One of the basic expectations the public have of doctors is honesty. But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 percent of doctors admitted to lying to their patients?
This seems unimaginable but I have told lies to several patients whose spouses (配偶) had died. Mrs. Walton was in her eighties and desperate to see her husband. She’d been in hospital after a fall and was in pain. She called out for him frequently and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t there to comfort her. She was becoming more upset and would try to get up to find him, in spite of being at risk of falling again. “He’s on his way, don’t worry,” the nurses would say and this would calm her down. She’d smile and roll her eyes and say how he was always late for things and tell the same story about him being late for their wedding nearly 60 years ago.
Part of the natural history of many of the dementias (痴呆), in particular Alzheimer’s disease which is what Mrs. Walton had, is that the sufferer loses their memory of recent events, but retains memories from the distant past. Sufferers are trapped forever in a puzzling past. It is strongly upsetting and tormenting. Many of the behavioral difficulties that I have seen in those with dementia relate to them feeling scared and confused that they are surrounded by strange people, even when they are surrounded by their family, because they have regressed back to decades ago. They look at their adult children confused and wonder who they could be because they think their children are still toddlers (幼童).
How does one address this? I have had countless families break down in tears in clinics, not knowing what to say or how to react as their loved one moves further and further away from them back into their distant past and they are left behind in the present. The lies that doctors and nurses tell these patients are not big, elaborate lies — they are brief confirmations intended to comfort and allow the subject to be swiftly changed. It is, when done in the right way, kind and compassionate. Sometimes, honesty is simply not the best policy.
4. Why did the nurses lie to Mrs. Walton?
A. To persuade her into taking medicine. B. To comfort her and change the subject.
C. To stop her complaining about her husband. D. To bring her back to memories of old times.
5. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 3?
A. Painful. B. Frightening.
C. Regretful. D. Confusing.
6. What can we infer from the text?
A. The majority of the doctors are absolutely honest with their patients.
B. People suffering from dementias are stuck in distant memories.
C. Patients with dementias are usually frightened by unfamiliar people.
D. Individuals undergoing dementias are left behind by their loved ones.
7. What’s the author’s attitude towards doctors telling lies to certain patients?
A. Disapproving. B. Neutral.
C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
C
Tourists across China have enjoyed a chain of cultural events from traditional to modern and discovered new destinations during this year’s five-day May Day holiday.
Items on China’s traditional intangible cultural heritage list proved to be popular with travelers in many regions. In Lantian county, northwest China’s Shanxi Province, tourists were amazed by the art of Dawaz, which means aerial tightrope (空中钢丝) walking in the Uygur language. Meanwhile, in east China’s Changzhou City, music festivals attracted huge crowds of travelers, and local authorities introduced measures to ensure the comfort of visitors. They arranged 500 coaches for long-distance travel, set up more than 10,000 free parking spaces and extended the operation hours of the subway network until 11:30 p. m.
And it’s not just big cities that drew in visitors during this holiday. Holiday makers decided to go for natural views, less-crowded scenic spots, and cost-effective travel experiences. Data from Chinese travel booking platform Ctrip showed that orders for fourth-tier and below cities increased by 140 percent on a yearly basis, outperforming those in first and second-tier cities.
Wu Sa, deputy director of the Economic Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, expressed belief that the popularity of usual major destinations like Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Chengdu is not decreasing, but explained that a good number of travelers are looking to diversify the range of their travels, towards new and previously lesser-known places.
Scientific and space projects have also been a hit travel destination this week, from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China to the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope in the southwestern province of Guizhou. “I mainly wanted to take my child to appreciate some of China’s leading space technology and the development trend of big data, so that he can understand the advanced technology of our motherland,” said a tourist named Hu Wannping.
8. What attracted tourists to the Changzhou City?
A. The launch of appealing music festivals.
B. The Aerial tightrope walking performance.
C. The celebration of traditional cultural events.
D. The measures to provide comfort for tourists.
9. What may account for people’s choice of fourth-tier and below cities?
A. Abundant parking spaces. B. Famous scenic spots.
C. Low travelling expenses. D. Convenient booking platforms.
10. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The growth of visitors is causing various social issues.
B Scientific and space projects receive the least attention.
C. Orders for major destinations in big cities are decreasing.
D. Tourists are open-minded as to the choices of spending holidays.
11. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Festivals and Celebrations across China B. New Trend for Labor Day Tourist Destinations
C. The Popularity of Well-known Destinations D. China’s Traditional Intangible Cultural Heritage
D
If you’ve long assumed that you must rid yourself of delicious foods to be healthy, a new study offers encouraging news: Eating dark chocolate has been associated with a reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
The research did not prove that the chocolate itself was responsible for this health benefit; it could be something else about the people who ate dark chocolate that made them less likely to develop diabetes. And dark chocolate should not be considered a “magic bullet” for preventing diabetes, said Dr. Sun, a professor of nutrition from Harvard.
But the findings do build on a larger body of research demonstrating links between dark chocolate consumption and reduced risks of certain health conditions like high blood pressure.
“The results”, Dr. Sun added, “suggest that a little dark chocolate can be part of a healthy diet”. In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, researchers began studying three groups of mostly white health professionals. Every four years, the more than 190,000 participants completed detailed diet questionnaires, which asked how often they consumed chocolate.
Beginning in 2006 and 2007, depending on the group, the researchers tweaked (调整) the questionnaires to ask how often participants ate dark chocolate and milk chocolate. They followed the participants’ health for up to 34 years. During that time, nearly 19,000 participants developed Type 2 diabetes.
After adjusting for other aspects of their lifestyles, such as exercise, alcohol consumption, as well as their age and family history of diabetes, the researchers found that people who consumed at least five servings of any type of chocolate per week had a 10 percent lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared with those who rarely or never ate chocolate.
But when they drilled down into the data from the nearly 112,000 people who provided details on the types of chocolate they consumed, the researchers found an even more striking result: Those who consumed at least five servings of dark chocolate per week had a 21 percent lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes than those who consumed dark chocolate less than once per month.
12. Which statement would Dr. Sun agree with?
A. Dark chocolate alone can not prevent diabetes.
B. Dark chocolate can be eaten in large quantities.
C Chocolate is likely to directly prevent Type 2 diabetes.
D. Milk chocolate and dark one have equal health benefits.
13. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. By tracking people with a family history of diabetes.
B. By observing participants’ chocolate-eating habits.
C. By performing experiments and making comparisons.
D. By conducting surveys and making adjustments.
14. In which section of a newspaper might you read this article?
A. Diet & Culture. B. Health & Science.
C. Food & Lifestyle. D. Sports & Exercise.
15. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Dark Chocolate: A New Cure for Diabetes
B. Dark Chocolate: A Promising Healthy Diet
C. Could Dark Chocolate Reduce Your Risk of Diabetes?
D. What’s the Link Between Dark Chocolate and Health?

For those students in city, the road to school might mean the convenience of their dad’s cars, where the heater keeps them comfortable and the radio plays music. But for Tom, who lived in a remote village, it meant a dangerous journey through strong winds and piles of snow.
It was a cold morning. The snow blanketed every rooftop and weighed on the branches of big trees. Tom woke up early, with the howling wind outside his small cabin (小木屋). He put on lots of clothes, including his thickest wool socks and warmest coat. As he was about to go, there was a knock on the door. It’s his classmate Peter in the same village. “Hey, Tom,” Peter said. “Do you think we should go to school today?” “I know it’s tough,” Tom replied, looking at the heavy snow outside, “but missing school means we’ll fall behind.” Finally, they decided to go to school.
The snow had been falling for days, building up on the narrow path that led to school. Tom and Peter stepped out into the snowstorm, with boots sinking deep into the snow. Tom used his arms to push the snow away, and his heart was pounding as he worked hard. He fell down a few times, but each time he got up again. “I must go to school!” Tom said firmly. Thinking about the other kids in the village who insisted on going to school, he knew they were facing the same challenge. But they were all trying to learn and grow.
The wind had blown snow all over the path, making it hard to see where they were going. Not far away, Tom heard someone crying from behind a tree. “Peter, do you hear that?” Tom asked in a puzzled tone. “Let’s go and have a look.” Peter answered.

One of the basic expectations the public have of doctors is honesty. But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 percent of doctors admitted to lying to their patients?
This seems unimaginable but I have told lies to several patients whose spouses (配偶) had died. Mrs. Walton was in her eighties and desperate to see her husband. She’d been in hospital after a fall and was in pain. She called out for him frequently and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t there to comfort her. She was becoming more upset and would try to get up to find him, in spite of being at risk of falling again. “He’s on his way, don’t worry,” the nurses would say and this would calm her down. She’d smile and roll her eyes and say how he was always late for things and tell the same story about him being late for their wedding nearly 60 years ago.
Part of the natural history of many of the dementias (痴呆), in particular Alzheimer’s disease which is what Mrs. Walton had, is that the sufferer loses their memory of recent events, but retains memories from the distant past. Sufferers are trapped forever in a puzzling past. It is strongly upsetting and tormenting. Many of the behavioral difficulties that I have seen in those with dementia relate to them feeling scared and confused that they are surrounded by strange people, even when they are surrounded by their family, because they have regressed back to decades ago. They look at their adult children confused and wonder who they could be because they think their children are still toddlers (幼童).
How does one address this? I have had countless families break down in tears in clinics, not knowing what to say or how to react as their loved one moves further and further away from them back into their distant past and they are left behind in the present. The lies that doctors and nurses tell these patients are not big, elaborate lies — they are brief confirmations intended to comfort and allow the subject to be swiftly changed. It is, when done in the right way, kind and compassionate. Sometimes, honesty is simply not the best policy.
4. Why did the nurses lie to Mrs. Walton?
A To persuade her into taking medicine. B. To comfort her and change the subject.
C. To stop her complaining about her husband. D. To bring her back to memories of old times.
5. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 3?
A. Painful. B. Frightening.
C. Regretful. D. Confusing.
6. What can we infer from the text?
A. The majority of the doctors are absolutely honest with their patients.
B. People suffering from dementias are stuck in distant memories.
C. Patients with dementias are usually frightened by unfamiliar people.
D. Individuals undergoing dementias are left behind by their loved ones.
7. What’s the author’s attitude towards doctors telling lies to certain patients?
A. Disapproving. B. Neutral.
C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述Walton夫人的故事告诉我们,出于善意和同情,医生可以对病人说谎。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“She was becoming more upset and would try to get up to find him, in spite of being at risk of falling again. ‘He’s on his way, don’t worry,’ the nurses would say and this would calm her down.(她变得越来越不安,尽管有再次摔倒的危险,她还是会试图爬起来找到他。‘他在路上了,别担心,’护士们会说,这能让她平静下来)”和最后一段中“The lies that doctors and nurses tell these patients are not big, elaborate lies — they are brief confirmations intended to comfort and allow the subject to be swiftly changed.(医生和护士告诉这些病人的谎言并不是大而复杂的谎言——他们只是为了安慰和迅速转移话题而做的简短确认)”可推知,护士们对Walton夫人撒谎是为了安慰她,转移话题。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Sufferers are trapped forever in a puzzling past. It is strongly upsetting and tormenting.(患者永远被困在令人困惑的过去。这是非常令人不安和tormenting)”中“trapped forever in a puzzling past”以及划线词和形容词“upsetting”并列可推知,划线词tormenting意为“痛苦的”,与painful同义。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Part of the natural history of many of the dementias (痴呆), in particular Alzheimer's disease which is what Mrs. Walton had, is that the sufferer loses their memory of recent events, but retains memories from the distant past. Sufferers are trapped forever in a puzzling past.(许多痴呆症,尤其是Walton夫人所患的阿尔茨海默氏症,其自然历史的一部分是,患者失去了对近期事件的记忆,但保留了对遥远过去的记忆。患者永远被困在令人困惑的过去中)”可推知,患有痴呆症的人被困在遥远的记忆中。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is, when done in the right way, kind and compassionate. Sometimes, honesty is simply not the best policy.(如果使用正确,谎言也是善良和富有同情心的。有时,诚实并不是上策)”可知,作者认为医生对病人说谎,只要使用恰当就有其积极意义,所以他对此持支持态度。故选D项。

Tourists across China have enjoyed a chain of cultural events from traditional to modern, and discovered new destinations during this year’s five-day May Day holiday.
Items on China’s traditional intangible cultural heritage list proved to be popular with travelers in many regions. In Lantian county, northwest China’s Shanxi Province, tourists were amazed by the art of Dawaz, which means aerial tightrope (空中钢丝) walking in the Uygur language. Meanwhile, in east China’s Changzhou City, music festivals attracted huge crowds of travelers, and local authorities introduced measures to ensure the comfort of visitors. They arranged 500 coaches for long-distance travel, set up more than 10,000 free parking spaces and extended the operation hours of the subway network until 11:30 p. m.
And it’s not just big cities that drew in visitors during this holiday. Holiday makers decided to go for natural views, less-crowded scenic spots, and cost-effective travel experiences. Data from Chinese travel booking platform Ctrip showed that orders for fourth-tier and below cities increased by 140 percent on a yearly basis, outperforming those in first and second-tier cities.
Wu Sa, deputy director of the Economic Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, expressed belief that the popularity of usual major destinations like Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Chengdu is not decreasing, but explained that a good number of travelers are looking to diversify the range of their travels, towards new and previously lesser-known places.
Scientific and space projects have also been a hit travel destination this week, from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China to the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope in the southwestern province of Guizhou. “I mainly wanted to take my child to appreciate some of China’s leading space technology and the development trend of big data, so that he can understand the advanced technology of our motherland,” said a tourist named Hu Wannping.
8. What attracted tourists to the Changzhou City?
A. The launch of appealing music festivals.
B. The Aerial tightrope walking performance.
C. The celebration of traditional cultural events.
D. The measures to provide comfort for tourists.
9. What may account for people’s choice of fourth-tier and below cities?
A. Abundant parking spaces. B. Famous scenic spots.
C. Low travelling expenses. D. Convenient booking platforms.
10. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The growth of visitors is causing various social issues.
B. Scientific and space projects receive the least attention.
C Orders for major destinations in big cities are decreasing.
D. Tourists are open-minded as to the choices of spending holidays.
11. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Festivals and Celebrations across China B. New Trend for Labor Day Tourist Destinations
C. The Popularity of Well-known Destinations D. China’s Traditional Intangible Cultural Heritage
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】

Data from Chinese travel booking platform Ctrip showed that orders for fourth-tier and below cities increased by 140 percent on a yearly basis, outperforming those in first and second-tier cities.(度假者们决定去欣赏自然风光、不那么拥挤的景点,以及经济实惠的旅行体验。中国旅游预订平台携程的数据显示,四线及以下城市的订单量每年增长140%,超过一二线城市)”可知,较低的出行费用可能是人们选择四线及以下城市的原因。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段Wu Sa, deputy director of the Economic Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, expressed belief that the popularity of usual major destinations like Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Chengdu is not decreasing, but explained that a good number of travelers are looking to diversify the range of their travels, towards new and previously lesser-known places.(国家发展和改革委员会经济研究所副主任吴萨表示,北京、上海、重庆、杭州和成都等通常的主要目的地的受欢迎程度并没有下降,但他解释说,很多游客正在寻求多样化的旅行范围,去新的和以前不太为人所知的地方)”可知,游客的旅行选择变得多样化,会去新的和以前不太为人所知的地方。由此可知,游客对度假的选择持开放态度。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Tourists across China have enjoyed a chain of cultural events from traditional to modern, and discovered new destinations during this year’s five-day May Day holiday.(在今年的‘五一’长假期间,中国各地的游客享受了从传统到现代的一系列文化活动,并发现了新的旅游目的地)”可知,文章围绕今年“五一”假期中国游客的旅游趋势展开,包括对传统非物质文化遗产的兴趣、对新目的地的探索、以及对自然风光和经济实惠旅游选项的偏好。此外,科学和太空项目也吸引了游客,显示了公众对科技发展的关注。因此,B项“劳动节旅游目的地的新趋势”契合文章主旨,最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

If you’ve long assumed that you must rid yourself of delicious foods to be healthy, a new study offers encouraging news: Eating dark chocolate has been associated with a reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
The research did not prove that the chocolate itself was responsible for this health benefit; it could be something else about the people who ate dark chocolate that made them less likely to develop diabetes. And dark chocolate should not be considered a “magic bullet” for preventing diabetes, said Dr. Sun, a professor of nutrition from Harvard.
But the findings do build on a larger body of research demonstrating links between dark chocolate consumption and reduced risks of certain health conditions like high blood pressure.
“The results”, Dr. Sun added, “suggest that a little dark chocolate can be part of a healthy diet”. In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, researchers began studying three groups of mostly white health professionals. Every four years, the more than 190,000 participants completed detailed diet questionnaires, which asked how often they consumed chocolate.
Beginning in 2006 and 2007, depending on the group, the researchers tweaked (调整) the questionnaires to ask how often participants ate dark chocolate and milk chocolate. They followed the participants’ health for up to 34 years. During that time, nearly 19,000 participants developed Type 2 diabetes.
After adjusting for other aspects of their lifestyles, such as exercise, alcohol consumption, as well as their age and family history of diabetes, the researchers found that people who consumed at least five servings of any type of chocolate per week had a 10 percent lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared with those who rarely or never ate chocolate.
But when they drilled down into the data from the nearly 112,000 people who provided details on the types of chocolate they consumed, the researchers found an even more striking result: Those who consumed at least five servings of dark chocolate per week had a 21 percent lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes than those who consumed dark chocolate less than once per month.
12. Which statement would Dr. Sun agree with?
A. Dark chocolate alone can not prevent diabetes.
B. Dark chocolate can be eaten in large quantities.
C. Chocolate is likely to directly prevent Type 2 diabetes.
D. Milk chocolate and dark one have equal health benefits.
13. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. By tracking people with a family history of diabetes.
B. By observing participants’ chocolate-eating habits.
C. By performing experiments and making comparisons.
D. By conducting surveys and making adjustments.
14. In which section of a newspaper might you read this article?
A. Diet & Culture. B. Health & Science.
C. Food & Lifestyle. D. Sports & Exercise.
15. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Dark Chocolate: A New Cure for Diabetes
B. Dark Chocolate: A Promising Healthy Diet
C. Could Dark Chocolate Reduce Your Risk of Diabetes?
D. What’s the Link Between Dark Chocolate and Health?
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新研究发现吃黑巧克力与降低患2型糖尿病风险有关,并介绍了相关研究过程。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“And dark chocolate should not be considered a “magic bullet” for preventing diabetes, said Dr. Sun, a professor of nutrition from Harvard. (哈佛大学营养学教授Sun博士说,黑巧克力不应被视为预防糖尿病的“灵丹妙药”。)”可知,Sun博士认为黑巧克力不能单独预防糖尿病。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Every four years, the more than 190,000 participants completed detailed diet questionnaires, which asked how often they consumed chocolate. (每四年,超过19万名参与者完成详细的饮食问卷,问卷询问他们吃巧克力的频率。)”以及倒数第二段“After adjusting for other aspects of their lifestyles, such as exercise, alcohol consumption, as well as their age and family history of diabetes, the researchers found that people who consumed at least five servings of any type of chocolate per week had a 10 percent lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared with those who rarely or never ate chocolate. (在调整了生活方式的其他方面,如运动、饮酒,以及年龄和糖尿病家族史后,研究人员发现,与很少或从不吃巧克力的人相比,每周至少吃五份任何类型巧克力的人患2型糖尿病的风险降低了10%。)”可知,研究人员是通过进行调查和调整来开展这项研究的。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“If you’ve long assumed that you must rid yourself of delicious foods to be healthy, a new study offers encouraging news: Eating dark chocolate has been associated with a reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. (如果你一直认为为了健康必须戒掉美味的食物,一项新的研究带来了令人鼓舞的消息:吃黑巧克力与降低患2型糖尿病的风险有关。)”可知,文章主要讲述了新研究发现吃黑巧克力与降低患2型糖尿病风险有关,并介绍了相关研究过程。文章可能选自报纸的“健康与科学”版面。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“If you’ve long assumed that you must rid yourself of delicious foods to be healthy, a new study offers encouraging news: Eating dark chocolate has been associated with a reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Smart Use of AI Tools
Dear fellow students,
With the rapid development of AI technologies, many of us are using such tools as ChatGPT or DeepSeek to search for answers to our schoolwork, which not only harms our learning but also affects our thinking.
Therefore, I advocate using AI wisely in our study. For example, we can use it to explain complex concepts, improve our drafts, or generate study questions when necessary. In a word, it should be used to promote learning rather than replacing it.

47. 阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For those students in city, the road to school might mean the convenience of their dad’s cars, where the heater keeps them comfortable and the radio plays music. But for Tom, who lived in a remote village, it meant a dangerous journey through strong winds and piles of snow.
It was a cold morning. The snow blanketed every rooftop and weighed on the branches of big trees. Tom woke up early with the howling wind outside his small cabin (小木屋). He put on lots of clothes, including his thickest wool socks and warmest coat. As he was about to go, there was a knock on the door. It’s his classmate Peter in the same village. “Hey, Tom,” Peter said. “Do you think we should go to school today?” “I know it’s tough,” Tom replied, looking at the heavy snow outside, “but missing school means we’ll fall behind.” Finally, they decided to go to school.
The snow had been falling for days, building up on the narrow path that led to school. Tom and Peter stepped out into the snowstorm, with boots sinking deep into the snow. Tom used his arms to push the snow away, and his heart was pounding as he worked hard. He fell down a few times, but each time he got up again. “I must go to school!” Tom said firmly. Thinking about the other kids in the village who insisted on going to school, he knew they were facing the same challenge. But they were all trying to learn and grow.
The wind had blown snow all over the path, making it hard to see where they were going. Not far away, Tom heard someone crying from behind a tree. “Peter, do you hear that?” Tom asked in a puzzled tone. “Let’s go and have a look.” Peter answered.

As they got closer, they spotted that it was their classmate, Sarah.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at the school gate.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As they got closer, they spotted that it was their classmate, Sarah. She huddled against a tree, struggling to keep warm, obviously injuring her ankle. Without hesitation, Tom helped her up cautiously. But the ground was so slippery that he stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Tom and Peter took turns to carry Sarah on their backs. Overwhelmed with heartfelt gratitude, she couldn’t utter a word. Exhausted as they were, they didn’t stop. The snow grew heavier, but with friends by their sides, all of them felt something warm inside.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the school gate. The snow glistened in the light as they walked into the warm classroom, where their classmates and teacher were waiting for them anxiously. The teacher gave them a thumbs up and Sarah said, “I couldn’t thank you enough.” Touched deeply, the class burst into thunderous applause with smiles and cheers. The snowflakes were still swirling but the cozy atmosphere filled the classroom. It suddenly dawned on Tom that despite all the challenges, a small act of kindness is like a warm breeze blowing into everyone’s heart, which melted the ice and made a difference.
