In a university rehearsal hall, he performs Xinjiang’s eagle dance gracefully, across the globe, he wanders museums and art galleries, seeking the beauty of distant cultures and long-lost histories. This may seem the daily life of an artist, but in reality, it belongs to Dawulijan Yerhalik,a young archaeologist (考古学家) who “converses with the earth” and devotes himself to uncovering Xinjiang’s ancient secrets.
Born in Hutubi County, Xinjiang, Dawulijan spent his high school years in Suzhou and studied archaeology at Peking University for a full decade, finally earning his doctoral degree. His career path took clear shape in Professor Lin Meicun’s Silk Road Archaeology class: a slide of Xinjiang’s Kangjia Shimenzi Petroglyphs (岩画) left him astonished by his lack of knowledge about his hometown’s precious heritage. In that very moment, a deep connection to archaeology was established, and he determined to focus on Silk Road and Xinjiang archaeological research.
His fieldwork journey started at the Tonggusibaxi Site in Aksu, where he perfected foundational skills like soil texture identification and trowel use under Professor Chen Ling’s careful guidance. He finds excavating sites (发掘遗址) used across multiple historical periods the most complex yet fascinating part of the work, as each layer reveals unique traces of ancient human activity. In 2024, his team made a landmark discovery at the Tangchaodun site — pieces of Chinese-written Buddhist scrolls. It was the first time such items had been found in the northern Tianshan foothills, providing critical material for studying how Buddhist texts spread in the Western Regions.
For Dawulijan, Xinjiang is a unique archaeological treasure, and his work is a sacred mission to tell Xinjiang’s rich and vivid stories to the world.
4. The underlined word “converses” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A vintage lifestyle (复古生活方式) is a way of living that embraces the charm, elegance, and simplicity of the past. It emphasizes old-fashioned styles: decorate your home with classic furniture, vintage decorations and timeless art to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere that’s far from modern fast-paced life. It embraces slow living, prioritizing quality over quantity — spend more time on meaningful activities and less on rushing through daily tasks. Additionally, it values handmade goods, such as those from knitting, woodworking or other traditional skills, which builds a deeper connection to the creation process.
Embrace the vintage lifestyle by starting small and adding a few vintage elements into your daily routine. Create a space that reflects your personal style, explore local second-hand markets or antique stores, and experiment with traditional recipes. Over time, these little steps can transform your life into a richer, more meaningful experience.
Gen Z’s fascination with the vintage lifestyle is by no means a blind trend — it is rooted in profound underlying reasons. Gen Z values individuality and authenticity (真实性). Vintage clothing provides a unique style, often standing out from the sea of mass-produced, same items found in today’s market. The wearers of vintage pieces can feel part of a select group, owning something truly one-of-a-kind. Besides, Many Gen Z individuals view vintage shopping as a cultural experience rather than just a purchase. The thrill of discovering hidden treasures in second-hand markets adds to the appeal, making it about the journey rather than the destination. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have also played a significant role in popularizing vintage styles among Gen Z. Seeing influencers and peers embrace vintage looks normalizes and celebrates vintage fashion, making it cooler and more accessible.
The rise of vintage culture isn’t just about clothes; it’s a broader cultural phenomenon. Gen Z is drawn to the stories behind vintage items, the craftsmanship, and the connection to history. This shift reflects a larger societal change where consumers are increasingly seeking meaningful, lasting purchases rather than quick fixes.

For years, global climate models relied on an elegant and convenient idea. Black carbon particles were treated as regular spheres (圆球) with a single core of carbon. Its unique structure helped shape how scientists assessed the warming effects of black carbon worldwide. Yet it also carried a hidden assumption: that each particle contained only one core. As measurements built up, a troubling gap arose. Observations in the real atmosphere consistently showed that black carbon absorbed roughly 50% more light than models predicted.
The answer began to appear during fieldwork conducted in Yunnan’s wildfire season. What they saw challenged the traditional picture. About one-fifth, or 21%, of black carbon particles in long-range transported wildfire smoke contained not one core, but two or more. These multi-core particles were especially common among larger air particles exceeding 400 nanometers (纳米) in width. Instead of a single carbon center, these particles resembled groups formed through crashing and combining, with individual cores often exceeding 200 nanometers in size. This structure had largely gone unnoticed in global climate models. Yet its effects were great. If black carbon particles commonly carry multiple cores, their ability to absorb light changes dramatically.
Identifying multi-core particles was only the beginning. The researchers faced a second challenge: translating nanoscale observations into global climate predictions. To do this, they turned to machine learning. The team developed a machine learning device capable of quantifying how multi-core structures enhance light absorption. This device was then introduced into a global atmospheric model, allowing the scientists to forecast how these particles behave across the planet.
The results were striking. Multi-core black carbon particles were found to contribute to a 19% increase in global average black carbon absorption. The effect was especially pronounced in wildfire-affected regions, including Southeast Asia, southwestern China, the Tibetan Plateau, Southern Africa, and North America. In these areas, the overlooked structure of black carbon had been quietly boosting warming.
12. What helped scientists evaluate the warming effects of black carbon?
A. The assumed single-core structure of black carbon.
B. Observations of black carbon in the real atmosphere.
C. The light absorption rate of black carbon in the atmosphere.
D. Comparison between model predictions and actual measurements.
13. How does the author present the new discovery in paragraph 2?
A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept.
C. By quoting an expert. D. By providing statistics.
14. Why did the researchers turn to machine learning?
A. To develop light absorption devices. B. To better predict global climate changes.
C. To identify multi-core structures accurately. D. To further observe black carbon’s behaviors.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Wildfire Smoke: A Hidden Climate Trouble.
B. Machine Learning: A Helper for Climate Forecast.
C. Single-core Structure: The Fault in Climate Models.
D. Multi-core Black Carbon: The Overlooked Heat-maker.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述传统全球气候模型将黑碳颗粒视为单碳核规则圆球,与实际大气观测的吸光量存在偏差,研究人员在云南山火季调研发现多核黑碳颗粒这一被忽略的结构,后借助机器学习将该观测结果整合进全球大气模型,发现多核黑碳颗粒使全球黑碳平均吸光量提升,且在山火影响区显著加剧气候变暖。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many families find themselves questioning whether there’s a need for their children to do chores at home. But Dr. Harris believes chores aren’t just about keeping a clean home._____16_____
Assigning regular household duties can enhance children’s cognitive development. According to Dr. Harris, chores strengthen core management skills — the brain’s ability to plan, focus, change between tasks and manage time effectively._____17_____. They develop stronger working memory, better emotional regulation and more mental flexibility.
Chores can foster children’s independence and sense of responsibility at different ages. Younger children love to feel capable. Cleaning up toys or wiping down and setting the table, simple tasks like these develop independence._____18_____. Dr. Harris encourages parents to frame these not as punishments, but as opportunities to grow. When kids feel a sense of ownership, they’re more likely to follow through. And giving them a say in what they do can go a long way.
_____19_____. “One symptom of depression is lack of motivation, and the best solution to that is activity,” Dr. Harris explains. “A set routine, even a small, manageable responsibility can help get kids moving and thinking.” In the case of anxiety, chores can offer a sense of control and predictability. “An anxious brain works well with structure,” she adds. “Doing something real and productive can ease distracting thoughts and provide a break from chaotic thoughts.”
Of course, every minute of a typical family life today can be accounted for, leaving parents to wonder whether to insist on chores at all. Dr. Harris acknowledges this tension and encourages flexibility. “When life gets busy, it’s okay to pull back,” she says. “_____20_____.” Actually, kids don’t need to do everything, but they should do something when they have time.
A. Chores help children build confidence and empathy
B. But when there’s room, lean into those opportunities
C. These are skills that serve them well, far into adulthood
D. Kids who have chores are typically better self-managers
E. Asking kids to help out around the house can have powerful lifelong benefits
F. Chores can also support mental health, particularly for kids with anxiety or depression
G. For older children and teens, tasks can become more complex such as helping cook meals
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. G 19. F 20. B
【解析】

Cleaning up toys or wiping down and setting the table, simple tasks like these develop independence.(在孩子的不同成长阶段,做家务能培养他们的独立性与责任感。低龄儿童渴望感受到自己的能力,收拾玩具、擦桌子、摆餐具,这类简单的家务就能逐步培养他们的独立意识。)”指出本段主要讲述了做家务能在不同年龄段培养孩子的独立和责任感,而且介绍了低龄孩子的简单家务。选项G“For older children and teens, tasks can become more complex such as helping cook meals(对于年龄稍大的孩子和青少年,可安排难度更高的家务,比如帮忙做饭。)”衔接递进,转而讲述大龄儿童和青少年的复杂家务,清晰体现“按年龄梯度安排家务”的逻辑,与本段主旨高度契合。故选G。
【19题详解】
空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据下文““One symptom of depression is lack of motivation, and the best solution to that is activity,” Dr. Harris explains. “A set routine, even a small, manageable responsibility can help get kids moving and thinking.” In the case of anxiety, chores can offer a sense of control and predictability. “An anxious brain works well with structure,” she adds. “Doing something real and productive can ease distracting thoughts and provide a break from chaotic thoughts.”(哈里斯博士解释道:“抑郁症的一个典型症状是缺乏行动力,而应对这一问题的最佳办法,就是让孩子行动起来。固定的日常安排,哪怕只是一项小小的、力所能及的责任,都能推动孩子动起来、思考起来。”对于有焦虑情绪的孩子,做家务能让他们获得掌控感和可预知的安全感。她补充说:“处于焦虑中的大脑,在有条理的节奏中会更易平复,做一些实实在在、有实际价值的事,能抚平那些纷扰的思绪,让混乱的大脑得到片刻喘息。”)”可知,本段主要讲述了做家务能缓解孩子的抑郁、安抚焦虑。选项F“Chores can also support mental health, particularly for kids with anxiety or depression(做家务还能助力孩子的心理健康,尤其对有焦虑或抑郁情绪的孩子而言更是如此。)”精准概括本段核心内容;同时also体现与前文“认知发展、独立责任感培养”的并列递进关系,契合文章的分述逻辑。故选F。
【20题详解】
上文““When life gets busy, it’s okay to pull back,” she says.(她说:“生活忙碌时,暂缓让孩子做家务也无妨。”)”提及生活忙碌时,家长可以暂时不让孩子做家务;而下文“Actually, kids don’t need to do everything, but they should do something when they have time.(事实上,孩子不必事事亲力亲为,但只要有时间,就该做些力所能及的家务。)”强调孩子不必事事做,但有时间时总要做些家务。选项B“But when there’s room, lean into those opportunities(但当生活有空闲时,就该抓住这些机会让孩子参与其中。)”中的“but”与前文形成转折,同时自然引出下文内容,符合逻辑。故选B。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
In the fall of 1993 high school senior Jed Mottley from the Scottsdale, seemed to have it all. But despite Jed’s big smile and outgoing personality, the teen was hiding parts of his home life from classmates — he came from a poor family.
At home, Jed’s mom Gerry raised him and his elder brother Josh alone, working odd jobs to make ends meet. Despite the family’s struggles, Jed describes his mom as loving, artistic, and dedicated to her faith and her kids. And so, of course, Gerry didn’t want her younger son to miss out on a tradition of passage for any school athlete: getting his letterman jacket.
“I remember being at the jacket shop with my mom and brother, and I designed it with Josh,” he says of the jacket — bright red and gold for the Chaparral Firebirds, with his name and letter proudly displayed on the front.
A couple of months later, Jed’s jacket was ready for pickup. The price was expensive — about $300. “And my mom said, ‘We can’t afford it right now. We’ll pick it up next month.” She said the same thing the month after that. “And then it was the end of the school year, and high school was over, and I never got my jacket. I never even got to see the final product,” he says. “It was just one of those regrettable things. Since then, I have never mentioned this regret of mine to my mom or brother again.”
The years that followed brought many changes and events. Jed traded football for rock and roll. His beloved mom passed away in 2012. And Jed and his brother Josh didn’t see each other in a few years. Fast-forward to November 2021. Jed was in Los Angeles, working as a bass player in a local band. Meanwhile, Josh stopped over in Lakeside, Arizona for several days — a place about three hours away from where the brothers had grown up.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: One Wednesday, in a second-hand store, a jacket caught Josh’s eyes!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Under Josh’s gaze, Jed tried on the letterman jacket.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: One Wednesday, in a second-hand store, a jacket caught Josh’s eyes! The jacket looked familiar: its material firm, “Chaparral High School 1994” sewn on the sleeve, and ‘Jed” marked prominently on the front. He froze, breath catching. “Could this be the jacket Jed never got?” He snapped a photo and sent it to his brother at once. Jed replied excitedly immediately, “That’s mine — I designed it with you and Mom!” Josh bought it for $25 on the spot. A week later, the long-separated brothers hugged tightly at the airport, the precious jacket held safely in his arm.
Paragraph 2: Under Josh’s gaze, Jed tried on the letterman jacket. It fit perfectly, still brand-new with the “inspected by” tag, just as it had been decades before. Emotion welled up inside him; he pulled Josh into a tight hug, voice thick with feeling: “Thank you — this means the world” As his fingers traced the sewn lines, Mom’s warm smile and support flashed through his mind. The jacket was more than cloth and thread—it was Mom’s real love, tying the brothers closer than ever.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了1993年高三的Jed因家境贫寒,未能买下和家人一起设计的校队荣誉夹克,成为多年未提的遗憾;此后他告别足球投身摇滚,母亲离世且与哥哥分隔数年,2021年哥哥Josh在二手店意外发现这件夹克并买下,兄弟俩机场重逢,Jed穿上合身如新的夹克,感受到母亲的爱与兄弟羁绊,多年遗憾终得弥补。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“一个周三,Josh在一家二手商店里,被一件夹克吸引了目光。”以及第二段首句内容“在Josh的注视下,Jed穿上了这件校队荣誉夹克。”可知,第一段可描写Josh发现这正是Jed曾经设计的那件夹克,求证之后,Josh买下这件夹克。
②由第二段首句内容“在Josh的注视下,Jed穿上了这件校队荣誉夹克。”可知,第二段可描写Jed非常感动,这件衣服承载了兄弟情。

From improving daily life to major breakthroughs, AI is reshaping how we live and work. Looking ahead, it’s clear that AI will continue to play an even bigger role in influencing the future across different fields.
E-Commerce
Artificial Intelligence in the field of e-commerce helps the organization to establish a good engagement between the user and the company. AI chatbots are used to provide customer support instantly and help to reduce complaints and inquiries to a great extent. Besides, AI allows customers to look through products matched with their interest patterns, which effectively translates into increased conversions (转换).
Agriculture
AI-powered tools can detect various soil characteristics such as water content, moisture levels, and nutrient lack; there are also AI-enabled machines that identify weedy areas and poor soil areas. In terms of pest management, AI can analyze multi-source data to issue early warnings to farmers, and this technology also reduces the use of harmful pesticides (杀虫剂) by providing best pest control solutions. For forecasting, AI has simplified the analysis of weather conditions and crop growth in agriculture, with its algorithms (算法) helping farmers make effective business decisions for crop cultivation.
Travel and Transport
Travel routing and ride-sharing which used real-time traffic for a specific ride are possible due to the use of Artificial Intelligence. In the aspect of planning and personalization, AI uses customer’s historic data along with the real-time data to offer any customized flexible plan under their budget.

In a university rehearsal hall, he performs Xinjiang’s eagle dance gracefully, across the globe, he wanders museums and art galleries, seeking the beauty of distant cultures and long-lost histories. This may seem the daily life of an artist, but in reality, it belongs to Dawulijan Yerhalik,a young archaeologist (考古学家) who “converses with the earth” and devotes himself to uncovering Xinjiang’s ancient secrets.
Born in Hutubi County, Xinjiang, Dawulijan spent his high school years in Suzhou and studied archaeology at Peking University for a full decade, finally earning his doctoral degree. His career path took clear shape in Professor Lin Meicun’s Silk Road Archaeology class: a slide of Xinjiang’s Kangjia Shimenzi Petroglyphs (岩画) left him astonished by his lack of knowledge about his hometown’s precious heritage. In that very moment, a deep connection to archaeology was established, and he determined to focus on Silk Road and Xinjiang archaeological research.
His fieldwork journey started at the Tonggusibaxi Site in Aksu, where he perfected foundational skills like soil texture identification and trowel use under Professor Chen Ling’s careful guidance. He finds excavating sites (发掘遗址) used across multiple historical periods the most complex yet fascinating part of the work, as each layer reveals unique traces of ancient human activity. In 2024, his team made a landmark discovery at the Tangchaodun site — pieces of Chinese-written Buddhist scrolls. It was the first time such items had been found in the northern Tianshan foothills, providing critical material for studying how Buddhist texts spread in the Western Regions.
For Dawulijan, Xinjiang is a unique archaeological treasure, and his work is a sacred mission to tell Xinjiang’s rich and vivid stories to the world.
4. The underlined word “converses” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A. Cooperates. B. Competes. C. Communicates. D. Compares.
5. How did Dawulijan feel during Professor Lin’s class?
A. Impressed. B. Hesitant. C. Uninterested. D. Confident.
6. What does the appeal of multi-period excavation sites lie in?
A. Possibility of making landmark discoveries.
B Chance to polish essential archaeological skills.
C. Rare cultural relics native to northern Tianshan.
D. Unique traces of ancient human activity in each layer.
7. What does Dawulijan’s experience show?
A. High-tech skills are key to professional success.
B. Awards are the best proof of one’s professional value.
C. Love for your roots contributes to a meaningful calling.
D. Preserving cultural heritage is everyone’s shared mission.
C
A vintage lifestyle (复古生活方式) is a way of living that embraces the charm, elegance, and simplicity of the past. It emphasizes old-fashioned styles: decorate your home with classic furniture, vintage decorations and timeless art to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere that’s far from modern fast-paced life. It embraces slow living, prioritizing quality over quantity — spend more time on meaningful activities and less on rushing through daily tasks. Additionally, it values handmade goods, such as those from knitting, woodworking or other traditional skills, which builds a deeper connection to the creation process.
Embrace the vintage lifestyle by starting small and adding a few vintage elements into your daily routine. Create a space that reflects your personal style, explore local second-hand markets or antique stores, and experiment with traditional recipes. Over time, these little steps can transform your life into a richer, more meaningful experience.
Gen Z’s fascination with the vintage lifestyle is by no means a blind trend — it is rooted in profound underlying reasons. Gen Z values individuality and authenticity (真实性). Vintage clothing provides a unique style, often standing out from the sea of mass-produced, same items found in today’s market. The wearers of vintage pieces can feel part of a select group, owning something truly one-of-a-kind. Besides, Many Gen Z individuals view vintage shopping as a cultural experience rather than just a purchase. The thrill of discovering hidden treasures in second-hand markets adds to the appeal, making it about the journey rather than the destination. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have also played a significant role in popularizing vintage styles among Gen Z. Seeing influencers and peers embrace vintage looks normalizes and celebrates vintage fashion, making it cooler and more accessible.
The rise of vintage culture isn’t just about clothes; it’s a broader cultural phenomenon. Gen Z is drawn to the stories behind vintage items, the craftsmanship, and the connection to history. This shift reflects a larger societal change where consumers are increasingly seeking meaningful, lasting purchases rather than quick fixes.
8. What might a vintage lifestyle highlight?
A. Emphasis on traditional goods. B. Pursuit of modern fast-paced life.
C. Preference for quality over quantity. D. Admiration for the complexity of the past.
9. What might the author suggest readers do to embrace a vintage lifestyle?
A. Eat fast food daily for convenience.
B. Decorate houses with furniture in style.
C. Wear vintage clothes in occasional activities.
D. Hunt for vintage pieces at second-hand markets.
10. Why do Gen Z individuals love the vintage lifestyle according to paragraph 3?
A. It makes them feel like no other. B. It draws them to influencer culture.
C. It attracts them to purchase and shop. D. It helps them follow fashion trends.
11. What do the underlined words “quick fixes” possibly refer to in the last paragraph?
A. Meaningless trendy clothes. B. Short-lived daily goods.
C Lasting handmade products. D. Valuable collectible items.
D
For years, global climate models relied on an elegant and convenient idea. Black carbon particles were treated as regular spheres (圆球) with a single core of carbon. Its unique structure helped shape how scientists assessed the warming effects of black carbon worldwide. Yet it also carried a hidden assumption: that each particle contained only one core. As measurements built up, a troubling gap arose. Observations in the real atmosphere consistently showed that black carbon absorbed roughly 50% more light than models predicted.
The answer began to appear during fieldwork conducted in Yunnan’s wildfire season. What they saw challenged the traditional picture. About one-fifth, or 21%, of black carbon particles in long-range transported wildfire smoke contained not one core, but two or more. These multi-core particles were especially common among larger air particles exceeding 400 nanometers (纳米) in width. Instead of a single carbon center, these particles resembled groups formed through crashing and combining, with individual cores often exceeding 200 nanometers in size. This structure had largely gone unnoticed in global climate models. Yet its effects were great. If black carbon particles commonly carry multiple cores, their ability to absorb light changes dramatically.
Identifying multi-core particles was only the beginning. The researchers faced a second challenge: translating nanoscale observations into global climate predictions. To do this, they turned to machine learning. The team developed a machine learning device capable of quantifying how multi-core structures enhance light absorption. This device was then introduced into a global atmospheric model, allowing the scientists to forecast how these particles behave across the planet.
The results were striking. Multi-core black carbon particles were found to contribute to a 19% increase in global average black carbon absorption. The effect was especially pronounced in wildfire-affected regions, including Southeast Asia, southwestern China, the Tibetan Plateau, Southern Africa, and North America. In these areas, the overlooked structure of black carbon had been quietly boosting warming.
12. What helped scientists evaluate the warming effects of black carbon?
A. The assumed single-core structure of black carbon.
B. Observations of black carbon in the real atmosphere.
C. The light absorption rate of black carbon in the atmosphere.
D. Comparison between model predictions and actual measurements.
13. How does the author present the new discovery in paragraph 2?
A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept.
C. By quoting an expert. D. By providing statistics.
14. Why did the researchers turn to machine learning?
A. To develop light absorption devices. B. To better predict global climate changes.
C. To identify multi-core structures accurately. D. To further observe black carbon’s behaviors.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Wildfire Smoke: A Hidden Climate Trouble.
B. Machine Learning: A Helper for Climate Forecast.
C. Single-core Structure: The Fault in Climate Models.
D. Multi-core Black Carbon: The Overlooked Heat-maker.

Many families find themselves questioning whether there’s a need for their children to do chores at home. But Dr. Harris believes chores aren’t just about keeping a clean home._____16_____
Assigning regular household duties can enhance children’s cognitive development. According to Dr. Harris, chores strengthen core management skills — the brain’s ability to plan, focus, change between tasks and manage time effectively._____17_____. They develop stronger working memory, better emotional regulation and more mental flexibility.
Chores can foster children’s independence and sense of responsibility at different ages. Younger children love to feel capable. Cleaning up toys or wiping down and setting the table, simple tasks like these develop independence._____18_____. Dr. Harris encourages parents to frame these not as punishments, but as opportunities to grow. When kids feel a sense of ownership, they’re more likely to follow through. And giving them a say in what they do can go a long way.
_____19_____. “One symptom of depression is lack of motivation, and the best solution to that is activity,” Dr. Harris explains. “A set routine, even a small, manageable responsibility can help get kids moving and thinking.” In the case of anxiety, chores can offer a sense of control and predictability. “An anxious brain works well with structure,” she adds. “Doing something real and productive can ease distracting thoughts and provide a break from chaotic thoughts.”
Of course, every minute of a typical family life today can be accounted for, leaving parents to wonder whether to insist on chores at all. Dr. Harris acknowledges this tension and encourages flexibility. “When life gets busy, it’s okay to pull back,” she says. “_____20_____.” Actually, kids don’t need to do everything, but they should do something when they have time.

In the fall of 1993, high school senior Jed Mottley from the Scottsdale, seemed to have it all. But despite Jed’s big smile and outgoing personality, the teen was hiding parts of his home life from classmates — he came from a poor family.
At home, Jed’s mom Gerry raised him and his elder brother Josh alone, working odd jobs to make ends meet. Despite the family’s struggles, Jed describes his mom as loving, artistic, and dedicated to her faith and her kids. And so, of course, Gerry didn’t want her younger son to miss out on a tradition of passage for any school athlete: getting his letterman jacket.
“I remember being at the jacket shop with my mom and brother, and I designed it with Josh,” he says of the jacket — bright red and gold for the Chaparral Firebirds, with his name and letter proudly displayed on the front.
A couple of months later, Jed’s jacket was ready for pickup. The price was expensive — about $300. “And my mom said, ‘We can’t afford it right now. We’ll pick it up next month.” She said the same thing the month after that. “And then it was the end of the school year, and high school was over, and I never got my jacket. I never even got to see the final product,” he says. “It was just one of those regrettable things. Since then, I have never mentioned this regret of mine to my mom or brother again.”
The years that followed brought many changes and events. Jed traded football for rock and roll. His beloved mom passed away in 2012. And Jed and his brother Josh didn’t see each other in a few years. Fast-forward to November 2021. Jed was in Los Angeles, working as a bass player in a local band. Meanwhile, Josh stopped over in Lakeside, Arizona for several days — a place about three hours away from where the brothers had grown up.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

Paragraph 1: One Wednesday, in a second-hand store, a jacket caught Josh’s eyes!
