John Arrillaga Sr, the pioneering Silicon Valley developer, was one of Stanford’s greatest benefactors (捐助者), leaving a legacy literally built into every corner of campus.
Over decades, Arrillaga’s generous donations and hands-on efforts reshaped Stanford’s campus. Though best known for athletic facilities, his true impact extended far beyond. As his longtime friend John Etchemendy noted, “Hundreds of projects bear his mark, yet rarely his name.” Nowhere was this quiet dedication clearer than in the reconstruction of Stanford Stadium. He personally funded and oversaw every detail — from selecting palm trees to designing seats to mapping walkways — yet refused to put his name on it.
Born into a working-class family, young Arrillaga couldn’t afford a proper suit for his high school graduation, having to borrow an ill-fitting jacket with sleeves that barely reached his wrists. He unexpectedly attended Stanford on a basketball scholarship, working multiple campus jobs to make ends meet. After playing professionally in Spain, he returned to develop Silicon Valley offices during the tech boom, becoming a billionaire. True to his humble beginnings, he started repaying Stanford almost immediately after graduation — beginning with modest athletic department gifts that grew into historic donations exceeding $250 million. Through his scholarship programs, he’s helped over 300 students facing similar financial challenges.
One day, a young donor moved by Arrillaga’s generosity shared how witnessing the selfless giving had profoundly shaped his devotion to charitable work. Realizing the ripple (涟漪) effect of his actions through others, Arrillaga months later made a rare exception: he permitted his name to appear on just one building — not for personal distinction, but as a nod to the power of leading by example.
While his benefaction helped communities across Silicon Valley through donations to police stations, libraries, and other public spaces, his strongest ties always remained with Stanford University.
24. What was Arrillaga’s key role in the stadium reconstruction
A. A landscape designer.
B. A stadium co-investor.
C. A full-project supporter.
D. A building material producer.
25. What motivated Arrillaga’s lifelong commitment to Stanford
A. The fate-changing scholarship.
B. The desire for public recognition.
C. The billionaire lifestyle experience.
D. The business investment strategies.
26. Why did Arrillaga finally allow his name to appear on one building
A. To accept praise from the public.
B. To inspire more charitable actions.
C. To fulfill a request from his university.
D. To show the ripple effect of athletics.
27. What does Arrillaga’s experience show
A. Wealth necessitates public display.
B. Athletic excellence drives social change.
C. Humble beginnings can lead to fortunes.
D. Silent impact outweighs visible recognition.

Growing cucumbers on the moon might sound like science fiction, but for thousands of Australian students aged seven to ten, that future is now. They are pioneering the ALEPH Project, a groundbreaking world-first mission to establish the first lunar garden by 2026.
Far from being passive observers, these young scientists are the vital engine of the project. They roll up their sleeves to tackle the core objective — figuring out what can actually grow on the moon — through hands-on experimentation. By designing specialized seed delivery systems and uploading findings to a national database, they equip scientists with real-world data for critical decision-making. This Stile Education and Lunaria One partnership has already yielded remarkable results, with over 440 student-led experiments and 200 teams’ data pushing the mission ahead.
Yet the universe isn’t making it easy for these young explorers. The biggest problem is reproducing the tough environment of the moon right in their classroom. While they can use an oven to generate moon-like heat and a special machine to simulate (模拟) rocket shake, copying the space radiation and zero-gravity that seeds face in space is much harder. This mismatch between Earth-based simulations and what really happens in space makes their project immensely challenging.
To bridge this gap, the students learn through trial and error, like real scientists do. Take the case of 13-year-old Huefner. He discovered moon-like conditions made tomatoes grow taller than the control group, proving science isn’t just formulas, but human curiosity in action. Such stories resonate (引起共鸣) with the team on a profound level. Lunaria One’s Lauren recalls wanting fresh salad during her space mission, not dry food. “It really hit home how important missions like this are,” she reflects, “as they’re our first steps toward growing fresh food in space.” This direct link from scientific inquiry to future sustenance (生计) sustains their passion.
This project does more than grow plants — it grows future explorers. Ultimately, it brings science to life, because the kids tending these lunar gardens today might just be the ones seeding humanity’s future in space tomorrow — all through their school curriculum.
28. What is the primary purpose of the ALEPH Project
A. To modernize experiential learning.
B. To stimulate passive scientific minds.
C. To evaluate lunar agricultural systems.
D. To advance off-world farming practice.
29. What is the main challenge for these young scientists
A. Tackling true-to-moon heat modeling.
B. Recreating conditions similar to space.
C. Gaining experience in Earth agriculture.
D. Seeking access to high-end lab equipment.
30. What does the underlined phrase “hit home” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Struck with deep emotional force.
B. Evaluated novel scientific insights.
C. Caused serious technical arguments.
D. Reached the unexpected destination.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Who Will Farm in Space
B. How to Survive Lunar Heat
C. Can Classrooms Feed Moon
D. Is Off-Earth Salad Beneficial
D
Candles on a birthday cake mark calendar age, but they miss the hidden clock inside our bodies. Harvard Medical School now reports that each of us also has a “biological age” for every major organ, and these ages vary sharply even among people born in the same year.
Using blood samples from 44,498 UK Biobank volunteers aged 40-70, the team measured nearly 3,000 proteins. About fifteen percent of those proteins originate in a single organ, allowing an algorithm (算法) to assign an “organ age” to the brain, heart, kidneys and eight other systems. Participants were then followed for up to seventeen years. The results translate numbers into risks. One-third of the volunteers had at least one organ whose protein signature lay more than 1.5 standard deviations (标准差) from the age-adjusted average, a gap linked to sharply higher disease risks. Most striking was the brain. “The brain is the gatekeeper of longevity,” said senior author Tony Wyss-Coray, “If you’ve got an old brain, you have an increased likelihood of death.” An “extremely aged” brain raised the fifteen-year risk of death by 182% and multiplied the chance of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis compared with an “extremely youthful” brain.
Because organ age is readable years before symptoms appear, the same blood test could guide prevention. Wyss-Coray envisions pairing the test with detailed lifestyle and medication records to see whether already-approved drugs can rewind the biological clock of a high-risk organ. “Today you go to the doctor because something aches,” he noted, “We’re trying to shift from sick care to health care.”
Unfortunately, the technology is currently available only for research, but WyssCoray has started two companies, Teal Omics and Vero Bioscience, approved by Harvard to turn the findings into commercial drug searches and a consumer test. “A streamlined panel focusing on the brain, heart and immune system could reach clinics within two to three years,” he predicts, “and the cost will come down as we focus on fewer key organs.”
32. Why are birthday cake candles mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To issue a warning. B. To draw a contrast.
C. To highlight a custom. D. To make a prediction.
33. What can we learn from the research
A. Severe brain aging increases death risk.
B. Organs age at the same rate individually.
C. Volunteers’ diets affect protein signatures.
D. Young brains ensure Alzheimer’s prevention.
34. Which practice matches the study in paragraph 3
A. Treating a heart attack when it happens.
B. Repairing functions of organs at high risk.
C. Tracking daily exercise before health checks.
D. Using brain age tests to prevent early diseases.
35. What is Wyss-Coray’s prediction mainly about
A. Potential clinical application.
B. Consumers’ possible reaction.
C. More researchers’ engagement.
D. Research technology innovation.

The pursuit of happiness is fundamental to human nature. Most of us believe that when life goes well, we should automatically feel happy. ____36____ Many individuals who enjoy comfortable lives still report continuous dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or low mood. Why does this happen The main reason is that we keep raising our expectations for well-being.
____37____ Once our minds engage in the process, we begin comparing our real life to perfect imaginary standards. Gradually, we stop appreciating what we have already had and instead concentrate on what’s missing. This kind of over-analysis actually ruins the happy moment. It’s like staring at a tiny spot on an otherwise clean shirt, letting that small flaw prevent us from seeing how nice the shirt really is.
Take a common example: your birthday party. Your friends planned a great celebration with all your favorite things. ____38____ Nevertheless, this is where our mind may make all the difference. You could simply embrace the happiness of the moment, dancing freely. Or, you might scrutinize (仔细检查) your emotions, thinking“ ____39____ ”This self-critical idea breeds disappointment, leading to profound dissatisfaction. The truth is that true happiness rarely comes without any mixed feelings. Even the best moments carry imperfections.
Does this mean we should abandon the pursuit of emotional fulfillment Certainly not. Something might work for you. ____40____ They will help us cultivate genuine happiness and enrich life enjoyment. Most importantly, stop viewing life merely as preparation for future happiness. Real well-being comes not from chasing perfection, but from fully engaging with each moment as it comes.
A. It is hard to change emotional issues.
B. Yet reality often tells quite a different story.
C. If all my friends can be here, I can’t be happier.
D. Embrace emotions in all forms, challenging or uplifting.
E. You might start to carefully evaluate if it meets your expectations.
F. Instead, we should learn to appreciate the beauty of imperfections.
G. This common behavior mainly originates from constant overthinking.

Angus’ school days were marked by the sound of whispers. “Naughty Angus” they’d whisper as he sat alone in the corner. Break time meant ____41____ behind the gym, watching others laugh without him. His difficulty following rules made him a headache for all the teachers. By 12, he’d been ____42____ out of two schools.
At 15, he was diagnosed with Asperger’s and ADHD. The ____43____ in his head had a name, but it did little to ease his sense of isolation. One day, his dad ____44____ a magic set into his hands and said, “Just try.” That night, he ____45____ himself in his room, practicing the trick more times than he could ____46____. But when he finally got it ____47____ — when the red ball seemed to vanish into thin air — he couldn’t help but ____48____.
At 16, his parents ____49____ him up for a magic class in London. The gray-haired instructor watched him ____50____ a coin trick, comforting him, “Mistakes are part of learning.” Angus nodded, and finally made the trick perfectly. That night, he walked home with a ____51____ in his step, replaying the moment in his head.
Now 29, Angus stands on stage, teaching a group of kids a simple rope trick. “See Like this,” he says, ____52____ the rope around his fingers. A girl named Lila, who has ____53____ spoken all day, cries out as the rope “unties” itself, “I did it!” Angus smiles widely, remembering that ____54____ boy in the corner.
Magic didn’t just save his life — it gave him a way to tell the world, “I’m here. And I matter.” And that, he knows, is the greatest ____55____ of all.
41. A. playing B. hiding C. resting D. running
42. A. spared B. turned C. kicked D. picked

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。
Elliot Edwards had always been a curious boy full of questions about life. But as he grew older, the voices around him, “Questions don’t help you earn a living”, slowly silenced his wonder. The only shadow heavier than his unspoken curiosity was the distance between him and his younger brother, Thomas.
Years ago, in a moment of anger, Elliot had broken their grandfather’s treasured wooden compass — a family gift given to Thomas on his sixteenth birthday. The compass was carved with moon shapes, and their grandfather had told them, “True direction is found where hearts meet.” But after their fight, Thomas had left, and the brothers had not spoken since.
For over ten years, he worked as a library worker, sweeping floors among silent books, his own spirit gathering dust like the shelves he cared for. One rainy Wednesday, Elliot found a well-worn wool scarf folded neatly in the corner while cleaning shelves. It belonged to Mrs. Davies, a retired teacher who visited weekly. When she hurried back, eyes wet, she said softly, “This was my late husband’s last gift. We’d fought, and he gave it to apologize before he passed away. Don’t wait till it’s too late to make amends (弥补), dear.” Elliot watched her hold the scarf tight. For the first time, he thought of the compass at home, and wondered if he could fix his bond with Thomas.
Then, behind an old heater, he found it, a wooden compass, its back damaged but still glowing slightly. The letters T. E. were carved into the wood. Memories rushed back — his grandfather’s words, Thomas’s hurt face, the weight of regret he had carried all these years.
Rain hit the window. Elliot held the compass tight. That moment, he decided to find Thomas — he had to fix their bond before it was too late.
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。
Elliot stood before Thomas’ house, the compass heavy in his pocket.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One day after that, Elliot met Mrs. Davies in the library.

18. What do people mean when they say “cool beans”
A. They show agreement. B. They keep calm. C. They feel energetic.
19. Who is most probably called a “bean counter”
A. A professor. B. A gardener. C. An accountant.
20 Where does the idiom “magic beans” come from
A. A performance. B. A legend. C. A recipe.
【答案】18. A 19. C 20. B
【原文】W: English is full of colorful idioms, and some fun expressions involve something as simple as beans. These bean-related idioms add energy, humor, and clarity to everyday conversations. For example, when someone is “full of beans”, it means they’re energetic, lively, and full of enthusiasm. If you say “cool beans”, that’s just a casual and cheerful way to express approval. But not all bean-related idioms are so positive. If something “doesn’t amount to a hill of beans”, it’s considered unimportant or insignificant. Besides, saying “tough beans” is like saying “too bad” — a direct way to dismiss someone’s complaint. There are also idioms tied to money. A “bean counter” refers to someone who takes care of a company’s financial affairs and is overly concerned with costs, budgets, and financial details. If people “don’t have a bean”, it means they have no money. And finally, “magic beans”, a phrase from the English fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk, refers to something that seems worthless at first but later turns out to be surprisingly valuable.

John Arrillaga Sr, the pioneering Silicon Valley developer, was one of Stanford’s greatest benefactors (捐助者), leaving a legacy literally built into every corner of campus.
Over decades, Arrillaga’s generous donations and hands-on efforts reshaped Stanford’s campus. Though best known for athletic facilities, his true impact extended far beyond. As his longtime friend John Etchemendy noted, “Hundreds of projects bear his mark, yet rarely his name.” Nowhere was this quiet dedication clearer than in the reconstruction of Stanford Stadium. He personally funded and oversaw every detail — from selecting palm trees to designing seats to mapping walkways — yet refused to put his name on it.
Born into a working-class family, young Arrillaga couldn’t afford a proper suit for his high school graduation, having to borrow an ill-fitting jacket with sleeves that barely reached his wrists. He unexpectedly attended Stanford on a basketball scholarship, working multiple campus jobs to make ends meet. After playing professionally in Spain, he returned to develop Silicon Valley offices during the tech boom, becoming a billionaire. True to his humble beginnings, he started repaying Stanford almost immediately after graduation — beginning with modest athletic department gifts that grew into historic donations exceeding $250 million. Through his scholarship programs, he’s helped over 300 students facing similar financial challenges.
One day, a young donor moved by Arrillaga’s generosity shared how witnessing the selfless giving had profoundly shaped his devotion to charitable work. Realizing the ripple (涟漪) effect of his actions through others, Arrillaga months later made a rare exception: he permitted his name to appear on just one building — not for personal distinction, but as a nod to the power of leading by example.
While his benefaction helped communities across Silicon Valley through donations to police stations, libraries, and other public spaces, his strongest ties always remained with Stanford University.
24. What was Arrillaga’s key role in the stadium reconstruction
A. A landscape designer.
B. A stadium co-investor.
C. A full-project supporter.
D. A building material producer.
25. What motivated Arrillaga’s lifelong commitment to Stanford
A. The fate-changing scholarship.
B. The desire for public recognition.
C. The billionaire lifestyle experience.
D. The business investment strategies.
26. Why did Arrillaga finally allow his name to appear on one building
A. To accept praise from the public.
B. To inspire more charitable actions.
C. To fulfill a request from his university.
D. To show the ripple effect of athletics.
27. What does Arrillaga’s experience show
A. Wealth necessitates public display.
B. Athletic excellence drives social change.
C. Humble beginnings can lead to fortunes.
D. Silent impact outweighs visible recognition.

Growing cucumbers on the moon might sound like science fiction, but for thousands of Australian students aged seven to ten, that future is now. They are pioneering the ALEPH Project, a groundbreaking world-first mission to establish the first lunar garden by 2026.
Far from being passive observers, these young scientists are the vital engine of the project. They roll up their sleeves to tackle the core objective — figuring out what can actually grow on the moon — through hands-on experimentation. By designing specialized seed delivery systems and uploading findings to a national database, they equip scientists with real-world data for critical decision-making. This Stile Education and Lunaria One partnership has already yielded remarkable results, with over 440 student-led experiments and 200 teams’ data pushing the mission ahead.
Yet the universe isn’t making it easy for these young explorers. The biggest problem is reproducing the tough environment of the moon right in their classroom. While they can use an oven to generate moon-like heat and a special machine to simulate (模拟) rocket shake, copying the space radiation and zero-gravity that seeds face in space is much harder. This mismatch between Earth-based simulations and what really happens in space makes their project immensely challenging.
To bridge this gap, the students learn through trial and error, like real scientists do. Take the case of 13-year-old Huefner. He discovered moon-like conditions made tomatoes grow taller than the control group, proving science isn’t just formulas, but human curiosity in action. Such stories resonate (引起共鸣) with the team on a profound level. Lunaria One’s Lauren recalls wanting fresh salad during her space mission, not dry food. “It really hit home how important missions like this are,” she reflects, “as they’re our first steps toward growing fresh food in space.” This direct link from scientific inquiry to future sustenance (生计) sustains their passion.
This project does more than grow plants — it grows future explorers. Ultimately, it brings science to life, because the kids tending these lunar gardens today might just be the ones seeding humanity’s future in space tomorrow — all through their school curriculum.
28. What is the primary purpose of the ALEPH Project
A. To modernize experiential learning.
B. To stimulate passive scientific minds.
C. To evaluate lunar agricultural systems.
D. To advance off-world farming practice.
29. What is the main challenge for these young scientists
A. Tackling true-to-moon heat modeling.
B. Recreating conditions similar to space.
C. Gaining experience in Earth agriculture.
D. Seeking access to high-end lab equipment.
30. What does the underlined phrase “hit home” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Struck with deep emotional force.
B. Evaluated novel scientific insights.
C. Caused serious technical arguments.
D. Reached the unexpected destination.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Who Will Farm in Space
B. How to Survive Lunar Heat
C. Can Classrooms Feed Moon
D. Is Off-Earth Salad Beneficial
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C
D
Candles on a birthday cake mark calendar age, but they miss the hidden clock inside our bodies. Harvard Medical School now reports that each of us also has a “biological age” for every major organ, and these ages vary sharply even among people born in the same year.
Using blood samples from 44,498 UK Biobank volunteers aged 40-70, the team measured nearly 3,000 proteins. About fifteen percent of those proteins originate in a single organ, allowing an algorithm (算法) to assign an “organ age” to the brain, heart, kidneys and eight other systems. Participants were then followed for up to seventeen years. The results translate numbers into risks. One-third of the volunteers had at least one organ whose protein signature lay more than 1.5 standard deviations (标准差) from the age-adjusted average, a gap linked to sharply higher disease risks. Most striking was the brain. “The brain is the gatekeeper of longevity,” said senior author Tony Wyss-Coray, “If you’ve got an old brain, you have an increased likelihood of death.” An “extremely aged” brain raised the fifteen-year risk of death by 182% and multiplied the chance of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis compared with an “extremely youthful” brain.
Because organ age is readable years before symptoms appear, the same blood test could guide prevention. Wyss-Coray envisions pairing the test with detailed lifestyle and medication records to see whether already-approved drugs can rewind the biological clock of a high-risk organ. “Today you go to the doctor because something aches,” he noted, “We’re trying to shift from sick care to health care.”
Unfortunately, the technology is currently available only for research, but WyssCoray has started two companies, Teal Omics and Vero Bioscience, approved by Harvard to turn the findings into commercial drug searches and a consumer test. “A streamlined panel focusing on the brain, heart and immune system could reach clinics within two to three years,” he predicts, “and the cost will come down as we focus on fewer key organs.”
32. Why are birthday cake candles mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To issue a warning. B. To draw a contrast.
C. To highlight a custom. D. To make a prediction.
33. What can we learn from the research
A. Severe brain aging increases death risk.
B. Organs age at the same rate individually.
C. Volunteers’ diets affect protein signatures.
D. Young brains ensure Alzheimer’s prevention.
34. Which practice matches the study in paragraph 3
A. Treating a heart attack when it happens.
B. Repairing functions of organs at high risk.
C. Tracking daily exercise before health checks.
D. Using brain age tests to prevent early diseases.
35. What is Wyss-Coray’s prediction mainly about
A. Potential clinical application.
B. Consumers’ possible reaction.
C. More researchers’ engagement.
D. Research technology innovation.

The pursuit of happiness is fundamental to human nature. Most of us believe that when life goes well, we should automatically feel happy. ____36____ Many individuals who enjoy comfortable lives still report continuous dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or low mood. Why does this happen The main reason is that we keep raising our expectations for well-being.
____37____ Once our minds engage in the process, we begin comparing our real life to perfect imaginary standards. Gradually, we stop appreciating what we have already had and instead concentrate on what’s missing. This kind of over-analysis actually ruins the happy moment. It’s like staring at a tiny spot on an otherwise clean shirt, letting that small flaw prevent us from seeing how nice the shirt really is.
Take a common example: your birthday party. Your friends planned a great celebration with all your favorite things. ____38____ Nevertheless, this is where our mind may make all the difference. You could simply embrace the happiness of the moment, dancing freely. Or, you might scrutinize (仔细检查) your emotions, thinking“ ____39____ ”This self-critical idea breeds disappointment, leading to profound dissatisfaction. The truth is that true happiness rarely comes without any mixed feelings. Even the best moments carry imperfections.
Does this mean we should abandon the pursuit of emotional fulfillment Certainly not. Something might work for you. ____40____ They will help us cultivate genuine happiness and enrich life enjoyment. Most importantly, stop viewing life merely as preparation for future happiness. Real well-being comes not from chasing perfection, but from fully engaging with each moment as it comes.
A. It is hard to change emotional issues.
B. Yet reality often tells quite a different story.
C. If all my friends can be here, I can’t be happier.
D. Embrace emotions in all forms, challenging or uplifting.
E. You might start to carefully evaluate if it meets your expectations.
F. Instead, we should learn to appreciate the beauty of imperfections.
G. This common behavior mainly originates from constant overthinking.

AI Meets Ancient Poetry
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 AI Meets Ancient Poetry
Last week Mr. Blake, our foreign teacher, gave us an interesting lesson themed “AI Meets Ancient Poetry”.
He first introduced the basic rules of poetry translation and then asked us to input the classic works, such as Du Fu’s “Spring View”, into the AI translation tool. Next, we compared and discussed the machine-generated translations, analyzing the differences in word choice and emotional expression. Finally, Mr. Blake emphasized that AI can assist in understanding, but the sense of language and cultural meaning still require human refinement.
The activity made me realize that technology can serve as a useful bridge, but the true charm of poetry lies in the emotional resonance behind the words.

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。
Elliot Edwards had always been a curious boy full of questions about life. But as he grew older, the voices around him, “Questions don’t help you earn a living”, slowly silenced his wonder. The only shadow heavier than his unspoken curiosity was the distance between him and his younger brother, Thomas.
Years ago, in a moment of anger, Elliot had broken their grandfather’s treasured wooden compass — a family gift given to Thomas on his sixteenth birthday. The compass was carved with moon shapes, and their grandfather had told them, “True direction is found where hearts meet.” But after their fight, Thomas had left, and the brothers had not spoken since.
For over ten years, he worked as a library worker, sweeping floors among silent books, his own spirit gathering dust like the shelves he cared for. One rainy Wednesday, Elliot found a well-worn wool scarf folded neatly in the corner while cleaning shelves. It belonged to Mrs. Davies, a retired teacher who visited weekly. When she hurried back, eyes wet, she said softly, “This was my late husband’s last gift. We’d fought, and he gave it to apologize before he passed away. Don’t wait till it’s too late to make amends (弥补), dear.” Elliot watched her hold the scarf tight. For the first time, he thought of the compass at home, and wondered if he could fix his bond with Thomas.
Then, behind an old heater, he found it, a wooden compass, its back damaged but still glowing slightly. The letters T. E. were carved into the wood. Memories rushed back — his grandfather’s words, Thomas’s hurt face, the weight of regret he had carried all these years.
Rain hit the window. Elliot held the compass tight. That moment, he decided to find Thomas — he had to fix their bond before it was too late.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Elliot stood before Thomas’ house, the compass heavy in his pocket.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Elliot stood before Thomas’ house, the compass heavy in his pocket. Rain drizzled on his shoulders, but he barely felt it — all his focus was on the wooden door. When Thomas opened it, his eyes widened at the sight of Elliot, and then flicked to the compass Elliot held out. “I’m sorry,” Elliot said, voice tight. “I broke more than a compass that day. I broke us.” Thomas stared at the moon carvings, and then took the compass. For a long moment, he ran his finger over the T. E. “Grandpa was right,” he said finally. “Direction’s where hearts meet.” He pulled Elliot into a hug, and the rain outside felt like a soft, quiet apology too.
One day after that, Elliot met Mrs. Davies in the library. She was browsing the poetry section, and when she saw Elliot, she smiled, “You look lighter, dear.” Elliot nodded, pulling a small wooden box from his bag — inside, the repaired compass, now with a tiny sun next to the moon carvings. “I fixed it. And us. Thanks to you, Mrs. Davies. Your words really inspired me. I found my brother and we’ve reconciled.” Mrs. Davies nodded, “That’s the magic of mending — you don’t just fix things. You fix yourself.” As Elliot watched her leave, he glanced at the shelves — no longer dusty, but filled with stories of second chances. He knew his own story had just turned a new page.
