第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
The Future of Clean Energy in Homes
Heating, cooling, and powering homes contribute significantly to global CO₂ emissions. As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source.
ELECTRICITY 52%
HEATING 28%
COOLING 12%
APPLIANCES 6%
LIGHTING 2%
Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability.
HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling
Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future.
SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management
AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups.
SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution
Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions.
WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids
Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable.
1. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions?
A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling.
C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances.
2. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates?
A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines.
3. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition?
A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency.
C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology.
B
Many people assume that siblings naturally grow up to be close, but for me, that wasn’t the case. When I was seven, I moved from London to Florida with my two sisters, while my four brothers stayed behind. We didn’t reunite until I was seventeen. The long separation and lack of communication caused our bond to fade completely.
This emotional distance still affects me. I feel grief when I see other families enjoying sibling vacations or holiday jokes. I’ve come to understand that our broken relationships were caused by family changes, poor communication, and favoritism (偏袒) — experiences that are common for many. Therapist (治疗专家) Phebe Brako-Owusu explains that sudden family shifts without explanation or emotional support can seriously hurt children. Favoritism, too, can damage sibling trust and create pressure, even for the so-called “favorite” child.
Understanding the causes helped, but healing didn’t begin until I started therapy. Therapy helped me recognize how not having my feelings understood led to bitterness and silence. It also helped me take responsibility for my role in these conflicts and show empathy toward my siblings’ experiences. Experts suggest doing personal work before trying to reconnect with siblings, and if you do choose to talk, use “I” statements and be clear about your purpose — whether it’s trying to make peace or setting boundaries.
As a parent now, I reflect on how parents can prevent such issues. Brako-Owusu recommends encouraging open communication, avoiding favoritism, and creating space for siblings to bond. Even if a relationship can’t be repaired now, it doesn’t mean it never will. I hold on to hope that someday my siblings and I may reconnect.
4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She remained close to her brothers through letters.
B. She was excited to live in the U. S. with her sisters.
C. She never wanted to be taken away from hometown.
D. She was emotionally affected by the move at age seven.
5. Which of the following would Brako-Owusu most likely disapprove of?
A. Sharing decision-making.
B. Not explaining family change.
C. Seeking for psychological help.
D. Not favoring a certain child.
6. What is advised before trying to reconnect with siblings, according to experts?
A. Going through necessary self-reflection.
B. Focusing on building new family traditions.
C. Waiting for siblings to initiate the conversation.
D. Breaking down boundaries without conditions.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards repairing her relationship with her siblings?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic.
C. Indifferent. D. Reserved.
C
Science is always seen as hard-core and hard to understand. But could you imagine hundreds of people being attracted by the cover of a science magazine?
The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the cover of an October issue of Structure, a US-based Cell Press journal. The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that vividly shows the process in which a special enzyme (酶) involved in the biosynthesis (生物合成) of an important organic compound is activated―the latest breakthrough by a Chinese scientific research team. Another one of his popular works that carries distinctive Chinese elements is a composite image, describing a scientist as the folk goddess Nyuwa, carrying her newly discovered compound to fill a crack in the sky.
While studying chemistry at university, Wang Yixi often came across an experimental preparation process that he had to explain, but the amount of text was too large and abstract. As he had been interested in drawing, and related software like Photoshop, he decided to turn his graphics into a fine art. He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers.
It didn’t take long before his classmates and professors noticed his talents and asked him to help them with their papers. By word of mouth, more people beat a path to Wang’s door and were willing to pay for his service. Over the past four years, Wang and his team have come up with more than 10,000 visual works for academic papers across a variety of fields, many of which have made their way to the world’s top academic journals, including Nature, Science and Cell.
“Every scientific paper is innovative, and graphics are an essential part of scientific papers,” Wang says, adding that what he tries to achieve is an explanation of models or methods, to showcase experimental results, visually process data or compare differences among experiments.
8. What play a special role in Wang’s works?
A. Fairytales. B. Chinese elements. C. Rich colors. D. Complex structures.
9. What can we learn about Wang Yixi from paragraph 3?
A. He preferred painting to Chemistry. B. He developed useful mapping software.
C. He had an active mind to solve problem. D. He had trouble conducting his experiment.
10. How does Wang make abstract papers easily understood?
A. By visualizing them vividly. B. By showing them accurately.
C. By explaining them in detail. D. By constructing them uniquely
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The power of art B. Dilemmas of science
C. Mysteries of Chemistry D. Inspiration from science
D
When it comes to problem-solving, almost everyone can use either insightful or analytical methods, but many people tend to use one rather than the other. Mathematician Roger Penrose, for example, can obviously think analytically but rather seems to be naturally insightful. “I do most of my thinking in visual terms rather than writing down equations (方程式),” he once said in an interview.
In the 2010s Brian Erickson, then a doctoral student at Drexel University, and his colleagues demonstrated that people’s tendency toward insightful or analytical thinking is evident during “resting-state” brain activity — while a person relaxes with no task to perform or expectation about what is to come. Erickson recorded people’s resting-state EEGs (脑电图) and then, weeks later, tasked the same participants with solving a series of puzzles. The astonishing result: a few minutes of EEG predicted, up to seven weeks in advance, whether a person would solve the puzzles mostly insightfully or analytically. Our dominant thinking style is stable over time.
The subjects who relied mostly on insight had greater resting-state activity at the back of the brain, whereas the analytical subjects had greater activity in frontal areas. The frontal areas, where a person’s executive processes are centered, organize activity in the rest of the brain. These executive processes enable people to think in a focused and strategic way, but they can also restrict creativity by limiting thought to straightforward plans, just as a horse’s blinders block out distractions that would lead it to wander from its path. When activity in this region is relatively low, as it was for the insightful subjects, posterior (后部) areas can “go rogue,” sometimes resulting in aha! moments.
Although individuals may tend toward more analytical or insightful thinking, we aren’t locked into one or the other. Our thinking style can shift, at least temporarily, to the other strategy. This flexibility is key to making the best possible use of both creativity and logic in our decision-making. By using the right strategy at the right time, we can address challenges more effectively, enhancing our ability to think critically and innovatively.
12. What did Brian Erickson’s study reveal about resting-state brain activity?
A. It predicts our future growth.
B. It reflects our thinking ability.
C. It indicates our dominant thinking style.
D. It determines our problem-solving speed.
13. What does the underlined expression “go rogue” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Get stuck. B. Turn inactive.
C. Grow mature. D. Run wild.
14. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?
A. Follow your natural thinking style.
B. Adjust your thinking style as needed.
C. Reflect on your thinking style regularly.
D. Limit your analytical thinking to stay creative.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. People solve problems insightfully or analytically.
B. Researchers has demonstrated people’s thinking trends.
C. Brain regions impact people’s puzzle-solving differently.
D. Both creativity and logic are used in our decision-making.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Good morning, Miss Bolz.” A friendly man named Jake greeted me as he placed a breakfast tray on the table next to my bed. I struggled to sit up, but after being hospitalized several days for severe breathing difficulties, my body was still very weak.
I hated every minute here. All I wanted was to regain strength fast and go back to my apartment. Most patients were old enough to be my parents. Worse, the two elderly women in my room kept me up awake every night with their moans and cries. I was on edge, didn’t feel like talking to anyone, and was totally tired from not sleeping well.
Luckily, there was one good thing about my stay here: the food was nice. Since I had to take medicine that made me feel more hungry than usual, I was thankful to have three delicious meals every day.
“You give me oatmeal (燕麦粥) again. Thanks for remembering that, it’s my favorite breakfast!” I told the young man who had brought my tray.
Jake’s eyebrows jumped in surprise. “Oh — uh, thanks. Actually, we make oatmeal for everyone every morning. But... no one’s ever said they like it before.” He rubbed the back of his neck, his voice softening a little. “The kitchen team gets up at 5 a. m. to bake bread and stir the oatmeal just right. Most days, all they hear is ‘too cold’ or ‘not sweet enough.’ This… this really means a lot.”
As he carried trays to the two women in my room, my eyes fell on the breakfast menu on my tray. A clear thought popped into my head: why not turn this one kind word into a daily routine? If a few simple words could make Jake smile like that, think how happy they’d make the kitchen team. And maybe — just maybe — it could make these long, boring days feel a little brighter for me too.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I pulled out the pen and wrote on the menu. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Slowly, the days felt less boring. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Many people assume that siblings naturally grow up to be close, but for me, that wasn’t the case. When I was seven, I moved from London to Florida with my two sisters, while my four brothers stayed behind. We didn’t reunite until I was seventeen. The long separation and lack of communication caused our bond to fade completely.
This emotional distance still affects me. I feel grief when I see other families enjoying sibling vacations or holiday jokes. I’ve come to understand that our broken relationships were caused by family changes, poor communication, and favoritism (偏袒) — experiences that are common for many. Therapist (治疗专家) Phebe Brako-Owusu explains that sudden family shifts without explanation or emotional support can seriously hurt children. Favoritism, too, can damage sibling trust and create pressure, even for the so-called “favorite” child.
Understanding the causes helped, but healing didn’t begin until I started therapy. Therapy helped me recognize how not having my feelings understood led to bitterness and silence. It also helped me take responsibility for my role in these conflicts and show empathy toward my siblings’ experiences. Experts suggest doing personal work before trying to reconnect with siblings, and if you do choose to talk, use “I” statements and be clear about your purpose — whether it’s trying to make peace or setting boundaries.
As a parent now, I reflect on how parents can prevent such issues. Brako-Owusu recommends encouraging open communication, avoiding favoritism, and creating space for siblings to bond. Even if a relationship can’t be repaired now, it doesn’t mean it never will. I hold on to hope that someday my siblings and I may reconnect.

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者自身的经历探讨了兄弟姐妹关系疏远的原因,并提出了修复这种关系的建议和希望。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was seven, I moved from London to Florida with my two sisters, while my four brothers stayed behind. We didn’t reunite until I was seventeen. The long separation and lack of communication caused our bond to fade completely.(我七岁的时候,和两个姐妹从伦敦搬到了佛罗里达,而我的四个兄弟留在了伦敦。我们直到17岁才团聚。长时间的分离和缺乏沟通使我们的关系完全淡化了)”可知,作者七岁时搬家,与兄弟分离十年,亲情关系淡化,由此可推知,作者在七岁时受到搬家的影响,在情感上受到了影响。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Therapist (治疗专家) Phebe Brako-Owusu explains that sudden family shifts without explanation or emotional support can seriously hurt children.(治疗专家Phebe Brako-Owusu解释说,突然的家庭变化如果没有解释或情感支持,会严重伤害孩子)”可推知,Brako-Owusu认为突然的家庭变化而没有解释会伤害孩子,所以她最可能不赞成不解释家庭变化。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Experts suggest doing personal work before trying to reconnect with siblings, and if you do choose to talk, use “I” statements and be clear about your purpose — whether it’s trying to make peace or setting boundaries.(专家建议,在尝试与兄弟姐妹修复关系前先做好自我调整。如果决定沟通,请多用“我”开头的表达方式,并明确自己的目的——无论是为了和解还是设立界限)”可知,专家建议,在试图与兄弟姐妹重新联系之前要先做好自我调整,要明确自己的目的,即先进行必要的自我反省。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Even if a relationship can’t be repaired now, it doesn’t mean it never will. I hold on to hope that someday my siblings and I may reconnect.(即使现在一段关系无法修复,也不意味着永远不会。我抱着希望,希望有一天我和我的兄弟姐妹能重新联系上)”可知,作者对修复与兄弟姐妹的关系持乐观态度。故选B项。

Science is always seen as hard-core and hard to understand. But could you imagine hundreds of people being attracted by the cover of a science magazine?
The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the cover of an October issue of Structure, a US-based Cell Press journal. The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that vividly shows the process in which a special enzyme (酶) involved in the biosynthesis (生物合成) of an important organic compound is activated―the latest breakthrough by a Chinese scientific research team. Another one of his popular works that carries distinctive Chinese elements is a composite image, describing a scientist as the folk goddess Nyuwa, carrying her newly discovered compound to fill a crack in the sky.
While studying chemistry at university, Wang Yixi often came across an experimental preparation process that he had to explain, but the amount of text was too large and abstract. As he had been interested in drawing, and related software like Photoshop, he decided to turn his graphics into a fine art. He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers.
It didn’t take long before his classmates and professors noticed his talents and asked him to help them with their papers. By word of mouth, more people beat a path to Wang’s door and were willing to pay for his service. Over the past four years, Wang and his team have come up with more than 10,000 visual works for academic papers across a variety of fields, many of which have made their way to the world’s top academic journals, including Nature, Science and Cell.
“Every scientific paper is innovative, and graphics are an essential part of scientific papers,” Wang says, adding that what he tries to achieve is an explanation of models or methods, to showcase experimental results, visually process data or compare differences among experiments.
8. What play a special role in Wang’s works?
A. Fairytales. B. Chinese elements. C. Rich colors. D. Complex structures.
9. What can we learn about Wang Yixi from paragraph 3?
A. He preferred painting to Chemistry. B. He developed useful mapping software.
C. He had an active mind to solve problem. D. He had trouble conducting his experiment.
10. How does Wang make abstract papers easily understood?
A. By visualizing them vividly. B. By showing them accurately.
C. By explaining them in detail. D. By constructing them uniquely
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The power of art B. Dilemmas of science
C. Mysteries of Chemistry D. Inspiration from science
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Wang Yixi通过使用中国元素生动地展现了科学过程,解释了他的灵感来源以及贡献。

When it comes to problem-solving, almost everyone can use either insightful or analytical methods, but many people tend to use one rather than the other. Mathematician Roger Penrose, for example, can obviously think analytically but rather seems to be naturally insightful. “I do most of my thinking in visual terms rather than writing down equations (方程式),” he once said in an interview.
In the 2010s Brian Erickson, then a doctoral student at Drexel University, and his colleagues demonstrated that people’s tendency toward insightful or analytical thinking is evident during “resting-state” brain activity — while a person relaxes with no task to perform or expectation about what is to come. Erickson recorded people’s resting-state EEGs (脑电图) and then, weeks later, tasked the same participants with solving a series of puzzles. The astonishing result: a few minutes of EEG predicted, up to seven weeks in advance, whether a person would solve the puzzles mostly insightfully or analytically. Our dominant thinking style is stable over time.
The subjects who relied mostly on insight had greater resting-state activity at the back of the brain, whereas the analytical subjects had greater activity in frontal areas. The frontal areas, where a person’s executive processes are centered, organize activity in the rest of the brain. These executive processes enable people to think in a focused and strategic way, but they can also restrict creativity by limiting thought to straightforward plans, just as a horse’s blinders block out distractions that would lead it to wander from its path. When activity in this region is relatively low, as it was for the insightful subjects, posterior (后部) areas can “go rogue,” sometimes resulting in aha! moments.
Although individuals may tend toward more analytical or insightful thinking, we aren’t locked into one or the other. Our thinking style can shift, at least temporarily, to the other strategy. This flexibility is key to making the best possible use of both creativity and logic in our decision-making. By using the right strategy at the right time, we can address challenges more effectively, enhancing our ability to think critically and innovatively.
12. What did Brian Erickson’s study reveal about resting-state brain activity?
A. It predicts our future growth.
B. It reflects our thinking ability.
C. It indicates our dominant thinking style.
D. It determines our problem-solving speed.
13. What does the underlined expression “go rogue” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Get stuck. B. Turn inactive.
C. Grow mature. D. Run wild.
14. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?
A. Follow your natural thinking style.
B. Adjust your thinking style as needed.
C. Reflect on your thinking style regularly.
D. Limit your analytical thinking to stay creative.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. People solve problems insightfully or analytically.
B. Researchers has demonstrated people’s thinking trends.
C. Brain regions impact people’s puzzle-solving differently.
D. Both creativity and logic are used in our decision-making.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在解决问题时,会倾向于使用洞察力或分析方法,并介绍了相关研究结果,同时指出人们可以调整自己的思维方式。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Erickson recorded people’s resting-state EEGs (脑电图) and then, weeks later, tasked the same participants with solving a series of puzzles. The astonishing result: a few minutes of EEG predicted, up to seven weeks in advance, whether a person would solve the puzzles mostly insightfully or analytically. Our dominant thinking style is stable over time. (Erickson记录了人们的静息状态脑电图,然后在几周后,让这些参与者解决一系列谜题。令人惊讶的结果是:几分钟的脑电图就能提前多达七周预测一个人是主要靠洞察力还是分析来解决问题。随着时间的推移,我们占主导地位的思维方式是稳定的)”可知,Brian Erickson的研究揭示了静息状态下的脑电活动能表明我们占主导地位的思维方式。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The subjects who relied mostly on insight had greater resting-state activity at the back of the brain, whereas the analytical subjects had greater activity in frontal areas. The frontal areas, where a person’s executive processes are centered, organize activity in the rest of the brain. These executive processes enable people to think in a focused and strategic way, but they can also restrict creativity by limiting thought to straightforward plans, just as a horse’s blinders block out distractions that would lead it to wander from its path. When activity in this region is relatively low, as it was for the insightful subjects, posterior (后部) areas can “go rogue,” sometimes resulting in aha! moments. (主要依赖洞察力的受试者大脑后部的静息状态活动更大,而分析受试者的额叶区域活动更大。额叶是一个人执行过程的中心,负责组织大脑其他部分的活动。这些执行过程使人们能够以专注和战略性的方式思考,但它们也可以通过将思维限制在简单的计划中来限制创造力,就像马的眼罩挡住了会导致它偏离正轨的干扰一样。当这个区域的活动相对较低时,就像有洞察力的受试者一样,后部区域可能会go rogue,有时会产生顿悟时刻)”可知,分析型的人前额区域活动多,会限制创造力,而有洞察力的人这个区域活动相对低,可推测后部区域会更活跃,可能会“失控,自我发挥”,由此可知,go rogue意为“失控,自由发挥”,与Run wild意义相近。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although individuals may tend toward more analytical or insightful thinking, we aren’t locked into one or the other. Our thinking style can shift, at least temporarily, to the other strategy. This flexibility is key to making the best possible use of both creativity and logic in our decision-making. By using the right strategy at the right time, we can address challenges more effectively, enhancing our ability to think critically and innovatively. (虽然个人可能倾向于更具分析性或洞察力的思考,但我们并非只能局限于其中一种。我们的思维方式可以转变,至少暂时地转变为另一种策略。这种灵活性是在决策中充分利用创造力和逻辑的关键。通过在正确的时间使用正确的策略,我们可以更有效地应对挑战,提高我们批判性和创新性思考的能力)”可知,作者建议根据需要调整我们的思维方式。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“When it comes to problem-solving, almost everyone can use either insightful or analytical methods, but many people tend to use one rather than the other. (当谈到解决问题时,几乎每个人都可以使用有洞察力的或分析性的方法,但许多人倾向于使用其中一种而不是另一种)”以及后文围绕人们解决问题时使用的直觉型和分析型思维方式展开,介绍了相关研究以及思维方式的特点和可以调整等内容,可知文章主要讲了人们解决问题时要么使用洞察力,要么靠分析,核心围绕“人们用顿悟或分析方式解决问题”这一主题展开。故选A项。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Good morning, Miss Bolz.” A friendly man named Jake greeted me as he placed a breakfast tray on the table next to my bed. I struggled to sit up, but after being hospitalized several days for severe breathing difficulties, my body was still very weak.
I hated every minute here. All I wanted was to regain strength fast and go back to my apartment. Most patients were old enough to be my parents. Worse, the two elderly women in my room kept me up awake every night with their moans and cries. I was on edge, didn’t feel like talking to anyone, and was totally tired from not sleeping well.
Luckily, there was one good thing about my stay here: the food was nice. Since I had to take medicine that made me feel more hungry than usual, I was thankful to have three delicious meals every day.
“You give me oatmeal (燕麦粥) again. Thanks for remembering that, it’s my favorite breakfast!” I told the young man who had brought my tray.
Jake’s eyebrows jumped in surprise. “Oh — uh, thanks. Actually, we make oatmeal for everyone every morning. But... no one’s ever said they like it before.” He rubbed the back of his neck, his voice softening a little. “The kitchen team gets up at 5 a. m. to bake bread and stir the oatmeal just right. Most days, all they hear is ‘too cold’ or ‘not sweet enough.’ This… this really means a lot.”
As he carried trays to the two women in my room, my eyes fell on the breakfast menu on my tray. A clear thought popped into my head: why not turn this one kind word into a daily routine? If a few simple words could make Jake smile like that, think how happy they’d make the kitchen team. And maybe — just maybe — it could make these long, boring days feel a little brighter for me too.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I pulled out the pen and wrote on the menu. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Slowly, the days felt less boring. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I pulled out the pen and wrote on the menu. “Delicious oatmeal! The kitchen team’s effort shines through every spoonful. Thank you!” With a deep breath, I handed the menu to Jake when he returned. His eyes widened, and a grin spread across his face. “Wow, that’s really sweet of you,” he said, his voice filled with genuine appreciation. The next morning, the oatmeal came with a small note from the kitchen: “For our oatmeal lover — keep shining!” I smiled, feeling a warmth I hadn’t known in days.
Slowly, the days felt less boring. I began writing notes for every meal, praising the dishes and thanking the staff. The kitchen team started leaving playful replies, and even the two elderly women joined in, sharing stories of their own. Jake became a regular visitor, chatting about his day and bringing me extra treats. The hospital room, once a place of loneliness and frustration, transformed into a space filled with laughter and kindness. I realized that sometimes, a simple act of gratitude could turn even the toughest days into something beautiful.
【解析】
