I grew up as an only child, enjoying free-range childhood adventures in nature. I would disappear into the forest, fascinated by the mysterious stories of animals around me. When I was about seven, I came across a little cat seriously injured by a board. The vet (兽医) examined her mouth and said, “She’s not going to make it.” I couldn’t understand how he knew that. That moment awakened my interest in understanding animals, and I decided to become a vet. I eventually earned a degree and spent over 25 years working as an environmental health scientist.
In 2017, concerns about antibiotic resistance (抗生素抗药性) led the US government to change laws, meaning beekeepers could no longer buy antibiotics over the counter; they now required a prescription (处方). This change inspired me to establish a veterinary practice specifically for bees — a unique field in the US.
As a bee vet, I assist beekeepers facing various issues in their hives (蜂箱). European foulbrood, a disease often detectable by its special sweet smell, is especially harmful to babies. The queen survives, but over weeks or months, the colony fails.
We’ve had terrible weather here. If bees are struggling to find food, it can put them at risk. Last February was really warm, and wild bees were coming out of hibernation (冬眠) only to find nothing for them to eat. This mismatch in timing is one of the leading risks to both honeybees and wild bees.
Honeybees are protected from some environmental pressures because we house them, we feed them, and we care for them. It is the wild bees that I’m extremely worried about — they depend on how well the environment is supporting them.
My first approach to learning this profession was books, but books can only take me so far. I feel like every bee is so precious now, especially early in the year. That is often when the wild bee queens are out and may be weak. Saving her can save a whole colony. So a lot is resting on that one bee: If I can help her, I will.
24．What inspired the author to become a vet
A．The experiences of raising pet cats.
B．The joy of exploring nature as a child.
C．The need for a vet specializing in bees.
D．The words of a vet about an injured cat.
25．Why did the author establish a veterinary practice for bees
A．The government banned antibiotics for bees.
B．Beekeepers needed prescriptions for antibiotics.
C．Bee diseases had become more difficult to treat.
D．Beekeeping had become more popular in the US.
26．According to the author, what is probably the deadliest threat to wild bees
A．The overuse of antibiotics.
B．The increased honey demands.
C．The abnormal weather patterns.
D．The competition from farmed bees.
27．What is the best title for the text
A．A Vet’s Journey to Saving Bees
B．A New Challenge for Beekeepers
C．The Hidden Dangers of Antibiotics
D．The Concerning Loss of Bee Population
It was a freezing winter’s day in London as customers crowded together at Blank Street, a coffee-shop chain. You might have expected them to pick up a warm cappuccino. Instead, many placed orders for iced matcha lattes (抹茶拿铁).
Such is the craze (狂热) for matcha that fans are willing to risk cold to get their hands on one. Blank Street claims that it sells some form of the green-tea-based drink “every four seconds” from its 80-odd shops in Britain and America. In Japan, one of the world’s leading producers of matcha, the export value of tea in 2023 rose by 33% from the previous year. The global market for matcha-based products is worth around $4.24 billion and it is predicted that the number will grow by around 53% by 2029.
Matcha is made from ground leaves of tea trees. Tea culture developed in China during the Tang Dynasty. Myoan Eisai, a Japanese monk, came across it while travelling there and wrote a book stressing green tea’s benefits. Matcha later spread through the upper class in Japan with the tea ceremony.
What explains the drink’s newfound popularity outside Asia Matcha fans promote it as an option superior to coffee as some studies suggest that green tea can help prevent heart disease and speed up metabolism (新陈代谢). It also gives a steady boost of energy, compared with the sudden increase and crash of a cup of coffee.
Gen Z — who drink less coffee than their elders, spend more time online and care about wellness — are seeking it out. The irony (有讽刺意味的情况) is that much of matcha’s growth in the West is driven by flavoured matcha lattes, which are filled with sugar. The future may not be all that sweet, however. Tea production in Japan is decreasing, as the area of land is being used for farming; farmers are retiring and are put off by rising prices for fertiliser (肥料) and other essentials. Lovers of the trendy iced drink may soon feel a chill when it comes to their bill.
28．What does paragraph 2 suggest about matcha
A．It has an unstable market.
B．It is a low-profit business.
C．It is mainly produced in Japan.
D．It is gaining global popularity.
29．What does the underlined part “superior to” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Less realistic than. B．Rarer than.
C．More economical than. D．Better than.
30．What is the irony about matcha
A．Its demand falls while sales figures rise.
B．Customers are fascinated by its bitter taste.
C．Health-seeking Gen Z choose sugary matcha lattes.
D．It’s exported from Asia but surprisingly cheap in the West.
31．What may be the future problem for matcha lovers
A．Matcha’s poor quality. B．Matcha’s rising prices.
C．Matcha’s fewer varieties. D．Matcha’s tasteless flavor.
“Generative AI has transformed education dramatically,” says senior study author Chin-Hsi Lin, an education technology researcher at the University of Hong Kong. Lin and his colleagues recruited postgraduate students from 14 regions who were studying in the U.K. and used AI in their work. The students were asked to come up with and explain a metaphor (隐喻) for the way generative AI impacted their academic writing.
By analyzing the responses, the researchers found four categories for how students were using and thinking about AI in their work. The most basic of these was the use of AI to check English grammar or format a reference list. Participants compared AI to aesthetic (美学的) enhancements such as makeup or high heels, or a mechanical tool such as a packaging machine or measuring tape.
In the next category, AI was more involved in the writing process itself. Some students used it to organize the logic of their writing; some equated it to Tesla’s Autopilot because it helped them stay on track.
In the third category, students used AI to more meaningfully transform their writing process and final product. Here, they called the technology a “bridge” or a “teacher” that could help them overcome cross-cultural boundaries in communication styles — especially important because academic writing is so often done in English.
In the fourth category, students’ metaphors highlighted the potential danger of AI. Some of the participants expressed discomfort with the way it enabled a lack of innovation or a lack of deeper understanding (like fast food, convenient but not nutritious). In this category, students most commonly considered it handy.
“Metaphors really matter, and they have shaped the public discourse (论述) for all kinds of new technologies,” says Emily Weinstein, a technology researcher. “The comparisons we use to talk about new technology can reveal our assumptions about how they work — and even our blind spots. There’s never only one right metaphor to talk about a new technology. When we try to assign just one metaphor to a new technology, we risk flattening it and overlooking both its benefits and dangers.”
32．What is the primary focus of the study conducted by Lin and his colleagues
A．The moral concerns about AI in education.
B．The role of AI in postgraduates’ academic writing.
C．The effectiveness of AI in writing academic papers.
D．The impact of AI on students’ creativity in research.
33．Which aspect of AI does the third category of metaphors emphasize
A．Its impact on narrowing cultural gaps.
B．Its method for enforcing language rules.
C．Its effect on simplifying technical language.
D．Its function of reducing academic workloads.
34．What concern is raised in the fourth category of metaphors
A．AI’s highly addictive feature.
B．AI’s high costs and inaccessibility.
C．AI’s lack of creativity and inspiration.
D．AI’s ineffectiveness in academic writing.
35．What is Weinstein’s attitude towards using a single metaphor for Al
A．Positive. B．Indifferent.
C．Unclear. D．Negative.
Talking comes naturally to most people in everyday life. 36 That’s different. Conversations are more than just words; they involve emotions, listening, and engagement. Without these, even the most talkative person can struggle to truly connect with others. Thankfully, the conversation is a skill you can learn and improve.Prepare for the conversation.
People who prepare themselves for the conversation say they experienced fewer awkward pauses (停顿). So in the moments before a conversation starts, ask yourself: 37 What is the thing you hope to say What is one question you will ask The benefit of this exercise is that, simply by preparing what you’ll discuss, you’re likely to feel more confident.Listen to understand.
Want to know how to talk to anyone without being awkward Don’t just wait your turn to talk. The key to better conversations is actively listening, paying attention to both the content of what the person is saying and how they are saying it. 38 Show warmth with a smile.
39 It helps people feel welcomed and at ease (处在). However, not everyone smiles often. Some people may just have an angry face, and that isn’t a character flaw (缺陷). For these people, it’s even more important to remember to smile and keep open body language, especially important when meeting someone new. 40
Creating a natural give-and-take will make the conversation continue smoothly. This is particularly true when you talk about feelings. You don’t have to share anything you’re not comfortable with, but if someone says they are struggling with their work, sharing a struggle or two with your own can create a deeper connection.
A．Find ways to agree.
B．Give and take equally.
C．But really communicating
D．What is the topic you might discuss
E．A warm smile means “I am so happy to see you”.
F．That’s why you should learn how to focus and give your full attention.
G．How do you avoid awkward silence to make conversations more natural

With improved storytelling, advanced visual effects, and an integration (集成) of traditional Chinese culture, Chinese animation (动画制作) is rapidly gaining recognition at home and abroad.
A recent survey 56 (conduct) by China Youth Daily among 7,232 university students showed that 40.64 percent actively follow popular domestic animation films (国内动画电影) and series, while 30.35 percent check for new 57 (launch) on a weekly basis.

六、书面表达
67．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。
It was a hot summer night in the town of Riverton, the kind of night where the air felt thick and heavy even without the rising smoke. Firefighter Tom Walsh and his team raced down Maple Street in their truck through the quiet town. Tom’s mind was focused on the fire ahead. As a firefighter for fifteen years, Tom was known not just for his courage, but for his soft spot for animals. He had rescued cats from storms, a bird from a collapsed (倒塌的) roof, and once even an escaped horse from the highway. But tonight’s fire was different.
As they arrived, the fire was burning the two-story house, painting the sky in shades of orange and black. On the front lawn stood a family — two parents and their teenage children, all in pajamas (睡衣). The mother held her son’s arm, tears falling down her cheeks. The father took a step toward Tom, and his face was lighted by the glow of the fire.
“Please!” he said, pointing toward a side window. “Our dog Buster is trapped inside! He’s deaf—he couldn’t hear us call for him!”
Through the glass, Tom spotted movement. It was a golden retriever (金毛寻回犬), whose eyes widened with fear. Tom’s chest tightened. He knew that fear all too well. Years ago, he had lost his dog Max in a fire that had consumed his family’s old barn (谷仓). He could still remember the helplessness of knowing he couldn’t reach him in time. Not again, he thought.
Captain Reyes shouted at Tom, pulling his attention back to the moment. “Focus on the fire! The roof could collapse any minute!”
Tom hesitated. He understood the risk. But he quickly made up his mind. He wasn’t leaving without Buster. He ran around the back of the house. Smoke poured out of the kitchen door, filling the air with a heavy fog. Tom raised his boot and kicked the door hard. Then the door opened, and the light from the fire inside lit up the walls.
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。
Heat enveloped him as he dropped low to the ground, crawling (爬行) beneath the thickening smoke.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing Tom and Buster, the family rushed forward.

M: OK. I’ll have a chicken burger.
2．C
【原文】M: Did you like the activities you did on the school trip
W: Yes, but I’m not sure I’ll do water skiing again as I fell into the water many times. The horse riding was really nice, though, but I still don’t think it was as good as going up the climbing wall.
3．C
【原文】W: Hello, the front desk. How can I help you
M: Hi! I booked a room with a sea view. I’m in my room now. I’m happy with the size and I suppose it’s not too expensive. However, I’m looking out of the window and there isn’t a view of the sea.
4．A
【原文】W: So, Matt, how was your summer Did you work in the cafe with your parents, like last year
M: No, I worked with my granddad. I got up at five every morning and fed the chickens. Then I picked strawberries in the fields all day.
5．B
【原文】W: Did you stay with your aunt again at the weekend
M: Yes. I always have such a good time there. She’s an expert at making me laugh. I’m not sure how she makes all the things that have happened to her sound so interesting.
6．B 7．C
【原文】M: What did you think of it
W: Well, I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. The story was clever. You never knew what was going to happen next. The characters were well-developed and the actors gave excellent performances.
M: I’m so happy that for once you liked my choice. Now it’s your turn. You can decide where we’re going to eat.
W: There’s a place that only opened a couple of weeks ago. It’s just around the corner. Let’s go there. It’s got food I like.
8．A 9．C 10．B
【原文】M: The boss wants me to change the setting of our office before the president’s visit next month. He wants me to make the best use of the space here. I am not very good at this, so I need your advice. Can you spare some time to discuss it
W: Well, I am kind of busy today. Let me see… this Thursday or next Monday is good for me. What about you
M: I actually have to go on a business trip for a week starting this Friday. I think we’d better get together before I leave. Is that okay with you
W: That will be fine as long as it’s in the morning. I have to leave early to go to the dentist in the afternoon.
11．A 12．B 13．A
【原文】W: Beautiful weather for this time of year, isn’t it We don’t usually get warm sunshine in late autumn.
M: I know. It’s been lovely the last few days, but I hear a change is on the way! The weather reports show that there’s a chance of snow tomorrow. I’d better check the heating system. We didn’t use it for a few months.
W: I’ll do the same. We also need to bring in the plants from our gardens that might get damaged by the snow.
M: I haven’t thought of that. I’ve got a lot of pots, so I’d better make a start early.
W: I can pop in and help you this afternoon if you want. I live just across the street from you, after all!
M: That’s very kind of you. Don’t forget to wear your coat!
14．A 15．C 16．A 17．B
【原文】W: Do you think we should change the title of our talk on the dangers of plastic Not all plastic is dangerous, after all.
M: Perhaps we should change it to: The dangers of single-use plastic. That narrows it down a bit.
W: Good idea. Let’s go through the slides again and then decide how many slides we’ll have.
M: OK. We’re going to have a slide for each of the nine key reasons that show why we should stop depending on single-use plastic in our daily lives.
W: Yes, and we also need a summary slide and another one to say thank you and give our contact details at the end, so we must add two more.
M: OK. The next important issue is the order we put the reasons in. Should we start with the least dangerous and finish with the most dangerous
W: It’s really difficult to decide which is the most and least dangerous. Why not focus on the ones where people use plastic and then move on to how these actions damage the environment
M: That sounds good. We still need to get some pictures of animals in oceans that are in danger from plastic pollution.
W: Don’t worry. I’ll do that.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从儿时因一只受伤的小猫萌生成为兽医的想法，到后来因政策变化而专门为蜜蜂建立兽医诊所的经历，以及作者对蜜蜂尤其是野生蜜蜂生存状况的担忧和救助行动。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I was about seven, I came across a little cat seriously injured by a board. The vet (兽医) examined her mouth and said, “She’s not going to make it.” I couldn’t understand how he knew that. That moment awakened my interest in understanding animals, and I decided to become a vet. (在我大约七岁的时候，我遇到了一只被木板严重弄伤的小猫。兽医检查了她的嘴，然后说：“她撑不下去了。”我不明白他是怎么知道的。那一刻唤起了我想要了解动物的兴趣，于是我决定成为一名兽医。)”可知，是兽医关于受伤小猫的话让作者决定成为一名兽医。故选D项。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2017, concerns about antibiotic resistance (抗生素抗药性) led the US government to change laws, meaning beekeepers could no longer buy antibiotics over the counter; they now required a prescription (处方). This change inspired me to establish a veterinary practice specifically for bees — a unique field in the US. (2017年，对抗生素耐药性的担忧促使美国政府修改了法律，这意味着养蜂人不能再在柜台上购买抗生素；他们现在需要处方。这一变化启发我专门为蜜蜂建立了一个兽医诊所 —— 这是美国一个独特的领域。)”可知，作者建立蜜蜂兽医诊所是因为养蜂人需要抗生素处方。故选B项。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Last February was really warm, and wild bees were coming out of hibernation (冬眠) only to find nothing for them to eat. This mismatch in timing is one of the leading risks to both honeybees and wild bees. (去年二月天气非常暖和，野生蜜蜂结束冬眠出来，却发现没有东西可吃。这种时间上的不匹配是对蜜蜂和野生蜂的主要威胁之一。)”以及第五段中“It is the wild bees that I’m extremely worried about — they depend on how well the environment is supporting them. (我特别担心的是野生蜜蜂 —— 它们依赖于环境对它们的支持程度。)”可推知，作者认为异常的天气模式可能是野生蜜蜂面临的最致命威胁。故选C项。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“That moment awakened my interest in understanding animals, and I decided to become a vet. (那一刻唤醒了我对了解动物的兴趣，我决定成为一名兽医。)”以及第二段中“This change inspired me to establish a veterinary practice specifically for bees — a unique field in the US. (这一变化启发我专门为蜜蜂建立了一个兽医诊所 —— 这是美国一个独特的领域。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者从儿时因一只受伤的小猫萌生成为兽医的想法，到后来因政策变化而专门为蜜蜂建立兽医诊所的经历，以及作者对蜜蜂尤其是野生蜜蜂生存状况的担忧和救助行动，A项“A Vet’s Journey to Saving Bees (一位兽医拯救蜜蜂的历程)”符合文章主旨，适宜作为标题。故选A项。
28．D 29．D 30．C 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是抹茶在全球范围内、尤其是欧美地区迅速走红的现象，分析了其流行原因，并探讨了这一趋势面临的挑战与未来走向。
28．推理判断题。根据第二段“Blank Street claims that it sells some form of the green-tea-based drink “every four seconds” from its 80-odd shops in Britain and America. In Japan, one of the world’s leading producers of matcha, the export value of tea in 2023 rose by 33% from the previous year. The global market for matcha-based products is worth around $4.24 billion and it is predicted that the number will grow by around 53% by 2029. (Blank Street宣称，其在英美两国的80多家门店中，“每四秒”就能售出一款绿茶基饮品。在日本——全球抹茶主要生产国之一，2023年茶叶出口额较前一年增长了33%。全球抹茶产品市场规模约为42.4亿美元，预计到2029年将增长约53%。)”可知，关于抹茶，第二段暗示了它在全球越来越受欢迎。故选D。
29．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“as some studies suggest that green tea can help prevent heart disease and speed up metabolism (新陈代谢). It also gives a steady boost of energy, compared with the sudden increase and crash of a cup of coffee. (因为一些研究表明，绿茶有助于预防心脏病、加速新陈代谢。与咖啡带来的能量骤增骤降不同，抹茶能提供持续稳定的能量提升。)”可知，一些研究表明，绿茶可以帮助预防心脏病并加速新陈代谢。与喝一杯咖啡后带来的能量陡然上升和下降不同，抹茶能持续稳定地提升人的精力。由此可推知，抹茶爱好者认为抹茶是一种比咖啡更好的选择。画线短语意为“更好的”，和Better than意思相近，故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Gen Z — who drink less coffee than their elders, spend more time online and care about wellness—are seeking it out. The irony (有讽刺意味的情况) is that much of matcha’s growth in the West is driven by flavoured matcha lattes, which are filled with sugar. (Z世代（这一群体咖啡饮用量少于年长者，上网时间更长，且更注重健康养生）正热衷于寻找抹茶饮品。颇具讽刺意味的是，抹茶在西方市场的增长，很大程度上是由含糖量极高的风味抹茶拿铁推动的。)”可知，讽刺之处在于追求健康的Z世代选择的却是含糖量很高的抹茶拿铁，故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Tea production in Japan is decreasing, as the area of land is being used for farming; farmers are retiring and are put off by rising prices for fertiliser (肥料) and other essentials. Lovers of the trendy iced drink may soon feel a chill when it comes to their bill. (由于农田被用于其他耕种，日本茶叶产量正在下降；农民纷纷退休，且化肥等必需品价格上涨让他们望而却步。对于这种时髦的冰饮爱好者来说，未来结账时或许会感到一阵寒意。)”可知，未来抹茶的价格可能会大幅上涨，故选B。
32．B 33．A 34．C 35．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲香港大学研究发现研究生用四类隐喻看待生成式 AI 对学术写作的影响，涵盖工具性到潜在风险。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“The students were asked to come up with and explain a metaphor (隐喻) for the way generative AI impacted their academic writing. (学生们被要求为生成式 AI 对其学术写作的影响想出并解释一个隐喻。)”可知，研究的核心是AI在研究生学术写作中的角色。故选B项。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段“Here, they called the technology a ‘bridge’ or a ‘teacher’ that could help them overcome cross-cultural boundaries in communication styles — especially important because academic writing is so often done in English. (在这里，他们称该技术为‘桥梁’或‘老师’，可以帮助他们克服沟通风格中的跨文化边界——尤其重要，因为学术写作经常用英语完成。)”可知，第三类隐喻强调 AI 在缩小文化差距方面的作用。故选A项。
34．细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“Some of the participants expressed discomfort with the way it enabled a lack of innovation or a lack of deeper understanding (like fast food, convenient but not nutritious). (一些参与者对其导致缺乏创新或缺乏深入理解的方式表示不满（如快餐，方便但无营养）。)”可知，第四类隐喻关注AI导致的创造力和灵感缺失。故选C项。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段Weinstein的表述“When we try to assign just one metaphor to a new technology, we risk flattening it and overlooking both its benefits and dangers. (当我们试图为一项新技术仅赋予一个隐喻时，就有可能简化它并忽视其利弊。)”可推知，Weinstein对单一隐喻持否定态度。故选D项。

36．上文“Talking comes naturally to most people in everyday life.(在日常生活中，对大多数人来说，交谈是自然而然的事)”说明交谈对大多数人来说不难。下文“That’s different. Conversations are more than just words; they involve emotions, listening, and engagement. Without these, even the most talkative person can struggle to truly connect with others.(那是不同的。对话不仅仅是言语；它们涉及情感、倾听和参与。没有这些，即使是最健谈的人也很难真正与他人建立联系)”通过对比引出“对话”这一概念，强调其与单纯“说话”的区别。空处和前文为转折过渡的关系，连接“交谈”与“对话（真正的交流）”。所以C项“但真正的交流呢？”符合语境。C项中的“really communicating”与上文“Talking”形成对比，且引出下文关于真正交流的讨论。故选C。

38．上文“The key to better conversations is actively listening, paying attention to both the content of what the person is saying and how they are saying it.(更好的对话的关键是积极倾听，注意对方说话的内容和方式)”说明积极倾听和关注说话内容和方式很重要，空处应是对此的进一步说明。所以F项“这就是为什么你应该学会如何集中注意力。”符合语境。F项中的“That’s why”承接上文，解释了为什么要积极倾听和关注，故选F。
39．标题“Show warmth with a smile.(用微笑表达温暖)”说明本段主题为微笑能表达温暖。下文“It helps people feel welcomed and at ease (处在). However, not everyone smiles often. Some people may just have an angry face, and that isn’t a character flaw (缺陷).(它帮助人们感到受欢迎和放松)”说明微笑的作用。空处需具体解释微笑的含义或作用，引出后文。所以E项“温暖的微笑意味着“见到你我很高兴”。”符合语境。E项具体解释了微笑所表达的含义，与上文“Show warmth with a smile”相呼应，而下文中的It指代该项中的“A warm smile”。故选E。
40．下文“Creating a natural give-and-take will make the conversation continue smoothly.(创造一个自然的给予和接受会让对话顺利进行)”说明对话中要给予和接受，空处应是本段的小标题，概括本段内容。所以B项“平等地给予和接受。”符合语境。B项概括了本段关于对话中要平等地给予和接受的主旨，且与下文“Creating a natural give-and-take”相呼应，故选B。

67．Heat enveloped him as he dropped low to the ground, crawling beneath the thickening smoke. “Here, boy!” Tom called, but then he remembered Buster couldn’t hear. Near the fridge, the golden retriever lay still, with shallow breaths. Tom moved forward, wrapping Buster in his jacket. “I got you,” he whispered. As he turned, a burning wood fell behind him. His oxygen supply was running out. Outside, the family was anxiously waiting. The team had already pulled back in consideration of safety. Then, Tom burst through the window, rolling onto the grass with Buster safe in his arms.
Seeing Tom and Buster, the family rushed forward. “You saved him! He’s really important to us,” the teenage girl said to Tom. Tom brushed a hand over Buster’s fur. “He’s gonna be okay,” Tom promised. As the dog breathed weakly, Tom insisted that Buster should be checked first. Knowing Buster was safe, the people’s concern was slowly replaced by hope. Later, as news reporters gathered, they called Tom a hero, but he just said, “Anyone would have done it.” That night, at the firehouse, a text lit up his phone. It was a photo of Buster, sleeping peacefully.
