After a dust storm forces his crew to withdraw from Mars, astronaut Mark Watney is presumed dead and left behind.

At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $ 130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being.
Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.
She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state—deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings.
When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures.
Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.
4. Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture?
A. Because of a sports injury.
B. Because of emotional anxiety.
C. Because of financial investment.
D. Because of a firm’s recommendation.
5. What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach?
A. It relied on surroundings over needles.
B. It used finger pressure instead of needles.
C. It combined examination with assessment.
D. It prioritized observation over communication.
6. How did the author feel after having acupuncture?
A. Tired. B. Pressured. C. Cautious. D. Peaceful.
7. What does the author learn from her experience?
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B. Busy hands make a happy heart.
C. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
D. A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.
C
Climate-driving migration (迁徙) is often viewed as a modern crisis, but history tells a different story. An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Basel has shown that large-scale environmental instability shaped societies more than a thousand years ago.
Their study examined how severe hydrological (水文学的) extremes such as prolonged droughts and destructive floods in the late Tang Dynasty influenced political stability in China. The research focused on northern China, particularly the region surrounding the Yellow River, an area central to agriculture, transportation, and political power.
To understand how the climate shifted during this critical period, scientists turned to natural archives (档案) — tree rings. In wetter years, sufficient rainfall allows trees to grow more quickly, producing wider rings. In dry years, growth slows, leaving narrower rings. The longer a tree lives, the further back this environmental record extends, offering a detailed timeline of past climate conditions. The team relied on long-term tree ring datasets from the Yellow River basin to reconstruct historical runoff (径流量) patterns, which directly affected farming.
Their findings revealed that a rise in severe weather events played a part in the fall of the Tang Dynasty in 907 CE. More frequent droughts and floods placed intense pressure on the soldiers responsible for defending the frontiers, as well as on their families. Crop failures became common due to extreme weather. With shortages mounting, supply routes collapsing, and hunger spreading, many people migrated south in search of better conditions, leading to political destabilization and contributing to the Tang Dynasty’s fall.
However, the study’s first author Michael Kempf emphasizes, “Our results are approximations (近似值). The actual conditions at that time cannot be reconstructed with certainty. It’s a complex interplay of many different factors.” The study concluded that environmental phenomena and their consequences can disrupt social structures and destabilize political systems. This is a development that could occur more frequently in view of climate change today.
8. What is the main purpose of the study?
A. To question tree rings for climate research. B. To predict the potential new climate crises.
C. To link climate change to political changes. D. To analyse the reason for ancient migration.
9. How did the researchers get climate data of the Tang Dynasty?
A. By studying ancient trees’ growth patterns. B. By surveying the ancient migration routes.
C. By analyzing official historical documents. D. By examining the remains of ancient crops.
10. What did the research find about the role of climate in the late Tang Dynasty?
A. It was the major reason for the dynasty’s collapse.
B. It physically destroyed most of its frontier defence.
C. It directly resulted in the weakening of the dynasty.
D. It set off a chain of events causing the dynasty’s fall.
11. What does Michael Kempf think of the findings?
A. They overstate environmental roles. B. They are estimates and require care.
C. They ignore Tang’s social structures. D. They are accurate and widely applicable.
D
In an age dominated by digital media and rapidly advancing technology, online platforms now provide instant access to vast amounts of content, making information readily available at the click of a button. Despite this digital convenience, reading books in printed form remains fundamental and irreplaceable.
Reading printed books is far from a diminishing practice as it offers several advantages over digital formats. Reading printed materials is associated with health benefits, including reduced eye strain and improved sleep patterns compared to prolonged screen use. Research and experience alike show that reading from paper reduces digital distractions such as notifications, hyperlinks, and screen glare, allowing readers to focus more deeply on the content. This sustained attention helps readers better understand narratives and concepts and enhances long-term memory.
It is important to acknowledge that modern technology has revolutionized how people read. E-books and online learning platforms have made countless written works accessible to a broader audience, including those who may not easily access physical libraries. While some readers still cherish the tangible feel of turning pages, others appreciate the convenience of digital formats.
Nevertheless, the continued demand for printed books demonstrates that physical reading materials still hold great value. Online vendors now make it easier than ever to purchase new or second-hand books, which can be delivered directly to readers’ homes. Libraries also continue to play a vital role in promoting reading culture. Although many readers physically visit libraries, online catalogues (目录) have become essential tools for locating specific books efficiently. These digital systems help readers save time and avoid confusion when searching through shelves, showing that technology can complement (补足) rather than replace printed books.
In today’s fast-paced world, countless distractions compete for people’s attention. Smartphones, streaming services, podcasts, and the pressures of daily life often leave little room for sustained reading. Yet, whether bound in paper or stored digitally, reading remains powerful, serving as gateways to knowledge, promoting education, growth, and progress in society.
12. What does the underlined word “diminishing” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Confusing B. Fading. C. Fashionable. D. Comfortable.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Library visits have become unnecessary.
B. Book delivery services are losing popularity.
C. Digital tools may facilitate access to physical books.
D. Online catalogues have replaced traditional shelving.
14. What might the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Advocate reading regardless of its ways. B. Advise people to avoid daily distractions.
C. Resist digital books despite their convenience. D. Compare physical books and the digital ones.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Health Benefits of Reading Printed Books
B. How Libraries Are Adapting to New Technology
C. Digital Media: Distracting Most People from Reading
D. Printed Books: Holding Their Ground in a Digital Age

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。
Life can be a constant struggle against adversity. We may be at a point in our life when we’re running out of hope. Don’t be discouraged if we feel overwhelmed. At times, all we can do is take small steps.
Stop making excuses
When we fail, we often make up fancy excuses or just deny anything went wrong. But the first real step is that we have to acknowledge our disappointment and be honest about how we might have contributed to the problem when adversity strikes. Only then can we actually move past it. ____16____.
Write
Sometimes it just feels good to get our thoughts out of our head and put them down on paper. Keeping a journal allows for self-expression and self-reflection in a safe, private space — without anyone judging us. ____17____. And, after a while, we’ll be able to look back on those tough times and see just how much we’ve grown and learned along the way.
____18____
Whether it’s a big win or something small, take a moment to celebrate what we’ve done. We deserve it, and that little celebration will only help establish our sense of empowerment and self-confidence. People of achievement make time to appreciate their victories — no matter how tiny they might seem.
Change our state of mind
____19____. When we expect failure or disappointment, chances are, we will experience it. This is a psychological phenomenon known as the self-fulfilling prophecy (预言). In other words, what we anticipate eventually happens. Training our mind to view situations and problems differently can, and will, have a different result. That doesn’t mean we should just pretend everything is fine. ____20____.
A. Our thoughts define us
B. Let each success fuel us
C. Act according to others’ reactions
D. But there’s real value in picturing a better outcome
E. We can talk about whatever is weighing on us in this way
F. Try to focus our energy on those people with positive thoughts
G. Even if it’s not our fault, shifting all the blame onto others gets us nowhere

As a longtime athlete, Grandpa makes marks in almost every possible age group. ____21____, he even celebrated his 80th birthday with a series of pole vault jumps.
Much of my running passion is ____22____ by the decades my grandfather spent on the track. One memory that ____23____ is when I was thinking about joining my high school’s track and field team. To prove I had ____24____ as a runner, I tested myself by running up a(n) ____25____ local hill. Grandpa ____26____ at the top with a timer and sweet jelly beans. However, not only did I vomit (呕吐) when arriving at the top, but I had also ____27____ the goal by two seconds. But what Grandpa said afterwards ____28____ with me in my life. He didn’t care about my ____29____. He said I had tried my best, which was more important than the ____30____.
Now every time I start to feel ____31____ on the run, the image of Grandpa challenging himself at every age comes to my mind. Whenever I’m sitting with a(n) ____32____ result, I would think of the moment at the top of the hill, knowing I have____33____ what I could. Anytime my running race doesn’t go well, I reach into my pocket for my favorite jelly beans.

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。
It was a rainy evening. The supermarket aisles (走道) were crowded with people trying to finish their shopping quickly before the storm outside got worse. Maria had just finished her shift at a local café and was exhausted. She pushed a cart (手推车) filled with bread, milk, rice, and apples. Then she wandered over to the children’s toy section because her four-year-old son Ethan had asked for a superhero cosplay costume for his birthday. When she finally spotted the costume, her eyes widened at the price. Then exactly at the time her phone rang. It was Ethan asking if she’d found what he had requested.
Maria’s heart just dropped. She only had 40 dollars in her purse — not nearly enough. She stood there for what felt like ages, lifting the box off the shelf and setting it back down, over and over again. In the end, she left it behind. She had carefully counted every dollar in her purse before entering the store. She knew she had just enough to cover the essentials, maybe with a little left for the bus ride home. She had been struggling ever since her husband lost his job, and every shopping trip felt like solving a difficult puzzle: What did they need the most? What could wait until next week?
As she turned around to leave, she nearly bumped (撞) into a man who’d been waiting behind her the whole time. He’d clearly been trying to get the same costume but was held up by Maria for quite a while. She quickly apologized to the man and hurried toward the checkout counter.
The cashier scanned Maria’s items and said, “Your total is $38.25.” Maria breathed in relief, knowing the total matched what she had calculated in her mind. She had only $40 in her purse. She opened it slowly, and pulled out some bills and a few coins.
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。
Just as Maria was leaving, a voice spoke from behind her, “Please wait for a moment, lady!”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Maria was more than shocked.

At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $ 130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being.
Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.
She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state—deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings.
When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures.
Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.
4. Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture?
A. Because of a sports injury.
B. Because of emotional anxiety.
C. Because of financial investment.
D. Because of a firm’s recommendation.
5. What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach?
A. It relied on surroundings over needles.
B. It used finger pressure instead of needles.
C. It combined examination with assessment.
D. It prioritized observation over communication.
6. How did the author feel after having acupuncture?
A. Tired. B. Pressured. C. Cautious. D. Peaceful.
7. What does the author learn from her experience?
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B. Busy hands make a happy heart.
C. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
D. A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.

Climate-driving migration (迁徙) is often viewed as a modern crisis, but history tells a different story. An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Basel has shown that large-scale environmental instability shaped societies more than a thousand years ago.
Their study examined how severe hydrological (水文学的) extremes such as prolonged droughts and destructive floods in the late Tang Dynasty influenced political stability in China. The research focused on northern China, particularly the region surrounding the Yellow River, an area central to agriculture, transportation, and political power.
To understand how the climate shifted during this critical period, scientists turned to natural archives (档案) — tree rings. In wetter years, sufficient rainfall allows trees to grow more quickly, producing wider rings. In dry years, growth slows, leaving narrower rings. The longer a tree lives, the further back this environmental record extends, offering a detailed timeline of past climate conditions. The team relied on long-term tree ring datasets from the Yellow River basin to reconstruct historical runoff (径流量) patterns, which directly affected farming.
Their findings revealed that a rise in severe weather events played a part in the fall of the Tang Dynasty in 907 CE. More frequent droughts and floods placed intense pressure on the soldiers responsible for defending the frontiers, as well as on their families. Crop failures became common due to extreme weather. With shortages mounting, supply routes collapsing, and hunger spreading, many people migrated south in search of better conditions, leading to political destabilization and contributing to the Tang Dynasty’s fall.
However, the study’s first author Michael Kempf emphasizes, “Our results are approximations (近似值). The actual conditions at that time cannot be reconstructed with certainty. It’s a complex interplay of many different factors.” The study concluded that environmental phenomena and their consequences can disrupt social structures and destabilize political systems. This is a development that could occur more frequently in view of climate change today.
8. What is the main purpose of the study?
A. To question tree rings for climate research. B. To predict the potential new climate crises.
C. To link climate change to political changes. D. To analyse the reason for ancient migration.
9. How did the researchers get climate data of the Tang Dynasty?
A. By studying ancient trees’ growth patterns. B. By surveying the ancient migration routes.
C. By analyzing official historical documents. D. By examining the remains of ancient crops.
10. What did the research find about the role of climate in the late Tang Dynasty?
A. It was the major reason for the dynasty’s collapse.
B. It physically destroyed most of its frontier defence.
C. It directly resulted in the weakening of the dynasty.
D. It set off a chain of events causing the dynasty’s fall.
11. What does Michael Kempf think of the findings?
A. They overstate environmental roles. B. They are estimates and require care.
C. They ignore Tang’s social structures. D. They are accurate and widely applicable.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B

In an age dominated by digital media and rapidly advancing technology, online platforms now provide instant access to vast amounts of content, making information readily available at the click of a button. Despite this digital convenience, reading books in printed form remains fundamental and irreplaceable.
Reading printed books is far from a diminishing practice as it offers several advantages over digital formats. Reading printed materials is associated with health benefits, including reduced eye strain and improved sleep patterns compared to prolonged screen use. Research and experience alike show that reading from paper reduces digital distractions such as notifications, hyperlinks, and screen glare, allowing readers to focus more deeply on the content. This sustained attention helps readers better understand narratives and concepts and enhances long-term memory.
It is important to acknowledge that modern technology has revolutionized how people read. E-books and online learning platforms have made countless written works accessible to a broader audience, including those who may not easily access physical libraries. While some readers still cherish the tangible feel of turning pages, others appreciate the convenience of digital formats.
Nevertheless, the continued demand for printed books demonstrates that physical reading materials still hold great value. Online vendors now make it easier than ever to purchase new or second-hand books, which can be delivered directly to readers’ homes. Libraries also continue to play a vital role in promoting reading culture. Although many readers physically visit libraries, online catalogues (目录) have become essential tools for locating specific books efficiently. These digital systems help readers save time and avoid confusion when searching through shelves, showing that technology can complement (补足) rather than replace printed books.
In today’s fast-paced world, countless distractions compete for people’s attention. Smartphones, streaming services, podcasts, and the pressures of daily life often leave little room for sustained reading. Yet, whether bound in paper or stored digitally, reading remains powerful, serving as gateways to knowledge, promoting education, growth, and progress in society.
12. What does the underlined word “diminishing” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Confusing B. Fading. C. Fashionable. D. Comfortable.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Library visits have become unnecessary.
B. Book delivery services are losing popularity.
C. Digital tools may facilitate access to physical books.
D. Online catalogues have replaced traditional shelving.
14. What might the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Advocate reading regardless of its ways. B. Advise people to avoid daily distractions.
C. Resist digital books despite their convenience. D. Compare physical books and the digital ones.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Health Benefits of Reading Printed Books
B. How Libraries Are Adapting to New Technology
C. Digital Media: Distracting Most People from Reading
D. Printed Books: Holding Their Ground in a Digital Age

Life can be a constant struggle against adversity. We may be at a point in our life when we’re running out of hope. Don’t be discouraged if we feel overwhelmed. At times, all we can do is take small steps.
Stop making excuses
When we fail, we often make up fancy excuses or just deny anything went wrong. But the first real step is that we have to acknowledge our disappointment and be honest about how we might have contributed to the problem when adversity strikes. Only then can we actually move past it. ____16____.
Write
Sometimes it just feels good to get our thoughts out of our head and put them down on paper. Keeping a journal allows for self-expression and self-reflection in a safe, private space — without anyone judging us. ____17____. And, after a while, we’ll be able to look back on those tough times and see just how much we’ve grown and learned along the way.
____18____
Whether it’s a big win or something small, take a moment to celebrate what we’ve done. We deserve it, and that little celebration will only help establish our sense of empowerment and self-confidence. People of achievement make time to appreciate their victories — no matter how tiny they might seem.
Change our state of mind
____19____. When we expect failure or disappointment, chances are, we will experience it. This is a psychological phenomenon known as the self-fulfilling prophecy (预言). In other words, what we anticipate eventually happens. Training our mind to view situations and problems differently can, and will, have a different result. That doesn’t mean we should just pretend everything is fine. ____20____.
A. Our thoughts define us
B. Let each success fuel us
C. Act according to others’ reactions
D. But there’s real value in picturing a better outcome
E. We can talk about whatever is weighing on us in this way

【导语】文章主要介绍了面对逆境时如何调整心态、走出困境的几种方法,包括停止找借口、书写表达、庆祝成功和改变思维模式。
【16题详解】
上文“Only then can we actually move past it.(只有那样我们才能真正克服它)”指出承认错误和失望是克服逆境的前提,G选项“Even if it’s not our fault, shifting all the blame onto others gets us nowhere(即使不是我们的错,把责任全推给别人也毫无益处)”承接上文,进一步阐释了“承认”的对立面——推卸责任的消极后果,与上文构成逻辑补充,强调承担责任的重要性,上下文语意连贯。
【17题详解】
上文“Keeping a journal allows for self-expression and self-reflection in a safe, private space — without anyone judging us.(写日记允许我们在安全、私密的空间里自我表达和自我反思——没有任何人会评判我们)”介绍了写日记的好处,E选项“We can talk about whatever is weighing on us in this way(我们可以通过这种方式谈论任何让我们感到压力的事情)”承接上文,具体说明在日记中可以进行的内容——倾诉内心负担;下文“And, after a while, we’ll be able to look back on those tough times...(过一段时间后,我们就能够回顾那些艰难时刻……)”进一步说明写日记的长期益处,上下文语意连贯。
【18题详解】
设空处为段落小标题,需概括本段内容。下文“Whether it’s a big win or something small, take a moment to celebrate what we’ve done. We deserve it, and that little celebration will only help establish our sense of empowerment and self-confidence.(无论是大胜利还是小成就,花点时间来庆祝我们所做的事情。我们值得这样做,小小的庆祝只会帮助我们建立掌控感和自信心)”强调庆祝每一个成功对建立自信的重要性,B选项“Let each success fuel us(让每一次成功激励我们)”准确概括了本段主旨,点明成功具有激励作用,与下文中的“celebrate”和“sense of empowerment”相呼应,符合小标题格式。
【19题详解】
设空处位于段落开头,下文“When we expect failure or disappointment, chances are, we will experience it. This is a psychological phenomenon known as the self-fulfilling prophecy.(当我们预期失败或失望时,我们很可能会经历它。这就是被称为自我实现预言的心理现象)”解释了预期对结果的影响——消极预期往往导致消极结果,A选项“Our thoughts define us(我们的思想定义了我们)”作为主题句,概括了下文的核心观点——思想塑造现实,与“self-fulfilling prophecy”的概念直接呼应。
【20题详解】
上文“That doesn’t mean we should just pretend everything is fine.(那并不意味着我们应该假装一切都很好)”指出改变思维模式不等于自欺欺人,D选项“But there’s real value in picturing a better outcome(但想象一个更好的结果确实有其价值)”与上文构成转折关系,在否定虚假乐观的同时肯定积极想象的实际价值;且本段主题是改变思维模式,D选项中的“picturing a better outcome”正是实现思维转变的具体方法,上下文语意连贯。

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。
It was a rainy evening. The supermarket aisles (走道) were crowded with people trying to finish their shopping quickly before the storm outside got worse. Maria had just finished her shift at a local café and was exhausted. She pushed a cart (手推车) filled with bread, milk, rice, and apples. Then she wandered over to the children’s toy section because her four-year-old son Ethan had asked for a superhero cosplay costume for his birthday. When she finally spotted the costume, her eyes widened at the price. Then exactly at the time her phone rang. It was Ethan asking if she’d found what he had requested.
Maria’s heart just dropped. She only had 40 dollars in her purse — not nearly enough. She stood there for what felt like ages, lifting the box off the shelf and setting it back down, over and over again. In the end, she left it behind. She had carefully counted every dollar in her purse before entering the store. She knew she had just enough to cover the essentials, maybe with a little left for the bus ride home. She had been struggling ever since her husband lost his job, and every shopping trip felt like solving a difficult puzzle: What did they need the most? What could wait until next week?
As she turned around to leave, she nearly bumped (撞) into a man who’d been waiting behind her the whole time. He’d clearly been trying to get the same costume but was held up by Maria for quite a while. She quickly apologized to the man and hurried toward the checkout counter.
The cashier scanned Maria’s items and said, “Your total is $38.25.” Maria breathed in relief, knowing the total matched what she had calculated in her mind. She had only $40 in her purse. She opened it slowly, and pulled out some bills and a few coins.
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。
Just as Maria was leaving, a voice spoke from behind her, “Please wait for a moment, lady!”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Maria was more than shocked.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Just as Maria was leaving, a voice spoke from behind her, “Please wait for a moment, lady!” She turned around and saw the man she had apologized to earlier, holding the superhero costume in his hand. He walked up to her with a warm smile and handed the box to her. “Every child deserves a birthday wish, and this is a small gift from me,” he said gently. Maria wanted to refuse, but the man shook his head and turned away before she could say anything more, disappearing into the crowd of shoppers.
Maria was more than shocked. She held the costume tightly in her arms, tears welling up in her eyes. The rain outside was still pouring, but she felt a warm light in her heart. She thought of Ethan’s excited face when he saw the costume, and she knew this kind stranger had made his birthday special. She whispered a quiet “thank you” into the air, even though he couldn’t hear her. As she walked out of the supermarket, she felt hopeful for the first time in a long while, knowing that kindness could always brighten a dark, rainy day.
