B
“We had the experience but missed the meaning,” T. S. Eliot wrote in 1941. Recently, I’ve been thinking the same about my four years at Stanford.
Some things were immediately obvious: that the world was more interesting than I had guessed; that not everything I had learned in high school was true; that I would never live in a more beautiful place than the Foothills by the Bay.
But other meanings didn’t unfold for decades. As an English major, I read King Lear three times, but I didn’t connect with the play until I became a professor and had to teach it. Only then did I begin to feel the weight of Lear’s sorrow and regret.
Marjorie Perloff, then a rising star, introduced me to poet Frank O’Hara. At 18, I hadn’t lived enough to recognize what he was writing about. I hadn’t learned to appreciate the art of his seeming artlessness. He just seemed lazy.
In 1992, my senior year, Perloff hosted a conference on a composer known for his rule-breaking style, John Cage. Privately, I considered Cage a harmless pretender. His most famous piece, 4'33", centers on one or more musicians doing nothing at all. It reminded me of a Batman show where a blank painting wins an art contest.
It wasn’t until my 50s that I made an effort to understand Cage. I was writing a book about creativity. It was time to give him a second listen. I learned that his approach changed after reading the I Ching, a Chinese text that assigns meaning to random numbers. Cage used coin tosses to choose notes — random in note height, length, and volume. He wanted listeners to hear sound, not tune.
You can study Cage and still not enjoy his music. Perloff once said he might be remembered more for his writings than his music. Her frankness was liberating then and still is.
Some meanings take time.
24. What does the author imply about the experience of reading King Lear?
A. He disagreed with the themes in the play. B. He was fond of reading classics in college.
C. He turned a professor to understand the play. D. He finally got the play’s message later in life.
25. What does the author think of John Cage’s music at first?
A. Empty and lacking art. B. Suggestive of movies.
C. Pioneering in styling. D. Worth listening to again.
26. What motivated the author to give John Cage’s music a second listen?
A. His research for a book on creativity. B. Cage’s experimental approach to music.
C. His interest in other musicians’ opinions. D. The I Ching’s influence on Cage’s music.
27. What is the author trying to express in this article?
A. What he experienced at Stanford. B. Why music styles are important.
C. What Eliot’s view on writing is. D. How his views changed over time.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者结合斯坦福求学时读《李尔王》、接触凯奇音乐等经历,讲述自己年轻时无法理解这些作品,晚年才领会其内涵,道出有些意义需要时间才能领悟的道理。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As an English major, I read King Lear three times, but I didn’t connect with the play until I became a professor and had to teach it. Only then did I begin to feel the weight of Lear’s sorrow and regret.(作为英语专业的学生,我读了三遍《李尔王》,但直到成为教授不得不教授这部剧时,才产生共鸣。直到那时,我才开始体会到李尔王的悲伤与悔恨带来的沉重感。)”可知,作者直到晚年才真正理解《李尔王》所传递的内涵。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Privately, I considered Cage a harmless pretender. His most famous piece, 4'33", centers on one or more musicians doing nothing at all. It reminded me of a Batman show where a blank painting wins an art contest.(私下里,我认为凯奇只是个无伤大雅的伪艺术家。他最著名的作品《4分33秒》,核心就是让一个或多个音乐家全程不做任何演奏。这让我想起蝙蝠侠里一幅空白画作赢得艺术比赛的情节。)” 可知,作者最初认为约翰・凯奇的音乐空洞且缺乏艺术感。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“It wasn’t until my 50s that I made an effort to understand Cage. I was writing a book about creativity. It was time to give him a second listen.(直到50多岁,我才开始努力去理解凯奇。当时我正在写一本关于创造力的书,是时候重新去聆听他的作品了。)”可知,作者为撰写一本关于创造力的书做研究,这促使他重新聆听约翰・凯奇的音乐。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容特别是第三段“But other meanings didn’t unfold for decades. As an English major, I read King Lear three times, but I didn’t connect with the play until I became a professor and had to teach it. Only then did I begin to feel the weight of Lear’s sorrow and regret.(但其他深意,时隔数十年才逐渐浮现。我大学主修英语,曾把《李尔王》读了三遍,却直到成为教授、不得不讲授这部剧时,才与它产生共鸣。也唯有彼时,我才真正体会到李尔王那份悲恸与悔恨的沉重。)”可知,作者以斯坦福大学就读时读《李尔王》、接触弗兰克・奥哈拉的诗歌、认识约翰・凯奇的音乐为例,讲述自己年轻时无法理解这些作品,而到了晚年才逐渐领会其内涵,核心表达了自己的观点随时间推移发生的改变。故选D项。
C
Researchers showed people pictures of two knots (绳结) and asked them to point to the strongest one. They couldn’t. They showed people videos of each knot, where the knots turn slowly so they could get a good long look. They still failed. People couldn’t even manage it when researchers showed them each knot next to a diagram of the knots’ construction.
The study in the journal Open Mind reveals a new blind spot in our physical reasoning. The experiment is the brainchild of a PhD student in Firestone’s lab, Sholei Croom. Croom, who studies intuitive (直觉的) physics, or what people understand about the environment just from looking at it, suspected knots might be a rare blind spot.
“People make predictions all the time about how the physics of the world will play out but something about knots didn’t feel intuitive to me,” Croom says. “You don’t need to touch a pile of books to judge its stability. You don’t have to feel a bowling ball to guess how many pins it will knock over.”
The researchers showed participants four knots that are physically similar but have a range of strength. People were asked to look at the knots, two at a time, and point to the strongest one.
Participants were consistently incorrect. What’s more, the few times they guessed right, they did so for the wrong reasons, pointing to aspects of the knot that had nothing to do with its strength. The knots ranged from one of the strongest basic knots in existence to one so weak that it can come undone if you just touch it gently. Even between those two, side by side, people couldn’t point to the strong one.
The human psychological system just fails to ascertain any physical knowledge from the properties of the knot. Objects that aren’t rigid, such as string, may be harder for people to reason about than solid ones, Croom says. “It’s a nice case study into how many open questions still remain in our ability to reason about the environment.”
28. Why does Croom design the study?
A. To test the strength of different types of knots. B. To explore ways in predicting patterns of knots.
C. To test the visual judgment of knot strength. D. To measure the intuitive effects of knot tying.
29. Why does Croom mention judging a “pile of books” and a “bowling ball”?
A. To list common tasks in intuitive physics studies.
B. To contrast easy judgments with the knot challenge.
C. To prove that physical reasoning is always accurate.
D. To argue for the need to touch objects for judgment.
30. What can be inferred about the participants in the study?
A. They performed better when shown turning videos.
B They correctly identified knots based on key features.
C. Their correct guesses were not based on relevant clues.
D. They lacked any personal experience with tying knots.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A Brief Introduction to Different Types of Knots
B. A New Blind Spot in Human Perception Found
C. How Intuitive Physics Helps Understand the World
D. Why Some People Are Better at Judging Knot Strength
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现人类在判断绳结强度方面存在盲点。
28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Croom, who studies intuitive (直觉的) physics, or what people understand about the environment just from looking at it, suspected knots might be a rare blind spot.(Croom研究直觉物理,即人们仅通过观察就能理解的环境,他怀疑绳结可能是一个罕见的盲点)”和第四段“The researchers showed participants four knots that are physically similar but have a range of strength. People were asked to look at the knots, two at a time, and point to the strongest one.(研究人员向参与者展示了四种物理上相似但强度不同的绳结。人们被要求一次看两个绳结,并指出最强的一个)”可知,Croom设计这项研究是为了测试人们对绳结强度的视觉判断。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““People make predictions all the time about how the physics of the world will play out but something about knots didn’t feel intuitive to me,” Croom says. “You don’t need to touch a pile of books to judge its stability. You don’t have to feel a bowling ball to guess how many pins it will knock over.”(“人们总是会对世界的物理现象如何发展做出预测,但关于绳结的事,我总觉得有些不太直观,”Croom说。“你不需要碰一堆书来判断它的稳定性。你也不必摸保龄球来猜测它能撞倒多少个球瓶。”)”可推知,Croom提到判断“一堆书”和“保龄球”是为了将容易做出的判断与绳结的挑战进行对比,说明绳结的判断不像其他物体那样直观。故选B。
30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“What’s more, the few times they guessed right, they did so for the wrong reasons, pointing to aspects of the knot that had nothing to do with its strength.(更重要的是,他们猜对的几次也是出于错误的原因,他们指出的是与绳结强度无关的方面)”可推知,参与者正确的猜测并不是基于相关的线索。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“The study in the journal Open Mind reveals a new blind spot in our physical reasoning.(发表在《开放思维》杂志上的这项研究揭示了我们在物理推理中的一个新盲点)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了研究发现人类在判断绳结强度方面存在盲点。由此可知,选项B“A New Blind Spot in Human Perception Found(发现人类感知中的一个新盲点)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。
D
Planting trees alone won’t stop global warming, and nature-based climate solutions are not a licence to keep emitting (排放). That’s the underlying message of a paper published last fall in Nature by a group of climate scientists.
Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets.
Nature-based climate solutions and carbon offsets distract from what we know is the problem: the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. They go up, and we need them to come down. The best thing to do is stop letting them go up in the first place. But we also have to get them down — permanently, not attached to a tree. Claiming “I’m not going to cut down that tree over there if you give me money” is not a carbon offset. It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly.
The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn't reflect the time periods involved. When we burn fossil carbon, really what we’re doing is taking ancient forests that died and became coal over tens of millions of years — at high pressures deep under the Earth's surface — and we’re putting that up in the atmosphere in just a few decades and expecting a tree to grow and somehow be an offset. A tree lives for 100 years and then dies and gives the carbon back to the atmosphere. That’s why we refer to geological (地质的) net zero. It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage.
32. What is the idea of the group of scientists?
A. Planting trees is the best way to stop global warming.
B. Nature-based climate solutions really work very well.
C. Buying carbon credits is effective net-zero emissions.
D. The logic of offsets, maybe imperfect, is to be discussed.
33. How does the writer explain not cutting down a tree for money as a silly idea in para.3?
A. By definition. B. By comparison. C. By analysis. D. By description.
34. What is the problem when people try to understand net zero?
A. They turn a blind eye to the relevant durations. B. They overemphasize the direct air capture ability.
C. They overestimate the number of trees needed. D. They fail to consider the geological reserve ability.
35. What does the underlined word “sequestered” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Released. B. Produced. C. Stored. D. Destroyed.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要论述了科学家认为仅靠植树不能阻止全球变暖,碳抵消逻辑存在问题,应实现地质净零。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets.(其中一位科学家韦弗表示,化石燃料公司和主要污染者越来越多地购买碳信用额来抵消其温室气体排放,但这反映出他们对实现净零排放和阻止全球变暖失控所需付出的努力存在误解。韦弗讨论了抵消的逆逻辑)”可知,科学家们认为碳抵消的逻辑有待讨论,也许并不完美。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly.(这就像我对你说:“给我1万美元;否则,我就去汽车经销商那里买一辆大型、高油耗的SUV。”这太愚蠢了)”可知,作者通过比较来解释不砍树换钱是个愚蠢的想法。故选B。
34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn’t reflect the time periods involved.(我们目前对净零的理解存在的问题是,它没有反映所涉及的时间段)”可知,人们在试图理解净零时存在的问题是他们忽视了相关的时间段。故选A。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage.(这意味着化石燃料的排放必须通过永久_____在地质储备中的碳来平衡,无论是通过碳捕获和储存还是直接空气捕获和储存)”可知,碳捕获和储存或直接空气捕获和储存都是为了将碳储存起来,因此可以推断出“sequestered”在此处的意思是“储存”。故选C。

___39___ Dolly refused to take money for my haircut while Vasanti and Vinta took care of me. A stranger at a church rescued me from a crowd and said gently, “I will be your father.” That moment stayed with me more than the writings the others saw.
The difference between me and Indian women is what we wear.
Micro-loans help Indian women start businesses, send children to school, and improve their homes.___40___“While men are making war, we women are cooking soup and raising children,” I said. We were more alike than different.
I spent four winters volunteering there. It wasn’t escape— it was purpose.

【答案】Dear Editor,
I'm Li Hua, a student from our school. I think the “AI into Campus” activity is really meaningful. It can help us learn more about AI technology, which is important for our future, and also makes our campus life more colorful.
Here's my specific suggestion: hold an “AI Story Creation Workshop”. We can invite AI experts to guide us. First, experts will teach us how to use AI tools (like DeepSeek) to generate story ideas. Then, each of us will create a short story with AI's help, and share it in class. Finally, we can select the best stories to display on the school website. This workshop can let us experience AI’s creativity and improve our writing skills.
I hope my suggestion is helpful.
Yours sincerely,

“Ready?” said her uncle, wearing artificial ice lynx (猞猁) fur. He already knew the answer, but Mira said it anyway: “Yes.” When her uncle and the other scientists climbed into the rowboat, Mira took her place, ignoring their doubtful looks.
As they rowed through the moving ice, Mira narrowed her eyes at the shore, hoping to see the legendary animal she had often dreamed about. But she quickly reminded herself that the ice lynx no longer existed, and real scientists didn’t chase after unrealistic dreams.
The team had been sent by the Academy to study the widening channel and the rising temperature each summer. For the businessmen, the melting ice meant longer trading seasons, but the scientists saw signs of change that no one yet understood. This was her uncle’s third Survey — and Mira’s first. Her dream was to join theAcademy one day and be known for a great discovery.
At the edge of the ice, her uncle handed her a small bag: an enlarging glass, tweezers (镊子), and specimen bottles. All the great mammals of the Ice Sheet were gone, but tiny beetles and crystal spiders still lived there. Each small discovery could help the Academy learn how life survived in the melting cold.
Mira collected the insects with eager curiosity, driven by the hope of making her own contribution. Yet, as she watched the little creatures move around in her bottles, a feeling of guilt crept in. She worried she was being too sentimental for an ambitious scientist.
Then, the wind began to howl, and a terrible storm struck, bringing with it blinding snow. Reaching for her flare gun (信号枪), Mira caught sight of something through the storm — fur striped with silver, eyes pale as ice. In the heart of the storm, Mira and the ice lynx stood perfectly still, eye to eye. Fear and wonder mixed together into a feeling Mira couldn’t name, but there was excitement, too. She raised the flare gun and hesitated.

【答案】范文
Looking into the ice lynx’s staring eyes, Mira felt the distance between them melt away. She felt as if she and the lynx were one, like the snow and wind were melting the edges of her body. She was rooted to the spot, caught in the lynx’s stare, feeling a deep connection with the creature. The flare gun trembled in her hand, but something held her back. Slowly, she lowered it, realizing the lynx was not meant to be a prize to claim. Then, the faint crack of a flare — far away, not hers. The lynx crouched, ears alert, and then disappeared into the storm.
The storm finally died and her uncle reached her side, asking how everything was. “Thank goodness you’re safe,” he said, his voice a mix of relief and concern. “Did you find anything?” Mira opened her mouth to speak —Yes! Something impossible! But instead, she shook her head. Then she knelt down by a small gap, gently placing the insects back where they belonged. For the rest of the Survey, Mira walked quietly across the ice, feeling the weight of her discovery in her heart, and learning to step lightly, with respect for the world around her.

“We had the experience but missed the meaning,” T. S. Eliot wrote in 1941. Recently, I’ve been thinking the same about my four years at Stanford.
Some things were immediately obvious: that the world was more interesting than I had guessed; that not everything I had learned in high school was true; that I would never live in a more beautiful place than the Foothills by the Bay.
But other meanings didn’t unfold for decades. As an English major I read King Lear three times, but I didn’t connect with the play until I became a professor and had to teach it. Only then did I begin to feel the weight of Lear’s sorrow and regret.
Marjorie Perloff, then a rising star, introduced me to poet Frank O’Hara. At 18, I hadn’t lived enough to recognize what he was writing about. I hadn’t learned to appreciate the art of his seeming artlessness. He just seemed lazy.
In 1992, my senior year, Perloff hosted a conference on a composer known for his rule-breaking style, John Cage. Privately, I considered Cage a harmless pretender. His most famous piece, 4'33", centers on one or more musicians doing nothing at all. It reminded me of a Batman show where a blank painting wins an art contest.
It wasn’t until my 50s that I made an effort to understand Cage. I was writing a book about creativity. It was time to give him a second listen. I learned that his approach changed after reading the I Ching, a Chinese text that assigns meaning to random numbers. Cage used coin tosses to choose notes — random in note height, length, and volume. He wanted listeners to hear sound, not tune.
You can study Cage and still not enjoy his music. Perloff once said he might be remembered more for his writings than his music. Her frankness was liberating then and still is.
Some meanings take time.
24. What does the author imply about the experience of reading King Lear?
A. He disagreed with the themes in the play. B. He was fond of reading classics in college.
C. He turned a professor to understand the play. D. He finally got the play’s message later in life.
25. What does the author think of John Cage’s music at first?
A. Empty and lacking art. B. Suggestive of movies.
C. Pioneering in styling. D. Worth listening to again.
26. What motivated the author to give John Cage’s music a second listen?
A. His research for a book on creativity. B. Cage’s experimental approach to music.
C. His interest in other musicians’ opinions. D. The I Ching’s influence on Cage’s music.
27. What is the author trying to express in this article?
A. What he experienced at Stanford. B. Why music styles are important.
C. What Eliot’s view on writing is. D. How his views changed over time.
C
Researchers showed people pictures of two knots (绳结) and asked them to point to the strongest one. They couldn’t. They showed people videos of each knot, where the knots turn slowly so they could get a good long look. They still failed. People couldn’t even manage it when researchers showed them each knot next to a diagram of the knots’ construction.
The study in the journal Open Mind reveals a new blind spot in our physical reasoning. The experiment is the brainchild of a PhD student in Firestone’s lab, Sholei Croom. Croom, who studies intuitive (直觉的) physics, or what people understand about the environment just from looking at it, suspected knots might be a rare blind spot.
“People make predictions all the time about how the physics of the world will play out but something about knots didn’t feel intuitive to me,” Croom says. “You don’t need to touch a pile of books to judge its stability. You don’t have to feel a bowling ball to guess how many pins it will knock over.”
The researchers showed participants four knots that are physically similar but have a range of strength. People were asked to look at the knots, two at a time, and point to the strongest one.
Participants were consistently incorrect. What’s more, the few times they guessed right, they did so for the wrong reasons, pointing to aspects of the knot that had nothing to do with its strength. The knots ranged from one of the strongest basic knots in existence to one so weak that it can come undone if you just touch it gently. Even between those two, side by side, people couldn’t point to the strong one.
The human psychological system just fails to ascertain any physical knowledge from the properties of the knot. Objects that aren’t rigid, such as string, may be harder for people to reason about than solid ones, Croom says. “It’s a nice case study into how many open questions still remain in our ability to reason about the environment.”
28. Why does Croom design the study?
A. To test the strength of different types of knots. B. To explore ways in predicting patterns of knots.
C. To test the visual judgment of knot strength. D. To measure the intuitive effects of knot tying.
29. Why does Croom mention judging a “pile of books” and a “bowling ball”?
A. To list common tasks in intuitive physics studies.
B. To contrast easy judgments with the knot challenge.
C. To prove that physical reasoning is always accurate.
D. To argue for the need to touch objects for judgment.
30. What can be inferred about the participants in the study?
A. They performed better when shown turning videos.
B. They correctly identified knots based on key features.
C. Their correct guesses were not based on relevant clues.
D. They lacked any personal experience with tying knots.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A Brief Introduction to Different Types of Knots
B. A New Blind Spot in Human Perception Found
C. How Intuitive Physics Helps Understand the World
D. Why Some People Are Better at Judging Knot Strength
D
Planting trees alone won’t stop global warming, and nature-based climate solutions are not a licence to keep emitting (排放). That’s the underlying message of a paper published last fall in Nature by a group of climate scientists.
Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets.
Nature-based climate solutions and carbon offsets distract from what we know is the problem: the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. They go up, and we need them to come down. The best thing to do is stop letting them go up in the first place. But we also have to get them down — permanently, not attached to a tree. Claiming “I’m not going to cut down that tree over there if you give me money” is not a carbon offset. It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly.
The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn't reflect the time periods involved. When we burn fossil carbon, really what we’re doing is taking ancient forests that died and became coal over tens of millions of years — at high pressures deep under the Earth's surface — and we’re putting that up in the atmosphere in just a few decades and expecting a tree to grow and somehow be an offset. A tree lives for 100 years and then dies and gives the carbon back to the atmosphere. That’s why we refer to geological (地质的) net zero. It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage.
32. What is the idea of the group of scientists?
A. Planting trees is the best way to stop global warming.
B Nature-based climate solutions really work very well.
C. Buying carbon credits is effective net-zero emissions.
D. The logic of offsets, maybe imperfect, is to be discussed.
33. How does the writer explain not cutting down a tree for money as a silly idea in para.3?
A. By definition. B. By comparison. C. By analysis. D. By description.
34. What is the problem when people try to understand net zero?
A. They turn a blind eye to the relevant durations. B. They overemphasize the direct air capture ability.
C. They overestimate the number of trees needed. D. They fail to consider the geological reserve ability.
35. What does the underlined word “sequestered” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Released. B. Produced. C. Stored. D. Destroyed.

Four Things I Learned About Myself While Volunteering in India
After a satisfying career as communications director for a non-profit international charity, I wanted my retirement to reflect my values and my dreams. A friend suggested I create an equation (等式): values+ dreams=? I boiled values down to “social justice”, and dreams to “foreign travel”.
A community development organization in Nagpur, India, welcomed my volunteer help with programs, translation, and grant writing, and the local college wanted me to teach English for free.___36___ But I gained far more than I gave.
I won’t “settle” no matter what my age.
I had settled into a relationship that seemed perfect for a 60+ woman. But he would take an expensive rail journey through India while only writing checks to charity. I chose India over him.___37___
___38___
My flat room had broken plastic floor, a hard bed, and no TV or Wi-Fi. The shower fell at three drops per minute. But soon, that room became my cozy home. I unplugged. I read more, walked more, and visited temples and festivals. Life was simpler, freer.
I can depend on the kindness around me.
___39___ Dolly refused to take money for my haircut while Vasanti and Vinta took care of me. A stranger at a church rescued me from a crowd and said gently, “I will be your father.” That moment stayed with me more than the writings the others saw.
The difference between me and Indian women is what we wear.
Micro-loans help Indian women start businesses, send children to school, and improve their homes.___40___“While men are making war, we women are cooking soup and raising children,” I said. We were more alike than different.
I spent four winters volunteering there. It wasn’t escape— it was purpose.
A I saw myself in them.
B. I was expecting to “give back”.
C. I thought we faced similar problems.
D. Getting by with less is not a sacrifice.
E. Living a simple life was not easy at first.
F. My fellow workers showed warmth and generosity.
G. Now, I would not trade my lifestyle for security or convenience.

As they rowed through the moving ice, Mira narrowed her eyes at the shore, hoping to see the legendary animal she had often dreamed about. But she quickly reminded herself that the ice lynx no longer existed, and real scientists didn’t chase after unrealistic dreams.

She raised the flare gun and hesitated.
