Today, my presentation will focus on the preparation for a college interview. After you have applied for a college you are interested in, there is a possibility that you need to prepare for in an interview before the college considers you qualified. There are two ways you can practice your interviewing skills and responses. The first is by doing interview practice with others who are also applying interview practices, I think are a good first step to understanding what an interview will be like. Your interview partner can tell you which responses are convincing and why. Now let's come to the second way. If possible, you can get an interview first with a school that matters less to you. This allows you to develop and refine your interview skills and get rid of your first interview nerves without too much at stake. I think that IT is a good idea to use both approaches from time to time. If you can, then you are going to benefit from those experiences in a real interview. okay. Next, I will focus on questions during interviews, both general and specific, that you are required to get ready for before an interview. Good morning, everyone.

Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time.
It was two years before this means of running brought out multiple physical discomforts in me. Then a major injury — my broken ankle — sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks in the nearby park — no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps. It came as a revelation: I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery.
When I returned to running, I resolved to abandon the addiction to PBs, opting for a pace gentle enough to allow off-key singing without breathing heavily. I joined a social running group, where we paused to pet dogs and share weekly stories. Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt odd, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet with this unaccustomed pace. Soon, this shift brought clarity.
One Saturday dawn, an aimless run led me to a reservoir. As I watched the sunlight sparkling on the water, I realized I hadn’t checked my electronic watch even once-no thoughts of pace or distance, just pure pleasure in running. That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the greatest personal best of all. Now, I run to unwind after a long workday, to bond with friends and to witness sunrises. Occasionally I race at full speed, only when it feels fulfilling, not driven by a device and letting go of the need to prove myself.

A. He felt tired of daily training. B. He ran to compete with others.

C. True pleasure in sports lies beyond tracking data.
D. Social connection is the ultimate goal of running.
C
Have you ever faced a very hard task? Maybe it was a big test, a speech, or a difficult project. This happens to everyone. A wise woman named Carol Gilligan once said, “Where there is resistance (抵制), there is obstacle (障碍); where there is acceptance, the obstacle disappears.” This sounds strange, doesn’t it? How can just accepting a problem make it go away? The answer lies in how our minds work.
Resistance is when we fight against reality. For example, if you are afraid of math and don’t want to practice, you are resisting. This makes the problem seem bigger and scarier. Your mind gets stuck in worry and fear, wasting energy that you could use to solve the problem. Studies show that this stress makes it harder to think clearly.
Acceptance is different. It means looking at the problem clearly and saying, “Okay, this is hard, but I can handle it.” You don’t judge yourself for finding it difficult. This stops the emotional rollercoaster (过山车). When you accept that a task is hard, you can stop worrying and start making a plan. For instance, if you accept that math takes time to learn, you can take it step by step. The fear goes away, and the problem becomes smaller. This idea works in many areas of life. An athlete who accepts being nervous can use that energy to focus. A student who accepts making mistakes can learn faster. Changing from resistance to acceptance is a skill. You can learn it by calming down and making a plan.
So, next time you face a hard thing, remember Gilligan’s words. Take a deep breath, accept the feeling, and start working. You will find that the obstacle is not as big as it seemed.
28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Ignoring challenges to save energy. B. Avoiding challenges to reduce stress.
C. Fearing challenges to stay motivated. D. Accepting challenges to overcome them.
29. What happens when we resist a difficult task?
A. We solve it quickly with focus. B. We feel calm and ready to act.
C. We learn new skills to handle it. D. We waste energy on worry and fear.
30. What does acceptance allow us to do?
A. Plan and take action effectively. B. Avoid the task completely.
C. Feel more stressed about the task. D. Doubt our ability to succeed.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show that resistance is always better. B. To describe how to avoid difficult tasks.
C. To encourage readers to accept challenges. D. To explain why challenges are impossible.
D
Scientists in Australia have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help them locate a rare bird called the Plains-wanderer. This new information will help scientists protect the birds, which are endangered.
The Plains-wanderer is a small bird that lives in Australia’s grasslands. The birds were once common in eastern Australia, but that’s changed, as grasslands have been turned into farms and cities. Zoos Victoria, the group behind the recent effort to locate Plains-wanderers, says the birds’ numbers have fallen by over 85% in recent decades. Scientists believe there are now only 250 to 1,000 of the birds left in the wild.
Zoos Victoria says, “There is no bird like it in the world.” The odd little birds are only about six inches (15 centimeters) tall. They spend most of their time on the ground. When they feel threatened, they crouch down to hide and they normally choose to run away rather than fly.
One thing that makes Plains-wanderers unusual is that the females are larger, and are in charge of protecting the territory. The male birds are smaller and take care of the eggs.
To protect these rare birds, scientists first had to learn where they were. So Zoos Victoria worked with Queensland University of Technology on a plan to locate the birds. Since Plains-wanderers are hard to spot, the team chose to “listen” for the birds instead.
Female Plains-wanderers make an unusual “Ooom” call, and this was the key to locating them. The researchers set up 35 special recording devices called “song meters” in nine different grassy areas where Plains-wanderers could possibly have been. Song meters record all the sounds made in an area over a long period of time.
The song meters collected tens of thousands of hours of recordings far more than humans could analyze. So the researchers fed the recordings to an AI system trained to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers.
Then the AI system will locate the birds and the new information it provides will help scientists protect the birds.
32. What has made the number of Plains-wanderers fall?
A. Climate change. B. People’s hunting.
C. The loss of their habitat. D. Environmental pollution.
33. What can we learn about Plains-wanderers?
A. They are large in size. B. They’re not good at flying.
C. They have excellent hearing. D. They mainly live on the water.
34. What’s the purpose of song meters?
A. To collect Plains-wanderers’ sounds.
B. To analyze Plains-wanderers’ sounds.
C. To promote Plains-wanderers’ growth.
D. To observe Plains-wanderers’ activities.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. AI System Has Been Used to Feed Rare Birds
B. Plains-wanderers Are in the Face of Extinction
C. Scientists Use AI to Track Down Endangered Birds
D. “Song Meters” Help Scientists Research Rare Birds

I found tai chi ____42____, but I couldn’t see its point. I defined fitness as ____43____ and strength. Moving slowly did not tone muscles, so I chose to ____44____ myself from the practice. Still, the ____45____ stayed with me, a seed planted.
After retirement, with a doctor’s ____46____, I returned to that park, no longer a watcher but inside the group, awkwardly moving toward the growth once seeded long ago. My early ____47____ were discouraging. I joined one class, then left; joined another, and ____48____, failing to complete the routines. I assumed that mastering tai chi meant memorizing all the ____49____. But I soon learned otherwise: What needed mastering were my own habits — impatience, resistance to correction.
Everything changed in my first expert-led class. Surrounded by advanced ____50____, I felt like a beginner when the instructor ____51____ singled me out for instruction. Embarrassed, I listened intently, watched closely and ____52____ my body to move by copying him. Ultimately, this focus helped ____53____ my embarrassment.

Mark and Elena were finally in their seats. They had been looking forward to this trip to Rome for months, saving every cent they could. As the plane took off, the steady hum of the engines seemed to promise a long, peaceful flight. Elena put on her sleep mask, and Mark adjusted his headphones, ready to watch a movie and relax. “We finally made it, honey,” Mark said, leaning back with a sigh of relief.
But the peace didn’t last long. Just after the pilot turned off the seat belt sign, a baby began to cry in the row behind them. It wasn’t just a soft whimper (呜咽); it was a loud, sharp cry that echoed through the small cabin. Mark took off his headphones and frowned. He looked at his watch and then at Elena, his face showing his frustration. Around them, other passengers were starting to whisper and glance back with annoyed expressions. The calm mood of the flight had disappeared.
Removing the sleep mask, Elena turned around and saw a young woman traveling alone. She looked completely exhausted. With one hand, she was trying to rock the baby, and with the other, she was searching through a messy bag for something. In her hurry, she accidentally dropped the pacifier (安抚奶嘴), which rolled down the aisle and stopped right at Mark’s feet, The baby cried even louder.
Mark stared at the pacifier. “I can’t believe this,” he muttered, reaching for the call button to complain to the flight attendant. He felt that after paying so much for the tickets, he deserved a quiet flight. However, Elena placed her hand over his, stopping him. She unbuckled her seat belt, reached down to pick up the pacifier and wiped it clean.
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。
“Do you need help?” Elena asked, handing the pacifier back to the woman.

Mark’s frustration melted away as he saw how Elena cared for the baby.

【原文】W: Dear listeners, welcome to Life Tips. For today’s show we have Dr. Lee, an expert on relationships. Dr. Lee, many struggle with people-pleasing habits — what’s the first step to changing?
M: Self-care is key. Be aware of what you need on a moment-by-moment basis. For example, notice when you’re hungry, tired or feeling anxious about others’ expectations. After you can recognize these more basic needs, you can start working toward recognizing what you need and value on a bigger scale.
W: People-pleasers frequently mention they can’t say “no” about other’s request. It feels wrong.
M: It’s essential to grasp that declining a request doesn’t label you as bad or disappoint others. Avoid apologizing or making excuses. When faced with demands, take time to assess your capabilities and what you prioritize. Before agreeing to any request, evaluate requests thoughtfully.
W: So, how do people-pleasers set boundaries?
M: Begin by reflecting on your personal values and limits. With a clear understanding of these elements, you can communicate your boundaries to others.
W: Thanks, Dr. Lee. That’s really valuable for our listeners.
M: My pleasure.

【答案】17. A 18. B 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: Good morning, everyone. Today, my presentation will focus on the preparation for a college interview. After you have applied for a college you are interested in, there is a possibility that you need to prepare for an interview before the college considers you qualified. There are two ways you can practice your interviewing skills and responses. The first is by doing interview practice with others who are also applying. Interview practices, I think, are a good first step to understanding what an interview will be like. Your interview partner can tell you which responses are convincing and why. Now, let’s come to the second way. If possible, you can get an interview first with a school that matters less to you. This allows you to develop and refine your interview skills and get rid of your first interview nerves without too much mistakes. I think that it is a good idea to use both approaches from time to time if you can. Then you are going to benefit from those experiences in a real interview. OK. Next, I will focus on questions during interviews, both general and specific that you are required to get ready for before an interview.

Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time.
It was two years before this means of running brought out multiple physical discomforts in me. Then a major injury — my broken ankle — sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks in the nearby park — no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps. It came as a revelation: I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery.
When I returned to running, I resolved to abandon the addiction to PBs, opting for a pace gentle enough to allow off-key singing without breathing heavily. I joined a social running group, where we paused to pet dogs and share weekly stories. Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt odd, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet with this unaccustomed pace. Soon, this shift brought clarity.
One Saturday dawn, an aimless run led me to a reservoir. As I watched the sunlight sparkling on the water, I realized I hadn’t checked my electronic watch even once-no thoughts of pace or distance, just pure pleasure in running. That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the greatest personal best of all. Now, I run to unwind after a long workday, to bond with friends and to witness sunrises. Occasionally I race at full speed, only when it feels fulfilling, not driven by a device and letting go of the need to prove myself.
24. What can we learn about the author in paragraph 1?
A. He felt tired of daily training. B. He ran to compete with others.
C. He used GPS to explore routes. D. He cared too much about his records.
25. What does the underlined word “revelation” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. A temporary relief. B. A deep regret.
C. A refreshing realization. D. A painful recovery.
26. What is the author’s current attitude towards his GPS watch?
A. Highly dependent. B. Less concerned.
C. Strongly critical. D. Deeply confused.
27. What does the author’s experience convey?
A. Physical injuries often lead to mental growth.
B. Setting practical goals is essential for athletes.
C. True pleasure in sports lies beyond tracking data.
D. Social connection is the ultimate goal of running.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者曾沉迷跑步个人最佳成绩导致受伤,伤后领悟运动真谛,放弃数据执念,开始享受跑步本身与当下的美好。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time.( 几年前,我痴迷于个人最佳成绩(PB)。我把每一次跑步都视为与时间的一场永无休止的较量,而我的GPS手表则充当着裁判的角色。除非达到目标速度,否则失败似乎已是必然;而成功只会让我更渴望下次如何跑得更快。)”可知,在第一段中,我们可以了解到作者过于在意自己的成绩记录。故选D项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Then a major injury — my broken ankle — sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks in the nearby park — no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps.( 随后,一场严重的伤势——我的脚踝骨折——让我休养了三个月,这迫使我改换成在附近的公园里缓慢而从容地散步——没有手表,没有耳机,只有脚步的节奏。)”以及“I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery.( 我注意到夕阳的金色光线透过橡树的叶子洒下,孩子们的笑声从游乐场传来,还有附近面包店飘来的新鲜出炉面包的香气)”可知,受伤后作者被迫不带任何设备慢走,第一次注意到了身边的自然与生活之美。“revelation”在此处指一种全新的、令人豁然开朗的领悟,即跑步之外还有更值得关注的事物。C选项A refreshing realization“令人振奋的领悟”符合语境。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“One Saturday dawn, an aimless run led me to a reservoir. As I watched the sunlight sparkling on the water, I realized I hadn’t checked my electronic watch even once-no thoughts of pace or distance, just pure pleasure in running. That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the greatest personal best of all.( 在一个周六的清晨,毫无目的地跑步把我带到了一个水库边。当我看着阳光在水面上闪烁时,我意识到自己竟然连一次都没有查看过电子表——没有考虑速度或距离,有的只是纯粹的跑步乐趣。就在那时,我突然领悟到:跑步的本质不在于追求数据,而在于完全沉浸于当下,拥抱周围的美好事物,并与自己的身体、自然以及世界建立联系。这才是最伟大的个人最佳体验)”可推知,作者现在对GPS手表不再那么在意。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“Now, I run to unwind after a long workday, to bond with friends and to witness sunrises. Occasionally I race at full speed, only when it feels fulfilling, not driven by a device and letting go of the need to prove myself.( 现在,我跑步是为了在漫长的工作日结束后放松身心,是为了与朋友增进感情,也是为了观赏日出。偶尔我会全速奔跑,但只有当这种奔跑让我感到满足时,我才这样做,不是受某个设备的驱使,并且我已放下了证明自己的需求)”可知,全文通过作者的亲身经历,揭示了核心主旨:运动的本质不在于追求冰冷的数据和成绩,而在于全身心投入当下,感受身体、自然与世界的美好。故选C项。
C
Have you ever faced a very hard task? Maybe it was a big test, a speech, or a difficult project. This happens to everyone. A wise woman named Carol Gilligan once said, “Where there is resistance (抵制), there is obstacle (障碍); where there is acceptance, the obstacle disappears.” This sounds strange, doesn’t it? How can just accepting a problem make it go away? The answer lies in how our minds work.
Resistance is when we fight against reality. For example, if you are afraid of math and don’t want to practice, you are resisting. This makes the problem seem bigger and scarier. Your mind gets stuck in worry and fear, wasting energy that you could use to solve the problem. Studies show that this stress makes it harder to think clearly.
Acceptance is different. It means looking at the problem clearly and saying, “Okay, this is hard, but I can handle it.” You don’t judge yourself for finding it difficult. This stops the emotional rollercoaster (过山车). When you accept that a task is hard, you can stop worrying and start making a plan. For instance, if you accept that math takes time to learn, you can take it step by step. The fear goes away, and the problem becomes smaller. This idea works in many areas of life. An athlete who accepts being nervous can use that energy to focus. A student who accepts making mistakes can learn faster. Changing from resistance to acceptance is a skill. You can learn it by calming down and making a plan.
So, next time you face a hard thing, remember Gilligan’s words. Take a deep breath, accept the feeling, and start working. You will find that the obstacle is not as big as it seemed.
28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Ignoring challenges to save energy. B. Avoiding challenges to reduce stress.
C. Fearing challenges to stay motivated. D. Accepting challenges to overcome them.
29. What happens when we resist a difficult task?
A. We solve it quickly with focus. B. We feel calm and ready to act.
C. We learn new skills to handle it. D. We waste energy on worry and fear.
30. What does acceptance allow us to do?
A. Plan and take action effectively. B. Avoid the task completely.
C. Feel more stressed about the task. D. Doubt our ability to succeed.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show that resistance is always better. B. To describe how to avoid difficult tasks.
C. To encourage readers to accept challenges. D. To explain why challenges are impossible.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】主要阐释抗拒困境只会放大难题,学会接纳挑战、平复情绪制定计划,才能从容克服生活中的艰难任务。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“A wise woman named Carol Gilligan once said, “Where there is resistance (抵制), there is obstacle (障碍); where there is acceptance, the obstacle disappears.”(一位名叫卡罗尔·吉利根的智者曾说:“有抗拒之处便有障碍,有接纳之处障碍便会消散。”)”以及最后一段中的“Take a deep breath, accept the feeling, and start working. You will find that the obstacle is not as big as it seemed.(深呼吸,接纳当下的感受并开始行动,你会发现障碍并没有看上去那么大。)”可知,文章核心告诉读者要接纳挑战,从而战胜困难。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Your mind gets stuck in worry and fear, wasting energy that you could use to solve the problem.(你的思绪陷入担忧和恐惧之中,浪费了本可以用来解决问题的精力。)”可知,当我们抗拒困难任务时,会把精力耗费在担忧和恐惧上。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When you accept that a task is hard, you can stop worrying and start making a plan.(当你接纳任务的难度时,就能停止担忧,开始制定计划。)”可知,接纳能让我们制定计划并有效采取行动。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“So, next time you face a hard thing, remember Gilligan’s words. Take a deep breath, accept the feeling, and start working.(所以下次面对难事时,记住吉利根的话,接纳情绪并付诸行动。)”可知,作者写作目的是鼓励读者接纳挑战、勇敢面对困难。

Scientists in Australia have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help them locate a rare bird called the Plains-wanderer. This new information will help scientists protect the birds, which are endangered.
The Plains-wanderer is a small bird that lives in Australia’s grasslands. The birds were once common in eastern Australia, but that’s changed, as grasslands have been turned into farms and cities. Zoos Victoria, the group behind the recent effort to locate Plains-wanderers, says the birds’ numbers have fallen by over 85% in recent decades. Scientists believe there are now only 250 to 1,000 of the birds left in the wild.
Zoos Victoria says, “There is no bird like it in the world.” The odd little birds are only about six inches (15 centimeters) tall. They spend most of their time on the ground. When they feel threatened, they crouch down to hide and they normally choose to run away rather than fly.
One thing that makes Plains-wanderers unusual is that the females are larger, and are in charge of protecting the territory. The male birds are smaller and take care of the eggs.
To protect these rare birds, scientists first had to learn where they were. So Zoos Victoria worked with Queensland University of Technology on a plan to locate the birds. Since Plains-wanderers are hard to spot, the team chose to “listen” for the birds instead.
Female Plains-wanderers make an unusual “Ooom” call, and this was the key to locating them. The researchers set up 35 special recording devices called “song meters” in nine different grassy areas where Plains-wanderers could possibly have been. Song meters record all the sounds made in an area over a long period of time.
The song meters collected tens of thousands of hours of recordings far more than humans could analyze. So the researchers fed the recordings to an AI system trained to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers.
Then the AI system will locate the birds and the new information it provides will help scientists protect the birds.
32. What has made the number of Plains-wanderers fall?
A. Climate change. B. People’s hunting.
C. The loss of their habitat. D. Environmental pollution.
33. What can we learn about Plains-wanderers?
A. They are large in size. B. They’re not good at flying.
C. They have excellent hearing. D. They mainly live on the water.
34. What’s the purpose of song meters?
A. To collect Plains-wanderers’ sounds.
B. To analyze Plains-wanderers’ sounds.
C. To promote Plains-wanderers’ growth.
D. To observe Plains-wanderers’ activities.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. AI System Has Been Used to Feed Rare Birds
B. Plains-wanderers Are in the Face of Extinction
C. Scientists Use AI to Track Down Endangered Birds
D. “Song Meters” Help Scientists Research Rare Birds

Mark and Elena were finally in their seats. They had been looking forward to this trip to Rome for months, saving every cent they could. As the plane took off, the steady hum of the engines seemed to promise a long, peaceful flight. Elena put on her sleep mask, and Mark adjusted his headphones, ready to watch a movie and relax. “We finally made it, honey,” Mark said, leaning back with a sigh of relief.
But the peace didn’t last long. Just after the pilot turned off the seat belt sign, a baby began to cry in the row behind them. It wasn’t just a soft whimper (呜咽); it was a loud, sharp cry that echoed through the small cabin. Mark took off his headphones and frowned. He looked at his watch and then at Elena, his face showing his frustration. Around them, other passengers were starting to whisper and glance back with annoyed expressions. The calm mood of the flight had disappeared.
Removing the sleep mask, Elena turned around and saw a young woman traveling alone. She looked completely exhausted. With one hand, she was trying to rock the baby, and with the other, she was searching through a messy bag for something. In her hurry, she accidentally dropped the pacifier (安抚奶嘴), which rolled down the aisle and stopped right at Mark’s feet, The baby cried even louder.
Mark stared at the pacifier. “I can’t believe this,” he muttered, reaching for the call button to complain to the flight attendant. He felt that after paying so much for the tickets, he deserved a quiet flight. However, Elena placed her hand over his, stopping him. She unbuckled her seat belt, reached down to pick up the pacifier and wiped it clean.
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。
“Do you need help?” Elena asked, handing the pacifier back to the woman.

Mark’s frustration melted away as he saw how Elena cared for the baby.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Do you need help?” Elena asked, handing the pacifier back to the woman. The young mother looked up, her eyes red and tired. “I’m so sorry for the noise,” she said quietly. “It’s just — he won’t stop crying, and I can’t find his milk.” Elena smiled warmly. “Let me hold him for a moment while you get organized.” Carefully, she took the baby, gently rocking him in her arms. To everyone’s surprise, the baby slowly calmed down, his crying fading into soft breaths.
Mark’s frustration melted away as he saw how Elena cared for the baby. Watching his wife patiently hum, he felt a shift within himself. He unbuckled his seat belt and turned to the mother. “Do you need some warm water?” he offered. The woman nodded gratefully. Soon, other passengers joined in — offering a blanket or snacks. The cabin, once filled with annoyance, now felt warm and connected. Mark smiled at Elena. Sometimes, a little kindness could change everything.
