ A．By raising a question. B．By making a comparison. C．By stating personal opinions. D．By referring to scientific research. 29．What can we learn about the four types of navigation­related neurons？ A．They depend closely on each other. B．They are responsible for different jobs. C．They will decrease in numbers as one ages. D．They will fail to function in unfamiliar situations. 30．What will happen if we rely too much on GPS？ A．We will easily be misled. B．Our hippocampus will get enlarged. C．Our cognitive ability will be affected. D．We will have our hippocampus relaxed. 31．What are we advised to do according to the last paragraph？ A．Build up our body. B．Take training courses. C．Try different brain exercises. D．Get out to connect with people. [2024·安徽省部分地区高三联考]German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed concerns that growing Chinese competition is a threat to the local automotive industry，while welcoming Chinese carmakers to Europe's largest auto show，IAA Mobility 2023，in Munich. The six­day event officially opened on Tuesday. Scholz said increased competition from China was good for the German auto industry. “Fair competition stimulates business. It is in the interest of consumers，” he said，“as Chinese electric vehicle companies showcased several new fully electric models，which outshone some German automotive giants.” Competition should stimulate us ，not scare us. “The countries that have achieved great prosperity in the course of globalization，and the workers there，have no less right and no less claim to the opportunities of modernity than we do，” Scholz said of China. “In the 1980s， it was said that Japanese cars would overrun the market. Twenty years later， it was cars made in South Korea and now supposedly Chinese electric cars，” Scholz，who wore a black eye patch due to an injury from a jogging accident on Saturday，said. The German chancellor also expressed confidence in his country's strengths. “There is no question about the international competitiveness of Germany as a car country，” he said， adding that “Germany is still the linchpin of the auto industry and will remain so.” Jun Jin，an auto industry expert，said the international market provides great opportunities for Chinese EV (电动汽车) makers， given their strength in technology and costs. “But this does not simply mean repeating their success story in China；they need to succeed by adopting local practices，” Jun told China Daily. Chinese companies，he said，still count on exports and have a long way to go before manufacturing vehicles overseas， arranging global supply chains and improving services for local customers. 32．How did Scholz view increased competition from China in auto industry？ A．Scholz thought that Chinese competition is not a threat to the local auto industry. B．Scholz was not concerned about the competition from China in auto industry. C．Scholz thought increased competition was harmful to the German auto industry. D．Scholz thought that consumers of auto industry would be interested in the competition. 33．What can we infer from Scholz's words in the third paragraph？ A．Developing countries has no right to achieve modernity. B．China has the equal right and claim to seek modernity. C.The workers in German have more opportunities than others. D．The course of globalization will favor developed countries more． 34．What does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph mean？ A．Serious problem. B．Noticeable weakness. C．Angry consumer. D．Key role. 35．What can we conclude from Jun Jin's words？ A.Chinese EV makers have no advantage in technology in international market. B.Chinese EV makers should adopt local practices in international market. C．Chinese companies still have a long way to go in manufacturing vehicles. D.Chinese companies are good at arranging global supply chains and services. 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。 [2024·沈阳市高三教学质量监测(三)]Do you want to live a healthy lifestyle？ Practicing yoga is one of the best choices.

On the journey you won’t see any animals during the daytime because it’s too hot, but you should look out for beautiful desert plants right next to the track, although at this height there are no trees. At one point, we go over an old wooden bridge. People get worried because it’s noisy, but it’s quite safe. There’s no river under the bridge, but you can see some large colorful rocks — they’re fantastic. We don’t make any stops on the trip because all the stations were closed long ago. At the far end of our train there’s a small store selling souvenirs that you can’t buy anywhere else. The other things which we sell during your ride are drinks. Unfortunately, the machine selling these is broken, so once we’re underway I’ll be walking down the train with everything in a basket. So stop me if you want anything. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A [2024·福州市普通高中毕业班质量检测]During the summer of 2021，Beverly Wax had an experience that filled her with awe. It was the sight of her son，Justin，dragging a 36­kilogram portable air conditioner upstairs. Beverly's central air conditioning had stopped working in the middle of a 32 ℃ heatwave. She had mentioned it to her son and he'd shown up as a surprise. As she watched him sweat and struggle while fixing it， she felt a wave of gratitude and appreciation. Awe is that feeling we get when something is so vast that it stops us in our tracks. Often，it challenges or expands our thinking. Research shows that awe experiences decrease stress and increase overall satisfaction. It can also help our relationships，making us feel more sympathetic and less greedy，more supported by others and more likely to help others. Most of us associate awe with something rare and beautiful：nature，music or a spiritual experience. But people can bring about awe，and not just public heroes can. Often，this interpersonal awe is a response to life's big，sweeping changes. We can be awed by our nearest and dearest—the people sitting next to us on the sofa，or chatting on the phone. But it happens in smaller moments，too. John Bargh，a psychologist，said he was truly awestruck by his then five­year­old daughter. When she heard another child crying， she grabbed her toy， walked over to the boy and handed it to him. Unfortunately，we can't make someone else behave in a way that's awesome. But we can prepare ourselves to notice it when they do—and take steps to boost the emotion's positive effects. 21．Why does the writer tell Beverly's story？ A．To show sympathy for her. B．To cite an example of awe. C．To express appreciation to her son. D．To start a debate about awe. 22．What is the benefit of awe？ A．It stops our anxiety. B．It simplifies our thinking. C．It satisfies regular needs. D．It promotes positive emotions. 23．In which situation can we feel awed between the nearest？ A．Admiring scenery in a national park. B．Enjoying classic music in a concert hall. C．Receiving a call from a long­lost friend. D．Getting the signature of a famous athlete. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。本文通过讲述Beverly Wax的一段生活经历引出本文主题：敬畏会让我们感觉更好。本文重点介绍了敬畏感发生的条件及其积极作用。 21.答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据第一段内容尤其是第一句“During the summer of 2021，Beverly Wax had an experience that filled her with awe”可知，在2021年的夏天，Beverly Wax经历了一次让她充满敬畏的经历。据此可以判断，作者讲述Beverly Wax的故事是为了举一个敬畏的例子。 22.答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据第二段的“Research shows that awe experiences decrease stress ...more likely to help others”可知，研究表明，敬畏体验可以减轻压力，提高整体满意度；它还可以帮助我们的人际关系，使我们更有同情心，不那么贪婪，更有可能得到别人的支持且更可能帮助他人。根据第三段的“Most of us associate awe with something rare and beautiful： nature，music or a spiritual experience”可知，我们大多数人都将敬畏与稀有而美丽的事物联系在一起：自然、音乐或精神体验。据此可推断，敬畏的好处是可以促进积极情绪。故选D。 23.答案与解析：C　推理判断题。本题问“在下列哪种情况中我们可以感受到最亲近的人之间的敬畏？”。根据第三段的“We can be awed by our nearest and dearest ...chatting on the phone”可知，最亲近的人同样也会让我们感到敬畏，如在沙发上坐在我们身边的人或者打着电话的人。 B [2024·沈阳市高三教学质量监测(三)]Many years ago，when I was in high school and working on weekends to pay for the extras—like a class trip that my family couldn't really afford，I lost my wallet. One day，while putting gas in my old car ， I paid and drove off，not realizing my wallet had slipped out of my pocket. I hadn't even noticed it was missing it when a man phoned and asked if I had lost my wallet. I checked it and to my horror，I had. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it and then told me where to pick up my wallet. As I pulled into his driveway，I noticed his wheelchair van and the ramp (坡道) leading up to the house. I was thinking that there was no way this could have man easily got my wallet. He had to pull over his van，get in his wheelchair，lower the lift，and then pick it up. I was just astonished. I knocked on the door and he let me in. I thanked him about 10 times. I was stuck，though. While I didn't want to insult (冒犯) him by offering money，I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness，and he said “Just pass my kindness on”．I said I would be certain to do that，as I was raised to be honest in any event. I wanted to repay his kindness，so I wholeheartedly promised. Well，one does not find many wallets and so it was about 10 years later that I found one. It took me several days to track down the man to whom the wallet belonged. He lived in another state. I hated going through his wallet，but I finally located him through a business card he had in it. He was actually surprised that his money was still in the wallet and he tried to hand me $20. I told him “Thanks，but just pass my kindness on”． 24．How did the finder make sure the wallet belonged to the author？ A．He phoned the gas station. B．He checked the amount of money. C．He went through the wallet. D．He asked where the wallet was lost. 25．How did the author feel when he realized the finder's being disabled？ A．Satisfied. B．Shocked. C．Delighted.

D．He put the money into an account. 27．What lesson can we learn from the text？ A．Kindness can be passed on. B．Finders keepers，losers weepers. C．Kindness lives in our heart. D．One good turn deserves another. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者在多年前丢失了一个钱包，一名残疾人捡到并归还了钱包，作者想做些什么来报答他的善意，但这名残疾人仅仅让作者把这份善意传递下去。多年后，作者终于有了机会实现自己的诺言。 24.答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段的“He asked me to tell him how much money was in it and then told me where to pick up my wallet”可知，他让作者告诉他里面有多少钱，然后他就告诉作者去哪里取回钱包。 25.答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，作者认为他不可能轻易地捡起作者的钱包，他必须把车停到路边，坐上轮椅，然后降下升降板才能捡起钱包。作者对此感到非常吃惊，故选B。 26.答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第四段的“So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness ...I wanted to repay his kindness，so I wholeheartedly promised”可知，当作者问他自己能做些什么来回报他这份善意时，他说只需要把他的善意传递下去。作者说自己一定会那么做，因为作者从小就被教育无论如何都要诚实。作者想要回报这份善意，所以作者发自内心地承诺了他。故选A。 27.答案与解析：A　推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文中两次提到的“pass my kindness on”可知，本文主要讲述了多年前作者钱包丢失，好心人捡到并归还了钱包，作者答应将善意传递下去，约十年后作者捡到别人钱包，把善意传递下去的故事。故选A项“善意可以被传递下去”。 C [2024·广东省部分名校高三联合质量检测]I've never had a great sense of direction， and I often wander into shops. Upon coming back out，I can't remember which way I've come from — left or right？Many people are like me，and why do some constantly have no idea where they are？ The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain associated with memory and involved in sense of direction. A nearby region has also been associated with sense of direction. There are four known types of navigation­related neurons (神经元)，found in these regions：place cells，grid cells， border cells and head direction cells. In short，you can think of place cells as an internal cognitive (认知的) map；they identify where you are. Grid cells are like a GPS system in our brain； they tell us about the relationship of this place to other places we've been to. Border cells respond to the presence of environmental boundaries at a specific direction and distance from us. Lastly，head direction cells are activated when our head faces a specific direction. These cells will fire electrical impulses when we enter familiar locations，with each group of cells relating to a specific place. Our reliance on GPS and smartphones may have decreased the ability to use our internal maps. Older adults who regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippocampus，compared with those who did not use GPS. They also performed slightly worse in a cognition test. In contrast，a study involving London taxi drivers found they have a significantly larger hippocampus than ordinary people. You can improve your way­finding ability specifically by practicing the skill，according to Aziz， PhD of neurology at Temple University School of Medicine. “The more you get out and go to places，the better，” he says. Physical exercise improves the blood flow to the brain，while mental exercise，such as doing puzzles or learning a new language，stimulates the development of new nerve cells and connections in your brain. 28．How does the author introduce the topic of the text？ A．By raising a question. B．By making a comparison. C．By stating personal opinions. D．By referring to scientific research. 29．What can we learn about the four types of navigation­related neurons？ A．They depend closely on each other. B．They are responsible for different jobs. C．They will decrease in numbers as one ages. D．They will fail to function in unfamiliar situations. 30．What will happen if we rely too much on GPS？ A．We will easily be misled. B．Our hippocampus will get enlarged. C．Our cognitive ability will be affected. D．We will have our hippocampus relaxed. 31．What are we advised to do according to the last paragraph？ A．Build up our body. B．Take training courses. C．Try different brain exercises. D．Get out to connect with people. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章阐释了有些人是“路痴”的原因，以及如何获得方向感。 28.答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据第一段中“Many people are like me， and why do some constantly have no idea where they are？”并结合下文介绍人们是怎样认路，以及为什么有人是路痴可知，作者是通过提出问题的方式来引出本文主题的。 29.答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据第三段可知，这四种细胞各司其职，在帮助我们辨别方向和位置时起着不同的作用，故选B。 30.答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据第四段中“Older adults who regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippocampus， compared with those who did not use GPS. They also performed slightly worse in a cognition test.”可知，过度依赖GPS导航会影响我们的认知能力，故选C。 31.答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Physical exercise improves the blood flow to the brain， while mental exercise， such as doing puzzles or learning a new language， stimulates the development of new nerve cells and connections in your brain ”可知，作者建议我们尝试不同的脑力训练活动，故选C。 [2024·安徽省部分地区高三联考]German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed concerns that growing Chinese competition is a threat to the local automotive industry，while welcoming Chinese carmakers to Europe's largest auto show，IAA Mobility 2023，in Munich. The six­day event officially opened on Tuesday. Scholz said increased competition from China was good for the German auto industry. “Fair competition stimulates business. It is in the interest of consumers，” he said，“as Chinese electric vehicle companies showcased several new fully electric models，which outshone some German automotive giants.” Competition should stimulate us ，not scare us. “The countries that have achieved great prosperity in the course of globalization，and the workers there，have no less right and no less claim to the opportunities of modernity than we do，” Scholz said of China. “In the 1980s， it was said that Japanese cars would overrun the market. Twenty years later， it was cars made in South Korea and now supposedly Chinese electric cars，” Scholz，who wore a black eye patch due to an injury from a jogging accident on Saturday，said. The German chancellor also expressed confidence in his country's strengths. “There is no question about the international competitiveness of Germany as a car country，” he said， adding that “Germany is still the linchpin of the auto industry and will remain so.” Jun Jin，an auto industry expert，said the international market provides great opportunities for Chinese EV (电动汽车) makers， given their strength in technology and costs. “But this does not simply mean repeating their success story in China；they need to succeed by adopting local practices，” Jun told China Daily. Chinese companies，he said，still count on exports and have a long way to go before manufacturing vehicles overseas， arranging global supply chains and improving services for local customers. 32．How did Scholz view increased competition from China in auto industry？ A．Scholz thought that Chinese competition is not a threat to the local auto industry. B．Scholz was not concerned about the competition from China in auto industry. C．Scholz thought increased competition was harmful to the German auto industry. D．Scholz thought that consumers of auto industry would be interested in the competition. 33．What can we infer from Scholz's words in the third paragraph？ A．Developing countries has no right to achieve modernity. B．China has the equal right and claim to seek modernity. C.The workers in German have more opportunities than others. D．The course of globalization will favor developed countries more． 34．What does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph mean？ A．Serious problem. B．Noticeable weakness. C．Angry consumer. D．Key role. 35．What can we conclude from Jun Jin's words？ A.Chinese EV makers have no advantage in technology in international market. B.Chinese EV makers should adopt local practices in international market. C．Chinese companies still have a long way to go in manufacturing vehicles. D.Chinese companies are good at arranging global supply chains and services. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了德国总理朔尔茨欢迎中国汽车参加IAA Mobility 2023展览会，表示对中国竞争不担心，并强调德国仍是汽车行业的中流砥柱。 32.答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据第一段“German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed concerns that growing Chinese competition is a threat to the local automotive industry， while welcoming Chinese carmakers to Europe's largest auto show， IAA Mobility 2023， in Munich.”可推知，朔尔茨认为，来自中国的竞争不会对当地汽车行业构成威胁。 33.答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据第三段“‘The countries that have achieved great prosperity in the course of globalization， the workers there， have no less right and no less claim to the opportunities of modernity than we do，’ Scholz said of China.”可知，朔尔茨认为中国人民和欧洲人民享有不少于欧洲的现代化的权利，推知朔尔茨认为中国有追求现代化的平等权利和要求。 34.答案与解析：D　词句猜测题。根据前文“There is no question about the international competitiveness of Germany as a car country ”可知，朔尔茨对德国汽车业的竞争力有信心，推知下文的linchpin是“关键”之意和D项意思相近。 35.答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，从Jun Jin的话中我们可以得出中国电动汽车制造商应该在国际市场上采取本土化做法。 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。 [2024·沈阳市高三教学质量监测(三)]Do you want to live a healthy lifestyle？ Practicing yoga is one of the best choices.

International Exchange Center 第二节 （满分25分） 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。 When Eliana Martin realised she didn’t have her purse with her after a trip to a Ralphs store，she scrambled to cancel her credit cards.Martin forgot the bag in a shopping cart once she arrived home.Chances were high she’d never see her stuff again.After all，how many people would track down the owner and return the bag without lifting a cent？ At least one，and Adrian Rodriguez is just the guy. When Adrian Rodriguez，17，found the purse with cash and credit cards in a shopping cart on Friday，he knew what to do next. The teenager didn’t drop it off at the Chula Vista grocery store in hopes the owner would return.Instead，he searched for a home address on the driver’s license that was inside the bag and drove to the front door. The address led to Chula Vista resident Melina Marquez’s home but the purse belonged to her former roommate， Eliana Martin， who hadn’t updated her address since relocating.Neither were at the property，but a relative of Marquez’s received the bag after Rodriguez buzzed the Ring camera. “He had more than one option.He could have just kept it.He could have turned it into Ralphs store because it was a Ralphs store shopping cart，and with gas being so expensive，he still brought it over here，” said Marquez.“We wanted to find him so we could give him some money.” With video of the teenager delivering the purse，Marquez and Martin took to social media asking people to help them identify him.Eventually，a friend of Rodriguez saw the recording and connected them. “To their surprise，however，so many people started telling me，‘When you find him， you need to give him some money to thank him，’” said Martin. Martin’s friend， Melina Marquez， said，“We should find him， so we can give him a little gratitude.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 On Monday，Martin and Marquez were able to meet Adrian and thank him in person.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 　　The money was a shock to Adrian，who wasn’t expecting a reward.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考范文： On Monday，Martin and Marquez were able to meet Adrian and thank him in person.Martin said she didn’t think she would recover her purse.“This is really a miracle.Thanks a million！” she said gratefully.With a shy smile， Adrian replied，“It’s nothing.If someone found my stuff， I know I’d want them to bring it back to me.” Taking out a 100-dollar bill from her purse， Martin offered to express her thanks.“This is a small token of my gratitude，” said Martin. The money was a shock to Adrian，who wasn’t expecting a reward.“To me， I was just doing what my mom always told me when I was little： to do the right thing when nobody’s watching.It was just the right thing to do.I didn’t expect nothing back， honestly，” he told Martin.In the end， Adrian suggested donating the money to a local charity， which both Martin and Marquez thought was a good idea.Needless to say， our society needs numerous people like Adrian.It is their selflessness and generosity that make our world a better place to live in. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
