B The last time I happened to find myself in Los Angeles, I did what every first-time visitor must do: I went to the world’s most fashionable grocery store only to stare at it in wonder. Those of you familiar with Erewhon will already know exactly what I’m talking about. For those who don’t: Erewhon is a high-end celebrity-beloved supermarket that sells such things as $19 smoothies (奶昔). Tik Tokers routinely flood into the store to spend small fortunes on fancy snacks and film themselves unpacking their “hauls (战利品)”. Erewhon is also, you might have noticed, a literary reference. The brand is named after a 19th-century satirical (讽刺的) ) novel by Samuel Butler about a society full of beautiful people, where crime is treated tolerantly and considered a “sickness”, but poverty and illness are criminalised. In Erewhon, people go to great lengths to appear healthy. What would Butler have made of an over-fancy supermarket, filled with influencers desperate to see and be seen, being named after his book? I couldn’t tell you: I wandered the corridors of Erewhon looking for something fascinating but only came out with a small piece of bread. I can tell you this, though: Americans, particularly Gen Z, seem to have an unfillable appetite for treating themselves to upmarket snacks. “TikTok creators have brought Little Treat Culture into fashion, and we’re on board,” Whole Foods writes in its roundup of 2024 food trends. Little Treat Culture is exactly what it sounds like: rewarding yourself with lovely little things, such as an extremely Instagrammable $19 smoothie, just for existing in these difficult times. While these little luxuries aren’t always food-related, groceries have a common category for a relatively affordable luxury. And not just in the US: recent research shows that consumers are a lot more likely to say their “recent splurge (挥霍) purchase” was food or drink rather than personal care. A survey similarly found groceries to be the “new biggest splurge category”. Snack-makers are paying close attention and cashing in by designing more upmarket, individually packaged luxuries. 4. What do we know about Erewhon? A. Its main consumers are newcomers. B. It gives special rights to Tik Tokers. C. Its pricing for goods is relatively high. D. It secures promotions from celebrities. 5 How did the author feel after shopping in Erewhon? A. He was quite confused. B. He was somewhat shocked. C. He was a bit disappointed. D. He was extremely worn out. 6. What trend does Little Treat Culture represent? A. A sign of TikTok boom. B. A focus on healthy food. C. A desire for expensive meals. D. A method of rewarding oneself. 7. What does the last paragraph suggest? A. People are spending less on affordable luxury goods. B. Consumers prefer personal care items to food in life. C. Luxury brands are planning to conduct a similar survey. D. More well-packaged luxurious snacks will enter the market. C Hearing live music may be more stirring than listening to a recording of the same tune because it causes greater activity in the part of the brain linked to processing emotions Sascha Fruhholz at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues composed 12 pieces of music, each lasting 30 seconds. Half were written with the aim of conveying negative emotions, such sadness and anger. These were slower and less harmonious than the remaining songs, written to express positive emotions. They then recruited (招募) 27 people, who weren’t musically trained, to listen to these 12 pieces twice — once performed by a live pianist, which the participants heard through a speaker, and once as a recording. The order they heard them was randomly assigned, with 30 seconds of silence in between. The participants had little idea when they were hearing a recording or live music. While listening to the music, they lay in an MRI (核磁共振成像) scanner so the team could monitor their brain activity. The pianist adapted the volume and speed of the live piece according to their activity. But the recorded music was not adjusted. The researchers found that live performances of both the negative and positive pieces consistently led to increased brain activity in the left amygdala (杏仁体) — the region of the brain that is strongly linked to assigning sensory stimuli, such as sounds, to certain emotions. Meanwhile, the recorded tunes sparked much less activity in the left amygdala. This matched up with how emotive the participants rated each piece of music after the experiment. The findings show that live music intensifies our emotional response, probably due to its free-flowing, dynamic nature, says Fruhholz. The researchers hope to repeat the experiment with a larger audience in a concert setting. “If you go to a live concert, you’re not alone,” says Fruhholz. “This intensified emotional experience is also a social experience.” 8. What does the underlined word “stirring” mean in paragraph 1? A. Proper. B. Special. C. Calm. D. Exciting. 9. What do we know about 12 pieces of music? A. They lasted half a minute in total. B. Fruhholz recorded them in his own right. C. Not all of them conveyed positive emotions. D. Those conveying sad emotions were faster. 10. What can be inferred from the experiment? A. The participants heard the 12 pieces non-stop. B. The recruited people were divided into 2 groups. C. The team accordingly adjusted the music pieces. D. The subjects’ brain activities in it were observed. 11. What is the main idea of the last but one paragraph? A. The importance of the left amygdala. B. The final findings of the research. C. The following research directions. D. The underlying logic of the brain D China says its maglev hyperloop train (磁悬浮超级高铁列车) has broken the world speed record in a test run, reaching a surprising 623 km/h. Eventually, its makers want to build a train more than three times as fast as one that will break the sound barrier and run faster than airplanes. The maglev train, named the T-Flight, was built by the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), New Atlas reported. Hyperloop trains work by pushing MLP (磁悬浮吊舱) through tunnels with very little air resistance. The previous record holder for the fastest maglev train is the L0 Series SCMaglev in Japan, according to JRPass, which can hit a top speed of 603 km/h. To test the new train, CASIC built a track roughly 2 kilometers long in a low-pressure vacuum (真空) tube. To reach such high speeds, the trains must encounter almost no friction (摩擦). So CASIC smoothed the test track to a flatness with a 0.3 millimeters tolerance, meaning there is a 0.01-inch difference between the lowest and highest point of the flat surface. The 20-foot-wide tunnel also has geometric size error of less than 2 mm, meaning the margin of error (误差幅度) against a perfect shape. The entire pipeline can return to normal pressure in five minutes, which shows its surprisingly-restored ability. In the T-Flight’s second phase of testing, CASIC aims to extend the track to 60 km and allow the train to reach 1,000 km/h. At this theoretical top speed, the maglev train would be even faster than a passenger jet, which travels at an average range between 925 km/h and 966 km/h, according to Simple Flying. The company’s ambitions don’t stop there, however, with plans for a connection between Wuhan and Beijing that can reach up to 2,000 km/h, according to a video from 2018. Hyperloop systems can move vehicles at speeds much faster than conventional trains — most of which are restricted to 95 km/h in the U. S. Elon Musk first proposed a hyperloop system for the U. S. in 2013, but more than a decade later, Musk’s vision has yet to see the light of day. As one of the biggest companies in the industry, Virgin shut down its own hyperloop company, which most recently went by the name Virgin Hyperloop in 2023. 12. What do we know about hyperloop trains from the first two paragraphs? A. China’s T-Flight outpaces airplanes. B. T-Flight outspeeds SCMaglev by 20 km/h. C. The first hyperloop train is made in Japan. D. They can merely travel without air friction. 13. What is prepared for testing the T-Flight? A. A free-pressure tube. B. An absolute flat track. C. A perfectly-shaped tunnel. D. A quickly-recovered pipeline. 14. Which can be used to describe China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation? A. Ambitious and reliable. B. Conventional and practical. C. State-owned and conservative. D. Advanced and international. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. CASIC: A Promising Company B. China: A Country Leading the Trend C. T-Flight: A Potential Record-Breaker D. Hyperloop: A Globally Common Topic 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever felt like you’re never happy with what you have? Do you think things could be better somewhere else even if they are good enough? This is what is called Grass Is Greener Syndrome (综合征). It is a syndrome where one always thinks the grass is greener on the other side. It can keep you from being glad for what is in your life now. ___16___ Here are some tips to overcome Grass Is Greener Syndrome. Practice gratitude and appreciation. By focusing on what we already have and being thankful for it, we can find happiness in our current situation. This helps prevent feelings of regret and dissatisfaction that often come with constantly comparing ourselves to others or daydreaming about a different life. ___17___ It also makes us recognize the value of our lives and relationships. Avoid comparisons. Comparisons can be a trap when it comes to dealing with Grass Is Greener Syndrome. Constantly comparing yourself or your situation to others is a feature of this syndrome. It’s easy to think that the grass is always greener on the other side. ___18___ Embrace imperfections. Embracing imperfections is a crucial step in overcoming Grass Is Greener Syndrome. ___19___ They include the faults both within ourselves and in our surroundings. By learning to accept that imperfections are a normal part of life, we can break free from the constant longing for something better. Embracing imperfections means acknowledging that no one and nothing is perfect, including ourselves. ___20___ Many people who experience this syndrome struggle with low self-esteem and feelings of unsafety.

Addressing these problems involves challenging negative beliefs, seeking therapy or counseling (咨询), and practicing self-acceptance and personal growth. A. Deal with insecurities and self-doubt. B. Address problems of over-confidence. C. When it hits hard, this syndrome can cause many problems. D. Uncertainty and curiosity play a big part in creating the syndrome. E.

Bilal, a teenager, was excited to finally have the free time to play video games on his PlayStation and endlessly surf the internet on his phone. The digital world was his playground, a place where he could escape into adventures and challenges that kept him entertained for hours on end. His parents were tired of always trying to stop him, constantly telling him that spending so much time online and on social media wasn’t good for his physical health. They worried about his eyesight and the lack of physical activity. But Bilal never listened. He was very addicted to the e-world. The appeal of virtual achievements and social interactions was too strong for him to resist. One day, after getting fed up, his mother discussed Bilal with his grandparents. “Is there any way we can get him away from this internet world?” she asked, her voice filled with desperation. His grandfather replied, “Yes, there is a way. I am planning to visit our village for a week. I am thinking of taking Bilal along. It will be a new experience for him to see a simple lifestyle. Besides, the internet signals are very bad there, so he won’t be able to stay online very often.” His mother was happy to hear this. “That’s a very good idea,” she replied, hopeful that this could be the turning point for Bilal. She excitedly went and shared it with Bilal, hoping he would be happy about going with his grandparents, but he refused, saying the trip would be boring without the internet. “How would I spend my days?” he complained. Just then his grandmother entered the room and explained calmly to him that it would be an exciting trip. She spoke of the beauty of nature, the joy of community, and the simple pleasures of life away from screens. She told him stories of the village, of the stars at night and the fresh air that filled the lungs with life. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右;2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Two days later, Bilal’s grandparents started their journey. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week passed quickly and it was time for Bilal to return ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 马鞍山市第二中学2023级高二年级3月月考 英语试题 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题。从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What does the woman think of taking the cable car?

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了由 ACF 主办的未来影响挑战（FIC），含各轮要求、奖项、参赛资格，鼓励青少年用计算技术促进可持续发展。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Round 3部分“Requirements (要求)”以及“Presentation  ·Live Q & A *Only Finalists can participate in this Round.(演示·现场问答 *只有决赛选手才能参加这一轮)”可知，第三轮要求做展示和进行现场问答，所以对于第三轮的参与者来说，进行现场问答是一个要求。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Semi-Finalists部分“All teams that quality for Round 2 (Semi-finalists) will receive certificates of appreciation.(所有晋级第二轮（半决赛）的球队都将获得感谢证书)”可知，所有进入第二轮（半决赛）的队伍，即所有半决赛选手（Semi-finalists）都会收到感谢证书。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Eligibility部分“Each team must have additional (1～2) coaches during the challenge.(每支队伍在挑战赛中必须有额外的（1～2）名教练)”可知，每个团队在比赛期间必须有额外的（1 到 2 名）教练，所以如果一个团队没有额外的教练，可能会导致该团队被取消比赛资格。故选C。 B The last time I happened to find myself in Los Angeles, I did what every first-time visitor must do: I went to the world’s most fashionable grocery store only to stare at it in wonder. Those of you familiar with Erewhon will already know exactly what I’m talking about. For those who don’t: Erewhon is a high-end celebrity-beloved supermarket that sells such things as $19 smoothies (奶昔). Tik Tokers routinely flood into the store to spend small fortunes on fancy snacks and film themselves unpacking their “hauls (战利品)”. Erewhon is also, you might have noticed, a literary reference. The brand is named after a 19th-century satirical (讽刺的) ) novel by Samuel Butler about a society full of beautiful people, where crime is treated tolerantly and considered a “sickness”, but poverty and illness are criminalised. In Erewhon, people go to great lengths to appear healthy. What would Butler have made of an over-fancy supermarket, filled with influencers desperate to see and be seen, being named after his book? I couldn’t tell you: I wandered the corridors of Erewhon looking for something fascinating but only came out with a small piece of bread. I can tell you this, though: Americans, particularly Gen Z, seem to have an unfillable appetite for treating themselves to upmarket snacks. “TikTok creators have brought Little Treat Culture into fashion, and we’re on board,” Whole Foods writes in its roundup of 2024 food trends. Little Treat Culture is exactly what it sounds like: rewarding yourself with lovely little things, such as an extremely Instagrammable $19 smoothie, just for existing in these difficult times. While these little luxuries aren’t always food-related, groceries have a common category for a relatively affordable luxury. And not just in the US: recent research shows that consumers are a lot more likely to say their “recent splurge (挥霍) purchase” was food or drink rather than personal care. A survey similarly found groceries to be the “new biggest splurge category”. Snack-makers are paying close attention and cashing in by designing more upmarket, individually packaged luxuries. 4. What do we know about Erewhon? A. Its main consumers are newcomers. B. It gives special rights to Tik Tokers. C. Its pricing for goods is relatively high. D. It secures promotions from celebrities. 5. How did the author feel after shopping in Erewhon? A. He was quite confused. B. He was somewhat shocked. C. He was a bit disappointed. D. He was extremely worn out. 6. What trend does Little Treat Culture represent? A. A sign of TikTok boom. B. A focus on healthy food. C. A desire for expensive meals. D. A method of rewarding oneself. 7 What does the last paragraph suggest? A. People are spending less on affordable luxury goods. B. Consumers prefer personal care items to food in life. C. Luxury brands are planning to conduct a similar survey. D. More well-packaged luxurious snacks will enter the market. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了洛杉矶高端超市Erewhon的命名来源并分析了当代美国年轻人热衷于“小奢侈文化”的现象。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Erewhon is a high-end celebrity-beloved supermarket that sells such things as $19 smoothies (奶昔).(Erewhon是一家高端超市，深受名人喜爱，出售19美元的奶昔等商品)”可知，Erewhon是一家高端超市，并提到该超市售卖的19美元的奶昔，所以这里商品的价格相对较高，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I wandered the corridors of Erewhon looking for something fascinating but only came out with a small piece of bread.(我在Erewhon走廊里徘徊，想找一些有趣的东西，但只找到了一小块面包)”可知，作者逛遍Erewhon寻找有趣的东西，最后却只找到了一小块面包，推知作者购物完应是有失望之情，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Little Treat Culture is exactly what it sounds like: rewarding yourself with lovely little things, such as an extremely Instagrammable $19 smoothie, just for existing in these difficult times.( Little Treat Culture顾名思义就是：用可爱的小东西奖励自己，比如一杯19美元的奶昔，非常适合在instagram上发布，只是为了在这些困难时期生存)”可知，Little Treat Culture就是奖励自己一些可爱的小东西，故代表的是一个自我奖励的方法，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And not just in the US: recent research shows that consumers are a lot more likely to say their ‘recent splurge (挥霍) purchase’ was food or drink rather than personal care. A survey similarly found groceries to be the ‘new biggest splurge category’. Snack-makers are paying close attention and cashing in by designing more upmarket, individually packaged luxuries.(而且不仅仅是在美国：最近的研究表明，消费者更有可能说他们‘最近大手笔购买’的是食品或饮料，而不是个人护理。一项类似的调查发现，食品杂货是‘新的最大挥霍类别’。零食制造商正密切关注这一问题，并通过设计更高档、独立包装的奢侈品大赚一笔)”可知，消费者更倾向于在食品上挥霍，且零食制造商正设计“更高端、独立包装的奢侈品”，暗示更多此类商品将进入市场，故选D。 C Hearing live music may be more stirring than listening to a recording of the same tune because it causes greater activity in the part of the brain linked to processing emotions. Sascha Fruhholz at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues composed 12 pieces of music, each lasting 30 seconds. Half were written with the aim of conveying negative emotions, such sadness and anger. These were slower and less harmonious than the remaining songs, written to express positive emotions. They then recruited (招募) 27 people, who weren’t musically trained, to listen to these 12 pieces twice — once performed by a live pianist, which the participants heard through a speaker, and once as a recording. The order they heard them was randomly assigned, with 30 seconds of silence in between. The participants had little idea when they were hearing a recording or live music. While listening to the music, they lay in an MRI (核磁共振成像) scanner so the team could monitor their brain activity. The pianist adapted the volume and speed of the live piece according to their activity. But the recorded music was not adjusted. The researchers found that live performances of both the negative and positive pieces consistently led to increased brain activity in the left amygdala (杏仁体) — the region of the brain that is strongly linked to assigning sensory stimuli, such as sounds, to certain emotions. Meanwhile, the recorded tunes sparked much less activity in the left amygdala. This matched up with how emotive the participants rated each piece of music after the experiment. The findings show that live music intensifies our emotional response, probably due to its free-flowing, dynamic nature, says Fruhholz. The researchers hope to repeat the experiment with a larger audience in a concert setting. “If you go to a live concert, you’re not alone,” says Fruhholz. “This intensified emotional experience is also a social experience.” 8. What does the underlined word “stirring” mean in paragraph 1? A. Proper. B. Special. C. Calm. D. Exciting. 9. What do we know about 12 pieces of music? A. They lasted half a minute in total. B. Fruhholz recorded them in his own right. C. Not all of them conveyed positive emotions. D. Those conveying sad emotions were faster. 10. What can be inferred from the experiment? A. The participants heard the 12 pieces non-stop. B. The recruited people were divided into 2 groups. C. The team accordingly adjusted the music pieces. D. The subjects’ brain activities in it were observed. 11. What is the main idea of the last but one paragraph? A. The importance of the left amygdala. B. The final findings of the research. C. The following research directions. D. The underlying logic of the brain 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，研究表明，听现场音乐可能比听同一曲调的录音更激动人心。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后“because it causes greater activity in the part of the brain linked to processing emotions.(因为它会使大脑中与情绪处理有关的部分更活跃)”可知，现场音乐会使大脑中与情绪处理有关的部分更活跃，故听现场音乐可能比听同一曲调的录音更激动人心，stirring意为“令人激动的”，故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sascha Fruhholz at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues composed 12 pieces of music, each lasting 30 seconds. Half were written with the aim of conveying negative emotions, such sadness and anger. These were slower and less harmonious than the remaining songs, written to express positive emotions.(瑞士苏黎世大学的Sascha Fruhholz和他的同事们创作了12首乐曲，每首乐曲持续30秒。其中一半是为了表达消极情绪而写的，比如悲伤和愤怒。这些歌曲比其余的歌曲更慢，更不和谐，这些歌曲是为了表达积极的情绪而写的)”可知，这12首乐曲一半是表达消极情绪，其余的是表达积极情绪，并非所有的都表达积极的情绪。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中国“While listening to the music, they lay in an MRI (核磁共振成像) scanner so the team could monitor their brain activity. The pianist adapted the volume and speed of the live piece according to their activity.(在听音乐的同时，他们躺在核磁共振扫描仪中，这样研究小组就可以监测他们的大脑活动。钢琴家根据他们的活动调整了现场演奏曲目的音量和速度)”可知，研究小组监测实验对象的大脑活动，钢琴家根据他们的活动调整了现场演奏曲目的音量和速度，由此推知在实验中实验对象的大脑活动被观察，故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段内容，尤其是首句中“The researchers found that…(研究人员发现……)”和末句“The findings show that live music intensifies our emotional response, probably due to its free-flowing, dynamic nature, says Fruhholz.(研究结果表明，现场音乐会增强我们的情绪反应，这可能是由于其自由流动、动态的性质，Fruhholz说)”可知，本段主要讲研究结果，故选B。 D China says its maglev hyperloop train (磁悬浮超级高铁列车) has broken the world speed record in a test run, reaching a surprising 623 km/h. Eventually, its makers want to build a train more than three times as fast as one that will break the sound barrier and run faster than airplanes. The maglev train, named the T-Flight, was built by the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), New Atlas reported. Hyperloop trains work by pushing MLP (磁悬浮吊舱) through tunnels with very little air resistance. The previous record holder for the fastest maglev train is the L0 Series SCMaglev in Japan, according to JRPass, which can hit a top speed of 603 km/h. To test the new train, CASIC built a track roughly 2 kilometers long in a low-pressure vacuum (真空) tube. To reach such high speeds, the trains must encounter almost no friction (摩擦). So CASIC smoothed the test track to a flatness with a 0.3 millimeters tolerance, meaning there is a 0.01-inch difference between the lowest and highest point of the flat surface. The 20-foot-wide tunnel also has geometric size error of less than 2 mm, meaning the margin of error (误差幅度) against a perfect shape. The entire pipeline can return to normal pressure in five minutes, which shows its surprisingly-restored ability. In the T-Flight’s second phase of testing, CASIC aims to extend the track to 60 km and allow the train to reach 1,000 km/h. At this theoretical top speed, the maglev train would be even faster than a passenger jet, which travels at an average range between 925 km/h and 966 km/h, according to Simple Flying. The company’s ambitions don’t stop there, however, with plans for a connection between Wuhan and Beijing that can reach up to 2,000 km/h, according to a video from 2018. Hyperloop systems can move vehicles at speeds much faster than conventional trains — most of which are restricted to 95 km/h in the U. S. Elon Musk first proposed a hyperloop system for the U. S. in 2013, but more than a decade later, Musk’s vision has yet to see the light of day. As one of the biggest companies in the industry, Virgin shut down its own hyperloop company, which most recently went by the name Virgin Hyperloop in 2023. 12. What do we know about hyperloop trains from the first two paragraphs? A. China’s T-Flight outpaces airplanes. B. T-Flight outspeeds SCMaglev by 20 km/h. C. The first hyperloop train is made in Japan. D. They can merely travel without air friction. 13. What is prepared for testing the T-Flight? A. A free-pressure tube. B. An absolute flat track. C. A perfectly-shaped tunnel. D. A quickly-recovered pipeline. 14. Which can be used to describe China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation? A. Ambitious and reliable. B. Conventional and practical. C. State-owned and conservative. D. Advanced and international. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. CASIC: A Promising Company B. China: A Country Leading the Trend C. T-Flight: A Potential Record-Breaker D. Hyperloop: A Globally Common Topic 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15.

The digital world was his playground, a place where he could escape into adventures and challenges that kept him entertained for hours on end. His parents were tired of always trying to stop him, constantly telling him that spending so much time online and on social media wasn’t good for his physical health. They worried about his eyesight and the lack of physical activity. But Bilal never listened. He was very addicted to the e-world. The appeal of virtual achievements and social interactions was too strong for him to resist. One day, after getting fed up, his mother discussed Bilal with his grandparents. “Is there any way we can get him away from this internet world?” she asked, her voice filled with desperation. His grandfather replied, “Yes, there is a way. I am planning to visit our village for a week. I am thinking of taking Bilal along. It will be a new experience for him to see a simple lifestyle. Besides, the internet signals are very bad there, so he won’t be able to stay online very often.” His mother was happy to hear this. “That’s a very good idea,” she replied, hopeful that this could be the turning point for Bilal. She excitedly went and shared it with Bilal, hoping he would be happy about going with his grandparents, but he refused, saying the trip would be boring without the internet. “How would I spend my days?” he complained. Just then his grandmother entered the room and explained calmly to him that it would be an exciting trip.
