Tony usually visits his grandparents ________ Sunday mornings. A. in B. on C. at D. to 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：托尼通常在星期天早上拜访他的祖父母。 考查时间介词辨析。in后常接年、月、季节等；on后常接具体某一天（或具体某一天的上午、下午、晚上）；at后常接具体时刻；to一般不用于时间前。根据“Sunday mornings”可知，是具体某一天的上午，应用介词on。故选B。 3. —Ms. Li, must we hand in the book report today? —No, you ________.

A. needn’t B. can’t C. shouldn’t D. mustn’t 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 李老师，我们今天必须交读书报告吗？—— 不，你们不必。只要确保在周五之前交给我就行。 考查情态动词。need’t不必；can’t不能；shouldn’t不应该；mustn’t禁止。根据“Ms. Li, must we hand in the book report today?”可知，此处是以must开头的一般疑问句，否定回答应用needn’t。故选A。 4.

When I found Jenny in the library, she ________ an adventure story. A. is reading B. was reading C. reads D. has read 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我在图书馆找到Jenny时，她正在读一个冒险故事。 考查时态辨析。根据“When I found Jenny...”可知，“找到”的动作是发生在过去，而“阅读”是当时正在进行的动作，应用过去进行时，其结构为“was/were+现在分词”，主语she是单数，故用was reading。故选B。 10.

For Mia Carter, a marathon runner, reaching the finish line wasn’t just about completing the London Marathon. It was about the journey she took to get there, thanks to a very special dog. Butter was one of many animals taken in by Forever Friends Animal Shelter (收容所). When Mia first saw him, he was full of fear about the world. “One look at him, and I had to adopt (收养) him,” she said. “I knew he needed to be loved.” As Butter started life in his new home, he slowly became relaxed and playful. At the same time, Mia was trying to realize a dream of her own: completing all six of the most well-known marathons in the world. Only about 20,000 people have ever done it, and Mia had just one race left: London Marathon. But getting in wasn’t easy. She’d tried for years, but luck hadn’t been on her side. That changed just one week after she adopted Butter. The London Marathon’s charity applications (申请) opened and Mia saw a chance. She applied to run for Nature Spirits, an organization that helps save and rehome pets—many of whom, like Butter, have come from heartbreaking situations. As part of her application, she wrote about Butter’s journey and the love they had found together. Her story moved the organizers, and she was finally chosen for the race. On April 27 of this year, Mia stood at the start line in London, running not just for herself but for every animal that should have a second chance. And when she crossed the final finish line, she became one of the runners to complete all the six marathons. Butter’s adoption also set off a chain reaction (连锁反应). Mia’s now an active volunteer and member of Forever Friends, helping dogs like Butter find their happy endings. 24. What was Butter like when Mia first saw him? A. Fearful. B. Relaxed. C. Weak. D. Playful. 25. What helped Mia finally get into the London Marathon? A. Her years of repeated applications. B. Her excellent performance in past races. C. Her voluntary work at an animal shelter. D. Her touching story with her adopted dog. 26. What can we learn from the story? A. Practice makes progress. B. Being kind has lasting power. C Actions speak louder than words. D. It’s better to give than to receive. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了马拉松运动员Mia Carter和收养的狗Butter之间的故事，以及Butter对Mia Carter生活产生的积极影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When Mia first saw him, he was full of fear about the world.”可知，Mia Carter第一次见到Butter时，Butter对世界充满了恐惧。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As part of her application, she wrote about Butter’s journey and the love they had found together. Her story moved the organizers, and she was finally chosen for the race.”可知，Mia Carter写下了她和Butter的故事，这个故事打动了组织者，最终她被选中参加比赛。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，Mia Carter收养了充满恐惧的Butter，给予它爱，让它变得放松和爱玩，同时Mia Carter在Butter的影响下实现了自己的马拉松梦想，还成为收容所的积极志愿者和成员，帮助其他像Butter一样的狗找到幸福结局，这体现了善良具有持久的力量，能够带来积极的影响和改变。故选B。 C Imagine this: You turn to a workmate and say, “Could you make me a coffee, please?” They look at you and pause (停顿). A second passes. Maybe two. And then they say, “Sure.” How do you feel? Do you think they are happy to help you, or are they agreeing unwillingly? That’s the social meaning of pauses. Together with my team, I decided to study it more closely. In the first study, our team examined how listeners understand the length of pauses before an answer. We played short Polish (波兰语) conversations to Polish listeners, in which one person made a small request (请求), such as “Can you open the window, please?” Sometimes, the person replying was a Polish native (母语的) speaker; other times, a Chinese native speaker speaking Polish. The reply came either after a very short pause (0.2 seconds) or a longer pause (1.2 seconds). The results showed that, for native speakers, longer pauses were seen as a sign of lower willingness to help. When the same pauses came from non-native speakers, however, the people replying were judged as equally (同等的) willing, no matter how long the pauses were. Listeners seemed to understand the longer pause as the effort of working out an answer and speaking it out in a foreign language. When conversations focused on knowledge questions, such as “What was the first vegetable grown in space?”, long pauses were generally taken as a sign of lower knowledge and confidence rather than unwillingness to cooperate, no matter whether the speaker was native or non-native. But do people around the world understand pauses in the same way? In the second study, we ran the experiment with Chinese volunteers listening to conversations in Chinese spoken by either a native speaker or a Polish learner. The results showed that, for both requests and knowledge questions, the judgments of pauses were surprisingly similar across cultures. In an age of rapid digital communication and immediate replies, it’s interesting to realize how much we still depend on small timing signs to understand what others mean. The next time someone pauses before answering your request for coffee, you might think twice before supposing they’re unwilling. They could just be searching for the right words—or, of course, deciding how badly they want that coffee break. 27. What is the focus of the team’s studies? A. How people reply to a request. B. Why people pause during conversations. C. How people read pauses in conversations. D. Why people reply differently to a request. 28. In which situation is the person most likely to be seen as unwilling to cooperate? A. A student pauses before answering a math question. B. Someone pauses before stating a fact they are unsure about. C. Someone pauses before replying to a request in their native language. D. A native Chinese speaker pauses before answering a question in English. 29. What advice does the writer give about pauses in the last paragraph? A. Be careful when judging others by pauses. B. Take pauses as a sign of thoughtful answers. C. Understand pauses differently in different cultures. D. Be mindful of pausing to ensure better understanding. 【答案】27. C 28. C 29. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了人们在对话中如何理解停顿的社会含义，并通过两项实验研究不同语言背景和文化下停顿的解读差异。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“That’s the social meaning of pauses. Together with my team, I decided to study it more closely.”以及全文内容可知，研究团队的重点是分析人们如何解读对话中的停顿。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The results showed that, for native speakers, longer pauses were seen as a sign of lower willingness to help.”可知，母语者在回应请求时的长停顿会被视为不情愿。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The next time someone pauses before answering your request for coffee, you might think twice before supposing they’re unwilling.”可知，作者建议通过停顿判断他人时要谨慎。故选A。 D We live in a culture that treats mistakes as both unavoidable and unacceptable. On one hand, we are told again and again that mistakes are our teachers. On the other hand, we carry the weight of each misstep as if it should never have happened. No matter how we view mistakes, the unspoken rule is that the goal remains the same: avoid mistakes at all costs. But what if the very thing we call a mistake isn’t one at all? You planned carefully, acted honestly, and made thoughtful choices. Yet the result looked different from what you imagined. It is natural to call it a mistake. But what if it was simply an outcome, neither right nor wrong, just reality moving in a direction you did not expect? For example, someone accepted a meaningful job. Later, the company restructured (重组) and the position disappeared. Did he make a wrong decision? If we call every difference from expectation a mistake, we lose the ability to accept uncertainty as part of the process. There is an important difference between negligence and uncertainty. Negligence, paying no attention to facts, missing warnings, or failing to act with care, can and should be called a mistake. But uncertainty, no matter how uncomfortable, is not. It’s simply the reality we live with. When we learn to separate true mistakes from unavoidable outcomes, we allow ourselves to walk more freely, act with courage, and experiment without carrying the weight of unnecessary regret. This does not mean you can take things lightly. We should plan carefully, consider possible outcomes, and act responsibly. But once we have done so, we must also accept that the results may not correspond to the picture we painted in our minds. Sometimes it is just life, moving us into places we did not expect but might need to be. I can think of moments in my own life when an opportunity (机会) I worked for with full effort did not materialize. At the time, it felt like a mistake. But looking back, those moments turned out to be turning points, redirecting my time and energy toward spaces I would never have explored otherwise. What felt like mistakes was in fact redirection. Only when we do not treat the absence of a hoped-for outcome as a mistake, can we start opening our minds to unexpected opportunities that appear when things don’t go as planned. And maybe the lesson is not just to learn from mistakes, but to learn which things were never mistakes in the first place. 30. Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 2? A. To prove that mistakes are hard to avoid. B. To encourage careful thought before acting. C. To explain that uncertainty is normal in life. D. To stress the importance of making good decisions. 31. The words “correspond to” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “________”. A. depend on B. center on C. connect with D. agree with 32. Which of the following would the writer most probably support? A. Mistakes usually result from poor preparation. B. Acting carefully is the key to reducing uncertainty. C. Our view on unexpected outcomes shapes our growth. D. Avoiding mistakes matters more than exploring new experiences. 33. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. What Can We Learn From a Mistake? B. When Is a Mistake Really a Mistake? C. Why Are Mistakes Unacceptable? D. How Can We Avoid Mistakes? 【答案】30. C 31. D 32. C 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了“错误”的定义，区分了“疏忽导致的真正错误”与“生活中不可避免的不确定性结果”，指出不应将所有与预期不符的结果都归为错误；建议人们正确看待意外结果，学会接受生活的不确定性，如此才能更勇敢地行动，并拥抱意外带来的机遇。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，本段通过“接受工作后因公司重组失去职位”的例子，说明若将所有与预期不符的结果都称为错误，我们会失去接受不确定性的能力，即解释不确定性是生活中正常的一部分。故选C。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“But once we have done so, we must also accept that the results may not correspond to the picture we painted in our minds.”可知，一旦我们完成了这些操作，我们也必须承认，所得的结果可能与我们脑海中所描绘的景象并不完全一致，“correspond to”在此处意为 “与……一致”，与“agree with”含义相近。故选D。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。文章核心观点是“区分真正的错误（疏忽）与不可避免的不确定性结果”，并指出看待意外结果的方式会影响我们的状态（如更自由、有勇气）。选项C“我们对意外结果的看法塑造了我们的成长”符合作者的主张。故选C。 【33题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章内容可知，文章围绕“何为真正的错误”展开，区分了“疏忽导致的错误”与“生活中不可避免的不确定性结果”，因此标题“When Is a Mistake Really a Mistake?”（什么时候所谓的错误才是真正的错误？）最契合主旨。故选B。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Growing up, Anna Brooks often received letters. Her mother used to write her letters. So, when she found herself feeling disconnected while living in a big city, Anna decided to mirror her mother’s habit of writing letters—but it happened in a way she had never expected. “To get through the difficult time, I began writing letters to people I saw around the city,” explains Anna, founder of warmletters.com. “That small act grew into something much bigger: I shared the story online and invited others to ask for letters if they needed encouragement. Over nine months, I wrote more than 400 letters to strangers all across the world.” Today, fewer people write letters because technology such as texting, video calls, and emails is often considered more efficient (高效的). But Anna points out that the care and thought behind letters make them especially meaningful. “A handwritten letter symbolizes something you can touch in a digital world. It means that someone cleared space, took time, and was fully present to show up for someone else.” So what makes letter-writing so magical? Psychotherapist (心理治疗师) Ellie Rowland says, “The short-form nature of texts and DMs (direct messages) can make it hard to understand the nuances (细微含义) of what the other person is saying. Letter writing provides you with time and space to choose what you want to say. It can also lead to lower stress and more self-awareness.” Warmletters.com allows you to connect with people you’ve never met. Every month, several lucky people are chosen to receive handwritten letters of hope and encouragement. They are often people in need of support, such as someone caring for a sick family member or a person who has lost their home in a fire. Writing to a stranger can bring hope for the sender as well as the receiver. “Turning your focus from your own worries to helping someone else is what makes the greatest difference,” Anna shares. “Every time I sat down to write a letter, I stepped away from my heavy, dark feelings, and poured light, love, and encouragement into someone else’s day.” 34. What habit did Anna learn from her mother? ________________________________________________ 35. Why do fewer people write letters today? ________________________________________________ 36. What kind of people can receive letters from warmletters.com? ________________________________________________ 37. Would you like to be a letter writer like Anna? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) ________________________________________________ 【答案】34. Anna learned the habit of writing letters from her mother. 35. Because technology such as texting, video calls, and emails is often considered more efficient. 36. People in need of support. 37. No, I wouldn’t. First, I prefer to communicate with others through faster ways like texting or video calls, which save time and allow for instant responses. Second, I am not very good at expressing my feelings in writing. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Anna受母亲影响养成写信习惯，在如今少有人写信的时代通过写信传递希望与鼓励，以及写信带来的意义等内容。 【34题详解】 根据“Her mother used to write her letters. So, when she found herself feeling disconnected while living in a big city, Anna decided to mirror her mother’s habit of writing letters”可知，安娜从她母亲那里学到了写信的习惯。故填Anna learned the habit of writing letters from her mother. 【35题详解】 根据“Today, fewer people write letters because technology such as texting, video calls, and emails is often considered more efficient (高效的).”可知，如今少有人写信是因为短信、视频通话和电子邮件等技术通常被认为更高效。故填Because technology such as texting, video calls, and emails is often considered more efficient. 【36题详解】 根据“Every month, several lucky people are chosen to receive handwritten letters of hope and encouragement. They are often people in need of support, such as someone caring for a sick family member or a person who has lost their home in a fire.”可知，需要支持的人可以从warmletters.com收到信件。故填People in need of support. 【37题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填No, I wouldn’t. First, I prefer to communicate with others through faster ways like texting or video calls, which save time and allow for instant responses. Second, I am not very good at expressing my feelings in writing. 五、文段表达（10分） 38.从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出的内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名、姓名和地名。 题目① 38. 假设你是李华，你校将举办“科技节”活动，现向同学们征集主题海报。你将和交换生Peter合作设计海报。请你用英语给他写一封邮件，向他介绍你的初步设想及理由。 提示词语： theme (主题)，draw, robot, convenient, protect 内容提示： What’s your idea for the poster design?

Yours Li Hua 【答案】One possible version： Dear Peter, I’m so glad that we can work together on the poster. I’m writing to share my idea for the poster design. Our theme could be “Technology Makes Life Better”. We could draw a smart home. In the house, a robot is cleaning the living room and a child is learning with VR glasses. We could also add some electric cars running on a green road. These products are familiar to us, so our poster will be eye-catching. Through this design, I want to show that technology not only makes our life more convenient and enjoyable, but also plays an important role in protecting the earth. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

One day, my thirteen-year-old son, Ryan, came home and said, “Mom, you should join our charity—____13____ race.” As he told me the details (细节), I laughed out loud. “What makes you think I could finish a twenty-mile bike race?” I asked. Ryan looked me straight in the eyes, “I know you can do it.” I almost laughed again, but he was ____14____. I promised to think about it. The next day in my class, the kids were learning to sing a song. “Let’s do it faster. I know you can do it!” I said.

For Mia Carter, a marathon runner, reaching the finish line wasn’t just about completing the London Marathon. It was about the journey she took to get there, thanks to a very special dog. Butter was one of many animals taken in by Forever Friends Animal Shelter (收容所). When Mia first saw him, he was full of fear about the world. “One look at him, and I had to adopt (收养) him,” she said. “I knew he needed to be loved.” As Butter started life in his new home, he slowly became relaxed and playful. At the same time, Mia was trying to realize a dream of her own: completing all six of the most well-known marathons in the world. Only about 20,000 people have ever done it, and Mia had just one race left: London Marathon. But getting in wasn’t easy. She’d tried for years, but luck hadn’t been on her side. That changed just one week after she adopted Butter. The London Marathon’s charity applications (申请) opened, and Mia saw a chance. She applied to run for Nature Spirits, an organization that helps save and rehome pets—many of whom, like Butter, have come from heartbreaking situations. As part of her application, she wrote about Butter’s journey and the love they had found together. Her story moved the organizers, and she was finally chosen for the race. On April 27 of this year, Mia stood at the start line in London, running not just for herself but for every animal that should have a second chance. And when she crossed the final finish line, she became one of the runners to complete all the six marathons. Butter’s adoption also set off a chain reaction (连锁反应). Mia’s now an active volunteer and member of Forever Friends, helping dogs like Butter find their happy endings. 24. What was Butter like when Mia first saw him? A. Fearful. B. Relaxed. C. Weak. D. Playful. 25. What helped Mia finally get into the London Marathon? A. Her years of repeated applications. B. Her excellent performance in past races. C. Her voluntary work at an animal shelter. D. Her touching story with her adopted dog. 26. What can we learn from the story? A. Practice makes progress. B. Being kind has lasting power. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. It’s better to give than to receive. C Imagine this: You turn to a workmate and say, “Could you make me a coffee, please?” They look at you and pause (停顿). A second passes. Maybe two. And then they say, “Sure.” How do you feel? Do you think they are happy to help you, or are they agreeing unwillingly? That’s the social meaning of pauses. Together with my team, I decided to study it more closely. In the first study, our team examined how listeners understand the length of pauses before an answer. We played short Polish (波兰语) conversations to Polish listeners, in which one person made a small request (请求), such as “Can you open the window, please?” Sometimes, the person replying was a Polish native (母语的) speaker; other times, a Chinese native speaker speaking Polish. The reply came either after a very short pause (0.2 seconds) or a longer pause (1.2 seconds). The results showed that, for native speakers, longer pauses were seen as a sign of lower willingness to help. When the same pauses came from non-native speakers, however, the people replying were judged as equally (同等的) willing, no matter how long the pauses were. Listeners seemed to understand the longer pause as the effort of working out an answer and speaking it out in a foreign language. When conversations focused on knowledge questions, such as “What was the first vegetable grown in space?”, long pauses were generally taken as a sign of lower knowledge and confidence rather than unwillingness to cooperate, no matter whether the speaker was native or non-native. But do people around the world understand pauses in the same way? In the second study, we ran the experiment with Chinese volunteers listening to conversations in Chinese spoken by either a native speaker or a Polish learner. The results showed that, for both requests and knowledge questions, the judgments of pauses were surprisingly similar across cultures. In an age of rapid digital communication and immediate replies, it’s interesting to realize how much we still depend on small timing signs to understand what others mean. The next time someone pauses before answering your request for coffee, you might think twice before supposing they’re unwilling. They could just be searching for the right words—or, of course, deciding how badly they want that coffee break. 27. What is the focus of the team’s studies? A. How people reply to a request. B. Why people pause during conversations. C. How people read pauses in conversations. D. Why people reply differently to a request. 28. In which situation is the person most likely to be seen as unwilling to cooperate? A. A student pauses before answering a math question. B. Someone pauses before stating a fact they are unsure about. C. Someone pauses before replying to a request in their native language. D. A native Chinese speaker pauses before answering a question in English. 29. What advice does the writer give about pauses in the last paragraph? A. Be careful when judging others by pauses. B. Take pauses as a sign of thoughtful answers. C. Understand pauses differently in different cultures. D. Be mindful of pausing to ensure better understanding. D We live in a culture that treats mistakes as both unavoidable and unacceptable. On one hand, we are told again and again that mistakes are our teachers. On the other hand, we carry the weight of each misstep as if it should never have happened. No matter how we view mistakes, the unspoken rule is that the goal remains the same: avoid mistakes at all costs. But what if the very thing we call a mistake isn’t one at all? You planned carefully, acted honestly, and made thoughtful choices. Yet the result looked different from what you imagined. It is natural to call it a mistake. But what if it was simply an outcome, neither right nor wrong, just reality moving in a direction you did not expect? For example, someone accepted a meaningful job. Later, the company restructured (重组) and the position disappeared. Did he make a wrong decision? If we call every difference from expectation a mistake, we lose the ability to accept uncertainty as part of the process. There is an important difference between negligence and uncertainty. Negligence, paying no attention to facts, missing warnings, or failing to act with care, can and should be called a mistake. But uncertainty, no matter how uncomfortable, is not. It’s simply the reality we live with. When we learn to separate true mistakes from unavoidable outcomes, we allow ourselves to walk more freely, act with courage, and experiment without carrying the weight of unnecessary regret. This does not mean you can take things lightly. We should plan carefully, consider possible outcomes, and act responsibly. But once we have done so, we must also accept that the results may not correspond to the picture we painted in our minds. Sometimes it is just life, moving us into places we did not expect but might need to be. I can think of moments in my own life when an opportunity (机会) I worked for with full effort did not materialize. At the time, it felt like a mistake. But looking back, those moments turned out to be turning points, redirecting my time and energy toward spaces I would never have explored otherwise. What felt like mistakes was in fact redirection. Only when we do not treat the absence of a hoped-for outcome as a mistake, can we start opening our minds to unexpected opportunities that appear when things don’t go as planned. And maybe the lesson is not just to learn from mistakes, but to learn which things were never mistakes in the first place. 30. Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 2? A. To prove that mistakes are hard to avoid. B To encourage careful thought before acting. C. To explain that uncertainty is normal in life. D To stress the importance of making good decisions. 31. The words “correspond to” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “________”. A. depend on B. center on C. connect with D. agree with 32. Which of the following would the writer most probably support? A. Mistakes usually result from poor preparation. B. Acting carefully is the key to reducing uncertainty. C. Our view on unexpected outcomes shapes our growth. D. Avoiding mistakes matters more than exploring new experiences. 33. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. What Can We Learn From a Mistake? B. When Is a Mistake Really a Mistake? C. Why Are Mistakes Unacceptable? D. How Can We Avoid Mistakes? 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Growing up, Anna Brooks often received letters. Her mother used to write her letters. So, when she found herself feeling disconnected while living in a big city, Anna decided to mirror her mother’s habit of writing letters—but it happened in a way she had never expected. “To get through the difficult time, I began writing letters to people I saw around the city,” explains Anna, founder of warmletters.com. “That small act grew into something much bigger: I shared the story online and invited others to ask for letters if they needed encouragement. Over nine months, I wrote more than 400 letters to strangers all across the world.” Today, fewer people write letters because technology such as texting, video calls, and emails is often considered more efficient (高效的). But Anna points out that the care and thought behind letters make them especially meaningful. “A handwritten letter symbolizes something you can touch in a digital world. It means that someone cleared space, took time, and was fully present to show up for someone else.” So what makes letter-writing so magical? Psychotherapist (心理治疗师) Ellie Rowland says, “The short-form nature of texts and DMs (direct messages) can make it hard to understand the nuances (细微含义) of what the other person is saying. Letter writing provides you with time and space to choose what you want to say. It can also lead to lower stress and more self-awareness.” Warmletters.com allows you to connect with people you’ve never met. Every month several lucky people are chosen to receive handwritten letters of hope and encouragement. They are often people in need of support, such as someone caring for a sick family member or a person who has lost their home in a fire. Writing to a stranger can bring hope for the sender as well as the receiver. “Turning your focus from your own worries to helping someone else is what makes the greatest difference,” Anna shares. “Every time I sat down to write a letter, I stepped away from my heavy, dark feelings, and poured light, love, and encouragement into someone else’s day.” 34. What habit did Anna learn from her mother? ________________________________________________ 35. Why do fewer people write letters today? ________________________________________________ 36. What kind of people can receive letters from warmletters.com? ________________________________________________ 37. Would you like to be a letter writer like Anna? Why or why not?
