A
The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest, quickest, toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit.
● Bah Humbug 10K, 1 December
Do yourself a favour and bring towels and plastic bags with you, because every bit of gear you wear during this event is likely to be caked with mud by the end. Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners.
racebest. com
● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December
Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies.
sueryder. org
● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December
This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find.

● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December
Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance.

Wang Zuxian, the 58-year-old Hong Kong actress who rose to fame across Asia for her role as “Xiao Qian” in the classic film A Chinese Ghost Story, has recently attracted the public in a whole new way. Now living in Vancouver, Canada, she has opened a moxibustion (艾灸) clinic that brings Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to an international audience. Since its opening this February, the clinic — offering acupuncture, cupping, and other traditional therapies — has attracted fans from near and far. Many come not only to experience TCM treatments but also to catch a glimpse of the timeless star behind the scenes.
Recently, TV host Christopher Downs (Xia Keli) visited the clinic and shared a video online, showing Wang personally examining him and arranging a full treatment session. Wearing a simple blue T-shirt, a green apron(围裙), and a mask that couldn’t hide her gentle eyes and professional manner, she carefully went through Downs’ health report. Her tone was calm and friendly, as if talking to an old friend. She then personally performed cupping and acupuncture. What moved him most was that Wang even remembered his TV shows in Taiwan. Their warm conversation erased any distance between celebrity and fan. “She has no airs at all,” Downs marveled. “She’s still that elegant Xiao Qian I remember.”
Though TCM is not mainstream in Western countries, Wang’s clinic has become a cultural bridge. In addition to providing acupuncture and cupping, she gives personalized health advice and shares wellness knowledge rooted in Chinese tradition. Appointments have been fully booked months in advance. Her clients include not only Chinese fans but also many local Canadians curious about TCM. Downs revealed that Wang studied TCM and obtained professional certification before opening the clinic. Netizens commented enthusiastically: “This isn’t a celebrity comeback — it’s cultural heritage in action.” Some hope she will expand her clinic to other countries, allowing TCM to reach more people; others express admiration, saying: “This is true cultural confidence — using her influence to let the world see Chinese wisdom.”

For a long time, scientists believed the beautiful songs of birds were purely a product of instinct (本能). Peter Marler, a pioneering British animal behaviorist, revolutionized this view through his research into how birds actually learn to sing, earning him the title “the father of birdsong.”
Marler’s fascination began in his youth, observing chaffinches (苍头燕雀) in the English countryside. He noticed slight but consistent differences in the songs of birds from different regions, much like human dialects. This curiosity defined his career. In the 1950s, he began carefully recording these songs. Using a crucial tool called a spectrogram, which visually represents sound, he was able to scientifically confirm that these regional variations, or “dialects,” were indeed real. His famous study of the white-crowned sparrow in California clearly showed distinct dialects between northern and southern populations.
The central question remained: were these dialects inherited or learned? To solve this, Marler designed a series of experiments that would later be regarded as models of clarity. He raised young birds in complete vocal isolation from adults. These isolated birds only produced simple, natural calls, proving that the full, complex song was not automatic. However, when he played recordings of adult songs to them during a critical learning period after hatching, they successfully learned and sang the complete tune. This was decisive evidence that birdsong is a culturally transmitted behavior.
Initially, his theory faced doubts from a scientific community that favored instinct-based explanations. The mainstream view still favored instinct, and some dismissed his work as an exception rather than a rule. Marler, however, quietly continued his careful studies. Gradually, his well-designed methods and undeniable evidence won over the community. By transforming lines of numbers into meaningful maps of sound and behavior, he gave the world new eyes to see what had always been hidden in plain hearing.
The impact of his work extended far beyond ornithology (鸟类学). It provided a powerful, simpler model for scientists studying the incredibly complex evolution of human language, suggesting our own speech may have roots in similar vocal learning processes.
8. What did Marler find while observing chaffinches?
A. Seasonal variations in dialects.
B. Regional differences in birdsong.
C. Slight changes in bird population.
D. Common features in bird species.
9. What do the underlined words “culturally transmitted” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Found in human language.
B. Spread within a single family.
C. Passed down through genes.
D. Learned from others in a community.
10. What can we infer about Marler?
A. His findings were soon accepted.
B. He truly respected others’ opinion.
C. He was a patient and careful scientist.
D. He was the first to study bird behavior.
11. Why was Marler’s theory significant?
A. It supported rare bird protection.
B. It proved the once-popular theory.
C. It made bird research more popular.
D. It promoted the study of human speech.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍“鸟类鸣叫之父”彼得・马(Peter Marler),其通过研究发现鸟类鸣叫存在地区差异且需学习,颠覆本能论,还为人类语言研究提供模型。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“He noticed slight but consistent differences in the songs of birds from different regions, much like human dialects. (他注意到来自不同地区的鸟类,其歌声存在细微但一致的差异,很像人类的方言。)”可知,马勒观察苍头燕雀时发现了鸟类歌声的地区差异。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“He raised young birds in complete vocal isolation from adults. These isolated birds only produced simple, natural calls, proving that the full, complex song was not automatic. However, when he played recordings of adult songs to them during a critical learning period after hatching, they successfully learned and sang the complete tune. (他让幼鸟在完全隔绝成鸟叫声的环境中成长。这些被隔离的幼鸟仅能发出简单的本能鸣叫,这表明完整复杂的鸣唱并非天生。但如果在幼鸟孵化后的关键学习期给它们播放成鸟的鸣唱录音,它们就能成功学会并唱出完整的曲调。)”可知,鸟类的复杂歌声是通过学习同类的声音获得的。因此“culturally transmitted”指“在群体中向他人学习并传递”。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In the 1950s, he began carefully recording these songs. Using a crucial tool called a spectrogram, which visually represents sound, he was able to scientifically confirm that these regional variations, or “dialects,” were indeed real.(20世纪50年代,他开始仔细录制这些鸣叫。借助一种名为声谱图的关键工具 —— 这种工具能将声音可视化呈现 —— 他得以用科学方法证实,这些区域性差异(即“方言”)确实存在。)”和第四段“Marler, however, quietly continued his careful studies. Gradually, his well-designed methods and undeniable evidence won over the community. (然而,马勒仍默默继续他严谨的研究。渐渐地,他设计精良的方法和无可辩驳的证据说服了科学界。)”可知,马勒是一位耐心且严谨的科学家。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It provided a powerful, simpler model for scientists studying the incredibly complex evolution of human language, suggesting our own speech may have roots in similar vocal learning processes. (它为研究人类语言极其复杂演化过程的科学家提供了一个有力且更简单的模型,表明我们人类的语言可能源于类似的声音学习过程。)”可知,马勒的理论意义在于推动了人类语言研究。故选D项。
D
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
12. What was the key for children to get a second treat in the Stanford test?
A. Selecting their favorite sugary snack.
B. Remaining alone in the room for 15 minutes.
C. Resisting the immediate desire to eat the first one.
D. Following the instructions given by the psychologist.
13. What does the author imply by “a version of the marshmallow test” for adults?
A. Adults are tested with digital devices instead of treats.
B. Adults face more complex temptations than children.
C. Adults must also delay contentment in the digital age.
D. Adults are assessed on the ability to share information.
14. According to the text, what is the root cause of people’s struggle against temptation?
A. The lack of self-discipline in our contemporary society.
B. The mismatch between our ancient brains and modern environment.
C. The overabundance of calorie-rich foods in the market.
D. The constant bombardment of new information from digital devices.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Marshmallow Test: Lessons for Modern Life
B. Delaying Satisfaction: A Key to Success
C. Why Our Brains Struggle in the Modern World
D. How to Manage Information Consumption
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章结合棉花糖实验,论述信息时代需理性控制信息消费的观点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat.(每个孩子都被告知,如果他们在吃糖果前等待15分钟,就会得到第二份糖果。)”可知,孩子们得到第二份糖果的关键在于抵抗住立刻吃掉第一份糖果的冲动。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.(作为成年人,我们每天都要面对棉花糖测试的一个版本。我们不会被甜食诱惑,而是会被我们的电脑、手机和平板电脑诱惑——所有这些设备都将我们与全球信息传递系统连接起来,这些信息对我们所起的作用就像棉花糖对学龄前儿童所起的作用一样。)”可知,作者暗示成人在数字时代也必须延迟满足感。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.(但是,随着我们重塑了周围的世界,大大降低了获取卡路里的成本和努力,我们仍然拥有几千年前相同的头脑,这种不匹配正是为什么我们很多人难以抗拒我们知道不应该吃的诱人食物的核心原因。)”可知,人们与诱惑作斗争的根本原因是我们古老的大脑与现代环境之间的不匹配。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“The Stanford marshmallow test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s.(斯坦福棉花糖实验最初由心理学家沃尔特・米歇尔于 20 世纪 60 年代末开展。)”和最后一段“A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.(我们对信息的反应也遵循着类似的逻辑。人类在成长关键期所处的环境信息匮乏,因此大脑进化出了珍视新信息的机制。但全球互联彻底改变了我们的信息环境,如今我们不断受到新信息的“轰炸”。因此,正如我们需要更理性地控制热量摄入一样,我们也需要更审慎地对待信息消费,抵制精神 “垃圾食品” 的诱惑,以最有效地管理时间。)”可知,文章首先介绍了斯坦福棉花糖测试,然后类比到成人面对信息诱惑的情况,指出我们也需要像对待热量摄入一样谨慎对待信息摄入,以有效管理时间。因此,A选项“The Marshmallow Test: Lessons for Modern Life(棉花糖测试:现代生活的启示)”最能概括文章主旨。故选A。

47. 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。
Last year, when I was walking down the sidewalk on my usual route, I noticed a baby squirrel (松鼠) . Just as soon as the tiny creature started exploring his surroundings, I saw him trying to eat a dead leaf. Obviously, he was hungry, so I told him, “Stay right here, and I’ll be RIGHT back.”
When I returned, the spot was completely empty—no squirrel in sight. But as I spread some sunflower seeds, the baby squirrel reappeared. More amazingly, after enjoying the seeds, he tried to get into my bag and nested in my scarf. “Is he expecting me to take him home? Where is his mother?” I thought.
After several hours of observation by the roadside, I confirmed that this baby squirrel was indeed alone, with no family members around. Finally, I took him home. I spent the next two days basically acting as his mother, helping him eat, drink, and sleep. Despite my best efforts, this baby squirrel still nearly choked to death on a bite of banana.
When I saw the poor squirrel barely clinging to life, my heart almost stopped. In a panic, I rushed to the nearest animal hospital. I was worried all the way, positioning him upside down as I’d seen in pet first-aid videos, but he still showed no reaction. As we arrived at the hospital, the vet (兽医) quickly cleared his throat with a professional thin tube. “Tiny patients crash fast! Fortunately, he is saved!” When I heard her words, my anxious heart finally settled.
After a short break, I felt it okay to take him home. As we walked out of the room, something suddenly caught my squirrel’s attention. Before I could react, he slipped from my scarf, with his eyes fixed on something across the room. There, in a cage, lay an injured adult squirrel. The vet told me that the adult squirrel had been hit by a car and was receiving treatment. Seeing my baby squirrel staring at the adult one carefully, I asked if they might be related. The vet thought it unlikely, but out of curiosity, we decided to find out.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;(2)请按如下格式作答。
I carefully placed the baby squirrel near the injured adult’s cage.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It warmed my heart to see my baby squirrel reunite with his mother!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I carefully placed the baby squirrel near the injured adult’s cage. The tiny creature let out a soft, high-pitched chirp immediately. To everyone’s surprise, the adult squirrel, who had been lying quietly with its eyes closed, suddenly lifted its head and fixed its gaze on the baby. It twitched its nose rapidly and responded with a low, gentle sound. The baby squirrel scrambled closer to the cage, pressing its tiny paws against the wire mesh. The vet and I exchanged astonished looks — this was no random reaction. A quick DNA test later confirmed our guess: they were mother and son.
It warmed my heart to see my baby squirrel reunite with his mother! I decided to leave the baby squirrel at the animal hospital so he could stay with his mother during her recovery. Every few days, I visited them with a bag of sunflower seeds, watching as the mother groomed her baby’s fur and the little one snuggled up to her side. A month later, the vet called to tell me the mother squirrel had fully recovered and that they could be released back into the wild. On the release day, I watched them dart into the trees together. As I waved goodbye, I knew I had given them the best gift — a second chance at being a family.

The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest, quickest, toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit.
● Bah Humbug 10K, 1 December
Do yourself a favour and bring towels and plastic bags with you, because every bit of gear you wear during this event is likely to be caked with mud by the end. Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners.
racebest. com
● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December
Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies.
sueryder. org
● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December
This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find.

● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December
Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance.

C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk

Wang Zuxian, the 58-year-old Hong Kong actress who rose to fame across Asia for her role as “Xiao Qian” in the classic film A Chinese Ghost Story, has recently attracted the public in a whole new way. Now living in Vancouver, Canada, she has opened a moxibustion (艾灸) clinic that brings Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to an international audience. Since its opening this February, the clinic — offering acupuncture, cupping, and other traditional therapies — has attracted fans from near and far. Many come not only to experience TCM treatments but also to catch a glimpse of the timeless star behind the scenes.
Recently, TV host Christopher Downs (Xia Keli) visited the clinic and shared a video online, showing Wang personally examining him and arranging a full treatment session. Wearing a simple blue T-shirt, a green apron(围裙), and a mask that couldn’t hide her gentle eyes and professional manner, she carefully went through Downs’ health report. Her tone was calm and friendly, as if talking to an old friend. She then personally performed cupping and acupuncture. What moved him most was that Wang even remembered his TV shows in Taiwan. Their warm conversation erased any distance between celebrity and fan. “She has no airs at all,” Downs marveled. “She’s still that elegant Xiao Qian I remember.”
Though TCM is not mainstream in Western countries, Wang’s clinic has become a cultural bridge. In addition to providing acupuncture and cupping, she gives personalized health advice and shares wellness knowledge rooted in Chinese tradition. Appointments have been fully booked months in advance. Her clients include not only Chinese fans but also many local Canadians curious about TCM. Downs revealed that Wang studied TCM and obtained professional certification before opening the clinic. Netizens commented enthusiastically: “This isn’t a celebrity comeback — it’s cultural heritage in action.” Some hope she will expand her clinic to other countries, allowing TCM to reach more people; others express admiration, saying: “This is true cultural confidence — using her influence to let the world see Chinese wisdom.”
4. Which one is a special reason for the clinic’s popularity?
A. It offers extra access to an actress.
B. It is located in a famous tourist area.
C. It shows the latest medical technology.
D. It provides professional health check-ups.
5. What touched Christopher Downs most during his visit to the clinic?
A. Wang promised to return to acting soon.
B. Wang had an impression of his TV shows.
C. Wang performed cupping and acupuncture well.
D. Wang brought TCM to an international audience.
6. Why are netizens’ comments mentioned in the last paragraph?

For a long time, scientists believed the beautiful songs of birds were purely a product of instinct (本能). Peter Marler, a pioneering British animal behaviorist, revolutionized this view through his research into how birds actually learn to sing, earning him the title “the father of birdsong.”
Marler’s fascination began in his youth, observing chaffinches (苍头燕雀) in the English countryside. He noticed slight but consistent differences in the songs of birds from different regions, much like human dialects. This curiosity defined his career. In the 1950s, he began carefully recording these songs. Using a crucial tool called a spectrogram, which visually represents sound, he was able to scientifically confirm that these regional variations, or “dialects,” were indeed real. His famous study of the white-crowned sparrow in California clearly showed distinct dialects between northern and southern populations.
The central question remained: were these dialects inherited or learned? To solve this, Marler designed a series of experiments that would later be regarded as models of clarity. He raised young birds in complete vocal isolation from adults. These isolated birds only produced simple, natural calls, proving that the full, complex song was not automatic. However, when he played recordings of adult songs to them during a critical learning period after hatching, they successfully learned and sang the complete tune. This was decisive evidence that birdsong is a culturally transmitted behavior.
Initially, his theory faced doubts from a scientific community that favored instinct-based explanations. The mainstream view still favored instinct, and some dismissed his work as an exception rather than a rule. Marler, however, quietly continued his careful studies. Gradually, his well-designed methods and undeniable evidence won over the community. By transforming lines of numbers into meaningful maps of sound and behavior, he gave the world new eyes to see what had always been hidden in plain hearing.
The impact of his work extended far beyond ornithology (鸟类学). It provided a powerful, simpler model for scientists studying the incredibly complex evolution of human language, suggesting our own speech may have roots in similar vocal learning processes.
8. What did Marler find while observing chaffinches?
A. Seasonal variations in dialects.
B. Regional differences in birdsong.
C. Slight changes in bird population.
D. Common features in bird species.
9. What do the underlined words “culturally transmitted” mean in paragraph 3?

10. What can we infer about Marler?
A. His findings were soon accepted.
B. He truly respected others’ opinion.
C. He was a patient and careful scientist.
D. He was the first to study bird behavior.
11. Why was Marler’s theory significant?
A. It supported rare bird protection.
B. It proved the once-popular theory.
C. It made bird research more popular.
D. It promoted the study of human speech.
D
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
12. What was the key for children to get a second treat in the Stanford test?
A. Selecting their favorite sugary snack.
B. Remaining alone in the room for 15 minutes.
C. Resisting the immediate desire to eat the first one.
D. Following the instructions given by the psychologist.
13. What does the author imply by “a version of the marshmallow test” for adults?
A. Adults are tested with digital devices instead of treats.
B. Adults face more complex temptations than children.
C. Adults must also delay contentment in the digital age.
D. Adults are assessed on the ability to share information.
14. According to the text, what is the root cause of people’s struggle against temptation?
A. The lack of self-discipline in our contemporary society.
B. The mismatch between our ancient brains and modern environment.
C. The overabundance of calorie-rich foods in the market.
D. The constant bombardment of new information from digital devices.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Marshmallow Test: Lessons for Modern Life
B. Delaying Satisfaction: A Key to Success
C. Why Our Brains Struggle in the Modern World
D How to Manage Information Consumption

47. 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。
Last year, when I was walking down the sidewalk on my usual route, I noticed a baby squirrel (松鼠) . Just as soon as the tiny creature started exploring his surroundings, I saw him trying to eat a dead leaf. Obviously, he was hungry, so I told him, “Stay right here, and I’ll be RIGHT back.”
When I returned, the spot was completely empty—no squirrel in sight. But as I spread some sunflower seeds, the baby squirrel reappeared. More amazingly, after enjoying the seeds, he tried to get into my bag and nested in my scarf. “Is he expecting me to take him home? Where is his mother?” I thought.
After several hours of observation by the roadside, I confirmed that this baby squirrel was indeed alone, with no family members around. Finally, I took him home. I spent the next two days basically acting as his mother, helping him eat, drink, and sleep. Despite my best efforts, this baby squirrel still nearly choked to death on a bite of banana.
When I saw the poor squirrel barely clinging to life, my heart almost stopped. In a panic, I rushed to the nearest animal hospital. I was worried all the way, positioning him upside down as I’d seen in pet first-aid videos, but he still showed no reaction. As we arrived at the hospital, the vet (兽医) quickly cleared his throat with a professional thin tube. “Tiny patients crash fast! Fortunately, he is saved!” When I heard her words, my anxious heart finally settled.
After a short break, I felt it okay to take him home. As we walked out of the room, something suddenly caught my squirrel’s attention. Before I could react, he slipped from my scarf, with his eyes fixed on something across the room. There, in a cage, lay an injured adult squirrel. The vet told me that the adult squirrel had been hit by a car and was receiving treatment. Seeing my baby squirrel staring at the adult one carefully, I asked if they might be related. The vet thought it unlikely, but out of curiosity, we decided to find out.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;(2)请按如下格式作答。
I carefully placed the baby squirrel near the injured adult’s cage.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It warmed my heart to see my baby squirrel reunite with his mother!
