A
Thanks to their fame, London’s encyclopedic museums can get crowded. But there are ways to experience these cultural powerhouses in relative peace and with a difference.
NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
While wide-eyed schoolkids might rule the roost during the day, this beloved museum is for adults only when dusk falls. The monthly Lates are something special: DJs entertain below the entrance hall’s vast blue whale skeleton, food and drink stalls pepper the corridors and exhibitions — like the must-see Wildlife Photographer of the Year — can be enjoyed without having to elbow people out of the way.
TATE MODERN
For gallery veterans marking the weekend and arts newbies looking for some culture on a Friday night, Tate Modern’s Uniqlo Lates have become a popular fixture in the calendar. Taking place on the final Friday of the month, these free events bring together and celebrate creativity in all its forms, with banging tunes, challenging artwork and fun workshops. Of course, this is also the ideal opportunity to have a peek at the world-class modern art collection.
V&A MUSEUM
Stylish, fashion-forward Londoners love the Victoria and Albert Museum. This design powerhouse has hosted sell-out exhibitions dedicated to wedding dresses, underwear and kimonos, plus creations by Christian Dior and Alexander McQueen. The free Lates, on the last Friday of the month, are a chance to delve behind the permanent displays, with visitors egged on to participate in performances, live installations and debates.
NATIONAL GALLERY
This world-class collection opened in 1824 with the intention of bringing art to everybody. This ethos lives on now more than ever; it’s free entry and there are daily talks covering everything from medieval portraiture to French Impressionism. Then there are the Friday night Lates, life-drawing classes, film screenings. Why shouldn’t Van Gogh’s *Sunflowers* brighten everybody’s day!
1. Which Museum’s Lates are not free
A. NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM.
B. TATE MODERN.
C. V&A MUSEUM.
D. NATIONAL GALLERY.
2. What do TATE MODERN and NATIONAL GALLERY have in common
A. Both are open only to adults at night.
B. Both have live shows and firsthand learning.
C. Both have Lates only on the last Friday of the month.
D. Both provide access to appreciate world-class art collections.
3 Where is the text probably from
A. A textbook on art.
B. A business website.
C. A travel brochure.
D. A school newspaper.
B
In August 1914, days before the outbreak of the First World War, the renowned explorer Ernest Shackleton and a crew of twenty-seven set sail for the South Atlantic in pursuit of the last unclaimed prize in the history of exploration: the first crossing on foot of the Antarctic continent. Weaving a treacherous path through the freezing Weddell Sea, they had come within eighty-five miles of their destination when their ship, *Endurance*, was trapped fast in the ice pack. Soon the ship was crushed like matchwood, leaving the crew stranded on the floes (浮冰). Their ordeal would last for twenty months, and they would make two near-fatal attempts to escape by open boat before their final rescue.
Drawing upon previously unavailable sources, Caroline Alexander gives us a fascinating account of Shackleton’s expedition—one of history’s greatest epics of survival. And she presents the astonishing work of Frank Hurley, the Australian photographer whose visual record of the adventure has never before been published comprehensively. Together, text and image re-create the terrible beauty of Antarctica, the awful destruction of the ship, and the crew’s heroic daily struggle to stay alive, a miracle achieved largely through Shackleton’s inspiring leadership.
The survival of Hurley’s remarkable images is scarcely less miraculous: The original glass plate negatives, from which most of the book’s illustrations are superbly reproduced, were stored in hermetically sealed (密封的) canisters (胶卷盒) that survived months on the ice floes, a week in an open boat on the polar seas, and several more months buried in the snows of a rocky outcrop called Elephant Island. Finally, Hurley was forced to abandon his professional equipment; he captured some of the most unforgettable images of the struggle with a pocket camera and three rolls of Kodak film.
Published in conjunction with the American Museum of Natural History’s landmark exhibition on Shackleton’s journey, *The Endurance* thrillingly recounts one of the last great adventures in the Heroic Age of exploration—perhaps the greatest of them all.
4. What’s the job of Caroline Alexander
A. Exploring the Antarctic continent.
B. Publishing the story of *Endurance*.
C. Setting down the story of the expedition.
D. Providing the visual record of the adventure.
5. What is NOT true about the expedition
A. It was started by a group of brave explorers.
B. All the images were not lost due to the pocket camera.
C. Shackleton’s inspiring leadership made a miracle.
D. It is regarded as the greatest expedition in history.
6. Which word can be used to describe Frank Hurley
A. Talented but fragile.
B. Trust-worthy but unemotional.
C. Kind-hearted and quick-witted.
D. Strong-minded and decisive.
7. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To introduce a book.
B. To tell a story.
C. To illustrate a fact.
D. To share an experience.
C
By the 1930s, the haunting howls of wolves fell mostly silent across America’s West. Their loss to the region has been largely overlooked by humans, even in our scientific research, a new review finds, but the impact of their absence is written loudly in the missing trees.
“Researchers generally agree that the loss of wolves and other large predators, followed by increased browsing by elk (驯鹿), was the main cause for the decline in woody plant communities,” says Oregon State University ecologist William Ripple and colleagues.
They reviewed 96 ecological studies conducted between 1955 and 2021 in 11 national parks and discovered that only 39 considered the absence of the gray wolf. “Ignoring how an ecosystem has changed due to the absence of a large predator can have serious implications...like diagnosing a sick patient without a baseline health exam.” the researchers explain.
The loss of an ecosystem’s apex (顶级的) predator causes domino effects through the food chain, known as trophic cascades. These cascades can be complex, and not every landscape will experience the same effects, even if the same species are present. Reintroducing lost species, like wolves in Yellowstone National Park, may not repair all broken connections once changes have taken place.
Historical records across the 11 parks reveal declines in several tree species since wolves disappeared. The removal of wolves has disrupted the web of connections coming from their predation on deer and impacted ecosystem interactions around coyotes. Wolves can reduce coyote populations, thus mediating (调节) their predation on prey and smaller predators.
Ecosystem restoration is more critical than ever as our destructive impacts on our living biosphere (生物圈) accelerate. To have any success, it is crucial that we better understand the interactions that govern these environments in their historical functioning state, the researchers urge. “We hope our study will be of use to both conservation organizations and government agencies in identifying ecosystem management goals,” says Ripple.
8. What can be inferred from paragraphs 2 and 3
A. Elk is to blame for the decrease of plants.
B. Some studies failed to consider vital links.
C. Researchers unified their ideas to confirm their ideas.
D. Ecosystems stay stable without certain species.
9. Which of the following best describes the cascades
A. Well-balanced.
B. Out-of-control.
C. Context-dependent.
D. Ever-lasting.
10. What will happen to the ecosystem if the apex predator is missing
A. Overpopulation of certain species.
B. Invasion of foreign species.
C. A higher diversity of plant life.
D. Extinction of small predators.
11. Why does the author write the text
A. To advocate the reintroduction of wolves.
B. To increase funding for ecosystem restoration.
C. To diversify the ecological protection practice.
D. To point out a long-ignored environmental issue.
D
My grandmother was an extraordinary woman who single-handedly raised three children while working multiple jobs and volunteering in her community. I loved her for her warm heart and belief in nature. But there’s one particular thing that I didn’t see eye-to-eye with her: her firm belief that everything used to be much better. My grandmother criticized everything from modern food options to modern equipment like computers. Once, she threw out a calculator because she thought it unnecessary.
This worldview is a classic example of “declinism”, a pessimistic thinking bias leading people to believe that things are constantly getting worse over time. It reflects an overly negative view of the current situation, and usually goes hand in hand with tendencies to romanticize the past. Individuals with declinist views often recall positive memories of the past while overlooking negative ones.
Negative news reporting often triggers (引起) declinism. Alarmist news stories of war, disaster, and suffering frequently occupy TV and newspaper headlines because they’re effective in grabbing attention. With hopelessness occupying each title page, it’s hardly surprising if people assume that things are going downhill. Once the seed of declinism is planted, the notion is difficult to shake off. Confirmation bias can perpetuate the negative worldview because people seek out information to confirm their ideas.
Declinism plays into humans’ rooted fear of change. Sticking with what’s known is easy. Doing things “the way we’ve always done them” provides comfort in an uncertain world. Declinism may even have evolutionary advantages. Pessimistic worrying about the world’s decline may motivate us to get prepared and minimize personal risks.
To deal with declinism, factual, statistical information might go a long way. Providing objective facts about current levels of crime, poverty, and suffering compared to past data can challenge negative worldviews. One possibility could be to use the power of AI to provide relevant information and tailor it to address particular concerns, supported by recent research that found chatbot (聊天机器人) dialogues to be effective for tackling misperceptions.
12. What does the author’s grandmother think of modern conveniences
A They are odd.
B. They are nonsense.
C. They are vital.
D. They are convenient.
13. What does the underlined word “perpetuate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Carry on.
B. Work out.
C. Make up.
D. Turn up.
14. What is paragraph 4 about
A. What is the result of declinism
B. How does declinism shape thinking
C. Who does declinism affect most
D. Why is declinism so persuasive
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Overcoming Declinism: Turning to AI
B. Embrace Change: Dealing with Declinism
C. The Past and Present: A Comparative Angle
D. The Power of Memory: Remembering Old Days
二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’re lucky to live in an age where the sum total of human knowledge is pretty much available at the click of a button. We’ve never had access to so much information. ____16____So here are a few strategies to navigate your way through.
We all enjoy that sweet dopamine hit of feeling like we’re right. In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence if it confirms what we already think we know and much more likely to discount information if it contradicts our views. ____17____ It’s one of the key “cognitive biases” that humans have, and it operates at an unconscious level, affecting our ability to process information. This is especially true for issues which are emotionally charged, or where our views are deeply held. But it can come into play at any time. ____18____
So many of our discussions take place on social media platforms where algorithms (算法) reward our desire to see and hear our views confirmed. But in life, most situations are nuanced and complicated — acknowledging that can enrich the way that we view the world. For example, what color is the sky Well, the obvious answer is blue. But at sunrise or sunset, it can be red. At night, midnight blue or black. But imagine for a moment the blue of the sky on a sunny day. Is it really blue The color blue has a short wavelength, meaning it scatters more than other colors, making it more visible to the human eye. ____19____ Even something that seems totally self-evident can be more nuanced than you think.
____20____ Or at least seriously consider that you might actually be wrong. Putting yourself in the other person’s shoes can lead to much more productive outcomes. Really try to understand where the other person is coming from. It can be challenging, but that’s the point. This can only work when both parties are engaging in good faith.
A. So we have to make judgments about what is behind it.
B. So don’t rush to decide, and be actively prepared to change your mind.
C. One approach to, well, arguing, is to let go of the idea of being “right”.
D. You need to know what you really want before you make any decision.
E. It’s what’s known as “confirmation bias”.
F. But not all of what’s out there is quite what it seems.
G. So the sky looks blue to us humans, even though there’s a whole spectrum of colors out there.

Lee will go around to people and offer them a little red heart in ____24____ for a hug.
One day, Lee’s friend Nancy Johnston ____25____ on his doorstep. Nancy is a professional clown and she was wearing her clown costume, make-up and all. “Lee, ____26____ a bunch of your Hugger Kits and let’s go out to the home for ____27____.”
When they arrived, they started giving out balloon hats, hearts and hugs to the patients. Lee had never before hugged people who were terminally ill, severely retarded or quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪的). It was definitely a(an) ____28____ . But after a while it became easier, with Lee ____29____ a group of doctors and nurses who followed them from ward to ward.
Finally, Lee came to the last person, Leonard. Lee looked at the man dribbling (流口水) onto his bib and ____30____. Nancy whispered, “Come on, Lee. He’s a(an) ____31____ human being, too, isn’t he ” Lee took one of his little red hearts and placed it on Leonard’s bib. He took a deep ____32____, leaned down and gave Leonard a hug.
____33____ , Leonard began to squeal, “Eeeeehh! Eeeeehh!” Lee turned to the staff for some sort of ____34____ only to find that every doctor, nurse and orderly was ____35____. Lee asked the head nurse, “What’s going on ” Lee will never forget what she said: “This is the first time in 23 years we’ve seen Leonard smile.”

Unlike Special Forces tourism, ____36____ the aim is to hit as many famous spots as possible in the shortest amount of time, Citywalk is more about soaking up the atmosphere of the city. ____37____ “roaming” on foot, Citywalkers get away from Internet-famous hotspots and ____38____ (commerce) hubs, instead seeking out interactions with locals, authentic snacks, and a deeper appreciation for the history and culture of the city.
In some cases, Citywalk is much like a food tour, with walkers carefully planning out routes with certain snack spots in mind. Seasoned Citywalkers ____39____ (hop) on the trend to share their own ____40____ (recommend) routes and snack spots via social media, quickly racking up thousands of new subscribers over the past month.

47. 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。
The notice was posted next to the tenants’ mailboxes in the apartment building I’d just moved into. “A Mitzvah for Mrs. Green,” it read. “Sign up to drive Mrs. G in 3B home from her chemotherapy (化疗) treatments twice a month.”
Since I wasn’t a driver, I couldn’t add my name, but the word mitzvah lingered in my thoughts. It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. It is more than that, really, more like a commandment (戒律) to do things for others.
And according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people help me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.”
Grandma would be shaking her head at me right now. Several of my friends at the graduate school I attended nights had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I refused. Letting them help would have interfered with my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
Now, on the night of my final exam, the snow was falling steadily. For an hour, I craned my neck at the bus stop, praying desperately that a bus would come. But obviously it’s not my lucky day. The wind at my back pushed me toward home.
What should I do Pride would not let me knock on a door and say, “It’s a 10-minute ride by car but a long wait for the bus, and it’s a 30-minute bus ride, so could you possibly give me a lift to school ” But this time I had no choice.
Pushing the door of my apartment building open, I found myself face to face with a woman at the mailbox.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I couldn’t believe what I had heard — The woman giving me a lift was Mrs. G in 3B!

Thanks to their fame, London’s encyclopedic museums can get crowded. But there are ways to experience these cultural powerhouses in relative peace and with a difference.
NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
While wide-eyed schoolkids might rule the roost during the day, this beloved museum is for adults only when dusk falls. The monthly Lates are something special: DJs entertain below the entrance hall’s vast blue whale skeleton, food and drink stalls pepper the corridors and exhibitions — like the must-see Wildlife Photographer of the Year — can be enjoyed without having to elbow people out of the way.
TATE MODERN
For gallery veterans marking the weekend and arts newbies looking for some culture on a Friday night, Tate Modern’s Uniqlo Lates have become a popular fixture in the calendar. Taking place on the final Friday of the month, these free events bring together and celebrate creativity in all its forms, with banging tunes, challenging artwork and fun workshops. Of course, this is also the ideal opportunity to have a peek at the world-class modern art collection.
V&A MUSEUM
Stylish, fashion-forward Londoners love the Victoria and Albert Museum. This design powerhouse has hosted sell-out exhibitions dedicated to wedding dresses, underwear and kimonos, plus creations by Christian Dior and Alexander McQueen. The free Lates, on the last Friday of the month, are a chance to delve behind the permanent displays, with visitors egged on to participate in performances, live installations and debates.
NATIONAL GALLERY
This world-class collection opened in 1824 with the intention of bringing art to everybody. This ethos lives on now more than ever; it’s free entry and there are daily talks covering everything from medieval portraiture to French Impressionism. Then there are the Friday night Lates, life-drawing classes, film screenings. Why shouldn’t Van Gogh’s *Sunflowers* brighten everybody’s day!

In August 1914, days before the outbreak of the First World War, the renowned explorer Ernest Shackleton and a crew of twenty-seven set sail for the South Atlantic in pursuit of the last unclaimed prize in the history of exploration: the first crossing on foot of the Antarctic continent. Weaving a treacherous path through the freezing Weddell Sea, they had come within eighty-five miles of their destination when their ship, *Endurance*, was trapped fast in the ice pack. Soon the ship was crushed like matchwood, leaving the crew stranded on the floes (浮冰). Their ordeal would last for twenty months, and they would make two near-fatal attempts to escape by open boat before their final rescue.
Drawing upon previously unavailable sources, Caroline Alexander gives us a fascinating account of Shackleton’s expedition—one of history’s greatest epics of survival. And she presents the astonishing work of Frank Hurley, the Australian photographer whose visual record of the adventure has never before been published comprehensively. Together, text and image re-create the terrible beauty of Antarctica, the awful destruction of the ship, and the crew’s heroic daily struggle to stay alive, a miracle achieved largely through Shackleton’s inspiring leadership.
The survival of Hurley’s remarkable images is scarcely less miraculous: The original glass plate negatives, from which most of the book’s illustrations are superbly reproduced, were stored in hermetically sealed (密封的) canisters (胶卷盒) that survived months on the ice floes, a week in an open boat on the polar seas, and several more months buried in the snows of a rocky outcrop called Elephant Island. Finally, Hurley was forced to abandon his professional equipment; he captured some of the most unforgettable images of the struggle with a pocket camera and three rolls of Kodak film.
Published in conjunction with the American Museum of Natural History’s landmark exhibition on Shackleton’s journey, *The Endurance* thrillingly recounts one of the last great adventures in the Heroic Age of exploration—perhaps the greatest of them all.

By the 1930s, the haunting howls of wolves fell mostly silent across America’s West. Their loss to the region has been largely overlooked by humans, even in our scientific research, a new review finds, but the impact of their absence is written loudly in the missing trees.
“Researchers generally agree that the loss of wolves and other large predators, followed by increased browsing by elk (驯鹿), was the main cause for the decline in woody plant communities,” says Oregon State University ecologist William Ripple and colleagues.
They reviewed 96 ecological studies conducted between 1955 and 2021 in 11 national parks and discovered that only 39 considered the absence of the gray wolf. “Ignoring how an ecosystem has changed due to the absence of a large predator can have serious implications...like diagnosing a sick patient without a baseline health exam.” the researchers explain.
The loss of an ecosystem’s apex (顶级的) predator causes domino effects through the food chain, known as trophic cascades. These cascades can be complex, and not every landscape will experience the same effects, even if the same species are present. Reintroducing lost species, like wolves in Yellowstone National Park, may not repair all broken connections once changes have taken place.
Historical records across the 11 parks reveal declines in several tree species since wolves disappeared. The removal of wolves has disrupted the web of connections coming from their predation on deer and impacted ecosystem interactions around coyotes. Wolves can reduce coyote populations, thus mediating (调节) their predation on prey and smaller predators.
Ecosystem restoration is more critical than ever as our destructive impacts on our living biosphere (生物圈) accelerate. To have any success, it is crucial that we better understand the interactions that govern these environments in their historical functioning state, the researchers urge. “We hope our study will be of use to both conservation organizations and government agencies in identifying ecosystem management goals,” says Ripple.
8. What can be inferred from paragraphs 2 and 3
A. Elk is to blame for the decrease of plants.
B. Some studies failed to consider vital links.
C. Researchers unified their ideas to confirm their ideas.
D. Ecosystems stay stable without certain species.
9. Which of the following best describes the cascades
A. Well-balanced.
B. Out-of-control.
C. Context-dependent.
D. Ever-lasting.
10. What will happen to the ecosystem if the apex predator is missing
A. Overpopulation of certain species.
B. Invasion of foreign species.
C. A higher diversity of plant life.
D. Extinction of small predators.
11. Why does the author write the text
A. To advocate the reintroduction of wolves.
B. To increase funding for ecosystem restoration.
C. To diversify the ecological protection practice.
D. To point out a long-ignored environmental issue.

My grandmother was an extraordinary woman who single-handedly raised three children while working multiple jobs and volunteering in her community. I loved her for her warm heart and belief in nature. But there’s one particular thing that I didn’t see eye-to-eye with her: her firm belief that everything used to be much better. My grandmother criticized everything from modern food options to modern equipment like computers. Once, she threw out a calculator because she thought it unnecessary.
This worldview is a classic example of “declinism”, a pessimistic thinking bias leading people to believe that things are constantly getting worse over time. It reflects an overly negative view of the current situation, and usually goes hand in hand with tendencies to romanticize the past. Individuals with declinist views often recall positive memories of the past while overlooking negative ones.
Negative news reporting often triggers (引起) declinism. Alarmist news stories of war, disaster, and suffering frequently occupy TV and newspaper headlines because they’re effective in grabbing attention. With hopelessness occupying each title page, it’s hardly surprising if people assume that things are going downhill. Once the seed of declinism is planted, the notion is difficult to shake off. Confirmation bias can perpetuate the negative worldview because people seek out information to confirm their ideas.
Declinism plays into humans’ rooted fear of change. Sticking with what’s known is easy. Doing things “the way we’ve always done them” provides comfort in an uncertain world. Declinism may even have evolutionary advantages. Pessimistic worrying about the world’s decline may motivate us to get prepared and minimize personal risks.
To deal with declinism, factual, statistical information might go a long way. Providing objective facts about current levels of crime, poverty, and suffering compared to past data can challenge negative worldviews. One possibility could be to use the power of AI to provide relevant information and tailor it to address particular concerns, supported by recent research that found chatbot (聊天机器人) dialogues to be effective for tackling misperceptions.
12. What does the author’s grandmother think of modern conveniences
A They are odd.
B. They are nonsense.
C. They are vital.
D. They are convenient.
13. What does the underlined word “perpetuate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Carry on.
B. Work out.
C. Make up.
D. Turn up.
14. What is paragraph 4 about
A. What is the result of declinism
B. How does declinism shape thinking
C. Who does declinism affect most
D. Why is declinism so persuasive
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Overcoming Declinism: Turning to AI
B. Embrace Change: Dealing with Declinism
C. The Past and Present: A Comparative Angle
D. The Power of Memory: Remembering Old Days

We’re lucky to live in an age where the sum total of human knowledge is pretty much available at the click of a button. We’ve never had access to so much information. ____16____So here are a few strategies to navigate your way through.
We all enjoy that sweet dopamine hit of feeling like we’re right. In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence if it confirms what we already think we know and much more likely to discount information if it contradicts our views. ____17____ It’s one of the key “cognitive biases” that humans have, and it operates at an unconscious level, affecting our ability to process information. This is especially true for issues which are emotionally charged, or where our views are deeply held. But it can come into play at any time. ____18____
So many of our discussions take place on social media platforms where algorithms (算法) reward our desire to see and hear our views confirmed. But in life, most situations are nuanced and complicated — acknowledging that can enrich the way that we view the world. For example, what color is the sky Well, the obvious answer is blue. But at sunrise or sunset, it can be red. At night, midnight blue or black. But imagine for a moment the blue of the sky on a sunny day. Is it really blue The color blue has a short wavelength, meaning it scatters more than other colors, making it more visible to the human eye. ____19____ Even something that seems totally self-evident can be more nuanced than you think.
____20____ Or at least seriously consider that you might actually be wrong. Putting yourself in the other person’s shoes can lead to much more productive outcomes. Really try to understand where the other person is coming from. It can be challenging, but that’s the point. This can only work when both parties are engaging in good faith.
A. So we have to make judgments about what is behind it.
B. So don’t rush to decide, and be actively prepared to change your mind.
C. One approach to, well, arguing, is to let go of the idea of being “right”.
D. You need to know what you really want before you make any decision.
E. It’s what’s known as “confirmation bias”.
F. But not all of what’s out there is quite what it seems.
G. So the sky looks blue to us humans, even though there’s a whole spectrum of colors out there.

The concert, given by a group of professional folk music artists, showcased traditional instruments like the guzheng, erhu, and pipa, each with its unique sound and history. Their fingers flew across the strings and keys with effortless ease, yet every note was played with deliberate intent and emotion.
I was so immersed in the rich diversity of Chinese folk music. It deepened my connection to my roots and made me appreciate music’s universal language.
Yours,

47. 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。
The notice was posted next to the tenants’ mailboxes in the apartment building I’d just moved into. “A Mitzvah for Mrs. Green,” it read. “Sign up to drive Mrs. G in 3B home from her chemotherapy (化疗) treatments twice a month.”
Since I wasn’t a driver, I couldn’t add my name, but the word mitzvah lingered in my thoughts. It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. It is more than that, really, more like a commandment (戒律) to do things for others.
And according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people help me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.”
Grandma would be shaking her head at me right now. Several of my friends at the graduate school I attended nights had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I refused. Letting them help would have interfered with my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
Now, on the night of my final exam, the snow was falling steadily. For an hour, I craned my neck at the bus stop, praying desperately that a bus would come. But obviously it’s not my lucky day. The wind at my back pushed me toward home.
What should I do Pride would not let me knock on a door and say, “It’s a 10-minute ride by car but a long wait for the bus, and it’s a 30-minute bus ride, so could you possibly give me a lift to school ” But this time I had no choice.
Pushing the door of my apartment building open, I found myself face to face with a woman at the mailbox.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I couldn’t believe what I had heard — The woman giving me a lift was Mrs. G in 3B!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Pushing the door of my apartment building open, I found myself face to face with a woman at the mailbox. I blurted, “Could you possibly give me a lift ” I hurriedly explained, “I never ask anybody for a lift, but...” An odd look crossed the woman’s face but she said yes happily. When she dropped me off at the school gate, I thanked her sincerely . My final exam was a breeze compared with the ordeal I’d gone through to get to it. Back home as I walked up the stairs, I passed my lifesaver leaving her neighbor’s apartment. “Good night, Mrs. Green. See you tomorrow,” the neighbor was saying.
I couldn’t believe what I had heard — The woman giving me a lift was Mrs. G in 3B! What I had done hit me: I had asked a person struggling with cancer to go out in a snowstorm to give me a lift to school. “Oh, Mrs. Green,” I stammered, “I didn’t realize who you were. Please forgive me.” “May I tell you something ” she asked. “Of course.” I answered. She said. “I used to be able to do for other people. Now everybody keeps doing for me. But tonight I felt like part of the human race again. Thank you.” At that moment, I got what “Mitzvah” meant, as my grandmother had told me.
