At 102 years old, the American neurologist (神经学家), Howard Tucker, has lived a life so extraordinary that it earned him a Guinness World Record as the oldest practicing doctor. Though he officially hung up his white coat at 100, he remains as active and engaged as ever.
Today, he lectures future physicians at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and consults on medico-legal cases. “Retirement, I think, is the enemy of longevity (长寿),” Dr. Tucker recently told Today. “You have to have some purpose in life and get up in the morning and know what you’re about.”
Even after the hospital where he worked shut its doors in 2022, ending his medical practice at 100, it hasn’t prevented Tucker from returning to clinical work. “If it weren’t for the closure, I’d absolutely still be seeing patients,” he said. “Nobody wants me at my age — but I’ll keep trying.”
His enthusiasm for life has caught the public imagination, especially through What’s Next, a documentary about his life produced by his grandson. Dr. Tucker credits his longevity not just to his parents who lived to 84 and 96 but also to his lifestyle choices, including a sensible diet and a happy life. His daily routine reflects that philosophy. He snowshoes in the winter, walks on the running machine for at least four kilometers a day, and eats a mostly clean diet. Dr. Tucker also says it’s important to keep the brain motivated. “If you retire from your work, you should at least do something as a hobby,” he explained. “You need a motivation for the brain daily.”
For a man who’s devoted his life to healing others, Dr. Howard Tucker’s greatest lesson might be how to truly live.
4. What do we know about Tucker after he turned 100?
A. He opened a new clinic by himself. B. He focused on making documentaries.
C. He quit his job in order to be a consultant. D. He was still engaged in medical-related work.
5. What does Tucker think of retirement?
A. It is necessary for the old. B. It is beneficial to improving health.
C. It goes against living a long life. D. It helps offer a clear life goal.
6. What helps Tucker live long according to him?
A. Good genes and a healthy lifestyle. B. Public attention and daily exercise.
C. Rich social experience and family influence. D. An active brain care and strong enthusiasm.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Secrets to a True Life B. A 102-year-old Active Doctor
C. The Importance of Living Long D. Ways to Become a Neurologist

A group of farmers in Nigeria is using a technology-based method to grow crops. The method, known as aeroponics, does not involve soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air.
Aeroponics is not well-known in Nigeria, but farmers there are working to make the technique more popular. The technique could make a big difference in places like the city of Abeokuta. Violent conflicts and desertification — the process by which rich land becomes desert — have made huge amounts of land unsuitable for farming.
Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria’s smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta. “We are putting an end to seasonal food shortage in Nigeria,” said Ogbole, “Because we are the ones controlling everything that the plant requires — we are not depending on seasons. So it’s no longer seasonal farming. It is just farming anytime of the year, meaning you can plant anytime of the year. We can harvest anytime of the year,” said Ogbole.
But setting up the aeroponic farm was not easy. It required more than $210,000. And some people in Abeokuta were very much against this non-traditional method of farming. “It took a lot of effort to change people’s minds about aeroponics,” said Ogbole.
In Nigeria, about 30 million hectares of farmland is being used, instead of the 78. 5 million hectares required for food security. Violent conflicts and desertification are the top reasons the farmland is being lost. And only 49 percent of the land is rich. Besides, most farmers do not have the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They are also in need of high-quality seeds to guarantee better harvests. For now, technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole are offering a new way forward.
8. What is special about aeroponics?
A. Crops are not grown in soil. B. Crops can grow all by themselves.
C. Crops without roots can grow well. D. Crops can grow well without water.
9. What does the new method enable farmers to do?
A. Reduce the costs of farming. B. Produce crops of higher quality.
C. Grow crops whenever they like. D. Keep crops fresh for a longer period.
10. What do we know about Abeokuta from the passage?
A. There is plenty of rich land there. B. Most farmers there are technologically skilled ones.
C. Many farmers there are terribly violent. D. Some people there don’t approve of aeroponics.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to turn deserts into rich land. B. A new approach to growing crops.
C. Techniques for developing high-quality seeds. D. The importance of fighting against desertification.
D
Carl Behnke, a food safety expert at Purdue University, had always wondered how clean his reusable water bottle was. After stuffing paper towels inside and pulling them out, he was shocked to see how dirty they became. This inspired him to design a study. Behnke and colleagues stopped passers-by in a corridor at Purdue and asked if they would be happy to loan their water bottles to them as part of their research — to see how clean they were.
“One thing that stood out from the project was the number of people who didn’t want to know the results,” recalls Behnke. “Basically, they knew that their cleaning habits were poor to non-existent — something the data later confirmed.”
Research shows that reusable water bottles can harbor millions of bacteria. A study found that water in bottles used by adults went from about 75,000 bacteria per milliliter in the morning to over 1-2 million by the end of the day. Contamination often comes from the drinker’s hands, mouth, and the outside of the bottle. Those who don’t wash their hands regularly may introduce harmful germs into their bottles.
While most bacteria are harmless, they can pose risks, especially for individuals with weakened immune systems. Additionally, drinks that contain sugar can feed bacteria, promoting growth and making the situation worse. Although serious illnesses from reusable bottles are rare, it’s still crucial to maintain good hygiene (卫生).
To reduce bacterial growth, it’s recommended to clean your water bottle regularly. Behnke’s research indicated that participants who used brushes or dishwashers had the lowest bacteria counts. Cleaning should involve hot water and soap, letting the bottle sit for about ten minutes before rinsing (彻底冲洗) thoroughly. It’s essential to let the bottle air-dry to prevent moisture (水分) buildup, which encourages bacteria. And proper handwashing before touching your clean bottle can also help minimize contamination.
12. What can be inferred about the participants according to paragraph 2?
A. They actively engaged in the study. B. They were aware of their poor cleaning habits.
C. They thought the study was unnecessary. D. They were confident about the study results.
13. What does the underlined word “Contamination” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Pollution. B. Purification. C. Destruction. D. Infection.
14. What’s a recommended approach to reducing bacteria growth?
A. Using brushes with hot soapy water. B. Wiping with clean dry towels.
C. Washing for about ten minutes each time. D. Washing hands regularly with soap.
15. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Are You Using the Right Water Bottle? B. Does Your Water Bottle Make You Sick?
C. Are You Cleaning Your Water Bottle Enough? D. Should You Stop Using Reusable Water Bottle?

How Sleep Enhances Emotional Intelligence
Getting enough sleep not only makes us feel better but also plays a key role in developing emotional intelligence. Here's how a full night’s rest supports this important ability.
Sleep supports emotional control.
___16___ For example, a tired teacher might speak sharply to students, or a sleepy coworker may react poorly to simple requests. Such behavior can harm relationships. Sleep helps the part of our brain that manages feelings work better. Learning to control our emotions is a key skill for emotional intelligence, and good sleep makes this possible.
Sleep improves understanding of others.
During deep sleep, the brain areas that recognize emotions in faces are refreshed. If we miss this sleep, we may misread expressions. ___17___ Correctly understanding facial expressions allows us to connect with others better and share their feelings. This ability is the base of empathy and strong social connections.
___18___
Being able to solve problems in new ways is important for emotional growth. A full night of sleep, rich in dreams, boosts our problem-solving skills. Studies show that after good sleep, people can solve problems more easily and come up with fresh ideas. During sleep, our brain safely processes information and finds different answers to difficult problems. ___19___
Sleep aids social judgment.
Enough sleep sharpens our skills for social situations. Well-rested people are better at noticing small signals in conversations, like a change in someone’s voice or face, and responding in the right way. ___20___ Sleep also helps control our emotional reactions, allowing for wiser and more thoughtful choices in both work and personal relationships.
A. Sleep leads to problem-solving.
B. Sleep encourages creative thinking.
C. Without enough sleep, people often become easily upset.
D. This leads to clearer communication with fewer mistakes.
E. For example, we might see a friendly face as an angry one.
F. As a result, we can better handle change and new situations.

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。
Li Wei, a high school senior, had always felt confused between her mother’s expectation and her own dream. Her mother, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, ran a small clinic in their town. The air inside was always filled with the earthy smell of dried herbs. Her mother had long hoped Li Wei would take over the family business. “A career in medicine is a good choice, and it connects us to our roots,” her mother often said, pointing to the old books lining on the shelves.
But Li Wei’ s heart belonged to classical dance. She spent hours practicing in secret, and her room was full of posters of international dance groups. One evening, while helping her mother prepare herbs, Li Wei accidentally knocked over a jar of ginseng (人参). As she hurried to clean up, her mother’s voice cut through the silence, “You’ re too distracted. This is why you can’t focus on your studies— and the clinic.”
Li Wei’ s cheeks turned red. “I don’ t want to be a doctor!” she shouted. “I want to dance!” Before her mother could answer, Li Wei grabbed her bag and ran out, leaving the clinic door moving.
Weeks passed, and the tension between them reached boiling point. Li Wei avoided the clinic, spending long hours at dance practices even though her knees had become swollen and red. When she did come home, the house was full of cold silence, broken only by the occasional noise of her mother’s tool grinding (研磨) herbs. But Li Wei couldn’t miss the way her mother’s eyes looked at her dance shoes, or the soft sighs that came from her during their rare talks. She was eager for her mother’s support.
Then came a big chance: a national dance competition. Li Wei’ s hands shook as she filled out the application form, her heart beating fast. But when she looked at the bottom of the page, she felt scared. The form needed a parent’s signature, a sad reminder of the gap between her and her mother.
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。
That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before stepping onto stage, Li Wei held her mother’s lucky sachet (香囊) in her pocket.

At 102 years old, the American neurologist (神经学家), Howard Tucker, has lived a life so extraordinary that it earned him a Guinness World Record as the oldest practicing doctor. Though he officially hung up his white coat at 100, he remains as active and engaged as ever.
Today, he lectures future physicians at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and consults on medico-legal cases. “Retirement, I think, is the enemy of longevity (长寿),” Dr. Tucker recently told Today. “You have to have some purpose in life and get up in the morning and know what you’re about.”
Even after the hospital where he worked shut its doors in 2022, ending his medical practice at 100, it hasn’t prevented Tucker from returning to clinical work. “If it weren’t for the closure, I’d absolutely still be seeing patients,” he said. “Nobody wants me at my age — but I’ll keep trying.”
His enthusiasm for life has caught the public imagination, especially through What’s Next, a documentary about his life produced by his grandson. Dr. Tucker credits his longevity not just to his parents who lived to 84 and 96 but also to his lifestyle choices, including a sensible diet and a happy life. His daily routine reflects that philosophy. He snowshoes in the winter, walks on the running machine for at least four kilometers a day, and eats a mostly clean diet. Dr. Tucker also says it’s important to keep the brain motivated. “If you retire from your work, you should at least do something as a hobby,” he explained. “You need a motivation for the brain daily.”
For a man who’s devoted his life to healing others, Dr. Howard Tucker’s greatest lesson might be how to truly live.

A group of farmers in Nigeria is using a technology-based method to grow crops. The method, known as aeroponics, does not involve soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air.
Aeroponics is not well-known in Nigeria, but farmers there are working to make the technique more popular. The technique could make a big difference in places like the city of Abeokuta. Violent conflicts and desertification — the process by which rich land becomes desert — have made huge amounts of land unsuitable for farming.
Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria’s smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta. “We are putting an end to seasonal food shortage in Nigeria,” said Ogbole, “Because we are the ones controlling everything that the plant requires — we are not depending on seasons. So it’s no longer seasonal farming. It is just farming anytime of the year, meaning you can plant anytime of the year. We can harvest anytime of the year,” said Ogbole.
But setting up the aeroponic farm was not easy. It required more than $210,000. And some people in Abeokuta were very much against this non-traditional method of farming. “It took a lot of effort to change people’s minds about aeroponics,” said Ogbole.
In Nigeria, about 30 million hectares of farmland is being used, instead of the 78. 5 million hectares required for food security. Violent conflicts and desertification are the top reasons the farmland is being lost. And only 49 percent of the land is rich. Besides, most farmers do not have the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They are also in need of high-quality seeds to guarantee better harvests. For now, technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole are offering a new way forward.
8. What is special about aeroponics?
A. Crops are not grown in soil. B. Crops can grow all by themselves.
C. Crops without roots can grow well. D. Crops can grow well without water.
9. What does the new method enable farmers to do?
A. Reduce the costs of farming. B. Produce crops of higher quality.
C. Grow crops whenever they like. D. Keep crops fresh for a longer period.
10. What do we know about Abeokuta from the passage?
A. There is plenty of rich land there. B. Most farmers there are technologically skilled ones.
C. Many farmers there are terribly violent. D. Some people there don’t approve of aeroponics.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to turn deserts into rich land. B. A new approach to growing crops.
C. Techniques for developing high-quality seeds. D. The importance of fighting against desertification.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B

Carl Behnke, a food safety expert at Purdue University, had always wondered how clean his reusable water bottle was. After stuffing paper towels inside and pulling them out, he was shocked to see how dirty they became. This inspired him to design a study. Behnke and colleagues stopped passers-by in a corridor at Purdue and asked if they would be happy to loan their water bottles to them as part of their research — to see how clean they were.
“One thing that stood out from the project was the number of people who didn’t want to know the results,” recalls Behnke. “Basically, they knew that their cleaning habits were poor to non-existent — something the data later confirmed.”
Research shows that reusable water bottles can harbor millions of bacteria. A study found that water in bottles used by adults went from about 75,000 bacteria per milliliter in the morning to over 1-2 million by the end of the day. Contamination often comes from the drinker’s hands, mouth, and the outside of the bottle. Those who don’t wash their hands regularly may introduce harmful germs into their bottles.
While most bacteria are harmless, they can pose risks, especially for individuals with weakened immune systems. Additionally, drinks that contain sugar can feed bacteria, promoting growth and making the situation worse. Although serious illnesses from reusable bottles are rare, it’s still crucial to maintain good hygiene (卫生).
To reduce bacterial growth, it’s recommended to clean your water bottle regularly. Behnke’s research indicated that participants who used brushes or dishwashers had the lowest bacteria counts. Cleaning should involve hot water and soap, letting the bottle sit for about ten minutes before rinsing (彻底冲洗) thoroughly. It’s essential to let the bottle air-dry to prevent moisture (水分) buildup, which encourages bacteria. And proper handwashing before touching your clean bottle can also help minimize contamination.
12. What can be inferred about the participants according to paragraph 2?
A. They actively engaged in the study. B. They were aware of their poor cleaning habits.
C. They thought the study was unnecessary. D. They were confident about the study results.
13. What does the underlined word “Contamination” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Pollution. B. Purification. C. Destruction. D. Infection.
14. What’s a recommended approach to reducing bacteria growth?
A. Using brushes with hot soapy water. B. Wiping with clean dry towels.
C. Washing for about ten minutes each time. D. Washing hands regularly with soap.
15. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Are You Using the Right Water Bottle? B. Does Your Water Bottle Make You Sick?
C. Are You Cleaning Your Water Bottle Enough? D. Should You Stop Using Reusable Water Bottle?
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是一项关于水杯含很多细菌的研究,并提出了应该怎么正确地清洁水杯。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““One thing that stood out from the project was the number of people who didn’t want to know the results,” recalls Behnke. “Basically, they knew that their cleaning habits were poor to non-existent — something the data later confirmed.”(贝恩克回忆道:“该项目中有一件事格外引人注目,那就是有很多人根本不想知道结果。实际上,他们很清楚自己的清洁习惯非常糟糕甚至完全没有清洁习惯——这一点后来的数据也证实了这一点。”)”可知,参与者意识到自己的卫生状况很差。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Research shows that reusable water bottles can harbor millions of bacteria. A study found that water in bottles used by adults went from about 75,000 bacteria per milliliter in the morning to over 1-2 million by the end of the day.(研究表明,可重复使用的水瓶可能藏有数百万细菌。一项研究发现,成年人使用的瓶装水从早上的每毫升7.5万个细菌增加到一天结束时的每毫升超过100到200万个细菌)”可知,瓶装水有很多细菌,划线词所在句子说明了污染物的来源,表示“污染通常来自饮水者的手、嘴和瓶子的外部”,Contamination的意思是“污染”,和Pollution意思相近。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“To reduce bacterial growth, it’s recommended to clean your water bottle regularly. Behnke’s research indicated that participants who used brushes or dishwashers had the lowest bacteria counts. Cleaning should involve hot water and soap, letting the bottle sit for about ten minutes before rinsing (彻底冲洗) thoroughly.(为减少细菌滋生,建议定期清洗水杯。Behnke的研究表明,使用刷子或洗碗机清洗的参与者,其水杯中的细菌数量最少。清洗时应使用热水和肥皂,让水杯静置约十分钟后再彻底冲洗干净。)”可知,减少细菌生长的推荐方法是用热肥皂水和刷子。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“To reduce bacterial growth, it’s recommended to clean your water bottle regularly. Behnke’s research indicated that participants who used brushes or dishwashers had the lowest bacteria counts. Cleaning should involve hot water and soap, letting the bottle sit for about ten minutes before rinsing (彻底冲洗) thoroughly. It’s essential to let the bottle air-dry to prevent moisture (水分) buildup, which encourages bacteria. And proper handwashing before touching your clean bottle can also help minimize contamination.(为减少细菌滋生,建议定期清洗你的水杯。Behnke的研究表明,使用刷子或洗碗机清洗的参与者,其水杯中的细菌数量最少。清洗时应使用热水和肥皂,让水杯静置约十分钟后再彻底冲洗干净。让水杯自然晾干至关重要,这能防止水分积聚,因为水分积聚会滋生细菌。此外,在接触清洗干净的水杯前正确洗手也有助于最大程度减少污染)”可知,本文主要讲的是一项关于水杯含很多细菌的研究,并提出了应该怎么正确地清洁水杯,因此最好的题目是C选项“Are You Cleaning Your Water Bottle Enough?(你对水杯的清洁够到位吗?)”。故选C。

Sleep aids social judgment.
Enough sleep sharpens our skills for social situations.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中国古代日晷的计时功能、文化意义及其在历史中的多重价值。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在过去数千年间,人类发明了各式各样的工具与装置来认知和记录时间。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语In the past thousands of years可知,强调从过去持续到现在的情况,应用现在完成时,主语people是复数,所以谓语动词为have invented。故填have invented。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:这些带有指针和晷面的日晷,通过指针投射在晷面上的影子来指示一天中的时刻。此处为谓语动词,结合上文的“Ancient Chinese sundials”以及语境可知,此处描述过去的情况,use与主语These sundials之间为被动关系,所以使应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语These sundials是复数,所以谓语动词为were used。故填were used。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些日晷,尤其是紫禁城里的日晷,不仅仅是一种计时工具;它们还象征着皇帝掌控时间的权力。此处为非谓语动词作定语,those指代sundials与find为被动关系,所以用过去分词found。故填found。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些日晷,尤其是紫禁城里的日晷,不仅仅是一种计时工具;它们还象征着皇帝掌控时间的权力。device为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示“一种计时工具”为泛指,且time-telling是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国古代天文学家利用日晷观测天象,这些天象被认为是世间大事的征兆。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词phenomena指物,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:在古代文明中,精确测量时间的能力是权力与智慧的象征。此处修饰动词measure,用precise的副词形式precisely。故填precisely。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:此外,日晷在当时常被用作公共场所的装饰品,成为日常生活的一部分,其复杂的设计与雕刻也成为展现文化价值的一种方式。此处表示“物件”,为可数名词复数概念,所以用pieces。故填pieces。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但最令人着迷的一点或许是,日晷蕴藏着宇宙的奥秘。此处修饰名词idea,用fascinate的形容词形式fascinating意为“迷人的”。故填fascinating。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:日晷上指针与刻度的精准位置被视为自然秩序与和谐的体现。此处为固定搭配be viewed as,意为“被视为……”,所以用介词as。故填as。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它是人们与宏大天地万物相连并理解自身位置的一种方式。此处为固定搭配a way for sb. to do sth.,意为“某人做某事的方式”,所以用动词不定式to connect作后置定语。故填to connect。

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。
Li Wei, a high school senior, had always felt confused between her mother’s expectation and her own dream. Her mother, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, ran a small clinic in their town. The air inside was always filled with the earthy smell of dried herbs. Her mother had long hoped Li Wei would take over the family business. “A career in medicine is a good choice, and it connects us to our roots,” her mother often said, pointing to the old books lining on the shelves.
But Li Wei’ s heart belonged to classical dance. She spent hours practicing in secret, and her room was full of posters of international dance groups. One evening, while helping her mother prepare herbs, Li Wei accidentally knocked over a jar of ginseng (人参). As she hurried to clean up, her mother’s voice cut through the silence, “You’ re too distracted. This is why you can’t focus on your studies— and the clinic.”
Li Wei’ s cheeks turned red. “I don’ t want to be a doctor!” she shouted. “I want to dance!” Before her mother could answer, Li Wei grabbed her bag and ran out, leaving the clinic door moving.
Weeks passed, and the tension between them reached boiling point. Li Wei avoided the clinic, spending long hours at dance practices even though her knees had become swollen and red. When she did come home, the house was full of cold silence, broken only by the occasional noise of her mother’s tool grinding (研磨) herbs. But Li Wei couldn’t miss the way her mother’s eyes looked at her dance shoes, or the soft sighs that came from her during their rare talks. She was eager for her mother’s support.
Then came a big chance: a national dance competition. Li Wei’ s hands shook as she filled out the application form, her heart beating fast. But when she looked at the bottom of the page, she felt scared. The form needed a parent’s signature, a sad reminder of the gap between her and her mother.
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。
That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before stepping onto stage, Li Wei held her mother’s lucky sachet (香囊) in her pocket.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】【参考范文】
That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand. Her mother was carefully weighing dried herbs at the counter. With a deep breath, Li Wei placed the form in front of her, ready to brace herself for the refusal she had long expected. Her mother wiped her hands on her apron and picked up the paper. After a moment of careful reading, she signed her name without a word. Then, she reached under the counter, took out a small sachet, and placed it gently in Li Wei’ s hand. “Keep this with you,” she said softly. “It will help you stay calm.” A sense of warmth welled up in Li Wei’ s heart, resolving to do her utmost in the competition.
Before stepping onto stage, Li Wei held her mother’s lucky sachet (香囊) in her pocket. It was her first time competing on such a major stage. Great panic almost made her forget how to dance. Just then her mother appeared quietly beside her, “The clinic is my path, but this stage is your journey.” Her words lingered in the air like a blessing. Li Wei breathed in the sachet’ s calming scent, felt her fear loosen, and gave her mother’ s hand a grateful squeeze. Stepping into the lights, Li Wei danced — and in her movement, two separate dreams converged into a moment of perfect understanding.
