Passing Happiness on
I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay,
the cashier asked her how she was doing.
The woman looked 1 , shook her head and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job. I don’t
know how I get through the days.”
My heart ached. I wanted to 2 but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries?
As I walked into the parking lot, I saw the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my
purse that 1 thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash, 3 maybe it would make her life better.
My heart pounded as I 4 the woman.
“Excuse me, I heard what you said just now. It sounds like you’re going through a really 5 time
right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.” I handed her the small card from my purse.
When the woman read the card, she began to 6 . And through her tears, she said: “You have no idea
how much this means to me.”
I was a little 7 by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind
of 8 I might receive. All I could think to say was: “Would it be OK to give you a hug?”
After we embraced, we said good-bye.
The words on the card? :
1 / 20“You Matter.”
A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as 9 for a difficult task I was doing. When
I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I ordered my own box of You Matter cards
and started 10 them.

opportunity to make right choices. To practise this, we need to establish clear 14 (edge) in our personal
and professional life.
3 / 20【答案】11.to rest 12.self-awareness 13.gives 14.edges
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在我们的生活中学会慢下来的好处。
11.考查非谓语动词。句意:花时间休息能让我们培养更深刻的自我意识。take the time to do sth.是固定搭
配,意为“花时间做某事”,所以这里用 to rest。故填 to rest。
12.考查名词。句意同上。of 是介词,后面接名词作宾语,self-aware 的名词形式是 self-awareness,意为“自
我意识”。故填 self-awareness。
13.考查动词时态。句意:当我们放慢节奏时,就为自己创造了反思思绪与情感的空间,这有助于我们明
确生活中重要的方面,并让我们有机会做出正确的选择。and 连接两个并列的谓语动词,helps 是一般现在
时的第三人称单数形式,此处为 gives。故填 gives。
14.考查名词。句意:为了践行这一点,我们需要在个人生活和职业生活中划定清晰的界限。edge 意为“界
限;边界”,是可数名词,此处表示泛指,且没有冠词限定,需填名词复数形式。故填 edges。

分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,adapt 和逻辑主语 YOLO 为被动关系,所以为过去分词形式。故
填 Adapted。
19.考查介词。句意:Le 是一名 30 多岁的无业女性,她和父母住在一起,在遇到改变她生活的拳击教练后,
她的生活发生了变化。根据句意以及空后 her 30s 可知,此处为介词 in 后接“one’s +整十的复数”即:in on’s +

I once was a quick-tempered boy. If I mumbled (嘟哝), I got angry. When I got angry, I’d yell at anyone
nearby, not caring who they were or what they were doing. Then they would make fun of me. Eventually, many
people around me disliked me because of this. They started avoiding me. Even though I felt like I needed to
improve myself, I didn’t know how.
My father was patient with me and one day he gave me a basket full of nails (钉子) and a hammer (铁锤).
Every time I got angry, he advised me to avoid scolding (责骂) the people involved and hammer a nail into the
wooden fence behind the house until I calmed down. The first day, I hammered about 50 nails into the fence. As the
days passed, I learned to control my hurtful speech in front of those who made me angry. Only when I got angry
should I go and hammer the nails immediately!
Eventually, before I could take the basket and hammer and go to the fence, my anger cooled and I started
hammering nails into the fence less. In a few days, I no longer felt the need to hammer nails into the fence. I went
to my father and told him the details. Although he was happy inside, he didn’t show it. He gave me a nail puller and
asked me to pull out the nails I had hammered into the fence one by one. It took me a whole day to pull them all out.
After pulling out all the nails, my father and I went to see the fence. My father showed me the scars where the nails
had been pulled out from the fence and said, “When you get angry, you lose your mind and say things like this nail.
7 / 20Even if you apologize for speaking as if you were pulling out a nail, the wound left by those words is just as hard to
heal as the scar from this nail.”
I too understood the concept well, changed, grew up to respect my village, and achieved many successes in
life.
24.What did the boy do when he got angry at the beginning?
A.He behaved rudely to people around.
B.He apologized to the people he had hurt.

【答案】24.A 25.A 26.C 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了一个脾气暴躁的男孩在父亲的引导下,学会控制愤怒并明白言语
伤人难以弥补的道理,最终实现自我改变的故事。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段“When I got angry, I’d yell at anyone nearby, not caring who they were or what they
were doing. (当我生气的时候,我会对附近的任何人大喊大叫,不管他们是谁,在做什么)”可知,男孩一开

hammer a nail into the wooden fence behind the house until I calmed down. (每次我生气的时候,他都建议我不
要责骂相关的人,而是在房子后面的木栅栏上钉一颗钉子,直到我平静下来)”可知,父亲给男孩钉子和锤子
是为了帮助他控制愤怒。故选 A 项。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段“In a few days, I no longer felt the need to hammer nails into the fence. I went to my
father and told him the details. Although he was happy inside, he didn’t show it. He gave me a nail puller and asked
me to pull out the nails I had hammered into the fence one by one. (几天之内,我再也不觉得有必要往栅栏上钉
钉子了。我去找父亲,把这些情况一五一十地告诉了他。尽管他心里很高兴,却没有表现出来。他给了我
一个拔钉器,让我把钉在栅栏上的钉子一个一个拔出来)”可知,当男孩不再钉钉子时,父亲让他把钉子拔掉。
故选 C 项。
27.主旨大意题。根据第三段父亲的话“When you get angry, you lose your mind and say things like this nail.
Even if you apologize for speaking as if you were pulling out a nail, the wound left by those words is just as hard to
heal as the scar from this nail. (当你生气的时候,你会失去理智,说出这样的话就像这颗钉子一样。即使你为
自己说的话道歉,就像拔出钉子一样,但那些话留下的伤口就像这颗钉子留下的疤痕一样难以愈合)”可知,
故事的主要教训是做过的事无法挽回。故选 D 项。
C
Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the “Wood Wide Web”. Far from being
isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system
of fungi (真菌).
The key players in this hidden conversation are mycorrhizal fungi. These thread-like organisms connect tree
roots, forming vast networks. Research from the University of British Columbia reveals that up to 90% of land
plants depend on these fungi. Through this interdependent relationship, trees exchange nutrients like carbon and
nitrogen. Older “mother trees” often act as hubs, sending extra sugars to younger saplings struggling in shaded
areas — a phenomenon called “forest family connections”.
When under attack, trees release chemical signals. A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates
that acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical
signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty.
Similarly, pine trees attacked by beetles send out warning signals through fungal networks, pushing neighbors to
9 / 20boost defensive resins (树脂).
Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients
from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒
素) to restrain competitors — a strategy called “biological warfare” by ecologists.
Understanding this “social network” challenges traditional views of forests. Logging dominant mother trees
can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. Scientists now advocate for selective
cutting practices that preserve fungal networks, ensuring forests’ resilience (适应力) to climate change.
As author Peter Wohlleben notes in The Hidden Life of Trees, “Forests are super-organisms with intelligence
we’re just beginning to decode.” This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest
conversations often happen without a single word.
28.What method do acacia trees use to warn nearby trees of giraffe feeding?
A.Producing defensive resins in bark. B.Transmitting electrical signals through roots.
C.Releasing a warning gas into the air. D.Increasing sugar distribution via fungal networks.
29.What does “biological warfare” refer to in paragraph 4?
A.Using chemicals to kill insects. B.Releasing poisons to contain competitors.
C.Fighting for sunlight through height. D.Stealing nutrients via underground roots.
30.Why should mother trees be preserved according to scientists?
A.They attract diverse wildlife species. B.They offer young trees nutrients.
C.They battle against climate change. D.They maintain ecosystem stability.
31.What’s the main idea of the text?
A.The defensive strategies of trees. B.The cooperative interaction between trees.
C.The important role of mother trees. D.The hidden communication among trees.
【答案】28.C 29.B 30.D 31.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了森林中被科学家称为“树木网络”的地下真菌网络系统。
28.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that acacia
trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from
the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty. (2023 年《自
然•生态与进化》上的一项研究表明,被长颈鹿啃食的金合欢树会产生乙烯气体。附近的树木会在几分钟内
从空气中接收到这些化学信号,并增加鞣酸的产生,使它们的叶子变得更苦且口感变差。)”可知,金合欢树
10 / 20是通过向空气中释放乙烯这种警告气体来提醒附近树木有长颈鹿在进食。故选 C 项。
29.词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack
the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black
walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors (并非所有的互动都是合作性的。有些植物,比如幽灵
兰花,会利用网络从附近的树木中窃取养分,却不给予任何回报。其他物种,如黑胡桃树,则会释放毒素
来抑制竞争对手)”可推理出,biological warfare 指的是释放毒素来抑制竞争对手。故选 B 项。
30.细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like
removing servers from the Internet. (砍伐占主导地位的母树可能会使整个生态系统崩溃,这就好比从互联网中
移除服务器一样。)”可知,科学家认为应该保护母树是因为它们能维持生态系统的稳定。故选 D 项。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the ‘Wood
Wide Web’. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings
through an underground system of fungi (真菌). (在安静的森林表面下,隐藏着一个繁忙的网络,科学家称之为
“森林万维网”。树木不是孤立的个体,而是通过真菌的地下系统交流、共享资源,甚至发出警告。)”和最后
一段中的“This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen
without a single word. (我们脚下的这种无声对话提醒我们,自然界最深刻的交流往往无需一言半语。)”可知,
文章开篇就提到森林中存在被称为“树木网络”的地下真菌网络,树木通过它进行无声交流、共享资源。由此
可知,这篇文章的主旨是树木之间隐藏的交流。故选 D 项。
D
We are a social animal. Indeed, it is our sociality — such as the ability to make sense of each other, to
communicate, to work cooperatively and, finally, to create culture — that marks us off from other animal species.
But then why are we everywhere striving to increase our isolation and limit our contact with others? As
musician David Byrn e argues in an essay published last month, it is a striking fact about the new technologies that
have so come to shape our lives, that they have precisely this effect: they limit our need for human contact. Online
shopping? Check. Automated checkout? Check. Ride hail apps? Check.
Efficiency is the key. We purchase efficiency by limiting the human aspect, known as “autonomous operation”.
This is perhaps even more pronounced with new technologies on the horizon. Take the MOOC, the teacher-less
virtual classroom. As Byrn e notes, this is meant to deliver the values of a learning environment without, well,
without the environment — you get to stay at home — no teacher, but also, no fellow students.
Byrne isn’t claiming we are consciously choosing to isolate ourselves. We shop online because it is convenient.
11 / 20The absence of contact with others is a side-effect. Maybe even an unavoidable one, as one of the things that makes
online shopping so easy is precisely the absence of contact with other people.
But Bryne’s thought is that whatever our intention, the tendency of our tech to isolate us may be a feature, not
a bug. His hypothesis is that we actually, at some level, crave (渴望) the increased isolation and we are actually
making technologies to satisfy impulses that, in some way, go beyond or against our social nature. But I wonder, is
this really new?
Even if we are social by nature, and do everything we can to embed ourselves socially, the need to find ways
to be alone is, well, nothing new. It’s also striking that the very activities that risk separating us — in the old days,
books, newspapers, TV; nowadays, the latest apps also connect us. We read about each other. What we read gives
us information to share with each other.
I am well aware of the data that shows the more time you spend on social media, the sadder and more isolated
and envious you feel of others. But how novel is the isolating effect of social media? Being there reminds me a lot
of what it was like to be social in high school — you have a vivid sense of your status and your standing in
relation to others, and you have to deal with that.
This may be isolating, sure. But it’s the isolating face of the social lives we’ve always had. It is isolating
because of the ways technology brings us into real contact with others, not because it removes that contact.
I wonder whether more isolation is a real option, after all.
32.Which of the following best reflects “autonomous operation”?
A.Getting a toothbrush via a hotel delivery robot.
B.Teaching mom how to establish a smart home.
C.Seeking help by calling human customer services.
D.Having an online meeting at home with colleagues.
33.Which of the following might the author agree?
A.Technology offers fresh insights into our social status.
B.Actions seemingly isolating can bond people.
C.Social platforms help bring people closer.
D.Social media has come to define our life.
34.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.What Technologies Do to Human Nature B.Do Technologies Shape Our Lives?
C.How Isolation Changes with ConnectionD.Can We Erase Human Element?
12 / 20【答案】32.A 33.B 34.D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了在线购物和社交媒体如何可能无意中导致人们感到孤独,但同时
强调这些活动也提供了与他人建立联系的机会,反映了现代社会中人们在追求便利与社交之间的平衡。
32.推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Efficiency is the key. We purchase efficiency by limiting the human aspect,
known as “autonomous operation”. This is perhaps even more pronounced with new technologies on the horizon.
Take the MOOC, the teacher-less virtual classroom. As Byrn e notes, this is meant to deliver the values of a
learning environment without, well, without the environment — you get to stay at home — no teacher, but also,
no fellow students. (效率是关键。我们通过限制人的方面来获得效率,被称为“自主操作”。随着新技术的出
现,这一点可能更加明显。以 MOOC 为例,即没有教师的虚拟课堂。正如伯恩所指出的,这意味着在没有
环境的情况下,传递学习环境的价值——你可以呆在家里——没有老师,也没有同学)”可知,通过限制人为
因素(即自主操作)来提高效率。由此推知,通过酒店送货机器人获取牙刷正好符合“自主操作”的定义,因
为这一过程中没有人为的参与,完全由机器人自主完成。故选 A。
33.推理判断题。由文章第六段中“Even if we are social by nature, and do everything we can to embed ourselves
socially, the need to find ways to be alone is, well, nothing new. It’s also striking that the very activities that risk
separating us — in the old days, books, newspapers, TV; nowadays, the latest apps — also connect us. We read
about each other. What we read gives us information to share with each other. (即使我们天生具有社交性,并尽我
们所能融入社会,寻找独处方式的需求也不是什么新鲜事。同样令人吃惊的是,那些有可能把我们分开的
活动——在过去,书籍、报纸、电视;如今,最新的应用程序也连接着我们。我们互相了解对方。我们所
读的东西给我们提供信息,让我们彼此分享)” 可推知,作者认为看似孤立的行为实际上可以让人们产生联
系。故选 B。
34.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第二段“But then why are we everywhere striving to increase our
isolation and limit our contact with others? As musician David Byrn e argues in an essay published last month, it is
a striking fact about the new technologies that have so come to shape our lives, that they have precisely this effect:
they limit our need for human contact. Online shopping? Check. Automated checkout? Check. Ride hail apps?
Check. (但是,为什么我们到处都在努力增加我们的孤立,限制我们与他人的接触呢?正如音乐家David Byrn
在上月发表的一篇文章中所指出的那样,新技术如此塑造了我们的生活,一个令人震惊的事实是,它们恰
恰具有这样的效果:它们限制了我们对人际交往的需求。)”可知,文章主语讨论了在线购物和社交媒体如何
可能无意中导致人们感到孤独,但同时强调这些活动也提供了与他人建立联系的机会,反映了现代社会中
人们在追求便利与社交之间的平衡。由此可知,D 项“Can We Erase Human Element? (我们能抹去人类元素
13 / 20吗?)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选 D。
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选
项。
Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people’s living rooms, and on the
sides of buildings. So, why is art important?
It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and
communication. 35 It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact,
participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.
36 . When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or
bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to
measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change, think creatively,
or collaborate with team members.
It provides historical context. 37 . This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art,
Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take the time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn
about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they
overcame it. 38 .
In therapy (疗法) settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that
are difficult to discuss. 39 . In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a
house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when
compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
A.It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.
B.These are its major benefits.
C.It can help people handle mental problems.
D.Art and human history go hand-in-hand.
E.Similarly, future generations will learn about current events by the art we leave behind.
F.How does it have an impact on our life?
G.Children love to draw, sing and dance.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Balancing Trees and CO
2
Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to
rethink this practice. Trees pull CO from the air. This effectively removes CO from the atmosphere. But trees only
2 2
hold onto CO as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees decay (腐 烂 ) and release that CO back into the
2 2
atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. The rise of CO , mainly
2
due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the
University of Leeds, UK. High levels of CO are increasing temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those
2
areas, he added.
The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that
fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether the growth-lifespan trade-off (生长与寿命之间的权衡) is a universal phenomenon,
Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than
79,000 sites worldwide. They found that, in almost all habitats and all sites, faster-growing tree species died
younger than slow-growing species, and even within a species, the trade-off between growth and life span held
strong.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest and tweaked (微量调整) the growth of the
trees in this model. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen
reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that
the only solution to bringing down CO levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.

40.What does “this practice” in Para.1 refer to?
16 / 2041.Why are trees around the world growing faster than ever?
42.Read the following statement, underline the false part of it and explain the reason. The team has found that the
faster trees grow, the faster they store CO , and the longer lives they live.
2
43.Please briefly present what you can do in daily life to reduce the emission of CO .(about 40 words)

【答案】
40.Planting trees to reduce climate change. /Tree planting is used to reduce climate change./Using tree planting to
reduce climate change.
41.Because of the rise of CO2 from burning fossil fuels./Because of the rise of CO2./Because burning fossil fuels
leads to the rise of CO2.
42.The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live. Because
Berienen and his team found that faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./According
to Berienen and his team’s research, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./Because
fast-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species.
43.There are many things I can do to help. Firstly, I’ll take a reusable cloth bag and say no to plastic bags while
shopping, for it can save energy and reduce pollution. Secondly, when I go somewhere, I’ll choose public
transportation instead of private cars to reduce the emission of CO2.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了针对全球气候变暖,树已经不能作为可靠的解决方法。目前最有
效的方法是节能减排,降低二氧化碳的排放。
40.词义猜测题。由第一段中的”Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate
change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. (植树曾被认为是减少气候变化的有效手段。也许是时候
让我们重新思考这种做法了。)”,可知以前可以通过植树来减少气候变化,this practice 在此处意为“植树来
减少气候变化”。故答案填 Planting trees to reduce climate change. /Tree planting is used to reduce climate
change./Using tree planting to reduce climate change.
41.细节理解题。由第二段中的“The rise of CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid
growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the University of Leeds, UK. High levels of CO2 are increasing
temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added. (主要由于燃烧化石燃料的二氧化碳的增
17 / 20加可能推动了这种快速增长,英国利兹大学的森林生态学家 Roel Brienen 说。他补充说,高水平的二氧化碳
会使温度升高,这反过来又加速了这些地区的树木生长。)”可知,是因为燃烧化石燃料产生的二氧化碳的增
加,才使世界各地的树木生长得比以往任何时候都快,故答案填 Because of the rise of CO2 from burning fossil
fuels. /Because of the rise of CO2./Because burning fossil fuels leads to the rise of CO2.
42.细节理解题。“The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they
live.(研究小组发现,树木生长越快,储存二氧化碳的速度就越快,寿命也就越长。)”由第四段中的“They found
that, in almost all habitats and all sites, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species, and
even within a species, the trade-off between growth and lifespan held strong.(他们发现,在几乎所有的栖息地和
所有的地点,生长较快的树种比生长较慢的树种死得早,甚至在一个物种内,生长和寿命之间的权衡也很
重要。)”,可知 Berienen 和他的团队发现生长较快的树种比生长较慢的树种死得早,说明生长较快的树种寿
命短,因此“the longer lives they live”(寿命也就越长)错了。故答案填 The team has found that the faster trees
grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live. Because Berienen and his team found that
faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./According to Berienen and his team’s research,
faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./Because fast-growing tree species died
younger than slow-growing species.
43.开放答题。根据文章大意及自身经历,思考在日常生活中可以做什么来减少二氧化碳的排放,比如利
用布袋购物或乘坐公共交通工具来节约能源,减少二氧化碳的排放等,故答案填 There are many things I can
do to help. Firstly, I’ll take a reusable cloth bag and say no to plastic bags while shopping, for it can save energy
and reduce pollution. Secondly, when I go somewhere, I’ll choose public transportation instead of private cars to
reduce the emission of CO2.

Dear Jim,
I’m glad to hear that you’ re interested in the photography exhibition held in our school last week.
The exhibition was organized by the school’s photography club. Students from all grades participated. They
submitted their photos showing different beautiful scenes on campus. It was held in the school hall and lasted for
three days.
There was one photo that really impressed me. In the photo, students were helping the cleaners on campus to
pick up trash. Everyone had big smiles on their faces despite the hard work. It showed the kindness and
responsibility of us students, which is what makes our campus life more meaningful.
I hope you get a better understanding of this activity.
Yours,
Li Hua
