What Does a Lonely Brain Look Like?
Everyone feels lonely from time to time-after, say, a move to a new school or city,when a child
leaves for college, or following the loss of a spouse.
Some people, though, experience loneliness not just transiently but chronically. It becomes "a
personality trait, something that's pretty sticky," said Dr. Ellen Lee, an associate professor of psychiatry at
the University of California, San Diego.
Research is mounting that this type of entrenched loneliness is bad for our health and can even
change our brains,raising the risk for neurodegenerative diseases.
How could a subjective feeling have such a profound effect on the brain's structure and functions?
Scientists aren't sure, but they think that when loneliness triggers the stress response, it also activates the
immune system, increasing levels of some inflammatory chemicals. When they're experienced for long
periods of time, stress and inflammation can be detrimental for brain health, damaging neurons and the
connections between them.
One of the most common recommendations is a little obvious: Try to make new friends. Whether
that's through art classes, sports teams or volunteer opportunities, the goal is to put yourself in places
where people come together.
These types of engineered social situations have mixed results. Dr. Lee said they tend to work best
if there is a "shared identity" among the people involved, like groups specifically for people with
diabetes, so they have something to connect over.

孤独之人的大脑是什么样的？
每个人都会时不时地感到孤独，比方说，在搬到新学校或者新城市之后，在孩子上大学之后，又或是
失去配偶之后。
然而，有些人感受到的孤独并非转瞬即逝，而是长期持续.艾伦·李博士（Dr.Ellen Lee）是加利福尼亚
大学圣迭戈分校精神病学副教授，他说道，这成为了“一种性格特征，一种相当顽固的东西”.
越来越多的研究表明，这种根深蒂固的孤独感不利于我们的健康，甚至会改变我们的大脑，增加罹患
神经退行性疾病的风险。
一种主观感受怎么会对大脑的结构和功能产生如此深远的影响？科学家们并不确定，但他们认为，当
孤独引发应激反应时，它也会激活免疫系统，增加一些炎症化学物质的水平。如果长期处于这种状态，压
力和炎症就会损害大脑健康，破坏神经元及它们之间的连接。
很明显，一种最常见的建议就是去尝试结交新朋友.无论是参加艺术课程、运动小组还是志愿活动，目的都是把自己置身于人们聚集的地方。
这类精心设计好的社交场合往往效果好坏参半.李博士说，如果参与者之间能有一个“共同的身份”，
比如有那种专门为糖尿病患者设立的团体，参与者之间会更容易建立链接，这一类社交情境往往会发挥出
最好的功效。

（2024·江西·一模）One of China’s first female sea-rescue pilots looks back in pride at 300-plus missions
and promises to save more lives. When the perfect storm brews(酝酿) over the boundless sea and lives are in
danger, a crew of highly trained professionals embarks on a mission impossible to search for and rescue survivors
from the rough waters. Wan Qiuwen is one of them. And, she’s a woman.
The 36-year-old from Shanghai has broken the glass ceiling to become one of China’s first two female
rescue helicopter pilots who respond to search and rescue missions involving cargo ship snags(货船遇险), vessel
accidents, medical emergencies and special marine operations. The demanding nature of the profession had always
favored male candidates until the rules were changed for the first and only time. She says, “Rescue at sea can be
both challenging and terrifying. If you don’t think and act fast, people may die.”
On Aug 20,2020, an oil tanker ferrying 3,000 metric tons of gasoline collided with a cargo ship loaded with
sand and gravel about 1.5 nautical miles (2,778 meters) southeast of the Yangtze River estuary, sparking a fire on
the deck of the oil tanker and causing the latter to sink. Wan was among the first respondents. She flew to the site
from Gaodong helicopter airport, which is the country’s first-of-its-kind marine rescue launchpad(发射台). “The
tanker was still burning and there was a thick envelope of smoke, reducing visibility to near zero.” she recalls. And
yet, with her sea wisdom, Wan spotted a survivor and executed a successful rescue operation. She hovered above
the troubled waters for a couple of minutes to estimate the best extraction point, and then threw down a rope and
pulled up a seriously injured crew member.
Now, a mother of a boy, when people ask her if she will continue to fly once her child grows up, Wan’sresponse is affirmative. “This profession is about saving lives and I am a rescue pilot, once and always.”
4．What do the underlined words “broken the glass ceiling” probably mean?
A．Winning wide praise. B．Making a personal breakthrough.
C．Disobeying rules of her career. D．Breaking barriers preventing women’s advancement.
5．Which of the following best describe Wan Qiuwen?
A．Courageous and Creative. B．Professional and Determined.
C．Conservative and Hardworking. D．Responsible and Self-disciplined.
6．What can be learned from the accident happening on August 20, 2020?
A．It is visible for Wan to see clearly the site from the sky.
B．Both the oil tanker and the cargo ship sank after collision.
C．During the rescue, Wan threw down a rope without hesitation.
D．Before taking rescue action Wan made a judgement on the situation.
7．What is the purpose of the passage ?
A．To call on more people to be a sea-rescue pilot.
B．To inform the risks of becoming a sea-rescue pilot.
C．To introduce an exceptional woman sea-rescue pilot.
D．To educate people the meaning of breaking through gender prejudice.

（2024·辽宁大连·二模）Most people suffer from “just-me-ism”. What is that? Well, say you leave the tap
running while brushing your teeth, or you drop a piece of litter and can ’t be bothered to pick it up. You know all
those things are wrong, but so what? “What difference can it possibly make?” you say to yourself. “There are
millions of people in the world and I’m just me.” But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves,
“It doesn’t matter, it’s just me.” Millions of gallons of water would be wasted; millions of pieces of litter would be
dropped. And all of this would be very harmful.
To inspire young people to take action for the environment, animals and their community, Roots &
Shoots was established in the early 1990s by Dr. Jane Goodall, a world’s well-known environmental scientist.
Besides her research, she has been whole-heartedly committed to environmental protection.
The organisation is called Roots & Shoots because roots move slowly under the ground to make a firm
foundation, and shoots seem small and weak, but they can break open brick walls to reach the light. The roots and
shoots are you, your friends and young people all around the world. Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots
can solve the problems, change the world and make it a better place to live in.
Do you think you help to make the world a better place when you make a sad person smile, when you make
a dog wag its tail, and when you water a thirsty plant? One cheered-up person, one happy dog, one flowering plant,
and you. That’s what Roots & Shoots is all about. Dr.Jane Goodall believes that the most important thing is
that every individual matters. You get to choose: Do you want to make the world a better place? Do you want to
make Roots & Shoots rooted in everyone’s heart? Do you want to be part of a community for a shared future?

（2024·山西运城·二模）The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) is a significant part of the digital
transformation bringing challenges and changes to the job descriptions among management. A study shows that
integrating AI systems into service teams increases demands on middle management in the financial services field.
Interviewed in the study were 25 experienced managers employed by a leading Scandinavian financial
services company. AI systems have been intensely integrated into the tasks and processes of the company in recent
years.
The results showed that the integration of AI systems into service teams is a complex phenomenon, putting
new demands on the work of middle management and requiring a balanced act in the face of new challenges.
“The productivity of work grows when routine tasks are passed on to AI. On the other hand, the fast pace of
change makes work more demanding, and the integration of AI makes it necessary to learn new things constantly.
Surprisingly, new kinds of routine work also increase, because the operations of AI need to be monitored and
checked,” says Assistant Professor Jonna Koponen.
According to the results of the research, the social features of middle management also changed, because the
AI systems used at work were seen either as technical tools or colleagues, depending on the type of AI that was
used. Especially when more developed types of AI, such as chatting robots, were included in the AI systems, they
were seen as colleagues.
Integrating AI also poses ethical (道德上的) challenges, and managers devoted more of their time to ethical
considerations. For example, they were concerned about the fairness of decisions made by AI. Aspects observed in
the study showed that managing service teams with integrated AI requires new skills and knowledge of middle
management, such as technological understanding and skills, interactive skills and emotional intelligence, problem-
solving skills, and the ability to manage and adapt to continuous change.
“AI systems cannot yet take over all human management in areas such as the motivation and inspiration of
team members. This is why skills in interaction and empathy (同理心) should be emphasized when selecting new
employees for managerial positions which emphasize the management of teams integrated with AI,” Koponen says.
12．What does the study find?
A．AI becomes less popular in the service field. B．AI makes decisions more fairly than humans.
C．AI proves human management is unnecessary. D．AI makes middle management more demanding.
13．What’s Jonna Koponen’s attitude to integrating AI systems into service teams?
A．Unmentioned. B．Opposed. C．Objective. D．Indifferent.14．Which of the following shows Jonna Koponen’s opinion?
A．AI can’t replace human mangers completely. B．Few managers in the service field are needed.
C．Employees for managerial positions dislike AI. D．AI devotes more time to ethical considerations.
15．What is the main idea of the text?
A．The integration of AI into service teams is hard.
B．AI takes over human management in many fields.
C．AI and human managers are a perfect combination.
D．The application of AI influences middle management.

（2024·四川成都·模拟预测）Tips for Positive Thinking When Depressed
If you’re wondering how to become more positive when depressed, you may need some actionable tips to get
started. 16
Keep a positive journal. Positive thoughts can be few and far between when you have depression. 17
Even if it’s something as small as seeing a beautiful flower or receiving a supportive text from a friend, keep a
record of your better moments.
18 Next time you feel hopeless in the face of difficulties, imagine the most positive outcome. For
example, you might dislike having depression, but imagine that one day you could use your story to help others —
to start a support group or write a book.
Ask yourself if your negative beliefs are really true. Next time you observe a negative thought entering your
mind, ask yourself: “Is there basis for this thought?” For example, has anyone ever told you that you were a terrible
friend apart from yourself? 19 What about all the times you’ve been supportive or helpful to the people in
your life? Hold your negative thoughts up for inspection and you’ll soon see which are worth your attention.20 During depression, however, it often feels easier to hide under your covers and let the negative
thoughts takeover than try to change your patterns. Try to challenge yourself during your stronger moments to try to
find something to feel positive about.
A．How might that feel?
B．Here are some ideas.
C．Adjust mood to get a positive result.
D．Building healthy habits can be hard at the best of times.
E．If so, is that person’s opinion the only one you truly value?
F．Take a challenging situation and imagine the most positive outcome.
G．So each time a happy or hopeful thought comes into your head, write it down.
【答案速查】16．B 17．G 18．F 19．E 20．D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了抑郁时积极思考的一些建议。
16．前文“If you’re wondering how to become more positive when depressed, you may need some
actionable tips to get started. (如果你想知道如何在抑郁时变得更积极，你可能需要一些可行的建议来开始)”
提到在抑郁时变得更积极需要可行的建议，后文段落具体介绍了这些建议，空处应该指出有这样一些建议，
因此B项“Here are some ideas. (这里有一些想法)”符合语境，承上启下。故选B。
17．段首句“Keep a positive journal. (坚持写积极向上的日记)”建议记录积极向上的想法，前文
“Positive thoughts can be few and far between when you have depression. (当你抑郁时，积极的想法可能很
少)”提到抑郁时积极的想法会很少，后文“Even if it’s something as small as seeing a beautiful flower or
receiving a supportive text from a friend, keep a record of your better moments. (即使是看到一朵美丽的花或收
到朋友的支持短信这样的小事，也要记录下你的美好时刻)”具体指出很美好的小事也值得记录，空处应该
是建议及时记录下那些积极的想法，因此G项“So each time a happy or hopeful thought comes into your
head, write it down. (所以每当一个快乐或充满希望的想法进入你的脑海时，把它写下来)”符合语境，呼应段
首句，承上启下。故选G。
18．根据后文“Next time you feel hopeless in the face of difficulties, imagine the most positive outcome.
For example, you might dislike having depression, but imagine that one day you could use your story to help others
—to start a support group or write a book. (下次当你在困难面前感到绝望时，想象一下最积极的结果。例如，
你可能不喜欢抑郁，但想象有一天你可以用你的故事来帮助别人——成立一个支持小组或写一本书)”可知，
本段主要建议想象一下最积极的结果，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，应该与此相关，且需和其他段首句
一样使用祈使句的形式。因此F项“Take a challenging situation and imagine the most positive outcome. (面对
一个具有挑战性的情况，想象最积极的结果)”符合语境，可统领段落内容。故选F。
19．前文“Next time you observe a negative thought entering your mind, ask yourself: “Is there basis for
this thought?” For example, has anyone ever told you that you were a terrible friend apart from yourself? (下次当
你看到一个消极的想法进入你的脑海时，问问自己：“这个想法有根据吗”例如，除了你自己，有没有人
告诉过你，你是一个糟糕的朋友)”建议在有消极的想法时，质疑自己的想法，向自己提问，后文“What
about all the times you’ve been supportive or helpful to the people in your life? (那你在生活中支持或帮助别人的时候呢)”依然是提问的问题，空处应该也是一个向自己提问的问题，因此E项“If so, is that person’s opinion
the only one you truly value? (如果是这样，那个人的意见是你唯一真正看重的吗)”符合语境，承接前一句中
的问题。故选E。
20．根据后文“During depression, however, it often feels easier to hide under your covers and let the
negative thoughts takeover than try to change your patterns. Try to challenge yourself during your stronger
moments to try to find something to feel positive about. (然而，在抑郁期间，躲在被子里让消极的想法接管比
尝试改变你的模式更容易。在你情绪较好的时候，试着挑战自己，试着找到一些让你感到积极的事情)”可
知，本段主要指出在抑郁期间改变自己很困难，应在情绪较好时去找让自己感到积极的事情，空处作为段
首句，应该与养成积极想法很困难相关，因此 D项“Building healthy habits can be hard at the best of times.
(即使在最好的时候，养成健康的习惯也很难)”符合语境，契合后文内容。故选D。原句
During depression, however, it often feels easier to hide under your covers and let the negative thoughts
takeover than try to change your patterns.
译文
然而，在抑郁期间，躲在被子里让消极的想法接管比尝试改变你的模式更容易。

that I was 26 and that I had someone relying on me.
One day, I came home from school and headed to my room to 27 Mark. I found a 28

My mom walked into my room. I turned around as tears started to well in my eyes. “Mommy, Mark died!”
With that 30 word I started crying uncontrollably. My mom came to my side as I hid my face in my
pillows.

the lessons he taught me would forever be carved into my memory.

（2022·浙江·高考真题）Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but
research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.
In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a
new made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those
who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways
of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower jobperformance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.
How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many
workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who
chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value
relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer”, says Art
Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift
mood(情绪) and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.
Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are
seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says.
“Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity.
So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.”
6．What does Ellen Langer’s study show?
A．It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist B．Translation makes people knowledgeable.
C．Simpler jobs require greater caution. D．Moderate effort produces the best result.
7．The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone Who_______.
A．is good at handling pressure B．works hard to become successful
C．a has a natural talent for his job. D．gets on well with his co-workers
8．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．A good thinker is able to inspire other people.
B．Experience unrelated to your job is useless.
C．A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind.
D．Focusing on what you do raises productivity.
9．What does the text seem to advocate?
A．Middle-of-the-road work habits. B．Balance between work and family.
C．Long-standing cultural traditions. D．Harmony in the work environment.
【答案速查】6．D 7．B 8．C 9．A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了许多人认为工作到最大限度是成功的秘诀，但研究发现，
适度的工作也会带来成果。所以要适度工作，工作时要有积极的情绪，这会让自己在工作中更有效率。
6．推理判断题。根据第一段“Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but
research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.(许多人认为工作到最大限度是成功的秘诀，
但研究发现，适度的工作也会带来成果。)”和第二段中“In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University,
researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new a made-up language. Subjects who practiced the
language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all.(在哈佛大学
Ellen Langer领导的一项研究中，研究人员要求人们将句子翻译成一种新的虚构的语言。那些事先适度练习
这门语言的受试者比那些全力练习或根本不练习的受试者犯的错误要少。)”可知，第一段提出主题，即适
度的工作也会带来成果，接着第二段作者用Ellen Langer的研究来证明这一点，由此可推知，Ellen Langer
的研究表明适度的努力会产生最好的结果。故选D。7．词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get
dirty looks from the corner office.(而他那些在会议室吃饭时闲聊的同事们则在角落办公室里得到不屑的目
光。)”可知，while前后是对比关系，那些在会议室吃饭时闲聊的同事会得到别人不屑的目光，即被认为不
努力工作，相反，那些在办公桌前吃午饭的年轻银行家可能被视为是一个努力工作以求成功的人，由此可
知，划线单词go-getter，指的是那些努力工作以求成功的人，故选B。
8．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher
levels of productivity and creativity.(此外，许多研究表明，积极的情绪能够提高生产力和创造力。 )”可知，
积极的情绪能够提高生产力和创造力，由此可推知，愉快的心情有助于创造性思维。故选C。
9．推理判断题。根据第一段中“but research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.(但研
究发现，适度的工作也会带来成果)”和第二段中“High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance,
especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.(高尽责性与低工作表现有关，尤其是在简单
的工作中，追求完美并不值得。)”可知，文章主要介绍研究表明适度的工作也会带来成果，所以文章提倡
适度工作，即中庸的工作习惯。故选A。

（2023·全国甲卷）Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common?
There is one answer. 10 .
In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However,
research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
●Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more
optimistic. 11 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of
California.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research
suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit
of waiting is to practice. 12 . Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra
minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply
it to other, more annoying situations.
● 13 .
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we
experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to
say to yourself, “ 14 .” You’ll then gradually become more patient.
A．Find your causes
B．Start with small tasks
C．Accept the uncomfortableD．All this adds up to a state of hurry
E．It can also help us practice more patience
F．This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G．They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience
【答案速查】10．G 11．E 12．B 13．C 14．F
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了变得耐心的一些方法。
10．根据上文“Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in
common? There’s one answer. (这里有一个谜语：交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期开始有什么共同之处？答案
只有一个)”可知，本句说明上文谜语的答案，结合“交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期”这些情况可知都需要
耐心。故G选项“在这些情况下，我们都需要一点额外的耐心”符合语境，故选G。
11．根据上文“Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even
more optimistic.(感恩有很多好处：研究表明，感恩让我们更快乐，压力更小，甚至更乐观)”以及后文
““Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. (加州大
学的研究员叶丽说：“表达感激可以培养自我控制能力。”)”可知，上文提到了感恩的诸多好处，可知本
句继续说明感恩的好处：它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心。E选项中It指代上文Thankfulness。故E选项
“它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心”符合语境，故选E。
12．根据上文“And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. (我们养成等待习惯的唯一
方法就是练习)”以及后文“Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before
going for that cake. (把你最喜欢的节目推迟到周末再看，或者多等10分钟再去吃蛋糕)”可知，后文列举的
事情都是日常的小事，说明要从小事开始练习等待，故B选项“从小任务开始”符合语境，故选B。
13．根据本段内容“So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and
when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. (我们中的
许多人都认为舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时，我们会对环境失去耐心)”
可知，本段提到了舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，结合前文的小标题都是祈使句可知，本段的主旨与接受
不舒适相关，C选项中uncomfortable对应后文comfortable。故C选项“接受不舒服”符合语境，故选C。
14．根据上文“You should learn to say to yourself (你应该学会对自己说……)”以及后文“You’ll then
gradually become more patient. (然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心)”结合本段主要说明的是不舒服的状态，可知，
本句为对自己所说的话与接受不舒服相关，故F选项“这仅仅是不舒服，而不是无法忍受”符合语境，故
选F。

文。
“Dear Jenny, I am really sorry to tell you that you didn’t get the position this time. The interviewers had a
discussion about you. You have a very good experience, but you are not qualified for this position. The journalist
we want is to communicate with people from walks of life, so you should be more sociable and more energetic. So,
sorry.” Actually, such was not quite new to Jenny and this was the third time that she had been rejected for a job
position after her graduation from university as a top student.
Overwhelmed (淹没) with sadness, she lifted her hands to cover her face. Her heart was broken with self-
doubt whether she was never good enough to fit in with the highly competitive adult world. It seemed that the
excellence she displayed at school was nothing but illusion. “Maybe I should quit applying for that demanding
job,” Jenny whispered to herself.
Sensing something wrong, Jenny’s father, James, said to his daughter, “Congratulations on your graduation,
and time to enjoy your youth. In celebration of your new life, I’d like to give you something special. Here is a car
that I acquired many years ago. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them you
want to sell it and see how much they offer you.”
Unwilling as Jenny was, she went to the used car lot and they offered her only one thousand dollars because
the car looked very worn out. With that offer, she returned back to her father and out of her expectation, this time
her father told her to take this car to a pawnshop (当铺). Confused, Jenny went to the pawnshop where they should
have offered her ten thousand dollars as her father’s car looked a little bit old to them. “Maybe it is a perfect deal!”
thought Jenny. But then, the father advised his daughter to keep trying and go to a car club and show them the car.
The daughter took the car to the club, and then, breathtakingly, something magic happened.

参考答案：
【范文】
People there willingly offered one hundred thousand dollars for the same car. Shocked, Jenny couldn’t believe
what was happening in front of her. Ideas and questions came to mind, so she asked herself, “How could the prices
be so different at different places? Are these guys out of mind to buy such a worn-out car?” Without any clues, she
dashed back to her father and couldn’t wait to make out the truth. So she told James what had happened in the car
club.
Wearing a satisfied smile, James said, “They identified it as an expensive car.” In fact, never had people in the
used car lot and the pawnshop recognized the value under the broken cover. Patting gently on Jenny’s shoulder,
James said, “I want you to know that you are not worth anything if you are not in a right place. Don’t stay where
your value goes unnoticed.” With moved tears in her eyes, Jenny understood she should know her worth and
surround herself with those who could recognize it and that the true value would shine only when she was in the
right environment. She knew clearly what to do next.
