I've only started this channel this week, so i'm sort of nervous in front of the camera. Anyway, I want to share with you everything I know about health today. I want to talk to you about how to feel Younger. hi. I'm in my mid forties, yet I feel as energetic as I did when I was eighteen. So what is my secret? It's not really a secret. It's a combination of exercise, healthy eating and rest. Sleep is the most important aspect of all of this. I imagine many of you get around six hours of sleep at night. You might stay up late watching T, V, playing video games or just browsing your phone. What i'd suggest is setting an alarm an hour before you go to bed. That alarm is to remind you to stop looking at electronic screens. They produce blue light, which can prevent you from going to sleep. I would also suggest not eating or drinking anything two hours before bedtime. If you are restless, a glass of milk can help to settle you, but no tea or coffee as they will keep you awake. Lastly, start your day on a positive note. With half an hour of exercise, IT may not seem like a lot, but over time, IT will dramatically improve your health. Now, if you have any questions, just type them on the screen. Hello, everyone, welcome. I've only started this channel this week, so i'm sure of nervous in front of the camera.

Last year, my husband and I decided to make our 12-storey building more of a community. We live in a small rented apartment in Park Merced, a large housing development. I would call us lower-middle-class. A lot of nurses, bus drivers, and tradesmen live here, many of them 1st or 2nd generation immigrants (移民).
We’re all renters. Renters come and go and tend not to see the buildings they live in as their home. But it can be done. We started with a monthly two-hour social in the building lobby (前厅) on the second Fridays of each month. Some people came, between 15-30 each time. The events lasted two hours, but there wasn’t much to do besides talking, eating snacks and drinking juice. The socials were nice, but most residents gave them a miss.
Then one day I was on the nearby campus of San Francisco State University. A young man from a social club for students had a big sign about “Building Community”. I asked him, “How do you do that?” He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person. That made a lot of sense to me.
I bought a large world map. At the social, I taped it on the lobby walls with signs that said “Where We’re From. Put a green sticker where you were born and yellow stickers where your grandparents were born.” People put up their stickers and looked where other people came from. We left the map up overnight, and the next day, Saturday, more people played. I planned to leave the map and stickers up for a month or more. They certainly made the lobby more interesting than the housing project look it usually has.
I see that there will be challenges, but I also know that a strong community will help us live good lives. I have the time and energy to do this work.
24. What trouble did the author have building a community?
A. The community was poor. B. She lacked enough money.
C. Renters had no sense of belonging. D. Her neighbors were all immigrants.
25. How did the author find her earlier events?
A. Fruitful. B. Ordinary. C. Inspiring. D. Messy.
26. What did the author do in order to change the socials?
A. Adopt a sharing game. B. Add foods and drinks.
C. Admit experienced locals. D. Ask some students for support.
27. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Responsible and strict. B. Demanding and ambitious.
C. Knowledgeable and modest. D. Insightful and determined.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者为改善楼内租客们之间的关系,让租客们找到归属感,她与丈夫决心创建社区的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Renters come and go and tend not to see the buildings they live in as their home. (租房者来来去去,往往不会将他们居住的建筑物视为自己的家。)”可知,租客们对居住地没有归属感是作者面对的困难。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The events lasted two hours, but there wasn’t much to do besides talking, eating snacks and drinking juice. The socials were nice, but most residents gave them a miss. (活动持续了两个小时,但除了聊天、吃零食和喝果汁外,没有什么可做的。社交活动很好,但大多数居民都错过了他们。)”可知,前几次把租客组织到一起的努力没有实质性效果,没有吸引广大居民的参加,故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person. That made a lot of sense to me. (他说,他们试图让人们与至少另一个人分享一些关于他们自己的事情。这对我来说很有意义。)”及第四段“I bought a large world map. At the social, I taped it on the lobby walls with signs that said “Where We’re From. Put a green sticker where you were born and yellow stickers where your grandparents were born.” People put up their stickers and looked where other people came from. We left the map up overnight, and the next day, Saturday, more people played. I planned to leave the map and stickers up for a month or more. They certainly made the lobby more interesting than the housing project look it usually has. (我买了一张很大的世界地图。在社交活动中,我把它用胶带贴在大厅的墙上,并贴上写有“我们来自哪里。在你出生的地方贴上绿色贴纸,在你祖父母出生的地方贴上黄色贴纸”的标志。人们贴上贴纸,看看其他人来自哪里。我们把地图贴了一整晚,第二天,也就是星期六,更多的人参与了进来。我计划把地图和贴纸贴一个月或更长时间。它们确实让大厅比通常的住房项目外观更有趣。)”可知,作者设计了一项分享游戏活动,故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Renters come and go and tend not to see the buildings they live in as their home.

For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
28. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues?
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apples new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
30. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____.
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion

We all know cacti (仙人掌) store water — but to survive, they also adjust their flower positions to gain more sunlight or shade, and so much more. Scientists have been copying the resilient plants’ methods to help engineer our future.
One of the most exciting advancements involves Copiapoa, a genus of cacti with at least 32 species found in the coastal Atacama Desert, the driest nonpolar desert on Earth. These cacti, typically five to six inches wide, can form gray-green bushes that spread out over an area otherwise empty of vegetation.
Documented by many scientists, Copiapoas probably survive by “drinking” the salty fog that sweeps in from the sea every morning, as well as the dew — tiny bits of water — that forms on their spines (尖刺) and skin. This has inspired researcher Tegwen Malik from Swansea University to think about whether the dew-colleting process might be reproduced in metal structures.
Specifically, Malik took a close look at the one-and-a-quarter-inch spines of Copiapoas and found that their surface has a series of tiny channels that broaden at the base. “This creates a surface roughness that enables dewdrops to move along them even against gravity,” she says.
Starting in 2013, she set out to re-create that structure by engineering a flat metal reproduction of the stems and spines of the Copiapoa, which she began testing under a series of different temperatures and humidities. After several years of experiments — testing indoor and outdoor conditions, and with various cooling methods — she finally got it to work. In 2023, Malik published a study showing that the irregular surface was 8 percent more efficient at harvesting dew than a flat sheet used as a baseline.
Malik imagines desert homes with water-collecting features to provide clean water in dry regions. “The easiest way could be to place dew-harvesting surfaces on roofs, but you could also have these structures in tents in the desert,” she says. “We truly have hidden treasures in the Copiapoa, and we are only just learning some of their secrets.”
32. What does the underlined word “resilient” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Highly adaptable to different soils. B. Able to grow quickly and efficiently
C. Resistant to diseases and harmful insects. D. Capable of surviving difficult conditions
33. What drove Tegwen Malik to study Copiapoas?
A. Their metal-like surface. B. Their mechanism to gather water.
C. Their typical appearance D. Their ability to form water drops.
34. What was the main focus of Malik’s experiment with the Copiapoa?
A. Recreating a flat metal copy of it B. Testing if its metal copy would work
C. Seeing how it survives various climates. D. Finding the most efficient cooling method for it.
35. How may Malik’s metal structure be applied?
A. To secure water supply in dry areas. B. To clean salty water in desert homes.
C. To enable desert explorers to travel light. D. To improve ways to discover hidden treasures.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. A

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家受仙人掌启发,研发出了可以在干旱地区收集露水的金属结构,为干燥地区提供清洁水源。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Weallknow cacti (仙人掌) store water-but to surive, they also adjust their flower positions to gain more sunlight or shade, andso much more. Scientists have been copying the resilient plants’ methods to help engineer our future. (我们都知道仙人掌能储存水分,但为了生存,它们还会调整花朵的位置以获得更多阳光或阴凉,诸如此类还有很多。科学家们一直在模仿这些resilient的植物的方法,以帮助设计我们的未来)”可知,划线词修饰的plants指代Weallknow cacti (仙人掌),这种植物能在干旱的沙漠中生存下来,所以推断resilient的意思是“能在困难环境中生存下来的”。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Documented by many scientists, Copiapoas probably survive by “drinking” the salty fog that sweeps in from the sea every morning, as well as the dew — tiny bits of water — that forms on their spines (尖刺) and skin. This has inspired researcher Tegwen Malik from Swansea University to think about whether the dew-collecting process might be reproduced in metal structures. (许多科学家记录到,Copiapoas可能通过“饮用”每天早晨从海上席卷而来的咸雾,以及在其尖刺和皮肤上形成的露水——微小的水滴——来生存。这启发了来自斯旺西大学的研究者Tegwen Malik思考露水收集过程是否可以在金属结构中重现)”可知,是仙人掌收集水分的机制启发了Tegwen Malik去研究它。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Starting in 2013, she set out to re-create that structure by engineering a flat metal reproduction of the stems and spines of the Copiapoa, which she began testing under a series of different temperatures and humidities. (从2013年开始,她开始通过制作Copiapoa茎和刺的平面金属复制品来重现这种结构,并在一系列不同的温度和湿度下开始测试)”以及“In 2023, Malik published a study showing that the irregular surface was 8 percent more efficient at harvesting dew than a flat sheet used as a baseline. (2023年,Malik发表了一项研究,研究表明,这种不规则表面收集露水的效率比用作基准的平面高8%)”可知,Malik关于Copiapoa的实验重点是测试它的金属复制品是否有效。故选B。
35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Malik imagines desert homes with water-collecting features to provide clean water in dry regions. (Malik设想沙漠中的房屋有集水功能,为干旱地区提供清洁水源)”可知,Malik的金属结构可能被应用于确保干旱地区的水供应。故选A。

During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. ____36____ For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal.
____37____ One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal.
Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. ___38___ When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality.
To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. _____39_____
Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. ____40____ Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body.
A. Many factors shape your body image.
B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction.
C. However, your true beauty lies within your heart.

67. 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。
In our weekly staff meeting, our editor Ashley was not pleased with the quality of our reporting. “Our readership is way down. We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas?” she said.
I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people ‘s attention.”
After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students.
Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right? I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot.
“He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfeld Stole Perry.” “This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently.
After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played? An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone.
I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. ”He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s ready for some quieter days,“ he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry.

【答案】范文
To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. “This is the very story we need to attract more readers,” she argued. To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie. Noticing her hesitant expression, I further explained the potential harm it would cause to the player and our, paper ‘s reputation. After some discussion, Ashley finally gave in, “OK, let’s try with real stories.“ Then I went to gather all the necessary information to write an article about Perry and the precious memories we shared over the years.
On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. Soon, it sparked heated discussions among students about Perry. Many were disappointed with Perry’s sudden departure, but were comforted by the fact that he was in good care. The story also evoked sweet memories of Perry. Some students even requested to share their stories of him in our paper! Seeing the story’s success, Ashley came to me and said sincerely, “You are right! It’s a good story.” Her words brought me a great sense of fulfillment. Indeed, true stories might not always draw attention, but they have the power to touch and connect.

Last year, my husband and I decided to make our 12-storey building more of a community. We live in a small rented apartment in Park Merced, a large housing development. I would call us lower-middle-class. A lot of nurses, bus drivers, and tradesmen live here, many of them 1st or 2nd generation immigrants (移民).
We’re all renters. Renters come and go and tend not to see the buildings they live in as their home. But it can be done. We started with a monthly two-hour social in the building lobby (前厅) on the second Fridays of each month. Some people came, between 15-30 each time. The events lasted two hours, but there wasn’t much to do besides talking, eating snacks and drinking juice. The socials were nice, but most residents gave them a miss.
Then one day I was on the nearby campus of San Francisco State University. A young man from a social club for students had a big sign about “Building Community”. I asked him, “How do you do that?” He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person. That made a lot of sense to me.
I bought a large world map. At the social, I taped it on the lobby walls with signs that said “Where We’re From. Put a green sticker where you were born and yellow stickers where your grandparents were born.” People put up their stickers and looked where other people came from. We left the map up overnight, and the next day, Saturday, more people played. I planned to leave the map and stickers up for a month or more. They certainly made the lobby more interesting than the housing project look it usually has.
I see that there will be challenges, but I also know that a strong community will help us live good lives. I have the time and energy to do this work.
24. What trouble did the author have building a community?
A. The community was poor. B. She lacked enough money.
C. Renters had no sense of belonging. D. Her neighbors were all immigrants.
25. How did the author find her earlier events?
A. Fruitful. B. Ordinary. C. Inspiring. D. Messy.
26. What did the author do in order to change the socials?
A. Adopt a sharing game. B. Add foods and drinks.
C. Admit experienced locals. D. Ask some students for support.
27. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Responsible and strict. B. Demanding and ambitious.
C. Knowledgeable and modest. D. Insightful and determined.
C
For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
28. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues?
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apples new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
30. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____.
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
31. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back
C Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design
D
We all know cacti (仙人掌) store water — but to survive, they also adjust their flower positions to gain more sunlight or shade, and so much more. Scientists have been copying the resilient plants’ methods to help engineer our future.
One of the most exciting advancements involves Copiapoa, a genus of cacti with at least 32 species found in the coastal Atacama Desert, the driest nonpolar desert on Earth. These cacti, typically five to six inches wide, can form gray-green bushes that spread out over an area otherwise empty of vegetation.
Documented by many scientists, Copiapoas probably survive by “drinking” the salty fog that sweeps in from the sea every morning, as well as the dew — tiny bits of water — that forms on their spines (尖刺) and skin. This has inspired researcher Tegwen Malik from Swansea University to think about whether the dew-colleting process might be reproduced in metal structures.
Specifically, Malik took a close look at the one-and-a-quarter-inch spines of Copiapoas and found that their surface has a series of tiny channels that broaden at the base. “This creates a surface roughness that enables dewdrops to move along them even against gravity,” she says.
Starting in 2013, she set out to re-create that structure by engineering a flat metal reproduction of the stems and spines of the Copiapoa, which she began testing under a series of different temperatures and humidities. After several years of experiments — testing indoor and outdoor conditions, and with various cooling methods — she finally got it to work. In 2023, Malik published a study showing that the irregular surface was 8 percent more efficient at harvesting dew than a flat sheet used as a baseline.
Malik imagines desert homes with water-collecting features to provide clean water in dry regions. “The easiest way could be to place dew-harvesting surfaces on roofs but you could also have these structures in tents in the desert,” she says. “We truly have hidden treasures in the Copiapoa, and we are only just learning some of their secrets.”
32. What does the underlined word “resilient” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Highly adaptable to different soils. B. Able to grow quickly and efficiently
C. Resistant to diseases and harmful insects. D. Capable of surviving difficult conditions
33. What drove Tegwen Malik to study Copiapoas?
A. Their metal-like surface. B. Their mechanism to gather water.
C. Their typical appearance D. Their ability to form water drops.
34. What was the main focus of Malik’s experiment with the Copiapoa?
A. Recreating a flat metal copy of it B. Testing if its metal copy would work
C. Seeing how it survives various climates. D. Finding the most efficient cooling method for it.
35. How may Malik’s metal structure be applied?
A. To secure water supply in dry areas. B. To clean salty water in desert homes.
C. To enable desert explorers to travel light. D. To improve ways to discover hidden treasures.

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。
During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. ____36____ For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal.
____37____ One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal.
Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. ___38___ When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality.
To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. _____39_____
Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. ____40____ Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body.
A. Many factors shape your body image.
B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction.
C. However, your true beauty lies within your heart.
D. External judgement can be a double-edged sword.
E. Without these tricks they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else.
F. Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality.
G. This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths.

67. 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。
In our weekly staff meeting, our editor Ashley was not pleased with the quality of our reporting. “Our readership is way down. We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas?” she said.
I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people ‘s attention.”
After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students.
Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right? I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot.
“He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfeld Stole Perry.” “This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently.
After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played? An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone.
I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. ”He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s ready for some quieter days,“ he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry.
