Ice climbing is a moving winter sport that combines excitement,skills and determination.
Back in 2018 and 2022,the sport was presented to the public during the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games and the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
If you are already interested in this sport,here are some of the world’s best places with special ice formations(冰构) that you shouldn’t miss.

China has a lot of ice walls,which are located in different mountains in the northern and western parts of the country.Among them,Sichuan Province’s Shuangqiaogou,or Twin Bridge Trench(双桥沟),in Mount Siguniang has some of the finest such spots.The ice season in the area usually starts from mid-December and runs through late February.Climbers can enjoy various ice formations along with a clean and quiet environment.

It was the sound of a fist on the body of Tony Bullimore’s overturned yacht(帆船)that told him he was not going to die.
The British yachtsman had spent four days and four nights inside his overturned yacht,hoping that he would be saved.Mr Bullimore had been stranded(搁浅)more than 1,500 miles from the Australian coast and 900 miles from Antarctica.
He described the horrific conditions that he had experienced.“Two-thirds of the yacht filled with water.There was a hole in the bottom of the yacht,in fact really at the top.I had to find myself a spot as high up as possible and put nets around it so that I could stay in there to get out of the water and to get away from everything.”
Faced with the danger of being dragged(拖)down with the boat,most people would have jumped clear.Mr Bullimore’s sense of calm,developed from years of yachting,taught him otherwise.He stayed with the yacht.
Once he had decided to stay with the yacht,Mr Bullimore’s priorities were to activate the distress beacon transmitter(遇险信标发射机).The yachtsman said that during the“horrific experience”he was “hanging on in there and believing something would happen and just fighting.”
Through four days of solitude(独处),he depended on “strong determination,a little water,a little chocolate” to sustain him.But even Mr Bullimore was at his endurance limit.“When I knew that the rescue was actually going to happen,I felt ecstatic,” he said.
24.What happened to Mr Bullimore
A.He was seasick.
B.He got lost at sea.
C.He’d met with a boat accident.
D.He was attacked while yachting.
25.How did Mr Bullimore react to the terrible circumstances
A.He dragged the yacht with a net.
B.He tried extremely hard to fix the yacht.
C.He left the yacht behind and swam to shore.
D.He stayed with the yacht and sent out a signal for help.
26.What does the underlined word“ecstatic”in the last paragraph probably mean
A.Proud. B.Disappointed.
C.Excited. D.Anxious.
27.Which of the following words can best describe Mr Bullimore
A.Humorous and straightforward.
B.Cool-minded and determined.
C.Adventurous and innovative.
D.Well-behaved and patient.
C
With increasing exposure to information through technology,our students are becoming less active and do not develop relationships with self,others and the environment.Outdoor Education does not only promote physical development in students but it also focuses on each of their personal,social and self-awareness development.
That is what the Outdoor Education Programme(OEP)at Marymount Convent School aims to do.The highlight of Marymount’s OEP is the adventure camp that helps students to grow in perseverance and courage as they tackle challenges.The adventure camp provides an opportunity for the students to learn more about basic survival skills,respect and responsibility for self,others and environmental awareness.
For the energetic ones,like Sofia-Jane Wong Enqi,the activities in OEP are a dream come true.She loves activities such as trekking(远足)and team-building activities.During trekking,the primary 6 student learnt the value of cooperation instead of competition.She discovered how easy it was for her and her teammates to complete challenges when people were not fighting to take the lead but instead stopping and listening to each other.
Another primary 6 student,Mithra Anandan,got an even greater benefit while hiking.She had never been very interested in physical activities but as she joined her friends on a hike,she learnt to persevere despite having to stop for breaks.Working hard to reach the end of the hike taught her the value of resilience(适应力)even if others can go farther or faster.It is not about a race;it is about completing and enjoying a journey.
Their parents also observed clear improvements in their children’s self-management and responsibility.“My parents praised me for my positive change in character and of course,I had burnt a good amount of calories!”says Mithra laughingly.Sofia-Jane adds,“Days after I returned from the camp,my mom said that I became more independent,cleaning up after my meals and doing my homework without being reminded.”
28.What does the underlined word“That”in paragraph 2 probably refer to
A.Involving parents in outdoor activities.
B.Increasing students’ exposure to technology.
C.Helping students enjoy their love of adventure.
D.Promoting the all-round development of students.
29.What did Sofia-Jane say about trekking
A.It taught her basic life skills.
B.It improved her self-management skills.
C.It raised her awareness of the environment.
D.It helped her know the importance of cooperation.
30.What benefit did Mithra gain while hiking
A.Great perseverance.
B.A competitive spirit.
C.Strong physical strength.
D.A sense of responsibility.
31.What is the best title for the text
A.How to survive in the wild
B.Why students love adventure camps
C.Beyond the classroom:learning in the great outdoors
D.Outdoor Education Programme:a team-building activity
D
After years of observing human nature,I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance: curiosity and discontent.I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either.And I have never known an average man who had both.The two belong together.
Together,these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more than ambition.Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground.Like Galileo,all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent,“Why Why Why ”
Fortunately,curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned.We are born with them and need only recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子),“is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it.We stop asking questions.We stop challenging custom.We just follow the crowd.And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average.It encourages us to occupy our own little corner,to avoid foolish leaps into the dark,to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people,and new ideas,with hesitation.But once having met and liked them,we think how terrible it would have been,had we missed the chance.We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start Modestly,so as not to become discouraged.I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself.She was curious about how the experts did it.Now she is one of the experts,writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses.You haven’t any special ability Most people don’t;there are only a few geniuses.You haven’t any time That’s good,because it’s always the people with no time who get things done.Harriet Stowe,mother of six,wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking.You’re too old Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel,and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However you start,remember there is no better time to start than right now,for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
32.In writing Paragraph 1,the author aims to　　　　.
A.propose a definition B.make a comparison
C.reach a conclusion D.present an argument
33.What does the example of Galileo tell us
A.Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.
B.Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.
C.Creativity results from challenging authority.
D.Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.
34.What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7
A.Gaining success helps you become an expert.
B.The genius tends to get things done creatively.
C.Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.
D.You should remain modest when approaching perfection.
35.What could be the best title for the passage
A.Curious Minds Never Feel Contented
B.Reflections on Human Nature
C.The Keys to Achievement
D.Never Too Late to Learn
第二节(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。
Many successful people would likely say they gained essential character traits(品质)as a result of a particular challenge,which ultimately aided them in their success.Their individual stories can be an inspiration for all those dealing with obstacles(阻碍).Take a look at the three strategies below that successful people have used to overcome physical,mental,and financial obstacles.
　36　
This is probably the one common characteristic of all successful people and it is an especially important trait for anyone struggling with a challenge.　37　.It is said that Edison tried thousands of ways to develop the electric light bulb(电灯泡) until he finally succeeded.“Why,I have not failed,”he once said.“I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Don’t make comparisons
　38　.However,such comparisons can be self-defeating.If you have a child who tends to compare himself negatively to his peers(同龄人),encourage him to celebrate what makes him different.Avoid evaluating skills based on comparisons with others.As Steve Jobs once said,“Your time is limited,so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”
Set goals
Try using the S.M.A.R.T.(smart,measurable,attainable,realistic,and timely)method to set achievable yet still challenging goals.　39　.Successful people have an end in sight and they work hard to get there.Actor Jim Carrey,who had to overcome dyslexia(诵读困难),wrote himself a check for $10 million for acting,dating it for ten years in the future.　40　.
A.Don’t give up
B.Find new solutions for overcoming obstacles
C.It is natural for kids and adults to compare themselves to others
D.Being compared to someone who seems more successful can be demotivating
E.Then track your progress so you can make adjustments along the way,if necessary
F.The inventor of the light bulb,Thomas Edison,is well known for his great perseverance
G.Keeping this check allowed him to visualize his goal of one day becoming a successful actor

I had a burning 　45　 within me to find a way out and to succeed.I had no idea how I was going to escape at the time,but I was 　46　 to do so.This determination led me to develop a strong work ethic(以勤勉工作为美德的价值观),and I was blessed with(享有) some 　47　 to change my mindset(心态)and therefore change my life.
I was 　48　 to be introduced to PMA(Positive Mental Attitude)by my high school basketball coaches.It was the first mindset 　49　 that changed my life.While majoring in accounting at my local college,suddenly it all 　50　.In addition,I had a professor who showed me a path to get out of my 　51　.I did everything he said and became an officer in the Accounting Association.

(2025·宁波高二下期中)
I used to be a lonely girl sitting at the back of the classroom.Having failed the college entrance exams and changed schools twice,I seldom smiled.Every day I would sit at the desk,staring into textbooks and exercises,motionless and heavy-hearted.However,my classmates were in a different picture.They were playing,laughing and chatting delightedly.Besides,I hated it when they were always answering the teachers’ questions loudly and confidently.Obviously,I had no friends in this fiercely competitive class.
Life is harder for senior students.Hardly does a day go by without exercises or tests.Every time when the scores came out mine wouldn’t be the first or second but last.I was especially tired of the endless exercises and exams,which I seemingly would never do well in.I was under a lot of pressure,feeling like a fish being fried in a pan.
Hanging over me was a dark cloud.The only dim light came from Mr.Smith.Every time I stepped into the classroom,he welcomed me with a warm smile;every time my gaze began to wander over the classroom or stare out of the window,his caring eyes would draw me back to his class.Besides,he was the only teacher who invited me to the office,talking about my studies and scores.I remembered when I came out of his office,I felt refreshed believing that I could work harder.
I was feeling everything was changing for the better.I prepared hard for the final exam of the first semester,desiring to prove that I was not the last one.So before Mr.Smith told us the test result,I was expecting something good in store for me.
But I was still the last one in the class.A burst of sadness and shame consuming me,I was heartbroken.

Ice climbing is a moving winter sport that combines excitement,skills and determination.
Back in 2018 and 2022,the sport was presented to the public during the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games and the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
If you are already interested in this sport,here are some of the world’s best places with special ice formations(冰构) that you shouldn’t miss.
Ouray,Colorado,the US
Ouray offers climbers easy access to more than 200 named climbs,with free entrance to the park.The ice park also provides professional guidance and services for beginners.Ouray usually hosts the biggest ice festival in North America every January.
Shuangqiaogou,Sichuan,China
China has a lot of ice walls,which are located in different mountains in the northern and western parts of the country.Among them,Sichuan Province’s Shuangqiaogou,or Twin Bridge Trench(双桥沟),in Mount Siguniang has some of the finest such spots.The ice season in the area usually starts from mid-December and runs through late February.Climbers can enjoy various ice formations along with a clean and quiet environment.
Valdez,Alaska,the US
Alaska’s surprising Valdez area has been attracting world-class climbers to the area for ten years.Each year,climbers go there to follow classic routes such as Sheep Creek and Solomon Gulch(希普河和所罗门峡谷).Others explore the area by themselves,hoping to find the next classic site on their own adventures.The climbers can find glacier hiking,skiing and sled(雪橇)trips there.

It was the sound of a fist on the body of Tony Bullimore’s overturned yacht(帆船)that told him he was not going to die.
The British yachtsman had spent four days and four nights inside his overturned yacht,hoping that he would be saved.Mr Bullimore had been stranded(搁浅)more than 1,500 miles from the Australian coast and 900 miles from Antarctica.
He described the horrific conditions that he had experienced.“Two-thirds of the yacht filled with water.There was a hole in the bottom of the yacht,in fact really at the top.I had to find myself a spot as high up as possible and put nets around it so that I could stay in there to get out of the water and to get away from everything.”
Faced with the danger of being dragged(拖)down with the boat,most people would have jumped clear.Mr Bullimore’s sense of calm,developed from years of yachting,taught him otherwise.He stayed with the yacht.
Once he had decided to stay with the yacht,Mr Bullimore’s priorities were to activate the distress beacon transmitter(遇险信标发射机).The yachtsman said that during the“horrific experience”he was “hanging on in there and believing something would happen and just fighting.”
Through four days of solitude(独处),he depended on “strong determination,a little water,a little chocolate” to sustain him.But even Mr Bullimore was at his endurance limit.“When I knew that the rescue was actually going to happen,I felt ecstatic,” he said.

With increasing exposure to information through technology,our students are becoming less active and do not develop relationships with self,others and the environment.Outdoor Education does not only promote physical development in students but it also focuses on each of their personal,social and self-awareness development.
That is what the Outdoor Education Programme(OEP)at Marymount Convent School aims to do.The highlight of Marymount’s OEP is the adventure camp that helps students to grow in perseverance and courage as they tackle challenges.The adventure camp provides an opportunity for the students to learn more about basic survival skills,respect and responsibility for self,others and environmental awareness.
For the energetic ones,like Sofia-Jane Wong Enqi,the activities in OEP are a dream come true.She loves activities such as trekking(远足)and team-building activities.During trekking,the primary 6 student learnt the value of cooperation instead of competition.She discovered how easy it was for her and her teammates to complete challenges when people were not fighting to take the lead but instead stopping and listening to each other.
Another primary 6 student,Mithra Anandan,got an even greater benefit while hiking.She had never been very interested in physical activities but as she joined her friends on a hike,she learnt to persevere despite having to stop for breaks.Working hard to reach the end of the hike taught her the value of resilience(适应力)even if others can go farther or faster.It is not about a race;it is about completing and enjoying a journey.
Their parents also observed clear improvements in their children’s self-management and responsibility.“My parents praised me for my positive change in character and of course,I had burnt a good amount of calories!”says Mithra laughingly.Sofia-Jane adds,“Days after I returned from the camp,my mom said that I became more independent,cleaning up after my meals and doing my homework without being reminded.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。Marymount Convent School的户外教育项目帮助培养了孩子们全方位的能力。
28.What does the underlined word“That”in paragraph 2 probably refer to

D.Promoting the all-round development of students.
答案　D　[代词指代题。根据第一段中的“Outdoor Education does not only ...but it also focuses on each of their personal,social and self-awareness development.”可知,第二段段首的That承接上文,指代既促进学生的身体健康发展,又关注学生个人、社会和自我意识等全方位的发展的目标。]

D
After years of observing human nature,I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance: curiosity and discontent.I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either.And I have never known an average man who had both.The two belong together.
Together,these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more than ambition.Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground.Like Galileo,all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent,“Why Why Why ”
Fortunately,curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned.We are born with them and need only recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子),“is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it.We stop asking questions.We stop challenging custom.We just follow the crowd.And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average.It encourages us to occupy our own little corner,to avoid foolish leaps into the dark,to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people,and new ideas,with hesitation.But once having met and liked them,we think how terrible it would have been,had we missed the chance.We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start Modestly,so as not to become discouraged.I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself.She was curious about how the experts did it.Now she is one of the experts,writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses.You haven’t any special ability Most people don’t;there are only a few geniuses.You haven’t any time That’s good,because it’s always the people with no time who get things done.Harriet Stowe,mother of six,wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking.You’re too old Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel,and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However you start,remember there is no better time to start than right now,for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了有伟大成就的人通常都拥有好奇和不满足的品质,但当下我们大多数人都失去了这种与生俱来的好奇心,随波逐流,一心渴望平静与安宁。作者通过举例,鼓励人们从现在开始,唤醒自己的好奇心和不满足,来取得成就。
32.In writing Paragraph 1,the author aims to　　　　.
A.propose a definition B.make a comparison
C.reach a conclusion D.present an argument
答案　D　[写作目的题。通读文章第一段可知,本段主要论述了有伟大成就的人一般都是对事物具有好奇心且不容易满足的,这两种品质相辅相成。作者在本段提出自己的观点,从而引出下文对于这一观点的具体论述,故第一段的作用为提出论点,故选D项。]
33.What does the example of Galileo tell us
A.Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.
B.Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.
C.Creativity results from challenging authority.
D.Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.
答案　D　[推理判断题。通读第二段的内容,尤其是该段最后一句“Like Galileo,all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent,‘Why Why Why ’”可知,本段主要论述了人类内心深处的驱策力比雄心更重要,像伽利略一样,历史上所有的伟人都是由于对事物感到好奇,并且不断发问,去探索,才有所成就。从伽利略的例子可知,伟大是来自对于探索持久的渴望,故选D项。]
34.What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7
A.Gaining success helps you become an expert.
B.The genius tends to get things done creatively.
C.Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.
D.You should remain modest when approaching perfection.
答案　C　[细节理解题。通读文章第六、七段的内容可知,第六段通过一位朋友由于好奇专家是如何插花的,最终自己也成为插花方面的专家并写了关于插花的书这一故事,告诉人们不要泄气。而第七段则通过举例来论述缺少天赋、没有时间等都是借口,并不是不采取行动的真正原因。由此可知,缺少天赋和没有时间并不是不采取行动的理由,故选C项。]
35.What could be the best title for the passage
A.Curious Minds Never Feel Contented
B.Reflections on Human Nature
C.The Keys to Achievement
D.Never Too Late to Learn
答案　C　[标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要通过举例来论述有伟大成就的人通常都拥有好奇和不满足的品质,并鼓励人们唤醒自己的好奇心去取得一番成就;再结合文章第一段中的“I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance:curiosity and discontent.”可知,作者认为好奇心和不满足决定了有成就的人和平庸的人的区别,并以此展开论述,提出建议并鼓励人们取得成就,故C项(取得成就的关键)最适合作本文的标题。]
第二节(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。
Many successful people would likely say they gained essential character traits(品质)as a result of a particular challenge,which ultimately aided them in their success.Their individual stories can be an inspiration for all those dealing with obstacles(阻碍).Take a look at the three strategies below that successful people have used to overcome physical,mental,and financial obstacles.
　36　
This is probably the one common characteristic of all successful people and it is an especially important trait for anyone struggling with a challenge.　37　.It is said that Edison tried thousands of ways to develop the electric light bulb(电灯泡) until he finally succeeded.“Why,I have not failed,”he once said.“I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Don’t make comparisons
　38　.However,such comparisons can be self-defeating.If you have a child who tends to compare himself negatively to his peers(同龄人),encourage him to celebrate what makes him different.Avoid evaluating skills based on comparisons with others.As Steve Jobs once said,“Your time is limited,so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”
Set goals
Try using the S.M.A.R.T.(smart,measurable,attainable,realistic,and timely)method to set achievable yet still challenging goals.　39　.Successful people have an end in sight and they work hard to get there.Actor Jim Carrey,who had to overcome dyslexia(诵读困难),wrote himself a check for $10 million for acting,dating it for ten years in the future.　40　.
A.Don’t give up
B.Find new solutions for overcoming obstacles
C.It is natural for kids and adults to compare themselves to others
D.Being compared to someone who seems more successful can be demotivating
E.Then track your progress so you can make adjustments along the way,if necessary
F.The inventor of the light bulb,Thomas Edison,is well known for his great perseverance
G.Keeping this check allowed him to visualize his goal of one day becoming a successful actor
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成功人士克服困难的三个秘诀。
36.A　[设空处是本段的小标题,概括本段大意。根据该段中所举的爱迪生失败几千次才发明出电灯泡的故事可知,本段主要告诉读者想要成功就应该不要轻言放弃,故A项符合此处的语境。]
37.F　[设空处与下文是解释说明关系。根据下文中的“It is said that Edison tried thousands of ways to develop the electric light bulb until he finally succeeded.”可知,爱迪生尝试了几千次才成功发明出了电灯泡,这体现出他不屈不挠的精神,F项“电灯泡的发明者爱迪生以坚强的毅力闻名”符合此处的语境,且F项中的“Thomas Edison”和“light bulb”与该空后的“Edison”和“light bulb”为原词复现。]
38.C　[设空处与下文是转折关系。根据该空后的“However,such comparisons can be self-defeating.”可知,该空应填入与人们常常会互相进行比较相关的内容,C项符合此处的语境,且C项中的“compare”与该空后的“comparisons”构成复现关系。]
39.E　[设空处与上一句构成顺序关系。根据该空上一句“Try using the S.M.A.R.T.(smart,measurable,attainable,realistic,and timely)method to set achievable yet still challenging goals.”可知,作者建议读者使用这种方式,设定可以达到但还有一些挑战性的目标,E项“然后记录你的进步并且在必要的时候作出调整”符合此处的语境,E项中的“progress”与上文中的“goals”形成呼应,描述了制定目标并付诸行动,不断向目标迈进的这个过程。]
40.G　[设空处与上一句为解释说明关系。根据该空上一句“Actor Jim Carrey,who had to overcome dyslexia,wrote himself a check for $10 million for acting,dating it for ten years in the future.”可知,Jim Carrey为自己填写了一张支票,这是他给自己设定的目标,G项“保留这张支票让他可以想象自己将来成为一名成功的演员的目标”符合此处的语境,G项中的“this check”指代上文中的“a check for $10 million”,且G项中的“goal”与该段第一句中的“goals”为原词复现。]
第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)

I used to be a lonely girl sitting at the back of the classroom.Having failed the college entrance exams and changed schools twice,I seldom smiled.Every day I would sit at the desk,staring into textbooks and exercises,motionless and heavy-hearted.However,my classmates were in a different picture.They were playing,laughing and chatting delightedly.Besides,I hated it when they were always answering the teachers’ questions loudly and confidently.Obviously,I had no friends in this fiercely competitive class.
Life is harder for senior students.Hardly does a day go by without exercises or tests.Every time when the scores came out mine wouldn’t be the first or second but last.I was especially tired of the endless exercises and exams,which I seemingly would never do well in.I was under a lot of pressure,feeling like a fish being fried in a pan.
Hanging over me was a dark cloud.The only dim light came from Mr.Smith.Every time I stepped into the classroom,he welcomed me with a warm smile;every time my gaze began to wander over the classroom or stare out of the window,his caring eyes would draw me back to his class.Besides,he was the only teacher who invited me to the office,talking about my studies and scores.I remembered when I came out of his office,I felt refreshed believing that I could work harder.
I was feeling everything was changing for the better.I prepared hard for the final exam of the first semester,desiring to prove that I was not the last one.So before Mr.Smith told us the test result,I was expecting something good in store for me.
But I was still the last one in the class.A burst of sadness and shame consuming me,I was heartbroken.

Right at that moment,Mr.Smith invited me to his office.Hesitantly,I walked into the office.Mr.Smith greeted me with a smile.As he began talking,not about my grades or mistakes,but about my potential and perseverance,it became apparent that this talk was totally a different one.He didn’t blame me.Instead,he praised my determination.He encouraged me to embrace my struggles,reminding me that success was never a straight path.In his eyes,I could see his belief in me,and I knew I should never quit.
Finally,the college admission letter came. I held it in my shaking hands,doubting whether I was in a world of fantasy.But as I opened the envelope,I couldn’t believe my eyes.Despite all the odds,I got admitted! I stared at the letter in disbelief for a long time.It felt like the dawn after a seemingly endless night,a reward for the perseverance I didn’t know I had until Mr.Smith showed me.Tears welling up in my eyes,Mr.Smith might never know how much his encouragement might mean to me in my toughest time.
