Jackie Hsiao, a sophomore at the University of Rochester Fencing Club, competed in the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte, NC. This event marked the peak of six-year fencing journey and her first national-level encounter with elite fencers.
Hsiao’s fencing adventure began at a summer camp before her eighth grade year. Though she initially hated it due to long, sweaty hours in fencing gear and competing against more experienced opponents, her time at camp kindled an interest in the sport within her.
In high school, Hsiao found a welcoming community of fencers and coaches. She developed and refined her skills with the foil, the smallest and lightest fencing weapon. However, during her senior year, a devastating ACL tear (前交叉韧带撕裂) put her career in jeopardy. “I doubted I’d return to fencing,” she said. After surgery and nine months of grueling physical therapy two to three times a week, Hsiao began fencing again. Her defensive fencing style remained mostly the same, though she had to think more about her back leg position.
On the mental side, Hsiao emphasized positive thinking and mental preparation. She believed that negative thoughts could impact performance and learned to stop over-thinking during competition. Hsiao also revealed the life lessons fencing has taught her, saying, “Persistence is key and losing is one of the best ways to learn.”
Her family has been instrumental in supporting her through her fencing journey. When she qualified for the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics, she immediately shared the news with her mother. At the Junior Olympics, she even met her favorite fencers, Lee Kiefer and Mai a Chamberlain.
Jackie’s next goal is to continue competing at the national level and earn a rating from the United States Fencing Association. Recently, she was elected president of the University of Rochester Fencing Club and coaches women’s foilists. In April, she will lead her team to the United States Association of Collegiate Fencing Clubs Championship.
24. What initially made Jackie Hsiao dislike fencing at the summer camp
A. The lack of experienced coaches.
B. Her parents’ pressure to practice.
C. The high cost of fencing equipment.
D. Physical discomfort and strong competitors.
25. What does the underlined word “grueling” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Short but painful. B. Long and tiring. C. Costly but effective. D. Easy and relaxing.
26. What important life lesson did Jackie Hsiao learn from fencing
A. Look before you leap. B. Early birds catch the worm.
C. Little strokes fell great oaks. D. Many hands make light work.
27. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To highlight the role of family support in athletic success.
B. To promote the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte.
C. To analyze the training methods of elite fencers like Lee Kiefer.
D. To showcase Jackie Hsiao’s journey from adversity to achievement in fencing.
C
Honeybees, despite their tiny brains, perform extraordinary feats of navigation. They routinely fly kilometers from their hives, locate scattered flowers, and return precisely — a skill critical to pollination and global food security. For decades, scientists believed bees relied solely on visual landmarks and the sun’s position to navigate. However, groundbreaking research published in 2024 revealed a hidden mechanism: sensitivity to Earth’s magnetic field.
The discovery emerged from a coincidental observation. Biologists at Cambridge University noticed that bees in cloudy conditions, deprived of solar cues, still corrected their flight paths after displacement. Intrigued, they designed an experiment: bees were fitted with microscopic magnetic disruptors (微观磁干扰器), while control groups wore non-magnetic tags. When released in an unfamiliar field, the disruptor group showed 63% more directional errors, strongly implying magnetic perception.
Further studies identified magnetite nanoparticles in bees’ abdomens (腹部) — minerals also found in migratory birds. These particles align with magnetic fields, creating internal “maps”. Remarkably, bees adjust this system daily using sunlight, blending magnetic and solar data for precision. Dr. Voss, co-lead researcher, explains, “It resembles using both GPS and a compass, which ensures reliability amid environmental changes.”
This dual-system adaptation has evolutionary roots. Fossil records show bees existed 100 million years ago, when volcanic activity frequently altered landscapes. Magnetic sensing would have enabled ancestral bees to navigate landforms reshaped by eruptions — a survival trait passed to modern species. Today, this ability faces new challenges. Electromagnetic pollution from power lines and wireless networks can disturb weak geomagnetic signals, potentially misdirect bees. A 2025 German study found hive collapse rates 22% higher near high-voltage towers, suggesting a troubling link.
Understanding bee navigation isn’t merely academic. With 75% of crops depending on pollinators, decoding their orientation systems could inform conservation strategies. Proposals include creating “magnetic corridors” shielded from interference, or designing urban green spaces with natural magnetic landmarks. As Prof. Patel notes, “Protecting bees requires safeguarding not just their food sources, but the invisible forces that guide them.”
28. What initially challenged the traditional belief about honeybee navigation
A. The discovery of magnetite in birds’ brains.
B. Their accurate orientation under sunless skies.
C. Hive collapse patterns near agricultural zones.
D. Bees’ ability to fly long distances without resting.
29. Why did researchers use magnetic disruptors in the Cambridge experiment
A. To measure the strength of bees’ solar navigation.
B. To test bees’ resistance to electromagnetic pollution.
C. To determine if magnetism influences flight orientation.
D. To observe how bees adapt to visual landmark changes.
30. What can be implied in Paragraph 4
A. The limitation of bees’ evolutionary roots.
B. The need to reduce magnetic field where bees live.
C. The potential impact of human activity on bee navigation.
D. The superiority of magnetic sensors over visual navigation.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Critical Skill: How Bees Map Routes
B. The Honeybee Migration: How Climate Impacts
C. The Magnetic Mystery: How Honeybees Navigate
D. A Hidden Mechanism: What Disrupts Bee Immigration
D
Google Shopping is transforming the way people discover and purchase fashion items by integrating advanced AI tools that make shopping more intuitive and personalized. Every day, over a billion shopping searches occur on Google, yet more than half of shoppers report difficulties finding products that match their specific vision—whether it’s a “colorful midi dress with big daisies” or “tailored wide-leg trousers.” To bridge this gap, Google has rolled out innovative features designed to enhance product discovery and decision-making.
One standout feature is Vision Match, now available to all mobile users in the U. S. This tool allows shoppers to describe their ideal item in detail—such as “strapless satin evening gown with lace trim”—and generate AI-powered visual suggestions. By selecting the “Can’t find it Create it!” option or using the “Create & shop” button in the Shopping tab, users receive tailored recommendations that bring their fashion ideas to life. The feature not only displays AI-generated images but also surfaces similar purchasable products from various retailers.
Another key advancement is the expanded virtual try-on tool, which now includes pants, skirts, and dresses in addition to tops. When browsing items labeled with a “try on” badge, shoppers can see how garments fit on real models representing a wide range of body types, from XXS to XXL. Google’s improved machine learning models even generate complete outfit previews, pairing selected bottoms with complementary tops and shoes for a realistic styling experience. This helps users visualize how pieces will look in real life, reducing uncertainty and boosting confidence in their purchases.
By combining AI-generated visuals, precise search matching, and immersive try-on capabilities, Google Shopping is addressing common frustrations in online fashion retail. These tools aim to replicate (复制) the in-store experience of exploring styles and assessing fit, all within a digital platform. While currently limited to the U. S. market, these innovations signal a shift toward more interactive, user-centric e-commerce—one where finding the perfect item is as simple as describing it or seeing it worn before clicking “buy”.
32. What is the main purpose of Google Shopping’s new AI tools
A. To favor certain retailers. B. To replace human designers.
C. To decrease search numbers. D. To enhance shopping experience.
33. How does the “Vision Match” feature work
A. By completing purchases automatically. B. By generating AI-based visual suggestions.
C. By enabling custom clothing design services. D. By displaying only partnered brands’ products.
34. What is a key benefit of the virtual try-on tool
A. It displays clothing fit on diverse body types.
B. It provides discounts for trying items virtually.
C. It automatically creates outfits from different stores.
D. It allows users to redesign clothes before purchasing.
35. What future trend does Google Shopping’s AI signal
A. More physical stores. B. Less product details.
C. Fewer global markets. D. Interactive online shopping.

Heavy and Even Moderate Drinking Can Harm the Brain
A study in Neurology suggests that alcohol consumption, even at moderate levels, may damage brain health. Researchers analyzed brain tissue from 1,700 late individuals and found that those who drank eight or more alcoholic beverages (饮料) weekly doubled their risk of dementia-related brain lesions. ____36____
The study categorized participants into four groups: nondrinkers, moderate drinkers (≤7 drinks/ week), heavy drinkers (≥8 drinks/ week), and former heavy drinkers. Heavy drinkers showed a 133% higher risk of brain lesions compared to nondrinkers. ____37____ “These results challenge the assumption that only heavy drinking harms the brain,” says lead researcher Dr. Alberto Justo.
____38____ For example, heavy drinkers had lower rates of hypertension and stroke. However, researchers noted that this group died 13 years earlier on average, potentially avoiding age-related conditions.
To assess alcohol’s impact, scientists examined markers like tau tangles (linked to Alzheimer’s) and blood vessel damage. ____39____ “Neuropathological changes can occur even with moderate consumption,” explains Dr. Justo.
The study defined “heavy drinking” as ≥8 drinks/ week, differing from U. S. standards (≥15 drinks/ week for men). Top American drinkers average 74 drinks weekly, far exceeding the level set by the study. This difference highlights regional variations in defining alcohol abuse.
Despite its insights, the research has limitations. Cognitive data relied on family reports, which may lack accuracy. ____40____ Dr. Mollie Monnig, not involved in the study, cautions, “Associations don’t prove causation.”
Experts recommend practical steps to reduce alcohol intake, such as tracking consumption, taking breaks (e. g. “Sober October”), and alternating with nonalcoholic drinks. “Small changes can significantly lower risks,” advises addiction specialist Dr. Christopher Kahler.
A. Meanwhile, moderate drinkers still faced a 60% increased risk.
B. However, self-reported data may weaken the study’s reliability.
C. Genetic factors were not considered, possibly affecting the results.
D. Such damage disrupts blood flow and contributes to cognitive decline.
E. Not drinking remains the safest choice for long-term brain health.
F. The finding emphasizes the need for stricter alcohol guidelines globally.
G. Surprisingly, some outcomes contradicted common health assumptions.

An urgent call came into Ryan’s bar this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the dive beach bar in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or $150 in cash—but her wedding ring was put inside.
Ryan, 42, didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place, Ryan’s at Red Dogs. The bar had long served as a sanctuary for the homeless, offering not only hot meals but also job opportunities. In fact, half of his current staff were former homeless individuals to whom he had given a second chance. So he set out to find the wallet.
He spent hours checking recordings from 16 different security cameras, watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man in a jacket approached the bench, touched something in his pocket, and walked off. That night Ryan posted a video clip on the bar’s Facebook page.
Instead of exposing the young man’s face to shame him, Ryan chose to post with a question: “Does anyone know this person ”
Within hours, Ryan got a text from 17-year-old Jimmy, who’d heard about the post from his sister. Jimmy admitted having taken the wallet and told Ryan he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet off the docks into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.
During their phone conversation, Jimmy opened up about his family conflicts and confessed to living in the woods for the past week. Though unable to see the young man directly, Ryan—a father of two with a third child on the way—pieced together Jimmy’s situation from his trembling voice and fragmented explanations.
“This isn’t some hardened criminal,” he insisted. But with the missing ring involved, the situation had become serious: the police investigation could lead to criminal accusations. Determined to help, Ryan vowed to protect the young man who seemed more of a kid than a lawbreaker.
注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, Ryan told the teen to meet him at the docks.

【原文】This is a notification to inform you that our new campus is still under construction, and it won’t be finished until the end of May. The P. E. classes will still take place at the old campus this semester, because the new gym will take another three months to complete. Please don’t forget to take away your sports clothes and shoes after P. E. classes. Teachers and cleaners found clothes and shoes scattered all around the gym last week. We really hope that such behavior will not happen in the new gym. The chemistry laboratory will have two doors. One will open straight to the schoolyard, and the other one will lead to the nearby canteen. It’s very important for students not to enter the laboratory with food. Those who do it will be punished. Everyone will need a new card to enter the new teaching building. There will be an electronically controlled door that requires scanning the card. As there will be no more guards, you can’t enter the building if you forget your card. And, remember to be at the school bus stop several minutes before the scheduled time. The drivers won’t wait for you for more than a minute.

Jackie Hsiao, a sophomore at the University of Rochester Fencing Club, competed in the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte, NC. This event marked the peak of six-year fencing journey and her first national-level encounter with elite fencers.
Hsiao’s fencing adventure began at a summer camp before her eighth grade year. Though she initially hated it due to long, sweaty hours in fencing gear and competing against more experienced opponents, her time at camp kindled an interest in the sport within her.
In high school, Hsiao found a welcoming community of fencers and coaches. She developed and refined her skills with the foil, the smallest and lightest fencing weapon. However, during her senior year, a devastating ACL tear (前交叉韧带撕裂) put her career in jeopardy. “I doubted I’d return to fencing,” she said. After surgery and nine months of grueling physical therapy two to three times a week, Hsiao began fencing again. Her defensive fencing style remained mostly the same, though she had to think more about her back leg position.
On the mental side, Hsiao emphasized positive thinking and mental preparation. She believed that negative thoughts could impact performance and learned to stop over-thinking during competition. Hsiao also revealed the life lessons fencing has taught her, saying, “Persistence is key and losing is one of the best ways to learn.”
Her family has been instrumental in supporting her through her fencing journey. When she qualified for the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics, she immediately shared the news with her mother. At the Junior Olympics, she even met her favorite fencers, Lee Kiefer and Mai a Chamberlain.
Jackie’s next goal is to continue competing at the national level and earn a rating from the United States Fencing Association. Recently, she was elected president of the University of Rochester Fencing Club and coaches women’s foilists. In April, she will lead her team to the United States Association of Collegiate Fencing Clubs Championship.
24. What initially made Jackie Hsiao dislike fencing at the summer camp
A. The lack of experienced coaches.
B. Her parents’ pressure to practice.
C. The high cost of fencing equipment.
D. Physical discomfort and strong competitors.
25. What does the underlined word “grueling” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Short but painful. B. Long and tiring. C. Costly but effective. D. Easy and relaxing.
26. What important life lesson did Jackie Hsiao learn from fencing
A. Look before you leap. B. Early birds catch the worm.
C. Little strokes fell great oaks. D. Many hands make light work.
27. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To highlight the role of family support in athletic success.
B. To promote the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte.
C. To analyze the training methods of elite fencers like Lee Kiefer.
D. To showcase Jackie Hsiao’s journey from adversity to achievement in fencing.

Honeybees, despite their tiny brains, perform extraordinary feats of navigation. They routinely fly kilometers from their hives, locate scattered flowers, and return precisely — a skill critical to pollination and global food security. For decades, scientists believed bees relied solely on visual landmarks and the sun’s position to navigate. However, groundbreaking research published in 2024 revealed a hidden mechanism: sensitivity to Earth’s magnetic field.
The discovery emerged from a coincidental observation. Biologists at Cambridge University noticed that bees in cloudy conditions, deprived of solar cues, still corrected their flight paths after displacement. Intrigued, they designed an experiment: bees were fitted with microscopic magnetic disruptors (微观磁干扰器), while control groups wore non-magnetic tags. When released in an unfamiliar field, the disruptor group showed 63% more directional errors, strongly implying magnetic perception.
Further studies identified magnetite nanoparticles in bees’ abdomens (腹部) — minerals also found in migratory birds. These particles align with magnetic fields, creating internal “maps”. Remarkably, bees adjust this system daily using sunlight, blending magnetic and solar data for precision. Dr. Voss, co-lead researcher, explains, “It resembles using both GPS and a compass, which ensures reliability amid environmental changes.”
This dual-system adaptation has evolutionary roots. Fossil records show bees existed 100 million years ago, when volcanic activity frequently altered landscapes. Magnetic sensing would have enabled ancestral bees to navigate landforms reshaped by eruptions — a survival trait passed to modern species. Today, this ability faces new challenges. Electromagnetic pollution from power lines and wireless networks can disturb weak geomagnetic signals, potentially misdirect bees. A 2025 German study found hive collapse rates 22% higher near high-voltage towers, suggesting a troubling link.
Understanding bee navigation isn’t merely academic. With 75% of crops depending on pollinators, decoding their orientation systems could inform conservation strategies. Proposals include creating “magnetic corridors” shielded from interference, or designing urban green spaces with natural magnetic landmarks. As Prof. Patel notes, “Protecting bees requires safeguarding not just their food sources, but the invisible forces that guide them.”
28. What initially challenged the traditional belief about honeybee navigation
A. The discovery of magnetite in birds’ brains.
B. Their accurate orientation under sunless skies.
C. Hive collapse patterns near agricultural zones.
D. Bees’ ability to fly long distances without resting.
29. Why did researchers use magnetic disruptors in the Cambridge experiment
A. To measure the strength of bees’ solar navigation.
B. To test bees’ resistance to electromagnetic pollution.
C. To determine if magnetism influences flight orientation.
D. To observe how bees adapt to visual landmark changes.
30. What can be implied in Paragraph 4
A. The limitation of bees’ evolutionary roots.
B. The need to reduce magnetic field where bees live.
C. The potential impact of human activity on bee navigation.
D. The superiority of magnetic sensors over visual navigation.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Critical Skill: How Bees Map Routes
B. The Honeybee Migration: How Climate Impacts
C. The Magnetic Mystery: How Honeybees Navigate
D. A Hidden Mechanism: What Disrupts Bee Immigration

Google Shopping is transforming the way people discover and purchase fashion items by integrating advanced AI tools that make shopping more intuitive and personalized. Every day, over a billion shopping searches occur on Google, yet more than half of shoppers report difficulties finding products that match their specific vision—whether it’s a “colorful midi dress with big daisies” or “tailored wide-leg trousers.” To bridge this gap, Google has rolled out innovative features designed to enhance product discovery and decision-making.
One standout feature is Vision Match, now available to all mobile users in the U. S. This tool allows shoppers to describe their ideal item in detail—such as “strapless satin evening gown with lace trim”—and generate AI-powered visual suggestions. By selecting the “Can’t find it Create it!” option or using the “Create & shop” button in the Shopping tab, users receive tailored recommendations that bring their fashion ideas to life. The feature not only displays AI-generated images but also surfaces similar purchasable products from various retailers.
Another key advancement is the expanded virtual try-on tool, which now includes pants, skirts, and dresses in addition to tops. When browsing items labeled with a “try on” badge, shoppers can see how garments fit on real models representing a wide range of body types, from XXS to XXL. Google’s improved machine learning models even generate complete outfit previews, pairing selected bottoms with complementary tops and shoes for a realistic styling experience. This helps users visualize how pieces will look in real life, reducing uncertainty and boosting confidence in their purchases.
By combining AI-generated visuals, precise search matching, and immersive try-on capabilities, Google Shopping is addressing common frustrations in online fashion retail. These tools aim to replicate (复制) the in-store experience of exploring styles and assessing fit, all within a digital platform. While currently limited to the U. S. market, these innovations signal a shift toward more interactive, user-centric e-commerce—one where finding the perfect item is as simple as describing it or seeing it worn before clicking “buy”.
32. What is the main purpose of Google Shopping’s new AI tools
A. To favor certain retailers. B. To replace human designers.
C. To decrease search numbers. D. To enhance shopping experience.
33. How does the “Vision Match” feature work
A. By completing purchases automatically. B. By generating AI-based visual suggestions.
C. By enabling custom clothing design services. D. By displaying only partnered brands’ products.
34. What is a key benefit of the virtual try-on tool
A. It displays clothing fit on diverse body types.
B. It provides discounts for trying items virtually.
C. It automatically creates outfits from different stores.
D. It allows users to redesign clothes before purchasing.
35. What future trend does Google Shopping’s AI signal
A. More physical stores. B. Less product details.
C. Fewer global markets. D. Interactive online shopping.

Heavy and Even Moderate Drinking Can Harm the Brain
A study in Neurology suggests that alcohol consumption, even at moderate levels, may damage brain health. Researchers analyzed brain tissue from 1,700 late individuals and found that those who drank eight or more alcoholic beverages (饮料) weekly doubled their risk of dementia-related brain lesions. ____36____
The study categorized participants into four groups: nondrinkers, moderate drinkers (≤7 drinks/ week), heavy drinkers (≥8 drinks/ week), and former heavy drinkers. Heavy drinkers showed a 133% higher risk of brain lesions compared to nondrinkers. ____37____ “These results challenge the assumption that only heavy drinking harms the brain,” says lead researcher Dr. Alberto Justo.
____38____ For example, heavy drinkers had lower rates of hypertension and stroke. However, researchers noted that this group died 13 years earlier on average, potentially avoiding age-related conditions.
To assess alcohol’s impact, scientists examined markers like tau tangles (linked to Alzheimer’s) and blood vessel damage. ____39____ “Neuropathological changes can occur even with moderate consumption,” explains Dr. Justo.
The study defined “heavy drinking” as ≥8 drinks/ week, differing from U. S. standards (≥15 drinks/ week for men). Top American drinkers average 74 drinks weekly, far exceeding the level set by the study. This difference highlights regional variations in defining alcohol abuse.
Despite its insights, the research has limitations. Cognitive data relied on family reports, which may lack accuracy. ____40____ Dr. Mollie Monnig, not involved in the study, cautions, “Associations don’t prove causation.”
Experts recommend practical steps to reduce alcohol intake, such as tracking consumption, taking breaks (e. g. “Sober October”), and alternating with nonalcoholic drinks. “Small changes can significantly lower risks,” advises addiction specialist Dr. Christopher Kahler.
A. Meanwhile, moderate drinkers still faced a 60% increased risk.
B. However, self-reported data may weaken the study’s reliability.
C. Genetic factors were not considered, possibly affecting the results.
D. Such damage disrupts blood flow and contributes to cognitive decline.
E. Not drinking remains the safest choice for long-term brain health.
F. The finding emphasizes the need for stricter alcohol guidelines globally.
G. Surprisingly, some outcomes contradicted common health assumptions.

【答案】The Power of School Clubs
When I entered senior high school, I signed up for the Drama Club. As its member, I once performed in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Night after night, we rehearsed under dim lights, bringing Shakespeare’s words to life.
This journey was more than acting. It improved my English and deepened my love for literature. What touched me most was our response to crisis — when the lead actor fell ill, we stayed calm, adjusted roles, and stood together. The final show wasn’t perfect, but it was ours.
To me, school clubs are not just after-school fun — they are where we grow. They teach teamwork, courage, and help us discover who we are. Every student should find a club that speaks to their heart — because in that space, we often meet a better version of ourselves.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
An urgent call came into Ryan’s bar this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the dive beach bar in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or $150 in cash—but her wedding ring was put inside.
Ryan, 42, didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place, Ryan’s at Red Dogs. The bar had long served as a sanctuary for the homeless, offering not only hot meals but also job opportunities. In fact, half of his current staff were former homeless individuals to whom he had given a second chance. So he set out to find the wallet.
He spent hours checking recordings from 16 different security cameras, watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man in a jacket approached the bench, touched something in his pocket, and walked off. That night Ryan posted a video clip on the bar’s Facebook page.
Instead of exposing the young man’s face to shame him, Ryan chose to post with a question: “Does anyone know this person ”
Within hours, Ryan got a text from 17-year-old Jimmy, who’d heard about the post from his sister. Jimmy admitted having taken the wallet and told Ryan he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet off the docks into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.
During their phone conversation, Jimmy opened up about his family conflicts and confessed to living in the woods for the past week. Though unable to see the young man directly, Ryan—a father of two with a third child on the way—pieced together Jimmy’s situation from his trembling voice and fragmented explanations.
“This isn’t some hardened criminal,” he insisted. But with the missing ring involved, the situation had become serious: the police investigation could lead to criminal accusations. Determined to help, Ryan vowed to protect the young man who seemed more of a kid than a lawbreaker.

【答案】 The next morning, Ryan told the teen to meet him at the docks. Jimmy arrived, shoulders hunched and eyes fixed on the ground, avoiding Ryan’s gaze. To his surprise, the man handed him a wrapped sandwich. “Eat first,” Ryan said, his tone softer than expected. As Jimmy nibbled silently, Ryan introduced a local dive team, and declared his plan to recover that ring. Jimmy’s eyes widened — he hadn’t expected this effort. For hours, the team combed the dark waters near the docks. Each time a diver emerged with nothing but handfuls of seaweed, Jimmy’s fists clenched tighter. He mumbled apologies, words dissolving into the crash of waves, but Ryan silenced him, “We won’t stop until we find it”, his voice firm yet calm.
Then one of the divers emerged from the depths of the water. In his hand was the wallet, the ring glinting faintly under the noon sun. Jimmy rubbed his eyes as if to confirm it wasn’t a dream. When Ryan informed the owner her ring was found and he would pay the $150 on Jimmy’s behalf, she was overcome with emotion. Moved by his gesture, she immediately agreed to drop the theft charges against Jimmy. Yet the matter didn’t end there. Troubled about Jimmy’s predicament, Ryan even offered the kid a job at his bar. By sunset, Jimmy was mopping floors there, his first wage set aside to repay the stolen $150. The wedding ring sat behind the counter, awaiting its owner — a small circle of gold, gleaming not with wealth, but with the quiet light of grace, proof that even in the shadow of a mistake, kindness can lead the way home.
