(2025·云南高一月考)
I turned off the classroom light, only to find a tearful Laura outside the door.“Sister Jo, can I talk to you Do you have time ”
Switching the light on again, I smiled, “I always have time for you, honey.” Honestly speaking, Laura's troubled face left me no choice.We sat in the empty classroom as she described the effect her dad's alcoholism(酗酒) was having.I listened, handing her tissues(纸巾).After half an hour, she said, “I know you can't do anything about it, but thanks for listening.My mom keeps saying, ‘He's sick! Alcoholism is a disease!’” I gave her a hug.Then it hit me.Why hadn't I taken Laura out walking with me
The next day was just as lovely.“Today I'll walk!” I promised.But at 3:00 pm, Brian was at the door.“Hi, can I talk to you ” “Sure,” I answered.“But it's such perfect weather.Can we go for a walk ” We circled the small lake near our school and talked about helping emotionally(感情上) troubled kids.
On Laura's next visit, she happily accepted my invitation to walk.I had a surprise for her.Classmate Tom had given me brochures (小手册) from Alateen.“Someone in your class said his uncle has the same problem.” I told Laura.“If I may share your story, he'll drive you to Alateen meetings.By attending Alateen meetings, young people gain an understanding of alcoholism and feel the advantages of realizing they are not alone with an alcoholic parent.”
And so, it became a pattern.Whoever came to chat after school was invited to walk.In the walks, these kids find relief from the pressure and frustrations(挫折) they face.And I've lost ten pounds!

I turned off the classroom light, only to find a tearful Laura outside the door.“Sister Jo, can I talk to you Do you have time ”
Switching the light on again, I smiled, “I always have time for you, honey.” Honestly speaking, Laura’s troubled face left me no choice.We sat in the empty classroom as she described the effect her dad’s
alcoholism(酗酒) was having.I listened, handing her tissues(纸巾).After half an hour, she said, “I know you can’t do anything about it, but thanks for listening.My mom keeps saying, ‘He’s sick! Alcoholism is a disease! ’” I gave her a hug.Then it hit me.Why hadn’t I taken Laura out walking with me
The next day was just as lovely.“Today I’ll walk!” I promised.But at 3:00 pm, Brian was at the door.“Hi, can I talk to you ” “Sure,” I answered.“But it’s such perfect weather.Can we go for a walk ” We circled the small lake near our school and talked about helping emotionally(感情上) troubled kids.
On Laura’s next visit, she happily accepted my invitation to walk.I had a surprise for her.Classmate Tom had given me brochures (小手册) from Alateen.“Someone in your class said his uncle has the same problem.” I told Laura.“If I may share your story, he’ll drive you to Alateen meetings.By attending Alateen meetings, young people gain an understanding of alcoholism and feel the advantages of realizing they are not alone with an alcoholic parent.”
And so, it became a pattern.Whoever came to chat after school was invited to walk.In the walks, these kids find relief from the pressure and frustrations(挫折) they face.And I’ve lost ten pounds!
