Feel like a family day trip outside London? Here are some of the best choices.
Harry Potter Studio
The Harry Potter Studio tour is one of the easiest day trips from London. Just read the directions on the website where you buy tickets and follow the crowds from the train to the bus. It is a unique experience. A walk through the studio allows families to appreciate every little detail that was put into the production of the Harry Potter movies from the costumes to the sets. Visitors can view the Potions Classroom, board the Hogwarts’ Express, and walk through the Dursley’s house.
Leeds Castle
Leeds Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in the UK. It is surrounded by a river and gardens, making it a relaxing and peaceful place. Leeds Castle is open for self-guided tours, and there are kid-friendly shows. Leeds Castle has a wonderfully-designed maze (迷宫), which has a surprise at the center that will appeal to all ages, not just children looking for a place to play. Leeds Castle also has a big playground, one part of which is set aside for small kids while the other inspires teenagers in an old game of hide-and-seek.
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle is used by the current British royal family. This makes it the longest-occupied palace in Europe. Afraid that your young children might feel dull? Don’t worry. There is a kids’ audio tour available as well as an activity that features crafts (手工艺), coloring and dress-up for little ones. And in the summer months, parents will be happy to know that there is a place to get an ice cream for their kids centrally located in the castle complex (建筑群).
1. What can visitors do on the Harry Potter Studio tour?
A. Buy some costumes.
B. Ride on a special train.
C. See Harry Potter movies.
D. Study in the Potions Classroom.
2. What can we learn about Leeds Castle?
A. Visitors must go on a tour with a guide.
B. The gardens are meant for hide-and-seek.
C. Kids can have a fun time on the playground.

C. Adventurous. D. Interesting.
B
They say that the truth comes out of the children’s mouth, and that truth is sometimes more upsetting than we realize. Jen Adams Beason, a 2nd-grade teacher from Louisiana, witnessed this when she asked her students to write about an invention that they didn’t like, or an invention that they wish would have never seen the light of day.
Jen has 21 students, and she was absolutely heartbroken when she noticed that four of her students shared the same invention: the smartphone. With dozens of notifications (通知) from apps, emails, and social media updates, it could be hard not to look at your phone for longer than five minutes.
Jen shared a boy’s essay on her Facebook page. “I hate my mom’s phone and I wish she never had one. That is an invention that I don’t like.” The essay is even accompanied by a sad and angry face saying “I hate it,” looking at a drawn phone with a cross through it.
“I had my 2nd graders write about an invention that they wish had never been created. Out of 21 students, 4 of them wrote about this topic. # getoffyourphone # listentoyourkids,” Jen posted on her Facebook wall.
Her message was seen by millions and even shared 300,000 times. It received dozens of eye-opening comments. “That is so sad. Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more,” Tracy Jenkins posted.
Luckily, it seems that awareness about smartphone addiction is increasing. Both iPhones and smartphones running on a recent Android operating system will soon include features to monitor, control and restrict your personal smartphone use for your own health.
Still, it’s interesting to see that parents’ concerns about their children becoming addicted to smartphones and other smart devices, are also perfectly true the other way around.
4. What did Jen find through the writing task?
A. Parents’ overuse of their phones.
B. Parents’ dislike for their children.
C. Children’s resistance to social media.
D. Children’s poor performance in writing.
5. The boy included a picture in his essay to show _________.
A. his great drawing skills
B. his desire for a smartphone
C. his strong negative emotions
D. his insight into online interaction
6. How did Tracy Jenkins feel after reading Jen’s post?
A. Guilty. B. Helpless.
C. Embarrassed. D. Confused.
7. What is the author trying to do in the last paragraph?
A. Draw a conclusion.
B. Provide evidence.
C. Put forward a proposal.
D. Call for reflection.
C
Research from King’s College London has shown that visiting an art gallery and looking at artwork can lower stress and may even improve your body’s natural defences.
To explore the physical effects of viewing art, scientists invited 50 UK volunteers between 18 and 40 years old to take part. They were split into two groups. One group saw original masterpieces by artists such as Van Gogh and Gauguin in the Courtauld Gallery. The other group saw high-quality printed copies of the same paintings in a laboratory setting. Before and after looking at the art, each person gave a saliva (唾液) sample. During the 20-minute session, they also wore research watches that tracked their heart rate and skin temperature.
The findings were striking. For those viewing real art in the gallery, levels of the stress hormones (荷尔蒙) levels fell by 22%. In contrast, the lab group’s levels only dropped by 8%. Additionally, some chemicals in the body that rise with stress and can harm long-term health decreased significantly among gallery visitors — by about 30% and 28% for the two key types measured. There was almost no change in the lab group. This indicates that experiencing original art in person can calm the body’s stress systems more effectively.
“From a scientific perspective, the most exciting part is that art positively influenced three body systems at once: immunity (免疫力), hormones, and the nervous system,” said Dr. Tony Woods, the study’s lead author. “This is a unique result that truly surprised us.”
Although there is a long history that art has always been connected to feeling better emotionally, this study now offers solid evidence that it benefits physical health too. So if you’re looking for a healthy and relaxing activity this weekend, you might want to plan a trip to your local art museum.
8. Why did researchers set up two different viewing environments?
A. To attract more public attention.
B. To identify which art style is more relaxing.
C. To see if the setting changes art’s physical effect.
D. To compare the popularity of originals and copies.
9. What do the numbers 22% and 8% primarily indicate?
A. The stress reduction in different settings.
B. The improvement in art appreciation skills.
C. The time spent viewing different artworks.
D. The age difference between the two groups.
10. What surprised the researchers most according to Dr. Tony Woods?
A. The volunteers’ strong interest in classic art.
B. The immediate drop in the volunteers’ heart rates.
C. The big difference between gallery and lab results.
D. The impact of art on multiple body systems.
11. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. The general history of art therapy. B. The potential limitations of the study.
C. A comparison of emotional problems. D. A practical application of the finding.
D
For twenty years, the internet has been my second home while communicating science. Recently, I came across an image: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.” This image troubled me deeply. I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are stupid or evil — because it’s obviously untrue. But I often find myself quite lonely. I’m wondering if, perhaps, there are other folks out there who feel the same as I do.
We didn’t cause climate change through being stupid, but through being extremely smart. Our ancestors burned coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. We want to provide a good life for ourselves and our children. The results have been astonishing. In the U.S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under 1 percent, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved?
So much of that achievement has been based on the fossil fuels we’ve burned to generate it, whether coal, natural gas or oil. We’ve learned that this harms both the environment and people, and to our credit we aren’t always bad at addressing this. It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. Here’s where I feel hope: we have already done this, and we know it is possible.
I don’t want my son growing up thinking that his species is in some way evil. I want him thinking humans are problem solvers, and whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems, too. This is a pretty normal story for intelligent species.
12. How did the author feel seeing the picture online?
A. Disturbed. B. Ashamed. C. Frightened. D. Confused.
13. What is implied by mentioning Ben Franklin and Mark Twain?
A. The warning of the warming Earth. B. The progress in social development.
C. The praise for human modesty. D. The demand for greener energy.
14. Why does the author feel hopeful about humans?
A. We will make more policies. B. We have discovered more fossil fuels.
C. We highly value the role of the earth. D. We can restore damage to the environment.
15. What does the underlined word “story” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. The cycle of causing and tackling problems. B. The ability to create a bright future.
C. The evil nature of human beings. D. The positive attitude to life.
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读短文,从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。
Good news: your happiest years are still ahead of you. Science says so! Think you have already reached your top in life? We want to share some good news with you: ____16____
According to new research, we’re happiest at two points in our lives — not just one. Researchers at the London School of Economics and Political Science asked 23,000 German volunteers aged 17 to 85 to rate their life satisfaction. ____17____ And then, after five years’ time, they reported back on how they actually felt.
Their results? Anything but bad! ____18____ One’s satisfaction reaches higher levels during two ends of the study’s age range and moves up and down with middle age. Plus, the researchers noted the two most important years when happiness tops: ages 23 and 69.
____19____ In our early 20s, we’re energetic and excited about the changes that come along with young age: new careers, new places to travel, and new people to meet. By the time we reach our 60s and 70s, though, we have likely retired and can now find the time—not to mention the money—to book a flight to Hawaii at a moment’s notice.
Of course, that’s all the more reason to find easy ways to be happier without really trying, regardless of your age! ____20____ For example, you can take a walk or spend time with family. Just remember, now you have one more reason to look forward to getting older: an increase in happiness!
A. You might want to think again.
B. Your happiest years are still ahead.
C. If you think about it, that makes a lot of sense.
D. Experts recommend choosing small yet rewarding tasks.
E. Volunteers predicted how happy they would feel in five years.
F. The study found that happiness tends to follow a U-shaped line over a person’s lifetime.
G. Take things one step further with the 50 tiny changes that will make you a happier person.

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。
Leo was a quiet seventh-grade boy, falling far behind his classmates in rope skipping. So awkward was he that he often got zero jumps in tests. During every PE training, he would linger (徘徊) at the end of the line, head hanging low.
When it was his turn to jump, the rope always tripped his feet. Other students skipping quickly and neatly, Leo could hardly make a single steady jump, always ending up with zero. Overwhelmed by shame, he even intended to skip PE classes to escape embarrassment.
Observing Leo’s sadness, Mr. Hayes, the PE teacher, never blamed (责备) him or pushed him hard. One noon, as Leo was sitting alone on the playground, eyes red with frustration, the teacher walked over.
Handing him a rope for beginners, Mr. Hayes comforted him gently. “No rush. Every tiny attempt counts.” He promised to keep him company and practise with him during lunch breaks.
From then on, they trained every noon. Mr. Hayes demonstrated (示范) basic moves repeatedly while Leo learned patiently. Stumbling (绊脚) countless times and starting from zero again and again, he never gave up. His classmates cheered sincerely when he finally made a breakthrough and finished ten continuous jumps.
As weeks passed by, Leo achieved steady progress, able to skip thirty times in a row. With the school skipping competition approaching, each class needed three competitors. To Leo’s surprise, Mr. Hayes and all the classmates selected him.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Shocked, Leo headed for Mr. Hayes’s office.

Her message was seen by millions and even shared 300,000 times. It received dozens of eye-opening comments. “That is so sad. Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more,” Tracy Jenkins posted.
Luckily, it seems that awareness about smartphone addiction is increasing. Both iPhones and smartphones running on a recent Android operating system will soon include features to monitor, control and restrict your personal smartphone use for your own health.
Still, it’s interesting to see that parents’ concerns about their children becoming addicted to smartphones and other smart devices, are also perfectly true the other way around.

B. Parents’ dislike for their children.
C. Children’s resistance to social media.
D. Children’s poor performance in writing.

Research from King’s College London has shown that visiting an art gallery and looking at artwork can lower stress and may even improve your body’s natural defences.
To explore the physical effects of viewing art, scientists invited 50 UK volunteers between 18 and 40 years old to take part. They were split into two groups. One group saw original masterpieces by artists such as Van Gogh and Gauguin in the Courtauld Gallery. The other group saw high-quality printed copies of the same paintings in a laboratory setting. Before and after looking at the art, each person gave a saliva (唾液) sample. During the 20-minute session, they also wore research watches that tracked their heart rate and skin temperature.
The findings were striking. For those viewing real art in the gallery, levels of the stress hormones (荷尔蒙) levels fell by 22%. In contrast, the lab group’s levels only dropped by 8%. Additionally, some chemicals in the body that rise with stress and can harm long-term health decreased significantly among gallery visitors — by about 30% and 28% for the two key types measured. There was almost no change in the lab group. This indicates that experiencing original art in person can calm the body’s stress systems more effectively.
“From a scientific perspective, the most exciting part is that art positively influenced three body systems at once: immunity (免疫力), hormones, and the nervous system,” said Dr. Tony Woods, the study’s lead author. “This is a unique result that truly surprised us.”
Although there is a long history that art has always been connected to feeling better emotionally, this study now offers solid evidence that it benefits physical health too. So if you’re looking for a healthy and relaxing activity this weekend, you might want to plan a trip to your local art museum.
8. Why did researchers set up two different viewing environments?
A. To attract more public attention.
B. To identify which art style is more relaxing.
C. To see if the setting changes art’s physical effect.
D. To compare the popularity of originals and copies.
9. What do the numbers 22% and 8% primarily indicate?
A. The stress reduction in different settings.
B. The improvement in art appreciation skills.
C. The time spent viewing different artworks.
D. The age difference between the two groups.
10. What surprised the researchers most according to Dr. Tony Woods?
A. The volunteers’ strong interest in classic art.
B. The immediate drop in the volunteers’ heart rates.
C. The big difference between gallery and lab results.
D. The impact of art on multiple body systems.
11. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. The general history of art therapy. B. The potential limitations of the study.
C. A comparison of emotional problems. D. A practical application of the finding.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了伦敦国王学院的一项研究,该研究通过对比在画廊看原作和在实验室看复制品两种情境下志愿者的生理反应,发现参观艺术画廊和欣赏艺术品可以降低压力,甚至可能增强身体的自然防御能力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To explore the physical effects of viewing art, scientists invited 50 UK volunteers between 18 and 40 years old to take part. They were split into two groups. One group saw original masterpieces by artists such as Van Gogh and Gauguin in the Courtauld Gallery. The other group saw high-quality printed copies of the same paintings in a laboratory setting.(为了探索观看艺术品的生理效果,科学家们邀请了50名年龄在18岁至40岁之间的英国志愿者参加。他们被分成两组。一组在考陶尔德画廊看到了梵高和高更等艺术家的原作。另一组在实验室环境中看到了同样画作的高质量印刷品)”可知,研究人员设置两种不同的观看环境是为了看看环境是否改变了艺术对身体的生理影响。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“For those viewing real art in the gallery, levels of the stress hormones (荷尔蒙) levels fell by 22%. In contrast, the lab group’s levels only dropped by 8%”.(对于那些在画廊里观看真实艺术品的人来说,压力荷尔蒙水平下降了22%。相比之下,实验室组的水平只下降了8%)”可知,数字22%和8%主要表明的是不同环境下的压力减少情况。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“From a scientific perspective, the most exciting part is that art positively influenced three body systems at once: immunity, hormones, and the nervous system,” said Dr. Tony Woods, the study’s lead author. “This is a unique result that truly surprised us.”(该研究的主要作者托尼·伍兹博士说:“从科学的角度来看,最令人兴奋的是艺术同时对三个身体系统产生了积极影响:免疫系统、荷尔蒙系统和神经系统。这是一个真正让我们感到惊讶的独特结果”)”可知,最让研究人员惊讶的是艺术对多个身体系统的影响。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Although there is a long history that art has always been connected to feeling better emotionally, this study now offers solid evidence that it benefits physical health too. So if you’re looking for a healthy and relaxing activity this weekend, you might want to plan a trip to your local art museum.(尽管艺术与情绪改善之间的联系有着悠久的历史,但这项研究现在提供了确凿的证据,表明艺术也有益于身体健康。所以,如果你这个周末想找一项健康放松的活动,你可以考虑去当地的艺术博物馆)”可知,最后一段的重点是研究结果的实际应用。

For twenty years, the internet has been my second home while communicating science. Recently, I came across an image: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.” This image troubled me deeply. I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are stupid or evil — because it’s obviously untrue. But I often find myself quite lonely. I’m wondering if, perhaps, there are other folks out there who feel the same as I do.
We didn’t cause climate change through being stupid, but through being extremely smart. Our ancestors burned coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. We want to provide a good life for ourselves and our children. The results have been astonishing. In the U.S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under 1 percent, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved?
So much of that achievement has been based on the fossil fuels we’ve burned to generate it, whether coal, natural gas or oil. We’ve learned that this harms both the environment and people, and to our credit we aren’t always bad at addressing this. It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. Here’s where I feel hope: we have already done this, and we know it is possible.
I don’t want my son growing up thinking that his species is in some way evil. I want him thinking humans are problem solvers, and whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems, too. This is a pretty normal story for intelligent species.
12. How did the author feel seeing the picture online?
A. Disturbed. B. Ashamed. C. Frightened. D. Confused.
13. What is implied by mentioning Ben Franklin and Mark Twain?
A. The warning of the warming Earth. B. The progress in social development.
C. The praise for human modesty. D. The demand for greener energy.
14. Why does the author feel hopeful about humans?
A. We will make more policies. B. We have discovered more fossil fuels.
C. We highly value the role of the earth. D. We can restore damage to the environment.
15. What does the underlined word “story” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. The cycle of causing and tackling problems. B. The ability to create a bright future.
C. The evil nature of human beings. D. The positive attitude to life.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者结合自身在网络传播科学的经历,通过一张“哭泣的地球”图片引发了对气候变化的原因的思考,驳斥了“人类愚蠢或邪恶”的观点,指出人类在解决问题方面有着强大的能力,并希望儿子认识到人类是问题解决者,而非邪恶物种。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Recently, I came across an image: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.” This image troubled me deeply. (最近,我看到一张图片:地球在哭泣,周围是倒下的树木,上面写着:“没有哪个有智慧的物种会毁掉自己的家园。”这张图片让我深感不安。)”可知,作者看到网上的图片后感到不安,“disturbed”与原文“troubled”意思相符。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the U. S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under l percent, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved? (在1895年的美国,四分之一的人在五岁前死亡。如今,这一比例已降至1%以下,我们将继续努力,直到降至零。想象一下,本·富兰克林或马克·吐温会就这种程度的进步写些什么文章。如果他们看到我们所取得的成就,他们怎么会不感动得热泪盈眶呢?)”可知,作者提到本·富兰克林和马克·吐温是为了说明人类在社会发展方面取得的巨大进步。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. Here’s where I feel hope: we have already done this, and we know it is possible. (不久前,伦敦才净化了被烟雾熏黑的空气。当雨水变得酸性时,世界就会改变其政策。当危害在本地发生时,我们往往能很好地进行清理。这就是我感到希望的地方:我们已经做到过这一点,而且我们知道这是可能的。)”可知,作者感到有希望的原因是人类已有修复环境破坏的先例,即“我们能修复对环境的破坏”。故选D项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“I want him thinking humans are problem solvers, and whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems, too. This is a pretty normal story for intelligent species. (我希望他认为人类是问题解决者,无论我们采取什么策略来解决全球变暖问题,都会产生更多新的问题。对于智慧物种来说,这是一个相当正常的story)”可知,作者认为人类是问题解决者,在解决问题的过程中会不断产生新问题,然后又去解决新问题,这是一个不断循环的过程,所以“story”指的是“引发问题并解决问题的循环”。故选A项。

Good news: your happiest years are still ahead of you. Science says so! Think you have already reached your top in life? We want to share some good news with you: ____16____
According to new research, we’re happiest at two points in our lives — not just one. Researchers at the London School of Economics and Political Science asked 23,000 German volunteers aged 17 to 85 to rate their life satisfaction. ____17____ And then, after five years’ time, they reported back on how they actually felt.
Their results? Anything but bad! ____18____ One’s satisfaction reaches higher levels during two ends of the study’s age range and moves up and down with middle age. Plus, the researchers noted the two most important years when happiness tops: ages 23 and 69.
____19____ In our early 20s, we’re energetic and excited about the changes that come along with young age: new careers, new places to travel, and new people to meet. By the time we reach our 60s and 70s, though, we have likely retired and can now find the time—not to mention the money—to book a flight to Hawaii at a moment’s notice.
Of course, that’s all the more reason to find easy ways to be happier without really trying, regardless of your age! ____20____ For example, you can take a walk or spend time with family. Just remember, now you have one more reason to look forward to getting older: an increase in happiness!
A. You might want to think again.
B. Your happiest years are still ahead.
C. If you think about it, that makes a lot of sense.
D. Experts recommend choosing small yet rewarding tasks.
E. Volunteers predicted how happy they would feel in five years.
F. The study found that happiness tends to follow a U-shaped line over a person’s lifetime.
G. Take things one step further with the 50 tiny changes that will make you a happier person.

【答案】范文
Dear Mike,
I’m writing to express my disagreement with your plan to cancel the drama course next term.
Drama class is extremely valuable for us English learners. First, acting out plays improves our oral English and pronunciation greatly. Besides, it helps us better understand Western culture hidden in scripts. What’s more, putting on performances builds our confidence and teamwork skills, which no other class can offer. Without drama, we’ll lose a fun way to practice English.
I sincerely hope you can reconsider this decision.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

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。
Leo was a quiet seventh-grade boy, falling far behind his classmates in rope skipping. So awkward was he that he often got zero jumps in tests. During every PE training, he would linger (徘徊) at the end of the line, head hanging low.
When it was his turn to jump, the rope always tripped his feet. Other students skipping quickly and neatly, Leo could hardly make a single steady jump, always ending up with zero. Overwhelmed by shame, he even intended to skip PE classes to escape embarrassment.
Observing Leo’s sadness, Mr. Hayes, the PE teacher, never blamed (责备) him or pushed him hard. One noon, as Leo was sitting alone on the playground, eyes red with frustration, the teacher walked over.
Handing him a rope for beginners, Mr. Hayes comforted him gently. “No rush. Every tiny attempt counts.” He promised to keep him company and practise with him during lunch breaks.
From then on, they trained every noon. Mr. Hayes demonstrated (示范) basic moves repeatedly while Leo learned patiently. Stumbling (绊脚) countless times and starting from zero again and again, he never gave up. His classmates cheered sincerely when he finally made a breakthrough and finished ten continuous jumps.
As weeks passed by, Leo achieved steady progress, able to skip thirty times in a row. With the school skipping competition approaching, each class needed three competitors. To Leo’s surprise, Mr. Hayes and all the classmates selected him.
注意:

The day of the skipping competition arrived finally.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Shocked, Leo headed for Mr. Hayes’s office. He stood nervously in front of the teacher, doubting his ability to compete. Sensing his hesitation, Mr. Hayes smiled warmly and told Leo that progress mattered most. He said Leo’s persistent efforts and great improvement had impressed everyone deeply. Encouraged by the teacher’s sincere words, Leo finally plucked up his courage and decided to take the challenge. He made up his mind to train harder to live up to everyone’s trust.
The day of the skipping competition arrived finally. Standing on the playground with his classmates, Leo took a deep breath and calmed himself down. As the whistle blew, he swung the rope skillfully and jumped steadily. His movements were neat and fluent. The cheers from his classmates rang out constantly. Though he did not win the first prize, he finished the competition perfectly. Holding his head high, Leo wore a bright smile. He truly learned that constant effort and self-belief can turn weakness into strength.
