Best Walking Tours in London
London is one of the most walkable capital cities in the world. Walking through its streets lets you feel the city’s history, culture, and charm. So, lace up your sneakers — here are London’s best walking tours for your next visit.
Tour for Muggles
This is a can’t-miss trip in England. The tour starts near London Bridge subway station and moves on to locations used in the Harry Potter films (and several book locations). There’s one subway ride (London Bridge to Westminster) but otherwise it’s all on foot. Groups are limited to 20 and accept tourists of all ages.
East End Walks
East End Walks is a collection of 15 tours run by one man, David Rosenberg. The tours cover the social history of the traditionally working class area. There can be up to 30 in each group. You meet near the subway station. Rosenberg, whose grandparents moved to the East End as children, loves the area and its social history a lot — it holds the story of the working class.
Historic Pubs, Food & Beer Tour
Think of this as a walk with friends rather than a tour (groups are limited to 12). You meet at a best selfie spot — at Rotherhithe, overlooking the Thames — then catch the overground train to the pubs. By reservation only. Five of London’s most historic pubs in four hours is not an easy but worthwhile task.
Jermyn Street Fashion Walk
A seriously professional private tour to match your preferences. Groups are recommended no larger than eight, and it’s all done on foot. Most of the guides, who lead the Jermyn Street walk, have a background of art, history or fashion, and one even trained as a tailor.
1. Which tour best suits people who are interested in the history of the working class?
A. Tour for Muggles. B. Jermyn Street Fashion Walk.
C. East End Walks. D. Historic Pubs, Food & Beer Tour.
2. What do the four walking tours have in common?
A. They limit the number of a group. B. They have professional guides.
C. They are private tours to your preference. D. They recommend reservation in advance.
3. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. News report. B. Travel brochure. C. History textbook. D. Geographic magazine.
B
The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Come fall, our backyard football games began with passing practice.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, accelerating (加速) my competitive fever. However, in girls’ sports games at my school, I was no star. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. School sports did not bleed into the weekends, as they do today, but at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved (演变) in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.
4. How did the author feel about being picked last for gym teams?
A. Responsible B. Confident C. Ashamed D. Amazed
5. What did the author owe her victory in the Softball Throw event to?
A. Her advanced sports outfits.
B. Her confidence in her sports ability.
C. The sports talent passed down from her father.
D. The example and training offered by her father.
6. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood?
A. She generally exercised on weekends. B. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.
C. She preferred reading to exercising. D. She kept her love for sports.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?
A. To describe how her father built her interest in sports.
B. To recall her childhood memories about sports.
C. To express her passion for sports and fitness.
D. To stress the benefits of physical exercise.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for thousands of years. But recently, it has found a new stage: social media. From the well-known gua sha tools to the practice of drinking hot water, TCM-inspired habits are becoming popular in health routines around the world.
Videos on platforms like TikTok and Instagram romanticize TCM practices. They show people boiling apples for better digestion, changing iced coffee to hot water, or wearing slippers indoors — small habits like these are presented as keys to a longer, healthier life.
But what is behind this trend? Unlike Western medicine, which often treats symptoms (症状) one by one, TCM focuses on balance within the body. It uses ideas such as qi (vital energy), yin and yang, and the interaction between the body and its environment. The goal is to prevent illnesses and achieve a harmonious (和谐的) state, rather than simply reacting to illness.
However, the rapid spread of these traditions online raises concerns. On social media, complex traditions are often simplified into bite-sized habits like “drink hot water” or “avoid cold foods”. When practices that developed over centuries are reduced to quick advice, the deep philosophical and cultural bases behind them can disappear. What remains is a simplified version of a much richer system of knowledge.
There are also practical concerns. While many people use TCM for relaxation and preventative care, scientists note that some herbal (草药) treatments lack enough medical evidence and can even carry risks. The line between a cultural practice and medical advice can easily be unclear online.
Despite these debates, the popularity of Chinese wellness reflects a real search for balance in today’s fast-paced world. Whether people are embracing the deep philosophy or simply the beauty of these traditions, it’s clear that TCM has firmly entered the global self-care conversation.
8. How do online platforms present TCM practices according to the passage?
A. As romantic personal choices. B. As advanced medical treatments.
C. As fashionable lifestyle habits. D. As easy-to-follow daily health tips.
9. What is a key feature of TCM’s approach to health compared with Western medicine?
A. It aims at inner harmony. B. It treats each symptom separately.
C. It depends on the environment. D. It uses traditional Chinese medicine.
10. What concern does the author raise about the spread of TCM on social media?
A. Unclear herbal treatments. B. Unnecessary medical expense.
C. Overemphasis on quick advice. D. Loss of deeper cultural meaning.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To discuss TCM’s rising online popularity.
B. To describe how to use TCM practices.
C. To argue TCM is better than Western medicine.
D. To warn against online TCM health trends.

All the time you spent memorizing multiplication tables (乘法表) may have made you a better mathematician (数学家), according to a new study. A team of scientists from Stanford University, in California, has shown how the brain reorganizes itself as kids learn maths.
After a certain amount of time spent practising maths, kids can put away the calculator (计算器). They don’t even need to count on their fingers. They simply know the answers to subtraction (−), addition (+), and multiplication (×) facts. The quicker kids can recall basic maths facts, the easier it is for them to solve more difficult maths problems.
The Stanford University researchers observed (观察) the brain activity of 28 students, ages 7 to 9, for the study. They took scans of the students’ brains as the students solved maths calculations without the help of a calculator, pen or paper. A calculation — three plus four equals seven, for example — flashed on a screen. The students pushed a button to say if the answer was right or wrong. The scientists also recorded the response speed, and what parts of the brain became active as the kids pushed the button.
These observations showed a process called fact retrieval. Rather than using their fingers to count, or scrawling out equations (列算式) on a piece of paper, the students pulled the answers from memory. It’s as if the answers to basic subtraction, addition, and multiplication problems are kept in a long-term storage part in the brain. The storage part was built from repetition. “Experience really does matter,” said Dr Kathy Mann Koepeke of the National Institutes of Health.
Children make the change from counting to fact retrieval when they are 8 to 9 years old, the study says. This is the time when most students are learning basic addition and subtraction. When kids have basic maths facts memorized, the brain has more free space to learn more difficult maths.
This process has benefits for the future. The study showed, as kids got older, their answers relied more on memory and became quicker and more correct. Less brain activity was involved in counting. Some children make this change quicker than others.
Scientists hope to use this research to develop new strategies to help kids learn maths at all levels. One strategy the study suggests is for students to test themselves in different orders-solving five times three before five times two, for example. Mixing up the order keeps the brain active. Keep up the training, and you may be a maths whiz in no time.
12. In the study, kids put away calculators because they can ________.
A. use calculators well B. scrawl out equations
C. recall basic maths facts D. count on their fingers
13. The process of “fact retrieval” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. picking out results by working together with their partners
B. finding out answers based on practising carefully and patiently
C. trying out ways of dealing with problems by attending training
D. working out problems according to what they have remembered
14. What can we know from the study?
A. Kids need to practice using calculators to keep their brains active.
B. Maths learners should change to counting practice at the age of 8 to 9
C. Training by mixing up the order of multiplication tables helps learn maths better.
D. Less brain activity was involved in solving difficult problems when kids get older.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Maths from Memory B. Strategy Development
C. Brain Reorganization D. Training by Repetition

Anthony was a fifth-grade student in the Albany Elementary School which had a rich history and a good reputation across the state, thanks to its devotion to providing high-quality education and shaping generations of Albany’s children.
Frankly speaking, Anthony was neither the brightest student, nor the most athletic in the school, but he had a real enthusiasm for learning and always approached his studies with strong curiosity. Every morning, he would greet the school day with a wide and genuine smile that brightened the entire classroom. His classmates couldn’t help but be influenced by his optimistic attitude towards life, which helped him become very popular and also form many friendships at school.
One unexpected day, the teacher announced a surprise test. It was a subject that Anthony had struggled with. Even more unfortunately, he was not fully prepared. As the papers were handed out, Anthony’s heart sank, and his mind went blank, with a wave of anxiety and nervousness flooding over him. He looked around, hoping for some comfort and encouragement, but all he saw were the focused expressions of his classmates. The silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the occasional sound of turning papers.
As he began to write, Anthony realized that he knew only a fraction (小部分) of the answers. His mind raced, trying to recall anything that might help him, but in vain (徒劳的). Obviously, he was lost.
Just then, a piece of paper flew across the room and landed on Anthony’s desk.

(1)续写词数应为150左右;

Para. 1 It was a note from one of his friends, offering him the answers.

School sports did not bleed into the weekends, as they do today, but at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved (演变) in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for thousands of years. But recently, it has found a new stage: social media. From the well-known gua sha tools to the practice of drinking hot water, TCM-inspired habits are becoming popular in health routines around the world.
Videos on platforms like TikTok and Instagram romanticize TCM practices. They show people boiling apples for better digestion, changing iced coffee to hot water, or wearing slippers indoors — small habits like these are presented as keys to a longer, healthier life.
But what is behind this trend? Unlike Western medicine, which often treats symptoms (症状) one by one, TCM focuses on balance within the body. It uses ideas such as qi (vital energy), yin and yang, and the interaction between the body and its environment. The goal is to prevent illnesses and achieve a harmonious (和谐的) state, rather than simply reacting to illness.
However, the rapid spread of these traditions online raises concerns. On social media, complex traditions are often simplified into bite-sized habits like “drink hot water” or “avoid cold foods”. When practices that developed over centuries are reduced to quick advice, the deep philosophical and cultural bases behind them can disappear. What remains is a simplified version of a much richer system of knowledge.
There are also practical concerns. While many people use TCM for relaxation and preventative care, scientists note that some herbal (草药) treatments lack enough medical evidence and can even carry risks. The line between a cultural practice and medical advice can easily be unclear online.
Despite these debates, the popularity of Chinese wellness reflects a real search for balance in today’s fast-paced world. Whether people are embracing the deep philosophy or simply the beauty of these traditions, it’s clear that TCM has firmly entered the global self-care conversation.
8. How do online platforms present TCM practices according to the passage?
A. As romantic personal choices. B. As advanced medical treatments.
C. As fashionable lifestyle habits. D. As easy-to-follow daily health tips.
9. What is a key feature of TCM’s approach to health compared with Western medicine?
A. It aims at inner harmony. B. It treats each symptom separately.
C. It depends on the environment. D. It uses traditional Chinese medicine.
10. What concern does the author raise about the spread of TCM on social media?
A. Unclear herbal treatments. B. Unnecessary medical expense.
C. Overemphasis on quick advice. D. Loss of deeper cultural meaning.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To discuss TCM’s rising online popularity.
B. To describe how to use TCM practices.
C. To argue TCM is better than Western medicine.
D. To warn against online TCM health trends.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中医养生理念在社交媒体上迅速走红,成为年轻人追捧的日常健康习惯,但作者也指出其背后深厚的文化内涵可能被简化,并提醒人们理性看待。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Videos on platforms like TikTok and Instagram romanticize TCM practices. They show people boiling apples for better digestion, changing iced coffee to hot water, or wearing slippers indoors — small habits like these are presented as keys to a longer, healthier life. (TikTok和Instagram等平台上的视频将中医实践浪漫化。它们展示人们煮苹果以促进消化、把冰咖啡换成热水、或在室内穿拖鞋——像这样的小习惯被呈现为通往更长寿、更健康生活的钥匙。)”可知,社交媒体将中医实践包装成简单易行的日常健康小贴士。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Unlike Western medicine, which often treats symptoms (症状) one by one, TCM focuses on balance within the body. It uses ideas such as qi (vital energy), yin and yang, and the interaction between the body and its environment. The goal is to prevent illnesses and achieve a harmonious (和谐的) state, rather than simply reacting to illness.(与通常逐个治疗症状的西医不同,中医注重身体内部的平衡。它运用气、阴阳以及身体与环境相互作用等理念。其目标是预防疾病并实现和谐状态,而不是简单地对疾病做出反应。)”可知,中医与西医相比的一个关键特征是其追求内在的和谐。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“On social media, complex traditions are often simplified into bite-sized habits like “drink hot water” or “avoid cold foods”. When practices that developed over centuries are reduced to quick advice, the deep philosophical and cultural bases behind them can disappear. What remains is a simplified version of a much richer system of knowledge. (在社交媒体上,复杂的传统经常被简化成像“喝热水”或“避免生冷食物”这样的碎片化习惯。当发展了几个世纪的做法被缩减为快速建议时,它们背后深厚的哲学和文化基础可能会消失。剩下的只是一个更丰富知识体系被简化了的版本。)”可知,作者担忧中医在社交媒体上的传播会导致其深层文化意义的丧失。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段“But recently, it has found a new stage: social media. From the well-known gua sha tools to the practice of drinking hot water, TCM-inspired habits are becoming popular in health routines around the world. (但最近,它找到了一个新舞台:社交媒体。从著名的刮痧工具到喝热水的做法,受中医启发的生活习惯正在世界各地的健康日常中变得流行。)”以及最后一段“Despite these debates, the popularity of Chinese wellness reflects a real search for balance in today’s fast-paced world. (尽管存在这些争议,中医养生的流行反映了在当今快节奏的世界中对平衡的真实追求。)”可知,文章主要讨论了中医在社交媒体上日益走红的现象,并分析了其背后的原因及引发的担忧,整体旨在讨论中医在网络上日益流行的现象。

All the time you spent memorizing multiplication tables (乘法表) may have made you a better mathematician (数学家), according to a new study. A team of scientists from Stanford University, in California, has shown how the brain reorganizes itself as kids learn maths.
After a certain amount of time spent practising maths, kids can put away the calculator (计算器). They don’t even need to count on their fingers. They simply know the answers to subtraction (−), addition (+), and multiplication (×) facts. The quicker kids can recall basic maths facts, the easier it is for them to solve more difficult maths problems.
The Stanford University researchers observed (观察) the brain activity of 28 students, ages 7 to 9, for the study. They took scans of the students’ brains as the students solved maths calculations without the help of a calculator, pen or paper. A calculation — three plus four equals seven, for example — flashed on a screen. The students pushed a button to say if the answer was right or wrong. The scientists also recorded the response speed, and what parts of the brain became active as the kids pushed the button.
These observations showed a process called fact retrieval. Rather than using their fingers to count, or scrawling out equations (列算式) on a piece of paper, the students pulled the answers from memory. It’s as if the answers to basic subtraction, addition, and multiplication problems are kept in a long-term storage part in the brain. The storage part was built from repetition. “Experience really does matter,” said Dr Kathy Mann Koepeke of the National Institutes of Health.
Children make the change from counting to fact retrieval when they are 8 to 9 years old, the study says. This is the time when most students are learning basic addition and subtraction. When kids have basic maths facts memorized, the brain has more free space to learn more difficult maths.
This process has benefits for the future. The study showed, as kids got older, their answers relied more on memory and became quicker and more correct. Less brain activity was involved in counting. Some children make this change quicker than others.
Scientists hope to use this research to develop new strategies to help kids learn maths at all levels. One strategy the study suggests is for students to test themselves in different orders-solving five times three before five times two, for example. Mixing up the order keeps the brain active. Keep up the training, and you may be a maths whiz in no time.
12. In the study, kids put away calculators because they can ________.
A. use calculators well B. scrawl out equations
C. recall basic maths facts D. count on their fingers
13. The process of “fact retrieval” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. picking out results by working together with their partners
B. finding out answers based on practising carefully and patiently
C. trying out ways of dealing with problems by attending training
D. working out problems according to what they have remembered
14. What can we know from the study?
A. Kids need to practice using calculators to keep their brains active.
B. Maths learners should change to counting practice at the age of 8 to 9
C. Training by mixing up the order of multiplication tables helps learn maths better.
D. Less brain activity was involved in solving difficult problems when kids get older.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Maths from Memory B. Strategy Development
C. Brain Reorganization D. Training by Repetition
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述一项新研究,孩子熟记基础数学知识依靠记忆提取,利于学习更难的数学。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The quicker kids can recall basic maths facts, the easier it is for them to solve more difficult maths problems.(孩子越快回忆起基础数学知识,就越容易解决更难的数学题)”可知,孩子们收起计算器是因为他们已经能够直接回忆起基本的数学事实。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Rather than using their fingers to count, or scrawling out equations (列算式) on a piece of paper, the students pulled the answers from memory. It’s as if the answers to basic subtraction, addition, and multiplication problems are kept in a long-term storage part in the brain.(学生不再用手指计数,也不在纸上列算式,而是从记忆中提取答案。基础加减乘题目的答案仿佛储存在大脑的长期记忆存储区域里)”可知,“fact retrieval”指的是依靠自己记住的内容来算出问题答案。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Mixing up the order keeps the brain active. Keep up the training, and you may be a maths whiz in no time.(打乱顺序能让大脑保持活跃,坚持训练,你很快就能成为数学能手)”可知,打乱乘法表的顺序进行训练能帮助更好地学习数学。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“All the time you spent memorizing multiplication tables (乘法表) may have made you a better mathematician (数学家), according to a new study.(根据一项新研究,你花在记忆乘法表上的所有时间也许让你成为了更好的数学家)”以及第四段中“Rather than using their fingers to count, or scrawling out equations (列算式) on a piece of paper, the students pulled the answers from memory.(学生们没有用手指数数,也没有在纸上列算式,而是从记忆中直接调取答案)”可知,全文围绕数学事实的记忆与提取展开,因此最佳标题为“熟记于心的数学”。

【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍汉代的灯具,重点讲解雁鱼铜灯的造型构造与精巧设计。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:汉代灯具有着多种多样的造型,装饰有雁足、朱雀、牛、羊等纹样。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Lamps from the Han Dynasty,指物,从句缺少主语,所以用关系代词which。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:一个令人印象深刻的实例就是彩绘雁鱼铜灯,一件拥有两千年历史的艺术品,展现了一只回首伫立的大雁。此处修饰名词example,需要使用形容词,impress是动词,形容词形式为impressive,意为“印象深刻的”。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:一个令人印象深刻的实例就是彩绘雁鱼铜灯,一件拥有两千年历史的艺术品,展现了一只回首伫立的大雁。art piece为可数名词单数,此处表示“一件拥有两千年历史的艺术品”,为泛指,且2,000‑year‑old是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:整盏灯由四个部分组成,具体来说就是衔鱼的雁头与长颈、雁身、灯盘以及灯罩。此处作状语,用来对前面内容进行补充说明,需要使用副词,specific是形容词,副词形式为specifically,意为“具体地”。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:大雁体态丰满,身体两侧长有双翅,尾巴短而上翘,还有两只脚。both表示两者,后面接可数名词复数,side的复数形式是sides。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:灯盘和灯罩可以转动开合,这不仅用作挡风板,还能够调节灯光亮度。此处为固定搭配serve as,意为“充当;用作”。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:鱼身、雁颈以及雁身内部中空并且相互连通,用来容纳烟尘。此处用动词不定式作目的状语,表示中空连通结构的用途,所以此处为to hold。
【43题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:所有部件都可以拆卸开来进行清理。此空位于情态动词can之后,且主语All parts和动词take apart之间是被动关系,所以此处为含有情态动词的被动语态,结构为“can be+过去分词”,所以此处为be taken。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:这一巧妙的设计让它实现了功能与造型的完美统一,成为一件珍贵的艺术瑰宝。此处代词指代前文提到的the “Painted Bronze Lamp in the Shape of Goose Carrying Fish”,在句中作宾语,所以用为代词it。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这件精美的文物于1985年在山西朔州出土,高53厘米,长34.5厘米。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰This splendid piece,unearth和逻辑主语之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词unearthed。

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。
Anthony was a fifth-grade student in the Albany Elementary School which had a rich history and a good reputation across the state, thanks to its devotion to providing high-quality education and shaping generations of Albany’s children.
Frankly speaking, Anthony was neither the brightest student, nor the most athletic in the school, but he had a real enthusiasm for learning and always approached his studies with strong curiosity. Every morning, he would greet the school day with a wide and genuine smile that brightened the entire classroom. His classmates couldn’t help but be influenced by his optimistic attitude towards life, which helped him become very popular and also form many friendships at school.
One unexpected day, the teacher announced a surprise test. It was a subject that Anthony had struggled with. Even more unfortunately, he was not fully prepared. As the papers were handed out, Anthony’s heart sank, and his mind went blank, with a wave of anxiety and nervousness flooding over him. He looked around, hoping for some comfort and encouragement, but all he saw were the focused expressions of his classmates. The silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the occasional sound of turning papers.
As he began to write, Anthony realized that he knew only a fraction (小部分) of the answers. His mind raced, trying to recall anything that might help him, but in vain (徒劳的). Obviously, he was lost.
Just then, a piece of paper flew across the room and landed on Anthony’s desk.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para. 1 It was a note from one of his friends, offering him the answers.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2 With a deep breath, Anthony picked up the note and slowly tore it into pieces.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para. 1
It was a note from one of his friends, offering him the answers. Anthony recognized the handwriting instantly — it was from his best friend, Mike. His heart pounded as he stared at the neatly written solutions. A part of him longed to copy them and avoid embarrassment, but memories of his teacher emphasizing honesty flashed through his mind. He glanced at Mike, who gave him an encouraging nod. However, Anthony recalled how his parents always told him that true success came from hard work, not shortcuts. The conflict within him grew fiercer.
Para. 2
With a deep breath, Anthony picked up the note and slowly tore it into pieces. He raised his hand and quietly informed the teacher about the incident. Though his voice trembled, he felt a wave of relief. To his surprise, the teacher praised his integrity and allowed him extra time to complete the test. Anthony answered the remaining questions calmly, doing his best. When the results came out, he scored lower than usual but earned everyone’s respect. That day, he learned that courage and honesty were far more valuable than perfect grades.
