The Grammy Awards’ Music Educator Award recognizes those who have made a significant contribution and demonstrated a commitment to music education. This year it went to Annie Ray. who was honored for her efforts to make music accessible to all students particularly those with disabilities.
Ray, who comes from a family of musicians, knows firsthand the impact that a great teacher can make on their students. She was inspired in large part by the diversity of the Annandale community, which represents over 60 countries, including many refugees (难民) and immigrants. “There are a lot of cultures that might typically conflict, and they come together in this very beautiful harmony,” Ray explained.
Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Crescendo Orchestra, which was born out of the pandemic (流行病), doesn’t necessarily share the social goals of a program like Best Buddies or the Special Olympics. The focus is on teaching students how to play an instrument, through one-on-one instruction tailored to their needs.
The orchestra is about much more than just making music, however. The program gives students a chance to develop their cooperation skills, make mistakes and learn the art of improving something. “They completely changed my educational philosophy and approach of what it truly means to meet a student where they’re at and apply that elsewhere,” Ray added. “I believe they have a truly powerful message to share with everyone.”
As for the Grammy Award, Ray said that it belongs to her students. She also plans to put some of the money towards an ongoing scholarship for students who want to pursue music when they graduate, in any possible way. “It is a hard profession, but that was really touching,” Ray said. “And there’s nothing else like it.”
1. Why did Annie Ray create the Crescendo Orchestra
A. To settle social conflicts.
B. To help disabled children.
C. To promote social awareness.
D. To support people during the pandemic.
2. What can we learn about Annie Ray from the passage
A. She created music for each performance.
B. She was rewarded for her great music talents.
C. She provided more than music to her students.
D. She donated all her money to her talented students.
3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Annie Ray: Bringing Home the Grammy for Musical Commitment
B. Crescendo Orchestra: A Symbolic Image of Great Musical Events
C. From Pandemic to Grammy: The Journey to Success of Annie Ray
D. Grammy Awards: A Recognition for the Best Musicians in the World

Situated along a river that winds through the mountains, surrounded by cedar (雪松) and bamboo forests, Nanmoku is about 70 miles northwest of the capital city. Once known for its silk, wood, and konjac root (魔芋根), Nanmoku is now Japan’s most aged village, with two-thirds of its residents over 65. Many buildings are abandoned and the population has dropped from 11,000 in 1955to about 1,500 today, according to town hall figures. At that rate, the village could be empty just over a decade.
Nanmoku is on the front lines of Japan’s rural depopulation, a trend seen in other Asian and European countries. However, some residents are working to change the trend by attracting young people. One such person is 24-year-old Satomi Oigawa, who moved to Nanmoku after graduating from college in Tokyo. She works for the village government, matching abandoned homes with potential new residents. Oigawa is learning about the village’s history as she integrates into the community. “Everything about this house is part of the village’s history,” she says.
Despite efforts to attract new residents, the village faces challenges. There are few jobs for young people, and the nearest hospital is an hour’s drive away. Some residents argue that instead of spending money to attract newcomers, the money should be spent on those already living in the village.
Mayor Saijo Hasegawa aims to keep the village’s population level in 15to 20 years’ time, hoping to maintain it at around 800 people. However, experts like Peter Matan le of the University of Sheffield say that while some villages may boom, they will still experience pushback against the overpowering trend. “Japan is currently losing 600,000 to 700,000 people annually, and that’s going to increase to more than a million by the 2030s,” Matan le says. “Under that situation, how do settlements maintain their populations, let alone increase them ”
4. Which of the following can best describe current Nanmoku
A. Old and timeless. B. Undamaged and charming.
C. Remote and developing. D. Historic and declining.
5. Why did Satomi Oigawa move to Nanmoku after college
A. To get job opportunities. B. To learn about the history.
C. To refresh the village. D. To experience the rural life.
6. What can be inferred about the efforts to beat Nanmoku’s depopulation
A. They are facing significant challenges.
B. They are likely to succeed at the moment.
C. They are widely supported by all residents.
D. They need more support from the government.
C
Economic growth is often considered as a sure way of increasing the well-being of people in low-income countries, and global surveys in recent decades have supported this strategy by showing people in high-income countries tend to report higher levels of life satisfaction than those in low-income countries. This strong connection might suggest that only in rich societies can people be happy. However, a recent study conducted by ICTA-UAB and McGill University in Canada suggests that there may be good reasons to question whether this link is universal.
While most global surveys gather thousands of responses from the citizens of industrial and urban societies, they tend to ignore people in simple-and-tiny societies on the fringe, where social group has a limited number of members and where the exchange of money plays a minimal role in everyday life with natives and local communities depending directly on nature.
The research, published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), consisted of a survey of 2,966 people from local communities in 19 globally distributed sites. Only 64% of surveyed households had any cash income. The results show that “surprisingly, many populations with very low incomes report very high average levels of life satisfaction, with scores similar to those in wealthy countries,” says Eric Galbraith, researcher at ICTA-UAB and McGill University and lead author of the study.
The average life satisfaction score across the studied simple-and-tiny societies was 6.8 on a range of 0-10. Although not all societies reported high satisfaction levels, four of the sites reported average scores higher than 8, despite many of these societies having suffered histories of neglect and control. The results are consistent with the opinion that human societies can support very satisfactory lives for their members without necessarily requiring high degrees of material wealth.
“While the reasons behind these findings remain unclear, the study provides valuable insights into how diverse communities achieve satisfying lives. It offers hope that understanding these factors can help others improve their well-being while addressing sustainability concerns.” Galbraith concludes.
7. What does the research focus on according to the passage
A. The impact of cash income on locals’ well-being.
B. Income-satisfaction connection in industrial societies.
C. Economic growth’s concerns in low-income countries.
D. Relation between wealth and happiness across societies.
8 What does the underlined word “fringe” mean in paragraph 2
A. Edge. B. Surface. C. Horizon. D. Scene.
9. What’s the purpose of the numbers listed in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4
A. To indicate the research’s limitations.
B. To prove the reliability of the findings.
C. To emphasize high satisfaction scores.
D. To show the number of people surveyed.
10. What is Galbraith’s attitude toward the research
A. Unconcerned. B. Unclear. C. Promising. D. Critical.

How to Make Exercise a Habit
The new year is a time when it seems like everyone makes goals to work out and get fit. But by the third week of January, that all seems to go out the window. I’ve seen this happen almost every year: my workout classes are packed with fresh faces. ____11____ So I will share some tips on how to make exercise a habit, helping you stay healthier in the long run.
Focus on the routine and not the results
These days it feels like everyone is looking for a quick fix or fast results, particularly when it comes to health and fitness. ____12____ Focus on creating and enjoying the habit. Try scheduling your works alongside one of the other routines you already have in place.
____13____
Everyone seems to want to set big goals of working out 4 times a week with 60-minute sessions. But realistically, if you’re not used to this, it will just be overwhelming and lead you to quit. Given this, doing workouts even as small as5-10 minutes is a good place to start.
Forget the “all or nothing” view
When it comes to exercise, the all or nothing approach does not serve you. Say you plan a workout for today, but say things get crazy at work and you miss your scheduled time. Well that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. ____14____ Even if you miss your workout, that doesn’t mean you’ve given up. Just remember your results are from your every effort, not matter how small.
Find joy in your workouts
____15____ Don’t let yourself be boxed into a certain type of workout just because it’s trendy or everyone is doing them. A workout that suits you will promote your drive and enjoyment.
A. Life happens sometimes.
B. Start with mini workouts
C. Build yourself workout time-zone
D. But in reality, it takes time for results to show.
E. Explore until you find a workout that feels like fun.

As I opened the door, my two little girls squeezed past me, and hit the fridge for their after-school snack. A bag full of research papers begging to be graded fell down heavily from my shoulder onto the table. After a tiring day’s work, I still had to face the mess that was bothering me, including my husband’s doing-nothing and my daughters’ constant talking noisily. While scolding them, I reached for a cup of leftover morning coffee. As I turned towards the coffeepot, I noticed that the morning dishes weren’t in the sink and the counter was clear except for an envelope with my name on it. My heart pounded, as my husband hadn’t written me a love letter since we were engaged. Then I replayed the casual comment I had made that morning “Since you’re working evenings this week, it would be nice if you’d do something to help out around the house while you’re home.”
I picked up the letter, expecting an apology. But when I read the first line, my heart sank. “I’m tired of being accused of not helping around the house. I am tired of you scolding children every day. Yesterday, I washed the windows. Did you notice I also picked up your car from school and took it for an oil change. I bet you didn’t notice that either, did you Of course nor did you notice our daughters prepared coffees well every morning.”
The letter continued in the same tone—a little anger, a lot of hurt—and I deserved every word. The truth was when he worked evening shift, I envied the solitude (独处) he enjoyed by day. He spent hours alone in a quiet house while I took on the parenting role for both of us at night—dinner, homework, baths, bedtime. Then I graded papers or made lesson plans while losing my temper occasionally before I collapsed into bed. But who had time for clothes washing For dirty floors Not me, because my husband did.
注意：
1. 写作词数应为150左右；

I folded the letter and slid it inside the envelope to hide his words and my shame.

Hardly had I finished writing the letter when our younger daughter skipped in.

Situated along a river that winds through the mountains, surrounded by cedar (雪松) and bamboo forests, Nanmoku is about 70 miles northwest of the capital city. Once known for its silk, wood, and konjac root (魔芋根), Nanmoku is now Japan’s most aged village, with two-thirds of its residents over 65. Many buildings are abandoned and the population has dropped from 11,000 in 1955to about 1,500 today, according to town hall figures. At that rate, the village could be empty just over a decade.
Nanmoku is on the front lines of Japan’s rural depopulation, a trend seen in other Asian and European countries. However, some residents are working to change the trend by attracting young people. One such person is 24-year-old Satomi Oigawa, who moved to Nanmoku after graduating from college in Tokyo. She works for the village government, matching abandoned homes with potential new residents. Oigawa is learning about the village’s history as she integrates into the community. “Everything about this house is part of the village’s history,” she says.
Despite efforts to attract new residents, the village faces challenges. There are few jobs for young people, and the nearest hospital is an hour’s drive away. Some residents argue that instead of spending money to attract newcomers, the money should be spent on those already living in the village.
Mayor Saijo Hasegawa aims to keep the village’s population level in 15to 20 years’ time, hoping to maintain it at around 800 people. However, experts like Peter Matan le of the University of Sheffield say that while some villages may boom, they will still experience pushback against the overpowering trend. “Japan is currently losing 600,000 to 700,000 people annually, and that’s going to increase to more than a million by the 2030s,” Matan le says. “Under that situation, how do settlements maintain their populations, let alone increase them ”
4. Which of the following can best describe current Nanmoku
A. Old and timeless. B. Undamaged and charming.
C. Remote and developing. D. Historic and declining.
5. Why did Satomi Oigawa move to Nanmoku after college
A. To get job opportunities. B. To learn about the history.
C. To refresh the village. D. To experience the rural life.
6. What can be inferred about the efforts to beat Nanmoku’s depopulation
A. They are facing significant challenges.
B. They are likely to succeed at the moment.
C. They are widely supported by all residents.
D. They need more support from the government.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了日本一个名为南木（Nanmoku）的村庄因为人口老龄化而衰落的趋势。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Once known for its silk, wood, and konjac root (魔芋根), Nanmoku is now Japan’s most aged village, with two-thirds of its residents over 65. Many buildings are abandoned and the population has dropped from 11,000 in 1955to about 1,500 today, according to town hall figures. At that rate, the village could be empty just over a decade.( Nanmoku曾经以丝绸、木材和魔芋根而闻名，现在是日本最古老的村庄，三分之二的居民超过65岁。根据市政厅的数据，许多建筑物被废弃，人口从1955年的1.1万人减少到今天的约1500人。按照这个速度，这个村庄可能在十年内就会空无一人。)”可推知，目前的Nanmoku是历史悠久的和衰落的。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“However, some residents are working to change the trend by attracting young people. One such person is 24-year-old Satomi Oigawa, who moved to Nanmoku after graduating from college in Tokyo. She works for the village government, matching abandoned homes with potential new residents. Oigawa is learning about the village’s history as she integrates into the community.(然而，一些居民正在努力通过吸引年轻人来改变这一趋势。24岁的小川聪美(Satomi Oigawa)就是这样一个人，她从东京大学毕业后搬到了Nanmoku。她在村政府工作，为废弃房屋和潜在的新居民牵线搭桥。小川聪美在融入社区的过程中正在学习这个村庄的历史。)”可推知，小川聪美大学毕业后搬到Nanmoku是为了使村庄焕然一新。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, experts like Peter Matan le of the University of Sheffield say that while some villages may boom, they will still experience pushback against the overpowering trend.(然而，谢菲尔德大学的彼得·马坦勒等专家表示，尽管一些村庄可能会繁荣起来，但它们仍将面临抵制这股势不可挡的趋势。)”可推知，关于阻止Nanmoku人口减少的努力，我们可以推断出他们正面临重大挑战。故选A。
C
Economic growth is often considered as a sure way of increasing the well-being of people in low-income countries, and global surveys in recent decades have supported this strategy by showing people in high-income countries tend to report higher levels of life satisfaction than those in low-income countries. This strong connection might suggest that only in rich societies can people be happy. However, a recent study conducted by ICTA-UAB and McGill University in Canada suggests that there may be good reasons to question whether this link is universal.
While most global surveys gather thousands of responses from the citizens of industrial and urban societies, they tend to ignore people in simple-and-tiny societies on the fringe, where social group has a limited number of members and where the exchange of money plays a minimal role in everyday life with natives and local communities depending directly on nature.
The research, published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), consisted of a survey of 2,966 people from local communities in 19 globally distributed sites. Only 64% of surveyed households had any cash income. The results show that “surprisingly, many populations with very low incomes report very high average levels of life satisfaction, with scores similar to those in wealthy countries,” says Eric Galbraith, researcher at ICTA-UAB and McGill University and lead author of the study.
The average life satisfaction score across the studied simple-and-tiny societies was 6.8 on a range of 0-10. Although not all societies reported high satisfaction levels, four of the sites reported average scores higher than 8, despite many of these societies having suffered histories of neglect and control. The results are consistent with the opinion that human societies can support very satisfactory lives for their members without necessarily requiring high degrees of material wealth.
“While the reasons behind these findings remain unclear, the study provides valuable insights into how diverse communities achieve satisfying lives. It offers hope that understanding these factors can help others improve their well-being while addressing sustainability concerns.” Galbraith concludes.
7. What does the research focus on according to the passage
A. The impact of cash income on locals’ well-being.
B. Income-satisfaction connection in industrial societies.
C. Economic growth’s concerns in low-income countries.
D. Relation between wealth and happiness across societies.
8. What does the underlined word “fringe” mean in paragraph 2
A. Edge. B. Surface. C. Horizon. D. Scene.
9. What’s the purpose of the numbers listed in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4
A. To indicate the research’s limitations.
B. To prove the reliability of the findings.
C. To emphasize high satisfaction scores.
D. To show the number of people surveyed.
10. What is Galbraith’s attitude toward the research
A. Unconcerned. B. Unclear. C. Promising. D. Critical.
【答案】7. D 8. A 9. B 10. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究挑战传统观念，揭示低收入群体幸福感未必与财富正相关，探讨了简朴社会中人们对生活的高满意度，为可持续幸福感提供新视角。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“However, a recent study conducted by ICTA-UAB and McGill University in Canada suggests that there may be good reasons to question whether this link is universal.(然而，ICTA-UAB和加拿大麦吉尔大学最近进行的一项研究表明，可能有充分的理由质疑这种联系是否普遍)”以及第三段的“The results show that “surprisingly, many populations with very low incomes report very high average levels of life satisfaction, with scores similar to those in wealthy countries,” says Eric Galbraith, researcher at ICTA-UAB and McGill University and lead author of the study.(ICTA-UAB和麦吉尔大学的研究员、该研究的主要作者Eric Galbraith表示，研究结果显示，“令人惊讶的是，许多收入非常低的人群的平均生活满意度非常高，得分与富裕国家相似”)”可知，以前的研究显示经济增长与幸福感的关系，ICTA-UAB和加拿大麦吉尔大学最近进行的一项研究质疑这一普遍联系。由此可推知，研究重点在于考察社会财富与幸福感之间的关系。故选D。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“While most global surveys gather thousands of responses from the citizens of industrial and urban societies, they tend to ignore people in simple-and-tiny societies(虽然大多数全球调查都收集了来自工业和城市社会公民的数千份回复，但它们往往忽视了简单和微小社会中的人们)”以及“where social group has a limited number of members and where the exchange of money plays a minimal role in everyday life with natives and local communities depending directly on nature(社会团体的成员数量有限，与当地人和直接依赖自然的当地社区的日常生活中，金钱交换的作用微乎其微)”可知，大多数的研究调查都收集了来自工业和城市社会公民的数千份回复，但是忽视了简单和微小社会中的人们，在这些社会中，成员数量有限并且金钱交换的作用微乎其微。所以这样的社会经常出现在远离中心、边缘的地区。所以划线单词的意思为“边缘”。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“The research, published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), consisted of a survey of 2,966 people from local communities in 19 globally distributed sites. Only 64% of surveyed households had any cash income.(这项研究发表在科学期刊《美国国家科学院院刊》（PNAS）上，对19个全球分布地点的2966名当地社区人员进行了调查。只有64%的受访家庭有现金收入)”以及第四段的“The average life satisfaction score across the studied simple-and-tiny societies was 6.8 on a range of 0-10. Although not all societies reported high satisfaction levels, four of the sites reported average scores higher than 8, despite many of these societies having suffered histories of neglect and control.(在所研究的简单和微小社会中，平均生活满意度在范围为0-10中得分为6.8。尽管并非所有社会都报告了高满意度，但其中四个地方的平均得分高于8分，尽管其中许多社会都有被忽视和控制的历史)”可推知，第三段和第四段列出的具体数字，如2,966人参与调查、64%的家庭有现金收入、平均生活满意度得分6.8等，都是为了提供具体数据支持研究结果，增强发现的可靠性。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Galbraith的话“While the reasons behind these findings remain unclear, the study provides valuable insights into how diverse communities achieve satisfying lives. It offers hope that understanding these factors can help others improve their well-being while addressing sustainability concerns.(虽然这些发现背后的原因尚不清楚，但这项研究为不同社区如何实现令人满意的生活提供了宝贵的见解。它提供了希望，即了解这些因素可以帮助其他人在解决可持续性问题的同时改善他们的福祉)”可推知，他认为这项研究提供了关于不同社区如何实现满意生活的宝贵见解，并表达了对这些因素能帮助他人在解决可持续性问题的同时提升幸福感的希望，因此他对研究的结果是抱有希望的。故选C。

How to Make Exercise a Habit
The new year is a time when it seems like everyone makes goals to work out and get fit. But by the third week of January, that all seems to go out the window. I’ve seen this happen almost every year: my workout classes are packed with fresh faces. ____11____ So I will share some tips on how to make exercise a habit, helping you stay healthier in the long run.
Focus on the routine and not the results
These days it feels like everyone is looking for a quick fix or fast results, particularly when it comes to health and fitness. ____12____ Focus on creating and enjoying the habit. Try scheduling your works alongside one of the other routines you already have in place.
____13____
Everyone seems to want to set big goals of working out 4 times a week with 60-minute sessions. But realistically, if you’re not used to this, it will just be overwhelming and lead you to quit. Given this, doing workouts even as small as5-10 minutes is a good place to start.
Forget the “all or nothing” view
When it comes to exercise, the all or nothing approach does not serve you. Say you plan a workout for today, but say things get crazy at work and you miss your scheduled time. Well that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. ____14____ Even if you miss your workout, that doesn’t mean you’ve given up. Just remember your results are from your every effort, not matter how small.
Find joy in your workouts
____15____ Don’t let yourself be boxed into a certain type of workout just because it’s trendy or everyone is doing them. A workout that suits you will promote your drive and enjoyment.
A. Life happens sometimes.
B. Start with mini workouts
C. Build yourself workout time-zone
D. But in reality, it takes time for results to show.
E. Explore until you find a workout that feels like fun.
F. There is something magical that makes your plan work.
G. But after just a few weeks, they return to the regular number of people.
【答案】11. G 12. D 13. B 14. A 15. E
【解析】
【导语】本文一篇说明文。文章就如何养成运动习惯提出建议。
【11题详解】
前文“The new year is a time when it seems like everyone makes goals to work out and get fit. But by the third week of January, that all seems to go out the window. (在新的一年里，似乎每个人都制定了锻炼和健身的目标。但到了1月的第三周，这一切似乎都烟消云散了。)”提出人们很快就会忘记自己的锻炼和健身目标这一社会现象，作者在上文“I’ve seen this happen almost every year: my workout classes are packed with fresh faces. (我几乎每年都看到这种情况发生：我的健身课上挤满了新面孔……)”中用自己的亲眼目睹的情况来印证这一事实，G项“But after just a few weeks, they return to the regular number of people. (但仅仅几周后，人数就会恢复到正常水平。)”承接上文，说明新年开始确实会有很多新人参加锻炼，但他们很快又会消失，与前文语意一致。故选G项。
【12题详解】
上文“These days it feels like everyone is looking for a quick fix or fast results, particularly when it comes to health and fitness. (如今，感觉每个人都在寻找快速解决或快速的结果，特别是在健康和健身方面。)”提出人们都想找到捷径，对于健康和健身也是如此，D项“But in reality, it takes time for results to show. (但在现实中，结果需要时间才能显现。)”与上文构成转折关系，指出这一想法的不切实际，因为结果需要时间，照应小标题“关注过程，而不是结果”。故选D项。
【13题详解】
设空句是段首小标题。根据下文“Everyone seems to want to set big goals of working out 4 times a week with 60-minute sessions. But realistically, if you’re not used to this, it will just be overwhelming and lead you to quit. Given this, doing workouts even as small as5-10 minutes is a good place to start. (每个人似乎都想设定一个大目标，每周锻炼4次，每次60分钟。但实际上，如果你不习惯这样做，它只会让你难以承受，最终导致你放弃。考虑到这一点，即使是5-10分钟的小锻炼也是一个很好的开始。)”可知，本段建议从小锻炼开始，B项“Start with mini workouts (从小型锻炼开始)”是本段内容的最佳概括。故选B项。
【14题详解】
上文“Say you plan a workout for today, but say things get crazy at work and you miss your scheduled time. Well that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. (比如说你计划今天锻炼，但是工作上的事情变得很疯狂，你错过了预定的时间。这并不意味着你失败了。)”讲我们可能因为工作而错过锻炼，但这并不意味着失败。A项“Life happens sometimes. (生活中总会发生意外。)”和下文“Even if you miss your workout, that doesn’t mean you’ve given up. (即使你错过了锻炼，也不意味着你已经放弃了。)”重复了上文文意，强调不要放弃，上下文语意一致。故选A项。
【15题详解】
根据下文“Don’t let yourself be boxed into a certain type of workout just because it’s trendy or everyone is doing them. A workout that suits you will promote your drive and enjoyment. (不要仅仅因为流行或者人人都在做某一种运动，就把自己限定在这种运动中。适合你的锻炼会提升你的动力和乐趣。)”可知，选择锻炼形式不能跟风，要寻找适合自己并能带来乐趣的锻炼方式，这是对E项“Explore until you find a workout that feels like fun. (不断探索，直到找到一种你觉得有趣的锻炼方式。)”观点的诠释，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。

As I opened the door, my two little girls squeezed past me, and hit the fridge for their after-school snack. A bag full of research papers begging to be graded fell down heavily from my shoulder onto the table. After a tiring day’s work, I still had to face the mess that was bothering me, including my husband’s doing-nothing and my daughters’ constant talking noisily. While scolding them, I reached for a cup of leftover morning coffee. As I turned towards the coffeepot, I noticed that the morning dishes weren’t in the sink and the counter was clear except for an envelope with my name on it. My heart pounded, as my husband hadn’t written me a love letter since we were engaged. Then I replayed the casual comment I had made that morning “Since you’re working evenings this week, it would be nice if you’d do something to help out around the house while you’re home.”
I picked up the letter, expecting an apology. But when I read the first line, my heart sank. “I’m tired of being accused of not helping around the house. I am tired of you scolding children every day. Yesterday, I washed the windows. Did you notice I also picked up your car from school and took it for an oil change. I bet you didn’t notice that either, did you Of course nor did you notice our daughters prepared coffees well every morning.”
The letter continued in the same tone—a little anger, a lot of hurt—and I deserved every word. The truth was when he worked evening shift, I envied the solitude (独处) he enjoyed by day. He spent hours alone in a quiet house while I took on the parenting role for both of us at night—dinner, homework, baths, bedtime. Then I graded papers or made lesson plans while losing my temper occasionally before I collapsed into bed. But who had time for clothes washing For dirty floors Not me, because my husband did.

【答案】范文
I folded the letter and slid it inside the envelope to hide his words and my shame. My heart felt heavy as I realized how unfair I had been to my husband. He had been working hard, both at his job and at home, while I had been taking it all for granted. I sat down at the table, determined to write him a sincere apology. I expressed my gratitude for his hard work and admitted my own shortcomings. I promised to be more understanding and appreciative of his efforts. I knew it would take time to heal the wounds in our relationship, but I was ready to start the process.
Hardly had I finished writing the letter when our younger daughter skipped in. She saw the envelope in my hand and her eyes widened curiously. “Mommy, what are you writing ” she asked. I smiled and held up the letter. “This is a letter to Daddy,” I said. “I’m sorry for being so mean to him sometimes. I want to tell him how much I appreciate all the things he does for us.” My daughter nodded solemnly and then hugged me tightly. “I’m sure Daddy will be very happy to read your letter, Mommy,” she said. Her words warmed my heart and gave me courage to take the next step in repairing our relationship.
