It’s been more than 60 years since Jane Goodall started her pioneering work. In 1960, she was chosen to go to what is now Tanzania and study the little-known world of chimpanzees. Since then, Goodall has received many awards and honorary degrees as a world-famous conservationist (自然环境保护主义者). Now, Goodall has received an unusual honor. She is becoming a toy — a Barbie doll.
Goodall may not have expected to become a Barbie at 88 years old — but it’s not just any doll, it’s made out of recycled plastic. And Barbie is partnering with the Jane Goodall Foundation and its Roots & Shoots program which inspires young people to protect animals and the environment.
“You know, the main message is that every day you live, you make an influence on the planet and you get to choose what sort of influence you make,” Goodall said.
“There was a little boy of 7 in Burundi, and I had given a talk to the school and he came up to me and said, ‘If I pick out a piece of trash every day, it will make a difference, won’t it ’ And I said, ‘Yes it will. And suppose you persuade (劝说) 10 of your friends to pick up a piece of rubbish every day.’ He said, ‘Oh, that would really make a difference and then they could all get 10 of their friends, couldn’t they ’ Goodall said, “So, that’s it. The cumulative (积累的) effect of small actions can lead to big change.”
She’s been inspiring young people for decades, but now, newer generations will get to know Jane Goodall. “I sincerely hope that it will help to create more interest in the natural world,” she said about the Barbie. “Because hopefully, you know, they’ll learn more about me through the doll. And that will get them interested. It doesn’t really matter if they have a career in conservation, as long as they pay attention to conservation in their daily lives.”
4. What is the intention of Barbie’s making a doll of Jane Goodall
A. To give Jane Goodall a surprise.
B. To test the quality of recycled plastic.
C. To encourage environmental protection.
D. To start a cooperative research program.
5. What idea does Goodall’s conversation with the little boy mainly convey
A. Everyone can make an impact on the planet.
B. Children will make the future world a better place.
C. Every child should pick up a piece of rubbish every day.
D. The accumulation of tiny actions makes a great difference.
6. What is Goodall’s attitude towards the Barbie doll
A. Critical. B. Supportive.
C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
7. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Jane Goodall’s Good Expectation of Nature Conservation
B. Young People’s Strong Interest in Nature Conservation
C. Great Popularity of a New Barbie Doll of Jane Goodall
D. Inspire Newer Generations to Care About Conservation Through a Doll
C
I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps (券) and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional (功能失调的) public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even if my electricity was cut off, I still woke up at 5: 30, because I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Being poor could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when180 others had already turned me down.
Every day, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

Plenty, an agricultural technology company in San Francisco, is reinventing farms and farming. Nater Storye, the company’s chief science officer says the future of the farms will be vertical (垂直的) and indoors, so food can be grown anywhere in the world all year round, and farms will employ robots and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the quality of growth for fruits and vegetables. Plenty does all those things but uses 95% less water and 99% less land.
As AI is on the rise, farmers on flat farms have been using new tools to make farming better or easier. In recent years, they have been using drones (无人机) and robots to improve efficiency. However, flat farms still use a lot of water and land, while a Plenty’s vertical farm can produce the same quantity of fruits and vegetables as a 720-acre flat farm, but on only 2 acres.
Plenty’s climate-controlled indoor farm has rows of plants growing vertically. There are LED lights shining on them, robots moving them around, and AI managing all the variables of water, temperature, and light. The conditions are so good that the production per acre is 400 times higher than that of an outdoor farm.
Another advantage of vertical farming is that the fruits and vegetables are grown at a warehouse nearby instead of 1,000 miles away or more from a city. That means many transportation miles are saved, which can reduce millions of tons of greenhouse gases every year and the price of fruits and vegetables will also go down. Imported (进口的) fruits and vegetables are more expensive, so poor people in society are at an extreme nutritional disadvantage. Vertical farms could cope with this problem.
Also, Plenty’s farms grow organic food without using herbicides (除草剂) or pesticides. They recycle all the water used, even catching the water in the air. The best farm in San Francisco is using 100% renewable energy.
Moreover, all the packaging is 100% recyclable, made of recycled plastic and specially designed to keep the food fresh longer to reduce food waste. Ideally, the company will branch out, opening farms across the country and beyond.
12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Robots and AI used on vertical farms can quicken the growth of plants.
B. Fruits and vegetables grown on vertical farms are more tasty.
C. Both land and water can be saved on vertical farms.
D. Plenty is the first company to grow crops on vertical farms.
13. What docs the underlined phrase “cope with” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Register. B. Improve. C. Present. D. Solve.
14. What can we infer about Plenty’s future vertical farms from the text
A They will have more farms. B. They will only be run by robots and AI.
C. They will bring about terrible problems. D. They will completely take the place of flat farms.
15. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To question the possibility of vertical farming
B. To show the technologies of vertical farming.
C. To discuss the potential problems of vertical farming
D. To introduce and explain the benefits of vertical farming.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
They say once you learn to ride a bike, you never forget. Most of us learned to ride when we were kids, and many still wear our helmets, put our feet on the pedals, and shoot off for a ride on the streets. In recent times, cycling has seen an increase in popularity, so many people raise a question: ___16___
First, let’s look at the health benefits. Cycling can improve your cardiovascular (心血管的) health and burn extra body fat. Strengthening your muscles in your legs helps increase your potential torque (扭矩) and cadence (节奏). ___17___ A long ride in the countryside could help you clear your mind, or de-stress. But it’s not only about your body and mind there are also some plus sides for your wallet’s health.
Cycling can be a great way to go to work or get about town. ___18___ If you drive to work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a nightmare, whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler. Then, on the subway, there are changes at stations and other people who go to work speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. ___19___ And if you’re worried about safety, there are designated cycle lanes in many major cities. In addition, wearing high-visibility clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.
___20___ It can help you reduce your carbon footprints. Not giving off greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.
So whether people want to cycle for their health, their wallet, the environment, or a combination of all of them —the popularity of cycling is on the rise.
A. What makes cycling so convenient
B. But cyclists face neither of these issues.
C. And people will choose to go to work by cycling.
D. This can save you a lot of money on fuel or public transportation.
E. Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment.
F. And the benefits from cycling aren’t just physical, but mental as well.
G. What makes it so attractive for people to take their bikes once again

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And unless otherwise assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher. I always____21____to sit at the back of the classroom.

At first I thought it was a crazy____23____because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the____24____to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “____25____for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the____26____of it! When I first started____27____the practice sessions (练习赛), I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much less what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get____28____and take a shot at the wrong direction — which made me feel really stupid.____29____, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to_____30_____learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I_____31_____the rules and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive_____32_____in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned_____33_____to play and made friends in the process — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my_____34_____self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from“_____35_____” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself to raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent sure I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My family moved from Taiwan to a smalltown in central Georgia, where my dad got a visa for his family and a job. I had just learned English, and from what little I could gather from my friends. Santa Claus would come down one’s chimney and put toys in one’s stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country, I thought. After I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary, I knew what I had to do and always expected that day.
Finally, the big day came. On that wonderful night, after everyone went to bed, I sneaked out of bed, took my longest, cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel (壁炉). Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character. Gazing at the sock and imagining the delicately-packed gift in it, I couldn’t help giggling (咯咯笑). For the first time, I found it hard to fall asleep.
And for the first time, I woke up before everyone else in the early morning. Then I headed straight to the fireplace and was even ready for what to say after seeing the gift. However, what happened next was the least thing I wanted to mention. On the nail was the empty and lonely sock. I was hit with the reality of the empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I tried my best to holdback my tears but failed. Bursting into tears, I quickly took down the sock and stuffed it in the back of a drawer.
Every December since then, the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up, and I would amuse my friends with my poor-little-me story. I had to make it as funny as possible, or else I would cry once again. I didn’t know whether any of my audience ever noticed the sparkling tears hidden in my eyes.
How could I know that Santa was just late Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, I heard a knock on the door when I was watching TV. Unwillingly, I dragged my feet and opened the door.
(1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
(2)如下格式作答。
Outside the door stood an old man with a white beard and a red cap, holding a well-packed box.

Through tear-blurred eyes, I recognized the handwriting on the card.

It’s been more than 60 years since Jane Goodall started her pioneering work. In 1960, she was chosen to go to what is now Tanzania and study the little-known world of chimpanzees. Since then, Goodall has received many awards and honorary degrees as a world-famous conservationist (自然环境保护主义者). Now, Goodall has received an unusual honor. She is becoming a toy — a Barbie doll.
Goodall may not have expected to become a Barbie at 88 years old — but it’s not just any doll, it’s made out of recycled plastic. And Barbie is partnering with the Jane Goodall Foundation and its Roots & Shoots program which inspires young people to protect animals and the environment.
“You know, the main message is that every day you live, you make an influence on the planet and you get to choose what sort of influence you make,” Goodall said.
“There was a little boy of 7 in Burundi, and I had given a talk to the school and he came up to me and said, ‘If I pick out a piece of trash every day, it will make a difference, won’t it ’ And I said, ‘Yes it will. And suppose you persuade (劝说) 10 of your friends to pick up a piece of rubbish every day.’ He said, ‘Oh, that would really make a difference and then they could all get 10 of their friends, couldn’t they ’ Goodall said, “So, that’s it. The cumulative (积累的) effect of small actions can lead to big change.”
She’s been inspiring young people for decades, but now, newer generations will get to know Jane Goodall. “I sincerely hope that it will help to create more interest in the natural world,” she said about the Barbie. “Because hopefully, you know, they’ll learn more about me through the doll. And that will get them interested. It doesn’t really matter if they have a career in conservation, as long as they pay attention to conservation in their daily lives.”

推理判断题。根据第四段中的““There was a little boy of 7 in Burundi, and I had given a talk to the school and he came up to me and said, ‘If I pick out a piece of trash every day, it will make a difference, won’t it ’ And I said, ‘Yes it will. And suppose you persuade (劝说) 10 of your friends to pick up a piece of rubbish every day.’ He said, ‘Oh, that would really make a difference and then they could all get 10 of their friends, couldn’t they ’ Goodall said, “So, that’s it. The cumulative (积累的) effect of small actions can lead to big change.” (“布隆迪有一个7岁的小男孩，我在学校做了一次演讲，他走过来对我说，‘如果我每天捡一块垃圾，情况就会有所不同，不是吗 ’我说：‘会的。假设你说服你的10个朋友每天捡一块垃圾。’他说，‘哦，那真的很重要，这样他们就能得到10个朋友，不是吗 ’”古道尔说：“就是这样。小行动的累积效应可以带来大的变化。”)”可知，Jane Goodall与小男孩的对话主要传达了日积月累的小行动也会产生巨大的影响这一理念。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““I sincerely hope that it will help to create more interest in the natural world,” she said about the Barbie. “Because hopefully, you know, they’ll learn more about me through the doll. And that will get them interested. It doesn’t really matter if they have a career in conservation, as long as they pay attention to conservation in their daily lives.” (“我真诚地希望它能帮助人们对自然世界产生更多的兴趣，”她谈到芭比娃娃时说。“因为希望，你知道，他们会通过娃娃更多地了解我。这会引起他们的兴趣。只要他们在日常生活中注意保护，他们是否从事保护工作并不重要。”)”可知Jane Goodall对这款芭比娃娃寄予厚望，她希望它能让新一代的人更多地了解她，并激发他们保护自然环境的兴趣。由此可以推断出，她支持推出这款芭比娃娃。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要介绍的是芭比娃娃公司推出了一款以自然环境保护主义者Jane Goodall为原型的芭比娃娃，以鼓励年轻人保护自然环境。因此，D项“通过玩偶激发新一代的环保意识”适合作本文标题。故选D。

I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps (券) and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional (功能失调的) public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even if my electricity was cut off, I still woke up at 5: 30, because I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Being poor could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when180 others had already turned me down.
Every day, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

D
Plenty, an agricultural technology company in San Francisco, is reinventing farms and farming. Nater Storye, the company’s chief science officer says the future of the farms will be vertical (垂直的) and indoors, so food can be grown anywhere in the world all year round, and farms will employ robots and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the quality of growth for fruits and vegetables. Plenty does all those things but uses 95% less water and 99% less land.
As AI is on the rise, farmers on flat farms have been using new tools to make farming better or easier. In recent years, they have been using drones (无人机) and robots to improve efficiency. However, flat farms still use a lot of water and land, while a Plenty’s vertical farm can produce the same quantity of fruits and vegetables as a 720-acre flat farm, but on only 2 acres.
Plenty’s climate-controlled indoor farm has rows of plants growing vertically. There are LED lights shining on them, robots moving them around, and AI managing all the variables of water, temperature, and light. The conditions are so good that the production per acre is 400 times higher than that of an outdoor farm.
Another advantage of vertical farming is that the fruits and vegetables are grown at a warehouse nearby instead of 1,000 miles away or more from a city. That means many transportation miles are saved, which can reduce millions of tons of greenhouse gases every year and the price of fruits and vegetables will also go down. Imported (进口的) fruits and vegetables are more expensive, so poor people in society are at an extreme nutritional disadvantage. Vertical farms could cope with this problem.
Also, Plenty’s farms grow organic food without using herbicides (除草剂) or pesticides. They recycle all the water used, even catching the water in the air. The best farm in San Francisco is using 100% renewable energy.
Moreover, all the packaging is 100% recyclable, made of recycled plastic and specially designed to keep the food fresh longer to reduce food waste. Ideally, the company will branch out, opening farms across the country and beyond.
12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Robots and AI used on vertical farms can quicken the growth of plants.
B. Fruits and vegetables grown on vertical farms are more tasty.
C. Both land and water can be saved on vertical farms.
D. Plenty is the first company to grow crops on vertical farms.
13. What docs the underlined phrase “cope with” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Register. B. Improve. C. Present. D. Solve.
14. What can we infer about Plenty’s future vertical farms from the text
A. They will have more farms. B. They will only be run by robots and AI.
C. They will bring about terrible problems. D. They will completely take the place of flat farms.
15. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To question the possibility of vertical farming
B. To show the technologies of vertical farming.
C. To discuss the potential problems of vertical farming
D. To introduce and explain the benefits of vertical farming.

【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Imported (进口的) fruits and vegetables are more expensive, so poor people in society are at an extreme nutritional disadvantage.(进口水果和蔬菜更贵，所以社会上的穷人在营养方面处于极端劣势)”以及该段其他内容说明，该段主要讲述了垂直农业的另一个优势，从而推知划线词句“Vertical farms could cope with this problem.(垂直农场可以cope with这个问题)”其中划线短语应为“解决”的意思，与D项Solve“解决”同义。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，根据最后一段中“Ideally, the company will branch out, opening farms across the country and beyond.(理想情况下，该公司将扩大规模，在全国各地及其他地区开设农场)”可知，在未来，Plenty将会有更多的垂直农场。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Plenty does all those things but uses 95% less water and 99% less land.(Plenty做了所有这些事情，但少用了95%的水，少用了99%的土地)”和第四段中“Another advantage of vertical farming is that the fruits and vegetables are grown at a warehouse nearby instead of 1,000 miles away or more from a city.(垂直农业的另一个优点是，水果和蔬菜是在附近的仓库种植的，而不是离城市1000英里或更远的地方)”和倒数第二段中“Also, Plenty’s farms grow organic food without using herbicides (除草剂) or pesticides.(此外，许多农场种植的有机食品不使用除草剂或杀虫剂)”以及最后一段中“Moreover, all the packaging is 100% recyclable, made of recycled plastic and specially designed to keep the food fresh longer to reduce food waste.(此外，所有的包装都是100%可回收的，由再生塑料制成，特别设计可以使食物保持更长时间的新鲜，以减少食物浪费)”可知，本文主要介绍了垂直农业的多种益处并就其益处进行了解释。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了丝绸之路在历史上的作用和重要性。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：丝绸之路是古代和中世纪连接东西方的贸易路线网络。分析句子结构，空处引导的是一个限制性定语从句，修饰先行词The Silk Road，指物，且在从句中作主语，所以应用which或that引导。故填which/that。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：除了丝绸，丝绸之路沿线还有其他各种商品的贸易，该网络对科学、技术和艺术理想的传播也很重要。根据空后的Silk Road可知，这里是“丝绸之路”这个专有名词，其前应加定冠词the。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：丝绸之路对沿途的土地产生了巨大的影响，贸易对丝绸之路沿线城镇的发展也很重要。have a great influence on意为“对……有重要影响”。故填on。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意参考上题。空处应填名词作宾语，development“发展”为不可数名词。故填development。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：丝绸之路沿线的许多商人都加入了中转贸易，在贸易中，一件物品会多次易主，并在到达最终买家之前与每一个买家一起旅行一段时间。空处为主句谓语动词，根据句中的would change和句意，这里表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填joined。
【41题详解】
考查名词的数。句意参考上题。time作“次”讲时是可数名词，其前有many修饰，所以应用名词复数。故填times。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：对于任何一个商人来说，千里迢迢往返于中国和欧洲或北非之间似乎都是极不寻常的。这里应用副词修饰后面的unusual，enormously意为“非常，极其”符合题意。故填enormously。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：相反，许多商人专注于通过丝绸之路的各个路段运输货物。空前有介词on，这里应用动名词作宾语。故填transporting。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：它对世界文明的进步和人类社会的进步具有重要意义。空前的“the improvement of world civilization”和空后的“the progress of human society”之间是并列关系，所以应用and连接。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：对丝绸之路的研究在今天继续产生着强大的影响。空处应用形容词，修饰空后的influence。powerful“强大的”符合题意。故填powerful。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My family moved from Taiwan to a smalltown in central Georgia, where my dad got a visa for his family and a job. I had just learned English, and from what little I could gather from my friends. Santa Claus would come down one’s chimney and put toys in one’s stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country, I thought. After I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary, I knew what I had to do and always expected that day.
Finally, the big day came. On that wonderful night, after everyone went to bed, I sneaked out of bed, took my longest, cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel (壁炉). Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character. Gazing at the sock and imagining the delicately-packed gift in it, I couldn’t help giggling (咯咯笑). For the first time, I found it hard to fall asleep.
And for the first time, I woke up before everyone else in the early morning. Then I headed straight to the fireplace and was even ready for what to say after seeing the gift. However, what happened next was the least thing I wanted to mention. On the nail was the empty and lonely sock. I was hit with the reality of the empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I tried my best to holdback my tears but failed. Bursting into tears, I quickly took down the sock and stuffed it in the back of a drawer.
Every December since then, the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up, and I would amuse my friends with my poor-little-me story. I had to make it as funny as possible, or else I would cry once again. I didn’t know whether any of my audience ever noticed the sparkling tears hidden in my eyes.
How could I know that Santa was just late Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, I heard a knock on the door when I was watching TV. Unwillingly, I dragged my feet and opened the door.
(1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
(2)如下格式作答。
Outside the door stood an old man with a white beard and a red cap, holding a well-packed box.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Through tear-blurred eyes, I recognized the handwriting on the card.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Outside the door stood an old man with a white beard and a red cap, holding a well-packed box. Wearing a radiant smile, the man reached out his hands, passed the box to me and grinned “Christmas gift for you”. Shocked at the unexpected guest and gift, I was at a loss what to say. The moment he blended into the darkness, I untied the ribbon with heart thumping wildly. Inside the box lay a teddy bear I had longed for with an attached card. Once again, I couldn’t contain my tears.
Through tear-blurred eyes, I recognized the handwriting on the card. It was a friend of mine and I later discovered that the man was her father. She was one of the audience of my sad story. The card read: “Sorry, I’m late. Merry Christmas.” I wiped away tears, held the box tightly and felt a surge of warmth. Christmas memories of this year wouldn’t be a bitter joke. Instead, it was a miracle which witnessed a healed heart. So now I believe Santa is real. This Santa doesn’t come down our chimneys, but lives inside good and thoughtful people who really listen to friends, and then plan deliberate acts of kindness.
