Renting a car in Aruba
Though buses and taxis are inexpensive to use in Aruba, we recommend renting a car for visitors looking to explore the island.
License & Age
Driving in Aruba is relatively easy for U.S. travelers, as the primary paperwork required is an up-to-date U.S. driver’s license. The minimum age to drive in Aruba is 18 years old, but the minimum age to rent a car is 21 years old. Some suppliers will only rent a car to those over the age of 25. Drivers under the age of 25 should expect an additional fee.
Rules of the Road
Right-Hand Turns: Right-hand turns are always prohibited at red lights (unlike in the U.S.).
Speed Limits: The speed limit in more developed areas is always 30 kph. And it is 60 kph in rural areas and 80 kph on highways.
Cell Phones: Talking on the phone while driving is illegal in Aruba, and can lead to heavy fines and court action. If you want to talk on the phone, you must set your device to hands-free mode.
Overtaking:Many streets in Aruba are one-way streets, so overtaking should be done with extreme care.
Parking in Aruba:Parking is usually free at resorts (旅游胜地). Parking spots on the island are generally fairly easy to come across, though it can be challenging to find in the busy parts of Oranjestad. As a result, parking meters have been introduced. You can buy a “SmartCard” and learn more about rates at Aruparking.com.
1. What is the lowest age for renting a car in Aruba?
A. 18. B. 20. C. 21. D. 25.
2. What is allowed when people drive in Aruba?
A. Turning right at red lights. B. Overtaking on one-way streets.
C. Driving at 80 kph in rural areas. D. Using a hand-held phone briefly.

For most of her life, Natalie Grabow didn’t know how to swim. At 59, she decided to learn so she could face an even bigger challenge: a triathlon (铁人三项). “It was a big barrier I had to overcome,” she says.
Now 80, Grabow has become an inspiration. She not only learned to swim and completed a triathlon but also became the oldest woman to finish the tough Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.
In the race, she swam 2.4 miles in the ocean, then biked 112 miles on a road through lava fields and windy coasts. Finally, she ran a full marathon—26.2 miles—on hilly roads. She finished in 16:45:26, well within the 17-hour cutoff time.
“I’m happy and thankful I can still race at my age,” Grabow says. “Triathlon makes me feel strong in mind and body, and it satisfies my competitive spirit.”
Growing up, girls had few sports chances. During her career as a software engineer, Grabow became a dedicated runner but often suffered setbacks from injuries. The triathlon’s cross-training lowered her injury risk.
Asked whether she has any tips for athletes, Grabow said, “Listen to your body, rest when needed, and most importantly, enjoy the journey.”
4. Why did Natalie Grabow decide to learn swimming at 59?
A. To inspire the young. B. To prepare for a triathlon.
C. To avoid getting hurt. D. To set a world record.
5. What do we know about Natalie?
A. She failed to finish the race within the required time.
B. She believed winning is the most important for athletes.
C. She felt discouraged because she often suffered injuries in training.
D. She finished three parts of the race including swimming, biking and running.
6. Which of the following best describes Natalie?
A. Determined. B. Warm-hearted. C. Creative. D. Generous.
7. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Learning to swim at 59: A Late Start
B. The Hardest Race in the World: Ironman Hawaii
C. 80-year-old Becomes Oldest Woman to Finish Ironman
D. Tips on Avoiding Injuries in Triathlon Training
C
For someone trapped in the debris (废墟) after an earthquake, a rat might be an unwelcome sight. But one scientist has been training rats to act as first responders, equipping them with backpacks and tiny microphones so that they can lead humans to earthquake survivors.
Dr Donna Kean was once interested in big animals, but her attention to rats grew when she saw how quickly rats could learn and how well they could be trained. “Rats have a similar sense of smell to dogs, and they’re just as trainable as dogs,” she said. “They also aren’t tied to just one trainer, which is what you find with dogs. And their size is useful because they are able to get into small spaces that dogs are just unable to get into.”
They carry tiny bags with microphones in them and are being sent to the debris to find and come into contact with survivors. “There can be sounds coming from the bags that may say something like, ‘I am a rescue rat, I’m here to help you,’” Kean said, “which can be very helpful to those who are scared of the rat.”
The rats have yet to face a real-life disaster but they will soon be sent to Turkey to work with the country’s search and rescue teams. At the moment, the rats are learning to make progress. The rats first start their training in a small empty room. And then they move on to increasingly challenging situations until they come close to the debris. That’s where they find the survivors and the chance to talk to them.
The rats are the real focus now. They are so good at moving through all kinds of different environments, which just shows how suitable they are for search and rescue work. The work could save the lives of survivors, as well as rescuers, because it will give rescuers a better idea of where survivors are located before they enter the dangerous places. These little rats are on their way to making a big difference now.
8. What is the advantage of rats over dogs in rescue work?
A. Their small size. B. Their team spirit.
C. Their good sense of smell. D. Their strong strength.
9. What’s the purpose of rats’ carrying a backpack?
A. To control the rats’ behavior in the task.
B. To contact the survivors effectively.
C. To lead the rats to the survivors directly.
D. To provide food and water for the survivors.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The reasons for training rescue rats.
B. The process of training rats for rescue work.
C. The cooperation between rats and rescuers.
D. The good performance of the rats in rescue work.
11. What does the author think of rats’ role in the rescue work?
A. Uncertain. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Disapproving.
D
Because of busy lifestyles and work stress, more Chinese people are now turning to AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot and receive warm advice. This practice, known as “AI therapy”, is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists?
Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren’t enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, a professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or a chatbot, then I think that’s wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s basic needs for emotional support to a point.
However, Al has its limits. Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and create suitable treatment plans — something robots can’t fully copy. Dr. LiuYang, a psychologist, notes, “An AI might recognize keywords like ‘divorce’ or ‘layoff’, but it cannot find out small emotional shifts in tone or body language”. This point becomes important when dealing with a series of situations where misunderstandings could be dangerous.
Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It cannot match the level of responsibility that human therapists have. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK.
Data privacy appears as another large concern. Users usually share personal details on AI platforms, yet few companies clearly state how this information is stored or used. In 2024, a major Chinese mental health app faced censure when users found their chats were being analyzed for advertising algorithms.
As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs.
12. What makes people turn to “AI therapy”?
A. Al therapy is warmer. B. AI tools are free.
C. People feel much pressure. D. DeepSeek is popular.
13. Why does the writer mention the Wysa app?
A. To give an example of safe AI under rules.
B. To prove robots can deal with emergencies.
C. To show AI is cheaper than human doctors.
D. To explain why China needs more therapists.
14. The underlined word “censure” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by _______.
A. praise B. criticism C. approval D. doubt
15. What can we infer from the passage?
A. AI therapy will completely replace human therapists.
B. AI is useful for basic support but not for serious cases.
C. AI can create specialized treatment plans for people.
D. Government control is really unnecessary for AI apps.

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。
Charles Rose lived in the country with his father, who instructed him in reading and writing. Mr. Rose told his son that once his morning lessons were finished, he might amuse himself for one hour as he pleased.
Not far from their home flowed a river, beside which stood a hut of a poor fisherman. The man supported his family by selling fish, while his wife worked tirelessly at her spinning wheel from dawn until dusk. They both worked very hard to make ends meet, yet they were deeply concerned that their only son would never learn to read and write. They could not teach him themselves, and they were too poor to send him to school.
One afternoon, Charles called at the fisherman’s hut to inquire about his missing dog. There he found the little boy, Joe, seated by the table, intently crawling marks with a piece of chalk. Charles asked him whether he was drawing pictures.
“No.” replied Joe, “I am trying to write, but I know only two words. Those I saw upon a sign and I am trying to write them.”
“If I could only learn to read and write,” he continued with a sigh, “I would be the happiest boy in the world.”
“Then I will make you happy,” Charles declared, “I may be young, but I can teach you that. My father allows me one hour each day to do as I wish. If you are willing to learn, you will soon know how to read and write.”
Both Joe and his mother were on the verge of kneeling down to thank Charles. They told him this was what they desired more than anything else.
So, the next day when the hour came, he put his book in his pocket, and went to teach Joe. Joe learned very fast, and Charles soon began to teach him how to write.
Sometime after, a gentleman called on Mr. Rose, and said, “Charles didn’t always amuse himself. I often see him go to the house of the fisherman. I fear he goes out in their boat.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

For most of her life, Natalie Grabow didn’t know how to swim. At 59, she decided to learn so she could face an even bigger challenge: a triathlon (铁人三项). “It was a big barrier I had to overcome,” she says.
Now 80, Grabow has become an inspiration. She not only learned to swim and completed a triathlon but also became the oldest woman to finish the tough Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.
In the race, she swam 2.4 miles in the ocean, then biked 112 miles on a road through lava fields and windy coasts. Finally, she ran a full marathon—26.2 miles—on hilly roads. She finished in 16:45:26, well within the 17-hour cutoff time.
“I’m happy and thankful I can still race at my age,” Grabow says. “Triathlon makes me feel strong in mind and body, and it satisfies my competitive spirit.”
Growing up, girls had few sports chances. During her career as a software engineer, Grabow became a dedicated runner but often suffered setbacks from injuries. The triathlon’s cross-training lowered her injury risk.
Asked whether she has any tips for athletes, Grabow said, “Listen to your body, rest when needed, and most importantly, enjoy the journey.”
4. Why did Natalie Grabow decide to learn swimming at 59?
A. To inspire the young. B. To prepare for a triathlon.

For someone trapped in the debris (废墟) after an earthquake, a rat might be an unwelcome sight. But one scientist has been training rats to act as first responders, equipping them with backpacks and tiny microphones so that they can lead humans to earthquake survivors.
Dr Donna Kean was once interested in big animals, but her attention to rats grew when she saw how quickly rats could learn and how well they could be trained. “Rats have a similar sense of smell to dogs, and they’re just as trainable as dogs,” she said. “They also aren’t tied to just one trainer, which is what you find with dogs. And their size is useful because they are able to get into small spaces that dogs are just unable to get into.”
They carry tiny bags with microphones in them and are being sent to the debris to find and come into contact with survivors. “There can be sounds coming from the bags that may say something like, ‘I am a rescue rat, I’m here to help you,’” Kean said, “which can be very helpful to those who are scared of the rat.”
The rats have yet to face a real-life disaster but they will soon be sent to Turkey to work with the country’s search and rescue teams. At the moment, the rats are learning to make progress. The rats first start their training in a small empty room. And then they move on to increasingly challenging situations until they come close to the debris. That’s where they find the survivors and the chance to talk to them.
The rats are the real focus now. They are so good at moving through all kinds of different environments, which just shows how suitable they are for search and rescue work. The work could save the lives of survivors, as well as rescuers, because it will give rescuers a better idea of where survivors are located before they enter the dangerous places. These little rats are on their way to making a big difference now.
8. What is the advantage of rats over dogs in rescue work?
A. Their small size. B. Their team spirit.
C. Their good sense of smell. D. Their strong strength.
9. What’s the purpose of rats’ carrying a backpack?
A. To control the rats’ behavior in the task.
B. To contact the survivors effectively.
C. To lead the rats to the survivors directly.
D. To provide food and water for the survivors.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The reasons for training rescue rats.
B. The process of training rats for rescue work.
C. The cooperation between rats and rescuers.
D. The good performance of the rats in rescue work.
11. What does the author think of rats’ role in the rescue work?
A. Uncertain. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Disapproving.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】

【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The rats have yet to face a real-life disaster but they will soon be sent to Turkey to work with the country’s search and rescue teams. At the moment, the rats are learning to make progress. The rats first start their training in a small empty room. And then they move on to increasingly challenging situations until they come close to the debris.(这些老鼠尚未经历真实的灾害救援,但很快将被派往土耳其配合当地搜救队工作。目前,老鼠们正在学习进步。老鼠们先在空旷的小房间开展训练,之后它们继续应对越来越具有挑战性的情况,直到接近废墟场景)”可知,本段主要讲述救援老鼠的训练过程。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The work could save the lives of survivors, as well as rescuers, because it will give rescuers a better idea of where survivors are located before they enter the dangerous places. These little rats are on their way to making a big difference now.(这项工作能够挽救幸存者和救援人员的生命,因为它能让救援人员在进入危险区域前明确幸存者的位置。这些小老鼠即将发挥巨大的作用)”可知,作者对老鼠的救援作用持积极、肯定的态度。

Because of busy lifestyles and work stress, more Chinese people are now turning to AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot and receive warm advice. This practice, known as “AI therapy”, is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists?
Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren’t enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, a professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or a chatbot, then I think that’s wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s basic needs for emotional support to a point.
However, Al has its limits. Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and create suitable treatment plans — something robots can’t fully copy. Dr. LiuYang, a psychologist, notes, “An AI might recognize keywords like ‘divorce’ or ‘layoff’, but it cannot find out small emotional shifts in tone or body language”. This point becomes important when dealing with a series of situations where misunderstandings could be dangerous.
Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It cannot match the level of responsibility that human therapists have. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK.
Data privacy appears as another large concern. Users usually share personal details on AI platforms, yet few companies clearly state how this information is stored or used. In 2024, a major Chinese mental health app faced censure when users found their chats were being analyzed for advertising algorithms.
As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs.
12. What makes people turn to “AI therapy”?
A. Al therapy is warmer. B. AI tools are free.
C. People feel much pressure. D. DeepSeek is popular.
13. Why does the writer mention the Wysa app?
A. To give an example of safe AI under rules.
B. To prove robots can deal with emergencies.
C. To show AI is cheaper than human doctors.
D. To explain why China needs more therapists.
14. The underlined word “censure” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by _______.
A. praise B. criticism C. approval D. doubt
15. What can we infer from the passage?
A. AI therapy will completely replace human therapists.
B. AI is useful for basic support but not for serious cases.
C. AI can create specialized treatment plans for people.
D. Government control is really unnecessary for AI apps.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍当下流行的人工智能心理疏导,阐述人工智能心理疏导能弥补心理咨询资源短缺的缺口,同时指出其在情感感知、专业责任、数据隐私等方面存在局限,并提出要平衡其利弊,重度情绪问题仍离不开真人心理咨询师。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Because of busy lifestyles and work stress, more Chinese people are now turning to AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems.(由于生活繁忙、工作压力大,如今越来越多中国人开始使用深度求索这类人工智能工具倾诉烦恼)”可知,巨大的压力促使人们选择人工智能心理疏导。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK.(专家认为安全开展人工智能心理疏导的关键是严格的政府监管。例如,心理健康人工智能应用Wysa在英国遵守严苛的医疗规范)”可知,作者列举Wysa软件是举例说明受规范约束的安全人工智能心理工具。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第五段“In 2024, a major Chinese mental health app faced censure when users found their chats were being analyzed for advertising algorithms.(2024 年,国内一款主流心理健康应用遭到censure,用户发现自己的聊天记录会被用于广告算法分析)”可知,用户隐私被滥用,软件因此受到批评,censure含义等同于criticism,表示“批评”。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s basic needs for emotional support to a point.(江苏省医院医生Li Yong认同Lowd的观点,他表示人工智能在一定程度上能满足人们基础的情感慰藉需求)”以及原文最后一段“While AI offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs.(尽管人工智能可以快速提供帮助,但面对严重的心理情绪需求,人与人之间的沟通无可替代)”可知,人工智能适用于基础情感安抚,无法应对严重心理问题。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We firmly believe in the incredible power of plants to improve our moods, relax our minds, and even purify the air we breathe. ____16____. However, you need to know what to look for when you’re ready to buy some plants.
____17____.
Plant labels cannot reveal every detail of plant care, but they serve as a helpful guide. The labels offer information on the light requirements and maintenance needs of the plants. They might also tell you whether a plant is easy to care for. These details help you select plants ideally suited to your home.
Assess the plant.
You might often find a plant you want at a plant shop and not notice anything wrong until you bring it home. That’s why it’s important to inspect the plant carefully. ____18____. Plants that are already looking unhealthy will have less chance of survival when you bring them home.
Check the soil.
Most plants at a plant shop will be in a pot that they can stay in for some time and don’t need to be repotted. Yet it remains important to assess the plant at the soil level. If there are lots of visible roots or it looks root-bound, the plant may need repotting. ____19____. It’s just something to keep in mind so that you can arrange a new pot and soil for it.
Inspect for pests (害虫).
____20____. Therefore, it is necessary to check for any damage such as leaf discolouration or holes. Also, see if you can see anything small and moving on the plant, or any traces of pests such as tiny webs.
A. Compare the plants.
B. Read plant labels.
C. Plants can be easily affected by pests.
D. This shouldn’t scare you off getting the plant.
E. This means they are more sensitive to changes.
F. That’s why they are an ideal choice for home decoration.
G. Look for signs of health, and stay away from sad-looking plants.
【答案】16. F 17. B 18. G 19. D 20. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍挑选室内绿植的几条实用方法,包括查看植物标签、检查植株状态、查看盆土以及排查虫害。
【16题详解】
根据前文“We firmly believe in the incredible power of plants to improve our moods, relax our minds, and even purify the air we breathe.(我们坚信植物拥有改善情绪、放松身心甚至净化空气的神奇功效。)”可知前文在讲述植物的诸多好处;空后一句“However, you need to know what to look for when you’ re ready to buy some plants.(不过,当你准备选购绿植时,需要了解一些挑选要点。)”发生语义转折,引出下文选购绿植的方法;空处需要承接上文植物的优点,自然过渡到选购话题,选项F“That’s why they are an ideal choice for home decoration.(这也是它们成为家居装饰理想之选的原因。)”贴合上下文逻辑。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Plant labels cannot reveal every detail of plant care, but they serve as a helpful guide.(植物标签无法说明养护的全部细节,但能起到很好的参考作用。)”可知整段围绕植物标签展开说明,本空为本段总起句,需要概括本段核心内容,选项B“Read plant labels.(阅读植物标签。)”能够统领整段内容。
【18题详解】
根据空前“That’s why it’s important to inspect the plant carefully.(这就是仔细检查植株十分重要的原因。)”以及空后 “Plants that are already looking unhealthy will have less chance of survival when you bring them home.(本身长势不佳的绿植带回家后很难养活。)”可知此处围绕如何检查植株健康展开,空处需要说明挑选标准,选项G“Look for signs of health, and stay away from sad-looking plants.(挑选长势健康的植株,避开状态萎靡的绿植。)”衔接前后文。
【19题详解】
根据前文“If there are lots of visible roots or it looks root-bound, the plant may need repotting.(如果能看见大量根系或是植株根系盘绕,就说明它需要换盆。)”可知前文提出植株可能需要换盆的情况;空后一句“It’s just something to keep in mind so that you can arrange a new pot and soil for it.(你只需把这件事记在心里,提前备好新花盆和土壤即可。)”说明该情况无需担忧,只需提前准备;空处起到缓和语气的过渡作用,选项D“This shouldn’t scare you off getting the plant.(这一点不会妨碍你选购这株绿植。)”逻辑通顺。
【20题详解】
根据空后“Therefore, it is necessary to check for any damage such as leaf discolouration or holes.(因此,我们需要检查叶片褪色、虫洞等受损痕迹。)”中therefore表因果,空处应为虫害会带来负面影响的原因,选项C“Plants can be easily affected by pests.(绿植很容易遭受虫害侵扰。)”与后文构成完整因果逻辑。

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。
Charles Rose lived in the country with his father, who instructed him in reading and writing. Mr. Rose told his son that once his morning lessons were finished, he might amuse himself for one hour as he pleased.
Not far from their home flowed a river, beside which stood a hut of a poor fisherman. The man supported his family by selling fish, while his wife worked tirelessly at her spinning wheel from dawn until dusk. They both worked very hard to make ends meet, yet they were deeply concerned that their only son would never learn to read and write. They could not teach him themselves, and they were too poor to send him to school.
One afternoon, Charles called at the fisherman’s hut to inquire about his missing dog. There he found the little boy, Joe, seated by the table, intently crawling marks with a piece of chalk. Charles asked him whether he was drawing pictures.
“No.” replied Joe, “I am trying to write, but I know only two words. Those I saw upon a sign and I am trying to write them.”
“If I could only learn to read and write,” he continued with a sigh, “I would be the happiest boy in the world.”
“Then I will make you happy,” Charles declared, “I may be young, but I can teach you that. My father allows me one hour each day to do as I wish. If you are willing to learn, you will soon know how to read and write.”
Both Joe and his mother were on the verge of kneeling down to thank Charles. They told him this was what they desired more than anything else.
So, the next day when the hour came, he put his book in his pocket, and went to teach Joe. Joe learned very fast, and Charles soon began to teach him how to write.
Sometime after, a gentleman called on Mr. Rose, and said, “Charles didn’t always amuse himself. I often see him go to the house of the fisherman. I fear he goes out in their boat.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

【答案】【参考范文】
The moment the gentleman left, Mr. Rose rushed out to search for his son. His mind filled with worry about Charles’ safety, he finally reached the small hut. Mr. Rose was about to push the door open when a soft murmur from inside made him pause. Curious, he leaned gently against the window and peeked in. There Charles bent over the table, holding a piece of chalk to guide Joe’s hand as they traced letters together with Joe’s eyes sparkling with excitement. Mr. Rose’s heart softened instantly— his son was using the hour to give warmth to those in need. He knocked softly, and when Charles turned around, he smiled and said “It’s time to go home, but we can come back tomorrow.”
The following day, Mr. Rose took Charles to a bookstore in the town. He picked out two new primer books— one for Charles, and the other for Joe— and even bought a small box of chalk. “Let’s make sure you both have the tools to learn well.” Mr. Rose said, patting Charles’ shoulder, “Every child deserves a chance to read and write.” From that day on, Charles’ morning lessons included Joe— they sat side by side at Mr. Rose’s table, turning pages and practicing words together. Charles still had his “free hour”, but now it was filled with laughter as he and Joe reviewed what they’d learned, making that small corner of the country a place of hope and friendship.
