I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.”
In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not appreciate politeness; they lack consciousness, feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) standpoint, all those pleases and thank yous are just flushing money down the toilet.
Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health.
What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Experiments at UC Riverside found that performing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced steady increases in happiness. This idea isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit.
So perhaps all of our pleases and thank yous to AI have value, even if they cost OpenAI millions of dollars annually. Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of courtesy (礼貌), patience and empathy. In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves.
4. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By telling a story.
C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By defining a concept.
5. What value of gratitude does the experiment in paragraph 3 show?
A. It strengthens our bodies and minds. B. It reduces daily stress levels.
C. It improves memory and creativity. D. It deepens social relationships.
6. Which of the following would Maimonides most likely approve of?
A. Giving gifts to friends on birthdays. B. Making a large donation to a charity.
C. Expressing gratitude on Thanksgiving Day. D. Volunteering weekly at a community kitchen.
7. What message does the author mainly convey in the text?
A. Courtesy to AI saves electricity bills. B. AI improves the quality of human life.
C. Politeness benefits humans rather than AI. D. AI learns empathy from human behavior.
C
Moving to a new city can be an anxious experience. It’s often difficult to develop a sense of connection when you’re unfamiliar with a place’s traditions and history. Now that I’m a new resident of Pittsburg, one way I’ve found to engage with my new environment is through the art murals (壁画) found around town.
Whenever I take a walk around the Old Town area, I stop to admire the mural at Heritage Park Plaza (HPP). As a newcomer, I find myself identifying with one section of the mural in particular. It shows a newly arrived family with their belongings, transitioning (过渡) into a photograph of a wedding. To me, this symbolizes establishing general roots — something I hope to do here in Pittsburg as well.
Another mural I enjoy is located on the side of the Ace Hardware building on Railroad Avenue. This colorful piece honors the indigenous heritage (土著遗产) of the Pittsburg area, specifically the Bay Miwok people who lived here long before European settlers arrived. The mural acknowledges the lives of these indigenous groups, whose cultures were reshaped by newcomers. Today, these cultures coexist, a reality the mural beautifully illustrates.
Lastly, there’s an amazing mural on the history of the Latino identity, located on the back of the Cardenas Markets near the highway entrance. The mural records the pre-history, transformation, and ongoing cultural presence of the Latino community in Pittsburg. As someone who shares in that heritage, I find it deeply meaningful to see it proudly displayed as visitors enter the town. It’s a visual welcome that makes me feel connected to the city and its values.
These murals have become my way of bonding with Pittsburg, offering me a sense of belonging and helping me appreciate the town’s rich history. They serve as both reminders of the past and invitations to become a part of the ongoing story of this community. I encourage everyone to walk through their city, or any new town, and explore public art to better understand the community’s identity.
8. What does the mural at HPP inspire the author to do?
A. Learn about Pittsburg’s historical events.
B. Take photographs of particular art murals.
C. Build lasting family bonds in Pittsburg.
D. Protect the traditions of older residents.
9. What does the Ace Hardware mural illustrate?
A. The integration of different cultures.
B. The cruelty of European settlement.
C. The restoration of indigenous customs.
D. The history of the Ace Hardware building.
10. What aspect of the author does paragraph 4 reveal?
A. Her original Latino background.
B. Her talent for appreciating murals.
C. Her contribution to the local community.
D. Her role as a tour guide for Latino visitors.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Travel Journal of Pittsburg’s Murals
B. Pittsburg’s Traditions Preserved in Art
C. Exploring the Artistic Side of Pittsburg
D. Engaging with Pittsburg Through Public Art
D
Soon after Mr. & Mrs. Bacchus started farming their little patch of land, they faced a major problem — a plague of birds fed on their precious crops. Then, a man stopped on the road outside their house, and asked the couple if he could take photographs of the birds on the property. Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born.
Today, the couple credit this man, the celebrated bird photographer Manu Espinosa, with changing their lives, and helping them persuade others of the vital importance of conservation in this region.
Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK.
As the business of birding grows, more and more farmers are switching their land from agriculture to bird reserves, benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too. One notable example is the Ajila family, who have devoted themselves to preserving the long-wattled umbrellabird. On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming.
“Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation,” says Luis Jr., Ajila’s son. “We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations.”
Since 2005, Angel Paz has transformed his former dairy farm into a bird reserve. At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says.
12. What advice did the photographer give to the couple?
A. Photographing the birds. B. Coexisting with the birds.
C. Protecting their precious crops. D. Taking care of their property.
13. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. How Ecuador is geographically unique.
B. What distinguishes Ecuador’s biodiversity.
C. What makes Ecuador a birding destination.
D. How birding tourism is operated in Ecuador.
14. What have the Ajila family achieved?
A. Helping other farmers shake off poverty.
B. Combining profitability with sustainability.
C. Applying new technology in modern farming.
D. Changing the landscapes of their residential areas.
15. What can we learn from Ángel Paz’s story?
A. Well begun is half done.
B. It takes time to bear fruit.
C. The early bird catches the worm.
D. The secret to success is adaptability.
三、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共12.5分。
In the digital age, academic research leans heavily on online resources, yet sifting through the vast data to find credible, relevant info can be tough. Here are some balanced guides.
Define your research question clearly. A focused, specific question — say, narrowing “technology and education” to “mobile apps and high school math scores” — keeps you from wandering into irrelevance. ____16____ This clarity saves time on materials that don’t serve your thesis.
Pick the right tools. General engines like Google work for basics, but academic databases (Google Scholar, JSTOR) are better for scholarly work. ____17____ Unlike general sites, which mix in blogs and non-academic content, these databases prioritize peer-reviewed, expert-vetted papers — critical for building strong arguments.
Use precise keywords. Broad terms flood results; break your question into specific concepts. ____18____ For “social media’s impact on teens’ mental health,” combine “social media,” “mental health,” and “adolescents” with “AND” to narrow things down.
Evaluate sources carefully. Check authors’ expertise (are they field experts?) and publication dates — ____19____ In fast-moving fields like tech or medicine, older sources might miss recent findings. Also, follow citations (引用) in sources to find related studies.
Take organized notes as you gather info. ____20____ Jot down key points and source details (authors, dates, titles) to make referencing easier later. Tools like Goodnotes help keep notes neat.
Cross-verify critical info across sources. A key fact or argument needs support from several reputable works to strengthen your paper’s validity (有效性) and show thorough research.
A. Using same-meaning or related terms can also expand your search results.
B. Avoid relying on one source for important information.
C. Take time to understand the boundary of your research before diving in.
D. They are designed to separate out non-academic content and prioritize quality.
E. Make sure to record not just the information but also the source details.
F. Narrowing down your focus early on will save you a lot of time later.
G. Older sources may not reflect the latest developments in your field.
四、完形填空:本大题共15小题,共15分。
I scan the water in Australia’s Kakadu National Park, in search of an ancient ___21___: a saltwater crocodile (鳄鱼). No ripples (涟漪), no sound. But I know it’s there. ___22___, just beneath the surface. It could even be ___23___ me right now.
Crocodiles are among the world’s most effective hunters. Their eyes and nostrils are positioned high on their heads, while their whole ___24___ is just beneath the water surface. With explosive tail power and the ability to stay underwater for hours, their ___25___ has remained unchanged for 95 million years. ___26___: these animals are built for the kill.
As I continue to scan the water, I see ___27___: a soft ripple. Then, just a few metres away, two eyes break the surface as a huge head rises ever so slightly out of the water. The silent beast ___28___ me. I feel my heart racing. I take a few steps to the left; the crocodile silently follows. Then a few to the right; and again, it ___29___ me. I’m a dot on its radar. A possibility. A chance. I can’t help but feel awe for this ancient hunter as it remains motionless, waiting for me to make a ____30____, to take one step too many. It has almost endless ____31____.
In a world of constant change, where we’re always seeking innovation and ____32____, it’s easy to forget that some things are ____33____ just the way they are. When the foundation is strong, there’s no need to ____34____ much at all. Just look at crocodiles (but not too ____35____, please).
21. A. killer B. enemy C. friend D. victim
22. A. Confident B. Carefree C. Invisible D. Hesitant
23. A. leaving B. ignoring C. watching D. attacking

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。
One year, while I was living in south Texas, I received a box in the mail from my son. The package was about 12×12×12 inches but felt very light. I couldn’t imagine what was in it.
The post office had marked it fragile (易碎的), so I was careful as I removed the tape and slid the lid (盖子) off. The gift was wrapped in soft white tissue paper with a tiny piece of tape holding it together.
I carefully eased the tapc away from the paper and opened it. An earthy sweetness filled my nose as my eyes met the surprise of many different kinds of autumn leaves of every shape,color, and size in the box. My son had sent the package through priority mail, so the leaves would still have their bright colors. A note read. “Mom, I’m sending a little Fall to you. Enjoy.”
The sight and smell were just as satisfying as if I had tasted something I had been longing for. It brought tears to my eyes that my son understood my need for a feeling of the autumn season.
My son now lives in southern Georgia. One day I was telling my two granddaughters about their dad sending me fall leaves each year. They said, “Nana, we don’t get a lot of colorful fall leaves here like you do in Virginia. Will you send us some of yours?”
So I decided that it was my turn to please them with a box of fall leaves.
I used a box for each of them as I collected leaves from all kinds of trees; any trees with big or small colorful leaves that fell to the ground.
When I brought them home, I used wax paper (蜡纸) to preserve them. First, I laid the leaves on a piece of wax paper and then laid a piece of wax paper on top. Then I pressed them with a hot iron. When it cooled, I removed the wax paper that had coated the beautiful leaves.
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。
I placed the dried leaves in two boxes, adding something special to each one.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Two days later, my granddaughters called to tell me what they had done with their leaves.

I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.”
In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not appreciate politeness; they lack consciousness, feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) standpoint, all those pleases and thank yous are just flushing money down the toilet.
Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health.
What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Experiments at UC Riverside found that performing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced steady increases in happiness. This idea isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit.
So perhaps all of our pleases and thank yous to AI have value, even if they cost OpenAI millions of dollars annually. Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of courtesy (礼貌), patience and empathy. In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves.
4. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By telling a story.
C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By defining a concept.
5. What value of gratitude does the experiment in paragraph 3 show?
A. It strengthens our bodies and minds. B. It reduces daily stress levels.
C. It improves memory and creativity. D. It deepens social relationships.
6. Which of the following would Maimonides most likely approve of?
A. Giving gifts to friends on birthdays. B. Making a large donation to a charity.
C. Expressing gratitude on Thanksgiving Day. D. Volunteering weekly at a community kitchen.
7. What message does the author mainly convey in the text?
A. Courtesy to AI saves electricity bills. B. AI improves the quality of human life.
C. Politeness benefits humans rather than AI. D. AI learns empathy from human behavior.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第一段“I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.”(我常常会发现自己在向人工智能聊天机器人提问时会加上“请”和“谢谢”这样的词语。显然,我不是唯一一个这样做的。2024年的一项调查发现,大约67%的美国人工智能用户也会对人工智能搜索引擎表现出礼貌和感激之情。有些人甚至开玩笑说这要花费不少钱:如果每一个礼貌的词语都要消耗电能,那账单肯定很高。OpenAI的首席执行官萨姆·阿尔特曼回应道:“这花费了数千万美元——谁知道呢。”)”并结合下文对“对AI礼貌能培养人的礼貌、同理心等品质”的陈述可知,作者在第一段通过描述一个现象引入话题。故选C。

After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health.( 不过,对人工智能表示感激所体现的价值可能并非是能够立即衡量出来的。心理学家罗伯特·埃蒙斯和迈克尔·麦卡洛开展了一项实验,他们将参与者分为三组,要求第一组列出他们所感激的事情,而其他两组则分别记录日常烦恼或只是进行日常日记记录。10周后,他们发现第一组的幸福感水平提高了25%,内心力量更强,身体状况也更好)”可知,第三段中的实验表明了感恩能增强我们的身体和心智。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit.(他认为,定期的善举,比如进行慈善捐赠和表达感激之情,会通过将美德转化为习惯而使我们长期感到更幸福)”可知,迈蒙尼德认同每周到社区厨房做志愿服务的做法。故选D。

Moving to a new city can be an anxious experience. It’s often difficult to develop a sense of connection when you’re unfamiliar with a place’s traditions and history. Now that I’m a new resident of Pittsburg, one way I’ve found to engage with my new environment is through the art murals (壁画) found around town.
Whenever I take a walk around the Old Town area, I stop to admire the mural at Heritage Park Plaza (HPP). As a newcomer, I find myself identifying with one section of the mural in particular. It shows a newly arrived family with their belongings, transitioning (过渡) into a photograph of a wedding. To me, this symbolizes establishing general roots — something I hope to do here in Pittsburg as well.
Another mural I enjoy is located on the side of the Ace Hardware building on Railroad Avenue. This colorful piece honors the indigenous heritage (土著遗产) of the Pittsburg area, specifically the Bay Miwok people who lived here long before European settlers arrived. The mural acknowledges the lives of these indigenous groups, whose cultures were reshaped by newcomers. Today, these cultures coexist, a reality the mural beautifully illustrates.
Lastly, there’s an amazing mural on the history of the Latino identity, located on the back of the Cardenas Markets near the highway entrance. The mural records the pre-history, transformation, and ongoing cultural presence of the Latino community in Pittsburg. As someone who shares in that heritage, I find it deeply meaningful to see it proudly displayed as visitors enter the town. It’s a visual welcome that makes me feel connected to the city and its values.
These murals have become my way of bonding with Pittsburg, offering me a sense of belonging and helping me appreciate the town’s rich history. They serve as both reminders of the past and invitations to become a part of the ongoing story of this community. I encourage everyone to walk through their city, or any new town, and explore public art to better understand the community’s identity.
8. What does the mural at HPP inspire the author to do?
A. Learn about Pittsburg’s historical events.
B. Take photographs of particular art murals.

Soon after Mr. & Mrs. Bacchus started farming their little patch of land, they faced a major problem — a plague of birds fed on their precious crops. Then, a man stopped on the road outside their house, and asked the couple if he could take photographs of the birds on the property. Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born.
Today, the couple credit this man, the celebrated bird photographer Manu Espinosa, with changing their lives, and helping them persuade others of the vital importance of conservation in this region.
Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK.
As the business of birding grows, more and more farmers are switching their land from agriculture to bird reserves, benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too. One notable example is the Ajila family, who have devoted themselves to preserving the long-wattled umbrellabird. On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming.
“Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation,” says Luis Jr., Ajila’s son. “We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations.”
Since 2005, Angel Paz has transformed his former dairy farm into a bird reserve. At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says.
12. What advice did the photographer give to the couple?
A. Photographing the birds. B. Coexisting with the birds.
C. Protecting their precious crops. D. Taking care of their property.
13. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. How Ecuador is geographically unique.
B. What distinguishes Ecuador’s biodiversity.
C. What makes Ecuador a birding destination.
D. How birding tourism is operated in Ecuador.
14. What have the Ajila family achieved?
A. Helping other farmers shake off poverty.
B. Combining profitability with sustainability.
C. Applying new technology in modern farming.
D. Changing the landscapes of their residential areas.
15. What can we learn from Ángel Paz’s story?
A. Well begun is half done.
B. It takes time to bear fruit.
C. The early bird catches the worm.
D. The secret to success is adaptability.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. B

【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中“Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. (后来,他(摄影师)建议,与其试图赶走这些鸟,不如学会和它们一起生活,于是马拉克萨查保护区就诞生了)”可知,摄影师建议这对夫妇与鸟类共存。故选B项。

(我们的目标不仅是保护雨伞鸟,还要保护这里所有独特的野生动物,为子孙后代保护它们)”可知,Ajila家族将农场转为保护区,既保护伞鸟(长须伞鸟)又通过生态旅游获利,Ajila的儿子明确提到“旅游比农业更盈利,但保护动机同样重要”,体现经济与生态可持续性的结合。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中“At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour.

(起初,事情并没有按计划进行:第一位游客花了一个月的时间才到达,他只花了10美元就完成了四个小时的旅行。然而,从那以后,成千上万的人进行了朝圣。Angel Paz说:“近二十年来,我一直在保护我的家和它的鸟类,终于看到了野生动物和游客的蓬勃发展。”)”可知,Angel Paz的保护区初期游客稀少且收入微薄,但经过长期坚持(近20年),最终游客增多,生态与旅游业共同繁荣,B项“需要时间才能见效”准确反映了这一过程,强调耐心与坚持的重要性。故选B项。

In the digital age, academic research leans heavily on online resources, yet sifting through the vast data to find credible, relevant info can be tough. Here are some balanced guides.
Define your research question clearly. A focused, specific question — say, narrowing “technology and education” to “mobile apps and high school math scores” — keeps you from wandering into irrelevance. ____16____ This clarity saves time on materials that don’t serve your thesis.
Pick the right tools. General engines like Google work for basics, but academic databases (Google Scholar, JSTOR) are better for scholarly work. ____17____ Unlike general sites, which mix in blogs and non-academic content, these databases prioritize peer-reviewed, expert-vetted papers — critical for building strong arguments.
Use precise keywords. Broad terms flood results; break your question into specific concepts. ____18____ For “social media’s impact on teens’ mental health,” combine “social media,” “mental health,” and “adolescents” with “AND” to narrow things down.
Evaluate sources carefully. Check authors’ expertise (are they field experts?) and publication dates — ____19____ In fast-moving fields like tech or medicine, older sources might miss recent findings. Also, follow citations (引用) in sources to find related studies.
Take organized notes as you gather info. ____20____ Jot down key points and source details (authors, dates, titles) to make referencing easier later. Tools like Goodnotes help keep notes neat.
Cross-verify critical info across sources. A key fact or argument needs support from several reputable works to strengthen your paper’s validity (有效性) and show thorough research.
A. Using same-meaning or related terms can also expand your search results.
B. Avoid relying on one source for important information.
C. Take time to understand the boundary of your research before diving in.
D. They are designed to separate out non-academic content and prioritize quality.
E. Make sure to record not just the information but also the source details.
F. Narrowing down your focus early on will save you a lot of time later.
G. Older sources may not reflect the latest developments in your field.

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。
One year, while I was living in south Texas, I received a box in the mail from my son. The package was about 12×12×12 inches but felt very light. I couldn’t imagine what was in it.
The post office had marked it fragile (易碎的), so I was careful as I removed the tape and slid the lid (盖子) off. The gift was wrapped in soft white tissue paper with a tiny piece of tape holding it together.
I carefully eased the tapc away from the paper and opened it. An earthy sweetness filled my nose as my eyes met the surprise of many different kinds of autumn leaves of every shape,color, and size in the box. My son had sent the package through priority mail, so the leaves would still have their bright colors. A note read. “Mom, I’m sending a little Fall to you. Enjoy.”
The sight and smell were just as satisfying as if I had tasted something I had been longing for. It brought tears to my eyes that my son understood my need for a feeling of the autumn season.
My son now lives in southern Georgia. One day I was telling my two granddaughters about their dad sending me fall leaves each year. They said, “Nana, we don’t get a lot of colorful fall leaves here like you do in Virginia. Will you send us some of yours?”
So I decided that it was my turn to please them with a box of fall leaves.
I used a box for each of them as I collected leaves from all kinds of trees; any trees with big or small colorful leaves that fell to the ground.
When I brought them home, I used wax paper (蜡纸) to preserve them. First, I laid the leaves on a piece of wax paper and then laid a piece of wax paper on top. Then I pressed them with a hot iron. When it cooled, I removed the wax paper that had coated the beautiful leaves.
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。
I placed the dried leaves in two boxes, adding something special to each one.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Two days later, my granddaughters called to tell me what they had done with their leaves.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I placed the dried leaves in two boxes, adding something special to each one. There were little touches — hand-drawn smiley faces on the lids, small bags of dried flowers for a calming smell, and handwritten notes that said, “May these leaves bring you a piece of Nana’s fall magic.” After sealing the boxes with care, I walked to the post office, imagining my granddaughters’ smiles as they opened them. As I sent them off, a mix of excitement and nervousness filled me and I couldn’t wait to hear how my granddaughters would react.
Two days later, my granddaughters called to tell me what they had done with their leaves. My oldest granddaughter took her leaves outside and spread them around their pine trees, while my youngest carefully placed hers around her room and on the door, so she could feel my closeness. After hanging up, I was reminded of the simple joys and connections that nature brings across generations. I hope that each year when my granddaughters open their fall leaf boxes, they will feel the love and memories placed with each leaf. A small box of leaves can truly bridge the miles and keep us connected through the seasons.
