My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we've gone through both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago, I knew it following an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally decided: I hate it!
By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow (琴弓) moved across it. It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin's voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my passion and, interest in violin—I grabbed mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when I'm deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I'm walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn tunes calm me down. Gradually, it has become a part of my life.
My violin, shall I compare you to a summer's day
29. What further led to the author's dislike of violin-playing
A. Orders from Mum. B. Boredom of practice.
C. Disappointment in the teacher's eyes. D. Loss of passion for violin.
30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A. The author's feeling was continuously influenced by the music.
B. The weather actually changed because of the tune.
C. The sudden change made the author's heart unable to beat.
D. The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.
31. Why did the author pick up the violin again
A. The invisible hammer and claw are gone.
B. The beautiful imagination changed his attitude.
C. A famous tune aroused his interest and passion.
D. He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn's works.
32. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Musical soul mate—violin. B. My dislike and like of violin.
C. An inspiring story of violin. D. Deep love for music.

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally decided: I hate it!(更糟糕的是，当我弹错音符时，老师眼中的失望就像一把无形的锤子，敲打着我的心。有一天，我终于决定：我讨厌它！)”可知，当作者演奏错误时老师失望的眼神加剧了作者对小提琴的不喜欢。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin's voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air.

【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.(我在网上搜索了德国作曲家门德尔松的著名小提琴作品E小调协奏曲，并听了它)”以及第五段中“That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin—I grabbed mine and never let it go.(那辉煌的一天点燃了我对小提琴的热情和兴趣——我紧紧抓住我的激情，永不放弃)”可知，Felix Mendelssohn的E-minor Concerto这首名曲让作者对小提琴又有了兴趣和热情，故选C。

Many gardeners believe that “talking” to their plants helps them grow — it turns out that they may not be crazy after all. According to the scientists from the University of Exeter, plants may keep communicating with each other through a secret “unseen” language.
For their experiment, the scientists picked a cabbage plant that is known to send out a gas when its surface is cut. In order to get video evidence of the communication, they changed the cabbage gene by adding the luciferase (荧光素酶), which is what makes fireflies (萤火虫) glow in the dark.
When the changed cabbage plant was in full bloom, they cut a leaf off with a pair of scissors, and almost immediately, thanks to the luciferase, they could see the plant sending out “methyl jasmonate (茉莉酸甲酯)”.
While this was a known fact, what was surprising was the fact that the minute this gas began to give out, the nearby cabbage plants seemed to sense some kind of danger and started to send out a gas that they normally have to keep enemies like caterpillars (毛虫) away.
What the scientists are not sure is whether the plants are trying to warn the other leaves or the near plants about the danger — something that will require further research. However, the team, which is led by Professor Nick Smirnoff, is quite excited about the findings because this is the first time it has been proved that plants do not live a passive life, but actually move, sense and even communicate with each other.
33. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Gardeners. B. Plants. C. Scientists. D. Fireflies.
34. When the plant sent out methyl iasmonate, which of the following statements is NOT true
A. The nearby cabbage plants seemed to sense some kind of danger.
B. The nearby cabbage plants started to send out a gas.
C. The nearby cabbage plants tried to warn the near plants.
D. The nearby cabbage plants communicated through a secret language.
35. According to the experiment, plants __________.
A. don’t live a passive life B. can feel pain when they are cut
C. can warm the other leaves about danger D. can talk with each other
36. From which is the text probably taken
A. A health magazine. B. A biology magazine.
C. A medical research paper. D. A travel brochure.
【答案】33. A 34. C 35. A 36. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍科学家们通过实验发现，植物之间可能在通过一种看不见的语言进行交流。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据指代关系和划线词所在句“Many gardeners believe that “talking” to their plants helps them grow — it turns out that they may not be crazy after all.(许多园丁认为，与植物“交谈”有助于植物生长——事实证明，他们可能根本没有疯。)”可推知，指示代词they指代上文中的“gardeners”。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根第五段中“What the scientists are not sure is whether the plants are trying to warn the other leaves or the near plants about the danger — something that will require further research.(科学家们不确定的是，这些植物是否在试图警告其他叶子或附近的植物有危险——这需要进一步的研究。)”可知，“附近的卷心菜试图警告附近的植物。”是错误的表述。故选C项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“However, the team, which is led by Professor Nick Smirnoff, is quite excited about the findings because this is the first time it has been proved that plants do not live a passive life, but actually move, sense and even communicate with each other.(然而，由尼克·斯米尔诺夫教授领导的研究小组对这一发现感到非常兴奋，因为这是第一次证明植物不是被动地生活，而是真正地移动、感知甚至相互交流。)”可知，实验表明植物不是被动地生活。故选A项。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“According to the scientists from the University of Exeter, plants may keep communicating with each other through a secret “unseen” language.(据埃克塞特大学的科学家称，植物可能通过一种秘密的“看不见的”语言保持着彼此之间的交流。)”和最后一段中“However, the team, which is led by Professor Nick Smirnoff, is quite excited about the findings because this is the first time it has been proved that plants do not live a passive life, but actually move, sense and even communicate with each other.(然而，由尼克·斯米尔诺夫教授领导的研究小组对这一发现感到非常兴奋，因为这是第一次证明植物不是被动地生活，而是真正地移动、感知甚至相互交流。)”可知，文章介绍了科学家们发现植物之间可能在通过一种“看不见的”语言进行交流，植物并不是被动地生活，它们有感知和交流。由此推知，本文很可能选自生物学杂志。故选B项。
D
Everyone would agree that it is parents’ job to teach their kids right from wrong. The rise in teen crime suggests that some parents are failing at these tasks. To correct the problem, lawmakers in some states require parents to serve jail time when their children get into serious trouble again and again. The lawmakers hope that this punishment will motivate parents to take their responsibilities seriously.
Supporters of these laws believe that the threat of jail will scare parents into paying more attention to their teens’ behavior than before. They think that these parents would be happy to let the state try to straighten out their kids at juvenile detention centers (少管所), because the centers took the responsibility off the parents’ shoulders. With the new laws, the responsibility is put back on the parents. “The hope is,” a supporter said, “that if parents are held legally responsible, they’ll work harder to keep their youngsters in line.”
However, many people think the laws are unfair. They argue that parents should not be punished for the criminal acts of their children, unless it can be shown there is a contributory fault on the parents’ part.
People who oppose parental responsibility laws also believe that punishing parents won’t create a change in the kids’ behavior. These people argue that parents may not be at fault. The children of good parents can fall in with the wrong kids and get into trouble, they say. Worse yet, if mom is in jail, there may be no one at all to control her kid. …
The unfortunate fact is that jailing a parent punishes the rest of the family. The jailed parent cannot work to help support the family and may also be fired from a job for missing too much work. Furthermore, little evidence exists to support the idea that the threat of punishment improves a parent’s ability to control a teenager. Opponents of parental responsibility laws say that parents who are in this situation need help, not a jail sentence.
37. The phrase “keep their youngsters in line” (in Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. get their kids to stay at home B. make their kids behave well
C. help their kids make a living D. require their kids to queue in public
38. Which of the following sentences may best end Paragraph 4
A. So, they believe that it’s easy for mom to control her kid’s behavior.
B. So, they believe that mom should be jailed for her contributory fault.
C. So they believe that lack of mom’s control may then lead to more crime.
D. So, they believe that mom’s control has a negative effect on her kid’s behavior.
39. Opponents of parental responsibility laws think that ________.
A. parents should never be punished for their kids’ crimes
B. jailing a parent may drive the family into a worse situation
C. the laws are unfair even if they help parents control their kids
D. responsible parents needn’t worry that their kids will commit crimes
40. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Whether parents should be jailed for their kids’ criminal acts.
B. How parents deal with young troublemakers in their daily life.
C. What parents need when their kids commit crimes again and again.
D. Why laws should be made to hold parents responsible for their kids.
【答案】37. B 38. C 39. B 40. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文。主要讨论孩子犯罪时，父母应不应该坐牢。
【37题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Everyone would agree that it is parents’ job to teach their kids right from wrong. The rise in teen crime suggests that some parents are failing at these tasks.”（每个人都认为教给孩子分清好与坏是父母的事情。青少年犯罪率的上升表明有些父母没有承担好这项责任。）可知，因为父母没有教育好孩子才导致孩子犯罪，所以“ if parents are held legally responsible, they’ll work harder to keep their youngsters in line.”这句话的意思应该是：如果父母被从法律上约束着对这样的事情负责，那么他们将会投入更多的精力去保持他们的孩子们懂规矩，不犯罪。所以“keep their youngsters in line”的意思应该是“让他们的孩子们懂规矩”。故选B。

推理判断题。根据上文“The children of good parents can fall in with the wrong kids and get into trouble”（好的父母的孩子们可能会跟坏孩子们在一起玩并陷入麻烦）可知，如果因为孩子犯罪，母亲再被判刑，那么很有可能就更加没有人管孩子，孩子犯罪的可能就会更大了。所以这一段的总结应该是：他们相信，没有了母亲的约束可能会导致孩子们犯更多的罪。故选C。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四、五段“Worse yet, if mom is in jail, there may be no one at all to control her kid. …The unfortunate fact is that jailing a parent punishes the rest of the family. The jailed parent cannot work to help support the family and may also be fired from a job for missing too much work. Furthermore, little evidence exists to support the idea that the threat of punishment improves a parent’s ability to control a teenager.”（ 更糟糕的是，如果妈妈在监狱里，可能根本没有人能控制她的孩子。……不幸的是，把父母关起来就是在惩罚家里的其他人。被监禁的父母不能工作来帮助养家，也可能因为错过太多工作而被解雇。此外，几乎没有证据表明惩罚的威胁能提高父母控制青少年的能力。）可知，反对父母责任法的人认为，对父母的惩罚会使得他们的家庭生活更加的糟糕。故选B。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的内容可以判断，这篇文章主要讲述父母应不应该因为孩子犯罪而坐牢。故选A。

66. passed posing
68. musical
69. as 70. her
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了三位艺术家的艺术灵感来源。
【61题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意：每一个艺术家愿望都是创造一些表达想法的东西。根据空后的wish可知，空处应用名词所有格，作定语。故填artist’s。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意参考上题。分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个定语从句，修饰先行词something，为指物的不定代词，且在从句中作主语，只能用关系代词that引导从句。故填that。
【63题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：但是是谁或是什么启发了他们？根据句意和上下文，这里陈述的是一般情况，应用一般现在时。or连接两个并列的主语，谓语动词应遵循就近原则，和后面的主语保持一致，且主语为疑问词what，所以谓语应用单数形式。故填inspires。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼是一位视觉艺术家。artist为可数名词，且这里表示泛指，空后的visual发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：“大黄鸭”和“浮鱼”是他的著名作品。work意为“作品”时为可数名词，再根据句中的“Rubber Duck and Floating Fish”可知，这里应用复数形式。故填works。
【66题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他的灵感来源于他孩子们的儿童玩具、代代相传的中国民间故事以及在乌镇西区的经历。分析句子结构，空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语Chinese folk tales和pass之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用过去分词，作后置定语。故填passed。
【67题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：谭盾，作曲家，因给电影《卧虎藏龙》和2008年北京奥运会谱曲而出名。空处应用动名词，作介词for的宾语。故填composing。
【68题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他的灵感来源于中国的音乐传统和西方的影响。空处应用形容词作定语修饰traditions。musical意为“音乐的”符合题意。故填musical。
【69题详解】
考查介词。句意：杨丽萍是一位被称为“孔雀公主”的舞者，因为她的孔雀舞精神。be known as意为“被称为”，为固定搭配。故填as。
【70题详解】
考查代词。句意：对她来说，灵感来源于西双版纳的生活、傣族的舞蹈风格和傣族的传统信仰。空处作介词for的宾语，应用代词宾格。故填her。
第三部分 写作(共一节，满分25分)
第一节 读后续写(满分25分)
71. 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。
When I was little, I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of all kinds of flowers, and roses were the most beautiful of them. There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it ” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled reassuringly.
注意：
1.续写词数应150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said,
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the play, I took home the flower.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator’s part is just as important as the part of a princess.” Her wise words inspired me with courage and confidence. But on the evening of the performance, I suddenly felt nervous backstage again. My teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give you this,” she said, handing me a dandelion. Looking at it, I knew my mother was out there for me, which calmed me down.
After the play, I took home the flower. My mother made it into a dried flower and put it into a glass bottle. Every time I see it, I am reminded of this unforgettable experience. I have taken part in many school plays, tried different roles and made many speeches ever since. Gradually, I’ve become really good at performing and public speaking, seldom feeling nervous onstage now. For this, I am forever grateful to my mother, who have made me what I am today.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和她母亲之间的故事，作者在一次演出中被选中扮演公主的角色，反复不断的练习，但是由于紧张迈步就忘记台词，老师给作者换了一个旁白的角色，作者非常伤心，于是作者的妈妈用蒲公英来告诉作者旁白和公主的角色一样重要，激发了作者的勇气和信心，并且这件事从此成为了作者难忘的经历，激励作者变得非常擅长表演和演讲，作者非常感谢她的妈妈成就了今天的她。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“但是你可以成为一个很好的旁白，”她说。”可知，第一段可描写作者受到妈妈的鼓励，鼓起勇气，完成了演出。
②由第二段首句内容“演出结束后，我把话带回家。”可知，第二段可描写作者和母亲之间的故事，成为了作者难忘的经历，并且让她变得擅长表演和演出。
2.续写线索：提醒——鼓舞——走过来——镇静——难忘的——感谢
3.词汇激活
行为类
①鼓舞：inspire/ encourage

My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we've gone through both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago, I knew it following an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally decided: I hate it!
By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow (琴弓) moved across it. It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin's voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my passion and, interest in violin—I grabbed mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when I'm deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I'm walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn tunes calm me down. Gradually, it has become a part of my life.
My violin, shall I compare you to a summer's day

Many gardeners believe that “talking” to their plants helps them grow — it turns out that they may not be crazy after all. According to the scientists from the University of Exeter, plants may keep communicating with each other through a secret “unseen” language.
For their experiment, the scientists picked a cabbage plant that is known to send out a gas when its surface is cut. In order to get video evidence of the communication, they changed the cabbage gene by adding the luciferase (荧光素酶), which is what makes fireflies (萤火虫) glow in the dark.
When the changed cabbage plant was in full bloom, they cut a leaf off with a pair of scissors, and almost immediately, thanks to the luciferase, they could see the plant sending out “methyl jasmonate (茉莉酸甲酯)”.
While this was a known fact, what was surprising was the fact that the minute this gas began to give out, the nearby cabbage plants seemed to sense some kind of danger and started to send out a gas that they normally have to keep enemies like caterpillars (毛虫) away.
What the scientists are not sure is whether the plants are trying to warn the other leaves or the near plants about the danger — something that will require further research. However, the team, which is led by Professor Nick Smirnoff, is quite excited about the findings because this is the first time it has been proved that plants do not live a passive life, but actually move, sense and even communicate with each other.
33. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Gardeners. B. Plants. C. Scientists. D. Fireflies.
34. When the plant sent out methyl iasmonate, which of the following statements is NOT true

D
Everyone would agree that it is parents’ job to teach their kids right from wrong. The rise in teen crime suggests that some parents are failing at these tasks. To correct the problem, lawmakers in some states require parents to serve jail time when their children get into serious trouble again and again. The lawmakers hope that this punishment will motivate parents to take their responsibilities seriously.
Supporters of these laws believe that the threat of jail will scare parents into paying more attention to their teens’ behavior than before. They think that these parents would be happy to let the state try to straighten out their kids at juvenile detention centers (少管所), because the centers took the responsibility off the parents’ shoulders. With the new laws, the responsibility is put back on the parents. “The hope is,” a supporter said, “that if parents are held legally responsible, they’ll work harder to keep their youngsters in line.”
However, many people think the laws are unfair. They argue that parents should not be punished for the criminal acts of their children, unless it can be shown there is a contributory fault on the parents’ part.
People who oppose parental responsibility laws also believe that punishing parents won’t create a change in the kids’ behavior. These people argue that parents may not be at fault. The children of good parents can fall in with the wrong kids and get into trouble, they say. Worse yet, if mom is in jail, there may be no one at all to control her kid. …
The unfortunate fact is that jailing a parent punishes the rest of the family. The jailed parent cannot work to help support the family and may also be fired from a job for missing too much work. Furthermore, little evidence exists to support the idea that the threat of punishment improves a parent’s ability to control a teenager. Opponents of parental responsibility laws say that parents who are in this situation need help, not a jail sentence.
37 The phrase “keep their youngsters in line” (in Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. get their kids to stay at home B. make their kids behave well
C. help their kids make a living D. require their kids to queue in public
38. Which of the following sentences may best end Paragraph 4
A. So, they believe that it’s easy for mom to control her kid’s behavior.
B. So, they believe that mom should be jailed for her contributory fault.
C. So, they believe that lack of mom’s control may then lead to more crime.
D. So, they believe that mom’s control has a negative effect on her kid’s behavior.
39. Opponents of parental responsibility laws think that ________.
A. parents should never be punished for their kids’ crimes
B. jailing a parent may drive the family into a worse situation
C. the laws are unfair even if they help parents control their kids
D. responsible parents needn’t worry that their kids will commit crimes
40. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Whether parents should be jailed for their kids’ criminal acts.
B. How parents deal with young troublemakers in their daily life.
C. What parents need when their kids commit crimes again and again.
D. Why laws should be made to hold parents responsible for their kids.

71. 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。
When I was little, I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of all kinds of flowers, and roses were the most beautiful of them. There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it ” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled reassuringly.
