My friends cast doubt on the plan, for the market was crowded with noisy vendors (小贩) and filled with pungent food smells. Their concerns proved well-founded on its opening day. Sandwiched between a pork stall and a tofu shop, my bookstore attracted barely any attention. With few customers stepping in, I felt disheartened and began to reflect on what went wrong. Never had I anticipated such a frigid beginning. It didn’t take me long to figure out where the problem lay. I had stocked my shelves with classic novels and poetry I cherished, yet they failed to meet the needs of local residents. I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food-related picture books for children. I sincerely hoped these new books would win over the locals. I also launched a “Book-for-Veggie Exchange” activity in the store. The new adjustment turned out to be highly successful. Local people soon took to this creative idea. A young mother came first with a carrot to exchange for a picture book, and before long, my counter was overflowing with fresh vegetables. The tofu vendor’s daughter, who had watched silently for weeks on end, finally stepped forward to borrow a comic. Months later, the bookstore became a warm part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce. This experience reshaped my understanding of books. I once believed books could only shine in quiet places, but now I have seen their real value. It lies in connecting with people’s everyday life: books can blend perfectly into daily routines and warm our hearts. They become meaningful and touching when combined with the hustle and bustle, food and laughter of everyday life. 4. What problem did the author face last summer? A. Doubt among close friends. B. Strong food smells in the market. C. Low store traffic in the bookstore. D. Disturbance from nearby vendors. 5. How did the author attract customers to the bookstore? A. By selling local vegetables. B. By offering reader-specific books. C. By stocking favorite classics. D. By organizing book-swap activities. 6. What can we learn about the bookstore in paragraph 3? A. It aimed at a profitable trade in farm produce. B. It funded the young children in the community. C. It reflected a harmonious integration into market life. D. It served as a popular gathering spot in the neighborhood. 7. What has the author learned from opening the bookstore? A. Better late than never. B. Books are for life, not for shelves. C. Think outside the box. D. Reading connects soul to daily life. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去年夏天在热闹的食品市场开了一家小书店，起初因书籍选择不当导致顾客稀少，后来通过调整书籍种类和开展“蔬菜换书”活动，成功吸引了当地居民，使书店成为市场生活的一部分，并从中领悟到书籍与日常生活紧密相连的真正价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Sandwiched between a pork stall and a tofu shop, my bookstore attracted barely any attention. With few customers stepping in, I felt disheartened and began to reflect on what went wrong. (我的书店夹在一个猪肉摊和一个豆腐店之间，几乎没有引起任何注意。很少有顾客光顾，我感到很沮丧，开始反思哪里出了问题。)”可知，作者面临的问题是书店顾客稀少，即客流量低。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I had stocked my shelves with classic novels and poetry I cherished, yet they failed to meet the needs of local residents. I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food-related picture books for children. (我在书架上摆满了我珍视的经典小说和诗歌，但它们未能满足当地居民的需求。因此，我决定彻底改变。我展示了家常菜谱、街头美食故事以及与食物相关的儿童图画书，以取代那些书。)”可知，作者通过提供符合当地居民需求的特定书籍来吸引顾客。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Months later, the bookstore became a warm part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce. (几个月后，书店成为了市场生活中温暖的一部分，书香与农产品的清新香气轻轻交融。)”可知，书店与市场生活和谐融合，成为市场的一部分。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I once believed books could only shine in quiet places, but now I have seen their real value. It lies in connecting with people’s everyday life: books can blend perfectly into daily routines and warm our hearts. (我曾经认为书籍只能在安静的地方发光，但现在我看到了它们的真正价值。它在于与人们的日常生活相联系：书籍可以完美地融入日常生活，温暖我们的心。)”可知，作者从开书店的经历中学到了书籍不仅仅是为了放在书架上，而是为了融入生活，与人们的日常生活紧密相连。故选B项。 C When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system. KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat.However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it. To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor.“Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground. To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods.“Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes. 8. What is the main goal of the KTU research project? A. To reduce winter heating costs. B. To capture thermal energy from soil. C. To store underground heat for later use. D. To promote hydraulic system efficiency. 9. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4? A. Phase change makes heat control possible. B. Hydraulic losses can be avoided by heat transfer. C. Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops. D. Heat production poses a great challenge to experts. 10. What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems? A. Building large-scale industrial heating systems. B. Developing test models with improved control. C. Applying the technology to residential sectors. D. Reducing the energy consumption of buildings. 11. Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text? A. From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path B. Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating C. A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain D. The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了考纳斯理工大学 (KTU)的研究人员发现可以利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统，介绍了该研究的背景、过程、实际应用以及未来的发展方向。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. (他们研究的核心是一个基于地面的热蓄能器，它可以将剩余的能量储存在地下，并在需求高峰时提供能量。)”可知，KTU研究项目的主要目标是将地下的热量储存起来以备后用。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor. “Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. (在一次测试中，当土壤被加热到沸点时，会引起相变，即液态水变成蒸汽。“相变可以是一种有效的方式。我们注意到，蒸汽流到达的任何地方，温度都会急剧上升。这意味着能量在移动，是可以控制的。”Ždankus教授说。)”可知，相变使热量控制成为可能。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods. (为了使这些基于地面的存储系统得到广泛应用，研究人员目前正在开发缩小的试点模型，并改进热量分配控制方法。)”可知，研究人员正在开发具有改进控制的测试模型，以实现该系统的实际应用。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy (热能) storage system. (考纳斯理工大学 (KTU)的研究人员在我们脚下发现了一个创新的解决方案：利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员发现可以利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统，所以“脚下的土地：热能储存的新前沿”可以作为文章标题。故选D项。 D Have you ever found someone copying your gestures or facial expressions during a conversation? This is the Chameleon (变色龙) Effect, the nonconscious mimicry (模仿) of others’ behaviors. Just like a chameleon integrates into its environment, people unconsciously mimic others’ gestures, mannerisms or accents to build connections and smooth interactions, which is a common yet easily overlooked human trait. Psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand proved the Chameleon Effect in a 1999 experiment. They asked 78 participants to talk with experimenters during a personality test. To avoid conscious mimicry, researchers used photos as a distraction during conversations. The results showed participants unconsciously increased face touching by 20% and foot movement by 50% to match the experimenters. Another part found people who were mimicked rated the experimenters more positively, showing mimicry boosts likability. The Chameleon Effect stems from two main reasons. It is rooted in human empathy — people mimic others to share feelings and build emotional bonds. It also evolved as a survival trait: fitting in with a group helps people gain support and avoid danger. In daily life, this explains why couples or close friends gradually adopt similar speech habits or gestures. This effect also appears in speech and social settings. People may unconsciously pick up others’ accents or phrases after long interactions. For example, a football player once accidentally used a French accent during an interview after living in France for months, a typical display of the effect. However, excessive mimicry may make people lose their sense of self. Such over-mimicry can lead to confusion about one’s true personality. Overall, the Chameleon Effect is a positive social tool that promotes connection and empathy. It helps reduce social tension and build trust between people. While it helps people integrate into groups, balancing mimicry with self-identity is crucial to avoiding losing oneself in social interactions. With this awareness, people can use the effect wisely while preserving their own uniqueness. 12. Which of the following is an example of the “Chameleon Effect”? A. A girl copies her deskmate’s movements. B. A driver follows a policeman’s directions. C. An applicant learns the judge’s expressions by heart. D. An assistant practices a foreigner’s tones on purpose. 13. What can be inferred about the “Chameleon Effect” from paragraph 2? A. Personality changes with conscious mimicry. B. Likability increases mimicry in conversations. C. People mimic others to gain group acceptance. D. Mimicry arouses shared feelings between couples. 14. What is the downside of excessive mimicry? A. The loss of self-identity. B. An end to true connection. C. The failure of mutual trust. D. A decrease in social tension. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the “Chameleon Effect”? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Dismissive. D. Cautious. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“变色龙效应”，即人们无意识地模仿他人的行为以建立联系和促进互动，探讨了其产生的原因、表现以及过度模仿的负面影响，并指出要平衡模仿与自我认同。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Have you ever found someone copying your gestures or facial expressions during a conversation? This is the Chameleon (变色龙) Effect, the nonconscious mimicry (模仿) of others’ behaviors. (你是否发现有人在对话中模仿你的手势或面部表情？这就是变色龙效应，即无意识地模仿他人的行为。)”可知，变色龙效应是无意识地模仿他人行为。A选项“一个女孩模仿她同桌的动作”，符合无意识模仿这一特点，是变色龙效应的例子。B选项“司机听从警察的指挥”，是有意识的行为；C选项“申请人用心学习评委的表情”，是有意识的；D选项“助手故意练习外国人的语调”，是有意为之。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It also evolved as a survival trait: fitting in with a group helps people gain support and avoid danger. (它也是一种生存特征：融入群体有助于人们获得支持并避免危险。)”可知，人们模仿他人是为了融入群体，获得群体接受。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, excessive mimicry may make people lose their sense of self. Such over-mimicry can lead to confusion about one’s true personality. (然而，过度模仿可能会让人失去自我意识。这种过度模仿会导致对自己真实性格的困惑。)”可知，过度模仿的缺点是失去自我意识。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While it helps people integrate into groups, balancing mimicry with self-identity is crucial to avoiding losing oneself in social interactions. With this awareness, people can use the effect wisely while preserving their own uniqueness. (虽然它有助于人们融入群体，但在社交互动中平衡模仿与自我认同对于避免迷失自我至关重要。有了这种意识，人们可以明智地利用这种效应，同时保持自己的独特性。)”可知，作者认为要平衡模仿与自我认同，明智利用变色龙效应，说明作者对变色龙效应持谨慎态度。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Maybe you are feeling down because of the financial crisis.

We found a safe, affordable place to live. Once we got settled in, I was determined to find employment. After a few days of searching and applying, I was fortunate to find a job as an administrative assistant with Young & Rubicam, a famous advertising agency. I wasn’t thrilled about the job because I had graduated with a degree to teach English, but the pay was good, and the extra money was a blessing. The job was rather dull, though, mainly typing letters, answering phones, setting up for conferences, filing, scheduling meetings, arranging travel for the copywriters (撰稿人), etc. I felt that what I was doing was insignificant. As letters or travel brochures would come across my desk to be typed, I would read over them. Often, there were grammatical errors or the spelling was not always accurate, but since it wasn’t my job to correct them, I typed them as they were given to me. One day, I was talking to my grandmother, LouOlive Graham. Anyone not related to her called her Lou. Everybody else, including all twelve of her children and fifteen grandchildren, called her “Muh”. Muh was a wise woman lady. Her children adored and admired her. There was nothing better than to spend a day with Muh, which meant you were going to hear fascinating stories about her growing up, while savoring her tea and cakes. Over tea, I said, “Muh, you should see the things that come across my desk — letters, memos, and brochures with crazy grammar, poor spelling, and awkward sentences. But I guess it’s not my job to correct them.” Then, I added that I only did what they paid me to do. Muh listened attentively, as she always did, and after I finished, she said very calmly, “Honey, don’t just do enough to get by. Always do your best work. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. You may find more enjoyment in the job if you do your best. Plus, it never hurts you to let people know that you can do more than what they hired you to do.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I thought long and hard about what she said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next year, a position became available for an assistant copywriter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version I thought long and hard about what she said. The next day at work, I began proofreading every document that came my way, correcting grammatical errors and awkward sentences before typing them. When my supervisor noticed the improved quality, she raised an eyebrow with pleasant surprise. From then on, I took pride in producing work that was not just acceptable but excellent. I even started offering suggestions for phrasing in the travel brochures, which the copywriters appreciated. Gradually, the dull job became engaging. Muh was right — doing my best transformed my attitude and work experience entirely. The next year, a position became available for an assistant copywriter. To my surprise, my supervisor approached me before the job was even posted. “I’ve been impressed by your work,” she said. “Your writing skills and attention to detail rival those of our copywriters.” She encouraged me to apply, and I did. When I got the offer, the first person I called was Muh. Her warm voice carried a hint of pride: “See, honey? Doing your best never goes unnoticed.” I smiled, grateful for her wisdom that had guided me from doing just enough to becoming truly valued. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者随丈夫搬到纽约后，找到一份行政助理工作，虽因专业不对口不太满意，但薪酬不错。工作单调，常遇到有语法拼写错误的文件。一天作者与奶奶喝茶时向祖母抱怨此事，奶奶劝诫作者不要只满足于把工作做到刚好合格，要全力以赴做到最好，这样既能从工作中获得更多乐趣，也能让他人知晓自己能力不止于所聘岗位要求 。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我反复仔细思考了她所说的话。”可知，第一段可描写作者认真思考奶奶的话后，在工作上做出的积极改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二年，公司有一个助理文案编辑的职位空缺。”可知，第二段可描写作者申请助理文案的职位，并且成功了，作者感激奶奶。 2.续写线索：作者检查文件——主管惊讶——作者积极改变——文案编辑职位空缺——主管找到作者——主管鼓励作者申请这个职位——得到职位——打电话给奶奶——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①校对：proofread/copyedit ②鼓励：encourage/inspire ③打电话：call/ring up 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] The next day at work, I began proofreading every document that came my way, correcting grammatical errors and awkward sentences before typing them.

B Last summer, I made a rather unconventional decision to run a small bookstore in the bustling food market of my neighborhood. My friends cast doubt on the plan, for the market was crowded with noisy vendors (小贩) and filled with pungent food smells. Their concerns proved well-founded on its opening day. Sandwiched between a pork stall and a tofu shop, my bookstore attracted barely any attention. With few customers stepping in, I felt disheartened and began to reflect on what went wrong. Never had I anticipated such a frigid beginning. It didn’t take me long to figure out where the problem lay. I had stocked my shelves with classic novels and poetry I cherished, yet they failed to meet the needs of local residents. I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food-related picture books for children. I sincerely hoped these new books would win over the locals. I also launched a “Book-for-Veggie Exchange” activity in the store. The new adjustment turned out to be highly successful. Local people soon took to this creative idea. A young mother came first with a carrot to exchange for a picture book, and before long, my counter was overflowing with fresh vegetables. The tofu vendor’s daughter, who had watched silently for weeks on end, finally stepped forward to borrow a comic. Months later, the bookstore became a warm part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce. This experience reshaped my understanding of books. I once believed books could only shine in quiet places, but now I have seen their real value. It lies in connecting with people’s everyday life: books can blend perfectly into daily routines and warm our hearts. They become meaningful and touching when combined with the hustle and bustle, food and laughter of everyday life. 4. What problem did the author face last summer? A. Doubt among close friends. B. Strong food smells in the market. C. Low store traffic in the bookstore. D. Disturbance from nearby vendors. 5. How did the author attract customers to the bookstore? A. By selling local vegetables. B. By offering reader-specific books. C. By stocking favorite classics. D. By organizing book-swap activities. 6. What can we learn about the bookstore in paragraph 3? A. It aimed at a profitable trade in farm produce. B. It funded the young children in the community. C. It reflected a harmonious integration into market life. D. It served as a popular gathering spot in the neighborhood. 7. What has the author learned from opening the bookstore? A. Better late than never. B. Books are for life, not for shelves. C. Think outside the box. D. Reading connects soul to daily life. C When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system. KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat.However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it. To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor.“Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground. To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods.“Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes. 8.

Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating C. A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain D. The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage D Have you ever found someone copying your gestures or facial expressions during a conversation? This is the Chameleon (变色龙) Effect, the nonconscious mimicry (模仿) of others’ behaviors. Just like a chameleon integrates into its environment, people unconsciously mimic others’ gestures, mannerisms or accents to build connections and smooth interactions, which is a common yet easily overlooked human trait. Psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand proved the Chameleon Effect in a 1999 experiment. They asked 78 participants to talk with experimenters during a personality test. To avoid conscious mimicry, researchers used photos as a distraction during conversations. The results showed participants unconsciously increased face touching by 20% and foot movement by 50% to match the experimenters. Another part found people who were mimicked rated the experimenters more positively, showing mimicry boosts likability. The Chameleon Effect stems from two main reasons. It is rooted in human empathy — people mimic others to share feelings and build emotional bonds. It also evolved as a survival trait: fitting in with a group helps people gain support and avoid danger. In daily life, this explains why couples or close friends gradually adopt similar speech habits or gestures. This effect also appears in speech and social settings. People may unconsciously pick up others’ accents or phrases after long interactions. For example, a football player once accidentally used a French accent during an interview after living in France for months, a typical display of the effect. However, excessive mimicry may make people lose their sense of self. Such over-mimicry can lead to confusion about one’s true personality. Overall, the Chameleon Effect is a positive social tool that promotes connection and empathy. It helps reduce social tension and build trust between people. While it helps people integrate into groups, balancing mimicry with self-identity is crucial to avoiding losing oneself in social interactions. With this awareness, people can use the effect wisely while preserving their own uniqueness. 12. Which of the following is an example of the “Chameleon Effect”? A. A girl copies her deskmate’s movements. B. A driver follows a policeman’s directions. C. An applicant learns the judge’s expressions by heart. D.

Likability increases mimicry in conversations. C. People mimic others to gain group acceptance. D. Mimicry arouses shared feelings between couples. 14. What is the downside of excessive mimicry? A. The loss of self-identity. B. An end to true connection. C. The failure of mutual trust. D. A decrease in social tension. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the “Chameleon Effect”? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Dismissive. D. Cautious. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Maybe you are feeling down because of the financial crisis.

We found a safe, affordable place to live. Once we got settled in, I was determined to find employment. After a few days of searching and applying, I was fortunate to find a job as an administrative assistant with Young & Rubicam, a famous advertising agency. I wasn’t thrilled about the job because I had graduated with a degree to teach English, but the pay was good, and the extra money was a blessing. The job was rather dull, though, mainly typing letters, answering phones, setting up for conferences, filing, scheduling meetings, arranging travel for the copywriters (撰稿人), etc. I felt that what I was doing was insignificant. As letters or travel brochures would come across my desk to be typed, I would read over them. Often, there were grammatical errors or the spelling was not always accurate, but since it wasn’t my job to correct them, I typed them as they were given to me. One day, I was talking to my grandmother, LouOlive Graham. Anyone not related to her called her Lou. Everybody else, including all twelve of her children and fifteen grandchildren, called her “Muh”. Muh was a wise woman lady. Her children adored and admired her. There was nothing better than to spend a day with Muh, which meant you were going to hear fascinating stories about her growing up, while savoring her tea and cakes. Over tea, I said, “Muh, you should see the things that come across my desk — letters, memos, and brochures with crazy grammar, poor spelling, and awkward sentences. But I guess it’s not my job to correct them.” Then, I added that I only did what they paid me to do. Muh listened attentively, as she always did, and after I finished, she said very calmly, “Honey, don’t just do enough to get by. Always do your best work. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. You may find more enjoyment in the job if you do your best. Plus, it never hurts you to let people know that you can do more than what they hired you to do.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I thought long and hard about what she said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next year, a position became available for an assistant copywriter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
