Steve Bagmanyan found his calling in a workshop filled with broken instruments. But every year, the shop brings both joy and heartbreak. Due to budget cuts, the number of technicians has dropped from 60 to just 11, leaving them to repair instruments for more than half a million students in Los Angeles public schools.
“The work we do is important and needs to be preserved, but it’s becoming a dying craft,” said Bagmanyan,60, who runs the shop and handles piano repairs. “Children are our future, yet music programs are being cut across the country.”
However, there is hope for the shop. The Last Repair Shop, a short documentary featuring Bagmanyan and three other technicians, recently won an Oscar for best documentary short film. The film combines their personal stories with reflections from students who have found comfort and joy in music.
Few people even knew the shop existed before the documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last of its kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children, public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more easily afford.
Since the release of the film, public support has soared. Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los Angeles. “People are inspired by what we do and want to support a dying art form,” said Ben Proudfoot, who co-directed the documentary.
Bagmanyan knows that a poorly maintained instrument can discourage a child from learning. “If an instrument doesn’t work properly, a child might give up on music,” he said. “But when you know the instrument is going to a student who loves it, it’s impossible not to smile.”
After 21 years of service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knowing that children may carry a love of music with them for a lifetime. “I was planning to retire,” he admitted. “But now I’ll rebuild the shop to what it once was and keep going a little longer.”
4. What is the challenge faced by Bagmanyan?
A. Old instruments. B. Declining number of students.
C. Low profitability. D. Shortage of skilled technicians.
5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The career achievements of Bagmanyan.
B. The popularity of the documentary.
C. The unique history of the school district.
D. The importance of the repair shop.
6. How does the documentary impact the shop?
A. It enhances the shop’s public image.
B. It attracts new business opportunities.
C. It helps sustain the shop’s operation.
D. It provides education to the community.
7. What do the underlined words “his cup is full” in the last paragraph mean?
A. He is ready to retire. B. He feels deeply satisfied.
C. He is tired of the spotlight. D. He has become very wealthy.
C
When I was 14, I found myself in trouble for not doing my homework, which led me to Room E for school punishment. My teacher, Mr. McDonald, placed a stick on my desk and told me, “Think of as many ways to use this stick as you can.” When I looked puzzled, he smiled and gave me a tip: “Imagine you are someone or something else — a baby, a dog, or a bird — and look at the stick again.”
That moment stuck with me. To this day, I consider it the best punishment I ever received. Mr. McDonald’s advice — “Look at the stick with different eyes” — is a great introduction to the concept of Umwelt, developed by German biologist Jakob von Uexküll.
Uexküll’s Umwelt refers to the idea that every living creature perceives the world differently, based on its biological makeup and how it interacts with its environment. There is no “one” objective world; instead, every creature experiences its own version of reality. Take bees, for example. To a human, a flower is just a beautiful object with pleasant colors and fragrances. However, for a bee, flowers are much more than that. Bees can see ultraviolet (UV) light, which humans cannot. In a bee’s world, flowers reveal intricate UV patterns that act as road signs, leading them to nectar (花蜜). This UV-rich environment helps bees find food and pollinate (授粉) flowers, ensuring both their survival and that of plants.
Similarly, humans also experience the world through their own perspectives (视角), shaped by what they care about and find meaningful. Imagine sitting through a dull presentation, barely paying attention. Suddenly, the speaker mentions a topic that directly interests you, and you become fully engaged. Uexküll’s idea teaches us that people, like bees, connect with the world in unique ways. The key takeaway for presenters is to craft their messages to appeal to different interests. By doing so, they have a better chance of reaching and engaging a diverse audience.
8. What advice did Mr. McDonald give to the author for using the stick?
A Think from new angles. B. Discuss ideas with others.
C. Write down quick thoughts. D. Observe the stick closely.
9. What mainly shapes the way bees perceive flowers?
A. The patterns on the flowers. B. Their ability to detect UV light.
C. The environment where they live. D. Their experience of finding nectar.
10. What should presenters do to engage their audience?
A. Keep presentations short. B. Focus on just one topic.
C. Use fewer technical terms. D. Adapt to different interests.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Shifting Perspectives: The Power of Seeing Differently
B. Uexküll’s Umwelt: How Reality Defines Living Beings
C. UV Vision and Beyond: How Bees Experience the World
D. Learning from McDonald: A Lesson of Boosting Creativity
D
At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up.
Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable.
In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning.
The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time.
This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education.
12. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe?
A. Prioritizing effort over well-being.
B. Relieving stress through social activities.
C. Displaying graceful images to attract others.
D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted.
13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception?
A. By showing effort fuels the brain activity.
B. By proving focus enhances brain function.
C. By linking color recognition to intelligence.
D. By associating careful observation with talent.
14. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”?
A. It values the learning process over outcomes.
B. It causes stress and false ideas about success.
C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents.
D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying.
15. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision.
B. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece.
C. Work in silence and let success make the noise.
D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it.

McRaven argues that if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.

The Right Thing to Do
Fauna had always’ dreamed of keeping a pet. Time and again, she asked her parents, promising to walk, feed, and look after it. Each time, though, they gave the same gentle response: “We’ll see.”
One afternoon, on her way home from school, Fauna saw a little dog wandering near the park. Its fur was messy, and it looked lost, sniffing the ground as if searching for something Feeling curious and hopeful, Fauna bent down and called to it. The dog quickly ran over, wagging (摇) its tail and gently pressing its nose into her hand, like they had known each other forever.
She looked around, but no one seemed to be searching for the dog. Feeling pity for the lost dog, Fauna decided to take it home. As they walked side by side, her heart swelled with joy. It felt as though this was the pet she had always dreamed of — a friend she had been waiting for.
At the front door, Fauna’s mother greeted her with a warm smile. Although she found the dog adorable, she gently reminded Fauna that they needed to try and find its owner. If the dog was lost, someone must be missing it. Fauna reluctantly (不情愿地) agreed, though part of her wished no one would come forward to claim the little dog.
Over the next few days, Fauna and the dog-whom she named Buddy — grew inseparable. She fed him, played with him, and let him sleep curled up at the foot of her bed. Every day, it became harder to imagine lie without him Buddy seemed happy too wagging his tail: whenever she came home from school. But Fauna knew deep down that she had to do the right thing. She and her parents posted flyers around town, hoping to find Buddy’s owner.
Just a few days later, the phone rang Fauna’s heart sank as her father answered. From the conversation, it was clear that the caller was Buddy’s owner. He described Buddy perfectly — friendly eyes and playful personality. Fauna knew Buddy would soon be leaving her. Her father arranged for the owner to come by and pick Buddy up.

Steve Bagmanyan found his calling in a workshop filled with broken instruments. But every year, the shop brings both joy and heartbreak. Due to budget cuts, the number of technicians has dropped from 60 to just 11, leaving them to repair instruments for more than half a million students in Los Angeles public schools.
“The work we do is important and needs to be preserved, but it’s becoming a dying craft,” said Bagmanyan,60, who runs the shop and handles piano repairs. “Children are our future, yet music programs are being cut across the country.”
However, there is hope for the shop. The Last Repair Shop, a short documentary featuring Bagmanyan and three other technicians, recently won an Oscar for best documentary short film. The film combines their personal stories with reflections from students who have found comfort and joy in music.
Few people even knew the shop existed before the documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last of its kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children, public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more easily afford.
Since the release of the film, public support has soared. Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los Angeles. “People are inspired by what we do and want to support a dying art form,” said Ben Proudfoot, who co-directed the documentary.
Bagmanyan knows that a poorly maintained instrument can discourage a child from learning. “If an instrument doesn’t work properly, a child might give up on music,” he said. “But when you know the instrument is going to a student who loves it, it’s impossible not to smile.”
After 21 years of service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knowing that children may carry a love of music with them for a lifetime. “I was planning to retire,” he admitted. “But now I’ll rebuild the shop to what it once was and keep going a little longer.”
4. What is the challenge faced by Bagmanyan?
A. Old instruments. B. Declining number of students.
C. Low profitability. D. Shortage of skilled technicians.
5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The career achievements of Bagmanyan.
B. The popularity of the documentary.
C. The unique history of the school district.
D. The importance of the repair shop.
6. How does the documentary impact the shop?
A. It enhances the shop’s public image.
B. It attracts new business opportunities.
C. It helps sustain the shop’s operation.
D. It provides education to the community.
7. What do the underlined words “his cup is full” in the last paragraph mean?
A. He is ready to retire. B. He feels deeply satisfied.
C. He is tired of the spotlight. D. He has become very wealthy.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Steve Bagmanyan和他的乐器维修店的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Due to budget cuts, the number of technicians has dropped from 60 to just 11, leaving them to repair instruments for more than half a million students in Los Angeles public schools. (由于预算削减,技术人员的人数从60人减少到了仅11人,而他们却要负责维修洛杉矶公立学校超过50万名学生的乐器)”可知,由于预算削减,技术人员的人数从60人减少到只有11人,所以Bagmanyan面临的挑战是技术人员短缺。故选D。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Few people even knew the shop existed before the documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last of its kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children, public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more easily afford. (在这部纪录片上映之前,几乎没人知道这家工坊的存在。这家自1959年就开始运营的工坊,被认为是全国同类工坊中仅存的一家。巴格马尼扬和他的团队为整个学区的学校提供免费乐器和维修服务,服务对象往往是来自低收入家庭的孩子。对于这些孩子中的许多人来说,公立学校是他们获得乐器的唯一途径,而富裕家庭则更容易负担得起乐器)”可知,本段主要讲述了维修工作室的重要性。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第五段中“Since the release of the film, public support has soared. Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los Angeles. (自这部影片上映以来,公众支持度急剧上升。人们纷纷捐款,用于资助更多的维修工作和加强洛杉矶学校的音乐课程)”可知,这部纪录片帮助维持了工作室的运营。故选C。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章最后一段中“After 21 years of service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knowing that children may carry a love of music with them for a lifetime. (在服务了21年之后,Bagmanyan表示his cup is full,因为他知道孩子们可能会将这份对音乐的热爱延续一生)”可知,他知道孩子们可能会将这份对音乐的热爱延续一生,由此可知,Bagmanyan对此感到深深的满足,所以his cup is full意思是“已经心满意足”,与He feels deeply satisfied“他感到非常满意”意思相符。故选B。
C
When I was 14, I found myself in trouble for not doing my homework, which led me to Room E for school punishment. My teacher, Mr. McDonald, placed a stick on my desk and told me, “Think of as many ways to use this stick as you can.” When I looked puzzled, he smiled and gave me a tip: “Imagine you are someone or something else — a baby, a dog, or a bird — and look at the stick again.”
That moment stuck with me. To this day, I consider it the best punishment I ever received. Mr. McDonald’s advice — “Look at the stick with different eyes” — is a great introduction to the concept of Umwelt, developed by German biologist Jakob von Uexküll.
Uexküll’s Umwelt refers to the idea that every living creature perceives the world differently, based on its biological makeup and how it interacts with its environment. There is no “one” objective world; instead, every creature experiences its own version of reality. Take bees, for example. To a human, a flower is just a beautiful object with pleasant colors and fragrances. However, for a bee, flowers are much more than that. Bees can see ultraviolet (UV) light, which humans cannot. In a bee’s world, flowers reveal intricate UV patterns that act as road signs, leading them to nectar (花蜜). This UV-rich environment helps bees find food and pollinate (授粉) flowers, ensuring both their survival and that of plants.
Similarly, humans also experience the world through their own perspectives (视角), shaped by what they care about and find meaningful. Imagine sitting through a dull presentation, barely paying attention. Suddenly, the speaker mentions a topic that directly interests you, and you become fully engaged. Uexküll’s idea teaches us that people, like bees, connect with the world in unique ways. The key takeaway for presenters is to craft their messages to appeal to different interests. By doing so, they have a better chance of reaching and engaging a diverse audience.
8. What advice did Mr. McDonald give to the author for using the stick?
A. Think from new angles. B. Discuss ideas with others.
C. Write down quick thoughts. D. Observe the stick closely.
9. What mainly shapes the way bees perceive flowers?
A. The patterns on the flowers. B. Their ability to detect UV light.
C. The environment where they live. D. Their experience of finding nectar.
10. What should presenters do to engage their audience?
A. Keep presentations short. B. Focus on just one topic.
C. Use fewer technical terms. D. Adapt to different interests.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Shifting Perspectives: The Power of Seeing Differently
B. Uexküll’s Umwelt: How Reality Defines Living Beings
C. UV Vision and Beyond: How Bees Experience the World
D. Learning from McDonald: A Lesson of Boosting Creativity
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者通过自己的经历说明通过不同的视角来感知世界的力量。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I looked puzzled, he smiled and gave me a tip: ‘Imagine you are someone or something else — a baby, a dog, or a bird — and look at the stick again.’(当我看起来很困惑的时候,他微笑着给了我一个建议:‘想象你是一个人或别的东西——一个婴儿、一只狗或一只鸟——再看看那根棍子。’)”可知,老师建议作者从新的视角来使用这根棍子,故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Bees can see ultraviolet (UV) light, which humans cannot. In a bee’s world, flowers reveal intricate UV patterns that act as road signs, leading them to nectar (花蜜).(蜜蜂能看到紫外线,而人类却看不见。在蜜蜂的世界里,花朵显示出复杂的紫外线图案,就像路标一样,引导它们找到花蜜)”可知,蜜蜂能看到紫外线,在蜜蜂看来花朵显示出复杂的紫外线图案,就像路标一样,引导它们找到花蜜,故蜜蜂看到紫外线的能力塑造了蜜蜂感知花朵的方式,故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The key takeaway for presenters is to craft their messages to appeal to different interests. By doing so, they have a better chance of reaching and engaging a diverse audience.(演讲者的关键要点是精心设计他们的信息,以吸引不同的兴趣。通过这样做,他们有更好的机会接触和吸引不同的受众)”可知,演讲者应该使演讲内容适合不同受众的兴趣,故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第二段中“Mr. McDonald’s advice — ‘Look at the stick with different eyes’ — is a great introduction to the concept of Umwelt(McDonald先生的建议——‘用不同的眼光看待棍子’——是对Umwelt概念的一个很好的介绍)”可知,作者通过自己的经历说明通过不同的视角来感知世界的力量,A项“转变视角:不同视角的力量”为最佳标题,故选A。
D
At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up.
Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable.
In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily distinguishable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to differentiate. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning.
The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time.
This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education.
12. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe?
A. Prioritizing effort over well-being.
B. Relieving stress through social activities.
C. Displaying graceful images to attract others.
D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted.
13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the misconception?
A. By showing effort fuels the brain activity.
B. By proving focus enhances brain function.
C. By linking color recognition to intelligence.
D. By associating careful observation with talent.
14. What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”?
A. It values the learning process over outcomes.
B. It causes stress and false ideas about success.
C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents.
D. It makes students prioritize socializing over studying.
15. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Fortune favors those with a clear vision.
B. Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece.
C. Work in silence and let success make the noise.
D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“斯坦福鸭子综合征”现象及其影响,并强调努力的重要性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. (在顶尖大学中,有一种被称为“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的现象。就像鸭子一样,学生们表面上看起来行动优雅。然而,在水面之下,他们正拼命划水以跟上节奏。)”和第二段中“Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. (斯坦福大学健康服务的专家揭示了这一令人担忧的趋势:白天,许多斯坦福学生被看到在咖啡馆里社交,似乎没有任何压力或学习的需求。然而,到了晚上,他们开始学习,有时甚至通宵达旦,试图维持那种毫不费力的成功形象。)”可知,“斯坦福鸭子综合征”描述的是学生们表面上看起来轻松优雅,实际上却在背后拼命努力,以维持自己轻松成功的形象。即隐藏努力工作以显得天生聪明。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. (随着任务难度的增加,大脑活动明显增加,特别是在与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域。)”和第四段中“The study reveals that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. (这项研究表明,随着任务需要更多的努力,大脑更多的区域会变得活跃。)”可知,实验通过展示任务难度增加时,大脑活动特别是与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域活动明显增加,来挑战“天才轻松成功,努力者能力不足”的误解,证明了努力会激发大脑活动。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true geniuses achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less capable. (这付出了高昂的代价:疲惫和焦虑普遍存在。此外,这还导致了一个常见的误解:真正的天才能够轻松取得成功,而那些努力的人则能力较差。)”可知,作者对“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的主要担忧是它导致学生产生对成功的错误观念,即认为真正的天才能够轻松取得成功,而努力工作的人则能力较差。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. (成长不仅仅来自天赋,还来自持续的努力。我们的大脑就像肌肉一样。如果不努力,即使我们天生的才能也会随着时间的推移而消退。)”和“By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. (通过鼓励一种重视努力的文化,我们可以帮助学生认识到智力不是固定的,而是可以通过努力工作得到发展的。)”可知,作者认为成长不仅来自天赋,还来自持续的努力,大脑就像肌肉一样,如果不努力,即使天生的才能也会随时间消退,鼓励重视努力的文化可以帮助学生意识到智力不是固定的,而是通过努力工作成长的。因此,作者可能会同意“汗水是书写杰作的墨水”这一观点,即努力是取得成功的关键。故选B。

___17___. As researchers state in a report, doing undemanding tasks allows the mind to wander. Your mind gets a break, which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes. In fact, undemanding tasks stimulate (激发) more creative ideas than demanding tasks or just resting.
Chores are linked to a lower dementia (痴呆) risk. To discover what activities might be linked to a lower rate of dementia, researchers analyzed massive amounts of healthcare data from the UK Biobank. They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores. ___18___.
Finishing your chores can increase motivation. BJ Fogg, author of Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything, states that the most important skill is recognizing and celebrating successes. Completing even a small task, like making your bed, can give you a sense of satisfaction. ___19___. Similarly, author Admiral William H. McRaven argues that if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
Chores are good for children’s mental health. Children develop a sense of ownership when they have jobs to do around the house and it makes them feel like they are an important member of the household. ___20___. In my own case, I bond with my daughter by gossiping (闲聊) and singing while we do chores together.
A. Chores are an opportunity for “me time”
B. Chores can lead to creative problem-solving

One afternoon, on her way home from school, Fauna saw a little dog wandering near the park. Its fur was messy, and it looked lost, sniffing the ground as if searching for something Feeling curious and hopeful, Fauna bent down and called to it. The dog quickly ran over, wagging (摇) its tail and gently pressing its nose into her hand, like they had known each other forever.
She looked around, but no one seemed to be searching for the dog. Feeling pity for the lost dog, Fauna decided to take it home. As they walked side by side, her heart swelled with joy. It felt as though this was the pet she had always dreamed of — a friend she had been waiting for.
At the front door, Fauna’s mother greeted her with a warm smile. Although she found the dog adorable, she gently reminded Fauna that they needed to try and find its owner. If the dog was lost, someone must be missing it. Fauna reluctantly (不情愿地) agreed, though part of her wished no one would come forward to claim the little dog.
Over the next few days, Fauna and the dog-whom she named Buddy — grew inseparable. She fed him, played with him, and let him sleep curled up at the foot of her bed. Every day, it became harder to imagine lie without him Buddy seemed happy too wagging his tail: whenever she came home from school. But Fauna knew deep down that she had to do the right thing. She and her parents posted flyers around town, hoping to find Buddy’s owner.
Just a few days later, the phone rang Fauna’s heart sank as her father answered. From the conversation, it was clear that the caller was Buddy’s owner.

When the man arrived, the little dog ran straight into his arms, barking with joy. Fauna watched as Buddy wagged his tail furiously, licking the man’s face with excitement. It was clear that Buddy remembered his owner and was overjoyed to see him again. The man thanked Fauna and her family for taking such good care of Buddy. Fauna knelt down to give Buddy one last hug, whispering, “I’ll miss you, Buddy.” As the man led Buddy away, Fauna stood at the door, waving until they were out of sight. That evening, Fauna sat quietly in her room, feeling the emptiness that Buddy’s absence had left behind. She realized that while saying goodbye to Buddy was hard, it had also opened the door to a new possibility — a chance to give another animal a loving home.
