Every summer since I was ten, Grandma would take me to her beach cottage in Port Luminelle, a coastal town in Provence. The vine-covered wooden house always smelt of salty sea breeze, and its wooden floor groaning like an old ship. She believed tides carried secrets—if you listened closely enough, the sea would whisper life’s answers that bound humans to its rhythm.
On my twelfth birthday, Grandma handed me a cracked ceramic jar. “Collect the tide’s voice,” she said, pointing to the receding waves. The beach was a mosaic of shells and driftwood, each fragment of the ocean’s story tangled with ours. I chased the water’s edge, filling the jar with bubbles that popped like soap dreams. Disappointed, I showed her the empty jar. She smiled, her wrinkles crinkling like tide pools. “Patience, little girl. The sea gives only to those who wait—it teaches us to respect its timing, as our fate is tied to its rise and fall.”
That evening, we watched bioluminescent plankton(荧光浮游生物)spark in the dark. Grandma hummed a fisherman’s tune, her voice weaving through waves that licked the shore. Suddenly, a green glow outlined my footprints—magic born from waiting, a reminder that humans and the ocean share a silent dialogue, each influencing the other.
The next morning, Grandma didn’t wake. Her jar, half-buried in sand, contained not water but dozens of tiny scrolls. Each held a tide riddle: When the moon pulls too hard, does the sea cry or laugh? The last note read: You’ve learned to hold space for wonder and to see how the ocean’s moods mirror our own.
Years later, during my college finals, I replayed that green glow in my mind. When stress threatened to overwhelm me, I became the plankton—tiny, glowing, and persistent, part of a larger ecosystem where every creature, including humans, relies on the sea’s balance. At Grandma’s cottage last summer, I buried a new jar. Inside was a pebble I’d polished for hours, smooth as the patience she taught me, a symbol of how we must nurture our bond with the ocean, just as it nurtures us.
Now, when city noise drowns my thoughts, I picture that pebble. The sea doesn’t always answer in words. It shows us that our destiny is tangled with its tides—every wave, every secret, a thread in the fabric of our shared existence.
41. In the first paragraph, the underlined word “whisper” most closely means “______”.
A. Shout loudly. B. Reveal subtly. C. Cover permanently. D. Repeat endlessly.
42. Why did the grandmother emphasize “waiting” when collecting the tide’s voice?
A. To teach patience as a way to understand the ocean’s lessons.
B. Because the sea only speaks at night.
C. To prevent the jar from breaking.
D. Because waves destroy bubbles quickly.
43. What do the tide riddles in Grandma’s jar symbolize?
A. The ocean’s unpredictable nature.
B. The need to solve complex problems.
C. The connection between human questions and the sea’s mysteries.
D. Grandma’s love for traditional folk stories.
44. How does the bioluminescent plankton scene reflect the theme?
A. It shows the ocean’s ability to create beauty independently.
B. It illustrates the interdependence between humans and marine life.
C. It highlights the narrator’s fear of the unknown sea.
D. It emphasizes the importance of scientific observation.
45. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Grandma’s Beach Cottage. B. The Jar of Stardust.
C. Tides of Shared Destiny. D. Patience and the City.

Colossal Biosciences, a company trying to revive long-gone species, recently announced that they had genetically engineered a lab mouse to exhibit traits resembling those of the extinct woolly mammoth (猛犸,毛象). Instead of having mammoth-like size or tusks, the creature possessed an abundance of dense, golden fur. It was, in other words, adorable. “That was the main unintended consequence,” says Ben Lamm, Colossal’s boss and co-founder.
Colossal’s long-term goal is on a larger scale. The company wants to create real mammoths by editing the genes of Asian elephants. To understand which edit s are needed, the firm’s scientists must work out which adjustments give rise to mammoth traits. That is hard to test in elephants, partly because these animals gestate (孕育) for 22 months — which is a long time to wait for data — and partly because they are endangered, highly intelligent creatures which cannot be experimented at will. To avoid these difficulties, the company’s scientists set out to test which edits might lead to mammoth-like features in mice first.
Led by Beth Shapiro, an expert in ancient DNA, Colossal’s team first searched for mouse mutations (变异) already known to cause woolly fur. At the same time, they also compared ancient mammoth genomes (基因组) that had been naturally preserved with genomes from present-day Asian elephants. By doing so, the team was able to discover genes that might contribute to a specifically mammothy appearance, rather than a purely elephantine one. The literature could then be scoured to see if mutated versions of those genes existed in mice.
The team settled on ten mutations in ten genes: nine related to hair and fur and one linked to fat storage, which may have kept mammoths warm on the tundra (冻原) . Thus armed, the team at Colossal began to engineer those mutations into lab mice using tools based on the gene-editing technology called CRISPR, which can be thought of as a pair of molecular scissors that makes cuts in specific genes.
In experiments conducted on several groups of mice in 2024, combinations of these ten genes were slightly adjusted. The resulting mice were not hybrids — they contained no DNA taken from actual mammoths — but did wind up dense, woolen fur. The mutation put into the fat-storage gene, however, did not immediately lead to heavier mice. Whether these changes connected with diet and temperature remains to be seen. Indeed, the next step will be to test whether the new physical traits give the woolly mice any advantage in handling the cold. “This will be done during the coming year,” says Dr. Shapiro.
The results are intriguing, but a revived mammoth remains far away. Making a mouse woolly is one-thing — adjusting an elephant to be woolly, small-eared and cold-resistant is a truly tough task. “It’s the first step on a long journey,” says Eske Willerslev, a specialist in ancient DNA at the University of Cambridge, who was not involved with the work.
There are still many unknowns, such as whether an edited Asian elephant would truly resemble a mammoth or just a long-haired elephant. Some critics argue that revived mammoths might face health issues and that the funds used for de-extinction could be better spent on protecting existing species. However, Colossal’s founders argue that their technology could also help prevent extinction by aiding species struggling with climate change.
46. Why did Colossal Biosciences choose to test genetic edits on mice instead of elephants?
A. Mice are easier to handle in labs.
B. Elephants have a long gestation period and are endangered.
C. Mice have more similar DNA to mammoths.
D. Elephants are not intelligent enough for the experiments.
47. What is the primary function of the third paragraph in the passage?
A. To explain the scientific process of identifying and selecting genetic mutations.
B. To describe the initial success of the genetic engineering project in mice.
C. To argue for the ethical use of genetic editing technology.
D. To discuss the challenges and future steps in the de-extinction project.
48. What can be inferred about the fat-storage gene mutation in the genetically engineered mice?
A. It immediately made the mice heavier.
B. It had no effect on the mice’s appearance.
C. Its impact on weight may depend on diet and temperature.
D. It was the most important gene for creating woolly fur.
49. What can we learn from paragraph 6 and 7?
A. Eske Willerslev argues that the technology could help prevent species extinction.
B. Creating a true woolly mammoth remains a distant goal.
C. Making a mouse woolly is a truly tough task.
D. Scientists cannot agree on the importance of woolly fur.
50. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To describe the process of genetic engineering in mice.
B. To compare the traits of modern elephants and ancient mammoths.
C. To argue for the ethical use of genetic editing technology.
D. To explain the challenges and progress in reviving the woolly mammoth.

In the era of rapid technological advancement, the significance of humanities is often overshadowed by the dazzling achievements of science and technology. Many argue that in a world driven by innovation and efficiency, disciplines such as literature, history, and philosophy seem less relevant. However, the humanities are not only necessary but also crucial for a balanced and fulfilling human experience. They provide the foundation for understanding our past, shaping our present, and envisioning our future.
The humanities offer a profound understanding of human nature and society. Through the study of history, we can learn from the successes and failures of past civilizations. gaining valuable insights into the complexities of human behavior and social dynamics. Literature, on the other hand, allows us to explore the depths of human emotions and experiences, helping us empathize with diverse perspectives. In a world increasingly dominated by data and algorithms (算法), the humanities remind us of the importance of human values and the interconnectedness of our lives.
Moreover, the humanities play a vital role in fostering critical thinking and creativity. Unlike the rigid formulas and predictable outcomes in many scientific fields, the humanities encourage open-ended inquiry and the exploration of multiple interpretations. When we engage with philosophical texts or analyze complex historical events, we develop the ability to think critically, question assumptions, and generate innovative ideas. These skills are essential not only in academic settings but also in the workplace, where adaptability and creative problem-solving are highly valued.
Some may argue that the practical applications of humanities are limited compared to those of science and technology. However, this perspective overlooks the broader impact of humanities on society. The humanities are the cornerstone of cultural heritage and identity. They preserve and celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions, and languages that make our world rich and vibrant. By studying the humanities, we gain a deeper appreciation for the arts. literature, and music, which enrich our lives and inspire us on a personal level. In a globalized world, the humanities also promote cross-cultural understanding and tolerance. helping to bridge the gaps between different societies.
Furthermore, the humanities are essential for ethical decision-making. In an age when technology has the power to reshape our lives in unprecedented ways, it is crucial to have a moral compass to guide our actions. The study of ethics, philosophy, and literature provides a framework for evaluating the consequences of technological advancements and ensuring that they correspond with our values. For example, debates on artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and digital privacy require a strong foundation in ethical reasoning, which is nurtured through the humanities.
In conclusion, the humanities are indispensable in the age of rapid technological development. They provide a holistic (整体的) understanding of the human experience, foster critical thinking and creativity, preserve cultural heritage, promote ethical decision-making, and enrich our lives in ways that technology alone cannot. While science and technology offer incredible tools and opportunities, it is the humanities that give us the wisdom to use them wisely and the vision to create a better future for all.
51. According to the passage, what role do the humanities play in understanding human nature and society?
A. They provide rigid formulas for predicting human behavior.
B. They focus solely on technological advancements.
C. They offer insights into the complexities of human behavior and social dynamics.
D. They have no relevance in modern society.
52. What can be inferred about the relationship between the humanities and critical thinking?
A. The humanities discourage critical thinking.
B. The humanities and critical thinking are unrelated.
C. The humanities are essential for developing critical thinking skills.
D. Critical thinking is only useful in scientific fields.
53. Why does the author argue that the humanities are important for ethical decision-making?
A. Because they provide technological solutions to ethical problems.
B. Because they offer a framework for evaluating the consequences of technological advancements.
C. Because they focus on memorizing facts and figures.
D. Because they eliminate the need for ethical debates.

After months of setbacks at work, I felt emotionally burnt out. Deadlines were piling up, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to get ahead. In desperate need of a break, I decided to take a few days off and go hiking in the mountains. I hoped the peaceful surroundings would help me clear my mind and gain some fresh perspectives.
The first day was calm and beautiful, and I felt a bit of relief. But on the second day, things didn’t go as planned. I decided to take a challenging trail, hoping it would help me push through my frustrations. I thought that conquering this trail would lift my spirits and allow me to gain clarity. Unfortunately, I got lost. The trail was confusing, and I soon found myself deep in the forest, with no idea how to get back to where I started.
My phone had no signal, and I started to feel overwhelmed. I sat on a rock, feeling as if I was at the end of my rope. My thoughts drifted back to work—how nothing was going right, how I was failing at everything. I was in a bad place, emotionally, and now physically lost in the woods.
Just as I was about to give up, I heard voices. Two hikers, a man and a woman, appeared through the trees. They asked if I needed help, and I explained my situation. Without hesitation, they offered to guide me back to the main trail.
As we walked together, I shared my feelings of frustration with them. They listened patiently and said something that really stuck with me. The woman said, “Sometimes, you have to step back to move forward. Don’t be too hard on yourself.”
By the time we reached the trail, I felt lighter. I was grateful for their kindness and understanding. Before we parted ways, the man said, “When you’re able, remember to help others who feel lost.”
I realized then how important it is to offer a helping hand when someone needs it. I’m thankful for meeting these two strangers, and I promised myself I’d do the same for others in the future.

Every summer since I was ten, Grandma would take me to her beach cottage in Port Luminelle, a coastal town in Provence. The vine-covered wooden house always smelt of salty sea breeze, and its wooden floor groaning like an old ship. She believed tides carried secrets—if you listened closely enough, the sea would whisper life’s answers that bound humans to its rhythm.
On my twelfth birthday, Grandma handed me a cracked ceramic jar. “Collect the tide’s voice,” she said, pointing to the receding waves. The beach was a mosaic of shells and driftwood, each fragment of the ocean’s story tangled with ours. I chased the water’s edge, filling the jar with bubbles that popped like soap dreams. Disappointed, I showed her the empty jar. She smiled, her wrinkles crinkling like tide pools. “Patience, little girl. The sea gives only to those who wait—it teaches us to respect its timing, as our fate is tied to its rise and fall.”
That evening, we watched bioluminescent plankton(荧光浮游生物)spark in the dark. Grandma hummed a fisherman’s tune, her voice weaving through waves that licked the shore. Suddenly, a green glow outlined my footprints—magic born from waiting, a reminder that humans and the ocean share a silent dialogue, each influencing the other.
The next morning, Grandma didn’t wake. Her jar, half-buried in sand, contained not water but dozens of tiny scrolls. Each held a tide riddle: When the moon pulls too hard, does the sea cry or laugh? The last note read: You’ve learned to hold space for wonder and to see how the ocean’s moods mirror our own.
Years later, during my college finals, I replayed that green glow in my mind. When stress threatened to overwhelm me, I became the plankton—tiny, glowing, and persistent, part of a larger ecosystem where every creature, including humans, relies on the sea’s balance. At Grandma’s cottage last summer, I buried a new jar. Inside was a pebble I’d polished for hours, smooth as the patience she taught me, a symbol of how we must nurture our bond with the ocean, just as it nurtures us.
Now, when city noise drowns my thoughts, I picture that pebble. The sea doesn’t always answer in words. It shows us that our destiny is tangled with its tides—every wave, every secret, a thread in the fabric of our shared existence.
41. In the first paragraph, the underlined word “whisper” most closely means “______”.
A. Shout loudly. B. Reveal subtly. C. Cover permanently. D. Repeat endlessly.
42. Why did the grandmother emphasize “waiting” when collecting the tide’s voice?
A. To teach patience as a way to understand the ocean’s lessons.
B. Because the sea only speaks at night.
C. To prevent the jar from breaking.
D. Because waves destroy bubbles quickly.
43. What do the tide riddles in Grandma’s jar symbolize?
A. The ocean’s unpredictable nature.
B. The need to solve complex problems.
C. The connection between human questions and the sea’s mysteries.
D. Grandma’s love for traditional folk stories.
44. How does the bioluminescent plankton scene reflect the theme?
A. It shows the ocean’s ability to create beauty independently.
B. It illustrates the interdependence between humans and marine life.
C. It highlights the narrator’s fear of the unknown sea.
D. It emphasizes the importance of scientific observation.
45. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Grandma’s Beach Cottage. B. The Jar of Stardust.
C. Tides of Shared Destiny. D. Patience and the City.
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者从十岁起每年夏天和奶奶在普罗旺斯海边小屋的经历,奶奶引导作者倾听大海的声音,通过收集潮水的声音、观察荧光浮游生物等事,让作者领悟到人类与海洋紧密相连,命运如同潮水般息息相关。
【41题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“She believed tides carried secrets—if you listened closely enough, the sea would whisper life’s answers that bound humans to its rhythm.(她相信潮水承载着秘密 —— 如果你听得够仔细,大海会 whisper 将人类与它的节奏联系在一起的生命答案)”可知,潮水承载着秘密,如果你听得够仔细,大海就能微妙地揭示答案。所以这里“whisper”应是指大海微妙地揭示答案。故选B。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Patience, little girl. The sea gives only to those who wait—it teaches us to respect its timing, as our fate is tied to its rise and fall.(耐心点,小姑娘。大海只给予那些等待的人 —— 它教会我们尊重它的节奏,因为我们的命运与它的涨落息息相关)” 可知奶奶强调 “等待” 是为了教会作者耐心,以此理解大海的启示。故选A。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Each held a tide riddle: When the moon pulls too hard, does the sea cry or laugh? The last note read: You’ve learned to hold space for wonder and to see how the ocean’s moods mirror our own.(每一张纸条上都写着一个与潮水有关的谜题:当月亮引力过强时,大海是在哭泣还是在欢笑?最后一张纸条上写着:你已经学会为奇迹留出空间,并看到海洋的情绪如何反映我们自己的情绪)” 可推知,潮水谜语象征着人类的疑问与海洋奥秘之间的紧密联系,人类通过对这些谜语的思考,能感悟到人类自身与海洋之间千丝万缕的关系,正如海洋的情绪能反映人类的情绪一样。奶奶罐子里的潮水谜语象征着人类的疑问与海洋奥秘之间的联系。故选C。

Colossal Biosciences, a company trying to revive long-gone species, recently announced that they had genetically engineered a lab mouse to exhibit traits resembling those of the extinct woolly mammoth (猛犸,毛象). Instead of having mammoth-like size or tusks, the creature possessed an abundance of dense, golden fur. It was, in other words, adorable. “That was the main unintended consequence,” says Ben Lamm, Colossal’s boss and co-founder.
Colossal’s long-term goal is on a larger scale. The company wants to create real mammoths by editing the genes of Asian elephants. To understand which edit s are needed, the firm’s scientists must work out which adjustments give rise to mammoth traits. That is hard to test in elephants, partly because these animals gestate (孕育) for 22 months — which is a long time to wait for data — and partly because they are endangered, highly intelligent creatures which cannot be experimented at will. To avoid these difficulties, the company’s scientists set out to test which edits might lead to mammoth-like features in mice first.
Led by Beth Shapiro, an expert in ancient DNA, Colossal’s team first searched for mouse mutations (变异) already known to cause woolly fur. At the same time, they also compared ancient mammoth genomes (基因组) that had been naturally preserved with genomes from present-day Asian elephants. By doing so, the team was able to discover genes that might contribute to a specifically mammothy appearance, rather than a purely elephantine one. The literature could then be scoured to see if mutated versions of those genes existed in mice.
The team settled on ten mutations in ten genes: nine related to hair and fur and one linked to fat storage, which may have kept mammoths warm on the tundra (冻原) . Thus armed, the team at Colossal began to engineer those mutations into lab mice using tools based on the gene-editing technology called CRISPR, which can be thought of as a pair of molecular scissors that makes cuts in specific genes.
In experiments conducted on several groups of mice in 2024, combinations of these ten genes were slightly adjusted. The resulting mice were not hybrids — they contained no DNA taken from actual mammoths — but did wind up dense, woolen fur. The mutation put into the fat-storage gene, however, did not immediately lead to heavier mice. Whether these changes connected with diet and temperature remains to be seen. Indeed, the next step will be to test whether the new physical traits give the woolly mice any advantage in handling the cold. “This will be done during the coming year,” says Dr. Shapiro.
The results are intriguing, but a revived mammoth remains far away. Making a mouse woolly is one-thing — adjusting an elephant to be woolly, small-eared and cold-resistant is a truly tough task. “It’s the first step on a long journey,” says Eske Willerslev, a specialist in ancient DNA at the University of Cambridge, who was not involved with the work.
There are still many unknowns, such as whether an edited Asian elephant would truly resemble a mammoth or just a long-haired elephant. Some critics argue that revived mammoths might face health issues and that the funds used for de-extinction could be better spent on protecting existing species. However, Colossal’s founders argue that their technology could also help prevent extinction by aiding species struggling with climate change.
46. Why did Colossal Biosciences choose to test genetic edits on mice instead of elephants?
A. Mice are easier to handle in labs.
B. Elephants have a long gestation period and are endangered.
C. Mice have more similar DNA to mammoths.
D. Elephants are not intelligent enough for the experiments.
47. What is the primary function of the third paragraph in the passage?
A. To explain the scientific process of identifying and selecting genetic mutations.
B. To describe the initial success of the genetic engineering project in mice.
C. To argue for the ethical use of genetic editing technology.
D. To discuss the challenges and future steps in the de-extinction project.
48. What can be inferred about the fat-storage gene mutation in the genetically engineered mice?
A. It immediately made the mice heavier.
B. It had no effect on the mice’s appearance.
C. Its impact on weight may depend on diet and temperature.
D. It was the most important gene for creating woolly fur.
49. What can we learn from paragraph 6 and 7?
A. Eske Willerslev argues that the technology could help prevent species extinction.
B. Creating a true woolly mammoth remains a distant goal.
C. Making a mouse woolly is a truly tough task.
D. Scientists cannot agree on the importance of woolly fur.
50. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To describe the process of genetic engineering in mice.
B. To compare the traits of modern elephants and ancient mammoths.
C. To argue for the ethical use of genetic editing technology.
D. To explain the challenges and progress in reviving the woolly mammoth.

In the era of rapid technological advancement, the significance of humanities is often overshadowed by the dazzling achievements of science and technology. Many argue that in a world driven by innovation and efficiency, disciplines such as literature, history, and philosophy seem less relevant. However, the humanities are not only necessary but also crucial for a balanced and fulfilling human experience. They provide the foundation for understanding our past, shaping our present, and envisioning our future.
The humanities offer a profound understanding of human nature and society. Through the study of history, we can learn from the successes and failures of past civilizations. gaining valuable insights into the complexities of human behavior and social dynamics. Literature, on the other hand, allows us to explore the depths of human emotions and experiences, helping us empathize with diverse perspectives. In a world increasingly dominated by data and algorithms (算法), the humanities remind us of the importance of human values and the interconnectedness of our lives.
Moreover, the humanities play a vital role in fostering critical thinking and creativity. Unlike the rigid formulas and predictable outcomes in many scientific fields, the humanities encourage open-ended inquiry and the exploration of multiple interpretations. When we engage with philosophical texts or analyze complex historical events, we develop the ability to think critically, question assumptions, and generate innovative ideas. These skills are essential not only in academic settings but also in the workplace, where adaptability and creative problem-solving are highly valued.
Some may argue that the practical applications of humanities are limited compared to those of science and technology. However, this perspective overlooks the broader impact of humanities on society. The humanities are the cornerstone of cultural heritage and identity. They preserve and celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions, and languages that make our world rich and vibrant. By studying the humanities, we gain a deeper appreciation for the arts. literature, and music, which enrich our lives and inspire us on a personal level. In a globalized world, the humanities also promote cross-cultural understanding and tolerance. helping to bridge the gaps between different societies.
Furthermore, the humanities are essential for ethical decision-making. In an age when technology has the power to reshape our lives in unprecedented ways, it is crucial to have a moral compass to guide our actions. The study of ethics, philosophy, and literature provides a framework for evaluating the consequences of technological advancements and ensuring that they correspond with our values. For example, debates on artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and digital privacy require a strong foundation in ethical reasoning, which is nurtured through the humanities.
In conclusion, the humanities are indispensable in the age of rapid technological development. They provide a holistic (整体的) understanding of the human experience, foster critical thinking and creativity, preserve cultural heritage, promote ethical decision-making, and enrich our lives in ways that technology alone cannot. While science and technology offer incredible tools and opportunities, it is the humanities that give us the wisdom to use them wisely and the vision to create a better future for all.

After months of setbacks at work, I felt emotionally burnt out. Deadlines were piling up, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to get ahead. In desperate need of a break, I decided to take a few days off and go hiking in the mountains. I hoped the peaceful surroundings would help me clear my mind and gain some fresh perspectives.
The first day was calm and beautiful, and I felt a bit of relief. But on the second day, things didn’t go as planned. I decided to take a challenging trail, hoping it would help me push through my frustrations. I thought that conquering this trail would lift my spirits and allow me to gain clarity. Unfortunately, I got lost. The trail was confusing, and I soon found myself deep in the forest, with no idea how to get back to where I started.
My phone had no signal, and I started to feel overwhelmed. I sat on a rock, feeling as if I was at the end of my rope. My thoughts drifted back to work—how nothing was going right, how I was failing at everything. I was in a bad place, emotionally, and now physically lost in the woods.
Just as I was about to give up, I heard voices. Two hikers, a man and a woman, appeared through the trees. They asked if I needed help, and I explained my situation. Without hesitation, they offered to guide me back to the main trail.
As we walked together, I shared my feelings of frustration with them. They listened patiently and said something that really stuck with me. The woman said, “Sometimes, you have to step back to move forward. Don’t be too hard on yourself.”
By the time we reached the trail, I felt lighter. I was grateful for their kindness and understanding. Before we parted ways, the man said, “When you’re able, remember to help others who feel lost.”
I realized then how important it is to offer a helping hand when someone needs it. I’m thankful for meeting these two strangers, and I promised myself I’d do the same for others in the future.
