On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating email from a high school friend. inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes.
The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves.
As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a- lifetime journey.
Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth.
Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow.
The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭).
Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air.
Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on.
While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.
24．What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal
A．The opportunity to improve existing skills.
B．The need to reconnect with a high school friend.
C．The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal.
D．The desire to embrace a challenge and learn a new skill.
25．Which of the following words best describe the author’s surfing experience
A．Tough but rewarding. B．Boring and uneventful.
C．Difficult and frustrating. D．Relaxing but unpredictable.
26．What can be inferred about the author
A．She used to lack confidence in herself. B．She became more willing to take risks.
C．She went on to become an expert surfer. D．She discovered the surfing was her true calling.
27．What wisdom did the author gain from the experience with surfing
A．The value of pushing your limits and trying new things.
B．The need to seek professional training in all new skills.
C．The benefit of traveling with unknown companions.
D．The importance of being an expert in one field.
C
You may have read that light coming into your eyes sets the body’s clock. Similarly, food changes the clocks in tissues in your liver, muscles, and fat. Human beings developed to eat only during daylight, which lasted 12 hours. That meant we didn’t eat for 12 hours a day. Sticking to that plan may help you stay healthier as well as thinner. However, it’s a surprisingly bad idea to ignore breakfast, eat lunch or dinner late, eat a big bedtime snack, or eat in the middle of the night.
In a study with 776 participants, people who ignored breakfast were 80 percent more likely to have obesity (肥胖症). People who ate lunch after 12:30 (or dinner after 21:00) were 60 percent more likely to have those extra pounds. That was true for both men and women at different ages and regardless of other factors that affect weight including your diet and exercise habits.
Odd hours seem to contribute to uncontrollable eating. When you eat late at night, you tend to eat more. Perhaps driven by hormone (荷尔蒙) increases, we long for sweeter, saltier food at night, research suggests. In one study, night eaters ate about 300 more calories each day.
“Eating late in the day aggravates reflux, writes Jamie A．Koufman, who specializes in voice disorders and acid reflux (胃酸倒流). Many of my patients find that eating late makes them suffer more from their allergies and diabetes symptoms,” he says. “Give your stomach at least three hours to digest before sleeping,” advises Jonathan Aviv, another specialist in acid reflux.
Eating breakfast late may also increase your breast cancer risk by about 17 percent for every hour you delay, according to a study of nearly 1,200 women with breast cancer in Spain, compared to more than 1,300 women who didn’t develop breast cancer. If you eat late at night, another research suggests, you may up the chance of breast cancer occurrence. While researchers work out the details of how our body clocks affect digestion and their downstream effects, one point is clear: Early is better.
28．What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A．What you eat makes no difference to your clocks.
B．Not eating for a half day may do good to your health.
C．Eating late may be more harmful than ignoring breakfast.
D．People gain weight because of their diet and exercise habits.
29．What does the underlined word “aggravates” probably mean
A．Worsens. B．Comforts. C．Causes D．Improves.
30．How is the result found in the text
A．By experimenting on people of different ages.
B．By summarizing the data from various surveys.
C．By comparing the studies about the eating disorder.
D．By concluding some researches concerning eating habits.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Ignore Breakfast to Lose Weight. B．Night Eaters Are Much Healthier.
C．Eating Late Is Really Bad for You. D．Eating More Damages Body Clock.
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”
While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.
32．How does the AI predict earthquakes
A．By identifying data from the satellites.
B．By analyzing background sounds in the Earth.
C．By modeling data based on earthquake recordings.
D．By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
33．What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph3
A．The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.
B．The importance of preparing for earthquakes.
C．The significance of developing the AI prediction.
D．The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction.
34．What does the follow-up research focus on
A．Conducting tests in different locations. B．Applying the AI approach to other fields.
C．Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D．Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy.
35．Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology
A．Stable but outdated. B．Effective but costly.
C．Potential and economical. D．Advanced and promising.

When something goes wrong, do you tend to bounce back or fall apart When you have resilience (恢复力), you have the inner strength that helps you rebound from a setback or challenge. 36 Here are some skills to help you develop resilience.
Realize it’s normal. Less than 20 percent of people successfully achieve their goal the first time around. It’s normal and expected for setbacks to occur. 37 Knowing this, it’s important to anticipate that the main task will be how to effectively manage the setback when it arises.
Learn from the past. 38 Think about what has helped you through tough times. You can even write about past events in a journal to help you see the patterns of how you behave and to help guide you in the future.
39 Tend to your own needs and feelings. Do activities and hobbies you enjoy. Include physical activity in your daily routine. Get plenty of sleep and make bedtime rituals. Eat a healthy diet. Practice how to manage stress. Try ways to relax, such as yoga, meditation, guided imagery, deep breathing or prayer.
Take action. Don’t ignore your problems. 40 It can take time to recover from a major setback, trauma or loss. But know that your life can improve if you work at it.
A．Take care of yourself.
B．Make every day have meaning.
C．Think of how you’ve coped with troubles in the past.
D．Connect with others by joining a faith or spiritual group.
E．Instead, figure out what you need to do, make a plan and take action.
F．In other words, it’s not about whether a challenge will happen, but when.
G．If you lack resilience, you might get stuck on problems or feel like a victim.

“I’m going to miss you so much, Poppy,” said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions(情绪) get the better of him.
His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. “I guess this is it,” he said. “I’ll see you back home in a month, okay ” His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy’s mother turned to the dog, “Okay, Poppy, time to go back home.”
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn’t seem interested in her dinner, her favourite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit. Poppy didn’t.
They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn’t her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried. “What should we do to cheer Poppy up ” asked Dad. “We’ve tried everything.”
“I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy,” smiled Mom. “Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let’s get a little dog for Poppy.”
It didn’t take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual, but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging(摆动)ever so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.

On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating email from a high school friend. inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes.
The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves.
As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a- lifetime journey.
Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth.
Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow.
The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭).
Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air.
Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on.
While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.
24．What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal
A．The opportunity to improve existing skills.
B．The need to reconnect with a high school friend.
C．The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal.
D．The desire to embrace a challenge and learn a new skill.
25．Which of the following words best describe the author’s surfing experience
A．Tough but rewarding. B．Boring and uneventful.
C．Difficult and frustrating. D．Relaxing but unpredictable.
26．What can be inferred about the author
A．She used to lack confidence in herself. B．She became more willing to take risks.
C．She went on to become an expert surfer. D．She discovered the surfing was her true calling.
27．What wisdom did the author gain from the experience with surfing
A．The value of pushing your limits and trying new things.
B．The need to seek professional training in all new skills.
C．The benefit of traveling with unknown companions.
D．The importance of being an expert in one field.

You may have read that light coming into your eyes sets the body’s clock. Similarly, food changes the clocks in tissues in your liver, muscles, and fat. Human beings developed to eat only during daylight, which lasted 12 hours. That meant we didn’t eat for 12 hours a day. Sticking to that plan may help you stay healthier as well as thinner. However, it’s a surprisingly bad idea to ignore breakfast, eat lunch or dinner late, eat a big bedtime snack, or eat in the middle of the night.
In a study with 776 participants, people who ignored breakfast were 80 percent more likely to have obesity (肥胖症). People who ate lunch after 12:30 (or dinner after 21:00) were 60 percent more likely to have those extra pounds. That was true for both men and women at different ages and regardless of other factors that affect weight including your diet and exercise habits.
Odd hours seem to contribute to uncontrollable eating. When you eat late at night, you tend to eat more. Perhaps driven by hormone (荷尔蒙) increases, we long for sweeter, saltier food at night, research suggests. In one study, night eaters ate about 300 more calories each day.
“Eating late in the day aggravates reflux, writes Jamie A．Koufman, who specializes in voice disorders and acid reflux (胃酸倒流). Many of my patients find that eating late makes them suffer more from their allergies and diabetes symptoms,” he says. “Give your stomach at least three hours to digest before sleeping,” advises Jonathan Aviv, another specialist in acid reflux.
Eating breakfast late may also increase your breast cancer risk by about 17 percent for every hour you delay, according to a study of nearly 1,200 women with breast cancer in Spain, compared to more than 1,300 women who didn’t develop breast cancer. If you eat late at night, another research suggests, you may up the chance of breast cancer occurrence. While researchers work out the details of how our body clocks affect digestion and their downstream effects, one point is clear: Early is better.
28．What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A．What you eat makes no difference to your clocks.
B．Not eating for a half day may do good to your health.
C．Eating late may be more harmful than ignoring breakfast.
D．People gain weight because of their diet and exercise habits.
29．What does the underlined word “aggravates” probably mean
A．Worsens. B．Comforts. C．Causes D．Improves.
30．How is the result found in the text
A．By experimenting on people of different ages.
B．By summarizing the data from various surveys.
C．By comparing the studies about the eating disorder.
D．By concluding some researches concerning eating habits.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Ignore Breakfast to Lose Weight. B．Night Eaters Are Much Healthier.
C．Eating Late Is Really Bad for You. D．Eating More Damages Body Clock.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了太晚吃东西对身体的危害，并通过相关研究结果加以佐证。
【详情解析】
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Human beings developed to eat only during daylight, which lasted 12 hours. That meant we didn’t eat for 12 hours a day. Sticking to that plan may help you stay healthier as well as thinner. (人类进化到只在白昼进食，白昼持续12小时。这意味着我们一天中有12个小时不吃东西。坚持这个计划可以帮助你保持健康和苗条)”可知，半天不吃东西可能对你的健康有好处。故选B。
29．词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“Many of my patients find that eating late makes them suffer more from their allergies and diabetes symptoms (我的许多病人发现，吃得晚会让他们更容易出现过敏和糖尿病症状)”可知，吃得晚会让病人更容易出现病症，此处是介绍吃得晚的坏处。由此推知，这会让胃酸反流恶化，画线词意思是“使恶化”。故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据第二段中“In a study with 776 participants, people who ignored breakfast were 80 percent more likely to have obesity (肥胖症). People who ate lunch after 12:30 (or dinner after 21:00) were 60 percent more likely to have those extra pounds. (在一项有776名参与者的研究中，不吃早餐的人患肥胖症的可能性要高出80%。在12:30之后吃午餐（或21:00之后吃晚餐）的人体重增加的可能性要高出60%)”、第三段中“In one study, night eaters ate about 300 more calories each day. (在一项研究中，晚上吃东西的人每天多摄入300卡路里)”以及最后一段中“Eating breakfast late may also increase your breast cancer risk by about 17 percent for every hour you delay, according to a study of nearly 1,200 women with breast cancer in Spain, compared to more than 1,300 women who didn’t develop breast cancer. (根据一项对西班牙近1200名乳腺癌女性的研究，晚吃早餐也可能会使你患乳腺癌的风险增加17%，而没有患乳腺癌的女性则有1300多名)”可知，这些有关饮食习惯的研究都表明吃得晚对健康有害，文章的结论是在总结这些研究的基础上得出的。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, it’s a surprisingly bad idea to ignore breakfast, eat lunch or dinner late, eat a big bedtime snack, or eat in the middle of the night. (然而，不吃早餐、午餐或晚餐吃得很晚、睡前吃很多零食或在半夜吃东西，这是一个非常糟糕的主意)”，再结合文章主要说明了太晚吃东西对身体的危害，并通过各种研究结果加以佐证可知，C选项“吃得晚真的对你不好”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”
While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.
32．How does the AI predict earthquakes
A．By identifying data from the satellites.
B．By analyzing background sounds in the Earth.
C．By modeling data based on earthquake recordings.
D．By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
33．What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph3
A．The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.
B．The importance of preparing for earthquakes.
C．The significance of developing the AI prediction.
D．The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction.
34．What does the follow-up research focus on
A．Conducting tests in different locations. B．Applying the AI approach to other fields.
C．Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D．Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy.
35．Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology
A．Stable but outdated. B．Effective but costly.
C．Potential and economical. D．Advanced and promising.

When something goes wrong, do you tend to bounce back or fall apart When you have resilience (恢复力), you have the inner strength that helps you rebound from a setback or challenge. 36 Here are some skills to help you develop resilience.
Realize it’s normal. Less than 20 percent of people successfully achieve their goal the first time around. It’s normal and expected for setbacks to occur. 37 Knowing this, it’s important to anticipate that the main task will be how to effectively manage the setback when it arises.
Learn from the past. 38 Think about what has helped you through tough times. You can even write about past events in a journal to help you see the patterns of how you behave and to help guide you in the future.
39 Tend to your own needs and feelings. Do activities and hobbies you enjoy. Include physical activity in your daily routine. Get plenty of sleep and make bedtime rituals. Eat a healthy diet. Practice how to manage stress. Try ways to relax, such as yoga, meditation, guided imagery, deep breathing or prayer.
Take action. Don’t ignore your problems. 40 It can take time to recover from a major setback, trauma or loss. But know that your life can improve if you work at it.
A．Take care of yourself.
B．Make every day have meaning.
C．Think of how you’ve coped with troubles in the past.
D．Connect with others by joining a faith or spiritual group.
E．Instead, figure out what you need to do, make a plan and take action.
F．In other words, it’s not about whether a challenge will happen, but when.

【语篇解读】
本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了丝绸之路的历史与发展。
【详情解析】
56．考查冠词。句意：丝绸之路是古代贸易路线的网络，从东亚延伸到地中海，覆盖了广阔的距离和惊人的景观。a variety of表示“各种各样的”，本句中astonishing为元音发音开头。填不定冠词an。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：丝绸之路是古代贸易路线的网络，从东亚延伸到地中海，覆盖了广阔的距离和惊人的景观。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入非谓语动词；此处extend的意思为延伸，与the Silk Road之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填extending。
58．考查非限制性定语从句。句意：广泛的丝绸之路网络的一个关键部分是长安—天山走廊，它延伸了大约5000公里的距离，覆盖了8700公里的贸易路线。分析句子结构可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句的连接词，此处考查非限制从句中缺少主语而且指代Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor，所以用which。故填which。
59．考查时态。句意：张骞，皇帝指派的使节，从长安到中亚旅行。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词，本文描述的是过去的事情，因此用一般过去时。故填journeyed。
60．考查被动语态与主谓一致。句意：为了在当时的主要大国之间建立桥梁，张骞开辟了几条路线，其路线网络最远可达罗马帝国。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词，本文描述的是过去的事情，因此需要使用一般过去时，主语“Several routes”与“seek”之间为被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为复数，所以be动词用were。故填were sought。
61．考查副词。句意：这个网络逐渐扩大，一直使用到16世纪。空格处位于动词之后，修饰动词，所以需要用副词形式，gradual的副词为gradually意为“逐渐地”。故填gradually。
62．考查固定搭配。句意：路上挤满了一串串驮着货物的骆驼。loads of表示“大量，许多”；此处指的是大量的货物。故填loads。
63．考查介词。句意：除了贸易交流，该网络还起到了文化交流的桥梁作用。serve as意为“为发挥作用，充当……”；此处指的是充当了文化交流的桥梁作用。故填as。
64．考查非谓语动词。句意：这条惊人的长路连接了东西方文明，实现了共同发展。此处为非谓语动词做定语来修饰名词development。share和development为被动关系，所以用过去分词。故填shared。
65．考查名词。句意：长安—天山走廊被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录，标志着人们认识到丝绸之路是人类共同遗产的重要组成部分。in recognition of意为“对……的认可”。此处表示“认识到丝绸之路是人类共同遗产的重要组成部分”。故填recognition。

“I’m going to miss you so much, Poppy,” said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions(情绪) get the better of him.
His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. “I guess this is it,” he said. “I’ll see you back home in a month, okay ” His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy’s mother turned to the dog, “Okay, Poppy, time to go back home.”
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn’t seem interested in her dinner, her favourite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit. Poppy didn’t.
They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn’t her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried. “What should we do to cheer Poppy up ” asked Dad. “We’ve tried everything.”
“I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy,” smiled Mom. “Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let’s get a little dog for Poppy.”
It didn’t take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual, but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging(摆动)ever so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.

Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared. Poppy was amazed. She wagged furiously. She barked with joy. She smiled, her tongue lolling out as she investigated the surprise. The little pup was not shy and immediately starting yipping and jumping around the older dog. “That didn’t take long,” remarked Mom, as both dogs went roaring around the house in an impromptu game of chase. Dad laughed.
A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university. He had missed Poppy and was looking forward to seeing her. When he bent down to give her a big hug, he fell over in surprise as a small golden cloud came racing up to lick his face too. “Oh my gosh, who is this ” he exclaimed. His parents laughed at the look of shock on his face. “That’s Pee-wee,” said Dad. “I can’t believe you got yourselves a puppy!” “We didn’t,” replied Mom. “This puppy is for Poppy!”
