On Christmas Eve─the night before Christmas Day─children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night.
Father Christmas is very kind and hearted. He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney into the fireplace. He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents.
Of course, Father Christmas isn't real. In Jim and Kate's house, "Father Christmas" is really Mr Green. Mr Green doesn't climb down the chimney. He waits until the children are asleep. Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents. When they were very young, Mr Green sometimes wore a red coat. But he doesn't do that now. The children are no longer young, and they know who "Father Christmas" really is. But they still put their stockings at the end of their beds.

For people suffering from depression, there’s an all-natural treatment they should use—getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.
For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.
Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”
Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.
28. How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By analyzing a mass of data.
B. By conducting genetic research.
C. By comparing various levels of activity.
D. By tracking the subjects for many years.
29. What does the study show about depression
A. Physical activity betters medical treatment.
B. Exercise is able to decrease and prevent it.
C. Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same.
D. Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment.
30. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Harmful. B. Unusual.
C. Common. D. Complex.
31. What is the purpose of the text
A. To discuss a disease of depression.
B. To explain a phenomenon of depression.
C. To analyze a genetic risk of depression.
D. To introduce a method to lower the risk of depression.
D
Killer whales(虎鲸), also known as orcas, are known for their severe attacks(攻击) on sea animals but they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.
The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29, 2020, when a 46 foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour by nine orcas, causing the boat to rotate (旋转) 180 degrees and having its engine switched off. Since then, over 30 more similar incidents have been reported. On September 23, 2020, Spain’s government banned boats of less than 50 feet in length from sailing in the 60 mile stretch of the Atlantic coastline between Ferrol and the Estaca de Bares Cape, where the attacks have been occurring.
Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas’ behavior. Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefin tuna—the orcas’ primary food source—which has left the area’s killer whales starving and unable to feed their babies. “I saw them look at boats carrying fish. I think they know humans are somehow related to food shortages,” says Ken Balcomb, senior scientist at the Center for Whale Research in Washington, USA. The environmentalists believe the sudden increase in boat traffic after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring, could also be contributing to the agitation.
However, Alfredo López, a biology professor in Galicia, Spain, thinks the attacks are defensive measures the orcas took to protect themselves against boat injuries. The researcher came to this conclusion after looking at the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries. Hopefully, the experts will be able to find a way to restore the harmony between the animals and the humans soon.
32. What do we know about orcas in paragraph 1
A. They are friendly to humans.
B. They have changed their behavior.
C. They are famous for hunting skills.
D. They have met tough living conditions.
33. Who hold(s) the idea that fishing activities caused the incidents
A. Ken Balcomb. B. The environmentalists.
C. Alfredo López. D. Spain’s government.
34. What do the underlined words “the agitation” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The attacks. B. Food shortages.
C. The overfishing. D. Human activity.
35. What is the main idea of this passage
A. A disagreement between scientists.
B. Possible reasons why killer whales are attacking boats.
C. The results of the change of the behaviors of killer whales.
D. Spanish government’s effort of protecting the fishing boats.

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。
My great-grandmother Eileen is fierce, loyal and strong and a bit of a legend in her own lifetime, which now stretches to 92 years. I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table. “There you go,” she said. “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you ”
It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. I was amazed it was still going.
“Yes,” I said.
“Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home with you and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her.
I grabbed the box and stood up. Setting up the phone would be easy. It was teaching her how to use it that may prove challenging.
The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.”
For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe (滑动屏幕). “What do you mean, swipe ” she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her.
She pressed at the up arrow and got angry when nothing happened. When I finally got her to swipe, she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!”
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry and upset.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said.

On Christmas Eve─the night before Christmas Day─children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night.
Father Christmas is very kind and hearted. He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney into the fireplace. He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents.

Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents. When they were very young, Mr Green sometimes wore a red coat. But he doesn't do that now.

For people suffering from depression, there’s an all-natural treatment they should use—getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.
For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.
Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”
Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.
28. How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By analyzing a mass of data.
B. By conducting genetic research.
C. By comparing various levels of activity.
D. By tracking the subjects for many years.
29. What does the study show about depression
A. Physical activity betters medical treatment.
B Exercise is able to decrease and prevent it.
C. Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same.
D. Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment.
30. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Harmful. B. Unusual.
C. Common. D. Complex.
31. What is the purpose of the text
A. To discuss a disease of depression.
B. To explain a phenomenon of depression.
C. To analyze a genetic risk of depression.
D. To introduce a method to lower the risk of depression.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.(平均而言，每天大约35分钟的额外体育活动可以帮助人们降低患抑郁症的风险，并预防未来的抑郁症发作。)”可知，该研究显示运动能够减少和预防抑郁症。故选B。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段划线词前的句子“Depression is a common mental illness globally (抑郁症是全球常见的精神疾病)”可知，抑郁症是很常见的，划线词ubiquitous的意思是“常见的”，和common意思相近，故选C。

Killer whales(虎鲸), also known as orcas, are known for their severe attacks(攻击) on sea animals but they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.
The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29, 2020, when a 46 foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour by nine orcas, causing the boat to rotate (旋转) 180 degrees and having its engine switched off. Since then, over 30 more similar incidents have been reported. On September 23, 2020, Spain’s government banned boats of less than 50 feet in length from sailing in the 60 mile stretch of the Atlantic coastline between Ferrol and the Estaca de Bares Cape, where the attacks have been occurring.
Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas’ behavior. Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefin tuna—the orcas’ primary food source—which has left the area’s killer whales starving and unable to feed their babies. “I saw them look at boats carrying fish. I think they know humans are somehow related to food shortages,” says Ken Balcomb, senior scientist at the Center for Whale Research in Washington, USA. The environmentalists believe the sudden increase in boat traffic after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring, could also be contributing to the agitation.
However, Alfredo López, a biology professor in Galicia, Spain, thinks the attacks are defensive measures the orcas took to protect themselves against boat injuries. The researcher came to this conclusion after looking at the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries. Hopefully, the experts will be able to find a way to restore the harmony between the animals and the humans soon.
32. What do we know about orcas in paragraph 1
A. They are friendly to humans.
B. They have changed their behavior.
C. They are famous for hunting skills.
D. They have met tough living conditions.
33. Who hold(s) the idea that fishing activities caused the incidents
A. Ken Balcomb. B. The environmentalists.
C. Alfredo López. D. Spain’s government.
34. What do the underlined words “the agitation” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The attacks. B. Food shortages.
C. The overfishing. D. Human activity.
35 What is the main idea of this passage
A. A disagreement between scientists.
B. Possible reasons why killer whales are attacking boats.
C. The results of the change of the behaviors of killer whales.
D. Spanish government’s effort of protecting the fishing boats.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了西班牙和葡萄牙近海区多艘小型渔船遭杀人鲸袭击。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Killer whales(虎鲸), also known as orcas, are known for their severe attacks(攻击) on sea animals but they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.(杀人鲸，又称虎鲸，以其对海洋动物的猛烈攻击而闻名，但它们从未对人类构成威胁。然而，自7月下旬以来，这些通常群居的动物一直在西班牙和葡萄牙海岸附近故意攻击帆船)”可知，虎鲸从前从未伤害过人类。但是最近却开始袭击西班牙和葡萄牙海岸附近的渔船。由此可推断，虎鲸的行为有所改变。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话以及Ken Balcomb所说的话“Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefin tuna—the orcas’ primary food source—which has left the area’s killer whales starving and unable to feed their babies. “I saw them look at boats carrying fish. I think they know humans are somehow related to food shortages,” says Ken Balcomb, senior scientist at the Center for Whale Research in Washington, USA. (一些人认为这可能是由于过度捕捞虎鲸的主要食物来源蓝鳍金枪鱼，导致该地区的虎鲸挨饿，无法喂养它们的宝宝。美国华盛顿鲸鱼研究中心的高级科学家肯·巴尔科姆说：“我看到他们看着载鱼的船。我想他们知道人类与食物短缺有某种关系。”)”可知，Ken Balcomb认为捕鱼活动导致了这些事件。故选A。
【34题详解】
指代猜测题。根据第三段可知，该段主要分析了虎鲸袭击人类渔船的行为的原因。举例说明了有的研究人员认为是人类的过度捕鱼可能导致了虎鲸食物不足，引发了鲸鱼袭击渔船。根据划线单词所在句子的前半部分“The environmentalists believe the sudden increase in boat traffic after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring(环保主义者认为，由于去年春天人类活动受到限制，船上交通在几个月后突然增加)”可知，环保主义者认为去年春天人类活动受到限制，船上交通在几个月后突然增加是导致虎鲸袭击渔船行为的又一个原因。所以换线单词指“那些袭击事件”。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.”（然而，自7月下旬以来，这种通常群居的动物在西班牙和葡萄牙海岸故意袭击帆船。）文章主要介绍虎鲸袭击渔船的异常行为以及分析了各种有可能引发虎鲸异常行为的原因。故选B。

The Importance of Getting Kids to Be Active
Everyone knows that kids should be physically active and need to exercise regularly to be physically fit. ____36____, regular physical activity is considered by most experts to be an important part of a healthy lifestyle. However, that doesn’t mean every child needs to spend four or five hours a day exercising.
How Much Exercise Do Kids Need
It is recommended that kids should be physically active for at least 60 minutes per day. ____37____. For example, if your eight-year-old played soccer for 20 minutes during PE at school and then played basketball with his friends for 40 minutes after school, he would meet the recommendation of 60 minutes of physical activity for that day.
Exercise and Calories
____38____. It can help them build self-respect, sleep better, have more energy, and reduce depression. And as most people know, along with a healthy diet, regular exercise is the best way to lose weight and prevent childhood obesity (肥胖). Since your child is not likely to get his exercise using exercise equipment, it can be hard to always tell how many calories he is burning while exercising. ____39____, as long as your child is getting his 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day and maintaining a healthy diet.
Youth Exercise and Fitness
Remember that kids, even teens, don’t usually stick with exercise programs. ____40____. Instead, kids do better with lifestyle exercise programs, such as active free play and organized team sports.
A. Fortunately, it doesn’t matter
B. Regular exercise is good for kids
C. So they will be able to burn even more calories
D. That’s why you don’t see many kids in health clubs
E. Whether they are overweight or at a healthy weight
F. If your child is very active and is still gaining weight
G. But that doesn’t have to be 60 minutes of continuous activity
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. B 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了让孩子进行体育锻炼的重要性，并给出一些有效建议。
【36题详解】
上文“Everyone knows that kids should be physically active and need to exercise regularly to be physically fit.(每个人都知道孩子应该积极锻炼身体，需要定期锻炼身体健康)”讲述人们都知道让孩子积极锻炼身体的好处，下文“regular physical activity is considered by most experts to be an important part of a healthy lifestyle.(大多数专家都认为，经常进行体育活动是健康生活方式的重要组成部分)”还是讲述体育锻炼是重要的，分析句子可知，空格处应是从句，从E，F中选中，比较可知，E项“无论他们是超重的还是有一个健康的体重”符合语境，引导让步状语从句，强调体育锻炼的重要性。故选E。
【37题详解】
上文“It is recommended that kids should be physically active for at least 60 minutes per day.(建议孩子们每天至少要锻炼60分钟。)”表明建议锻炼时长为60分钟，结合下文“For example, if your eight-year-old played soccer for 20 minutes during PE at school and then played basketball with his friends for 40 minutes after school, he would meet the recommendation of 60 minutes of physical activity for that day.(例如，如果你8岁的孩子在学校的体育中踢了20分钟的足球，然后在放学后和朋友们打了40分钟的篮球，他会满足当天60分钟的体育活动。)”可知，60分钟的锻炼可以不是连续的，因此推断G项“但并不需要60分钟的持续活动”符合语境。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据下文“It can help them build self-respect, sleep better, have more energy, and reduce depression. And as most people know, along with a healthy diet, regular exercise is the best way to lose weight and prevent childhood obesity (肥胖).(它可以帮助他们建立自尊，更好地睡眠，有更多的精力，减少抑郁。大多数人都知道，除了健康饮食，定期锻炼是减肥和预防儿童肥胖的最好方法。)”讲述了定期锻炼对孩子们的好处，因此推断B项“定期锻炼对孩子是有好处的”符合语境。故选B。
【39题详解】
上文“Since your child is not likely to get his exercise using exercise equipment, it can be hard to always tell how many calories he is burning while exercising.(因为你的孩子不太可能使用运动设备进行锻炼，所以很难总是能判断出他在锻炼时燃烧了多少卡路里)”讲述了判断孩子锻炼燃烧了多少卡路里是困难的，下文“as long as your child is getting his 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day and maintaining a healthy diet.(只要你的孩子每天有60分钟或更多的体育活动，并保持健康的饮食)”说明只要锻炼就有好处，因此推断不能判断燃烧多少卡路里不重要，因此推断A项“幸运的是，它不重要的”符合语境。故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“Remember that kids, even teens, don’t usually stick with exercise programs.(请记住，孩子们，甚至是青少年，通常都不会坚持锻炼计划。)”讲述孩子们很难坚持锻炼计划，下文“Instead, kids do better with lifestyle exercise programs, such as active free play and organized team sports.(相反，孩子们通过生活方式锻炼更好，比如积极的自由玩耍和有组织的团队运动)”说明孩子通过日常活动锻炼更好，由instead可知，空处与下文相反，因此推断D项“这就是为什么你在健康俱乐部里看不到很多孩子的原因”符合语境，与上文是因果关系，“in health club”与下文的“active free play and organized team sports”相对，故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者学习法语的经历。
【56题详解】
考查时态。句意：这是前三年的必修课，后来我选择继续学习，因为我喜欢它，觉得它很有趣，而且很擅长。句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填chose。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这是前三年的必修课，后来我选择继续学习，因为我喜欢它，觉得它很有趣，而且很擅长。此处是用形容词作find的宾语补足语，“我”觉得法语是有趣的，it指代的是“法语”，用ing结尾的形容词interesting修饰it，interesting意为“有趣的”，故填interesting。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意：课后我定期练习听课程录音。修饰动词practiced要用副词regularly，意为“定期地”，故填regularly。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意：每当我遇到不熟悉的单词，我就会把它们弄明白。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词words，由“I would figure them out”可知， 句子表示“每当我遇到不熟悉的单词，我就会把它们弄明白”，空格处意为“不熟悉的”，形容词是unfamiliar，故填unfamiliar。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在上大学之前，我在法国南部的一个农场工作了三个月。farm是可数名词，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，farm是辅音音素开头，不定冠词用a，故填a。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：这使我的法语变得相当流利，并掌握了大量与农业有关的词汇。be related to是固定短语，意为“和……有关”，因此空格处是介词to，故填to。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：法语在摩洛哥被用作第二语言，在许多游客游览的地方也是如此。此空所在的句子是个定语从句，先行词是places，指物，关系词在从句中做主语，因此用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【63题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：2009年9月，我在Bangor参加了几个法语对话小组，从那以后我就一直去他们那里，这对提高我的法语口语很有帮助。该空前有a couple of（几个）修饰，名词要用复数形式，故填groups。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意：2009年9月，我在Bangor参加了几个法语对话小组，从那以后我就一直去他们那里，这对提高我的法语口语很有帮助。空格处用形容词作表语，根据语境可知，句子表示“这对提高我的法语口语很有帮助”，空格处意为“有帮助的”，形容词是helpful。故填helpful。
【65题详解】
考查不定式。句意：所以我下定决心要提高它。make up one’s mind to do是固定短语，意为“下定决心做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to improve。故填to improve。

【答案】Dear Peter,
How time flies! My senior school life begins.
It has been about two months since I came to my school, whose environment left a deep impression on me. First of all, the teaching buildings are tidy and clean with a computer equipped in every classroom, in which we students can study happily and attentively. In addition, libraries, labs as well as playgrounds are also suitable for the balanced development of students. Besides, all my classmates are hard-working and ready to help others when someone is in trouble. Although there is more knowledge and we are supposed to study harder and develop good studying habits, we all have confidence in making great progress.
In a word, I have adapted to my life in high school. There is no doubt that I will make more efforts to learn hard. Only in this way can I be admitted into my ideal university.
Yours
Lihua

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。
My great-grandmother Eileen is fierce, loyal and strong and a bit of a legend in her own lifetime, which now stretches to 92 years. I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table. “There you go,” she said. “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you ”
It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. I was amazed it was still going.
“Yes,” I said.
“Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home with you and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her.
I grabbed the box and stood up Setting up the phone would be easy. It was teaching her how to use it that may prove challenging.
The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.”
For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe (滑动屏幕). “What do you mean, swipe ” she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her.
She pressed at the up arrow and got angry when nothing happened. When I finally got her to swipe, she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!”
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry and upset.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. “This time I’ll hold your finger and show you how much pressure to use. Guess what, it took me a while to get the hang of swiping.” added I. I held her finger gently and her face lit up when the menu appeared. “I want a selfie with you. Show me how to use the camera!” My heart sank a bit, but she didn’t need a lot of help and we sent her friend Emily a photo of us both laughing. “I can’t wait to show everyone my new phone,” she said happily. “Thank you for your patience, Tom.”
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. Great-grandma’s spirit inspired me greatly. It occurred to me that if a 92-year-old lady could learn new skills, then so could I. I had no doubt that I would find something I liked even more. There must be a job out there for me somewhere and I was sure to find it. I headed for home with a smile on my face and a whole lot of love for my amazing great-grandmother. My great-grandmother would always be a role model for me to learn from.
