When I was young, I always knew my parents had trouble with money. We would go to yard sales all the time, work and eat at a soup kitchen 4 nights a week. Then, a new man walked into the soup kitchen and asked me what my name was. I told him my name was Angela. After that, I couldn't find the strange man again.
I searched everywhere and even asked the others in the kitchen if they had seen him. My mom thought I was going crazy, saying I had been sitting alone and that it seemed I was talking to myself.
Later that night in the car, my mom was crying. I asked her what was wrong and she told me the rent on our apartment had gone up and that my grandma had died. She didn't know how she was going to pay for the funeral and the rent.
I assured her I would help pick up the odds and ends after she made as much as possible. Once we got into the apartment building, she asked me to run to the mail room and grab the mail. I went, and the only thing I could find was one single envelope. A familiar man called me back saying he thought I left something in our mailbox. I reached in and pulled out a huge manila envelope that was bulky but I couldn't tell what was in it. I brought the envelopes up to my mom. She opened the first one and found our first super expensive rent bill. She then walked into her room, saying she couldn't handle to open the other one. I looked at the envelope and saw this: Dear Angela and Family. Love, Your Friend.
I brought it to my mom with shaking hands and asked her to open it. She ripped it open, tears streaming down her face. She emptied the contents onto the bed. I brought a hand to my face, wiping away multiple tears. There on the bed were countless checks, all addressed to my mom. I had a feeling I knew who had sent it, but didn't want to tell my mom.

Kyle Schwartz, a new teacher at Doull Elementary School in Denver, teaches a thirdgrade class. Most of her students come from underprivileged homes, as 92 percent are allowed to free or reduced school lunches, she said. “As a new teacher, I tried to understand my students’ real lives and how to best support them. I just felt like there was something I didn’t know about my students,” she said. To solve this problem, she asked her students to complete the sentence: “I wish my teacher knew. . . ”
While some children used the notes to jokingly complain (抱怨)about homework or to ask for more playtime, Ms. Schwartz said some of the answers were “heartbreaking”, as children showed their hard lives. One student told Ms. Schwartz that he did not have any pencils at home, while another said that they hadn’t seen their father for six years. And another student wrote, “I wish my teacher knew sometimes my homework is not signed (签字)because my mom is not around a lot.” She posted them to Twitter in March with the hashtag #I Wish My Teacher Knew #
Teachers on Twitter soon noticed how successful Ms. Schwartz’s way was for reaching out to students, and began sharing similar notes they received alongside #I Wish My Teacher Knew #.
Ms. Schwartz said that since she encouraged her students to share their secrets, students have been supporting each other more, and she hopes the method will connect students and their families with the proper things they need to live comfortably. She added that the results have been surprising, and the student that said she didn’t have anyone to play with has since been invited by classmates to join them in the school playground.
25．What does the underlined word “underprivileged” in Paragraph I probably mean
A．Comfortable. B．Happy. C．Broken. D．Poor.
26．Why did Kyle ask her students to complete the sentence
A．To better understand them. B．To encourage their creativity.
C．To develop their writing skills. D．To teach them to introduce themselves.
27．What was the attitude of teachers on Twitter to Kyle’s idea
A．Uncaring. B．Worried. C．Surprised. D．Supportive.
28．How did Kyle look at her method
A．It was difficult for her students. B．It might upset some students.
C．It helped her students in many ways. D．It would improve her school’s environment.
My friend, Jack, was a taxi driver. We became friends quite by accident. Five years ago, I made a trip to Chicago. The moment I stepped into a cab, I realized it was different. The floor was covered with a rug (小地毯). There were small reproductions of paintings by Van Gogh inside the cab. And the windows were spotless. I told the driver I had never ridden in a more attractive taxi.
“I like to hear my passengers say that,” he replied. “How long have you been decorating your cab ” I asked. “It’s not mine,” he said. “It’s a company cab. I hit upon the idea years ago when I worked as a clean-up man for the taxi company. Each car that came in at the end of the day was like a garbage pit. Cigarette butts and matches covered the floor. Sticky stuff like peanut butter was on the seats or door handles. I thought that if the company and the drivers would give people a car worth keeping clean, they might be more considerate. ”
“As soon as I got my taxi license, I tried out my ideas. I put a lot of extra decorations into the cab they gave me to drive. I got a nice rug and some flowers. When each passenger got out, I checked to make sure that everything was in order for the next fare. After about a month of my bringing in a spotless cab, the boss reserved the same car for me each day. That was when I put up the reproductions of great paintings.”
“I’ve never been disappointed by people in the past ten years—no garbage. Like I say, people appreciate beautiful things. If we planted more flowers and trees in the city and made the buildings more attractive, more people would tend to keep the city clean.”
Later, we became good friends. I was impressed by the taxi-driver, who had hit on a great truth—a sense of beauty comes with the gift of life. Most people don’t have to be instructed about the rarity of beauty. They respond when they find it. And, if they are made to feel a part of it, they will try to add to it.
29．What made the writer surprised when he got into the taxi
A．The beautiful decoration on the rug.
B．The style of decoration outside the taxi.
C．The masterpieces of well-known painters.
D．The impressive inner environment of the taxi.
30．Jack got the idea of decorating the cab when _______.
A．he got his taxi license
B．the boss reserved the same car for him each day
C．he served as a clean-up man for the taxi company
D．he found the taxi he cleaned was full of cigarette butts
31．What does the story mainly tell us
A．People can easily make friends when taking a taxi.
B．When people find beauty in life, they will try to add to it.
C．If we plant more flowers and trees, we can keep the city clean.
D．We have to be taught to find beauty and make it more beautiful.
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
32．What do solar developers often ignore
A．The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B．The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C．The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D．The most recent advances in solar technology.
33．What does InSPIRE aim to do
A．Improve the productivity of local farms.
B．Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C．Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D．Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
34．What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To conserve pollinators. B．To restrict solar development.
C．To diversify the economy. D．To ensure the supply of energy.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B．Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C．InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D．Solar Farms: A New Development

It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.
Most do not fully see this truth. 36 . It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
37 . Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. 38 .
39 . When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. 40 As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
A．Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure.
B．Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn (责难) us for failing.
C．It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.
D．Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.
E．Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.
F．We can register to make money and participate in problem solving collaboration (合作、协作) groups.
G．What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.

M: Hello, everybody. Welcome back to our program. I’m Cliff. Today I’d like to talk about blind boxes. The blind box attracts young people’s attention and makes toy makers a fortune. Blind boxes were first popular in Japan and later spread to China, Thailand and other countries. The blind box market was worth 7.4 billion yuan, that was,$1.14 billion in 2019 according to research. It will increase to 30 billion yuan by 2024.But once in a while, a rare or even “hidden” item-one that does not appear in advertisements for the range-will appear in the box, which raises a storm of collection. Wang Ke, a big fan of toy collectors, has ever been in a queue overnight for new products. She said buying blind boxes was mainly for a sense of mystery and an uncertain surprise. Many young people think blind boxes can comfort their heart, reducing the pressure from work and life, which brings a sudden increase in the blind box market. But it has not escaped criticism, with state media comparing the trend to addiction. OK. That’s all for today. Thanks for listening.

【原文】
M: After longing for his stolen guitar for almost half a century, Canadian rock star Randy Bachman has finally been reunited with the instrument, which an eagle-eyed fan tracked down in Japan. Bachman, who wrote the original “American Woman” with his band The Guess Who, recovered his guitar in Tokyo – 46 years after his cherished guitar was stolen from a Toronto hotel. “With that guitar, I wrote many million-selling songs… it was like my magical guitar. And then when it’s suddenly gone, the magic is gone.” Bachman said. He bought the guitar as a teenager in the early 1960s with $ 400 saved up from washing cars and babysitting. He had long admired the instrument, spending hours staring at it in a shop window with his friend and fellow musician Neil Young. Over the decades, Bachman hunted for his guitar. A Canadian fan, William Long, decided to help with the search in 2020. “Yeah, I’m a detective,” Long said. “I was confident I was going to find it.” Finally he found that a Japanese musician called Takeshi played Bachman’s beloved guitar in a video. Takeshi bought Bachman’s guitar in 2014 for around 850,000 yen ($ 6,300). Long alerted Bachman to his discovery, and the musicians arranged to meet in Tokyo to exchange Bachman’s original guitar with another of the same type, also made in 1957.
21．A 22．D 23．C 24．D
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者家里很穷，经常去救济站工作并在那里吃饭。一天，一个陌生男人问了作者的名字之后就不见了。随后作者发现寄给自己的一封信里都是钞票，作者断定这封信是在救济站遇到的那个陌生人寄来的。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第三段“Later that night in the car, my mom was crying. I asked her what was wrong and she told me the rent on our apartment had gone up and that my grandma had died. She didn't know how she was going to pay for the funeral and the rent.”(那天晚上在车里，我妈妈哭了。我问她怎么了，她告诉我，我们公寓的租金涨了，我奶奶去世了。她不知道怎么付葬礼和房租。)可知，母亲哭是因为奶奶去世了，同时公寓的租金也涨了，母亲负担不起，所以说母亲是因为亲戚去世和家庭的贫困而哭泣，故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“She opened the first one and found our first super expensive rent bill. She then walked into her room, saying she couldn't handle to open the other one.”(她打开第一个信封，发现里面有我们第一个超级昂贵的房租账单。然后她走进她的房间，说她没法应付另一个信封。)可知，第一个信封里是超级昂贵的房租账单，当母亲看到时就不想再面对第二个信封，怕里面也是账单，所以可以推断出，当母亲打开第一封信的时候，母亲感觉很失望，D选项“Disappointed”(失望的)符合，A. Indifferent漠不关心的；B. Excited兴奋的；C. Surprised惊讶的，故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I had a feeling I knew who had sent it, but didn't want to tell my mom.”(我觉得我知道是谁寄的，但不想告诉我妈妈。)，第一段中“Then, a new man walked into the soup kitchen and asked me what my name was. I told him my name was Angela. After that, I couldn't find the strange man again.”(然后，一个新来的男人走进救济站，问我叫什么名字。我告诉他我叫Angela。从那以后，我就再也找不到那个陌生人了。)和第二段“I searched everywhere and even asked the others in the kitchen if they had seen him. My mom thought I was going crazy, saying I had been sitting alone and that it seemed I was talking to myself.”(我找遍了所有地方，甚至问厨房里的其他人有没有见过他。我妈妈以为我疯了，说我一直一个人坐着，好像在自言自语。)可知，作者联想到之前在救济站有个陌生人问过作者名字，随后就找不到了，作者断定这钱是这个陌生人给寄过来的，但是之前作者和母亲说过这个陌生人，母亲当时没有看到有陌生人和作者说话，所以母亲不相信有这个陌生人，所以可以推断出，作者不想告诉母亲是这个陌生人给的钱这个事实，是因为作者认为母亲不会相信作者，故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Then, a new man walked into the soup kitchen and asked me what my name was. I told him my name was Angela. After that, I couldn't find the strange man again.”(然后，一个新来的男人走进施粥场，问我叫什么名字。我告诉他我叫Angela。从那以后，我就再也找不到那个陌生人了。)和倒数第二段中的“I looked at the envelope and saw this: Dear Angela and Family. Love, Your Friend.”(我看了看信封，看到了这个：亲爱的 Angela 和家人，爱你的朋友。)可知，信封上写着作者的名字，说明这个人知道作者的名字，结合之前作者在救济站时，一个陌生人问过作者的名字，由此可以推断出，是救济站的这个陌生人给作者的这封信，故选D。

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。短文主要讲述了一位名为Kyle Schwartz的老师，通过向学生提问，分享信息的方式来了解学生，并帮助他们使得学生们更好的坦露心声，在更多的方面得到了帮助。
25．词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“as 92 per cent are allowed to free or reduced school lunches, she said.(她说，92%的学生被允许免费或减少学校午餐)”并结合常理可知，享受免费或减价午餐的学生应是家庭不富裕，因此推断她的大部分学生来自贫困家庭，划线单词意为：贫困的。故选D。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第一段““As a new teacher, I tried to understand my students’ real lives and how to best support them. I just felt like there was something I didn’t know about my students,” she said. To solve this problem, she asked her students to complete the sentence: “I wish my teacher knew... ”(“作为一名新老师，我试图了解学生的真实生活，以及如何最好地支持他们，我只是觉得有些事情我对学生一无所知，”她说。为了解决这个问题，她要求学生完成这句话：“我希望我的老师知道…”)”可推知，她让学生完成句子是为了能从中更好的了解学生们。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Teachers on Twitter soon noticed how successful Ms. Schwartz’s way was for reaching out to students, and began sharing similar notes they received alongside #I Wish My Teacher Knew #.(推特上的老师们很快就注意到Schwartz与学生接触的方式是多么成功，并开始在#我希望我的老师知道#旁边分享他们收到的类似笔记)”可退知，推特上的老师们是支持Kyle Schwartz的想法和做法的。故选D。
28．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Ms. Schwartz said that since she encouraged her students to share their secrets, students have been supporting each other more, and she hopes the method will connect students and their families with the proper things they need to live comfortably.(Schwartz女士说，自从她鼓励学生们分享自己的秘密以来，学生们就越来越多地相互支持。她希望这种方法能让学生和他们的家人获得舒适生活所需的适当东西)”可知，她的这个做法在许多方面给了学生帮助。故选C。
29．D 30．C 31．B
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。爱美的出租车司机装饰了自己的出租车。令人印象深刻的出租车内部环境让作者在上车时感到惊讶。这篇文章告诉我们“当人们在生活中发现美时，他们会努力为之添彩。”
29．推理判断题。根据第一段中The moment I stepped into a cab, I realized it was different. The floor was covered with a rug (小地毯). There were small reproductions of paintings by Van Gogh inside the cab. And the windows were spotless.“当我走进一辆出租车，我意识到这是不同的。地板上铺着地毯。在驾驶室里有一些小的梵高画作的复制品。窗户也一尘不染。”可知，令人印象深刻的出租车内部环境让作者在上车时感到惊讶。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据第二段中I hit upon the idea years ago when I worked as a clean-up man for the taxi company.“几年前，我在一家出租车公司当清洁工时，突然想到了这个主意。”可知，杰克在出租车公司当清洁工时，就有了装饰出租车的想法。故选C。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Most people don’t have to be instructed about the rarity of beauty. They respond when they find it. And, if they are made to feel a part of it, they will try to add to it.“大多数人不需要被告知美的稀有。当他们发现时，他们会做出反应。而且，如果他们被要求去感受其中的一部分，他们会尝试去增加它。”可知本文告诉我们“当人们在生活中发现美时，他们会努力为之添彩。”故选B。
32．B 33．C 34．A 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场，这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫，从而促进农业的发展。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常，他们最终会用小石头填满该地区，并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，特别是在农业地区，将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知，太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题，导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者，由此可以推断，开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知，InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场，也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C项。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知，这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关，所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。
35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里，许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所，从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知，现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展，更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保，这将是未来发展农业的新趋势，再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断，本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。生活不会是一帆风顺的，我们必然会遇到问题和困难。我们不能抱怨，而应该面对他们。正是我们不断的解决问题，才使我们的人生变得容易。
36．根据上文“Most do not fully see this truth.(大多数人并没有充分认识到这一真理)”以及后一句“It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation(在他们看来，他们的困难代表着一种特殊的苦难，特别是强加于他们或他们的家庭，他们的阶级，甚至他们的国家)”可知，大部分的人都没有意识到生活并非一帆风顺，很多人都认为困难是强加给的灾难。所以E项Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy(相反，他们抱怨他们的问题和困难，好像生活应该是轻松的)承上启下。故选E。
37．根据空格后的内容“Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.(问题，取决于它们的性质，给我们带来悲伤、孤独、遗憾、愤怒或恐惧。这些都是不舒服的感觉，通常和任何一种身体上的疼痛一样痛苦。因为生活带来了无尽的问题，生活总是困难的，充满了痛苦和快乐)”可知，本段主要讲述生活中有很多困难，会给我们带来这样或那样的痛苦，解决这些困难本身也是很痛苦的。所以G项What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one(使生活变得困难的是面对和解决问题的过程是一个痛苦的过程)符合本段大意。故选G。
38．结合文章上文“Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.(问题，取决于它们的性质，给我们带来悲伤、孤独、遗憾、愤怒或恐惧。这些都是不舒服的感觉，通常和任何一种身体上的疼痛一样痛苦。因为生活带来了无尽的问题，生活总是困难的，充满了痛苦和快乐)”可知，生活总是会给我带来无数的问题，这些问题会给我们生活痛苦。再结合下一段“When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve(当我们希望鼓励人类精神的成长时，我们鼓励人类解决问题的能力，就像在学校里我们给孩子们设置问题让他们解决一样)”可知，解决这些问题会让我们成长。由此推知，空格处应该存在转折关系，虽然生活中会遇到问题，但是解决问题会让我们的生活有意义。那么D项Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning(然而，正是在解决问题的整个过程中，生命才有了意义)承上启下。故选D。
39．根据下文“When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve(当我们希望鼓励人类精神的成长时，我们鼓励人类解决问题的能力，就像在学校里我们给孩子们设置问题让他们解决一样)”以及最后一句“It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems(正是因为这个原因，明智的人学会了不害怕，而是欢迎问题带来的痛苦)”可知，本段主要讲述要学会分辨困难，困难是区分成功和失败的关键。所以A项Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure(问题是分辨成功与失败的严峻考验)符合本段大意。故选A。
40．根据空格前一句“When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve(当我们希望鼓励人类精神的成长时，我们鼓励人类解决问题的能力，就像在学校里我们给孩子们设置问题让他们解决一样)”以及空格后一句“Those things that hurt, instruct.(那些伤害你的东西，可以起到指导作用)”可知，空格处应该讲述面对问题与解决问题的关系，即正视问题才会让我们进步。所以C项It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn(正是通过会面和解决问题的痛苦，我们才得以学习)承上启下。故选C。
41．C 42．A 43．D 44．B 45．C 46．A 47．B 48．D 49．A 50．D 51．C 52．D 53．C 54．B 55．A 56．B 57．C 58．D 59．B 60．A

72．Suddenly, one grandson, Ted, turned back and walked toward the barn again. He went back to the barn to search again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. And the other children were also curious about Ted’s going. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to remain silent. All the children kept silent as they were told. Ted was there for about fifteen minutes and then he rushed to his grandfather, holding the watch in his hand. To everyone’s surprise, Ted had found the watch. He gave it to Joe, which made Joe extremely delighted.
They were surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied: “I sat there without making any noise, and the barn was so silent. After a few minutes, I heard the ‘tick, tick’ sound and found the watch.” Joe hugged and thanked the little boy. This is the power of silence. If we stay calm when facing difficulty, we are more able to find the solution!
