I’ve written at length about how playful writing exercises gave me my career (as an internationally bestselling and award-winning novelist published in over thirty languages) Given how necessary this practice has been to my successes — I know it’s worth it to make time to play.
There are a lot of reasons why, but the most important one is also the hardest to explain, because it has to do with the mystery of creativity itself. Where do ideas come from or, having come, how do they grow? What is imagination, and how do we level up, get to the good stuff deep within ourselves? How do we get to that place beyond worry and plot and analysis, where story lives and breathes and characters come to life and language blooms and sparks?
Me, I don’t get there easily. I’ve always struggled with perfectionism. For years, “writing” for me meant polishing sentences to a high gloss while daydreaming about the books I would one day write. There was a huge disconnect between my fantasy future career and my actual habits and practice. But eventually the absurdity of that disconnect became so glaring that I had to either get past it or give up the dream, and that’s when I started developing strategies to actually write not just high-gloss sentences, but stories, even novels.
I got there by going around my perfectionism, and the best way I know to do that is: yeah, playful writing exercises. They allow me to fall into a much deeper well of creativity, even sometimes into that mysterious place where it feels like it’s not coming “from” me but “through” me. It honestly feels like magic.
To make a long explanation short: A practice of playful, non-goal-oriented writing exercise can loosen you up and even train your brain to access a flow state, with huge benefits that are necessary both for your spirit and your work.
24. Why does the author ask the questions in Paragraph 2?
A. To turn to readers for answers. B. To criticize traditional writing.
C. To stress the complexity of creativity. D. To show off his talents and achievements.
25. What problem did the author face in the early writing practice?
A. Focusing too much on perfecting sentences. B. Lack of creative ideas and writing skills.
C. Feeling confused about the future career. D. Pressure from international publishers.
26. How does the author describe the feeling of accessing deep creativity?
A. A magical outcome. B. A well-designed plan.
C. A tough experience. D. An easy practice process.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Writing for best-sellers B. Creating Successful Novels
C. Perfectionism in Writing D. Unlocking Creativity through Play
C
When Eugenie George heard that her friend passed a financial counseling exam, at first her heart sank. She had failed the same test weeks earlier, and she needed the qualification to advance her career. “My inner child got upset,” recalled Ms. George, a financial writer and educator from Philadelphia. But then, instead of stewing, she called her friend. “I told her I failed and admitted I was jealous,” she said. Ms. George knew that being upfront would calm her envy, and she was surprised, when it shifted her attitude she could share her friend’s happiness, and experience her own, in turn.“I congratulated her and told her she inspired me.”
Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude, a term(inspired by the German word for joy)that describes the happiness we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it doesn’t directly involve us. “Freudenfreude is like social glue,” said Catherine, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College. “It makes relationships closer and more enjoyable.”
Erika Weiz, an empathy researcher and postdoctoral fellow in psychology at Harvard University, said the feeling closely resembles positive empathy— the ability to experience someone else’s positive emotions. A small 2024 study examined positive empathy’s role in daily life and found that it stimulates kind acts, like helping others. Sharing in someone else’s joy can also foster resilience (韧性), improve life satisfaction and help people cooperate during a conflict.
However, freudenfreude doesn’t always come easily. In zero- sum situations, your loss might really sting, making freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self- worth, Dr. Catherine said, you might misread someone else’s victory as a personal shortcoming. And factors like mental health and overall well- being can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. Still, freudenfreude is worthwhile— and there are ways to encourage the feeling.
28. What does the underlined phrase “being upfront” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Hiding one’s true feelings. B. Honestly expressing one’s emotions.
C. Always escaping from reality. D. Offering practical advice immediately.
29. Which of the following belongs to freudenfreude?
A. You felt upset that your best friend lost a match.
B You felt happy that you defeated your opponent.
C. You felt delighted that your classmate got a prize.
D. You felt glad that you helped those weaker than you.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The benefits of freudenfreude. B. The reasons for freudenfreude.
C. The definition of freudenfreude. D. The factors affecting freudenfreude.
31. What might the author continue talking about?
A. The importance of sharing others’ success.
B. The way to seek more happiness in our life.
C. The harm that freudenfreude may bring to us.
D. The tips on how to experience freudenfreude.
D
A new study gives all of us some extra motivation when it comes to getting outside and exercising: every day you manage to fit in an additional one-hour walk, you could be boosting your lifespan by an extra six hours. That’s the approximate benefit if you’ re currently in the 25 percent least active people in the US, according to fitness tracker data analyzed by a team led by researchers from Griffith University in Australia.
If you’ re in the top 25 percent, an extra walk isn’t as much of a boost—you’ve already received most of the health benefits from exercise— but the study also highlights and quantifies some of the key benefits of an active life.“If all individuals were as active as the top 25 percent of the population, Americans over the age of 40 could live an extra 5.3 years on average,” write the researchers in their published paper. “It can be any type of exercise to reach that top quartile (四分位数) but would roughly be the equivalent of just about three hours of walking per day.”
The team analyzed wearable activity data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) in the US, which recruits 5,000 volunteers a year. To calculate how changes in activity levels can influence mortality (死亡) risk, researchers referenced the NHANES results against a life-table model (where mortality rates are tracked at specific age points) and previous research into exercise and lifespan. In this particular study, data on 824 participants were excluded because they didn’t wear the trackers for long enough.
Suggesting that exercise leads to a longer life is nothing new, but quantifying and simplifying the benefits can grab attention— whether it’s five minutes a day to reduce blood pressure or nine seconds a week to grow muscle. Now there’s a new target to aim for: an extra hour’s walk a day. If you find that too discouraging a prospect, remember that any amount of exercise makes a difference to health and well- being.
32. What does the new study find?
A. Walking can cure some diseases effectively.
B. Perhaps daily walking can extend our lifespan.
C. Increasing exercise mostly benefits active people.
D. The less active people must exercise an hour a day.
33. How much daily walking is roughly needed to reach the top 25% active group?
A. Nine seconds. B. One hour. C. Three hours. D. Five hours.
34. What is the function of Paragraph 3?
A. Giving the examples. B. Analyzing the data.
C. Predicting the effect. D. Explaining the method.
35. Why does the author mention “nine seconds a week to grow muscle” in the last paragraph?
A. To compare three different types of exercise.
B. To emphasize the flexibility in setting exercise goals.
C. To demonstrate the precision of modern exercise research.
D. To highlight the advantage of walking over strength training.

I almost lost him
I love writing in my diary. It’s how I get all the thoughts and worries out of my head and make sense of them. There are so many extra memories in the pages of this one — if I turn back to last September, I’ll never forget that day. That week. It was the worst of my life.
Stormy — a sheepdog — has always been a part of our family. I remember when I was old enough I learned to play with him. He seemed like to be my brother. Next to my diary, he’s always been the person I tell everything to. And I got into the habit of taking my books up to the paddock (牧场) to study, leaning on the shelter and watching Stormy herd the sheep.
It was a sunny, cool evening. I was just closing my books when my eye was drawn to Stormy. He was standing in the far corner of the paddock, where the flies are the worst, and looking at his belly (肚子). Something was different about him, but I couldn’t work out what. I walked down the field towards him and he wandered off up the hill. Maybe it had just been the flies? But the nagging (让人不安的) feeling I’d had earlier just wouldn’t go away. After dinner I asked Mum for a ham sausage from the fridge and went back up the field.
He was pawing at the ground and didn’t even seem to notice me approach. I noticed straight away that he looked quite sweaty, even in the cool evening breeze, and he completely ignored the sausage when I offered it to him. My heart sank — I knew right then that something was really wrong. Mum still says she’s never heard me shout as loud as I did then. All I remember is the sound of the gate opening and her rushing through, closely followed by Dad.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Maybe I’d over-reacted?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over the next week, Stormy had to stay in the recovery room of the hospital.

I’ve written at length about how playful writing exercises gave me my career (as an internationally bestselling and award-winning novelist published in over thirty languages) Given how necessary this practice has been to my successes — I know it’s worth it to make time to play.
There are a lot of reasons why, but the most important one is also the hardest to explain, because it has to do with the mystery of creativity itself. Where do ideas come from or, having come, how do they grow? What is imagination, and how do we level up, get to the good stuff deep within ourselves? How do we get to that place beyond worry and plot and analysis, where story lives and breathes and characters come to life and language blooms and sparks?
Me, I don’t get there easily. I’ve always struggled with perfectionism. For years, “writing” for me meant polishing sentences to a high gloss while daydreaming about the books I would one day write. There was a huge disconnect between my fantasy future career and my actual habits and practice. But eventually the absurdity of that disconnect became so glaring that I had to either get past it or give up the dream, and that’s when I started developing strategies to actually write not just high-gloss sentences, but stories, even novels.
I got there by going around my perfectionism, and the best way I know to do that is: yeah, playful writing exercises. They allow me to fall into a much deeper well of creativity, even sometimes into that mysterious place where it feels like it’s not coming “from” me but “through” me. It honestly feels like magic.
To make a long explanation short: A practice of playful, non-goal-oriented writing exercise can loosen you up and even train your brain to access a flow state, with huge benefits that are necessary both for your spirit and your work.
24. Why does the author ask the questions in Paragraph 2?
A. To turn to readers for answers. B. To criticize traditional writing.
C. To stress the complexity of creativity. D. To show off his talents and achievements.
25. What problem did the author face in the early writing practice?
A. Focusing too much on perfecting sentences. B. Lack of creative ideas and writing skills.
C. Feeling confused about the future career. D. Pressure from international publishers.
26. How does the author describe the feeling of accessing deep creativity?
A. A magical outcome. B. A well-designed plan.
C. A tough experience. D. An easy practice process.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Writing for best-sellers B. Creating Successful Novels
C. Perfectionism in Writing D. Unlocking Creativity through Play
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作者分享如何通过趣味写作练习克服完美主义,进入深度创意状态,从而提升写作灵感和作品质量。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“There are a lot of reasons why, but the most important one is also the hardest to explain, because it has to do with the mystery of creativity itself. Where do ideas come from or, having come, how do they grow? What is imagination, and how do we level up, get to the good stuff deep within ourselves? How do we get to that place beyond worry and plot and analysis, where story lives and breathes and characters come to life and language blooms and sparks?(造成这种情况的原因有很多,但其中最重要的原因也是最难解释的,因为它与创造力本身的神秘性有关。创意是从哪里产生的呢?一旦产生了,它们又是如何发展的呢?想象力究竟是什么?我们又该如何提升自己,触及内心深处的美好呢?我们如何才能到达那种超越忧虑、规划和分析的境界呢?在那里,故事得以存在和呼吸,角色变得鲜活起来,语言也得以绽放和迸发活力?)”可知,第二段作者提出一系列关于创意来源和想象力本质的抽象问题,如“Where do ideas come from?”,旨在强调创造力的神秘性和复杂性,故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I’ve always struggled with perfectionism. For years, “writing” for me meant polishing sentences to a high gloss while daydreaming about the books I would one day write. (我一直在与完美主义作斗争。多年来,“写作”对我来说意味着把句子修饰得光彩照人,同时幻想着有一天我要写的书)”可知,作者在早期的写作实践中过于注重句子的完美性。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“It honestly feels like magic.(这真的让人感觉像是魔法一般)”可知,作者将获得深度创造力时的那种感觉描述为一个神奇的结果。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“I got there by going around my perfectionism, and the best way I know to do that is: yeah, playful writing exercises.(我克服了自己的完美主义障碍,而我认为最有效的办法就是:进行一些有趣的写作练习)”结合文章主要讲述了作者分享如何通过趣味写作练习克服完美主义,进入深度创意状态,从而提升写作灵感和作品质量可知,D选项“通过玩乐激发创造力”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
When Eugenie George heard that her friend passed a financial counseling exam, at first her heart sank. She had failed the same test weeks earlier, and she needed the qualification to advance her career. “My inner child got upset,” recalled Ms. George, a financial writer and educator from Philadelphia. But then, instead of stewing, she called her friend. “I told her I failed and admitted I was jealous,” she said. Ms. George knew that being upfront would calm her envy, and she was surprised, when it shifted her attitude she could share her friend’s happiness, and experience her own, in turn.“I congratulated her and told her she inspired me.”
Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude, a term(inspired by the German word for joy)that describes the happiness we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it doesn’t directly involve us. “Freudenfreude is like social glue,” said Catherine, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College. “It makes relationships closer and more enjoyable.”
Erika Weiz, an empathy researcher and postdoctoral fellow in psychology at Harvard University, said the feeling closely resembles positive empathy— the ability to experience someone else’s positive emotions. A small 2024 study examined positive empathy’s role in daily life and found that it stimulates kind acts, like helping others. Sharing in someone else’s joy can also foster resilience (韧性), improve life satisfaction and help people cooperate during a conflict.
However, freudenfreude doesn’t always come easily. In zero- sum situations, your loss might really sting, making freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self- worth, Dr. Catherine said, you might misread someone else’s victory as a personal shortcoming. And factors like mental health and overall well- being can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. Still, freudenfreude is worthwhile— and there are ways to encourage the feeling.
28. What does the underlined phrase “being upfront” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Hiding one’s true feelings. B. Honestly expressing one’s emotions.
C. Always escaping from reality. D. Offering practical advice immediately.
29. Which of the following belongs to freudenfreude?
A. You felt upset that your best friend lost a match.
B. You felt happy that you defeated your opponent.
C. You felt delighted that your classmate got a prize.
D. You felt glad that you helped those weaker than you.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The benefits of freudenfreude. B. The reasons for freudenfreude.
C. The definition of freudenfreude. D. The factors affecting freudenfreude.
31. What might the author continue talking about?
A. The importance of sharing others’ success.
B. The way to seek more happiness in our life.
C. The harm that freudenfreude may bring to us.
D. The tips on how to experience freudenfreude.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了“乐他人之幸”这一概念,即当他人成功时,我们也能感受到快乐。心理学家指出这种情感能够增进人际关系,受竞争心态等因素影响可能难以产生,但是值得培养。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“I told her I failed and admitted I was jealous,” she said. Ms. George knew that being upfront would calm her envy(我告诉她我失败了,我承认我很嫉妒,”她说。George女士知道……会平息她的嫉妒心)可知,此处指的是Ms. George直接告诉朋友自己失败了,并且承认自己很嫉妒他人,因此此处表示Ms. George是直截了当地告诉朋友自己嫉妒”,即“坦诚地表达自己的情绪”。B选项“Honestly expressing one’s emotions. (坦诚地表达自己的情感)”与划线词意思相近。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude(从别人的好运中找到快乐,社会科学家称之为“freudenfreude”)”可知,从别人的好运中找到快乐即为“乐他人之幸”。C选项“You felt delighted that your classmate got a prize.(你很高兴你的同学得奖了)”符合题意。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的内容,特别是最后一句“Sharing in someone else’s joy can also foster resilience (韧性), improve life satisfaction and help people cooperate during a conflict.(分享别人的快乐也能培养韧性,提高生活满意度,帮助人们在冲突中合作)”可知,本段主要讲述的是“乐他人之幸”的好处。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Still, freudenfreude is worthwhile— and there are ways to encourage the feeling.(不过,“乐他人之幸”是值得的——有方法可以鼓励这种感觉)”可知,“乐他人之幸”是有方法可以鼓励的,由此推断文章接下来可能会讲述如何体验“乐他人之幸”的具体方法而展开。D项“The tips on how to experience freudenfreude.(关于如何体验“乐他人之幸”的建议)”符合题意。故选D项。
D
A new study gives all of us some extra motivation when it comes to getting outside and exercising: every day you manage to fit in an additional one-hour walk, you could be boosting your lifespan by an extra six hours. That’s the approximate benefit if you’ re currently in the 25 percent least active people in the US, according to fitness tracker data analyzed by a team led by researchers from Griffith University in Australia.
If you’ re in the top 25 percent, an extra walk isn’t as much of a boost—you’ve already received most of the health benefits from exercise— but the study also highlights and quantifies some of the key benefits of an active life.“If all individuals were as active as the top 25 percent of the population, Americans over the age of 40 could live an extra 5.3 years on average,” write the researchers in their published paper. “It can be any type of exercise to reach that top quartile (四分位数) but would roughly be the equivalent of just about three hours of walking per day.”
The team analyzed wearable activity data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) in the US, which recruits 5,000 volunteers a year. To calculate how changes in activity levels can influence mortality (死亡) risk, researchers referenced the NHANES results against a life-table model (where mortality rates are tracked at specific age points) and previous research into exercise and lifespan. In this particular study, data on 824 participants were excluded because they didn’t wear the trackers for long enough.
Suggesting that exercise leads to a longer life is nothing new, but quantifying and simplifying the benefits can grab attention— whether it’s five minutes a day to reduce blood pressure or nine seconds a week to grow muscle. Now there’s a new target to aim for: an extra hour’s walk a day. If you find that too discouraging a prospect, remember that any amount of exercise makes a difference to health and well- being.
32. What does the new study find?
A. Walking can cure some diseases effectively.
B. Perhaps daily walking can extend our lifespan.
C. Increasing exercise mostly benefits active people.
D. The less active people must exercise an hour a day.
33. How much daily walking is roughly needed to reach the top 25% active group?
A. Nine seconds. B. One hour. C. Three hours. D. Five hours.
34. What is the function of Paragraph 3?
A. Giving the examples. B. Analyzing the data.
C. Predicting the effect. D. Explaining the method.
35. Why does the author mention “nine seconds a week to grow muscle” in the last paragraph?
A. To compare three different types of exercise.
B. To emphasize the flexibility in setting exercise goals.
C. To demonstrate the precision of modern exercise research.
D. To highlight the advantage of walking over strength training.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究发现,每天额外散步一小时可能会延长寿命。这一结论基于对美国国家健康和营养调查数据的分析。

细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“‘It can be any type of exercise to reach that top quartile (四分位数) but would roughly be the equivalent of just about three hours of walking per day.’(要达到最活跃的四分之一人群的水平,可以是任何类型的锻炼,但大致相当于每天散步三小时。)”可知,为了达到最活跃的25%人群的水平,每天大概需要散步三小时。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“The team analyzed wearable activity data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) in the US, which recruits 5,000 volunteers a year. To calculate how changes in activity levels can influence mortality (死亡) risk, researchers referenced the NHANES results against a life-table model (where mortality rates are tracked at specific age points) and previous research into exercise and lifespan.(该研究团队分析了来自美国国家健康和营养调查(NHANES)的可穿戴设备活动数据,该调查每年招募5000名志愿者。为了计算活动水平的变化如何影响死亡风险,研究人员将NHANES的结果与生命表模型(在特定年龄点追踪死亡率)以及之前关于运动和寿命的研究进行了对照。)”可知,第三段详细解释了研究团队是如何进行研究的,包括数据来源、研究方法和参考的模型等。因此,第三段的作用是解释研究方法。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的关键信息“Suggesting that exercise leads to a longer life is nothing new, but quantifying and simplifying the benefits can grab attention— whether it’s five minutes a day to reduce blood pressure or nine seconds a week to grow muscle. Now there’s a new target to aim for: an extra hour’s walk a day. If you find that too discouraging a prospect, remember that any amount of exercise makes a difference to health and well-being.”(虽然运动能延长寿命的说法并不新鲜,但量化和简化这些益处能引起人们的注意——无论是每天五分钟降血压,还是每周九秒增肌。现在有了新的目标:每天额外散步一小时。如果你觉得这个目标太令人沮丧,那就记住,任何运动量都对健康有益。)可知,作者提到“每周九秒增肌”是为了强调设定锻炼目标的灵活性,即使每天不能达到额外的散步一小时,任何运动量都是有价值的。因此,选项B“To emphasize the flexibility in setting exercise goals.(为了强调设定锻炼目标的灵活性)”符合题意。故选B。

I started my Ph. D. studying species on a remote oceanic island, where I would be spending most of the next 3 years through rainforest to count vertebrates (无脊椎动物). Everyone attached to my project was over 5,000 kilometers away — and so were my friends, family, and entire support network. But I was confident in myself. ____36____
Despite my enthusiasm for my research and confidence in living there, loneliness soon set in. At times, I even couldn’t find the motivation to get into the field. ____37____ I hesitated to reach out to the locals, fearing socializing would distract me from my work or that the locals might not welcome an “outsider”. But I eventually realized that I had to.
____38____ One afternoon, after a long day in the field, I dropped in for a beer. Immediately, someone asked how long I had been working at the power station. I was confused, but then I realized I was wearing a work shirt bearing the company logo. We both had a laugh after I explained who I was and what I was doing.____39____ I ended up having that same introductory chat with many people over the next few weeks. Soon, each visit to the pub involved catching up with friends and talking about my research, which helped keep me motivated about my work.
Connecting with the community helped with more than just my emotional well-being. When I needed help to build fences for my experiments, a new friend gladly assisted. ____40____ I don’t think I would have done it without him.
Since finishing my Ph. D., I have moved twice for research positions. And each time I found myself in new communities, I remembered how reaching out to the local community during my Ph. D. helped me.
A. My final step was to give gifts.
B. We got them up with much less trouble.
C. I was suffering from a sense of isolation.

I almost lost him
I love writing in my diary. It’s how I get all the thoughts and worries out of my head and make sense of them. There are so many extra memories in the pages of this one — if I turn back to last September, I’ll never forget that day. That week. It was the worst of my life.
Stormy — a sheepdog — has always been a part of our family. I remember when I was old enough I learned to play with him. He seemed like to be my brother. Next to my diary, he’s always been the person I tell everything to. And I got into the habit of taking my books up to the paddock (牧场) to study, leaning on the shelter and watching Stormy herd the sheep.
It was a sunny, cool evening. I was just closing my books when my eye was drawn to Stormy. He was standing in the far corner of the paddock, where the flies are the worst, and looking at his belly (肚子). Something was different about him, but I couldn’t work out what. I walked down the field towards him and he wandered off up the hill. Maybe it had just been the flies? But the nagging (让人不安的) feeling I’d had earlier just wouldn’t go away. After dinner I asked Mum for a ham sausage from the fridge and went back up the field.
He was pawing at the ground and didn’t even seem to notice me approach. I noticed straight away that he looked quite sweaty, even in the cool evening breeze, and he completely ignored the sausage when I offered it to him. My heart sank — I knew right then that something was really wrong. Mum still says she’s never heard me shout as loud as I did then. All I remember is the sound of the gate opening and her rushing through, closely followed by Dad.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Maybe I’d over-reacted?

Over the next week, Stormy had to stay in the recovery room of the hospital.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
Maybe I’d over-reacted? Maybe Stormy was just tired? But as my parents examined Stormy their faces turned serious. Dad gently pressed Stormy’s belly. “It’s a little serious,” Dad muttered, exchanging a worried glance with Mum. Without hesitation, they lifted Stormy into the car and sped to the vet. My hands trembled as I clutched my diary in the backseat, praying silently. The vet confirmed our fears — Stormy had a twisted stomach, a life-threatening condition. Tears streamed down my face as they rushed him into surgery. The waiting felt endless, each tick of the clock echoing my fear. Mum held my hand, trying to assure me that everything would be alright. After what seemed a century, the vet came smiling at us and explained that Stormy’s surgery had been complicated, but successful.
Over the next week, Stormy had to stay in the recovery room of the hospital. Every day after school, I would rush to the hospital, sit by his side, and read gently from my diary, hoping to comfort him. His tail wagged weakly when he heard my voice, though his eyes still looked tired. The vet said his progress was remarkable, thanks to our quick action. Back home, I rearranged my study spot closer to Stormy, keeping him nearby as he regained strength. Five months later, we could begin walking him in hand. And today? Well, I’m writing in my diary, sitting in my usual spot leaning against the field shelter, watching Stormy herd the sheep. My diary pages hold not just worry, but also gratitude: Stormy is still with me, healthy and happy, as a family member.
