01（2025·天津6 月卷）阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题 (请注意问题后的字数要求) 。
In the morning, I write this to-do list:
1. Go to the bank.
2. Get a nice haircut.
3. Pick up my academic statement from college.
4. Submit my poems.
I think, “That’s enough for one day.”
Up until a few years ago, I didn’t aim to be anywhere. And in order to be nowhere, one does not need a to-do
list as a guide. Focusing only on the most pressing matter in front of me was enough. Let the next urgent moment
think for me.
My mother had tried to teach me about planning my day ever since I was 10. But I never practiced it until I
was 25 and done with college. That’s when I awoke to the fact that I didn’t want to waste any more time. I live in
Nigeria, where life and success can be difficult. There seem to be many roads to failure here.
I grew up seeing my mother firmly in charge of her day. She knew — and still knows — where she needed to
be at every moment, in every detail. She may not be good at singing, acting, or sports. But she is excellent at
planning. Every day she writes a list. I never understood why she had to write down a list that consists of items you
can easily hold in your mind. “Your to-do list is like your second mind,” she told my younger self. “If you ever feel
lost or overwhelmed, you consult your second mind.”
I didn’t understand what she meant by “a second mind” until I seemed to lose my first mind in my everyday
life. Sometimes, it seems as though it’s the rainy season in my mind, flooded with confused and distracting thoughts
that lead nowhere. I need a second mind — now!
As I sit in the barbershop awaiting my nice haircut, a friend asks me, “What’s next?”
“Pick up my academic statement from college ” I say. “Then submit my poems.”
“You’ve got it figured out like a granny,” he jokes.
“No,” I say, “like my mother.”

_____________________________________________________________________________
2. What does the underlined phrase mean?(no more than 3 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________

Studies show teaching children how to cook at an early age helps with reading comprehension and fine
motor ability, in addition to learning about nutrition and food safety. In 2015 Stephanie Drewry was looking for a
cooking summer camp for her three children. To her dismay, she quickly realized such a camp didn’t exist.
“I have my degree in education, but I had been staying home with my kids, ” Drewry says. “I love working
with kids, so I just decided to take a spare bedroom and turn it into a one-room cooking school called Sprouts
Cooking School. ”
The school grew in popularity so quickly that Drewry realized she would need more space outside her home
for the classes. In 2017 she moved Sprouts into a 1,400-square-foot storefront (临街店面) in Carmel, Indiana. As
demand grew, Drewry opened another Sprouts in the same area in 2022.
“Our classrooms are built with kids in mind. The worktops (操作台) in the classrooms are slightly lower than
normal to fit in with their height,” Drewry says. “All of the cooking facilities are domestic ones. I wanted to have
them feel like cooking in their own home.”
The school offers activities targeted at kids aged 3 to 13. Younger kids might make cookies while older ones
are cooking soup and meatballs. There are birthday parties and summer camps as well. The fun part of the activities is
that the kids can eat or take home whatever they make. They can also enjoy themselves in the themed classes like
Harry Potter or Winter Wonder-land Baking. With all these activities, the school is extremely popular.
Teaching kids, especially those picky eaters, to cook helps a lot because they’re more willing to eat something
made by themselves. More importantly, it is also about releasing children into the world with a life skill they’ll need
as an adult when they’re no longer in their parents’ care.
1. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 1? (1 word)
2. Why was Sprouts moved into a 1,400-square-foot storefront in 2017? (no more than 10 words)
3. How does the school design the classrooms in consideration of kids’ height? (no more than 10 words)
4. Why is the school so popular according to Paragraph 5? (no more than10 words)
5. Besides cooking, what other life skills would you like to develop? Please give one example and explain why. (no
more than 20 words)

Awake from a short sleep in her chair, my grandmother ran her fingers through her wavy white hair, looked
out her window at the blue sky, and asked me what I would wish for if I had just one wish.
She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” —which usually gets
her reminiscing about him. Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile.
My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my
grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency
surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak.
About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might
say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ” She seemed to recycle the same handful of answers to my
questions.
In recent years, I’ve been trying to show up for her more, in person. One day after I made us coffee, I asked
her: “What’s the secret to being successful in your 90s? ”
“Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that.
You have to try. ”
“Try what? ”
“Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little
. Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ”
Even at 93, my grandmother still knits blankets for the local hospital’s babies and buys books to continue
with her French. “Age is just another bot- her attempting to convince you of the impossible in the world, but actually
the world is filled with possibilities,” she once said.
1. What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 2 words)
2. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words)
3. Why did the author’s grandmother recycle the same answers to his questions? (no more than 10 words)
4. How can people be successful in old age according to the author’s grandmother? (no more than 10 words)
5. In your opinion, what can young people do to improve the quality of old people’s life? (no more than 20 words)

Herman Cruse, a school bus driver from New Jersey, has been with Middle Township Public Schools for the
past nine years. He believes bus drivers are the eyes and ears of students when they're away from home and they
have a gift to discern what kids are feeling.
During one morning ride, Cruse noticed a kindergartner seemed a little sad. When Cruse asked him what was
wrong, the boy explained that he wasn't able to complete his reading assignment because his parents were busy with
his four siblings (兄弟姐妹). An idea suddenly crossed Cruse's mind. “Listen, if you don't mind, I'd like to come to
the school and read with you. ”he said.
After receiving permission from the boy's teacher, Alex Bakley, Cruse showed up at her classroom the
following week. When he walked in, the boy shouted proudly, “Hey, that's my bus driver!”They went into a quiet
corner and began reading together. Later, a second student wanted to read with him, then a third. All the kids went
to the teacher asking, “Can I read with Mr. Herman?”
Cruse now volunteers to help kindergarten students with reading two days a week, and on a third day, he
instructs the school's first-and second-graders. After dropping the kids off at school, of course. Every child looks up
to Cruse, both on and off the school bus. “Herman is super positive and he's a bright light at our school who makes
every child feel loved and heard. ”said Bakley.
For Cruse, what started out as a way to kill time has now developed into a way to make a difference in the
heart of a child. He used to go to the gym or library after delivering students to schools. It wasn't until he offered to
help the boy on the bus that he realized there was something more rewarding he could be doing. It's a joy for him to
see the kids get excited when they learn to sound out words. He loves how reading opens up a new world for
them.

Growing up in San Francisco, Grace Young used to watch her father shop daily in Chinatown for whatever he
needed to make traditional Chinese meals at home. As an award-winning cookbook author, Ms. Young, now 66, has
spent decades shopping the same way in New York’s Chinatown.
Ms. Young developed a passion for cooking at an early age. At 13, she started to sit in on cooking classes.
After college, Ms. Young moved to New York and worked in a book-packaging company. In her 30s, she realized
that while she had helped create more than 40 cookbooks, she didn’t know how to make the dishes that tasted of
home. “I knew if I recorded all of my parents’ recipes, it would be a great gift that I could give my family and the
next generation.” she says.
Yet what began as a recipe book became a kind of memoir. Talking about food encouraged her parents to
finally open up about their past, like the fact that her father had owned a Chinatown restaurant in the 1940s. “It was
really an amazing way to learn not only my family’s recipes, but also my family’s story. “she says. The Wisdom of
the Chinese Kitchen (1999) launched Ms. Young’s work in preserving and sustaining Chinese culinary ( 烹饪
的)traditions.
Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms. Young
has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. This year, instead of
cooking at home for her husband and friends, she celebrated the Chinese New Year with various dishes from local
restaurants in Chinatown. “If these restaurants don’t survive, Chinese culinary traditions in our city won’t survive.”
she says.

It was a dark and stormy night. The ferocious wind shook the windows wildly, as though someone outside were
beating on the glass. It was also New Year’s Eve. We were having our annual party and had a house full of people
just starting to celebrate.
Suddenly, we heard loud explosions. Looking outside and up into the hills, we saw sparks(火花) flying from
electrical transformers(变压器). One area after another went dark up in those hills. Then there was the loudest
explosion of them all and our house went dark too. I tried to find every candle we had and lit them. The candles
made everything look lovely. But we had problems. We had fifteen people standing around and we still had to cook
dinner. How would we do that without electricity?
The barbecue! Why not cook on the barbecue? We men went outside, some holding flashlights and others
cooking. We did a wonderful job. The women stayed inside and got the salads ready. Everything was delicious.
There were still a few hours to go before the beginning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table
and sang up until a few minutes before midnight. We couldn’t watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but
that wouldn’t stop us from celebrating. I stood on a chair and, with the help of someone’s watch to tell us the time,
we all counted down and I dropped a tennis ball! We all screamed Happy New Year. We didn’t need electricity for
that!
Nowadays, we still get together with the same group to celebrate the New Year and we still talk about that
special night. I don’t think we have ever laughed so much as we did on that New Year’s Eve.

Most of us associate learning with younger people—kids in school and college or recent graduates early in
their careers. But at Udemy, an open university offering online courses, Artist Anneke Camstra is engaged in the
pursuit of lifelong learning and displays her potential for teaching. She loves the experience of gaining new
knowledge and also loves sharing it with others. “I’m retired, but an artist never retires,” Anneke said. “The last few
years on the internet have been a great joy for me. I’ve taken so many Udemy courses, and ifs such a great feeling
to get my brain working again. I find just as much satisfaction in teaching animation(动画制作)too.”
She reaches countless people with her online courses and exposes them to what they can accomplish on their
own using animation software, such as GoAnimate and PowToon. Her motivation for teaching on Udemy is “to get
the tools to the people.”“You can go such a long way to make things that look professional but still have your own
voice,” she explained.
Most of Anneke’s students start out thinking they’re not creative and can’t draw. Anneke understands how
fear can get in the way of so many things people dream of doing. With her five-day challenge courses, she helps
them get over the fear. Anneke loves the impact she has on her students. What makes her more proud of them is that
they have gone from their first animation to creating their own works.
She encourages people of all ages, especially older people, to cultivate their curiosity for life. Grandparents,
for example, can learn to use GoAnimate and make animations together with their grandkids.
“Tm an older woman, teaching and having fun learning again,” Anneke said, and she wants others later in
their lives to catch up with her on this journey.

Everyone told me not to bother applying to medical school. People “like me,” just didn’t go to university, let
alone become a doctor. I am deafblind. Until the age of 16 I was training on the GB Swimming Team to participate in
the London 2012 Paralympics, when in summer 2010 the surgery on my stomach went terribly wrong. I ended up
bedridden in hospital for a year and a half, needing to have another 20 stomach surgeries. My swimming career was
over.
However, it was during that time of being a patient that my experience strengthened my desire to become a
doctor. But getting to that point hasn’t been smooth. I had to restart education and life. I studied by myself for my
A-levels and attended a special educational needs school for blind students. Against the suggestions of others, I
applied to a medical school and unexpectedly got an offer. But just before moving in, I was informed that they had
changed their mind. I could have given up at this point. But a determination to give it one last shot led me to apply
again. This time I obtained a place at Cardiff School of Medicine, where I’ve become the first deafblind student to
be training towards becoming a doctor here in the UK.
Life certainly has its ups and downs, but I try to face all the challenges with a positive attitude and a forward
focus. I’ve suffered, and continue to suffer a lot of discrimination though. “Imagine you’re a patient. Would you
allow a disabled doctor to treat you?” some people once laughed at me. Another time, when I asked someone to
speak louder so that I could hear, he walked away and whispered to his friend, “How do you expect an invalid like
her to run the NHS (National Health Service)?” It’s discouraging, but I’m continuing to push through.
1．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3? (no more than 5 words)
2．What led to the end of the author’s swimming career? (no more than 5 words)
3．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? (no more than 10 words)
4．What does the author do in the face of discrimination? (no more than 10 words)
5．Would you allow a doctor like the author to treat you? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

I must admit I did not buy 40 books this year. At a nearby bookshop I paid for a membership card that allows
me to borrow two or three books at a time and keep them for a month.
Owning a book has its advantages, such as allowing you to make notes to your heart’s content, and you can
reread it anytime you want, but borrowing holds advantages, too. One consideration is space, and in my city where a
foot of land is worth an inch of gold, this issue speaks volumes when it comes to owning books.
You want to reread a book, but just look at how many books there are on your bookshelf that you haven’t
finished reading even once. People tend to finish books they borrow more quickly than the ones they own, mainly
because of the pressure of a deadline. Several times during the year I stayed up late to finish a book the night before
the due date. I finished about 10more books that way.
It is increasingly difficult to choose a good book because there are simply so many out there. Even if you
choose only from a narrow area of interest, singling out 40 is challenging. Book reviews and the comments readers
leave on the websites of online bookstores can be helpful in this regard.
But you cannot judge a book by its review. What I do is try to find and borrow the book from the bookshop.
Some are like fast food: you leaf through (浏览) the pages and finish them quickly. Some are strong in certain
chapters but weak in others. Some have titles that scream at you but lack substance (核心内容，实质).
I cut my losses by perusing (精读) on the spot or borrowing. Of the 40 I read from cover to cover, I bought
four I thought were worth keeping. Strangely, I had not really set out to read those four books but came across them
in the bookshop. That unpredictability was one of the exciting parts of this reading adventure.
1．What are the advantages of owning books according to the author? (no more than 15 words)
2．What does the underlined part “speaks volumes” in paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 3words)
3．How are book reviews helpful? (no more than 10 words)
4．What experience was exciting for the author in the bookshop? (no more than 10 words)
5．Should we borrow books or buy books? How do you decide? (no more than 30 words)

As a novice teacher at a kindergarten, I spent a lot of time observing the interaction between experienced
teachers and their students. Oftentimes when kids fall, they don’t start crying immediately. Usually kids will be OK
until they lock eyes with an adult: one that they trust and know can do something for them. When I noticed this, I
so wanted it to happen to me, because that meant I had earned a kid’s trust and had proven that I was able to help
them with anything.
One day it finally happened. Hearing a kid yell, “Teacher, Sam fell down. ”I rushed out and found Sam, who
was looking puzzled. When our eyes locked, his lower lips started trembling and tears welled up in his eyes. He ran
towards me and let me give him a big hug. We checked to make sure he wasn’t hurt. It was in that moment that I
realized something odd. Sam’s vulnerability and coming to me for help was supposed to give me more power. But
strangely, the power, I felt, shifted more to Sam, because he was giving me a privilege: a gift for me to do something
for someone.
With everything I learned from teaching in the kindergarten, I went to conquer other things in life. Later I
landed a job to work extensively with volunteers. I loved the relationship I was building there and the feeling of
being asked for help.
Over time, I increasingly pressured myself to stay busy and helpful. My self-worth became associated with
my performance at work, which brought about one of the lowest moments of my life. Even then, my mind was
running at a hyper speed into problem- solving mode and it didn’t even occur to me that I could ask for help. I was
surrounded by so many people who cared for me, but I just couldn’t see them. Finally, my good friend had to literally
hold me by my shoulders and force me to ask for help. With their ongoing support, I overcame one difficulty after
another.
I love helping others and I firmly believe others are willing to help me. We all want to be the best self in life:
strong, independent and self- reliant, but we don’t always have to be. Let’s start asking for help more often, because
helping Sam is a privilege and a gift.
1．Why did the author want the kids to turn to her for help? (no more than 20 words)
2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? (no more than 15 words)

My brother and I were driving home together and started talking. Because of this distraction, my brother took
a wrong turn.
Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us toward a bridge and, we had no way of turning back My brother had
to pay to cross. He was clearly disgruntled by the mistake and the needless waste of $4.
As we drove forward, my brother noticed a beat-up (破旧的) black Mustang (福特野马汽车) pulled over to
the side of the road. A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out
which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a
flat tire.
My brother helped him change the flat. We started getting to know the young man who was from a rough
neighborhood nearby. He said that this has been a bad week for him; earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident.
and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us “a breath of fresh air” and kept thanking us because he
really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along. After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled
out $20 to try to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge. We took a wrong
turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to
serve.”
What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his annoyance over
the mistake into positive energy. He was able to see a chance to help (which I totally missed!) even in an otherwise
negative situation, which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart. That was the bridge we were meant
to cross.

Everything seemed to change for me when I entered high school. In my freshman class, I never saw a single
person I knew from middle school. At home I was just as lonely. My older brother was a senior, consumed with
future decisions about college or military life. My little brother didn’t want anything to do with me, “a girl.” My
older sister was outgoing and never without her friends. They all fit in, I thought. Why can’t I?
Mom was there waiting for me. “Karole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean?” The last
thing I needed was criticism from my mother. Clean your room. Finish your dinner. Clean the dishes. What had
happened to the mother who used to snuggle with me on the couch, reading to me, loving me with complete
acceptance? I didn’t bother trying to explain my misery. It was easier to sit with my tight-lipped moodiness, holed
up in my bedroom.
I sat down at my desk and pulled out my math textbook. I turned to a fresh page in my notebook and started
working out the first problem. Almost immediately, I saw I’d made a mistake. I tore the paper out of my notebook,
balled it up in my fist and threw it at the wastepaper basket. By the time I finished my homework, the floor was
littered with crumpled (起皱的) paper. Every time I looked at those crumpled balls, I reminded myself what a
failure I was. But my unhappiness stayed hidden away, just like those mistakes.
One day, I came home to an empty house. It was a relief not to be met with Mom’s latest complaint. I went
up to my bedroom as usual. When I opened the door, I froze. It was neat as a pin. Mom had obviously decided to
clean it herself. All the crumpled papers had disappeared. Except one single sheet. I picked up the sheet and turned
it over.
I recognized Mom’s perfect handwriting at once: “Dear Karole, I have noticed your unhappiness these days
and I am sorry for being so critical of you lately. I will always love you and side with you when you need my
support I expect you to be the same, sweet self. Love, Mom.”

The phone rang and her name appeared on the screen. “They found something, a little blip (光点),” she said,
and then, trying to put me at ease, “Don’t worry. They’ll go in and remove it. It will be alright.” Eighteen months
later, the cancer that had returned first as a blip ended her life.
Amy’s disease was stunning for us all. This should not happen to a kind, well-loved and respected individual
who made so many lives around her better. In spite of pain and fear, Amy’s humor and compassion remained. In the
middle of a life interrupted, she continued to display a concern for others. She once said at her forty-sixth birthday,
“Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone with cancer could have a special day like this?”
For those of us there, in the midst of all that beauty, in all the magic of a perfect day, what was not lost was
the fact that Amy was seriously ill. I was certain that every one of us wondered whether this would be her last
birthday. And yet, in that moment, Amy was not thinking of herself, nor of us, but of others who shared with her a
diagnosis of cancer.
With her passing, Amy’s family and friends contributed thoughts and ideas to create a non-profit foundation
because we wanted to fulfill her wish that “everyone with cancer could have a special day”. We decided to call it
“Amy’s Treat”. Everything fell rather smoothly into place. Our mission is to provide solutions for the day-to-day
difficulties of living with cancer and to offer unexpected “treats” to renew the spirit.
Volunteering for Amy’s Treat has restored in me a once shaking faith in the thoughtfulness of humankind.
We wouldn’t be successful without the generous kindness of so many people who will never meet the person or
families that their checks and donations will benefit.
I witnessed many kindhearted acts, such as receiving ten quarters taped to a card from the seven-year-old son
of a woman whose car payment we had made, on which he wrote, “Thank you for lending my mom a hand.” I think
Amy would be pleased with how it all turned out.

5．What do you think about Amy? Please explain it in your own words. (no more than 20 words)

A man in black clothes jumps high into the air. Before he lands, he strikes a pose. Sometimes, he carries a red
fan. With long white sleeves(袖子), he spreads his arms like wings. His dance is eye-catching, often attracting
crowds.
He is Chinese dancer Ma Jiaolong. Since 2020, he’s made short videos of himself dancing in London. He has
performed at the city’s parks and iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge. The 35-year-old has nearly 5 million followers
on Douyin, where he shares his videos.
Classical Chinese dance combines martial arts movements with those of traditional Chinese opera. He started
to learn it at 12. “I was attracted by the dancers who play ancient heroes through the movements of classical Chinese
dance,” said Ma.
Later, Ma studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. Since 2019, he has been teaching classical Chinese dance
at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Two years ago, Ma had to give online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In his small home, he could
only make small moves. One day, he took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park, a popular tourist
spot. She recorded Ma. He then edited the video, added music and sent it to friends. “Surprisingly, they loved it,
which inspired me to share it online,” said Ma.

curious about his performances. So, while dancing, he likes to interact with them. As his videos went viral, he

Friends show off their pets on WeChat Moments, people walk dogs in the park and people watch videos of
cats online. Everywhere you look, people seem to be enjoying their pets. Indeed, they are an important part of our
modern lives, even for people who don’t own a pet.
A new report from Aug.15 sheds light on this trend. Asian Pet Show and online platform Goumin released
the 2019 Chinese Pet Industry White Paper. It shows that China’s urban pet consumer market is expected to break
through the 200 billion yuan threshold (门槛) this year, with the overall consumption scale reaching 202.4 billion
yuan. That means an increase of 18.5% over that of 2018. Young people in big cities are the main contributors.
“Most young people are suffering from great loneliness and pressure. Keeping pets will help them feel cozy
and relaxed,” wrote the report.
Many young people who leave their hometown to make a living in big cities have had pressure of living in a
new place. After working all day in a competitive environment, they have few friends and face high cost of living.
Claire Krisko from the US is one of the many young people. She told Teen Ink, a website for the teenagers
in the US, that she felt very lonely in her own city. To combat it, she bought a dog.
“After a hard day, seeing a happy face and wagging (摇动的) tail, bouncing (跳跃着跑) around the corner
and running toward me will make my day better. I was no longer lonely,” she said.
Apart from relieving loneliness, many scientific studies have shown that keeping a pet reduces stress and
may even improve overall health.
“Playing with or petting an animal can increase levels of the stress-reducing hormone (荷尔蒙) and decrease
production of the stress hormone. These hormonal changes can help nervous people feel more relaxed and happy,”
the BBC noted.
We always believe that pets have to live with humans, but it seems that many of us can’t live without our
furry companions.

Growing up in a noisy apartment above my mum’s tailor shop, I always believed my future was already
predetermined — I would simply inherit the business and spend my life sewing and fixing zippers. Although I
enjoyed helping customers, a faint sense of restlessness often tugged at (牵动；拉扯) me, as if another world were
quietly calling my name. Sometimes, while ironing fabric late at night, I would catch myself wondering what life
looked like beyond the shop windows, where students hurried by with backpacks full of books I had never read.
Everything changed during a winter volunteer program at a research center. I was assigned to assist with data
entry, which sounded dull at first. Yet one afternoon, a researcher invited me to observe her experiment on plant
resilience. As she explained how tiny genetic changes allowed certain plants to weather extreme climates — from
freezing nights or burning sunlight — I felt an excitement I had never experienced in the tailor shop. The idea that
something so small could survive forces far greater than itself filled me with awe.
A week later, the researcher showed me a microscope image: a glowing plant cell that looked almost like a
small universe. The sight was fascinating, and for the first time in my life, the future felt wide open rather than
fixed. I began to wonder whether the path I had assumed truly suited me. That night, I walked home slowly, replaying
the image in my mind, feeling both frightened and thrilled by the possibility of change.
When I finally told my mum I wanted to study biological science, she was silent for a long moment. Then
she smiled and said, “A life cannot flourish if it grows only where it was first planted. ” Her unexpected support
strengthened my resolve. She even reminded me that she herself had once left her hometown with nothing but a
sewing kit, proving that choosing a different road did not mean abandoning one’s roots.
Now preparing for my first youth science forum, I realize that a single moment of inspiration can redirect an
entire life — and that sometimes, the most important discoveries are not found in laboratories, but within ourselves.
Whenever I feel uncertain about the challenges ahead, I think of that glowing cell under the microscope, a reminder
that growth often begins in the smallest spark of curiosity.

Gloria Scott decided it was time to call an electrician in early August after she turned on a light switch in her
kitchen and suddenly a flash of light flew overhead. Obviously, the lights need repairing.
Electrician John Kinney fixed the problem and got her lights working again. But when he returned to his own
home that weekend, he couldn’t stop thinking about Scott, 72, living with her dog in her shabby house in Woburn,
Mass.
“She reminded me of my grandma, who passed away 10 years ago,” said Kinney, 37, who runs Kinney
Electric. “Her wiring was in bad shape and I really worried about her safety.”
The following Monday, Kinney returned to Scott’s home with an extra offer. While organizing things inside
her house, he noticed that she had no hot water coming out of her faucets(水龙头). He also discovered that her
kitchen sink was broken and the ceilings were full of holes...
It was then that Kinney decided to start a Facebook page called “A Nice Old Lady Needs Help” and raise
funds to do all of the repairs. To his surprise, it went viral. In less than a month, nearly $115, 000 was raised and
the campaign now has a new name: “Gloria’s Gladiators.”
“We were hoping to inspire others and that’s exactly what is happening,” said Kinney, noting that the Gloria’s
Gladiators group now has more than 15, 000 members—many of whom were inspired by Scott’s story to begin
doing free home repairs in their own neighborhoods.
Scott felt so thankful for Kinney and other volunteers’ help that she was speechless.
Kinney said he’s thankful for the opportunity to repair Scott’s home, and there is something else that has also
brought him joy.
“We’ve opened up Gloria’s world,” he said. “Now, I hope we can do the same for all of the other Glorias out
there. Nobody should have to go through life alone. ”
