Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way：It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away. For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1，000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion. It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage.Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu.Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything. 【真题再做】 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了纽约的一家餐厅Blue Hill为了提高人们对食物浪费的意识，通过将食材边角料加工成美味佳肴，生动阐释了节约食物和物尽其用的可持续发展理念，为解决可持续发展问题提供了一个参考。 32 33 34 35 32．What can be inferred about the author’s early life? A．He witnessed food shortage. B．He enjoyed the local cuisine. C．He donated food to Africans. D．He helped to cook at home. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“the phrase ‘there are children starving in Africa’ was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time”可知，作者在南非长大，在那里“非洲有孩子在挨饿”这句话与其说是在晚餐时的祷告，不如说是一种提醒，使人想起令人不安的事实。据此可以推断，作者小时候亲眼见证过食物短缺。故A项正确。 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 33．Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment? A．To customize dishes for guests. B．To make the public aware of food waste. C．To test a food processing method. D．To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste.”可知，Blue Hill进行这项实验的目的是提高人们关于食物浪费的意识，故B项正确。 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 34．What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A．Why the ingredients were used. B．Which dishes were best liked. C．What the dishes were made of. D．Where the ingredients were bought. 答案：C 解析：段落大意题。根据第五段中的“none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage”可知，wastED菜单上的东西不是由废料制作的；再由下文中的“all the ingredients used were examples of meat cuts...turned into excellent cuisine”可知，使用的所有配料都是大多数餐厅决不会考虑提供的肉块和农产品，这些食材经过重新利用并在一些优秀厨师的帮助下被转化为美味佳肴。由此可知，本段主要讲述的是wastED菜单上的菜肴是由什么制成的。故C项能够概括段落大意。 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 35．What can we learn about wastED? A．It has ended as planned. B．It is creating new jobs. C．It has regained popularity. D．It is criticized by top chefs. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu.”可知，尽管wastED收到了热情的评论，但这从一开始设计的就是一个短暂的实验，而Blue Hill 在实验结束后又回到了它的常规菜单。据此可以推断，wastED按原定计划实施完毕。故A项正确。 【语篇精读】 (一)词汇识记 1． n．提醒人的事物 2． n．祈祷，祷告 3． n．运动；战役 vi.参加运动；从事竞选活动 4． v．重新命名，更名 5． n．商品，菜品 6． adj.特制的；定做的 reminder prayer campaign rename item tailor-made 7． prep.关于 8． adj.短暂的 9． v．目击，亲眼看见；亲身经历 10． n．短缺 11． v．定制，定做 12． n．加工，处理 regarding short-lived witness shortage customize processing 13．sustain v．维持，保持，使持续→ adj.可持续的 → n．持续性 14．determine v．决定→ adj.坚定的；坚决的→ n．决心；毅力 15．generate v．产生，引起→ n．一代(人)；一代人的时间 sustainable sustainability determined determination generation (二)熟词生义(写出句中黑体词的词性和汉语意思) 1．Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving.

Yet now, I live in the countryside of Zhejiang, China with my Chinese husband and his family, 56. bamboo and tea bushes (灌木) grow wild in the mountains, chickens are always free-range, and 57. (center) heating doesn’t exist. 56．答案：where 解析：考查定语从句。根据语境可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the countryside of Zhejiang，China，从句成分完整，故用where，相当于in which。句意：但是现在，我和我的中国丈夫及他的家人住在中国浙江的乡村，那里山上有野生竹子和茶树，鸡总是放养的，而且没有中央供暖。 57．答案：central 解析：考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处作定语，修饰名词heating，应用形容词。central“中央的”，故填central。 Nothing in my life before prepared me 58.　　　　this one—and to be sure, the first time I came here I never imagined I would ever feel comfortable in this area. But it’s amazing how you can adapt 59. learn in a new environment. Over time, I’ve found 60. (I) feeling extremely at home here. And in the process, I’ve experienced things that really surprise me at times. The “sunshine scent (香味)” of freshly sunned clothes 61. (be) one of them. 58．答案：for 解析：考查介词。prepare sb.for sth.是固定用法，意为“使某人为某事做好准备”，故填介词for。句意：在我之前的生活里，没有什么能让我为这种生活做好准备——可以肯定的是，我第一次来这里的时候，我从没想过我会在这个地方感到舒适。 59．答案：and 解析：考查连词。分析句子成分可知，adapt和learn都是谓语动词，两者为并列关系，应用连词and连接。句意：但是，你如何能在新的环境中适应和学习这件事是令人惊讶的。 60．答案：myself 解析：考查代词。“find oneself＋分词”表示“发现自己处于某种状态”，这里的主语是I，应用其反身代词myself。句意：渐渐地，我发现自己在这里感到无比自在。 61．答案：is 解析：考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本句的主语是the “sunshine scent”，句中缺少谓语，根据句意和上文时态可知，此处描述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时，故填is。句意：刚晒干的衣服的“阳光香味”就是其中之一。 Growing up, my family and our neighbors never used clotheslines to dry clothing, denying me the chance 62.___________ (discover) one of the great wonders of sunshine—the sweet “sunshine scent” after sunning clothes for an entire day. The sun-dried clothes smell especially pleasant where I live, thanks to the 63.___________ (absent) of smog and plenty of blue sky 64. (afternoon) with lots of fresh air. 62．答案：to discover 解析：考查非谓语动词。the chance to do sth.是固定用法，意为“做某事的机会”，故填to discover作后置定语。句意：在我成长的过程中，我的家人和邻居从不使用晾衣绳晾晒衣服，这让我没有机会发现阳光的一大奇迹——晒了一整天衣服后的甜美的“阳光气味”。 63．答案：absence 解析：考查词性转换。此处为“the＋名词＋of...”结构，空处应用所给词的名词形式，故填 absence。句意：在我住的地方，晒干的衣物散发着特别的香味，这要归功于没有雾霾和大量蓝色天空的下午，还有大量的新鲜空气。 64．答案：afternoons 解析：考查名词的单复数。根据上文的“plenty of”可知，这里的afternoon要用复数形式，故填afternoons。句意见上一题。 If you’ve never experienced the “sunshine scent” from a sheet or shirt 65. (leave) to sun for a day, well, you’re missing out on one of life’s wonders. 65．答案：left 解析：考查非谓语动词。从句中已有谓语，所以空处应用非谓语动词形式；a sheet or shirt 与leave之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。故填left。句意：如果你从未体验过被太阳晒了一天的床单或衬衫散发出的“阳光香味”，那么，你就错过了一种生活的奇迹。 【语篇精读】 (一)词汇识记 1． adj.(动物)放养的，散养的 2． v．否认；拒绝；否定；拒绝给予；拒绝承认；拒绝接受 3.adapt v．(使)适应；改编→ n．适应；改编本→ n．适应性；适应能力→ adj.能适应的；有适应能力的 4．absent adj.缺席的；不存在；不在的；缺少；心不在焉的→ n．缺席；缺乏；不存在 free-range deny adaptation adaptability adaptable absence (二)熟词生义(写出句中黑体词的词性和汉语意思) 1．I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio in the United States.

To do so，I divided the book into two parts. In part one，I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism，starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable，before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy. Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy：the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days，you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value. In the final chapter of part one，I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1，600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them，and what traps they encountered that you should avoid. The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters，I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices，which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances. 【真题再做】 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章向读者介绍了一本书，该书解释了何为数字极简主义，并提供了实现极简主义生活方式的方法。 28．What is the book aimed at?

A．Clear-up.　　　　　　 B．Add-on. C．Check-in. D．Take-over. 答案：A 28 29 30 31 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“step away from”可知，画线词表示“清除，清理”，A项含义与画线词含义相近。 28 29 30 31 30．What is presented in the final chapter of part one?

To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds. Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin. For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test：the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces. The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we’re making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she’s having” effect. However, we’ll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I’ll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can’t I? 【真题再做】 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于就餐同伴会影响人们食物摄取量的研究，结果表明“我跟着她吃”的影响的确存在，但人们也会根据自身对他人的看法有所调整。 12 13 14 15 12．What is the recent study mainly about? A．Food safety. B．Movie viewership. C．Consumer demand. D．Eating behavior. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research，both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake.(《消费者研究杂志》最近的一项研究显示，我们的饮食同伴的体形和消费习惯都会影响我们的食物摄入量)”可知，这项最新研究主要是关于饮食行为的。 12 13 14 15 13．What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．Big eaters.　　　　　 B．Overweight persons. C．Picky eaters. D．Tall thin persons. 答案：D 12 13 14 15 解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions，it’s the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.(现有的研究宣称，你应该避免和点大份饭菜的、体重较大的人一起吃饭，这项研究与之相反——你真正需要避免的是那些高而瘦且食欲大的人)”可知，此处的beanpoles的意思应与heavier people相反，故D项“高而瘦的人”与之意义最接近。 12 13 14 15 14．Why did the researchers hire the actor? A．To see how she would affect the participants. B．To test if the participants could recognize her. C．To find out what she would do in the two tests. D．To study why she could keep her weight down. 答案：A 12 13 14 15 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“To test the effect of social influence on...”及第四句“An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first.”可知，研究者雇用这位演员是为了观察她的饮食行为是如何影响这些参与者的。 12 13 14 15 15．On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph? A．How hungry we are. B．How slim we want to be. C．How we perceive others. D．How we feel about the food. 答案：C 12 13 14 15 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“But if a thin person eats a lot，I’ll follow suit.If he can eat much and keep slim，why can’t I？(但是如果一个瘦的人吃得多，我也会这么做。如果他可以在吃得多的同时保持苗条，我为什么不能？)”可知，我们是靠观察别人的行为来调整自己所受的外来影响的。 12 13 14 15 【语篇精读】 (一)词汇识记 1． n．伙伴；伴侣；陪伴；指南；手册 2． n．食欲；胃口；强烈欲望 3． n．摄入；吸入量；吸收 4． n．(尚未获得学士学位的)大学生，大学本科生 adj.大学本科(或肄业)生的 5． n．观众人数，观众类型 companion appetite intake undergraduate viewership 6． n．版本 7． n．状况，场合；事例，实例 8．consume v．吃，喝，饮；消耗，耗费(燃料、能量、时间等)→ n．(能量、食物或材料的)消耗，消耗量→ n．消费者 9．conduct vt.实施；进行；执行 vi.& vt.指挥→ n．指挥；售票员 version case consumption consumer conductor 10．individual adj.个人的；个别的；独特的 n．个人；个体；有个性的人→ adv.个别地；单独地 11．adjust vi.& vt.适应；调节→ n．适应；调整→ adj.可调节的 12．significant adj.重要的；显著的；意义重大的→____________ adv.有重大意义地，显著地，明显地→ adj.微不足道的；无足轻重的→ n．意义；重要性 individually adjustment adjustable significantly insignificant significance (二)熟词生义(写出句中黑体词的词性和汉语意思) An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first.

We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 36 According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good. A．Fresh air cleans our lungs. B．So what are you waiting for? C．Being in nature refreshes us. D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight. E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said? F．Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care. G．All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens. 36．答案：E 解析：设空处前讲到我们都是听着人们说的“出去呼吸点儿新鲜空气”长大的，设空处后一句说“答案是肯定的”。由此可判断，E项“但是新鲜空气真的像你妈妈总说的那样对你有好处吗？”符合语境。 37 If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen.If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles (肌肉) and your brain. A．Fresh air cleans our lungs. B．So what are you waiting for? C．Being in nature refreshes us. D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight. E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said? F．Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care. G．All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens. 37．答案：A 解析：根据设空处后的内容可知，如果人们呼吸的空气是远离城市烟雾的干净的空气，那么空气中就充满了维持生命的、让人充满活力的氧气。如果在户外锻炼，人的身体会学会深呼吸，让更多的氧气进入肌肉和大脑。所以本段主要说的是呼吸新鲜空气的好处，故A项“新鲜空气清洁我们的肺”符合语境。 Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing (治愈). 38 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood (情绪). Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 39 It gives us a great feeling of peace. A．Fresh air cleans our lungs. B．So what are you waiting for? C．Being in nature refreshes us. D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight. E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said? F．Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care. G．All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens. 38．答案：G 解析：设空后的these places与G项中的recovery centers相呼应，因此，G项“全国各地的康复中心已经开始建造康复花园”符合语境。 39．答案：C 解析：设空处前介绍了接近大自然、看绿色植物对病人的康复有益，设空处后一句讲到“它给我们一种非常好的内心平和的感觉”，由此可推断，设空处应该表达置身于大自然的好处，故选C项“置身于大自然使我们精神焕发”。 40 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D. A．Fresh air cleans our lungs. B．So what are you waiting for? C．Being in nature refreshes us. D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight. E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said? F．Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care. G．All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens. 40．答案：D 解析：设空处后一句讲到，虽然阳光会使我们的皮肤衰老并受到伤害，但是阳光也能带来有益的维生素D。这应该是呼吸新鲜空气附带的好处，故D项“呼吸新鲜空气的另一个附带好处是阳光”符合语境，D项中的sunlight与设空处后的the sun’s rays相呼应。 【语篇精读】 (一)词汇识记 1． v．使活跃；使精力充沛；激励 2． n．氧气 3． n．绿色植物 4． n．光线 5． v．使恢复精力；使凉爽 energize oxygen greenery ray refresh 6． v．降低；减少；使……降下；缩小；把……放低 adj.下面的；在底部的；低洼的 7．breath n．呼吸→ v．呼吸 8．recover vi.康复→ n．康复 9．benefit n．优势；益处 v．对(某人)有用；使受益；得益于→ adj.有利的；有用的 10．associate vt.与某人交往→ adj.有联系的→ n．联系；协会；社团 lower breathe recovery beneficial associated association (二)熟词生义(写出句中黑体词的词性和汉语意思) While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D．(age基本义：n.年龄)_____________ vt.使变老 (三)词块释义 If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen.

Maya’s class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home.It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace (腿支架) to school, which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly. It was a cold autumn morning. Maya looked down, feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier, she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still, she was unsure about others’ reaction. All morning at school, kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief, they didn’t say anything. In the classroom，Maya was drawing little green buds (芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking, “What’s that for？” Not knowing what to say, Maya pretended she didn’t hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness, she glanced back at him, and found that he looked a little sad. After lunch, the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path.Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up. Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair, with a big smile on her face, sat the lady, wearing a pink coat, with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life.Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir, she greeted first.“I’m Joan，”she said cheerfully, “Glad to meet you.” Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration，“You’ve written a poem! That’s so artistic！”Samir’s face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture.“The first flowers of spring！” she cried in delight. “You really have a gift for using colour！” she said. Clearly，Joan’s praise added great power into Maya. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 In a sudden wave of bravery, Maya asked，“What’s it like being in a wheelchair？” ________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home._____________________________________ ________________________________________________________ 【任务一】　读懂故事内容，概括原文大意 本文采用线性叙事结构，以主角Maya的视角与情感变化为核心，围绕“社区服务日制作贺卡”的主线，串联“自我担忧——他人互动——获得认可”的情节，展现Maya从因腿支架自卑到因受到赞美重拾自信的成长过程，整体可划分为“开端铺垫、发展冲突、高潮互动、结局升华”四个阶段。 【任务二】　根据段首句设问，预测故事走向 根据续写的第一段首句与第二段首句确定第一段的框架；再根据第二段首句与正能量结尾确定第二段的框架。即：两段首句定一框，二框二首正能量。 Paragraph 1：In a sudden wave of bravery, Maya asked，“What’s it like being in a wheelchair？” Paragraph 2：Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home.

However, with time passing by, I realized the wheelchair not only made life convenient for me, but also offered me an opportunity to interact with my friends.”Hearing Joan’s words, Maya felt a mixed feeling of warmth and relief welling up from her heart. It wasn’t long before the visiting time came to an end, and they reluctantly said goodbye to Joan. The whole class tore themselves away from the nursing home and boarded the school bus. Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home. With a deep breath, Maya gathered her courage, pointed at her leg brace and murmured，“It’s a leg brace, meant to help me walk more easily. I’m so sorry that I ignored your care this morning because I was so sensitive at that time.” Shocked and concerned, Samir hugged Maya tightly, expressed his appreciation for Maya’s sharing and offered to do anything he could to help her. Cold as the day was, they were enveloped in the warmth, full of strength to take up challenges in life. [参考范文2] In a sudden wave of bravery, Maya asked，“What’s it like being in a wheelchair？”“It’s not as bad as imagined，”Joan responded, wearing a bright smile.“It helps me move around with ease and ensures a normal life.” Hearing Joan’s words, Maya nodded in agreement, lost in thought. Noticing Maya’s leg brace, Joan grabbed her hand, eyes full of encouragement, adding. “Whatever you meet, it is part of your life. Just embrace it positively.” Maya’s face lit up with a smile of gratitude, with a mixture of warmth and relief flooding over her. Delightful moments passed by so quickly that soon it was time for Maya and Samir to bid farewell to Joan. Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home. Pointing at the leg brace, Maya smiled to Samir and broke the silence, “It is my leg brace. The reason why I wear it is that it can help me walk more steadily and smoothly.” Hearing Maya’s explanation, Samir appreciated the leg brace with an amazed look, exclaiming “That’s super cool！” Samir’s words cheered Maya up, which made up her mind to coexist with the disability. With laughter lingering in the bus, their sincere friendship blossomed in the autumn like a flower that never fades. [参考范文3] In a sudden wave of bravery, Maya asked，“What’s it like being in a wheelchair？” “It helps me get around，” Joan said simply. Then, grinning, she added, “You’d be surprised at how fast I can go in this thing！” Right then, she moved the wheelchair across the room, turning around, back and forth. And what surprised Maya most was that she didn’t detect any pity or embarrassment from her. Then Maya looked up and found Joan was smiling, eyes purposefully resting on her brace. It was then that a spark of power was lit up deep inside Maya. That afternoon, the three of them had a pleasant talk over lots of things until it was dusk. Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home. “Joan is great. I like her.” Samir admired. Maya nodded, lost in thought. With Joan’s wheelchair and smile in mind, she summoned up her courage and said，“Hey, remember the question you asked me in the morning? The brace keeps my toe up so I can walk better. And sorry for ignoring your care because I thought it’s a little embarrassing when people talked about it...”“Really？” Samir looked amazed, reached out and touched it gently.“That’s super cool！” His words were so sincere that Maya felt warm and moved. It was a reaction that she expected deep inside her heart. Though it was autumn outside, it felt like spring for Maya. A little green bud was bursting—she and her brace looked cool, beautiful and dynamic in her and others’ eyes. $
