B Auntie Ngeam is one of a third generation of indigo craftswomen (靛蓝工匠) in a family from the Phuan, a people known for their handmade textiles (纺织品). A large Phuan community settled in Phrae in northern Thailand in the late 19th century and brought their indigo craftsmanship with them. Auntie Ngeam took over a small business from her parents more than 30 years ago and has played a key role in updating Thailand’s indigo clothing over the past decade. “Every shop on the street had plain blue shirts, so I started thinking about how I could stand out,” she says. “I tried using indigo to tie-dye (扎染) modern clothes.” Now in Thai markets across the country, the indigo tie-dyed clothes have become a phenomenon. Auntie Ngeam also works together with the local government to promote the local indigo industry via tie-dye workshops among tourists. For the past six years, the town has hosted the Phrae Craft festival, showing small, independent indigo craftsmen’s work. The festival is run by Nanthanit Boyd, a former student of Auntie Ngeam’s. Today, Boyd is pushing the boundaries of indigo textile fashion, bringing designs to the world stage. With the increasing acceptance of indigo craftsmanship among young people, intergenerational indigo businesses have become ubiquitous in Phrae. Banmatjai Indigo Workshop is one of such growing businesses, which was opened by the women of the Suchanok family 10 years ago, when the eldest daughter Chidchanok Suchanok returned home after graduation. “I wondered why my generation wasn’t appreciating indigo,” Chidchanok says. “It’s our heritage and a local resource.” Phrae has been reborn as a craft center, bringing more jobs to the locals and attracting both domestic and international travelers. “The creativity is already here; all we need to do is make it shine brighter so people can see it,” says Boyd. 4. What can we learn about Auntie Ngeam? A. She enjoys touring all over the country. B. She is the founder of her family business. C. She pioneers the indigo tie-dyed clothes. D. She is in charge of the Phrae Craft festival. 5. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Private. B. Widespread. C. Challenging. D. Conservative. 6. What can be inferred about the indigo industry from Boyd’s words? A. It unites the local communities. B. It guarantees the locals a richer life. C. It deserves to be further promoted. D. It appeals to the younger generation. 7. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Rapid Development of Phrae’s Tourism B. Exploration of the History of Indigo Industry C. Revolutionary Progress: the Tomorrow of Phrae D. From Tradition to Trend: Phrae’s Indigo Industry C On a clear sunny day on the Georgia coast, ecotour guide Rene Heidt leads her guests on her boat through a narrow waterway. Unbroken grasses reach overhead, and there’s no building, power line, or cell tower in sight. It’s a perfect location for visitors to view a nearby mudflat (泥滩), where roughly300,000 shorebirds, including the roseate spoonbill and the whimbrel, come to eat, rest, and nest every year. Heidt has had a 15-year career as an ecotour guide and much of what she shares on the tours comes from her experiences. But more recently, the University of Georgia’s Coastal Awareness and Responsible Ecotourism (CARE) certification (认证) program has been designed to support ecotour guides like Heidt, helping improve the information they share with tourists. The program offers up-to-date educational material and training to ecotour guides and provides certification that confirms their devotion to preserving the habitats. While providing knowledge about Georgia’s natural resources, the CARE program also discusses how to visit some sensitive areas responsibly. Now, when Heidt gives boating tours, she rows with a light touch, moving almost silently across the water. When she shares facts about wildlife with her guests, she doesn’t speak louder than whispers. Actually, it’s a skill Heidt must have perfected in her previous career. “The program changes the way I give tours. It helps me to be more mindful of a boat’s influence on the very thing we are trying to teach people about,” she recalled. Getting trained through the CARE program also benefits Heidt’s business. According to Heidt, the program allows her to learn more about this environment. And that’s knowledge she passes along to her guests. “It’s a fantastic coast,” she says. “And it’s important to share its beauty with others to help them realize that it is worth protecting.” 8. Why was the CARE program launched? A. To offer the latest tour news. B. To qualify and recognize ecotour guides. C. To give aid to local education. D. To share and publicize travel experience. 9. What may be the suggestion from the CARE program for visiting sensitive areas? A. Reasonably arrange travel routes. B. Save as much wildlife as possible. C. Leave as little impact as possible. D. Fully respect local cultural customs. 10. What is Heidt’s attitude towards the CARE program? A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Uncertain. D. Favorable. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Tending to Sensitive Coastal Areas B. Reaching out to Ecotourism Supporters C. Backing up Ecotourism in Georgia D. Initiating a CARE Certification Journey D In these days of electronic everything, you’d think that most businesses wouldn’t be using paper cheques (支票) any more. In fact, for most businesses, paper cheques are still a thing. As many as one in three business deals are paid this way and 81% of firms in the US are still using paper cheques to settle some of their bills. Stop the eye-rolling because yeah, we know electronic payments are quicker to make, authorize and complete, and they’re easier to track and report. They save paper and are good for the environment. They’re more secure, efficient and cost less. They can be made and approved from anywhere. A growing number of businesses not only prefer electronic payments, but are requiring customers to do this. Even Microsoft recently announced that it would no longer accept paper cheques from its partners. But still ... I’m going to miss the paper cheque. I’ve always enjoyed the circumstance of the biweekly cheque run and the grandest part is the final approval evidenced by the ultimate proof of authority: the signature. Some of my clients take delight in the opportunity to examine and sign every cheque because there’s no better example of power than this. Paper cheques are not only a written form of contracts favored by firms throughout history but also a form of marketing where companies can proudly display their logos. They are clear evidence of stability and reliability. Unfortunately, the writing is on the wall for the paper cheque. And that makes me sad. According to the Small Business Administration, the majority of small business owners are over the age of 50. We grew up with Swanson TV Dinners, hockey without helmets (头盔) and appointed smoking sections in airplanes. We’ll retire and younger generations will bury us along with our chequebooks. We know this will unavoidably change. For now, many businesses in the US are still relying on paper cheques to pay. Yes, they’re inefficient and costlier. But please be patient. Allow me to have this one little enjoyment while it lasts. 12. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1? A Doing business is increasingly difficult. B. Everything is going electronic in the US. C. Paper cheques are still in use in business. D. Most American firms fail to pay the bills. 13. What does Microsoft’s decision indicate? A. The growing trend of shifting to electronic payments. B. The change in forms of cooperation in big companies. C. The potential comeback of paper cheques in the market. D. The popularity of electronic payments among customers. 14. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Defend his preference. B. Introduce a new concept. C. Call for readers’ support. D. Promote an old tradition. 15. Why does the author mention Swanson TV Dinners and hockey without helmets? A. To emphasize the outdated nature of past trends. B. To show his attachment to old-school practices. C. To stress his resistance to technological changes. D. To suggest the reliability of traditional methods. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共7.5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。 Cheerleading, a sport about organized cheering and dancing in support of a sports team, is one of Americaˈs oldest, but often undervalued sports. Many now connect the sport with energetic high school teams or professional teams on the sidelines. ____16____ There have been significant changes over time. Now widely seen as a female-led activity, cheerleading was led by males at first. In 1869, during the first American football match between Princeton University and Rutgers University, Princeton students celebrated their victory by yelling “Boom! Ah!” repeatedly. ____17____ By comparison, another story places its beginning at a game between Princeton University and the University of Minnesota on November 2, 1898. A medical student named Johnny Campbell took a loudspeaker, brought thousands of fans together, and led an organized series of cheers. ____18____ These yell leaders not only lifted fansˈ spirits, but also helped manage the crowds. By 1903, one of the first official all-male clubs was established. In 1923, the University of Minnesota admitted women into its cheering team, although men continued to control the sidelines for many years. As world wars broke out, large numbers of men entered the military. ____19____ They introduced new things such as acrobatics (杂技) and the now-characteristic pom-poms (绒球). Over the next decade, the organization of teams grew rapidly. In 1948, the National Cheerleaders Association was established and later national cheerleading teams also appeared. ____20____ Encouragingly, the International Olympic Committee finally confirmed it as a sport in 2021, paving the way for eventual Olympic participation. Today, cheerleading attracts over three million participants across the United States and continues to develop as both a sport and a cultural activity. A. But this image is not how it all began. B. Thus, the sport was forgotten for short periods. C. Therefore women took up the unfilled positions. D. Many historians mark this event as the sportˈs birth. E. This change, however, was a turning point for the sport. F. Inspired by this, more US leader groups were soon formed. G. Despite these, cheerleading was officially unrecognized for long. 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration.

One day in early December, she called, saying she was putting together some people to sing inspiring holiday songs to some unfortunate families and chat with them on New Year’s Day to cheer them up. Jane invited my husband and me to join them. Although I hadn’t sung in any choir (合唱团) for years, I always enjoyed singing. I was confident with proper songbooks, much rehearsal (排练) time, a good director, and a guitar, we would be great. I told Jane we’d be happy to join her choir. But as she described her plan, my enthusiasm reduced. Jane felt one rehearsal would be enough, and since nobody in the group played the guitar, our voices would be enough. She didn’t know what we’d be singing, but she’d come up with something. I had always admired her free spirit, but I doubted her plan, already regretting my quick decision and worrying. Then, what was worse, Jane called one afternoon, saying our rehearsal would have to be canceled because two members got sick, and provided a list of simple songs for us to practice singing at home. Noticing my concern, she told me what mattered was that we were there and that everything would be fine. At home, my husband and I busily decorated our house for our holiday and sometimes set aside some time for our song practice. Before long, the choir’s singing date arrived. That day, Jane, together with five of us, drove toward our first destination. We would be visiting an old couple who lived alone. The wife had been receiving cancer treatments. I had no idea whether our performance would help make their day. Soon, we walked through the snow and reached a small, simple house. 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。 An old man who looked worried opened the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the cheerful conversation, we began to sing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 襄阳四中2024级高二年级上学期期中考试英语试卷 一、听力：本大题共20小题，共30分。 1.

But more recently, the University of Georgia’s Coastal Awareness and Responsible Ecotourism (CARE) certification (认证) program has been designed to support ecotour guides like Heidt, helping improve the information they share with tourists. The program offers up-to-date educational material and training to ecotour guides and provides certification that confirms their devotion to preserving the habitats. While providing knowledge about Georgia’s natural resources, the CARE program also discusses how to visit some sensitive areas responsibly. Now, when Heidt gives boating tours, she rows with a light touch, moving almost silently across the water. When she shares facts about wildlife with her guests, she doesn’t speak louder than whispers. Actually, it’s a skill Heidt must have perfected in her previous career. “The program changes the way I give tours. It helps me to be more mindful of a boat’s influence on the very thing we are trying to teach people about,” she recalled. Getting trained through the CARE program also benefits Heidt’s business. According to Heidt, the program allows her to learn more about this environment. And that’s knowledge she passes along to her guests. “It’s a fantastic coast,” she says. “And it’s important to share its beauty with others to help them realize that it is worth protecting.” 8. Why was the CARE program launched? A. To offer the latest tour news. B. To qualify and recognize ecotour guides. C. To give aid to local education. D. To share and publicize travel experience. 9. What may be the suggestion from the CARE program for visiting sensitive areas? A. Reasonably arrange travel routes. B. Save as much wildlife as possible. C. Leave as little impact as possible. D. Fully respect local cultural customs. 10. What is Heidt’s attitude towards the CARE program? A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Uncertain. D. Favorable. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Tending to Sensitive Coastal Areas B. Reaching out to Ecotourism Supporters C. Backing up Ecotourism in Georgia D. Initiating a CARE Certification Journey 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11.

The program offers up-to-date educational material and training to ecotour guides and provides certification that confirms their devotion to preserving the habitats. (但最近，University of Georgia的CARE认证项目旨在支持像Heidt这样的生态导游，帮助他们改善与游客分享的信息。该计划为生态导游提供最新的教育材料和培训，并提供认证，以确认他们对保护栖息地的贡献。)”可知，本文主要讲的是生态旅游导游Rene Heidt通过University of Georgia的CARE认证项目提升专业素养，以及如何以更负责任的方式带领游客体验Georgia海岸的自然美景，同时强调保护这些生态环境的重要性，因此最好的题目是C选项“Backing up Ecotourism in Georgia (支持Georgia州的生态旅游)”。故选C。 D In these days of electronic everything, you’d think that most businesses wouldn’t be using paper cheques (支票) any more. In fact, for most businesses, paper cheques are still a thing. As many as one in three business deals are paid this way and 81% of firms in the US are still using paper cheques to settle some of their bills. Stop the eye-rolling because yeah, we know electronic payments are quicker to make, authorize and complete, and they’re easier to track and report. They save paper and are good for the environment. They’re more secure, efficient and cost less. They can be made and approved from anywhere. A growing number of businesses not only prefer electronic payments, but are requiring customers to do this. Even Microsoft recently announced that it would no longer accept paper cheques from its partners. But still ... I’m going to miss the paper cheque. I’ve always enjoyed the circumstance of the biweekly cheque run and the grandest part is the final approval evidenced by the ultimate proof of authority: the signature. Some of my clients take delight in the opportunity to examine and sign every cheque because there’s no better example of power than this. Paper cheques are not only a written form of contracts favored by firms throughout history but also a form of marketing where companies can proudly display their logos. They are clear evidence of stability and reliability. Unfortunately, the writing is on the wall for the paper cheque. And that makes me sad. According to the Small Business Administration, the majority of small business owners are over the age of 50. We grew up with Swanson TV Dinners, hockey without helmets (头盔) and appointed smoking sections in airplanes. We’ll retire and younger generations will bury us along with our chequebooks. We know this will unavoidably change. For now, many businesses in the US are still relying on paper cheques to pay. Yes, they’re inefficient and costlier. But please be patient. Allow me to have this one little enjoyment while it lasts. 12. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1? A. Doing business is increasingly difficult. B. Everything is going electronic in the US. C. Paper cheques are still in use in business. D. Most American firms fail to pay the bills. 13. What does Microsoft’s decision indicate? A. The growing trend of shifting to electronic payments. B. The change in forms of cooperation in big companies. C. The potential comeback of paper cheques in the market. D. The popularity of electronic payments among customers. 14. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Defend his preference. B. Introduce a new concept. C. Call for readers’ support. D. Promote an old tradition. 15. Why does the author mention Swanson TV Dinners and hockey without helmets? A. To emphasize the outdated nature of past trends. B. To show his attachment to old-school practices. C. To stress his resistance to technological changes. D. To suggest the reliability of traditional methods. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了尽管电子支付日益普及，纸质支票在美国企业中仍然广泛使用，作者表达了对纸质支票的怀念之情。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In fact, for most businesses, paper cheques are still a thing. As many as one in three business deals are paid this way and 81% of firms in the US are still using paper cheques to settle some of their bills. (事实上，对于大多数企业来说，纸质支票仍然是一种支付方式。多达三分之一的商业交易是通过这种方式支付的，美国81%的企业仍然使用纸质支票来结算部分账单)”可知，作者在第一段描述了纸质支票在商业中仍然被使用。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A growing number of businesses not only prefer electronic payments, but are requiring customers to do this. Even Microsoft recently announced that it would no longer accept paper cheques from its partners. (越来越多的企业不仅更喜欢电子支付，而且要求客户也这样做。甚至微软最近也宣布将不再接受其合作伙伴的纸质支票)”可知，微软的决定表明了转向电子支付的趋势正在增长。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But still ... I’m going to miss the paper cheque. I’ve always enjoyed the circumstance of the biweekly cheque run and the grandest part is the final approval evidenced by the ultimate proof of authority: the signature. Some of my clients take delight in the opportunity to examine and sign every cheque because there’s no better example of power than this. Paper cheques are not only a written form of contracts favored by firms throughout history but also a form of marketing where companies can proudly display their logos. They are clear evidence of stability and reliability.(但尽管如此……我还是会怀念纸质支票。我一直享受每两周一次的支票处理过程，最令人难忘的部分是最终批准，这由最高权威的证明——签名来体现。我的一些客户乐于有机会检查和签署每一张支票，因为没有什么比这更能象征权力了。纸质支票不仅是历史上企业青睐的书面合同形式，也是一种营销手段，公司可以在支票上自豪地展示他们的标志。它们是稳定性和可靠性的明确证据)”可知，作者表达了对纸质支票的喜爱，还提到一些客户喜欢检查和签署每张支票，因为这象征着权力。此外，作者认为纸质支票不仅是历史上的书面合同形式，也是公司展示品牌的一种方式，由此推知，作者在第三段中打算为他对纸质支票的偏爱辩护。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Unfortunately, the writing is on the wall for the paper cheque. And that makes me sad. According to the Small Business Administration, the majority of small business owners are over the age of 50. We grew up with Swanson TV Dinners, hockey without helmets (头盔) and appointed smoking sections in airplanes.(不幸的是，纸质支票的命运已经注定。这让我感到难过。根据小企业管理局的数据，大多数小型企业的老板年龄超过50岁。我们这一代人是在斯旺森电视晚餐、没有头盔的曲棍球和飞机上的指定吸烟区中长大的)”可知，这些物品代表了过去的生活方式，而作者借此表达了他对纸质支票这种传统做法的怀念。因此，作者提到这些物品的目的是“展示他对老式做法的依恋”。故选B。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共7.5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。 Cheerleading, a sport about organized cheering and dancing in support of a sports team, is one of Americaˈs oldest, but often undervalued sports. Many now connect the sport with energetic high school teams or professional teams on the sidelines. ____16____ There have been significant changes over time.

Ah!” repeatedly. ____17____ By comparison, another story places its beginning at a game between Princeton University and the University of Minnesota on November 2, 1898. A medical student named Johnny Campbell took a loudspeaker, brought thousands of fans together, and led an organized series of cheers. ____18____ These yell leaders not only lifted fansˈ spirits, but also helped manage the crowds. By 1903, one of the first official all-male clubs was established. In 1923, the University of Minnesota admitted women into its cheering team, although men continued to control the sidelines for many years. As world wars broke out, large numbers of men entered the military. ____19____ They introduced new things such as acrobatics (杂技) and the now-characteristic pom-poms (绒球). Over the next decade, the organization of teams grew rapidly. In 1948, the National Cheerleaders Association was established and later national cheerleading teams also appeared. ____20____ Encouragingly, the International Olympic Committee finally confirmed it as a sport in 2021, paving the way for eventual Olympic participation. Today, cheerleading attracts over three million participants across the United States and continues to develop as both a sport and a cultural activity. A. But this image is not how it all began. B. Thus, the sport was forgotten for short periods. C. Therefore, women took up the unfilled positions. D. Many historians mark this event as the sportˈs birth. E.

This part can completely broaden our views by exposing us to diverse wisdom from various perspectives. For instance, students are expected to interpret and share insightful sayings with their peers, helping us better understand the English language and its cultural context, which in turn sharpens our language skills. Specifically, by interpreting the motivational saying like “Where there is a will, there is a way”, students can be inspired to adopt a more positive mindset in both studies and daily lives. I firmly believe “Introduce an inspiring saying” will make our English class more vibrant and profound. Thank you for considering my suggestion! Yours sincerely, Li Hua Possible version 2: Dear Steven, Hearing the idea of adding a new part before our English class, I am writing to convey my preference for incorporating the “Share an unforgettable experience” part into our pre-class English activity. Firstly, this activity provides a brilliant platform for us to practice and hone our English-speaking skills. When sharing our experiences, we need to organize our thoughts and express them in English, which definitely enhances our fluency and speaking skills. Secondly, these emotional narratives can bridge the gap between classmates, enabling us to develop a deeper bond. Students can share unforgettable experiences like the sports meet and drama show. By listening to such stories, we can gain insights into different perspectives, thus fostering a sense of unity. I’m confident that this part will bring more fun to the pre-class English activity.

One day in early December, she called, saying she was putting together some people to sing inspiring holiday songs to some unfortunate families and chat with them on New Year’s Day to cheer them up. Jane invited my husband and me to join them. Although I hadn’t sung in any choir (合唱团) for years, I always enjoyed singing. I was confident with proper songbooks, much rehearsal (排练) time, a good director, and a guitar, we would be great. I told Jane we’d be happy to join her choir. But as she described her plan, my enthusiasm reduced. Jane felt one rehearsal would be enough, and since nobody in the group played the guitar, our voices would be enough. She didn’t know what we’d be singing, but she’d come up with something. I had always admired her free spirit, but I doubted her plan, already regretting my quick decision and worrying. Then, what was worse, Jane called one afternoon, saying our rehearsal would have to be canceled because two members got sick, and provided a list of simple songs for us to practice singing at home. Noticing my concern, she told me what mattered was that we were there and that everything would be fine. At home, my husband and I busily decorated our house for our holiday and sometimes set aside some time for our song practice. Before long, the choir’s singing date arrived. That day, Jane, together with five of us, drove toward our first destination. We would be visiting an old couple who lived alone. The wife had been receiving cancer treatments. I had no idea whether our performance would help make their day. Soon, we walked through the snow and reached a small, simple house. 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。 An old man who looked worried opened the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the cheerful conversation, we began to sing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: An old man who looked worried opened the door. He seemed a bit surprised to see a group of people at his doorstep on such a cold winter day. We introduced ourselves and explained the purpose of our visit. He hesitated for a moment but then welcomed us in with a warm smile, gesturing for us to come inside. In the living room, a woman who looked pale greeted us, the table before her littered with medicine. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity, unsure how to connect with the couple. To my relief, Jane cheerfully started the conversation, guiding it towards light-hearted and enjoyable topics. Finally, all talked, including the couple, whose faces gradually lit up. After the cheerful conversation, we began to sing. As we sang our simple songs, the wife’s eyes sparkled with tears of joy, and the husband’s uneasy expression softened into a gentle grin. We didn’t have a guitar to accompany us, and our voices weren’t perfect, but the sincerity in our songs filled the room with a sense of comfort. After our performance, the couple thanked us with tears in their eyes, expressing how our visit had made their day. It was then that my worries totally melted away and I realized they didn’t need a grand performance. The simple act of chatting, singing, and being present was enough to uplift their spirits. Joyfully, we said goodbye and drove to our next destination. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的朋友简邀请作者和丈夫去慈善机构唱歌，虽然中间出现很多阻碍，但是作者和丈夫还是去完成了活动，让老人们的精神得到振奋。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一位看起来忧心忡忡的老人开了门”可知，第一段可描写作者和丈夫前往访问老人，期间他们的相处过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“愉快的谈话之后，我们开始唱歌”可知，第二段可描写作者和丈夫完成演出，振奋了老人的精神。 2.续写线索：老人开门——老人惊讶——说明目的——简开始谈话——开始唱歌——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①指导：guide/instruct ②开始：start/begin ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①不安：uneasy/restless ②高兴地：joyfully/gladly 【点睛】[高分句型1] He hesitated for a moment but then welcomed us in with a warm smile, gesturing for us to come inside.
