Mia, 12, is now on a year-long trip with her parents and three younger brothers. Far from their home in Quebec, Canada, the family rode horses in Mongolia, kayaked in Cambodia, camped in Namibia and flew in a hot air balloon in Turkey, looking to collect as many once-in-a-lifetime memories as they could.
The memories really matter because unless science makes a breakthrough soon, three of the children will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have been diagnosed with a disease that has no effective treatment and no specific timeline as it gradually robs them of their sight.
The diagnoses came in 2015. Despite the grief, the parents were surprised to find Mia, then 7, was calm about it. She announced that she would need to start keeping her bedroom especially neat, with everything in its place. “In the future, I’ll need to know where things are,” Mia said.
“She’s finding solutions on her own,” the parents told each other. “We need to follow her lead.” And so the idea of a yearlong trip was born, one that would show the kids the world, in person and at close range – while the kids could still see it. For the next two years, the parents saved money and researched places to visit. “How we adults see the world and how kids see the world are so different.” says the mother, Edith. “It would have to be less about temples and museums and more about whatever caught their eyes.”
By the time the trip began to wind down in early 2023, the family had traveled 52,000 miles and visited 18 countries. Mia grew taller and when entering adolescence, needed more independence. Her brothers became more confident and outgoing. The kids were very aware that they had learned a lot. “There’s a lot of suffering, a lot of poverty, but lots of good and interesting things too. We should be positive.” said Mia.

D. They are open-minded enough to respect their children’s decision.

In our human-centric view, the ability to shoot ink or change colors may seem odd, but you know what’s really odd Menopause (更年期). You can count species other than humans known to experience and outlive menopause on one hand. Only Oracs (虎鲸) and some whale populations have females that live long past their reproductive years to become grandmothers. But a new, landmark study confirms that at least one population of chimpanzees can now be added to the list.
The discovery comes as the result of 21 years’ worth of observing the Ngogo community of wild chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Studying urine from 66 Ngogo females, aged 14 to 67, showed that their hormone levels changed after approaching 50, confirming they were in menopause. Interestingly, 50 is also the age when many people begin to experience menopause. “It’s really cool to finally have that piece of the puzzle come into place,” says Catherine Hobaiter, a primatologist who was not part of the new study.
But Catherine points out that the Ngogo community lives in a chimp paradise: the resource-rich, well-protected Kibale National Park that also lacks leopards, their main predator. And because the Noggo community is found in the heart of the park, its only neighbors are other chimps — not humans who can expose chimpanzees to viruses that have devastated other communities. “The Ngogo population may be an outlier (局外人) when it comes to the rest of the species,” she cautions.
And there is a question concerning “the grandmother effect”, according to which a grandmother has a decidedly beneficial effect on her children and grandchildren. Chimpanzees do not form long-term pair-bonds and females leave in search of new communities when they reach maturity, which means grandmother chimpanzees likely don’t know who their grandchildren are in the same way humans or even orcas do. What they do after the menopause remains a question of interest. “And that’s all future work to be done.” said Catherine.
8. What can be learned about menopause
A. It is rare among animals. B. It is unique to human beings.
C. It just occurs at the age of 50. D. It is experienced only by females.
9. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Scientist have found the solution to menopause.
B. What happens to the 66 Ngogo females remains a puzzle.
C. There is a puzzle whether chimpanzee females experience menopause.
D. The latest discovery casts new light on the puzzle of animal menopause.
10. Why does Catherine mention the living situation of the Ngogo community
A. To stress the importance of protecting chimpanzees from viruses.
B. To remind researchers of the potential limitation of the new study.
C. To prove that Ngogo chimpanzees are perfect subjects of the study.
D. To argue that the discovery of the new study is completely groundless.
11. How is the last paragraph developed
A. By offering a definition. B. By drawing a conclusion.
C By presenting relevant facts. D. By giving examples and opinions.
D
I spoke to my parents last night and for a moment I forgot I wasn’t really speaking to them, but to their digital replicas (复制品). They live inside an app as voice assistants constructed by the company HereAfter AI.
In fact, my parents are still alive and well; their virtual versions were made to help me understand the technology. Grief tech, which lets you “talk” with the people you’ve loved and lost, has been appearing in science fiction. But now it’s becoming a reality. Although the thought of it makes some frightened, it’s not hard to see the appeal that people might turn to digital replicas for comfort.
However, there is one major limitation. These replicas may sound like someone you love, but they know nothing about you. Anyone can talk to them, and get the same reply in the same tone. “The biggest issue with the technology is the idea that you can generate a single universal person,” says Justin Harrison, founder of a technological service.
Creating a virtual avatar you can have more conversation with contributes to your feeling connected to someone you loved and lost, says Erin Thompson, a clinical psychologist. But a grieving person needs to know that these bots can only capture a small part of someone rather than replace healthy, functional human relationships.
And there are other risks. Any service that allows you to create a digital replica of someone without that person’s participation raises complex moral issues. While some might argue that permission is less important with someone who is dead, can’t you also argue that the person who generated the other side of the conversation should have a say too And what if that person is not, in fact, dead
If digital replicas become mainstream, there will inevitably need to be new regulations around what we leave behind online. And we’ll be better off if we cope with the possibility of these replicas’ misuse before, not after, they reach mass adoption.
Anyway I feel lucky to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with my parents, face to face, no technology involved.
12. Which of the following is not a drawback of digital replicas
A. They can’t vary their response accordingly.
B. They can’t mirror every aspect of a person.
C. They may pose threat to the interests of people alive.
D. It’s hard to gain permission from someone who is not alive.
13. What’s the author’s attitude towards grief tech
A. Favorable. B. Reasonable. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.
14. According to the last two paragraphs, what inspiration did the author draw from his experience
A. Technology is advancing faster than imagined.
B. Safety risks can be surely avoided by regulations.
C. Replicas will not be misused before widely adopted.
D. Cherish the beloved ones when they are still around.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Reflections on grief tech. B. Ways to overcome our grief.
C. Technology to change our life. D. Controversy over digital replicas.

When you hear your friend passed an exam that you had failed earlier, will you share her happiness If you can feel the joy, congratulations! ___16___ Studies found that Freudenfreude contributes to kind acts, such as helping others.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was October and we were attending the fire hall’s open house with our five-year-old son Henry. He was especially drawn to the collection of model fire trucks in the large glass display case. The firefighters were more than happy to answer his many questions about each piece of equipment. “When do you get to play with those ” Henry asked the accompanying firefighter.
The firefighter hid his amusement and pretended to be serious as he answered. “We don’t get to play with them. The chief keeps them locked away in that box.”
Henry was lost in thought as we walked home that evening.
With colder weather setting in, our thoughts turned to the upcoming New Year’s Day. It was important to us to educate Henry about the true spirit of New Year celebration. The last thing we wanted was our kid seeing the festival as merely a time to receive love and gifts.
We sat Henry down and explained that there were many children that didn’t have toys to play with. Some children didn’t have their mommy or dad for company during the festival because their parents were busy doing their jobs when we were on holiday. We explained that every one of us can be of some help to those in need.
Henry’s eyes shone! “Can we take presents to the firefighters They aren’t allowed to play with all those fire trucks! We can take them toys to play with on New Year’s Day!”
At first we didn’t know how to respond. We had long since forgotten about the model fire trucks at the fire hall! Apparently Henry had not. His dad cleared his throat. “Well, that is a good idea, but they don’t really have time to play with toys because they are too busy keeping us safe during the holiday, just like those policemen and doctors.”
Henry became very serious. He knew his dad was right. Being a firefighter was a very important job.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Or maybe we can bring them something else...” Henry murmured to himself.

But Catherine points out that the Ngogo community lives in a chimp paradise: the resource-rich, well-protected Kibale National Park that also lacks leopards, their main predator. And because the Noggo community is found in the heart of the park, its only neighbors are other chimps — not humans who can expose chimpanzees to viruses that have devastated other communities. “The Ngogo population may be an outlier (局外人) when it comes to the rest of the species,” she cautions.
And there is a question concerning “the grandmother effect”, according to which a grandmother has a decidedly beneficial effect on her children and grandchildren. Chimpanzees do not form long-term pair-bonds and females leave in search of new communities when they reach maturity, which means grandmother chimpanzees likely don’t know who their grandchildren are in the same way humans or even orcas do. What they do after the menopause remains a question of interest. “And that’s all future work to be done.” said Catherine.
8. What can be learned about menopause
A. It is rare among animals. B. It is unique to human beings.
C. It just occurs at the age of 50. D. It is experienced only by females.
9. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Scientist have found the solution to menopause.
B. What happens to the 66 Ngogo females remains a puzzle.
C. There is a puzzle whether chimpanzee females experience menopause.
D. The latest discovery casts new light on the puzzle of animal menopause.
10. Why does Catherine mention the living situation of the Ngogo community
A. To stress the importance of protecting chimpanzees from viruses.
B. To remind researchers of the potential limitation of the new study.
C. To prove that Ngogo chimpanzees are perfect subjects of the study.
D. To argue that the discovery of the new study is completely groundless.
11. How is the last paragraph developed
A. By offering a definition. B. By drawing a conclusion.
C. By presenting relevant facts. D. By giving examples and opinions.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，乌干达基巴莱国家公园的Ngogo黑猩猩群体中的一些雌性在经历更年期后仍然活着，这进一步证明了人类不是唯一经历更年期的物种。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“You can count species other than humans known to experience and outlive menopause on one hand. (除了人类之外，你可以用一只手来计算经历并度过更年期的物种)”可知，更年期在动物是很少见的。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“Studying urine from 66 Ngogo females, aged 14 to 67, showed that their hormone levels changed after approaching 50, confirming they were in menopause. Interestingly, 50 is also the age when many people begin to experience menopause.( 研究了66名年龄在14岁至67岁之间的Ngogo女性黑猩猩的尿液，发现它们的激素水平在接近50岁时发生了变化，证实它们已进入更年期。有趣的是，50岁也是许多人开始经历更年期的年龄)”可知，经过了多年的研究，如今已经证实的是乌干达的Ngogo野生黑猩猩也经历着更年期即确定了该研究的发现结果。由此可知，划线句与D选项“The latest discovery casts new light on the puzzle of animal menopause.(这一最新发现为解开动物更年期之谜提供了新的线索)”意思相近，符合题意。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But Catherine points out that the Ngogo community lives in a chimp paradise: the resource-rich, well-protected Kibale National Park that also lacks leopards, their main predator. (但凯瑟琳指出，Ngogo社区生活在黑猩猩的天堂：资源丰富、保护良好的基巴莱国家公园，那里也没有豹子，豹子是它们的主要捕食者)”以及本段中““The Ngogo population may be an outlier (局外人) when it comes to the rest of the species,” she cautions.( 她警告说：“与其他物种相比，Ngogo种群可能是一个例外。”)”可推知，Catherine提及了黑猩猩们的生活环境说明了它们与其他动物的不同，是为了提醒研究人员这项新研究的潜在局限性。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And there is a question concerning “the grandmother effect”, according to which a grandmother has a decidedly beneficial effect on her children and grandchildren. Chimpanzees do not form long-term pair-bonds and females leave in search of new communities when they reach maturity, which means grandmother chimpanzees likely don’t know who their grandchildren are in the same way humans or even orcas do. (研究中还有一个有关“祖母效应”的问题，即祖母对她的子女和孙子女有明显的积极影响。黑猩猩没有人类或虎鲸那样形成长期夫妻关系，母猩猩在成熟后就离开原来的社区寻找新的社区，这意味着祖母黑猩猩可能并不知道谁是她们的孙子女，与人类或甚至虎鲸不同)”可知，最后一段通过提到相关的事实即黑猩猩与人类在“祖母效应”问题上的不同，阐述了对当前研究结论的质疑。由此推知，最后一段是通过提出相关事实来开展的。故选C。
D
I spoke to my parents last night and for a moment I forgot I wasn’t really speaking to them, but to their digital replicas (复制品). They live inside an app as voice assistants constructed by the company HereAfter AI.
In fact, my parents are still alive and well; their virtual versions were made to help me understand the technology. Grief tech, which lets you “talk” with the people you’ve loved and lost, has been appearing in science fiction. But now it’s becoming a reality. Although the thought of it makes some frightened, it’s not hard to see the appeal that people might turn to digital replicas for comfort.
However, there is one major limitation. These replicas may sound like someone you love, but they know nothing about you. Anyone can talk to them, and get the same reply in the same tone. “The biggest issue with the technology is the idea that you can generate a single universal person,” says Justin Harrison, founder of a technological service.
Creating a virtual avatar you can have more conversation with contributes to your feeling connected to someone you loved and lost, says Erin Thompson, a clinical psychologist. But a grieving person needs to know that these bots can only capture a small part of someone rather than replace healthy, functional human relationships.
And there are other risks. Any service that allows you to create a digital replica of someone without that person’s participation raises complex moral issues. While some might argue that permission is less important with someone who is dead, can’t you also argue that the person who generated the other side of the conversation should have a say too And what if that person is not, in fact, dead
If digital replicas become mainstream, there will inevitably need to be new regulations around what we leave behind online. And we’ll be better off if we cope with the possibility of these replicas’ misuse before, not after, they reach mass adoption.
Anyway, I feel lucky to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with my parents, face to face, no technology involved.
12. Which of the following is not a drawback of digital replicas
A. They can’t vary their response accordingly.
B. They can’t mirror every aspect of a person.
C. They may pose threat to the interests of people alive.
D. It’s hard to gain permission from someone who is not alive.
13. What’s the author’s attitude towards grief tech
A. Favorable. B. Reasonable. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.
14. According to the last two paragraphs, what inspiration did the author draw from his experience
A. Technology is advancing faster than imagined.
B. Safety risks can be surely avoided by regulations.
C. Replicas will not be misused before widely adopted.
D. Cherish the beloved ones when they are still around.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Reflections on grief tech. B. Ways to overcome our grief.
C. Technology to change our life. D. Controversy over digital replicas.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了“悼念科技”（grief tech）这一新兴技术，可以让人与死去的亲人进行对话。虽然这种技术可以在某种程度上带来安慰和联系感，但是也存在很多限制和风险。作者感到庆幸的是，她还有机会和父母面对面地交流，不需要依赖科技。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“These replicas may sound like someone you love, but they know nothing about you. Anyone can talk to them, and get the same reply in the same tone. “The biggest issue with the technology is the idea that you can generate a single universal person,” says Justin Harrison, founder of a technological service.(这些复制品可能听起来像你爱的人，但他们对你一无所知。任何人都可以和他们交谈，并以同样的语气得到同样的答复。一家技术服务公司的创始人贾斯汀 哈里森(Justin Harrison)表示：“这项技术最大的问题在于，你可以创造出一个通用的人。”)”可知，这些数字复制品听起来像你爱的人，但是对你去一无所知，即它们不能反映一个人的方方面面，该信息与B选项相符；同时任何人都可以和他们交谈，并以同样的语气得到同样的答复，即他们不能相应地改变自己的回应，该信息与A选项是一致的；同时根据第五段“While some might argue that permission is less important with someone who is dead, can’t you also argue that the person who generated the other side of the conversation should have a say too And what if that person is not, in fact, dead (虽然有些人可能会说，对一个已经死了的人来说，允许不那么重要，但你难道不能说，发起另一方对话的人也应该有发言权吗？如果那个人实际上并没有死呢？)”可知，复制一个已经了死了的人，并且得到这个人的允许去复制它这是很难的，该信息与D选项相符。C选项“They may pose threat to the interests of people alive.(它们可能对活着的人的利益构成威胁。)”文中并未提及。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Creating a virtual avatar you can have more conversation with contributes to your feeling connected to someone you loved and lost, says Erin Thompson, a clinical psychologist. (临床心理学家艾琳·汤普森(Erin Thompson)说，创建一个可以与你进行更多对话的虚拟化身，有助于让你感觉与你爱过但失去的人有联系。)”以及第三段中“However, there is one major limitation. (然而，有一个主要的限制。)”以及第五段中“And there are other risks.(还有其他风险。)”可知，作者并没有对悼念科技本身提出批判或者赞同的态度，而是从不同的角度来讨论了该技术的优缺点和可能存在的问题。因此，作者对悼念科技的态度是合理的，B选项“reasonable(合理的)”与其相符。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“If digital replicas become mainstream, there will inevitably need to be new regulations around what we leave behind online. (如果数字复制品成为主流，将不可避免地需要对我们在网上留下的东西制定新的规定。)”以及最后一段“Anyway, I feel lucky to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with my parents, face to face, no technology involved.(无论如何，我感到很幸运，我仍然有宝贵的机会和我的父母花更多的时间，面对面，不涉及技术。)”可知，如果数字复制品成为主流，则需要制定和出台大量的新规，因此从作者的角度看，作者是很幸运的因为有很多的宝贵机会和父母面对面的交流，因此面对数字复制品，作者建议当所爱的人还在身边的时候，珍惜他们，把握当下的点点滴滴。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Grief tech, which lets you “talk” with the people you’ve loved and lost, has been appearing in science fiction. But now it’s becoming a reality. Although the thought of it makes some frightened, it’s not hard to see the appeal that people might turn to digital replicas for comfort.(悼念技术，可以让你与你爱过和失去的人“交谈”，已经出现在科幻小说中。但现在它正在成为现实。尽管这种想法让一些人感到害怕，但不难看出人们可能会转向数字复制品寻求安慰的吸引力。)以及下文的讲述可知，文章讨论了“悼念科技”（grief tech）这一新兴技术，可以让人与死去的亲人进行对话。虽然这种技术可以在某种程度上带来安慰和联系感，但是也存在很多限制和风险，比如这些数字复制品没有个性，不会了解你的情况，而且对于没有同意生成数字复制品的人而言也存在道德问题。如果数字复制品得到大规模的应用，我们需要制定相关规定和管理措施。作者感到庆幸的是，她还有机会和父母面对面地交流，不需要依赖科技。A选项“Reflections on grief tech.(关于悼念科技的思考。)”概括文章主题，符合主旨。故选A。

空格处是本段主题句，由空后“Sometimes, your loss might really sting, making Freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. And factors such as mental health and overall wellbeing can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy.(有时候，你的损失可能真的很刺痛，让你觉得自己遥不可及。如果你成长在一个把胜利和自我价值结合在一起的家庭，你可能会把别人的胜利误认为是你自己的缺点。心理健康和整体幸福感等因素也会影响你参与他人快乐的能力)”可知，本段主要讲的是“乐他人之幸”并不容易实现，D选项“While the benefits of Freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily.(虽然“乐他人之幸”的好处很多，但它并不总是来得容易)”说明“乐他人之幸”不容易实现，因此概括了本段内容，可作为主题句，故选D。

【20题详解】

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是汉服的相关情况。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：汉的历史可以追溯到几千年前，汉族的传统服装被称为汉服，其魅力也蓬勃发展了几个世纪。句中谓语是has，空格处用非谓语动词，history和date之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词作后置定语，故填dating。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：汉的历史可以追溯到几千年前，汉族的传统服装被称为汉服，其魅力也蓬勃发展了几个世纪。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，Hanfu和charm之间是所属关系，因此空格处用关系代词whose引导定语从句，故填whose。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：汉服是中华文明的重要载体，以礼仪为核心。carrier是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，important是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。
【39题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：汉服不仅体现了中国人的审美情趣，而且体现了礼仪、宗教和文化的独特意义。not only...but (also)...是固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”，因此空格处是but，故填but。
【40题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：只要人们穿上汉服，他们就应该按照“礼仪”系统的要求行事。空格处引导的是宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，此处表示“只要人们穿上汉服，他们就应该按照“礼仪”系统的要求行事”，因此空格处用what引导宾语从句，故填what。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：一种是上下分开的，另一种是连体衣，把上下衣服连在一起。空格处用one指代前面的type，表示“一种是上下分开的”，与后文的the other相呼应。位于句首，首字母大写，故填One。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：汉服上描绘的阴阳和世间万物，深刻地反映了中国古人对宇宙和自然的认识。句中谓语是reflect，空格处用非谓语动词，The Yin-Yang and all the subjects和picture之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词作后置定语，故填pictured。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：近年来，随着人们对传统文化的热情日益高涨，在旅行或聚会中穿汉服已成为年轻人的一种新趋势。此处表示“随着人们对传统文化的热情日益高涨”，空格处用with表伴随，是with复合结构，故填with。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：近年来，随着人们对传统文化的热情日益高涨，在旅行或聚会中穿汉服已成为年轻人的一种新趋势。由In recent years可知，句子时态用现在完成时，主语wearing是动名词，谓语动词用单数，因此空格处是has become。故填has become。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：汉服的复兴是当代人对中国服饰之美的新探索，也代表了年轻一代对传统文化价值的新认识。new是形容词，修饰名词，recognize的名词是recognition，意为“认识”，是不可数名词，故填recognition。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Robert,
Thank your for your congratulations! Learning that you take interest in the video production process, I’m writing to give you some introduction.
My team first decided on Chinese herbal medicine as the item to explore, after which we assigned each member a task. One of us took charge of collecting materials online, another getting in contact with the factory we were to visit, and I making preparations for video shooting. Under the experts’ guidance, we even went on a field trip to look for herbal medicine in the nearby mountain, gaining first-hand knowledge of herbs. The final step of the video production witnessed a lot of revision and improvements, during which we had repeated discussion. In brief, it was our collective efforts that contributed to our success.
I greatly value the opportunity to team up with my partners and share the happiness of harvest. Besides, I feel extremely honored and proud to promote traditional Chinese culture through my own efforts. Looking forward to more communication with you!
Yours
Li Hua

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was October and we were attending the fire hall’s open house with our five-year-old son Henry. He was especially drawn to the collection of model fire trucks in the large glass display case. The firefighters were more than happy to answer his many questions about each piece of equipment. “When do you get to play with those ” Henry asked the accompanying firefighter.
The firefighter hid his amusement and pretended to be serious as he answered. “We don’t get to play with them. The chief keeps them locked away in that box.”
Henry was lost in thought as we walked home that evening.
With colder weather setting in, our thoughts turned to the upcoming New Year’s Day. It was important to us to educate Henry about the true spirit of New Year celebration. The last thing we wanted was our kid seeing the festival as merely a time to receive love and gifts.
We sat Henry down and explained that there were many children that didn’t have toys to play with. Some children didn’t have their mommy or dad for company during the festival because their parents were busy doing their jobs when we were on holiday. We explained that every one of us can be of some help to those in need.
Henry’s eyes shone! “Can we take presents to the firefighters They aren’t allowed to play with all those fire trucks! We can take them toys to play with on New Year’s Day!”
At first we didn’t know how to respond. We had long since forgotten about the model fire trucks at the fire hall! Apparently Henry had not. His dad cleared his throat. “Well, that is a good idea, but they don’t really have time to play with toys because they are too busy keeping us safe during the holiday, just like those policemen and doctors.”
Henry became very serious. He knew his dad was right. Being a firefighter was a very important job.

【答案】One possible version:
“Or maybe we can bring them something else...” Henry murmured to himself. He tilted his head with a frown of concentration as if racking his brain for a good idea. Suddenly his eyes shone again as he exclaimed in excitement, “Let’s bring them my favorite lollipops!” My husband exchanged amused glances with me and smilingly nodded his approval. Then following Henry’s lead, we started stocking up on lollipops with various flavors. In the process, Henry came up with more gift ideas, with chocolates, hand-made cookies and greeting cards finding their way into our gift list. On New Year’s Day, we set off for the fire hall, where Henry was greeted with a warm welcome. Laughter and warmth filling the hall, I took out my cellphone to capture the memorable moment.
I posted those photos online. Much to my surprise, the photos soon went viral. Henry was showered with praise for his consideration for others. There were post after post expressing appreciation of our deed and determination to do the same. It didn’t take long before we found photos and videos of people carrying out the campaign in their own cities. In one video, a family was sharing lunch with some nurses when an urgent case arose. Despite the unfinished dinner, the nurses dashed without any hesitation to the emergency room. The caption read, “There is no walking on sunshine except someone managing to crack a silver lining in the clouds.” Indeed, those with selfless devotion to duty deserve our kindness and gratitude.
