Over the years, as I dealt with the pressure of finishing my Ph.D. and starting my post-doctor, I had grown more competitive. I pushed myself to be the first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those who could have been partners became competitors I hated.
But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive.
I emailed my tutors, explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my tutors’ support and an uncertain future, I left.
Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable researchers were sticking their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone.
Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved, and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition.
With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy.
4. How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach?
A. Overwhelmed and alone. B. Ashamed and annoyed.
C. Motivated and productive. D. Empowered and successful.
5. Why did the writer take a break?
A. He was always the last. B. He cared about himself too late.
C. He got serious homesick. D. He needed some time to readjust.
6. What does “poking their heads out of their shells” mean in paragraph 4 ?
A. Competing with others fiercely.
B. Hiding their true feelings inside.
C. Leaving their positions to have a rest.
D. Opening up about their own struggles.
7. Why does the author write the passage?
A. To describe her stress in scientific research.
B. To show the importance of strict self-demand.
C. To share her shift from competition to cooperation.
D. To explain her ways to publish papers in top journals.
C
Many of us are lucky enough to have some degree of choice over what we eat. But are the decisions we make about our diet as free as we assume?
It appears we’re hugely influenced by other people — especially those closest to us — when it comes to what we eat. Research has found that the closer and stronger two people’s connection is, the more control they have over each other’s food choices. This means social signals generally encourage us to eat more. Being around healthy eaters may guide you to eat healthier as well, though. Eating habits are also affected by what we see. “There is proof that, if you see pictures of food, that visual stimulation can inspire your desire to eat,” says a UK scientist, Suzanne Higgs.
Social media is one place where visual and social signals meet. Evidence shows if friends in your social network post regularly about particular types of food, it could lead you to copy them, for better or for worse. And research indicates that social media might be changing our relationship with food, making us think differently about what we eat. “If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food, it’s going to set a norm that eating fast food is what people do,” says Higgs.
Research suggests we’re more likely to be attracted by photos of fast food, especially some rich in saturated fat (饱和脂肪), which can make us feel good, says Ethan Pancer, a professor in Canada. Humans are biologically prepared to seek out high-calorie food — an ability that helped our ancestors survive when they searched for food.
“Healthier foods are often seen as boring in comparison, and processed food is considered ‘cool’,” a researcher from France, Tina Tessitore, adds that, “In advertising, you see unhealthy food in social settings — people having a barbeque with friends, for example, while healthy food usually focuses more on the nutritional value. If you saw friends eating salad together, it wouldn’t seem so true.” All of the findings are bothering researchers about the effects of social media, whether good or bad.
8. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs?
A. To say food pictures are harmful to us.
B. To tell people to stop eating unhealthy food.
C. To explain why people like eating with friends.
D. To show our food choices aren’t as free as we think.
9. Which of the statements might Suzanne Higgs agree with?
A. Social media fast-food posts affect diet habits.
B. Surfing the Internet makes you copy others’ meals.
C. Social media affects diet more than close friends do.
D. Seeing familiar food photos stops you from eating more.
10. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Feeling good is why we need to eat food.
B. Fast food is necessary for today’s survival.
C. Humans are born to pick high-calorie food.
D. You’re easily urged to choose food by experts.
11. What might the author focus on in the following paragraph?
A. Internet stars advertise processed food.
B. Public debate food safety and nutrition.
C. Researchers test netizens’ salad acceptance.
D. Researchers further study social media’s diet impact.
D
Screens are steadily taking over more and more of our life, leading some researchers to worry about the effect of long-term use on older adults’ brain. It has been suggested that this might lead to so-called “digital dementia” — that depending on digital technology throughout our life might harm cognitive (认知的) functioning in our later years.
But new research indicates this view doesn’t appear to be true, at least for the “digital pioneer” generation who first routinely used smartphones, computers and the Internet — and who are now reaching the age when cognitive decline often starts to appear.
In a paper published on Monday in Nature Human Behaviour researchers analyzed 57 studies of digital technology use and cognitive function in more than 400,000 older adults across the world. They found that people in the “digital pioneer” generation who engaged more with digital technology did not have higher rates of cognitive decline. In fact, technology use was associated with lower rates of cognitive decline.
One reason some researchers worried about “digital dementia” was previous research that linked television viewing, a passive activity, with negative outcomes such as an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症). “On the surface, most computer or smartphone screentime might seem similarly passive,” says the new paper’s co- author Michael Scullin, a neuroscience researcher at Baylor University. “But for this group of middle-aged and older adults, phones and computers have been used for mentally stimulating activities and for social connections, such as solving puzzles, engaging with the news, chatting with friends, or using reminders and alarms to help with daily activities.”
“This study provides a strong challenge to the widespread fears about ‘digital dementia’ and highlights the potential of technology as a tool for cognitive enrichment,” says Chiara Scarampi, a neuroscientist at the University of Geneva, who was not involved with the study. “Digital dementia” has always felt like a catchy but overstated concept to me,” she adds.“ Cognitive offloading — using tools like reminders or GPS — is not harmful by nature. In fact, it can free up cognitive resources for more complex tasks.”
12. What do we know about the “digital pioneer” generation?
A. They are addicted to digital technology.
B. They start using digital tools at an old age.
C. They are the first to use digital tools regularly.
D. They start suffering from sharp cognitive decline.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The widespread use of digital tools.
B. The challenge to “digital dementia” fears.
C. The great complexity of mental activities.
D. The meaning of the previous research finding.
14. What is Scarampi’s attitude toward “digital dementia”?
A. Supportive. B. Tolerant. C. Critical. D. Uncertain.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. “Digital Dementia”: A Widely Accepted Theory.
B. More Screen Time, Better Brain Function for the Elderly.
C. Passive Activities Are Key to Protecting Older Adults’ Memory.
D. New Study: Regular Tech Use Benefits Seniors’ Cognitive Health.

The Secret to Taking Great Notes
Taking good notes is important for learning. However, writing down every word you hear is not helpful. Here are some easy ways to take better notes.
One popular way is the Cornell Method. It divides your paper into three parts: a key words area, a note-taking area, and a summary area. ____16____ In class, take notes in the main part. After class, write key words or questions in the small part. Finally, write a short summary at the bottom. This way helps you remember things longer.

No matter which way you use, the most important thing is to think actively. Don’t just copy information quietly. ____18____ This makes you understand and remember the information at once.
Of course, the best way is the one that works for you. You can use the Cornell Method for classes and Mind Mapping for thinking of ideas. ____19____
____20____ Look through your notes in 24 hours. This helps you keep information in your long-term memory and makes exam preparation easier.
A. Then, add smaller lines for more details.
B. Some students hate taking notes in old ways.

D. Instead, write the information in your own easy words.
E. This clear structure helps you take notes and think better.
F. You can also mix different ways to make your own note-taking style.

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。
My parents always do embarrassing things! Usually, my dad sings silly songs or tells jokes before my friends. But weeks ago, my mom took that role.
While shopping, my mom and I ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school had no music teacher to help our class with a Winter Fair performance. Right then, my mom spoke up: “I know the perfect song and dance routine. I’ll teach the kids!”
Before I could even say “Please don’t”, my mom had already agreed to come to my class at 9:30 every morning for a week. She is by no means a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only time my mom ever sings is in the shower.
“Mom,” I said as we walked home, “Are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she replied. “If we want the Fair to be a success, people need to step up and volunteer.” She laughed, “We’ll have fun!”
“OK, kids!” my teacher announced at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to end silent reading a little early today, because a special guest is here to help us prepare a performance for the Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to find my mom standing at the front of the room, wearing the silliest hat I had ever seen. “I’m so excited to be here with you all!” my mom said. “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years ago. Here we go!” Oh please, oh please, I repeated in my head, let there be a fire drill, a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself — and me!
But clearly, my mom didn’t care at all about looking silly. She turned on some background music and immediately started singing and dancing away.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。
I just couldn’t believe that this was really taking place.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It turned out that my mom was really talented at performing.

Over the years, as I dealt with the pressure of finishing my Ph.D. and starting my post-doctor, I had grown more competitive. I pushed myself to be the first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those who could have been partners became competitors I hated.
But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive.
I emailed my tutors, explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my tutors’ support and an uncertain future, I left.
Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable researchers were sticking their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone.
Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved, and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition.
With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy.
4. How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach?
A. Overwhelmed and alone. B. Ashamed and annoyed.
C. Motivated and productive. D. Empowered and successful.
5. Why did the writer take a break?

Many of us are lucky enough to have some degree of choice over what we eat. But are the decisions we make about our diet as free as we assume?
It appears we’re hugely influenced by other people — especially those closest to us — when it comes to what we eat. Research has found that the closer and stronger two people’s connection is, the more control they have over each other’s food choices. This means social signals generally encourage us to eat more. Being around healthy eaters may guide you to eat healthier as well, though. Eating habits are also affected by what we see. “There is proof that, if you see pictures of food, that visual stimulation can inspire your desire to eat,” says a UK scientist, Suzanne Higgs.
Social media is one place where visual and social signals meet. Evidence shows if friends in your social network post regularly about particular types of food, it could lead you to copy them, for better or for worse. And research indicates that social media might be changing our relationship with food, making us think differently about what we eat. “If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food, it’s going to set a norm that eating fast food is what people do,” says Higgs.
Research suggests we’re more likely to be attracted by photos of fast food, especially some rich in saturated fat (饱和脂肪), which can make us feel good, says Ethan Pancer, a professor in Canada. Humans are biologically prepared to seek out high-calorie food — an ability that helped our ancestors survive when they searched for food.
“Healthier foods are often seen as boring in comparison, and processed food is considered ‘cool’,” a researcher from France, Tina Tessitore, adds that, “In advertising, you see unhealthy food in social settings — people having a barbeque with friends, for example, while healthy food usually focuses more on the nutritional value. If you saw friends eating salad together, it wouldn’t seem so true.” All of the findings are bothering researchers about the effects of social media, whether good or bad.
8. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs?
A. To say food pictures are harmful to us.
B. To tell people to stop eating unhealthy food.
C. To explain why people like eating with friends.
D. To show our food choices aren’t as free as we think.
9. Which of the statements might Suzanne Higgs agree with?
A. Social media fast-food posts affect diet habits.
B. Surfing the Internet makes you copy others’ meals.
C. Social media affects diet more than close friends do.
D. Seeing familiar food photos stops you from eating more.
10. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Feeling good is why we need to eat food.
B. Fast food is necessary for today’s survival.
C. Humans are born to pick high-calorie food.
D. You’re easily urged to choose food by experts.
11. What might the author focus on in the following paragraph?
A. Internet stars advertise processed food.
B. Public debate food safety and nutrition.
C. Researchers test netizens’ salad acceptance.
D. Researchers further study social media’s diet impact.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨人们的饮食选择并非完全自由,个人饮食会受到身边人、视觉刺激以及社交媒体的深刻影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But are the decisions we make about our diet as free as we assume?(但我们的饮食选择真的像我们以为的那样自由吗?)”和第二段“It appears we’re hugely influenced by other people — especially those closest to us — when it comes to what we eat.(说到饮食,我们其实会深受他人影响,尤其是身边最亲近的人。)”可知,前两段的写作目的是为了表明我们的饮食选择并不像想象中那样自由。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food, it’s going to set a norm that eating fast food is what people do.(如果社交媒体上的朋友们都在晒吃快餐的照片,就会形成一种风气,让大家觉得吃快餐是件很普遍的事。)”可知,Suzanne Higgs可能认同社交媒体上的快餐动态会影响饮食习惯这一说法。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Humans are biologically prepared to seek out high-calorie food.(从生理本能上来说,人类天生就会偏爱高热量食物。)”可知,从文章中我们能推断出人类天生倾向于选择高热量食物。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“All of the findings are bothering researchers about the effects of social media, whether good or bad.(所有研究结果都让研究人员对社交媒体给饮食带来的各类影响感到担忧。)”可知,作者在下一段最可能讲述研究者进一步研究社交媒体对饮食的影响。

Screens are steadily taking over more and more of our life, leading some researchers to worry about the effect of long-term use on older adults’ brain. It has been suggested that this might lead to so-called “digital dementia” — that depending on digital technology throughout our life might harm cognitive (认知的) functioning in our later years.
But new research indicates this view doesn’t appear to be true, at least for the “digital pioneer” generation who first routinely used smartphones, computers and the Internet — and who are now reaching the age when cognitive decline often starts to appear.
In a paper published on Monday in Nature Human Behaviour researchers analyzed 57 studies of digital technology use and cognitive function in more than 400,000 older adults across the world. They found that people in the “digital pioneer” generation who engaged more with digital technology did not have higher rates of cognitive decline. In fact, technology use was associated with lower rates of cognitive decline.
One reason some researchers worried about “digital dementia” was previous research that linked television viewing, a passive activity, with negative outcomes such as an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症). “On the surface, most computer or smartphone screentime might seem similarly passive,” says the new paper’s co- author Michael Scullin, a neuroscience researcher at Baylor University. “But for this group of middle-aged and older adults, phones and computers have been used for mentally stimulating activities and for social connections, such as solving puzzles, engaging with the news, chatting with friends, or using reminders and alarms to help with daily activities.”
“This study provides a strong challenge to the widespread fears about ‘digital dementia’ and highlights the potential of technology as a tool for cognitive enrichment,” says Chiara Scarampi, a neuroscientist at the University of Geneva, who was not involved with the study. “Digital dementia” has always felt like a catchy but overstated concept to me,” she adds.“ Cognitive offloading — using tools like reminders or GPS — is not harmful by nature. In fact, it can free up cognitive resources for more complex tasks.”
12. What do we know about the “digital pioneer” generation?
A. They are addicted to digital technology.
B. They start using digital tools at an old age.
C. They are the first to use digital tools regularly.
D. They start suffering from sharp cognitive decline.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The widespread use of digital tools.
B. The challenge to “digital dementia” fears.
C. The great complexity of mental activities.
D. The meaning of the previous research finding.
14. What is Scarampi’s attitude toward “digital dementia”?
A. Supportive. B. Tolerant. C. Critical. D. Uncertain.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. “Digital Dementia”: A Widely Accepted Theory.
B. More Screen Time, Better Brain Function for the Elderly.
C. Passive Activities Are Key to Protecting Older Adults’ Memory.
D. New Study: Regular Tech Use Benefits Seniors’ Cognitive Health.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了新的研究表明合理使用数字技术有益于老年人的认知健康。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But new research indicates this view doesn’t appear to be true, at least for the “digital pioneer” generation who first routinely used smartphones, computers and the Internet — and who are now reaching the age when cognitive decline often starts to appear.(但新的研究表明,这种观点其实并不成立,至少对于数字先驱一代而言是如此。他们是最早开始常态化使用智能手机、电脑和互联网的群体,如今也步入了认知能力开始衰退的年纪。)”可知,关于“数字先驱一代”,我们能了解到他们是第一批常态化使用数字工具的人。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“One reason some researchers worried about “digital dementia” was previous research that linked television viewing, a passive activity, with negative outcomes such as an increased risk ofAlzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症). “On the surface, most computer or smartphone screentime might seem similarly passive,” says the new paper's co- author Michael Scullin, a neuroscience researcher at Baylor University. “But for this group of middle-aged and older adults, phones and computers have been used for mentally stimulating activities and for social connections, such as solving puzzles, engaging with the news, chatting with friends, or using reminders and alarms to help with daily activities.” (一些研究人员担忧“数字痴呆症”的原因之一,是此前有研究将看电视这种被动活动与负面结果(如阿尔兹海默症患病风险增加)关联起来。贝勒大学的神经科学研究员、该新论文的合著者迈克尔・斯卡林表示,“表面上看,大多数使用电脑或智能手机的屏幕时间似乎同样具有被动性。但对于这一群体的中老年人来说,手机和电脑一直被用于刺激性的脑力活动和社交联系,比如解谜、关注新闻、与朋友聊天,或是使用提醒和闹钟功能协助日常活动”)”可知,第四段先解释人们担忧 “数字痴呆症” 的旧依据,再对比说明使用电子设备并非被动行为,以此推翻旧观点。由此可知,第四段主要是反驳对“数字痴呆症”的担忧。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Digital dementia” has always felt like a catchy but overstated concept to me,” she adds.(她补充道:“在我看来,‘数字痴呆症’这个说法听起来吸睛,却言过其实”)”可知,斯卡拉姆皮对“数字痴呆症”持批判的态度。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“They found that people in the “digital pioneer” generation who engaged more with digital technology did not have higher rates of cognitive decline. In fact, technology use was associated with lower rates of cognitive decline.(研究发现,在“数字先驱一代”中,频繁使用数字技术的人,认知能力衰退的概率并不会更高。事实上,使用数字技术反而与更低的认知衰退率相关。)”可知,新研究证明,使用数字技术有益于老年人的认知健康。由此可知,D项“新研究:规律使用数码产品有益于老年人认知健康”精准概括全文,适合做文章的标题。

【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:加拿大博主史蒂夫和伊万娜在视频博客中对观众表示,走在中国城市的街道上,所见景象令人赞叹、别具特色,一时间竟不知从何处说起。空处作表语,需填形容词impressive。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:近期中国放宽了入境要求,前来旅游的游客数量也随之上涨。根据时间状语“recently”可知,使用现在完成时,主语为China,助动词用has。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:官方数据显示,2025年上半年,入境上海的国际游客数量增长了近40%,其中大部分游客来自韩国、泰国和日本。“with+宾语+宾语补足语”为固定结构,most travelers和come from为逻辑主谓关系,需填现在分词形式coming,作宾语补足语。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国旅游研究院分析师刘祥艳表示:“如今外国人来中国旅游的心态,就好比过去中国人向往去欧美旅行一样。” 固定搭配be similar to,意为“与……相似”,因此填介词to。

【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:华为nova系列手机、新能源汽车品牌比亚迪等中国品牌逐步获得全球认可,也让中国的旅游吸引力不断提升。a smartphone line和make为逻辑动宾关系,需填过去分词made作后置定语。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:陈明原本是一名应用程序设计师,后来辞职在重庆创办了一家旅行社,他认为,重庆这座城市十分契合当下海外短视频平台的传播潮流。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词Chen Ming,指人,在非限定性定语从句中作主语,需用关系代词who引导。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:这类对外展示的内容,帮助海外年轻受众重新认识中国。空处作主语,且位于句首,需用不可数名词Exposure。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:陈明说道:“现在很多来华的都是年轻人,但等到他们步入二三十岁,对中国的印象必然会和以往截然不同。” 前后分句为转折关系,表示现在和未来的对比,故填转折连词but。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词differ需用副词definitely,作状语。

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。
My parents always do embarrassing things! Usually, my dad sings silly songs or tells jokes before my friends. But weeks ago, my mom took that role.
While shopping, my mom and I ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school had no music teacher to help our class with a Winter Fair performance. Right then, my mom spoke up: “I know the perfect song and dance routine. I’ll teach the kids!”
Before I could even say “Please don’t”, my mom had already agreed to come to my class at 9:30 every morning for a week. She is by no means a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only time my mom ever sings is in the shower.
“Mom,” I said as we walked home, “Are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she replied. “If we want the Fair to be a success, people need to step up and volunteer.” She laughed, “We’ll have fun!”
“OK, kids!” my teacher announced at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to end silent reading a little early today, because a special guest is here to help us prepare a performance for the Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to find my mom standing at the front of the room, wearing the silliest hat I had ever seen. “I’m so excited to be here with you all!” my mom said. “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years ago. Here we go!” Oh please, oh please, I repeated in my head, let there be a fire drill, a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself — and me!
But clearly, my mom didn’t care at all about looking silly. She turned on some background music and immediately started singing and dancing away.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。
I just couldn’t believe that this was really taking place.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It turned out that my mom was really talented at performing.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I just couldn’t believe that this was really taking place. I closed my eyes, covered my ears and shrank as low as I possibly could in my chair. After a few seconds, though, I gathered courage to uncover one ear and peek through a half-open eye. That’s when I saw the expression of pure joy on my mom’s face. She was having so much fun that I couldn’t help smiling. My classmates clapped and cheered, and I heard someone say, “Wow! Arizona’s mother is pretty talented!”
It turned out that my mom was really talented at performing. She was also good at teaching us the song and the dance steps, too. We learned quickly. By the time of the fair, I was actually proud of her for putting herself out there for us kids. Our performance at the Winter Fair was a huge success. As we drove home, I said to my mom, “I’m really glad you volunteered to help my class with the performance.” My mom reached back and squeezed my hand. “Thanks for saying that. I can see why you might have been embarrassed, but I had such a great time.”
