W: I bet you don’t even eat any vegetables. Make sure to eat fruits and vegetables so you stay healthy.M: Mom, I’m perfectly healthy.
W: Well, I don’t know. But besides that, is everything all right? How are you with money?
M: Actually, money is tight. I use all my money on textbooks and don’t have any left. After car insurance, I have
nothing left for rent.
W: Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll transfer money to your account when I get home.
M: Thanks, Mom. But I can settle the problem. I’ve got a part-time job.
W: It’s no problem, as long as you promise to do less of your teaching job and focus on your education. Money should
not be on your mind right now. You’ll only have to think about it when you’re older. You need good grades this year if
you want to continue medical school.
M: That is my dream. I will study harder.
W: One second, someone’s calling me. I’ll take this call, and then we can go for lunch. Are you busy?
M: No, but I have to be back on campus by 2:00 p.m.

Some books to look forward to in 2024
The first few months of 2024 are piled with exciting and interesting reads . If you’re looking to get a jump
ahead on the holds from your local library, here are just a few books we ‘re looking forward to.
James by Percival Everett
Celebrated author Percival Everett gives us Huckleberry Finn from Jim’s point of view. It’s far from a
straight re-telling, though. Instead, Everett (but off his 2001 book Erasure being adapted into the film American
Fiction) uses the beats of the original story to give us a send up of language and race.(Pub. March.19)
The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo
This standalone fantasy was inspired by the best-selling author’s own family history. It takes place during the
Spanish Golden Age and follows a servant, hiding the fact that she can perform miracles. (Pub. Apr.9)
Private Equity by Carrie Sun
A memoir (回忆录) about the daughter of Chinese immigrants who ended up becoming an assistant to a
billionaire hedge fund founder. It’s an examination of the hustle and tiring lifestyle that spreads American work
culture, and the costs of extreme wealth. (Pub. Feh.13)
Legacy by Uché Blackstock
Uché Blackstock has had a long career in medicine as a doctor and as a professor of emergency medicine. Her
account follows her growing up wanting nothing more than to be doctor, and discovering all parts of the systemic
issues that lend to poorer health outcomes for Black Americans. (Pub, Jan.23)
21. What do we know about Percival Everett?
A. He is famous for film making. B. He wrote James under the name of Jim.
C. His works are focused on historical fiction. D. His literary works have significant influence.
22. What is the common characteristic of the last two books?
A. They concern Black Americans. B. They are about real account of life.
C. They reflect American work culture. D. They focus on unfair phenomenon in society.
23. Which book draws from the writer’s family background?A. James. B. The Familiar. C. Private Equity. D. Legacy.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2024年值得期待的几本书籍，并给出了每本书的简要描述和
出版日期。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据“James by Percival Everett”部分中的“Celebrated author Percival Everett gives us
Huckleberry Finn from Jim’s point of view. It’s far from a straight re -telling, though. Instead, Everett (but off his
2001 book Erasure being adapted into the film American Fiction) uses the beats of the original story to give us a
send up of language and race. (著名作家Percival Everett从Jim的角度给我们带来了《哈克贝利·费恩历险
记》。然而，这远不是一个直接的重新讲述。相反，Everett (2001年出版的《擦除》被改编成电影《美国
小说》)利用原著故事的节奏给我们一种语言和种族的警示。)”可推测，Everett的作品具有显著的影响力。
故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Private Equity by Carrie Sun”部分中的“A memoir (回忆录) about the daughter of
Chinese immigrants who ended up becoming an assistant to a billionaire hedge fund founder.(一本回忆录，讲述
了中国移民的女儿最终成为亿万富翁对冲基金创始人的助理。)”以及“Legacy by Uché Blackstock”部分
中的“Her account follows her growing up wanting nothing more than to be doctor, and discovering all parts of the
systemic issues that lend to poorer health outcomes for Black Americans.(她的故事讲述了她的成长过程，她只
想成为一名医生，并发现了导致美国黑人健康状况不佳的系统性问题的各个方面。)”可知，最后两本书
《Private Equity by Carrie Sun》和《Legacy by Uché Blackstock》都是关于作者的真实生活经历的。前者是
一本回忆录，讲述了华裔移民的女儿成为亿万富翁对冲基金创始人助理的故事；后者则是一位在医学领域
有长期职业生涯的医生的自传，讲述了她从小就想成为医生的经历。因此，它们的共同特点是都是关于真
实生活经历的叙述。故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo”部分中的“This standalone fantasy was inspired by the
best-selling author’s own family history. It takes place during the Spanish Golden Age and follows a servant, hiding
the fact that she can perform miracles.(这本独立的奇幻小说的灵感来自于这位畅销书作者自己的家族史。故事
发生在西班牙黄金时代，主人公跟随一个仆人，隐藏了她能创造奇迹的事实。)”可知，《The Familiar》这
本书是基于作者自己家族背景创作的。故选B。
BLike so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first and second-generation Chinese
immigrants (移民), sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung reached a point in their adult lives when they started to long for
the Chinese food they’d grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it. There was such a
“representation gap”, as Sarah puts it, in terms of what kinds of cuisines were noticeably featured in those early
days of TV celebrity chefs and the emerging food blogosphere (博客圈).
As it turns out, though, the Leungs were uniquely positioned to do something about it. Bill, the father, had
spent years cooking beef at his family’s Chinese American takeout restaurant. Judy, the mom, was born and raised
in Shanghai and had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile, the two sisters had
grown up in the New Jersey suburbs, eating their parents’ food, but also growing in America’s own food-obsessed
culture.
So, in 2013, the Leungs started The Woks of Life. What distinguished their blog from others was that the
intergenerational heritage (传承) of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept
—The four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites, tapping into their own
areas of expert knowledge.
Kaitlin is proud that The Woks of Life follows along line of pioneers-folks like Joyce Chen, Martin Yan and
Ming Tsai, who first started to bring Chinese home cooking into the mainstream in the US. “We feel proud that we
have made a meaningful mark over the past decade, casting light that there’s a huge demand for these recipes,” she
says .“It’s about representation, yes, but there’s also a huge demand. Asian Americans look to reconnect with the
food of their heritage.”
Five years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to find a ton of Chinese recipes in the New York Times food
section, Kaitlin notes. Now you can.
24. What do the underlined words “representation gap” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The shortage of Chinese chefs.
B. The lack of Chinese food recipes.
C. The gap between young and old ABCs.
.
D The difference between chefs and bloggers.
25. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To prove how unique the Leung sisters are.
B. To show why the Leung sisters prefer Chinese food.
C. To point out the Leungs’ advantage to start a food blog.
D. To stress the Leung sisters’ love for home cooking food.
26. What makes The woks of Life special?A. The concept of baking food.
B. The large number of followers.
C. The bloggers, way of posting recipes.
D. The intergenerational heritage of knowledge.
27. What is the significance of The woks of Life?
A. It strengthens bonds between individuals.
.
B It marks the popularity of Chinese cuisine.
C. It has developed many new Chinese recipes.
D. It links Asian Americans with their food tradition.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了年轻一代的美国华裔在做中国菜时遇到的困难以及The Woks
of Life博客的诞生。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Like so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first and second-
generation Chinese immigrants (移民), sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung reached a point in their adult lives when
they started to long for the Chinese food they’d grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it.
There was such a “representation gap”, as Sarah puts it, in terms of what kinds of cuisines were noticeably featured
in those early days of TV celebrity chefs and the emerging food blogosphere (博客圈).(像许多其他在美国出生的
华人（ABCs）和年轻一代的第一代和第二代中国移民一样，Sarah和Kaitlin Leung这两位姐妹在成年后也
渴望吃到自己从小长大的中国菜，但发现很难学会如何准备。正如Sarah所说的那样，在电视名厨和新兴
博客圈早期的那些日子里，哪些菜肴明显受到关注，存在“代表性差距”)”可知，Sarah和Kaitlin是美籍
华人，当她们想吃小时候的中式饭菜时，却不知道如何做。由此可推知，Sarah所说的早期电视名厨和新
兴的美食博客圈中的“代表性差距”就是没有中餐食谱的分享。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As it turns out, though, the Leungs were uniquely positioned to do something about
it.(然而，事实证明，梁家姐妹有独特的条件来解决这个问题)”以及本段下文的叙述可推知，本段介绍了
为什么Leungs一家人有条件创建博客来改变当时人们没有途径学习烹饪中餐的情况。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“What distinguished their blog from others was that the intergenerational heritage (传
承) of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept—The four family members
took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites, tapping into their own areas of expert knowledge.(他们的博客与其他博客的区别在于，梁家姐妹渴望的跨代知识传承被直接融入了这个概念——四位家庭成员轮
流发布食谱，分享各自的最爱，挖掘各自的专业知识领域)”可知，他们的博客与其他博客的不同之处在于，
梁氏夫妇如此渴望的知识代际传承被融入了这个观念。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Asian Americans look to reconnect with the food of their heritage.(亚洲裔美国
人希望重新与他们的传统食物建立联系)”可知，这个博客让亚裔美国人和他们的饮食传统建立起联系。故
选D项。
C
Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many
wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more
commonly, animal self-medication.
Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian
Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies,
tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they
were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree
was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.
Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by
tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten
species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been
observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to
specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting
back parasites (寄生虫).
While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-
medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of
the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by
improving their health.
This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could
potentially affect the survival of some animals.
28. Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree?
A. They are trying to cure diseases. B. They would like to digest what they eat.
C. They feel like occupying the land. D. They are attracting companions’ attention.
29. What do researchers find through camera-traps?A. Many animals copy monkeys’ behaviors. B. Animals can help each other clean the fur.
C. The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys. D. Resin can be used as medicine for some animals
30. What does the underlined word “magnitude” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Populations. B. Characteristics. C. Similarities. D. Flexibilities.
31. What is the possible significance of the discovery?
A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Increasing the production of resin.
C. Contributing to forest conservation. D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ diet.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员发现动物会使用一种特殊的树树脂作为药物来疗伤。
文章解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their
bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common
behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well
known for its medical properties.(在其中一项日常研究中，研究人员观察到绢毛猴在树干上摩擦身体。起初，
研究人员认为它们是在标记自己的领地，这是这种物种的常见行为。植物学专家后来证实，这棵树是一种
以其药用特性而闻名的红檀香)”可知，绢毛猴要在树上摩擦自己是为了努力治疗疾病。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to
record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest
visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-
medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general,
the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing
their wounds or fighting back parasites ( 寄生虫 ).(研究人员决定在树脚的不同位置放置相机陷阱，以记
录未来绢毛猴的访问。令人惊讶的是，记录显示许多生活在森林里的动物来过这里。共观察到10种。对他
们中的许多人来说，这是第一次观察到类似于自我药物治疗的行为。更令人惊讶的是，一个物种会成对地
在对方的皮毛上涂抹树脂。一般来说，这些物种似乎专门访问树来获取树脂，并从中受益，要么治愈伤口，
要么击退寄生虫。)”可知，研究人员通过相机陷阱发现树脂可以用作一些动物的药。故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their”以及后
文“by improving their health”可知，红檀香是一种宝贵的资源，所以通过改善它们的健康状况可以有助于保持红檀香树木的数量。故划线词意思是“数量”。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance
of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.(这一发现可能会对保护产生重要影响，因为
一些树木的消失可能会影响一些动物的生存)”可知，这一发现的可能意义是有助于森林保护。故选C。
D
Summer tomatoes are so filled with promise: the red color; the grassy tomato-leaf smell; the expectation of a
mouthful of sweet-salty tomato dishes. But supermarket tomato after supermarket tomato does little more than
disappointment. How can a fruit with so much potential constantly taste slightly juicy at best and a globe of cardboard
at worst?
We know that modern tomatoes sold at the supermarket are picked green and grown for pest resistance, shipping,
and shelf life-and that the agriculture industry creates produce designed for profit, not flavor. Are these the factors to
blame for the tomato’s poor taste?
But even when allowed to ripen (成熟) before they are harvested and shipped with great care, modern tomatoes
are still tasteless. When researchers looked into this tomato matter, they uncovered a fascinating genetic cause for the
fruit’s dullness. What to blame is a gene mutation (基因突变) discovered accidentally around 70 years ago, onto
which tomato growers quickly relied. In fact, now the mutation has been deliberately grown into nearly all modern
tomatoes.
Why? It makes them a uniform and attractively red when ripe. Unfortunately for tomato lovers far and wide, the
red-making mutation stops the activeness of an important gene responsible for producing the sugar and smell that are
essential for a good smelling and flavorful tomato, as reported in the paper, which was published in the journal
Science. When the researchers “turned on” the gene that had stopped working, the fruit had 20% more sugar and 20
— 30% more carotenoids (胡萝卜素) when ripe. Yet the fruit’s non-uniform greenish color suggest that mainstream
growers will not be following suit anytime soon.
However, for anyone with a nearby farmer’s market, a supermarket that offers traditional produce, or a garden
in the back, there is another choice instead of cardboard-flavored tomatoes. Traditional tomatoes and wild species
have not had the essence of tomatoes sucked out of them by selective growing-so shop for those or grow them
yourself. They may not look like the Disney version of a perfect fruit, but they actually taste like tomatoes.
32. Why is a question raised at the end of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To draw a conclusion from comparison.
C. To encourage readers to take action.D. To express disappointment at supermarket tomatoes.
.
33 Why are modern tomatoes tasteless?
A. They have ripened when picked.
B. They are affected by gene mutation.
C. They are kept on the shelf for too long.
D. They are treated with chemicals for shipping.
34. What’s a disadvantage of the tomatoes the researchers grew according to paragraph 4?
A. Taste. B. Color. C. Size. D. Production.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional tomatoes?
A. Critical. B. Unconcerned. C. Curious. D. Favorable.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了现代西红柿虽然看起来好看但吃起来却乏味的原因，即：基因突变。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Summer tomatoes are so filled with promise: the red color; the grassy tomato-leaf
smell; the expectation of a mouthful of sweet-salty tomato dishes. But supermarket tomato after supermarket tomato
does little more than disappointment. How can a fruit with so much potential constantly taste slightly juicy at best
and a globe of cardboard at worst?”（夏天的西红柿充满了希望：红色；番茄叶的青草味；期待一口甜咸的
番茄菜。但是一个接一个的超市里的番茄带给我们的只是失望。一种潜力如此巨大的水果怎么能一直吃起
来最好的是一点点多汁，最坏的是一个纸板球呢？）可知，第一段的最后提出的问题是为什么西红柿最好
的情况是有一点点汁，最坏的情况是像纸板圆球一样索然无味，这个问题是文章谈论的主题，下文围绕这
个问题展开。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“What to blame is a gene mutation (基因突变) discovered accidentally around 70
years ago, onto which tomato growers quickly relied.”（罪魁祸首是大约70年前偶然发现的一种基因突变，
番茄种植者很快就依赖于这种突变。）可知，现代番茄无味是因为它们受到基因突变的影响。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Yet the fruit’s non-uniform greenish color suggest that mainstream growers will
not be following suit anytime soon.”（然而，这种水果不均匀的绿色表明，主流种植者短期内不会效仿。）
可知，根据第4段，研究人员种植的西红柿的缺点是颜色不均匀。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Traditional tomatoes and wild species have not had the essence of tomatoessucked out of them by selective growing-so shop for those or grow them yourself. They may not look like the
Disney version of a perfect fruit, but they actually taste like tomatoes.”（传统的西红柿和野生的西红柿并没有
被选择性的种植吸收掉西红柿的精华，所以去商店购买或者自己种植。它们可能看起来不像迪士尼版的完
美水果，但它们实际上尝起来像西红柿。）可知，在文章最后一段中作者鼓励人们购买传统西红柿，说它
们虽然看起来没有迪士尼电影里的西红柿那么好看，但它们的口感是真正西红柿的口感，由此可见作者是
喜欢传统西红柿的。故选D项。

is even invited to appear on television and act in movies.
A. But then he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes.
B. Because all his friends all loved him.

【答案】36. C 37. F 38. A 39. D 40. E【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了面对他人的嘲笑与不解，Brian始终坚持自己的喜剧梦想的
故事。
【36题详解】
根据空后“All his friends love his jokes, and even the teachers think he is very funny.(他的朋友都喜欢他的玩笑，
甚至老师也认为他很有趣) ”可知，空后提到朋友喜欢他的玩笑，老师也觉得他有趣，故C项“他最喜欢
的事情就是让人开怀大笑。”符合语境，本空说明他喜欢让人开怀大笑，故空后进一步说明因此朋友都喜
欢他，老师也觉得他有趣，故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据空前“But when some of the students find out he will participate, they laugh at him.(但是当一些学生知道他
要参加时，他们都嘲笑他) ”和空后“Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him.(Brian不
理解为什么他们对他如此不友好)”可知，空前提到学生嘲笑他参加秀，空后说Brian不理解他们的行为，
故F项“Brian认为，当有人用一种刻薄的方式嘲笑你时，这很让人不舒服！”符合语境，当他们知道他要
参加比赛时，都嘲笑他，而Brian认为这很让人不舒服，并且不理解为什么这些人要这么对他，故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据空前“For a moment, he thinks about telling the talent show organizers he will not participate.(有一段时间，
他想要告诉天才秀的组织者，他想要退赛)”和空后“He does not know why these other students are being so
negative, but he decides to go ahead and prepare his comedy routine for the talent show.(他不理解为什么其他的
这些同学会这么消极，但是他决定继续准备天才秀比赛的戏剧表演)”可知，空前指Brian想要退出比赛，
空后则提出不理解其他同学的行为，但仍然决定继续比赛，故A项“但之后，他想起来朋友和老师很喜欢
他讲的笑话。”符合语境，和空前构成转折关系，且A项中的“friends and teachers”与空后的other
students相对应，自己的朋友和老师很友好，为什么别的学生这么不友好，故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据空前“Everyone loves his routine, and he wins the first prize!(每个人都喜欢他的表演，他赢了第一
名！)”和空后“Brian just shakes his head and wonders what their problem is.(Brian只是摇摇头，想知道问题
到底在哪里)”可知，空前提到他比赛得了一等奖，空后则说明他不知道问题在哪里，故D项“即使如此，
这些学生也告诉Brian，说他很笨，绝不会成为一个成功的喜剧演员。”符合语境，承上启下，D项中的
“so”知道空前的“he wins the first prize”，空后的their指代D项中的“the same students”，故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据空后“Luckily, they are the minority, and as he works hard to become a comedian, most of the people he
meets encourage him and help him to become even funnier.(幸运的是，他们是少数。而且当他努力成为一名喜剧演员时，他遇到的大多数人都鼓励他，帮助他变得更有趣)”可知，空后是E项“随着岁月的流逝，
Brian遇到了很多那样的人。”的顺义承接，空后的they指代E项中的“more people like that”，尽管他遇
到了很多那样的人，但他们缺少少数，大多数人还是鼓励他，故选E项。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In Whitney High School, Cerritos, California, which was known for its academic excellence and competitive
atmosphere, there were two friends, Sam and Emily, who were preparing for their final exams. Sam and Emily werebest friends and had always studied together. Sam was naturally gifted in mathematics, while Emily excelled in
history. As their final exams approached, they promised to help each other with their weaker subjects.
They spent weeks preparing, exchanging notes, and quizzing each other. Sam helped Emily understand complex
mathematics problems, and Emily helped Sam remember historical dates and events. Their friendship grew stronger as
they worked towards their common goal.
However, as the exam day neared, Sam started to feel huge pressure. His parents had high expectations, and he
was afraid of letting them down. He began to doubt his abilities, especially in history, which was his weakest subject.
Emily noticed Sam’s anxiety and tried to reassure him, but Sam’s stress only seemed to increase. The night before
the history exam, Sam admitted to Emily that he was considering cheating because he was so afraid of failing.
Emily was shocked and disappointed. She reminded Sam of all the hard work they had put in and the serious
consequences cheating could have. She told him that it was better to try and fail honestly than to succeed through
dishonesty.
On the day of the history exam, Sam was extremely nervous. He remembered Emily’s words and knew she was
right. He decided to face the exam honestly, using what he had learned from their study sessions.
During the exam, Sam struggled with some of the questions, but he did his best to answer them without turning to
cheating. When the exam ended, he felt a mix of relief and uncertainty. He had stuck to his values, but he wasn’t sure
if he had done enough to pass the subject.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】One possible version:
A few weeks later, the exam results were announced. Sam passed his history exam with an acceptable grade! He
was overjoyed and relieved. He realized that he might have got a higher score if he had cheated, but the score was
his honest effort, and that made it more valuable. Emily was proud of Sam for making the right choice. She told him
that honesty was much more important than any grade.
The experience of preparing for and taking the exams strengthened the bond between Sam and Emily. They
learned that facing challenges together, with honesty and support for each other, was more important than the outcome
of any test. From then on, Sam approached challenges with more confidence and integrity, and Emily continued to
be a supportive friend. Together, they realized that the true test was not in the exams they took but in the choices they
made and the kind of people they chose to be.
