B
Of course, she wasn't really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us — at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years, my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret.
Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie's visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process, Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this coin," she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” So, I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In people's eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.
4. Why did the author always use the name “My Aunt Fannie" in conversations?
A. She liked Aunt Fannie's recipe. B. She was frightened of Aunt Fannie.
C. She enjoyed her parents ’reactions. D. She greatly respected “Aunt Fannie".
5. The underlined word “she” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. Aunt Fannie B. the author's grandmother
C. the author's mother D. Aunt Fannie' s grandmother
6. In the last paragraph, the author encourages readers to ________.
A. hold onto the first coin in life B. make as many friends as possible
C. make money with their own hands D. spend more time with family and friends
7. What could be the best title for this passage?
A. The Key to Success B. Blueberry Jam Recipe
C. A Fortune Built from a Coin D. A Relationship of Trust
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述芬妮姨妈和她的蓝莓酱配方,向我们说明金钱只可以暂时让人感觉富有,唯有和他人的关系以及和朋友家人们一起度过的那些日子的美好回忆才会让我们变的真正富有。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.可知,我很喜欢用My Aunt Fannie是因为我喜欢父母对我这样说的反应。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文的During those years, my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield.可知,Aunt Fanny的蓝莓酱做的非常好,她正因此而有名。所以本句的she指代的就是Aunt Fanny,故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy.可知,作者认为金钱只是可以暂时让人感觉富有,唯有和他人的关系以及朋友家人们在一起度过的那些日子的美好回忆才会让我们变的真正富有,由此可推断出,作者建议我们多花时间和家人在一起。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。本文通过介绍Aunt Fannie因为她做的蓝莓酱而出名,而她做蓝莓酱的秘诀就在于对人生的感悟。真正让我们幸福的是和他人的关系及和家人朋友一起度过的那些日子的美好回忆,因此,本文的最佳标题应为“蓝莓酱食谱”,故选B。
【点睛】主旨大意题是高考阅读理解常考四大题型之一,近几年来的高考都有考到该题型,透彻了解该题型且掌握其答题技巧十分必要。1.考法说明:考查对象分为三类:标题归纳、文章大意和段落大意。2.突破方法:①仔细审题,看好范围。搞清楚问的是某一段还是全文的中心思想。正确选项的特点是:一般不出现细节信息;不含过于肯定或绝对的词语。②使用略读,迅速将全段或全文浏览一遍。③特别注意全文或所问段落的首句和尾句,因为它们常常是主旨要义的体现。④作者的写作目的有三种:娱乐读者;说服读者接受某种观点;告知读者某些信息。考生应在理解全文的基础上领会作者的意图。⑤标题的选择要在阅读原文的基础上,仔细考虑这句话或短语与文章主体是否有密切关系,概括性如何,避免三个错误:概括不够;过度概括;以事实或细节代替抽象概括的大意。作者在本文中虽然简述了Aunt Fannie做蓝莓酱的事,但是作者主要是想通过蓝莓酱食谱来展示了作者要表达的感悟,因此“蓝莓酱食谱”这个标题最佳。
C
If you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations — You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate (拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day.
Sounds alarming? As it turns out, if you’re feeling stressed, you may be more likely to procrastinate. Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of. Our limbic brain (边缘大脑), the emotional part of our brain, is screaming, “Let’s do anything but that stressful thing!” while our prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) is the CEO of our brain, setting the goals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay on track. CEO vs. Drama Queen Brain — who will win? Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.
Then there’s the burst of energy we often get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads to a reward pathway within our brains and sets the foundation for procrastination as a habit. When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”
So, how to beat procrastination? Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task. Ever heard of the Promodoro Technique? It’s about working for 25 minutes and resting for 5. During those breaks, forget about brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga instead. Another trick is to “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day, as was once said by Mark Twain.
8. Why are the two surveys mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To warn the readers. B. To introduce a concept.
C. To present a phenomenon. D. To make a comparison.
9. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?
A. We are born to prefer what we like and avoid what we fear.
B. The limbic brain is under the control of the prefrontal cortex.
C. We are more likely to burst when getting close to the deadline.
D. Failing to complete a task can lead to habitual procrastination.
10. What does the author suggest readers do to stop procrastination?
A. Force the brain to focus. B. Take a break regularly.
C. Solve a tricky math problem. D. Eat something refreshing first.
11. What is the tone of this text?
A. Humorous. B. Ironic. C. Serious. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要解释了拖延症的心理学机制和克服拖延症的方法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations—You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate (拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day.(如果你发现自己在最后一分钟才完成任务,那么恭喜你——你并不孤单!根据一项调查,20%的美国成年人在家里、工作中、人际关系中等等都有拖延症。另一项调查发现,88%的人每天至少拖延一个小时)”可知,本段提到这两个调查是为了呈现一种拖延现象。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of.(从本质上讲,我们的大脑结构倾向于处理我们觉得有趣的任务,避开我们害怕的任务)”可知,作者会同意我们生来就喜欢我们喜欢的东西,避免我们害怕的东西。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, how to beat procrastination? Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task.(那么,如何战胜拖延症呢?你需要重新训练你的大脑来应对压力。其中一个诀窍是定期休息(奖励),让你的注意力重新集中到任务上)”可知,作者建议读者定期休息来停止拖延症。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“CEO vs. Drama Queen Brain — who will win? Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.(首席执行官vs戏剧女王大脑——谁会赢?事实上,当我们的边缘大脑覆盖前额叶皮层的信息时,确实存在这种可能性)”,倒数第二段“When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”(当你冲向终点并最终达到目标时,你之前的压力消失了,你几乎进入了“看,我在压力下工作得更好!”的模式)”以及最后一段“Another trick is to “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day, as was once said by Mark Twain.(另一个诀窍是“吃掉青蛙”,正如马克·吐温曾经说过的那样,早上要做的第一件事,或者处理一天中最困难和最有压力的任务)”可知,作者用比喻的手法,幽默的语言来说明拖延症,所以本文的基调是幽默的。故选A项。
D
According to legend, the first-ever marathon was so exhausting that the Greek messenger, who dashed 40km from the battlefield to Athens, collapsed and died. Over the past 2,500 years, humans have become better at running. Eight of the ten fastest times in female marathon have been recorded since 2022. This can to a large extent be explained by the development of a new generation of hyper-bouncy running shoes — “super-shoes” — that offer athletes greater assistance. Such has been the improvement that some have questioned whether the technology is now too dominant.
No doubt that athletes are breaking records because of their footwear. Both Nike and Adidas have persuaded World Athletics to permit shoes with chunky, foam soles (鞋底), which act as springs. When their feet compress the super-shoes into the ground, the runners receive more energy as they push off again. In 2017 Nike announced the new technology allowed athletes to use 4% less energy than they would if wearing a regular shoe.
Those who would like the shoes banned worry that the balance between the runners’ ability and footwear has become twisted. Plainly, though, this is a long way from shoes that matter more than runners. A club runner may set a personal best in a pair of Nike Alphaflys, but she is not going to outrun Ms. Assefa(world champion) wearing regular shoes. World Athletics insists such super-shoes should be available to all athletes in order to be legal, so there is no risk of results being determined by a lack of access to the best equipment.
Part of the appeal of sports is that they show humans on an upward trajectory (轨迹), becoming stronger, faster and fitter. Technology has always contributed to this. But as the sports industry has more investment, the motivations to find an edge in performance have grown, whether in kit, diet or game strategy. Surely, advances have to be controlled. But banning super-shoes would be opposing progress and difficult to enforce. This is a genie (精灵) that cannot be returned to its shoebox.
12. What has improved female marathon records since 2022?
A. The changes of rules. B. The advance in sports kit.
C. The assistance of coaches. D. The development of humans.
13. What is centered on about super-shoes in paragraph 2?
A. The principle. B. The history. C. The challenge. D. The drawback.
14. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Ms. Assefa runs slowly in regular shoes. B. Using super-shoes is regarded as dishonest.
C. Nike Alphaflys better athletes’ performance. D. Access to super shoes determines athletes’ success.
15. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Athletics should not embrace super-shoes.
B. There is nothing to fear about technological advances.
C. Not all investments have led to advances in technology.
D. It is impossible for sports industry to control super-shoes.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,文章由“超级鞋”引出了科技产品的开发和进步促成了体育比赛记录的进步这一现象并对其进行了探讨。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Eight of the ten fastest times in female marathon have been recorded since 2022. This can to a large extent be explained by the development of a new generation of hyper-bouncy running shoes— “super-shoes”—that offer athletes greater assistance.(女子马拉松比赛的10个最快成绩中,有8个是在2022年之后创造的。这在很大程度上可以解释为新一代超弹性跑鞋的发展——“超级鞋”——为运动员提供更大的帮助)”可知,运动装备的进步帮助提高了女性马拉松记录。故选B项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“No doubt that athletes are breaking records because of their footwear. Both Nike and Adidas have persuaded World Athletics to permit shoes with chunky, foam soles(鞋底), which act as springs. When their feet compress the super-shoes into the ground, the runners receive more energy as they push off again.(毫无疑问,运动员打破纪录是因为他们的鞋子。耐克和阿迪达斯都已经说服世界田联允许使用厚实的泡沫鞋底,这种鞋底可以起到弹簧的作用。当他们的脚将超级跑鞋压入地面时,跑步者在再次起跑时获得更多的能量)”可知,第二段描述了“超级鞋”的运用原理。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A club runner may set a personal best in a pair of Nike Alphaflys, but she is not going to outrun Ms. Assefa(world champion) wearing regular shoes.(一个俱乐部跑步者可能会穿着一双耐克Alphaflys创造个人最好成绩,但她不可能穿普通鞋跑过阿塞法(世界冠军))”可推知,作者认为穿着耐克Alphaflys鞋子可以改善运动员的表现。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Part of the appeal of sports is that they show humans on an upward trajectory, becoming stronger, faster and fitter. Technology has always contributed to this. But as the sports industry has more investment, the motivations to find an edge in performance have grown, whether in kit, diet or game strategy. Surely, advances have to be controlled. But banning super-shoes would be opposing progress and difficult to enforce.(体育运动的部分吸引力在于,它们展示了人类在上升的轨迹上,变得更强、更快、更健康。技术一直是促成这一点的因素。但随着体育产业投资的增加,无论是在装备、饮食还是比赛策略方面,寻求表现优势的动机也在增长。当然,进步必须得到控制。但禁止超级鞋将会阻碍进步,而且很难执行)”可知,技术进步促成比赛成绩进步这是正常的,进步虽然要在一定程度上进行控制,但是禁止技术超级鞋是不容易实现的。我们不应该太多担心技术进步。故选B项。

【答案】Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m Li Hua, excited to contribute to the English motivational slogan collection for senior students. My suggested slogan is: “Rise with perseverance. Reach for the Stars.”
The slogan highlights two key elements. First and foremost, “perseverance” emphasizes the importance of persistence through challenges, which aligns with the demanding senior journey. Besides, “reach for the stars” encourages ambitious goals while maintaining a hopeful tone. “Rise” and “Reach” create a rhythmic flow, making it easy to remember. Additionally, the metaphor of “stars” symbolizes limitless potential, inspiring students to strive beyond their comfort zones.
I believe this slogan balances practicality and motivation, perfectly capturing the spirit of senior students. I’d appreciate it if you could consider my idea.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏团). Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight in shining armor.”
He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right.” The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?”
The ticket lady again told him the price. The man didn’t have enough money. How could he turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.

Paragraph 1: Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped (扔) it on the ground.

Paragraph 2: That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he bent down, picked it up, and tapped the man on the shoulder, saying, “Sir, you dropped this.” The father turned around, confused at first, but when he saw the bill, his eyes filled with gratitude. He thanked my dad repeatedly, then hurried to pay for the tickets with the extra money. The children cheered softly when they saw the tickets, and the mother looked at my dad with tears of appreciation.
That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets. I felt a little upset at first, but my dad patted my shoulder and said, “Helping others when they’re in trouble is more valuable than watching a circus.” I suddenly realized what true kindness was — It’s not about showing off, but about protecting others’ dignity while giving a hand. That experience has stayed with me ever since, teaching me to always be ready to help those in need.

B
Of course, she wasn't really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us — at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years, my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret.
Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie's visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process, Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this coin," she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” So, I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In people's eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.
4. Why did the author always use the name “My Aunt Fannie" in conversations?
A. She liked Aunt Fannie's recipe. B. She was frightened of Aunt Fannie.
C. She enjoyed her parents ’reactions. D. She greatly respected “Aunt Fannie".

A. hold onto the first coin in life B. make as many friends as possible
C. make money with their own hands D. spend more time with family and friends

A. The Key to Success B. Blueberry Jam Recipe
C. A Fortune Built from a Coin D. A Relationship of Trust

If you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations — You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate (拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day.
Sounds alarming? As it turns out, if you’re feeling stressed, you may be more likely to procrastinate. Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of. Our limbic brain (边缘大脑), the emotional part of our brain, is screaming, “Let’s do anything but that stressful thing!” while our prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) is the CEO of our brain, setting the goals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay on track. CEO vs. Drama Queen Brain — who will win? Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.
Then there’s the burst of energy we often get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads to a reward pathway within our brains and sets the foundation for procrastination as a habit. When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”
So, how to beat procrastination? Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task. Ever heard of the Promodoro Technique? It’s about working for 25 minutes and resting for 5. During those breaks, forget about brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga instead. Another trick is to “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day, as was once said by Mark Twain.
8. Why are the two surveys mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To warn the readers. B. To introduce a concept.
C. To present a phenomenon. D. To make a comparison.
9. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?
A. We are born to prefer what we like and avoid what we fear.
B. The limbic brain is under the control of the prefrontal cortex.
C. We are more likely to burst when getting close to the deadline.
D. Failing to complete a task can lead to habitual procrastination.
10. What does the author suggest readers do to stop procrastination?
A. Force the brain to focus. B. Take a break regularly.
C. Solve a tricky math problem. D. Eat something refreshing first.
11. What is the tone of this text?
A. Humorous. B. Ironic. C. Serious. D. Unclear.
D
According to legend, the first-ever marathon was so exhausting that the Greek messenger, who dashed 40km from the battlefield to Athens, collapsed and died. Over the past 2,500 years, humans have become better at running. Eight of the ten fastest times in female marathon have been recorded since 2022. This can to a large extent be explained by the development of a new generation of hyper-bouncy running shoes — “super-shoes” — that offer athletes greater assistance. Such has been the improvement that some have questioned whether the technology is now too dominant.
No doubt that athletes are breaking records because of their footwear. Both Nike and Adidas have persuaded World Athletics to permit shoes with chunky, foam soles (鞋底), which act as springs. When their feet compress the super-shoes into the ground, the runners receive more energy as they push off again. In 2017 Nike announced the new technology allowed athletes to use 4% less energy than they would if wearing a regular shoe.
Those who would like the shoes banned worry that the balance between the runners’ ability and footwear has become twisted. Plainly, though, this is a long way from shoes that matter more than runners. A club runner may set a personal best in a pair of Nike Alphaflys, but she is not going to outrun Ms. Assefa(world champion) wearing regular shoes. World Athletics insists such super-shoes should be available to all athletes in order to be legal, so there is no risk of results being determined by a lack of access to the best equipment.
Part of the appeal of sports is that they show humans on an upward trajectory (轨迹), becoming stronger, faster and fitter. Technology has always contributed to this. But as the sports industry has more investment, the motivations to find an edge in performance have grown, whether in kit, diet or game strategy. Surely, advances have to be controlled. But banning super-shoes would be opposing progress and difficult to enforce. This is a genie (精灵) that cannot be returned to its shoebox.
12. What has improved female marathon records since 2022?
A. The changes of rules. B. The advance in sports kit.
C. The assistance of coaches. D. The development of humans.
13. What is centered on about super-shoes in paragraph 2?
A. The principle. B. The history. C. The challenge. D. The drawback.
14. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Ms. Assefa runs slowly in regular shoes. B. Using super-shoes is regarded as dishonest.
C. Nike Alphaflys better athletes’ performance. D. Access to super shoes determines athletes’ success.
15. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Athletics should not embrace super-shoes.
B. There is nothing to fear about technological advances.
C. Not all investments have led to advances in technology.
D. It is impossible for sports industry to control super-shoes.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏团). Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight in shining armor.”
He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right.” The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?”
The ticket lady again told him the price. The man didn’t have enough money. How could he turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
