Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2025·浙江丽水联考)From a young age, I collected role models.In school, as a teenager, I tried to channel Whitney Houston.In the working world, I paid close attention to our female senior managers.By watching and imitating others—especially women of color who looked or sounded like me—I gained confidence in my own abilities.

But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller.Only 2.1% of risk investment goes to women­founded companies.“Who can I look up to？” I wondered.“Who can I learn from？” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see—women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co­founder of a skincare brand.I never thought I'd meet these women, but their success gave me hope.

Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger.I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me.I didn't have her email address.So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day!

That was in 2022.We've spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable.They're rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman.But here's the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn't the only one excited.Vicky was excited too—because she's always looking for ways to support other women.All my life, I'd thought of role models as a one­way relationship: I'd gain strength from someone stronger.But the situation is more than that.

I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company.She wrote me a thank­you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products.Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me.We're all here to help each other grow.
