The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it a Guinness World Record as the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Grab this chance and tick off this item on your bucket list. Grab a traditional Portuguese dinner Macao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many corners of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people. One of the must-try local foods in Macao is the Portuguese egg tart. Visit a museum Macao, as a tiny little city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum. Pop into a casino Well known as the “Las Vegas of the Orient”, Macao has 33 casinos. Among all, the Venetian is the most popular. With a huge shopping mall and gorgeous Vegas-style design, it is a must-go spot for both tourists and locals who want to enjoy leisure time. Selfie at the Ruins of St. Paul The Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul’s College and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. Miraculously, after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the hugefaçade (正面) and the front stairway remain unburned. Watch the Macao Grand Prix The Macao Grand Prix is a major worldwide car-racing event held annually, featuring over 300 top drivers every year. Racing through the small streets and roads over this tiny city, the Macao Grand Prix circuit is the only street circuit racing in the world for car and motorcycle events. Thus, it is also well-known as one of the world’s most demanding circuits. The Grand Prix runs annually in November every year for about four days. 1. Why is Macao Tower well-known to adventurers? A.

In which column of China Daily can you read this passage? A. Economy & Finance. B. International News. C. Science & Technology D. Culture & Lifestyle B My day in the sun had arrived—my masterpiece would be revealed. l had just delivered a speech that I had labored over for weeks, and I was about to learn how the panel judged my performance. The contest-organizer announced the third-place winner. The name was not mine. Then he read the second-place winner, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either feel the warmth of victory or regret the last several weeks spent preparing. When the result came my heart sank. Losing is part of life, and I have dealt with the emotional baggage occasionally. However, it was an indescribably terrible feeling to drive 300 miles round trip, get up extremely early on a freezing Saturday morning and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors. I had spent many hours in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read several biographies, one thought stood out. Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to affect his spirit or ambition. After not placing in the first year of the speech contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had been the symbol of persistence (坚持不懈), so I was not going to give up on n contest about a historic individual who did not give up! I reworked my speech for the following year, and though I did not come in last, again I did not win a place. Some days you’re the lucky dog, but some days you’re the hydrant, and this was definitely a hydrant day that let me down for a while. Though I did not earn money awards as a result of this contest, I did gain a new view. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with difficulties, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful Senate race—“The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’” 4. How did the author feel about the result of his first speech contest? A. Satisfied. B. Puzzled. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed. 5. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. Failure disappointed him at that time. B. Every dog has its day. C. He was definitely a loser all the time. D. Life is full of changes. 6. Why did the author mention Lincoln several times in the text? A. Lincoln suffered the pain of defeat. B. Lincoln’s persistence inspired him. C. Lincoln was a great president of the USA. D. Lincoln made famous comments on success. 7. What did the author learn from the second speech contest? A. The significance of success. B. The hard blow of difficulties. C. A new perspective on failure. D. The value of good preparations. C In 2022, scientists discovered that geese spend an average of 10% longer time looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days after fleeing from the fireworks. They obviously need that time to return to their previous state. Last year, with data from weather radars (雷达), an international team of researchers led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam showed how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. They found the effects were strongest within the first 5 km of fireworks, but overall flight activity remained at a higher level at distances up to about 10 km. “Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. We already knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands. Generally, communities of large-bodied species display a stronger response than communities of small-bodied species,” says Hoekstra. Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live near humans’ living areas, the influences of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. Flying requires a lot of energy, so birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects of fireworks on birds are less pronounced near forests. In addition, smaller birds such as finches live there, which are less likely to suddenly fly away from disturbance. Hoekstra and his team argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live. “These zones could be smaller in areas where light and sound travel less far, such as near forests. Besides, fireworks should mainly be lit at central locations in built-up areas, as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if we moved towards light shows without sound, such as drone (无人机) shows.” Hoekstra said. 8. Why are geese mentioned in that first paragraph? A. To show the food shortage they face. B. To show the shocking fireworks effect on birds. C. To highlight they are sensitive to sudden noise. D. To display birds’ quick reaction to fireworks. 9. What did Hoekstra and his team find? A. Smaller birds were more likely to be disturbed. B. Birds were affected by fireworks up to a distance of 10 km. C. Fireworks created a lifelong impact on bird flight activity. D. Only water birds were easily influenced by fireworks displays. 10. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Admirable. B. Avoidable. C. Noticeable. D. Predictable. 11. What does Hoekstra advise people to do to protect birds? A. Ban fireworks in built-up areas. B. Use drones to monitor bird flight activity. C. Replace fireworks with quieter light shows. D. Build fireworks-free: zones as large as possible. D These days, we’re all well aware of the plastic problem the world’s facing. We’re reminded of this issue all the time, whether that’s by being encouraged to recycle, or by having to pay for disposable carrier bags. Although we all realize what a serious issue plastic pollution is, it’s different when you actually see the overwhelming results of it for yourself. This was the situation a team of researchers who recently published a study on the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch (垃圾带) in the journal Scientific Reports found themselves in. According to the study, the patch, which is located off the coast of California, US, is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste and covers 1.6 million square kilometers. It’s over four times the size of Japan, or almost 100 times the size of Beijing. “I’ve been doing this research for a while, but it was depressing to see [the patch in person],” Laurent Lebreton, lead author of the study, told the Guardian. “There were things you just wondered how they made it into the ocean. There’s clearly an increasing influx of plastic into the garbage patch.” It’s believed that 8 million tons of plastic ends up in the sea each year, and a lot of it ends up collecting near largo ocean currents around the world, forming “islands” of plastic. This causes problems not only for son creatures but also for humans. The swirling ocean currents eventually break down some of the plastic, with a lot of it ending up in the digestive systems of fish and birds. As a result, it’s believed that plastic has worked its way up the food chain directly onto our plates — not to mention the countless creatures that choke on plastic waste, or are poisoned by the chemicals in it. So what can we do about this? Lebreton is a member of the Ocean Cleanup Foundation, a group that’s developed technology to collect plastic waste from the ocean. This is a huge project, with the group claiming it will take around five years just to clean up half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone. But rather than discourage people from using plastic altogether, Lebreton believes that we should simply be more mindful of how we use it. “In my opinion, plastic is very useful. But I think we must divert (转移) the way we use plastic, particularly in terms of single-use plastic and those objects that have a very short service lifespan,” he told BBC News. 12. What is the main idea of the passage? A The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. B. A study on plastic pollution. C. Lebreton and his research. D. Cleaning ocean of plastic. 13. According to the text, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch ________. A. is about four times the size of Beijing. B. is harmful to both sea creatures and humans. C. consists of about 1.6 million tons of plastic waste. D. was formed because of swirling ocean currents. 14. What can we learn from the passage? A. People should be more careful with their use of plastic products. B. Single-use plastic should be banned for the sake of the environment. C. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch will be cleaned up in about five years. D. Plastic products with short service lifespans should be replaced. 15. What is the text probably from? A A business report B. A textbook C. A magazine D. Science fiction 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You may have heard and are familiar with the saying that travel broadens the mind, but does it really hold true? ____16____.

But her dream didn’t come true. After her father died in her teens, life kept throwing new responsibilities at Linda. She had to look after her younger brothers and sisters. Then came kids after her getting married, and then the kids’ kids. She spent most of her life taking care of her family. And in her closet, Linda locked all her poems, her talent, and also her dream of reading her poems on stage. One Sunday, Linda was joyfully cooking in the kitchen because her children and grandchildren were going to visit her. Although doctors told her not to take stress, she spent five hours preparing nice food for them! After lunch that day, Linda sat with her 10-year-old grandson, Mark. And she said, “Honey, can you fetch me the family album from my closet? Let’s take a look together.” While searching for the album, Mark discovered many pieces of paper there. He came running and said, “Grandma! Are these yours? Do you write poems?” Linda replied, “Oh, I did it in the past. I wanted to read them on stage one day, but I never had the opportunity. You see, I have two wonderful sons and many lovely grandchildren. I got busy in the past. Anyway, forget about that.” But Mark didn’t. Days later, his school announced that there would be a talent show and that kids’ grandparents could also participate in it. Mark immediately signed his grandma up for the show. When visiting his grandma again, Mark told her the news and said, “Grandma, you can finally stand on stage and read your poems!” Linda said in tears, “I'm too old! I will get nervous.” But Mark believed that his grandma would be the best poet. With his encouragement, Linda agreed and decided to read a humorous poem written by herself. Mark’s support didn’t end up there. He told Linda’s story to Joseph, the father of one of his classmates, who worked as an editor for a local newspaper. And he asked whether Joseph could publish his grandma’s old poems and invite her to write new ones for the newspaper. Joseph smiled, “Well, if your grandma’s poems in the talent show prove good, I’ll talk about it with her.” 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。 Linda was expecting the upcoming show. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Joseph was deeply impressed with Linda's poem. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 安庆二中2025-2026学年度第一学期期中考试 高二英语试题 （试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The contest-organizer announced the third-place winner. The name was not mine. Then he read the second-place winner, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either feel the warmth of victory or regret the last several weeks spent preparing. When the result came my heart sank. Losing is part of life, and I have dealt with the emotional baggage occasionally. However, it was an indescribably terrible feeling to drive 300 miles round trip, get up extremely early on a freezing Saturday morning and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors. I had spent many hours in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read several biographies one thought stood out. Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to affect his spirit or ambition. After not placing in the first year of the speech contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had been the symbol of persistence (坚持不懈), so I was not going to give up on n contest about a historic individual who did not give up! I reworked my speech for the following year, and though I did not come in last, again I did not win a place. Some days you’re the lucky dog, but some days you’re the hydrant, and this was definitely a hydrant day that let me down for a while. Though I did not earn money awards as a result of this contest, I did gain a new view. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with difficulties, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful Senate race—“The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’” 4. How did the author feel about the result of his first speech contest? A. Satisfied. B. Puzzled. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed. 5. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. Failure disappointed him at that time. B. Every dog has its day. C. He was definitely a loser all the time. D. Life is full of changes. 6. Why did the author mention Lincoln several times in the text? A. Lincoln suffered the pain of defeat. B. Lincoln’s persistence inspired him. C. Lincoln was a great president of the USA. D. Lincoln made famous comments on success. 7. What did the author learn from the second speech contest? A. The significance of success. B. The hard blow of difficulties. C. A new perspective on failure. D. The value of good preparations. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在经历两次的演讲比赛中失败后，对失败有了新的思考，人生的态度发生了改变。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The contest-organizer announced the third-place winner. The name was not mine. Then he read the second-place winner, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either feel the warmth of victory or regret the last several weeks spent preparing. When the result came my heart sank.( 比赛组织者宣布了第三名的获胜者。这个名字不是我的。然后他读了第二名的名字，又一次不是我。最后，关键时刻来了。我要么感受到胜利的温暖，要么后悔过去几周的准备。当结果出来时，我的心一沉。)”可推知，作者对他第一次演讲比赛的结果感到失望。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Some days you’re the lucky dog, but some days…(有时你是幸运儿，但有时……)”以及“…that let me down for a while(让我失望了一会儿。)”由此可知，第四段中划线的句子指的是作者失望的感觉，那次失败使他失望。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Lincoln had been the symbol of persistence (坚持不懈), so I was not going to give up on n contest about a historic individual who did not give up!( 林肯一直是坚持不懈的象征，所以我不会放弃这场关于一个不放弃的历史人物的比赛！)”以及第五段中“Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with difficulties, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful Senate race—The path was worn and slippery.( 通过了解林肯，我发现我可以成功地失败。现在，每当我遇到困难时，我就会想起林肯在参议员竞选失败后说过的话——道路是崎岖而滑的。)”可推知，作者在文中多次提到林肯是因为林肯的坚持激励了他。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though I did not earn money awards as a result of this contest, I did gain a new view. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with difficulties, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful Senate race—“The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”( 虽然我没有因为这次比赛而获得金钱奖励，但我确实获得了新的观点。通过了解林肯，我发现我可以成功地失败。现在，每当我遇到困难时，我就会想起林肯在参议员竞选失败后说过的话——“道路是崎岖而滑的。我的一只脚从我身下滑了下来，把另一只脚撞倒了，但我回过神来，对自己说：‘这是滑倒，不是摔倒。’”)”可推知，作者从第二次演讲比赛中获得了对失败的新看法。故选C项。 C In 2022, scientists discovered that geese spend an average of 10% longer time looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days after fleeing from the fireworks. They obviously need that time to return to their previous state. Last year, with data from weather radars (雷达), an international team of researchers led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam showed how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. They found the effects were strongest within the first 5 km of fireworks, but overall flight activity remained at a higher level at distances up to about 10 km. “Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. We already knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands. Generally, communities of large-bodied species display a stronger response than communities of small-bodied species,” says Hoekstra. Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live near humans’ living areas, the influences of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. Flying requires a lot of energy, so birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects of fireworks on birds are less pronounced near forests. In addition, smaller birds such as finches live there, which are less likely to suddenly fly away from disturbance. Hoekstra and his team argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live. “These zones could be smaller in areas where light and sound travel less far, such as near forests. Besides, fireworks should mainly be lit at central locations in built-up areas, as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if we moved towards light shows without sound, such as drone (无人机) shows.” Hoekstra said. 8. Why are geese mentioned in that first paragraph? A. To show the food shortage they face. B. To show the shocking fireworks effect on birds. C. To highlight they are sensitive to sudden noise. D. To display birds’ quick reaction to fireworks. 9. What did Hoekstra and his team find? A. Smaller birds were more likely to be disturbed. B. Birds were affected by fireworks up to a distance of 10 km. C. Fireworks created a lifelong impact on bird flight activity. D. Only water birds were easily influenced by fireworks displays. 10. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 3 mean? A Admirable. B. Avoidable. C. Noticeable. D. Predictable. 11. What does Hoekstra advise people to do to protect birds? A. Ban fireworks in built-up areas. B. Use drones to monitor bird flight activity. C. Replace fireworks with quieter light shows. D. Build fireworks-free: zones as large as possible. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了烟花对鸟类的影响，包括鹅在逃离烟花后的行为变化、大型鸟类在开阔地区受烟花影响的情况，以及小型鸟类在森林附近受烟花影响较小的原因。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“In 2022, scientists discovered that geese spend an average of 10% longer time looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days after fleeing from the fireworks. They obviously need that time to return to their previous state.(2022年，科学家发现，鹅在逃离烟花后的至少11天内，寻找食物的时间平均比正常情况下多出10%。显然，它们需要这段时间来恢复到之前的状态。)”可以推断，鹅在逃离烟花后需要更长的时间来寻找食物，这说明烟花对鹅产生了影响，而鹅是鸟类的一种，所以提到鹅是为了展示烟花对鸟类的惊人影响。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最中的“They found the effects were strongest within the first 5 km of fireworks, but overall flight activity remained at a higher level at distances up to about 10 km.(他们发现，在距离烟花5公里以内的地方，影响最为强烈，但总体飞行活动在距离烟花10公里以内的范围内仍处于较高水平。)”可知，Hoekstra和他的团队发现鸟类受到烟花的影响在距离烟花10公里以内的地方都存在，即鸟类受到烟花的影响最多可达10公里远。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。文章第三段提到“Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects of fireworks on birds are less pronounced near forests.In addition, smaller birds such as finches live there, which are less likely to suddenly fly away from disturbance.(确保这一点的措施在开阔地区（如草原）尤为重要，因为许多大型鸟类在那里过冬。烟花对鸟类的影响在森林附近不那么_____。此外，雀科等较小的鸟类也生活在那里，它们不太可能突然飞离干扰。)”，此句中的“this”指的是前文提到的“Flying requires a lot of energy, so birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter.(飞行需要大量的能量，所以在寒冷的冬天，鸟类应该尽量少受干扰。)”，从而推知，鸟类应该尽量少受干扰，所以采取措施确保鸟类少受干扰在开阔地区尤为重要，因为许多大型鸟类在那里过冬，而烟花对鸟类的影响在森林附近不那么“明显”。说明烟花对大型鸟干扰没有对小型鸟的干扰那么明显，由此可推出画线词“pronounced”的意思是“明显的”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句Hoekstra的话“Besides, fireworks should mainly be lit at central locations in built-up areas, as far away from birds as possible.It would be best for birds if we moved towards light shows without sound, such as drone (无人机) shows.(此外，烟花爆竹应主要在建成区的中心位置燃放，尽可能远离鸟类。如果我们转向无声的光影秀，比如无人机表演，对鸟类来说将是最好的。)”可知，Hoekstra建议人们用更安静的光影秀来代替烟花来保护鸟类。故选C项。 D These days, we’re all well aware of the plastic problem the world’s facing. We’re reminded of this issue all the time, whether that’s by being encouraged to recycle, or by having to pay for disposable carrier bags. Although we all realize what a serious issue plastic pollution is, it’s different when you actually see the overwhelming results of it for yourself. This was the situation a team of researchers who recently published a study on the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch (垃圾带) in the journal Scientific Reports found themselves in. According to the study, the patch, which is located off the coast of California, US, is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste and covers 1.6 million square kilometers. It’s over four times the size of Japan, or almost 100 times the size of Beijing. “I’ve been doing this research for a while, but it was depressing to see [the patch in person],” Laurent Lebreton, lead author of the study, told the Guardian. “There were things you just wondered how they made it into the ocean. There’s clearly an increasing influx of plastic into the garbage patch.” It’s believed that 8 million tons of plastic ends up in the sea each year and a lot of it ends up collecting near largo ocean currents around the world, forming “islands” of plastic. This causes problems not only for son creatures but also for humans. The swirling ocean currents eventually break down some of the plastic, with a lot of it ending up in the digestive systems of fish and birds. As a result, it’s believed that plastic has worked its way up the food chain directly onto our plates — not to mention the countless creatures that choke on plastic waste, or are poisoned by the chemicals in it. So what can we do about this? Lebreton is a member of the Ocean Cleanup Foundation, a group that’s developed technology to collect plastic waste from the ocean. This is a huge project, with the group claiming it will take around five years just to clean up half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone. But rather than discourage people from using plastic altogether, Lebreton believes that we should simply be more mindful of how we use it. “In my opinion, plastic is very useful. But I think we must divert (转移) the way we use plastic, particularly in terms of single-use plastic and those objects that have a very short service lifespan,” he told BBC News. 12. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. B. A study on plastic pollution. C. Lebreton and his research. D. Cleaning ocean of plastic. 13. According to the text, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch ________. A. is about four times the size of Beijing. B. is harmful to both sea creatures and humans. C. consists of about 1.6 million tons of plastic waste. D. was formed because of swirling ocean currents. 14. What can we learn from the passage? A. People should be more careful with their use of plastic products. B. Single-use plastic should be banned for the sake of the environment. C. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch will be cleaned up in about five years. D. Plastic products with short service lifespans should be replaced. 15. What is the text probably from? A. A business report B. A textbook C. A magazine D. Science fiction 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太平洋垃圾带的情况，包括其规模、对生态的影响以及应对措施。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“These days, we’re all well aware of the plastic problem the world’s facing.

But her dream didn’t come true. After her father died in her teens, life kept throwing new responsibilities at Linda. She had to look after her younger brothers and sisters. Then came kids after her getting married, and then the kids’ kids. She spent most of her life taking care of her family. And in her closet, Linda locked all her poems, her talent, and also her dream of reading her poems on stage. One Sunday, Linda was joyfully cooking in the kitchen because her children and grandchildren were going to visit her. Although doctors told her not to take stress, she spent five hours preparing nice food for them! After lunch that day, Linda sat with her 10-year-old grandson, Mark. And she said, “Honey, can you fetch me the family album from my closet? Let’s take a look together.” While searching for the album, Mark discovered many pieces of paper there. He came running and said, “Grandma! Are these yours? Do you write poems?” Linda replied, “Oh, I did it in the past. I wanted to read them on stage one day, but I never had the opportunity. You see, I have two wonderful sons and many lovely grandchildren. I got busy in the past. Anyway, forget about that.” But Mark didn’t. Days later, his school announced that there would be a talent show and that kids’ grandparents could also participate in it. Mark immediately signed his grandma up for the show. When visiting his grandma again, Mark told her the news and said, “Grandma, you can finally stand on stage and read your poems!” Linda said in tears, “I'm too old! I will get nervous.” But Mark believed that his grandma would be the best poet. With his encouragement, Linda agreed and decided to read a humorous poem written by herself. Mark’s support didn’t end up there. He told Linda’s story to Joseph, the father of one of his classmates, who worked as an editor for a local newspaper. And he asked whether Joseph could publish his grandma’s old poems and invite her to write new ones for the newspaper.
