A small accident led to profound changes in the life of Yang Li, an artisan (手艺人), who is from the Miao ethnic group. In 201l, Yang, from Tongren city in Guizhou province, created leaf vein (脉络) embroidery (刺绣) three months after a leaf cut her hand.
The work is a perfect combination of traditional embroidery patterns and the natural textures (纹理) of the leaves. It has a unique aesthetic appeal of traditional embroidery matched with the characteristics of contemporary craftsmanship.
As a native Miao woman with an inborn love of embroidery, Yang opened a folk culture products shop with her sister in 2011. “People are becoming less familiar with traditional handicrafts, and I want to contribute all I can to change this situation,” Yang says. At first, the small shop did not earn a significant income as there were many similar products on the market. She gradually realized that it was important to establish her own brand and launch products with distinct features.
That’s when she was inspired by the cut. In July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand on a thorny leaf when she was hiking in Fanjing Mountain. A bold idea came into her head: “There are leaf-vein bookmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nobody created leaf-vein embroider yet?”
Obviously, the reason behind this is that embroidering on leaves requires delicate skills that few possess. The biggest technical challenge Yang faced was improving the flexibility of the leaves and making them as soft as cloth. On Oct 16, a day she will never forget, Yang finally created a shiny, thin and unbreakable piece of leaf vein. Her idea of leaf-vein embroidery came to completion after hundreds of experiments.
Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women and people with disabilities. “I will keep doing the leaf vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful,” she says.
24. What do we know about Yang Li’s folk culture products shop?
A. It was inspired by a cut by a leaf in her hand.
B. It was a failure before she began to sell similar products.
C. It was intended to preserve traditional Chinese handicrafts.
D. It perfectly combined traditional Chinese books and drawings.
25. What is Yang Li’s difficulty in making her leaf-vein embroidery?
A. Finding cloth with vein-like texture.
B. Creating a new embroidery pattern.
C. Changing leaves into unbreakable cloth.
D. Softening up leaves for better flexibility.
26. Which of the following best describes Yang Li?
A. Ambitious and innovative. B. Caring and patient.
C. Persistent and demanding. D. Humorous and optimistic.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. An embroidery skill. B. A promising career.
C. A cultural shop. D. An admirable artisan.

We all want to give our kids the best possible advice, but when it comes to what path they should explore after education and what career possibilities are out there, where should we start?
“For parents, the most important thing is to keep options open and to understand that equipping them with life skills are important,” says secondary school teacher David Earl.
Your kid will probably have some idea of the terms “growth” and “fixed mindset”. Simply put, the central idea of the growth mindset (思维模式) is that intelligence (智力) and ability can be developed, and children who have this idea will try to seek opportunities to push themselves, understanding that they are likely to achieve what they want if they persevere. This challenges a fixed mindset, the idea that a child’s ability is limited and set in advance.
Help your kid prepare for closed doors tough interviews, rejection letters by encouraging them to embrace them and understand that none of them is failure. Remind them of things they’ve overcome, suggesting they view every negative experience as a chance to learn and grow, rather than an end point.
Employers lay stress on all kinds of life skills, including problem-solving, leadership and creative thinking. So getting your children to think about those skills is helpful. Barclays LifeSkills has listed skills important for individuals in their future careers — communicating through videos and audio, rather than writing, and working with people from different generations and backgrounds.
Good grades and passing examinations may seem like the most important thing to your kid right now, but try to encourage them to also think of longer-term goals. By thinking of a long-term goal, you may be able to find areas they need to improve.
Thinking about the future can be challenging, but it’s important that your kid understands that the next step is just that one small step. It doesn’t have to be anything as huge as what career to pursue or which course to take. This is a team effort: Ask teachers, friends, or turn to experts for tips.
28. What does the growth mindset stress?
A. A child’s ability can be improved. B. Success comes only from good grades.
C. One’s intelligence stays unchanged. D. Children should avoid challenges to succeed.
29. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 4?
A. Ignore. B. Measure. C. Perform. D. Accept.
30. Which of the following might the writer agree with?
A. Children should consider long-term goals instead of good grades.
B. It’s parents’ responsibility to choose their children’ future careers.
C. It’s a life skill to get along with people from different backgrounds.
D. Children should be independent of their parents as early as possible.
31. Who is the above passage mainly intended for?
A. Children. B. Parents. C. Employers. D. Teachers.
D
Enthusiastic travelers may have already heard of “regenerative tourism” along with the idea of sustainability(持续性). Whenever we travel—no matter where or how—we are leaving an impact on the environment and the world surrounding us. While sustainable tourism takes positive steps toward limiting that footprint in order for us to protect environments for future generations, regenerative tourism takes this idea one step further.
Regenerative tourism means “the idea that tourists should leave a place in better condition than it was before”. For example, when visiting a garden, each person plants a tree to further build the environment instead of leaving no trace(痕迹).
In a way, regenerative tourism involves travelers to be active in their acts of sustainability. Another great example of this is any act of clean-up. This is especially popular on major beaches and in parks where there’s always rubbish to pick up and waste to remove. While travelers certainly don’t need to join in a community clean-up while on vacation (unless they want to), the idea of being involved is very much the same.
Joining in regenerative tourism has personal and environmental benefits. Jeffrey Skibins, an associate professor in entertainment and park management, says, “Many tourists report feelings of deep personal satisfaction and a stronger connection to nature. Additionally, conservation (保护) behaviors enable tourists to develop life-long learning around these issues and continue these behaviors at home.”
Regenerative means “to renew and revive” which is exactly what many travelers are doing to help environments recover. Depending on where one plans to travel, there might be more ways to help than originally realized. By further encouraging damaged environments to be renewed through travel rather than being negatively impacted, we can slowly help to rebuild the world’s most beautiful landscapes.
32. What is the aim of regenerative tourism?
A. To further improve the environment. B. To limit the footprint of human beings.
C. To keep a place in its original condition. D. To dramatically promote global economy.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Designing a bright future for our life. B. Taking part in a community clean-up.
C. Renewing our ideas about environments. D. Getting active in the acts of sustainability.
34. What does Jeffrey Skibins think of regenerative tourism?
A. It makes travelers closely connected. B. It gives personal satisfaction to travelers.
C. It leaves a short-term effect on tourists. D. It helps tourists improve their learning ability.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Regenerative tourism invites travelers to do their part
B. Travelling patterns make a difference to the environment
C. Conservation behavior enjoys its popularity among households
D. The idea of sustainability takes root in all enthusiastic travelers
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Brain breaks are short, physical activities that, when placed in periods of study, can help improve students’ attention, efficiency, enjoyment and creativity. ____36____ You can just do a set of jumping jacks (伸展跳跃) or high knees before going back to schoolwork — at home or at school.
In the classroom, teachers might use brain breaks from a kids’ fitness program like GoNoodle or HOPSports. These short physical activities, which are often set in cheerful music, encourage kids to move around and reset their brains so that they can better concentrate on their studies. ____37____ Periodic bursts of exercise can reduce stress and school-related frustration (沮丧), clearing the way back to learning.
At home, you can use brain breaks in much the same way as teachers do. If your child is struggling with homework, whether this is because of trying to understand challenging material or simply staying on a task, have them do one or two of these activities. They’re a simple way to fight frustration and boredom while improving focus. ____38____
Research shows that shorter breaks are more effective for many kids, with younger kids maxing out (达到最高极限) after about 10 minutes and older kids lasting up to a half-hour or more. ____39____ So choose activity break timing according to your child’s specific needs, attention span, and learning style. And create a reliable schedule with timed activities that won’t take up too much time meant for study.
____40____ Make it clear to your kid how long the brain breaks and schoolwork will last. This system gives your child structure (周密安排) and can make study and doing activities more fun and exciting.
A. Tell your child in advance.
B. These breaks can be very simple.
C. But the right balance will differ between kids.
D. Plus, they can help meet your child’s daily need for physical activities.
E. For some kids, it’s easy to become addicted and try to avoid returning to their task.
F. School-based brain break programs often use videos to set the scene for students.
G. Besides the physical advantages, brain breaks are good for kids’ mental health.

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。
A couple of months before I became a high school senior, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite.
I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us. I saw a road stretching out like a ribbon.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service.
The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back.
I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed.
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings.

【原文】Hi, everyone! My name’s Lily. I’m talking to you today because I want to encourage you to take up swimming. It’s a great sport. It isn’t expensive to do and it keeps you healthy. I learned to swim when I was about five. When I started primary school at seven, I joined a swimming club with good facilities, and I went swimming twice a week. I had a lovely coach called Anna. She encouraged me to enter competitions, and I did quite well. Nearly every Saturday we went to other towns to have competitions. That was fun and I won quite a lot of awards. At the age of 11, I moved to another club to accept advanced training. I had a new coach Mike, who was once an Olympic winner! He wanted me to receive training every day after school for an hour. My parents didn’t agree because I needed to spare some time for my school work. But they let me go three times a week. I love swimming and I would really introduce it to everyone.

A small accident led to profound changes in the life of Yang Li, an artisan (手艺人), who is from the Miao ethnic group. In 201l, Yang, from Tongren city in Guizhou province, created leaf vein (脉络) embroidery (刺绣) three months after a leaf cut her hand.
The work is a perfect combination of traditional embroidery patterns and the natural textures (纹理) of the leaves. It has a unique aesthetic appeal of traditional embroidery matched with the characteristics of contemporary craftsmanship.
As a native Miao woman with an inborn love of embroidery, Yang opened a folk culture products shop with her sister in 2011. “People are becoming less familiar with traditional handicrafts, and I want to contribute all I can to change this situation,” Yang says. At first, the small shop did not earn a significant income as there were many similar products on the market. She gradually realized that it was important to establish her own brand and launch products with distinct features.
That’s when she was inspired by the cut. In July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand on a thorny leaf when she was hiking in Fanjing Mountain. A bold idea came into her head: “There are leaf-vein bookmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nobody created leaf-vein embroider yet?”
Obviously, the reason behind this is that embroidering on leaves requires delicate skills that few possess. The biggest technical challenge Yang faced was improving the flexibility of the leaves and making them as soft as cloth. On Oct 16, a day she will never forget, Yang finally created a shiny, thin and unbreakable piece of leaf vein. Her idea of leaf-vein embroidery came to completion after hundreds of experiments.
Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women and people with disabilities. “I will keep doing the leaf vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful,” she says.
24. What do we know about Yang Li’s folk culture products shop?
A. It was inspired by a cut by a leaf in her hand.
B. It was a failure before she began to sell similar products.
C. It was intended to preserve traditional Chinese handicrafts.
D. It perfectly combined traditional Chinese books and drawings.
25. What is Yang Li’s difficulty in making her leaf-vein embroidery?
A. Finding cloth with vein-like texture.
B. Creating a new embroidery pattern.
C. Changing leaves into unbreakable cloth.
D. Softening up leaves for better flexibility.
26. Which of the following best describes Yang Li?
A. Ambitious and innovative. B. Caring and patient.
C. Persistent and demanding. D. Humorous and optimistic.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. An embroidery skill. B. A promising career.
C. A cultural shop. D. An admirable artisan.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. D
【解析】

【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“In 2011, Yang, from Tongren city in Guizhou province, created leaf vein (脉络) embroidery (刺绣) three months after a leaf cut her hand.(2011年,来自贵州铜仁市的杨女士在一片树叶割伤了手三个月后创作了叶脉刺绣)”可知,文章主要介绍了一位苗族绣娘杨丽,因手指被树叶划破而创作出“叶脉绣”的故事,她致力于发展刺绣产业,帮助传承民族传统技艺。故D项“一位令人敬佩的手艺人”能够总结文章大意。故选D。

We all want to give our kids the best possible advice, but when it comes to what path they should explore after education and what career possibilities are out there, where should we start?
“For parents, the most important thing is to keep options open and to understand that equipping them with life skills are important,” says secondary school teacher David Earl.
Your kid will probably have some idea of the terms “growth” and “fixed mindset”. Simply put, the central idea of the growth mindset (思维模式) is that intelligence (智力) and ability can be developed, and children who have this idea will try to seek opportunities to push themselves, understanding that they are likely to achieve what they want if they persevere. This challenges a fixed mindset, the idea that a child’s ability is limited and set in advance.
Help your kid prepare for closed doors, tough interviews, rejection letters by encouraging them to embrace them and understand that none of them is failure. Remind them of things they’ve overcome, suggesting they view every negative experience as a chance to learn and grow, rather than an end point.
Employers lay stress on all kinds of life skills, including problem-solving, leadership and creative thinking. So getting your children to think about those skills is helpful. Barclays LifeSkills has listed skills important for individuals in their future careers — communicating through videos and audio, rather than writing, and working with people from different generations and backgrounds.
Good grades and passing examinations may seem like the most important thing to your kid right now, but try to encourage them to also think of longer-term goals. By thinking of a long-term goal, you may be able to find areas they need to improve.
Thinking about the future can be challenging, but it’s important that your kid understands that the next step is just that one small step. It doesn’t have to be anything as huge as what career to pursue or which course to take. This is a team effort: Ask teachers, friends, or turn to experts for tips.
28. What does the growth mindset stress?
A. A child’s ability can be improved. B. Success comes only from good grades.
C. One’s intelligence stays unchanged. D. Children should avoid challenges to succeed.
29. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 4?
A. Ignore. B. Measure. C. Perform. D. Accept.
30. Which of the following might the writer agree with?
A. Children should consider long-term goals instead of good grades.
B. It’s parents’ responsibility to choose their children’ future careers.
C. It’s a life skill to get along with people from different backgrounds.
D. Children should be independent of their parents as early as possible.
31. Who is the above passage mainly intended for?
A. Children. B. Parents. C. Employers. D. Teachers.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了父母应如何帮助孩子培养成长心态,面对未来的挑战,以及重视生活技能,鼓励孩子思考长期目标。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Simply put, the central idea of the growth mindset (思维模式) is that intelligence (智力) and ability can be developed, and children who have this idea will try to seek opportunities to push themselves, understanding that they are likely to achieve what they want if they persevere.(简而言之,成长心态的核心思想是智力和能力是可以培养的,有这种想法的孩子会努力寻找机会来推动自己,他们明白如果他们坚持不懈,就有可能实现他们的目标)”可知,成长心态强调的是孩子的能力是可以提高的。故选A项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词embrace后代词“them”指代上文中的“closed doors, tough interviews, rejection letters (闭门羹、艰难的面试和拒绝信)”,结合下文“understand that none of them is failure”和“suggesting they view every negative experience as a chance to learn and grow, rather than an end point.(建议他们把每一次负面的经历都看作是一个学习和成长的机会,而不是终点)”可知,文中提出要让孩子们正确看待“闭门羹、艰难的面试和拒绝信”之类的负面经历,不要把它们看作是失败,要看作是一次成长的机会,即要接受负面经历。故画线词embrace意思应accept相近,意为“接受”。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Barclays LifeSkills has listed skills important for individuals in their future careers — communicating through videos and audio, rather than writing, and working with people from different generations and backgrounds.(巴克莱生活技能列出了个人未来职业生涯中重要的技能——通过视频和音频进行交流,而不是写作,以及与来自不同年代和背景的人合作)”可知,作者会赞同与来自不同背景的人相处是一种生活技能。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“We all want to give our kids the best possible advice, but when it comes to what path they should explore after education and what career possibilities are out there, where should we start?(我们都想给孩子最好的建议,但当涉及到他们受教育后应该探索什么道路,以及有什么职业可能性时,我们应该从哪里开始呢?)”以及第二段中“For parents, the most important thing is to keep options open and to understand that equipping them with life skills are important(对父母来说,最重要的是保持选择的开放性,并理解为他们配备生活技能很重要)”可推知,这篇文章主要是为父母写的。故选B项。
D
Enthusiastic travelers may have already heard of “regenerative tourism” along with the idea of sustainability(持续性). Whenever we travel—no matter where or how—we are leaving an impact on the environment and the world surrounding us. While sustainable tourism takes positive steps toward limiting that footprint in order for us to protect environments for future generations, regenerative tourism takes this idea one step further.
Regenerative tourism means “the idea that tourists should leave a place in better condition than it was before”. For example, when visiting a garden, each person plants a tree to further build the environment instead of leaving no trace(痕迹).
In a way, regenerative tourism involves travelers to be active in their acts of sustainability. Another great example of this is any act of clean-up. This is especially popular on major beaches and in parks where there’s always rubbish to pick up and waste to remove. While travelers certainly don’t need to join in a community clean-up while on vacation (unless they want to), the idea of being involved is very much the same.
Joining in regenerative tourism has personal and environmental benefits. Jeffrey Skibins, an associate professor in entertainment and park management, says, “Many tourists report feelings of deep personal satisfaction and a stronger connection to nature. Additionally, conservation (保护) behaviors enable tourists to develop life-long learning around these issues and continue these behaviors at home.”
Regenerative means “to renew and revive”, which is exactly what many travelers are doing to help environments recover. Depending on where one plans to travel, there might be more ways to help than originally realized. By further encouraging damaged environments to be renewed through travel rather than being negatively impacted, we can slowly help to rebuild the world’s most beautiful landscapes.
32. What is the aim of regenerative tourism?
A. To further improve the environment. B. To limit the footprint of human beings.
C. To keep a place in its original condition. D. To dramatically promote global economy.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Designing a bright future for our life. B. Taking part in a community clean-up.
C. Renewing our ideas about environments. D. Getting active in the acts of sustainability.
34. What does Jeffrey Skibins think of regenerative tourism?
A It makes travelers closely connected. B. It gives personal satisfaction to travelers.
C. It leaves a short-term effect on tourists. D. It helps tourists improve their learning ability.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Regenerative tourism invites travelers to do their part
B. Travelling patterns make a difference to the environment
C. Conservation behavior enjoys its popularity among households
D. The idea of sustainability takes root in all enthusiastic travelers
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了一种新的旅游形式——再生旅游。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“While sustainable tourism takes positive steps toward limiting that footprint in order for us to protect environments for future generations, regenerative tourism takes this idea one step further.(虽然可持续旅游采取了积极措施来限制这种足迹,以便我们为子孙后代保护环境,但再生旅游将这一想法更进一步)”可知,再生旅游的目的是为了进一步改善环境。故选A项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“In a way, regenerative tourism involves travelers to be active in their acts of sustainability. Another great example of this is any act of clean-up. This is especially popular on major beaches and in parks where there’s always rubbish to pick up and waste to remove.(在某种程度上,再生旅游要求旅行者积极参与他们的可持续发展行为。另一个很好的例子是任何清理行为。这在主要的海滩和公园里尤其受欢迎,因为那里总是有垃圾要捡,有垃圾要清除)”可知,文章第三段表明应积极参与可持续发展的行动。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段Jeffrey Skibins所说“Many tourists report feelings of deep personal satisfaction and a stronger connection to nature. Additionally, conservation behaviors enable tourists to develop life-long learning around these issues and continue these behaviors at home.(许多游客表示,他们感到深深的个人满足感,与大自然的联系更紧密了。此外,保护行为使游客能够围绕这些问题进行终身学习,并在家中继续这些行为)”可知,Jeffrey Skibins认为再生旅游给旅行者带来了个人的满足。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章全文内容尤其是第三段“In a way, regenerative tourism involves travelers to be active in their acts of sustainability.(在某种程度上,再生旅游要求旅行者积极参与他们的可持续发展行为)”及第五段“Regenerative means “to renew and revive”, which is exactly what many travelers are doing to help environments recover.(再生的意思是“更新和恢复”,这正是许多旅行者为帮助环境恢复所做的事情)”可知,本文介绍了什么是“再生旅游”及“再生旅游”中,游客应该如何去做,A选项“Regenerative tourism invites travelers to do their part(再生旅游邀请游客尽自己的一份力量)”适合作为本文标题。故选A项。

If your child is struggling with homework, whether this is because of trying to understand challenging material or simply staying on a task, have them do one or two of these activities. They’re a simple way to fight frustration and boredom while improving focus. ____38____
Research shows that shorter breaks are more effective for many kids, with younger kids maxing out (达到最高极限) after about 10 minutes and older kids lasting up to a half-hour or more. ____39____ So choose activity break timing according to your child’s specific needs, attention span, and learning style. And create a reliable schedule with timed activities that won’t take up too much time meant for study.
____40____ Make it clear to your kid how long the brain breaks and schoolwork will last. This system gives your child structure (周密安排) and can make study and doing activities more fun and exciting.
A. Tell your child in advance.
B. These breaks can be very simple.

【38题详解】
该段主要围绕家庭中的大脑休息展开,设空处上文“At home, you can use brain breaks in much the same way as teachers do. If your child is struggling with homework, whether this is because of trying to understand challenging material or simply staying on a task, have them do one or two of these activities. They’re a simple way to fight frustration and boredom while improving focus.(在家里,你可以像老师一样使用大脑休息时间。如果你的孩子在家庭作业上遇到困难,无论是因为试图理解具有挑战性的材料,还是只是停留在一个任务上,让他们做一两个这样的活动。它们是一种对抗挫折和无聊的简单方法,同时也能提高注意力。)”提到“它们是一种对抗沮丧和无聊的简单方法,同时提高注意力”,这是家庭中的大脑休息的好处;D项“Plus, they can help meet your child’s daily need for physical activities.(此外,它们可以帮助满足你的孩子日常的体育活动需求。)其D中的your child’s与本段第二句中的your child呼应。故选D。

And create a reliable schedule with timed activities that won’t take up too much time meant for study. (因此,根据孩子的具体需要、注意力持续时间和学习方式来选择活动休息时间。制定一个可靠的时间表,安排好时间,不会占用太多的学习时间。)”说要根据孩子具体需求选择活动休息时间,C项“But the right balance will differ between kids.(但是,恰当的平衡会因孩子而异。)”承接上文,引起下文。differ between kids与下文中的according to your child’s specific needs...呼应。故选C。

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。
A couple of months before I became a high school senior, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite.
I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us. I saw a road stretching out like a ribbon.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service.
The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back.
I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed.

Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings.

The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time. My anger turned to peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite, I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me. The sight that met my startled eyes nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad.
The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn’t been listening. When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature.
