A
Weddings are one of life’s biggest celebrations, and they are observed in just about every country and culture on the planet. Here are some wedding traditions from around the world.
Scotland
Scottish weddings usually feature the handfasting ceremony. During the ceremony, the bride (新娘) and bridegroom each hold a piece of cloth. These are carefully wound around the couple’s joined hands. When they pull their hands apart, the pieces become tied into a knot (结) — a symbol of the new union.
Germany
Guests at a German wedding get to see an interesting sight: the newly married couple — still dressed in their suit and wedding dress — cutting a length of a tree in half with a two-person saw (锯). In this way, they show their ability to work as a team to face any challenge they will meet in life.
Norway
A Norwegian wedding cake is made up of progressively smaller layers of iced cake rings which give the cake the shape of Christmas tree. The inside is empty and has gifts or even a bottle of wine. The bride and g room lift the top ring of the cake, and the number of layers that stick to it is said to represent the number of children they will have!
England
Brides in England typically wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” for their big day. The modern practice comes from a traditional English song, and the things themselves represent protection, cheerfulness, good luck, and purity, respectively.
Though the customs might vary, the feeling remains the same. Across the world, weddings are times to celebrate love, happiness, and family.
21. Why is a two-person saw used in the German wedding
A. To entertain the wedding guests. B. To mark the couple’s united efforts.
C. To represent the upcoming challenges. D. To keep the couple from hurting each other.
22. In which wedding do brides wear different things to represent different wishes
A. The Scottish wedding. B. The German wedding.
C. The Norwegian wedding. D. The English wedding.
23. What does the text show about wedding
A. Rules to follow. B. Special customs.
C. Ways to treat guests. D. Cultural backgrounds.
B
Ellen Ochoa’s life journey offers an outstanding example of how invention can lead to adventure. She first worked as a creative engineer and went on to become the world’s first Hispanic female astronaut.
Ochoa graduated from San Diego State University in 1980 with a degree in Physics. Mindful of her mother’s stress on the importance of education, she entered graduate school at Stanford University. When Neil Armstrong had first walked on the moon, Ochoa was 11 years old. It never would have hit her then that she too might someday become an astronaut. However, in 1983, when Ochoa was on the way to earning her PhD in Electrical Engineering, Sally Ride became the first female U. S. astronaut. This gave Ochoa the encouragement to aim high. Upon graduation, she applied to NASA to become an astronaut herself.
At Stanford, Ochoa specialized in designing optical (光学) systems that study the objects that they “see”. After graduating, she continued this work at Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Sandia’s work for NASA includes developing optical, computerized recordings and models of events and phenomena (现象) in space. In time, Ochoa became the co-inventor of three optical devices. Later, working at NASA’s Ames Research Center, Ochoa branched off into developing computer systems designed for space exploration. Here she also managed a team of 35 scientists.
Ochoa’s excellence in optics and computer hardware had caught NASA’s attention. In 1990, NASA accepted her into its astronaut training program, and in July 1991, Ochoa became an official U. S. astronaut. Less than two years later, Ochoa flew as a Mission Specialist on a Discovery Space Shuttle Mission.
Ellen Ochoa has won numerous awards for her success as an engineer, an astronaut, and a role model– not just for Hispanic or female ambitious scientists, but for anyone who believes that excellence will finally find its recognition and reward.
24. What inspired Ochoa to have a higher ambition in 1983
A. Her graduation from San Diego State University.
B. Her mother’s stress on further education.
C. Neil Armstrong’s life experience.
D. Sally Ride’s example.
25. What did Ochoa co-invent before becoming an astronaut
A. Optical systems to see the moon. B. Computerized models used in space.
C. Three optical devices. D. Computer systems for management.
26. When was Ochoa’s first visit to space
A. In 1980. B. In 1983. C. In 1991. D. In 1993.
27. What can be learnt through Ochoa’s experiences
A. Creativity starts with an idea.
B. Courage is knowing what not to fear.
C. Follow excellence, and success will come to you.
D. Understand your limitations, and you can remove them.
C
When you’re bored, what do you do The answer is a no-brainer: you reach for your phone. Five minutes of doggy pictures can seem like the perfect break. But a new unpublished study has bad news. Reaching for your phone is likely to leave you feeling more bored.
To figure out the relationship between phones and boredom, the research team set up an app on the phones of 83 volunteers to keep an eye on how often they used their devices. They also asked these volunteers to keep detailed diaries at work, recording their level of tiredness and boredom.
The researchers’ first discovery was no shocker. We’re on our phones a lot. Phone breaks were very frequent: in the 20 minutes following each questionnaire, volunteers picked up their phone 52percent of the time, spending an average of around 90 seconds on it each time. Equally unsurprising was the second finding: the more tired we are, the more likely we are to reach for our phones. The real kicker was the final finding. While we look to our phones to relieve our tiredness and boredom, screen time actually seemed to increase feelings of boredom.
The research team thought about the different reasons why this might be so. Shifting from work to your phone and back again may end up being more tiring in mind than it is stimulating (提神的). In other words, that baby goat video was nice, but not worth the cost to your brain in effort and concentration. Besides, picking up your phone might just serve as a reminder of all the fun and interesting things out there you could be doing if you didn’t have to fill out paperwork.
This one small study can’t clearly say if either of these explanations is right, but the basic takeaway is pretty clear: A quick look at your phone is going to make your brain feel even more fried. If so, what to do instead
28. Why did the research team set up an app on the volunteers’ phones
A. To ensure their rest time. B. To remove their boredom.
C. To track their phone usage. D. To record their tiredness.
29. What do the underlined words “the real kicker” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. The most unexpected. B. The most advanced.
C. The most frequent. D. The most relieving.
30. The baby goat video is mentioned in paragraph 4 to show ________.
A. phones can be tiring B. phones can be inspiring
C. phones can function as a reminder D. phones can benefit our paperwork
31. What might the author continue talking about
A. Why screen time is harmful. B. How to take a better break.
C. Recommended online activities. D. Studies on phone addiction.
D
For long, Preifer Fall Trail (路线) was a most popular attraction in Big Sur. Annually, thousands of people hiked the trail. Unfortunately, the trail, along with stairs, signs, railings, an observation station and wooden bridges, was destroyed in the 2008 Basin Complex Fire. But now a new trail has risen from the burned land.
With its amazing rocky coastline and mountains, Big Sur, the writer Henry Miller once said, is “the face of the earth as the creator intended it to look.” But the landscape always suffers natural disasters. There have been three major wildfires in Big Sur in the past years. “You can still see the impacts there,” said John Hiles, a state parks repair team leader, pointing to black marks 30 feet up a huge redwood.
Parks planners designed a new track, moving the trail out of the river to reduce its impact on the environment. People from the California protection group, state parks department and the nonprofit organization put in 66,000 hours of work over the past four years. They built 160 redwood stairs and dragged hundreds of 16-foot-long redwood sticks by hand to build railings. They removed 4,150 square feet of old building stuff, enough to cover a basketball court. They used iron cables and pulleys (缆线和滑轮) to build a 70-foot long wooden bridge over the hills. “Nature is probably the best place to learn,” Hiles said. “More than any college or school, you learn so many life lessons out here.”
However, the huge Soberanes Fire s wept through the area in 2016, putting a stop to the work. When they began again in 2017, great river storms flooded the area and damaged part of Highway 1. Everybody gathered around this project. They saw the loss. They missed it. They wanted it to come back. They kept combining efforts. It’s been a long journey, but worth the wait.
32. What can we learn about Preifer Fall Trail
A. It is an attraction rebuilt in 2008. B. It met with many natural disasters.
C. It features man-made landscape. D. It is an addition to a previous track.
33. How did the people reduce the impact of the trail on the environment
A. By moving the trail off watercourse. B. By using huge redwood sticks.
C. By recycling the old building stuff. D. By applying iron cables and pulleys.
34. What can best describe the people’s work
A. Limiting and typical. B. Adventurous but smooth.
C. Mysterious and attractive. D. Tough but rewarding.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The rise and fall of a hiking trail. B. California protection projects.
C. The recovery of a lost attraction. D. Journeys into wilderness.

第四部分 读后续写(满分25分)

Maddy and I have been friends since we were babies. The daycare we went to divided kids into groups according to age, and we were together before we could talk.
A year ago, Maddy’s family moved two hours away, and for months I begged my parents to take me for a visit. Finally, last week, my dad had to drive to a meeting in that direction, so we arranged that I’d spend the weekend at Maddy’s.
Maddy and I were so excited and we had three different phone conversations planning the awesome stuff we’d do during our time together, like bike riding and favorite song singing. I even made an official document (文档) titled “Maddy and Angel’s Fun List” to make sure we’d fit in all the fun we could during my visit. I particularly missed the time when we made cookies together.
But plans don’t always work out as expected.
The day I visited Maddy, she greeted me with a hug and said, “Come on. You’re just in time.”
“In time for what ” I asked. “The Cookie Club.” Maddy said and pulled me into her living room. She told me it was the best TV show ever invented and there was a special show going to be on all day long.
“Cool.” I replied, “But we’re not actually going to watch it all day long, right ”
“Of course not,” Maddy took the control and sat on the sofa. “But you have to watch one and see how great it is.”
The first thing I learned about The Cookie Club was that it’s about three kids who happen to live where strange goings-on are always going on. It combines mysteries and cookies-two things fairly impossible not to love. The second thing was that it would attract you to watch more and more episodes (集). You were so busy solving the delicious mystery and forget about anything except the one on the screen. The first day was over but we didn’t manage to do a single thing on our Fun List.

Weddings are one of life’s biggest celebrations, and they are observed in just about every country and culture on the planet. Here are some wedding traditions from around the world.
Scotland
Scottish weddings usually feature the handfasting ceremony. During the ceremony, the bride (新娘) and bridegroom each hold a piece of cloth. These are carefully wound around the couple’s joined hands. When they pull their hands apart, the pieces become tied into a knot (结) — a symbol of the new union.
Germany
Guests at a German wedding get to see an interesting sight: the newly married couple — still dressed in their suit and wedding dress — cutting a length of a tree in half with a two-person saw (锯). In this way, they show their ability to work as a team to face any challenge they will meet in life.
Norway
A Norwegian wedding cake is made up of progressively smaller layers of iced cake rings, which give the cake the shape of Christmas tree. The inside is empty and has gifts or even a bottle of wine. The bride and g room lift the top ring of the cake, and the number of layers that stick to it is said to represent the number of children they will have!
England
Brides in England typically wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” for their big day. The modern practice comes from a traditional English song, and the things themselves represent protection, cheerfulness, good luck, and purity, respectively.
Though the customs might vary, the feeling remains the same. Across the world, weddings are times to celebrate love, happiness, and family.
21. Why is a two-person saw used in the German wedding
A. To entertain the wedding guests. B. To mark the couple’s united efforts.
C. To represent the upcoming challenges. D. To keep the couple from hurting each other.
22. In which wedding do brides wear different things to represent different wishes
A. The Scottish wedding. B. The German wedding.
C. The Norwegian wedding. D. The English wedding.
23. What does the text show about wedding
A. Rules to follow. B. Special customs.
C. Ways to treat guests. D. Cultural backgrounds.

Ellen Ochoa’s life journey offers an outstanding example of how invention can lead to adventure. She first worked as a creative engineer and went on to become the world’s first Hispanic female astronaut.
Ochoa graduated from San Diego State University in 1980 with a degree in Physics. Mindful of her mother’s stress on the importance of education, she entered graduate school at Stanford University. When Neil Armstrong had first walked on the moon, Ochoa was 11 years old. It never would have hit her then that she too might someday become an astronaut. However, in 1983, when Ochoa was on the way to earning her PhD in Electrical Engineering, Sally Ride became the first female U. S. astronaut. This gave Ochoa the encouragement to aim high. Upon graduation, she applied to NASA to become an astronaut herself.
At Stanford, Ochoa specialized in designing optical (光学) systems that study the objects that they “see”. After graduating, she continued this work at Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Sandia’s work for NASA includes developing optical, computerized recordings and models of events and phenomena (现象) in space. In time, Ochoa became the co-inventor of three optical devices. Later, working at NASA’s Ames Research Center, Ochoa branched off into developing computer systems designed for space exploration. Here she also managed a team of 35 scientists.
Ochoa’s excellence in optics and computer hardware had caught NASA’s attention. In 1990 NASA accepted her into its astronaut training program, and in July 1991, Ochoa became an official U. S. astronaut. Less than two years later, Ochoa flew as a Mission Specialist on a Discovery Space Shuttle Mission.
Ellen Ochoa has won numerous awards for her success as an engineer, an astronaut, and a role model– not just for Hispanic or female ambitious scientists, but for anyone who believes that excellence will finally find its recognition and reward.
24. What inspired Ochoa to have a higher ambition in 1983
A. Her graduation from San Diego State University.
B. Her mother’s stress on further education.
C. Neil Armstrong’s life experience.
D. Sally Ride’s example.
25. What did Ochoa co-invent before becoming an astronaut
A. Optical systems to see the moon. B. Computerized models used in space.
C. Three optical devices. D. Computer systems for management.
26. When was Ochoa’s first visit to space
A. In 1980. B. In 1983. C. In 1991. D. In 1993.
27. What can be learnt through Ochoa’s experiences
A. Creativity starts with an idea.
B. Courage is knowing what not to fear.
C. Follow excellence, and success will come to you.
D. Understand your limitations, and you can remove them.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述Ellen Ochoa的生活经历是一个出色的例子，说明发明可以引领冒险。她首先成为一名有创造力的工程师，然后成为世界上第一位西班牙裔女宇航员。Ellen Ochoa因其在光学和计算机硬件方面的卓越表现而受到NASA的关注，并于1990年被接纳进入宇航员培训计划。Ellen Ochoa赢得了许多奖项，成为了工程师、宇航员和榜样的成功典范。

This gave Ochoa the encouragement to aim high. Upon graduation, she applied to NASA to become an astronaut herself. (然而，1983年，当Ochoa在攻读电气工程学位博士时，萨莉·里德成为第一位美国女字航员。这鼓励了Ellen Ochoa树立远大目标。毕业后，她向美国国家航空航天局申请成为一名字航员。)”可知，Sally Ride的例子激励了Ellen Ochoa在1983年有了更高的抱负，故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In time, Ochoa became the co-inventor of three optical devices. (随着时间的推移，Ochoa成为了三种光学设备的共同发明人。)”可知，Ochoa在成为宇航员之前共同发明了三个光学装置。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题，根据倒数第二段“In 1990, NASA accepted her into its astronaut training program, and in July 1991, Ochoa became an official U. S. astronaut. Less than two years later, Ochoa flew as a Mission Specialist on a Discovery Space Shuttle Mission.(1990年，美国国家航空航天局接受她参加宇航员培训项目，1991年7月，Ochoa成为美国正式宇航员。不到两年后，Ochoa作为任务专家参加了发现号航天飞机任务。)”可知，在1993年Ochoa第一次访问太空。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题，根据最后一段的“Ellen Ochoa has won numerous awards for her success as an engineer, an astronaut, and a role model– not just for Hispanic or female ambitious scientists, but for anyone who believes that excellence will finally find its recognition and reward. (Ellen Ochoa因其作为工程师、宇航员和榜样的成功而赢得了无数奖项——不仅是西班牙裔或女性雄心勃勃的科学家，也是任何相信卓越最终会得到认可和奖励的人。)”可知，Ochoa的经历让人们知道追求卓越，成功就会降临到你身上。故选C。

When you’re bored, what do you do The answer is a no-brainer: you reach for your phone. Five minutes of doggy pictures can seem like the perfect break. But a new unpublished study has bad news. Reaching for your phone is likely to leave you feeling more bored.
To figure out the relationship between phones and boredom, the research team set up an app on the phones of 83 volunteers to keep an eye on how often they used their devices. They also asked these volunteers to keep detailed diaries at work, recording their level of tiredness and boredom.
The researchers’ first discovery was no shocker. We’re on our phones a lot. Phone breaks were very frequent: in the 20 minutes following each questionnaire, volunteers picked up their phone 52percent of the time, spending an average of around 90 seconds on it each time. Equally unsurprising was the second finding: the more tired we are, the more likely we are to reach for our phones. The real kicker was the final finding. While we look to our phones to relieve our tiredness and boredom, screen time actually seemed to increase feelings of boredom.
The research team thought about the different reasons why this might be so. Shifting from work to your phone and back again may end up being more tiring in mind than it is stimulating (提神的). In other words, that baby goat video was nice, but not worth the cost to your brain in effort and concentration. Besides, picking up your phone might just serve as a reminder of all the fun and interesting things out there you could be doing if you didn’t have to fill out paperwork.
This one small study can’t clearly say if either of these explanations is right, but the basic takeaway is pretty clear: A quick look at your phone is going to make your brain feel even more fried. If so, what to do instead
28. Why did the research team set up an app on the volunteers’ phones
A. To ensure their rest time. B. To remove their boredom.
C. To track their phone usage. D. To record their tiredness.
29. What do the underlined words “the real kicker” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. The most unexpected. B. The most advanced.
C. The most frequent. D. The most relieving.
30. The baby goat video is mentioned in paragraph 4 to show ________.
A. phones can be tiring B. phones can be inspiring
C. phones can function as a reminder D. phones can benefit our paperwork
31. What might the author continue talking about
A. Why screen time is harmful. B. How to take a better break.
C. Recommended online activities. D. Studies on phone addiction.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的未发表的研究表明，在无聊时看手机会让你感到更无聊。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“To figure out the relationship between phones and boredom, the research team set up an app on the phones of 83 volunteers to keep an eye on how often they used their devices.(为了弄清楚手机和无聊之间的关系，研究团队在83名志愿者的手机上安装了一个应用程序，以跟踪他们使用设备的频率)”可知，研究小组在志愿者的手机上安装了一个应用程序是为了跟踪他们的电话使用情况，故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语上文“The researchers’ first discovery was no shocker. We’re on our phones a lot. Equally unsurprising was the second finding: the more tired we are, the more likely we are to reach for our phones.(研究人员的第一个发现并不令人震惊，我们经常使用手机。同样不足为奇的是第二个发现：我们越累，我们就越有可能伸手去拿手机。)”可知，前两个发现——我们经常使用手机；我们越累，我们就越有可能伸手去拿手机，这都是很常见的，不足为奇的，根据划线短语所在句子“The real kicker was the final finding. While we look to our phones to relieve our tiredness and boredom, screen time actually seemed to increase feelings of boredom.(The real kicker是最终的发现。当我们通过手机来缓解疲劳和无聊时，屏幕时间实际上似乎增加了无聊感。)”可知，最后一个发现与前两个发现大大不同——当我们通过手机来缓解疲劳和无聊时，屏幕时间实际上似乎增加了无聊感，这个发现是令人惊讶的，出乎意料的，划线短语The real kicker与Equally unsurprising是相对的。由此可知，划线短语意为“最出乎意料的”，与“The most unexpected.(最意想不到的。)”一样，故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Shifting from work to your phone and back again may end up being more tiring in mind than it is stimulating (提神的). In other words, that baby goat video was nice, but not worth the cost to your brain in effort and concentration.(从工作转移到手机上然后再从手机上转移到工作上可能最终会让人感到更累而不是刺激。换句话说，那个小山羊视频很不错，但不值得你的大脑付出精力和注意力的代价)”可推知，第四段提到小羊视频是为了展示玩手机会让人更累，故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This one small study can’t clearly say if either of these explanations is right, but the basic takeaway is pretty clear: A quick look at your phone is going to make your brain feel even more fried. If so, what to do instead (这项小型研究无法清楚地表明这两种解释是否正确，但基本的结论非常明确：快速浏览手机会让你的大脑感觉更加疲惫。如果是这样，该怎么办？)”可知，文章接下来会讲我们应该怎么办，也就是该如何更好地休息，故选B。
D
For long, Preifer Fall Trail (路线) was a most popular attraction in Big Sur. Annually, thousands of people hiked the trail. Unfortunately, the trail, along with stairs, signs, railings, an observation station and wooden bridges, was destroyed in the 2008 Basin Complex Fire. But now a new trail has risen from the burned land.
With its amazing rocky coastline and mountains, Big Sur, the writer Henry Miller once said, is “the face of the earth as the creator intended it to look.” But the landscape always suffers natural disasters. There have been three major wildfires in Big Sur in the past years. “You can still see the impacts there,” said John Hiles, a state parks repair team leader, pointing to black marks 30 feet up a huge redwood.
Parks planners designed a new track, moving the trail out of the river to reduce its impact on the environment. People from the California protection group, state parks department and the nonprofit organization put in 66,000 hours of work over the past four years. They built 160 redwood stairs and dragged hundreds of 16-foot-long redwood sticks by hand to build railings. They removed 4,150 square feet of old building stuff, enough to cover a basketball court. They used iron cables and pulleys (缆线和滑轮) to build a 70-foot long wooden bridge over the hills. “Nature is probably the best place to learn,” Hiles said. “More than any college or school, you learn so many life lessons out here.”
However, the huge Soberanes Fire s wept through the area in 2016, putting a stop to the work. When they began again in 2017, great river storms flooded the area and damaged part of Highway 1. Everybody gathered around this project. They saw the loss. They missed it. They wanted it to come back. They kept combining efforts. It’s been a long journey, but worth the wait.
32. What can we learn about Preifer Fall Trail
A. It is an attraction rebuilt in 2008. B. It met with many natural disasters.
C. It features man-made landscape. D. It is an addition to a previous track.
33. How did the people reduce the impact of the trail on the environment
A. By moving the trail off watercourse. B. By using huge redwood sticks.
C. By recycling the old building stuff. D. By applying iron cables and pulleys.
34. What can best describe the people’s work
A. Limiting and typical. B. Adventurous but smooth.
C. Mysterious and attractive. D. Tough but rewarding.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The rise and fall of a hiking trail. B. California protection projects.
C. The recovery of a lost attraction. D. Journeys into wilderness.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】

第四部分 读后续写(满分25分)
76. 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。
Maddy and I have been friends since we were babies. The daycare we went to divided kids into groups according to age, and we were together before we could talk.
A year ago, Maddy’s family moved two hours away, and for months I begged my parents to take me for a visit. Finally, last week, my dad had to drive to a meeting in that direction, so we arranged that I’d spend the weekend at Maddy’s.
Maddy and I were so excited and we had three different phone conversations planning the awesome stuff we’d do during our time together, like bike riding and favorite song singing. I even made an official document (文档) titled “Maddy and Angel’s Fun List” to make sure we’d fit in all the fun we could during my visit. I particularly missed the time when we made cookies together.
But plans don’t always work out as expected.
The day I visited Maddy, she greeted me with a hug and said, “Come on. You’re just in time.”
“In time for what ” I asked. “The Cookie Club.” Maddy said and pulled me into her living room. She told me it was the best TV show ever invented and there was a special show going to be on all day long.
“Cool.” I replied, “But we’re not actually going to watch it all day long, right ”
“Of course not,” Maddy took the control and sat on the sofa. “But you have to watch one and see how great it is.”
The first thing I learned about The Cookie Club was that it’s about three kids who happen to live where strange goings-on are always going on. It combines mysteries and cookies-two things fairly impossible not to love. The second thing was that it would attract you to watch more and more episodes (集). You were so busy solving the delicious mystery and forget about anything except the one on the screen. The first day was over, but we didn’t manage to do a single thing on our Fun List.

It was not until bedtime that we realized we should turn off the TV.

Luckily, we made a wonderful Sunday completing what we chose last night.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was not until bedtime that we realized we should turn off the TV. Maddy was shocked to find we had wasted time and stuck on the screen for the valuable Saturday. “I am sorry to invite you to watch the show.” she said. I replied with smiles, saying, “Never mind. I too was attracted to the delicious mysteries but I would never watch another episode.” We laughed at that and decided to make the most of the resting Sunday. With care and shared wishes, we expected the next day to be spent in our singing together and cooking cookies.
Luckily, we made a wonderful Sunday completing what we chose last night. Picking out the songs we shared interest in, we let our voices spread around the house. Preparing the materials and working with joint efforts, we managed to bring good-looking and delicious-smelling cookies. The day saw our laughter and friendship. When it was time to leave, Maddy gave me a warm hug, “Thank you. Do come next time.” I said “Of course” and invited her to visit my family, too. So next time you want to treasure a friendship formed since childhood, turn off your TV and create quality time together.
