“Growing fruit trees is a very simple way to stay in love with our world,” says Vivian Keh, playwright and daughter of immigrants, holding a basket of persimmons (柿子) she’s cultivated to feel connected to her Korean ancestors. Keh is just one of the 50 remarkable subjects in naturalist writer Amy Stewart’s The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession, a collection of portraits of people transformed by their love of trees.
Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons diverse as their projects. They plant trees in public and private spaces both modest and expansive, nurturing (培育) their collections to honor beloved dead, attract wildlife, preserve rare species’ connect to history, invest in the future, grow food and create beauty.
Steward categorizes these tree collectors according to their sense of purpose. Kenneth Hoegh, one of the book’s “ecologists”, tests which cold-loving species might grow in a warming and historically treeless Greenland. “Healer” Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of generational wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the “community builders” who seek to bring people together.
Adding to the book’s charm are Stewart’s watercolor’ illustrations — she gives Us a look at each of her human subjects while also cataloging the most wonderful qualities of featured trees, such as Seussian eucalyptus seed pods and delicate camellia blossoms.
After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. “How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger?” she writes. “Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.”
4. What does the underlined word “curation” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Connection. B. Collection. C. Treatment. D. Transformation,
5. What purpose of planting trees is mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To preserve rare species. B. To honor beloved dead.
C. To develop new varieties. D. To strengthen social bonds.
6. What does the quote in the last paragraph suggest about discussing trees?
A. It inspires new ideas. B. It rarely happens in public.
C. It allows deep emotional sharing. D. It helps resolve environmental issues.
7. What does the writer think of the book?
A. Complicated. B. Conventional. C. Inspiring. D. Intense.

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
8. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing.
C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.
9. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A. Computers are much easier to operate.
B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D. Data security measures are guaranteed.
10. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A. It’ll be environment-friendly. B. It’ll reach consumers soon.
C. It’ll be made of plastics. D. It’ll help speed up typing.
11. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook C. A novel. D. A magazine.
D
During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.
Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior.”
In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究). “We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.”
Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.
In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. “Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, ” he said.
12. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?
A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The classification of the popular.
B. The characteristics of adolescents.
C. The importance of interpersonal skills.
D. The causes of dishonorable behavior.
14. What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find about the most liked kids?
A. They appeared to be aggressive.
B. They tended to be more adaptable.
C. They enjoyed the highest status.
D. They performed well academically.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Be Nice—You Won’t Finish Last
B. The Higher the Status, the Better
C. Be the Best—You Can Make It
D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness

When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water. ____16____
I met Forest Therapy (治疗) guide Melanic Choukas- Bradley and several other women who’d come along for the adventure at an urban forest. Here, I began to get it. Forest bathing isn’t a bath. We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water. ____17____ We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind.
The aim of forest bathing, Choukas-Bradley explained, is to slow down and become fully bathed in the natural environment. She helped us tune in to the forest’s smells, tastes and sights. ___18___ As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty.
There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress. ____19____ A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort.
____20____ Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.
A. It’s not a hike, either.
B. It turns out that my interpretation was literal.
C. The benefits of nature can be accessed simply.
D. Forest bathing frees us from worldly engagements.
E. The idea that spending time in nature is good is not new.
F. Indeed, medical researchers have demonstrated its benefits.
G. We took in the peaceful surroundings by using all our senses.

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。
This Friday brought a mix of emotions — both excitement and disappointment — all because of a poster from school. When I got home, Mum saw the poster in my hand and asked, “What’s this?”
“A poster for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.”
“Would you like to attend?” Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.”
“Maybe,” I echoed (附和). Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile.
As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp.
I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.”
“Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up.
As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. The roots grow outwards, not downwards — to get enough water and air to support the tree.
“You have a good eye, Tessa.” With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye.
Paragraph 1: His words set me thinking.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp.

词句猜测题。由文章第二段“Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons diverse as their projects.(起初,斯图尔特觉得收集树木很奇怪。被这个爱好者群体所吸引,她发现了教育工作者、保护主义者和梦想家,他们都被这一种 所吸引,其动机与他们的项目不同)”可知,这里curation应指前一句中所提及的收集,所以猜测curation表“收集”的意思。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“‘Healer’ Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of generational wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the ‘community builders’ who seek to bring people together.(‘治疗师’乔·汉密尔顿在他从被奴役的祖先那里获得的一块土地上种植火炬松,着眼于长期可持续的林业,他希望这将为他的家庭建立一代人的财富来源。Reagan Wytsalucy计划恢复纳瓦霍土地上的传统桃园,作为寻求将人们聚集在一起的‘社区建设者’之一)”可知,第3段提到植树是可以加强社会联系的。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“‘How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger?’ she writes. ‘’Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.’(她写道:‘我们中有多少人有机会向陌生人倾诉心声?不知何故,和树聊天可以使这成为可能。’)”可知,和树聊天可允许人们进行深度的情感分享。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. (在这个多样化的联邦度过一段时间后,你无疑会强烈渴望在绿树成荫的橡树下休息。但这里正在发生更深层次的事情:为人们创造一个谈论他们喜欢的事情的空间)”以及上下文可知,作者认为这本书鼓舞人心,会让读者爱上树以及向往书里的生活。故选C项。

They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.
Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior.”
In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究). “We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.”
Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.
In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. “Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, ” he said.

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。
When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water. ____16____
I met Forest Therapy (治疗) guide Melanic Choukas- Bradley and several other women who’d come along for the adventure at an urban forest. Here, I began to get it. Forest bathing isn’t a bath. We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water. ____17____ We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind.
The aim of forest bathing, Choukas-Bradley explained, is to slow down and become fully bathed in the natural environment. She helped us tune in to the forest’s smells, tastes and sights. ___18___ As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty.
There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress. ____19____ A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort.
____20____ Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.
A. It’s not a hike, either.
B. It turns out that my interpretation was literal.
C. The benefits of nature can be accessed simply.
D. Forest bathing frees us from worldly engagements.
E. The idea that spending time in nature is good is not new.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是森林浴以及森林浴的好处等。
【16题详解】
根据上文“When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water.(当我被邀请参加森林浴时,我带上了泳衣,以为一定是在水里游个痛快)”可知,上文提到作者以为森林浴就是去游泳,即从字面上理解了这个概念。故B选项“原来我理解的是字面意思”符合语境,故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water.(我们坐在河岸上,但没有下水)”以及后文“We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind.(我们确实沿着森林小径走了,但我们漫无目的地徘徊)”可知,本句主要是在介绍森林浴的特点,不是下水游泳,只是漫无目的地徘徊,说明是无目的的散步,不是有目的地徒步旅行。故A选项“也不是徒步旅行”符合语境,故选A。
【18题详解】
根据后文“As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty.(当我们穿过树林时,我们触摸着树干,感受着手指下的粗糙。我们闻着花香,每一次呼吸都是对大自然之美的赞美)”可知,提到了触摸、感受、闻着、呼吸,都是在强调感官体验。故G选项“我们运用一切感官感受这宁静的环境”符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress.(越来越多的证据表明,森林浴可以帮助改善情绪,减轻压力)”以及后文“A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort.(2011年的一项研究比较了城市散步和森林散步,发现森林环境更能降低血压,尽管这两种活动都需要同样的体力)”可知,本句为过渡句,指出有研究证明了森林浴可以帮助改善情绪,减轻压力,同时引出后文的研究内容。故F选项“事实上,医学研究人员已经证明了它的好处”符合语境,故选F。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.(人类历史的大部分时间都是在没有建筑和墙壁的环境中度过的,我们的身体已经适应了在自然界的生活。但是今天,我们大多数人的大部分时间都在室内度过。也许新的森林浴潮流是一种认识,即我们中的许多人需要一点推动才能回到那里)”可知,后文提到人类的身体已经适应了在自然界的生活,且需要推动回到大自然,说明是在建议花时间亲近大自然。故E选项“花时间在大自然中是件好事的想法并不新鲜”符合语境,故选E。

37. where 38. referring
39. muddy 40. is committed##commits
41. or 42. to emerge
43. extension
44. by 45. planted
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南繁种子繁殖中心的情况及其主要贡献。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:拥有得天独厚的自然恩赐和丰富的国家资源,在这片土地上,农业专家就如何处理全球饥饿问题贡献力量。空处修饰blessed,应用副词形式。故填Uniquely。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:拥有得天独厚的自然恩赐和丰富的国家资源,在这片土地上,农业专家就如何处理全球饥饿问题贡献力量。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为 ground,引导词在定语从句中充当地点状语,用where引导。故填 where。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:戏称自己为“弹涂鱼”,他经常被看到卷着裤腿站在泥泞的田地里。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词is,所以refer用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语he之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式作状语。故填referring.
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:戏称自己为“弹涂鱼”,他经常被看到卷着裤腿站在泥泞的田地里。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,mud的形容词形式是muddy。故填muddy。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:肖博士和其他南繁的研究者们一起全身心致力于提升粮食产量,确保人们粮食充足。分析句子结构可知,commit作本句谓语,此处是固定搭配:be committed to或者commit to都是“致力于”之意,根据前文可知,本段用一般现在时,主语是Dr. Xiao,为第三人称单数。故填is committed或者commits。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:生活就像种子一样,或者有时不像预期的那样生长,或者有时不活跃。此处是固定搭配:either…or…意为“或者…或者…”。故填or。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:生命的种子总能从地里冒出来。此处是固定搭配:magnate to do sth. 意为“完成某事(困难的事)”。故填to emerge
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:这样可以延长生长季节。空前是冠词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,extend的名词形式是extension。故填extension。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:将育种周期缩短一半或更多,南繁加快了育种过程。此处是固定搭配:shorten by意为“缩短了”介词by表示变化的“程度或数量”。故填by。
【45题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:希望是一粒卑微的种子,种在肥沃的土地上,就会变成新的生命,结出变化的果实。本句是when引导的时间状语从句的省略,其完整的形式是when it is planted in fertile ground,it代指上文的hope,和动词plant之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态;从句的主语和主句的主语一致,且从句中有be动词,所以省略从句中的主语和be动词。故填planted。

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。
This Friday brought a mix of emotions — both excitement and disappointment — all because of a poster from school. When I got home, Mum saw the poster in my hand and asked, “What’s this?”
“A poster for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.”
“Would you like to attend?” Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.”
“Maybe,” I echoed (附和). Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile.
As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp.
I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.”
“Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up.
As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. The roots grow outwards, not downwards — to get enough water and air to support the tree.
“You have a good eye, Tessa.” With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye.
Paragraph 1: His words set me thinking.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】His words set me thinking. As I reflected on Mr. Weston’s words, the analogy of pine roots growing out, not down, struck a chord with me deeply. Perhaps I could learn something valuable from stepping beyond my comfort zone, just like the tree’s need to spread its roots to grow tall. Surprisingly, even in the absence of my best friend, the idea of the art camp now seemed so appealing. Fueled by this newfound understanding, I eagerly shared my insights with Mum, who listened attentively as I poured out my thoughts. With her approving nod and encouraging gaze, I felt a surge of determination and confidence to embrace the camp as an opportunity for artistic exploration and growth.
The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. As I handed in my registration form, the initial disappointment I felt gradually gave way to a thrilling sense of anticipation, fueled by the countless possibilities awaiting me. Throughout the camp, I immersed myself in interactive workshops, eagerly absorbing new techniques and connecting with fellow art enthusiasts like me. It turned out that the strangers I was initially afraid of were already my friends. From this experience, I realized that embracing unfamiliarity and conquering fears can pave the way for remarkable personal growth and opportunities. The towering pine tree in the Westons’ yard serves as a constant reminder that the strongest growth often springs from venturing into the unknown world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者有绘画天赋,想要参加艺术营,又因为很难像朋友艾米丽一样融入群体而不敢于去参与。作者在画松树的时候遇到了Weston先生,Weston先生的话给了作者启发。作者意识到应该重新评估自己对于生活的态度。作者决定去参加艺术营,在画画的时候专心致志,交到了朋友,也接触了一个全新的世界,展现了一个关于勇敢面对未知、克服恐惧并实现个人成长的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他的话让我陷入了思考。”以及第二段首句内容“接下来的周一,我报名参加了艺术营。”可知,第一段可描写作者不禁想到自己,自己也需要像树一样走出自己的舒适区才能学到有价值的东西,在妈妈的鼓励下,作者决定去报名。
②由第二段首句内容“接下来的周一,我报名参加了艺术营。”可知,第二段可描写作者在艺术营期间克服了恐惧,融入了群体中。
2.续写线索:他的话让作者陷入了沉思中——想到松树的根是向外生长而不是向下生长,作者不禁想到了自己——自己只有走出舒适区才能学到有价值的东西——于是,作者和妈妈倾诉了自己的想法——妈妈的眼中满是鼓励和自豪——于是,作者报名参加了艺术营——在艺术营期间,作者投入到互动工作坊中,并遇到了一样热爱艺术的同伴——通过这件事,作者克服了自己的恐惧,得到了成长
