David Thompson sat on a hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and the older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. David had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new!
He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher, Mr. John Adam, was from Harvard College. David’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire David. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days.
“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles (幼虫和甲虫). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells (壳).”
David watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next?” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself.
David and his friends liked this new way of learning.
“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars and notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology (神话), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”
“How is the new schoolmaster?” asked David’s father that evening, when David announced he was going out to look at the sky.
“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” David admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom!”
“So Mr. John Adams and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked David’s father.
“I believe he has,” said David. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us!”
4. What does the underlined word “drone” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Clear speaking voices. B. Low dull sounds.
C. Enthusiastic responses. D. High spirits.
5. Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children?
A. “It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons...” B. “See if you can describe their shells…”
C. “Go outside and look at the sky...” D. “Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories ...”
6. From paragraph 9, we can learn that ______.
A. David’s father had met the new schoolmaster B. David had thought poorly of school before
C. David’s father was not satisfied with the new ways D. David had shown his father his homework
7. What is the main idea of this story?
A. Science is all around us. B. School provides us with the best education.
C. There is more than one way to learn. D. Homework is an important part of education.
C
My brother once said, “I’d love for us all to live together, but it’s just not practical.” This reflects a Western way of thinking that values independence over living with family. However, as housing costs rise and families face elder care challenges, this way of thinking is changing. Living with several generations — common in places like China — is becoming popular in the UK.
Recent reports showed that 1.8 million UK households now include two or more adult generations. Census (人口普查) data showed that 71 percent of Britons would consider it in the future. Money is a big reason: The cost-of-living crisis makes sharing rent, utilities (水电费) and groceries practical. For aging parents, avoiding expensive care facilities lowers financial pressure. However, focusing only on money misses the deeper benefits.
Living together isn’t just about sharing bills; it’s about sharing lives. It creates support systems: Grandparents look after children, adults help with chores and teens learn patience and care from elders. In a society facing loneliness, especially among seniors, being close allows daily contact that phone calls can’t replace. My brother’s wish for a “big house” wasn’t only old memories — it showed that separated families often miss these moments.
Of course, there are challenges. Privacy concerns, different routines and small spaces require give-and-take (互相谦让). But modern design, from granny flats to shared common areas, can help. The key is to set boundaries while respecting each other.
Some people say living with several generations feels like going backward. I see it as progress: using tradition to solve modern problems. China’s model worked not because of duty, but because it understood that family members need each other. As we rethink aging, childcare and housing costs in the West, combining households offers more than just saving money — it can bring back the sense of community we’ve lost.
Living with several generations isn’t for everyone, but calling it “impractical” ignores its potential. It is a caring response to today’s pressures, one that turns “my burden (负担)” into “our shared life”. Let’s stop seeing it as a sacrifice and start valuing it as a choice worth considering.
8. What does the author suggest about the Western view of family life?
A. It prefers wealth to relationships.
B. It sees independence as important.
C. It values privacy more than support.
D It ignores tradition in modern times.
9. What deeper role of multi-generational living does the author highlight?
A. It strengthens family connections.
B. It encourages respect for traditions.
C. It prepares children for adulthood.
D. It reduces dependence on society.
10. Why does the author mention China’s model of living?
A. To criticize Western values.
B. To provide a cultural difference.
C. To show a successful example.
D. To defend traditional duties.
11. What does the author consider multi-generational living?
A. It is modern yet imperfect.
B. It is practical yet a short-term fix.
C. It is outdated but unavoidable.
D. It is challenging but helpful.
D
What did you have for breakfast today? And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When you think back to these events, you’re using episodic memory (情景记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up?
Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the US believe this is thanks to a “memory reset button” in our brainstem (脑干). This small region, called the locus coeruleus (蓝斑核) , helps organize and separate our memories.
In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner (核磁共振扫描仪), they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, several simple tones were played over and over again, first in one ear and then in the other with a different pitch (音调). The pitch change aimed to change the context (情境) and create an event boundary.
According to a previous study by Kansas State University in the US, event boundaries help the brain organize episodic memory by changing our perception (感知) and attention. Ever walked into a room and suddenly forgot why? That’s an event boundary — entering or exiting a room — at work.
After the experiment, scientists tested how well the volunteers could recall the order of the pictures. The result showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound made the brain store memories separately. What’s more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise.
Earlier research showed that the hippocampus (海马体), another brain region, helps shape episodic memory by both linking events close together in time and separating those further apart. But what tells the hippocampus when to change modes? MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may provide the critical ‘start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, ‘Hey, we’re in a new event now’,” said Lila Davachi, one of the researchers.
The new understanding could lead to better treatments for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls.
12. How does the author introduce the research in the beginning?
A. By sharing experiences. B. By raising questions.
C. By imagining scenes. D. By explaining a theory.
13. What was the purpose of playing tones with different pitches in the experiment?
A. To create real-life situations. B. To test volunteers’ hearing ability.
C. To mark a shift to a new context. D. To increase the difficulty of the task.
14. What did the MRI scans reveal about the locus coeruleus during the experiment?
A. It showed higher activity at event boundaries.
B. It sent signals to the hippocampus regularly.
C. It controlled volunteers’ memory recall order.
D. It helped link pictures to specific sounds.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The difficulty of treating memory-related disease.
B. The potential applications of the research findings.
C. The drawbacks of the small-scale experiment.
D. The future research directions for memory.
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。
Active Listening: A Key Skill for Effective Communication
Active listening is a communication skill that goes beyond simply hearing words and involves fully taking part and understanding the speaker’s message. Importantly, it is a significant part in effective communication. ____16____ Here are some strategies to improve your active listening skills.
Give full attention to the speaker. Active listening requires being fully present in the conversation, observing the speaker’s body language, and facial expressions to avoid negative responses. It also requires listening to the speaker with all your senses, including sight, sound and so on. ____17____ For example, when you are chatting, put away your cellphones or stay away from a funny TV show.
Maintain good eye contact with the conversation partner. When taking part in active listening, making eye contact is especially important. ____18____ However, if we fix our eyes on your conversation partners all the time, it will make them embarrassed, which will probably end the conversation. To avoid it, follow the 50/70 rule, which means keeping eye contact for 50% to 70% of the time spent listening, holding contact for four to five seconds before looking away.
____19____ Active listening involves asking follow-up questions, or summarizing the main points to show that we have paid attention. Additionally, reflecting on their words and offering proper responses can help create a productive dialogue. Responding should be supportive and respectful, allowing for further discussion and deeper understanding.
By actively listening, we can create stronger connections, and promote trust and respect in our relationships. Remember, active listening goes beyond simply hearing. ____20____
A. Respond properly to the speaker.
B. Reflect on the responses of the speaker.
C It focuses on the way you answer the speaker.
D. It shows that you are truly interested in what they say.
E. The fact, however, is that many people often fail in active listening.
F. It also involves improving communication quality and connecting with others.
G. To use this technique effectively, we’d better not do other things at the same time.

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a sparrow (麻雀) perched (栖息) on their window.
The father asked his son, “What’s this?” The son replied, “It’s a sparrow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What’s this?” The son said, “Dad, just now I told you that it’s a sparrow!”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What’s this?”
At this time, some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a refusal (生硬回绝), “It’s a sparrow! A sparrow!” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What’s this?”
This time, the son couldn’t contain his anger and shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A SPARROW’? Are you not able to understand this?”
A little while later, the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (破烂的,破旧的) diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a sparrow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 21 times what it was, and I replied to him all 21 times that it was a sparrow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not feel angry at all but I rather felt affection (喜爱) for my innocent (纯真的) son.”

David Thompson sat on a hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and the older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. David had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new!
He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher, Mr. John Adam, was from Harvard College. David’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire David. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days.
“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles (幼虫和甲虫). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells (壳).”
David watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next?” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself.
David and his friends liked this new way of learning.
“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars and notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology (神话), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”
“How is the new schoolmaster?” asked David’s father that evening, when David announced he was going out to look at the sky.
“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” David admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom!”
“So Mr. John Adams and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked David’s father.
“I believe he has,” said David. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us!”
4. What does the underlined word “drone” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Clear speaking voices. B. Low dull sounds.
C. Enthusiastic responses. D. High spirits.
5. Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children?
A. “It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons...” B. “See if you can describe their shells…”
C. “Go outside and look at the sky...” D. “Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories ...”
6. From paragraph 9, we can learn that ______.
A. David’s father had met the new schoolmaster B. David had thought poorly of school before
C. David’s father was not satisfied with the new ways D. David had shown his father his homework
7. What is the main idea of this story?

My brother once said, “I’d love for us all to live together, but it’s just not practical.” This reflects a Western way of thinking that values independence over living with family. However, as housing costs rise and families face elder care challenges, this way of thinking is changing. Living with several generations — common in places like China — is becoming popular in the UK.
Recent reports showed that 1.8 million UK households now include two or more adult generations. Census (人口普查) data showed that 71 percent of Britons would consider it in the future. Money is a big reason: The cost-of-living crisis makes sharing rent, utilities (水电费) and groceries practical. For aging parents, avoiding expensive care facilities lowers financial pressure. However, focusing only on money misses the deeper benefits.
Living together isn’t just about sharing bills; it’s about sharing lives. It creates support systems: Grandparents look after children, adults help with chores and teens learn patience and care from elders. In a society facing loneliness, especially among seniors, being close allows daily contact that phone calls can’t replace. My brother’s wish for a “big house” wasn’t only old memories — it showed that separated families often miss these moments.
Of course, there are challenges. Privacy concerns, different routines and small spaces require give-and-take (互相谦让). But modern design, from granny flats to shared common areas, can help. The key is to set boundaries while respecting each other.
Some people say living with several generations feels like going backward. I see it as progress: using tradition to solve modern problems. China’s model worked not because of duty, but because it understood that family members need each other. As we rethink aging, childcare and housing costs in the West, combining households offers more than just saving money — it can bring back the sense of community we’ve lost.
Living with several generations isn’t for everyone, but calling it “impractical” ignores its potential. It is a caring response to today’s pressures, one that turns “my burden (负担)” into “our shared life”. Let’s stop seeing it as a sacrifice and start valuing it as a choice worth considering.
8. What does the author suggest about the Western view of family life?
A. It prefers wealth to relationships.
B. It sees independence as important.
C. It values privacy more than support.
D. It ignores tradition in modern times.
9. What deeper role of multi-generational living does the author highlight?
A. It strengthens family connections.
B. It encourages respect for traditions.
C. It prepares children for adulthood.
D. It reduces dependence on society.
10. Why does the author mention China’s model of living?
A. To criticize Western values.
B. To provide a cultural difference.
C. To show a successful example.
D. To defend traditional duties.
11. What does the author consider multi-generational living?
A. It is modern yet imperfect.
B. It is practical yet a short-term fix.
C. It is outdated but unavoidable.
D. It is challenging but helpful.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】

(同住不只是分摊账单,更是共享生活。它形成支持体系:祖父母照顾孩子,成年人帮忙做家务,青少年从长辈那里学习耐心和关心)”以及“being close allows daily contact that phone calls can’t replace (亲密相处的日常联系是电话无法替代的)”可知,共享生活、代际互助和日常联系均指向“家庭联结(family connections)”,作者强调多代同堂能加强家庭联系。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“China’s model worked not because of duty, but because it understood that family members need each other. As we rethink aging, childcare and housing costs in the West, combining households offers more than just saving money — it can bring back the sense of community we’ve lost. (中国模式有效,并非因为责任,而是因为它理解家人彼此需要。当西方社会重新思考养老、育儿和住房成本时,同住不仅省钱,还能找回失去的共同体意识)”可知,“China’s model worked”表明中国模式已被实践证明能满足家庭成员需求。作者提及中国模式,是为了用这个“已被证明可行的案例”,支撑“多代同堂能解决西方当下养老、育儿、住房成本等问题”的观点,属于“提供成功范例”。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Of course, there are challenges. Privacy concerns, different routines and small spaces require give-and-take (互相谦让). (当然,也有挑战。隐私问题,不同的惯例和小空间需要相互让步)”以及最后一段“Living with several generations isn’t for everyone, but calling it ‘impractical’ ignores its potential. It is a caring response to today’s pressures (几代同堂并不适合每个人,但说它“不切实际”忽视了它的潜力。这是对当今压力的关怀回应)”可知,作者认为多代同堂具有挑战性但也是有益的。故选D项。

What did you have for breakfast today? And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When you think back to these events, you’re using episodic memory (情景记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up?
Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the US believe this is thanks to a “memory reset button” in our brainstem (脑干). This small region, called the locus coeruleus (蓝斑核) , helps organize and separate our memories.
In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner (核磁共振扫描仪), they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, several simple tones were played over and over again, first in one ear and then in the other with a different pitch (音调). The pitch change aimed to change the context (情境) and create an event boundary.
According to a previous study by Kansas State University in the US, event boundaries help the brain organize episodic memory by changing our perception (感知) and attention. Ever walked into a room and suddenly forgot why? That’s an event boundary — entering or exiting a room — at work.
After the experiment, scientists tested how well the volunteers could recall the order of the pictures. The result showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound made the brain store memories separately. What’s more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise.
Earlier research showed that the hippocampus (海马体), another brain region, helps shape episodic memory by both linking events close together in time and separating those further apart. But what tells the hippocampus when to change modes? MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may provide the critical ‘start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, ‘Hey, we’re in a new event now’,” said Lila Davachi, one of the researchers.
The new understanding could lead to better treatments for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls.
12. How does the author introduce the research in the beginning?
A. By sharing experiences. B. By raising questions.
C. By imagining scenes. D. By explaining a theory.
13. What was the purpose of playing tones with different pitches in the experiment?
A. To create real-life situations. B. To test volunteers’ hearing ability.
C. To mark a shift to a new context. D. To increase the difficulty of the task.
14. What did the MRI scans reveal about the locus coeruleus during the experiment?
A. It showed higher activity at event boundaries.
B. It sent signals to the hippocampus regularly.
C. It controlled volunteers’ memory recall order.
D. It helped link pictures to specific sounds.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The difficulty of treating memory-related disease.
B. The potential applications of the research findings.
C. The drawbacks of the small-scale experiment.
D. The future research directions for memory.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“What did you have for breakfast today? And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When you think back to these events, you’re using episodic memory (情景记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up? (你今天早餐吃了什么?你上一个生日是怎么过的?当你回想这些事件时,你正在使用情景记忆——回忆与特定时间和地点相关的个人经历的能力。但是你的大脑是如何将这些记忆分开而不混淆的呢)”可知,作者以“What did you have for breakfast today? And how didyou celebrate your last birthday?”两个问题引出“情景记忆”的概念,再通过核心问题“But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up?”引出后续的研究内容。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The pitch change aimed to change the context (情境) and create an event boundary. (音调变化的目的是改变情境并创造一个事件边界)”可知,在实验中播放不同音调的声音是为了标志着向新情境的转变。故选C项。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise. (核磁共振扫描显示,当事件边界出现时,蓝斑核活跃度显著升高,反之则不高)”可知,蓝斑核活跃度在事件边界时活跃度更高。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The new understanding could lead to better treatments for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls. (这一新认知可能为阿尔茨海默病等记忆相关问题带来更好的治疗方法,在那里蓝斑过度活跃。这些疾病可以通过药物、缓慢呼吸甚至减压球来平复蓝斑核)”可知,最后一段围绕研究发现的潜在应用(治疗记忆疾病)展开。B选项“研究发现的潜在应用”符合段落中“为治疗记忆疾病提供思路”的核心内容。故选B项。

Active Listening: A Key Skill for Effective Communication
Active listening is a communication skill that goes beyond simply hearing words and involves fully taking part and understanding the speaker’s message. Importantly, it is a significant part in effective communication. ____16____ Here are some strategies to improve your active listening skills.
Give full attention to the speaker. Active listening requires being fully present in the conversation, observing the speaker’s body language, and facial expressions to avoid negative responses. It also requires listening to the speaker with all your senses, including sight, sound and so on. ____17____ For example, when you are chatting, put away your cellphones or stay away from a funny TV show.
Maintain good eye contact with the conversation partner. When taking part in active listening, making eye contact is especially important. ____18____ However, if we fix our eyes on your conversation partners all the time, it will make them embarrassed, which will probably end the conversation. To avoid it, follow the 50/70 rule, which means keeping eye contact for 50% to 70% of the time spent listening, holding contact for four to five seconds before looking away.
____19____ Active listening involves asking follow-up questions, or summarizing the main points to show that we have paid attention. Additionally, reflecting on their words and offering proper responses can help create a productive dialogue. Responding should be supportive and respectful, allowing for further discussion and deeper understanding.
By actively listening, we can create stronger connections, and promote trust and respect in our relationships. Remember, active listening goes beyond simply hearing. ____20____
A. Respond properly to the speaker.
B. Reflect on the responses of the speaker.
C. It focuses on the way you answer the speaker.
D. It shows that you are truly interested in what they say.
E. The fact, however, is that many people often fail in active listening.
F. It also involves improving communication quality and connecting with others.
G. To use this technique effectively, we’d better not do other things at the same time.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. D 19. A 20. F

52. 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。
An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a sparrow (麻雀) perched (栖息) on their window.
The father asked his son, “What’s this?” The son replied, “It’s a sparrow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What’s this?” The son said, “Dad, just now I told you that it’s a sparrow!”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What’s this?”
At this time, some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a refusal (生硬回绝), “It’s a sparrow! A sparrow!” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What’s this?”
This time, the son couldn’t contain his anger and shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A SPARROW’? Are you not able to understand this?”
A little while later, the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (破烂的,破旧的) diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a sparrow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 21 times what it was, and I replied to him all 21 times that it was a sparrow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not feel angry at all but I rather felt affection (喜爱) for my innocent (纯真的) son.”

After reading the diary, the son’s eyes were filled with tears, his mind flooding back to his childhood. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
After reading the diary, the son’s eyes were filled with tears, his mind flooding back to his childhood. As a curious child, every time he asked something simple and childish, his father would always answer with endless patience. He remembered his father’s gentle voice and loving hugs, which never showed any sign of annoyance, no matter how many times the same question was repeated. Now, as his father grew old and began to behave like a child, he realized he had failed to return that patience and tenderness. Suddenly, a strong wave of regret swept over him. It finally dawned on the son that while he gained knowledge through education, he had lost the most important lesson his father had taught him: unconditional love.
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. “Dad, I’m so sorry for being so rude to you and shouting at you,” the son whispered, his voice trembling with emotion, “It was you who offered me love and support when I was young. Now it’s my turn to pay you back.” His father helped him up slowly, a soft smile appearing on his wrinkled face. “It’s all right, my son. I just want to hear your voice and feel that you are still with me,” he murmured. They held each other in a tight, long hug. At that moment, the son made a promise to himself that he would cherish every remaining day with his father and keep him company to repay that lifelong love before it’s too late.
