Standing on the shore of a lake, I can't help but marvel at the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time.
And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks?
Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1, 000 years ago. And much like a rock, I've found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.
Once, I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I'm less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.
But I'm not a rock. I'm a human being filled with all the drama built into my DNA.
Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask several people to leave for not wearing masks. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don't like it either, but let's all do what we can to get through this together.”
The group of young men wished to argue about the note.
I sat watching, understanding both sides. I've been those guys before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow from experiences by looking through the eyes of others. In learning to be more open, I've also found more happiness and success.
You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others.
Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another's point of view.
I placed a rounded stone into my jacket pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again.
24. What does the author compare the rocks to?
A. People's abilities. B. People's personalities.
C. What nature offers us. D. Challenges we come across.
25. Why did the group of guys argue in the restaurant?
A. They were dissatisfied with the owner's attitude to them.
B. They were unwilling to do what the owner wished them to.
C. They intended to skip out on the bill due to the poor service.
D. They were not allowed to leave the restaurant for their rudeness.
26. What does the author want to tell us with this text?
A. We should adjust to new conditions.
B. Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life.
C. It's necessary to consider the feelings of others.
D. Being open and understanding brings you more happiness.
27. What might be the best title of the text?
A. Changing with Time B. Learning from Nature
C. Growing from Experiences D. Seeing from a Different Angle
C
After graduating from Chongqing City Management College, Tan Minyan from Chongqing decided to become a cemetery custodian（守墓人）.
“With four colleagues, I don't need to worry about any complicated relationships,” the 22-year-old shared on her Sina Weibo. “Moreover, my office, dormitory and canteen are in the same building, the pace of work is slow and I almost feel as if I have retired early.”
Her decision has caused heated discussion on social media in November about how young people nowadays can deal with social anxiety and benefit from genuine interpersonal relationships.
According to the survey conducted in 2021 by China Youth Daily, more than 80 percent of the nearly 5, 000 college students questioned said they had mild social anxiety disorder. The disorder surfaces most frequently when speaking in front of large groups, communicating with strangers and asking for favors.
Cheng Qiang, who works for a media group in Beijing, is one of them. The 29-year-old told China Daily he started having social anxiety disorder in middle school.
To avoid contact with coworkers, Cheng often wore a mask even when going to the toilet or kitchen so he would encounter fewer people.
“The disorder becomes more severe when I am around people who know me but are not close,” he told China Daily. “Their attention makes me nervous, and I don't know how to respond.”
Wang Wenda, a psychology lecturer at Ningxia University's Xinhua College, found that most of the people who suffer from social anxiety are introverted, lack confidence or social skills, or have suffered traumatic(造成创伤的)interpersonal relationships.
He also believes that the disorder is not trivial. It may lead to panic attacks and other psychological problems as a result of a lack of contact with other people.
According to China Daily, Wang's suggested solution was as follows: “People with social anxiety disorder should go out and expose themselves to more social gatherings and practice their social skills, adding that through greater social experience and small successes in social encounters, they will reap the benefits of having a real social life and come to enjoy positive interpersonal relations.”
28. Why is Tan Minyan's experience mentioned at the beginning of the text?
A. To suggest an alternative career path.
B. To lead up to the topic of social anxiety.
C. To illustrate what young people value in their work.
D. To present people's attitudes toward her profession.
29. What do we know about people with social anxiety disorder?
A. They are unwilling to help others.
B. They find it hard to do everyday tasks.
C. They feel uneasy when asking for favors.
D. They always feel anxious in public places.
30. What does the underlined word “trivial” in the second-to-last paragraph most probably mean?
A. Urgent. B. Influential. C. Unimportant. D. Complicated.
31. What does Wang suggest people with social anxiety disorder do?
A. Join a social anxiety support group. B. Go outside to relax themselves.
C. Seek help from a professional. D. Engage in more social activities.
D
Photosynthesis(光合作用)is a unique skill of green plants-they turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and food via sunlight. A group of Chinese scientists, however, “copied”the process on animals.
To understand the new breakthrough, it is important to know how photosynthesis works. Plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose(葡萄糖). The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air and stores energy within the glucose molecules.
In the study, the researchers from Zhejiang University developed an independent and controllable photosynthetic system, according to the study published in Nature in early December. They separated thylakoids, a part of the cell where light reactions take place in plants, from young spinach(菠菜) leaves. The scientists then wrapped the thylakoids with the cover of animal cells, which made the implanted thylakoids more acceptable to foreign bodies. The mice used in the study were suffering from arthritis(关节炎), meaning cells in their cartilage had degenerated and could not be repaired by themselves. With the thylakoids implanted into the mice and exposed to light, the mice recovered. Their metabolism(新陈代谢)returned to normal.
In arthritis, the patients usually have energy loss since fewer energy-carrying molecules are generated. The implant, however, can correct the imbalance by storing more energy via photosynthesis.
The researchers also claimed that their tests would have medical usage. It can be used as part of the solution for degenerative diseases because the natural photosynthesis system may repair cells. It may also delay the aging process in cells.
The study showed “an exciting achievement that opens up possibilities of metabolism engineering” commented one of the paper's reviewers Francisco Cejudo from the University of Seville in Spain, reported Xinhua.
32. Why does the author mention the way photosynthesis works in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain to us the definition of photosynthesis.
B. To prove plants' ability to release the oxygen back into the air.
C. To show us how plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen.
D. To help us understand how scientists apply the principle to animals.
33. Why did researchers cover thylakoids with animal cells?
A. To lead to light reactions. B. To provide them with nutrition.
C. To prevent them from degeneration. D. To help them work better in foreign bodies.
34. How will the implant help patients with arthritis?
A. By repairing a broken metabolism. B. By getting rid of degenerated cells.
C. By helping maintain energy balance. D. By offering energy-carrying molecules.
35. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A. Suggestions for future studies. B. The significance of the study.
C. The limitations of the study. D. Other findings of the study.

This holiday, I decided to go to Paris. My flight was at 6 in the morning, and I barely slept the night before. Instead, I was checking my luggage again and again, worrying about whether I had brought everything. My mom drove me to the airport at 3 am. 36 I took a deep breath and walked into the terminal.
Then I got onto the plane. When I smelled the fuel of the airplane and fastened my seat belt, all of my memories of traveling came flooding back. After the initial excitement, I then started figuring out how I could kill the 22 hours ahead. The seats next to me were empty, so I removed the armrest and lay down. I now had a couch on the plane! 37
What about the 15 hours left? 38 Luckily, I soon discovered a better way: onboard Wi-Fi. It was not cheap, but I would then get access to the internet. 39 It was a wise choice. The minute I logged into the Wi-Fi, messages started popping up. I texted back my friends, scrolled through my social media and read articles on my phone. 40 Also, access to the internet gave me a feeling that I was still on the ground with my friends.
At last, I survived the 22-hour flight, landed in Paris and started my exciting trip!
A. I decided to take a nap first.
B. Then, I was completely on my own.
C. After that, I was no longer discouraged.
D. I hesitated fora bit, but then I went ahead and bought it.
E. Those things killed time about as effectively as possible.
F. I felt so comfortable that I slept for seven hours in total during the flight.
G. Watching some episodes would be fun, but I might get bored watching an entire season straight.

I was 52 glad I was awake to hear this little slice of nature.
The next morning, my 53 talked about how a bear had visited in the night and 54 some of their chairs and a small table.

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。
Pam Bales left her car and stepped onto the snow-covered Jewell Trail. She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire's Mount Washington State Park. The hike up the lower part of Jewell was pleasant. At 8:30 am, still below the tree line, she took the first in a series of on-the-trail selfies.
Less than1 an hour later, she took another photo, after she'd climbed into colder air and deeper snows. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge toward Mount Washington. Then she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her. She'd been following faint tracks all day and hadn't given them much thought, because so many people climb Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of trainers, not suitable for hiking on snow.
By 11 am, Bales was getting cold and decided to abandon her plan. The only thing keeping Bales on Gulfside Trail was the trainer tracks in the snow. As she fought the wind and heavy sleet(雨夹雪), the tracks made a hard left-hand turn off the trail. Now she felt alarmed. She was sure the hiker could get through in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness. Bales stood there, stunned. The temperature and clouds were in a race to find their lowest point, and darkness was mere hours away. She turned to the left and called out, “Hello!” into the frozen fog.
Nothing. She called out again: “Is anybody out there? Do you need help?”
The strong westerly winds carried her voice away. She blew into her rescue whistle. For a fleeting moment she thought she heard someone reply, but it was just the wind playing games with her mind. She stood listening, then turned and walked cautiously in the direction of the single set of tracks. Bales followed the tracks cautiously for 20 to 30 meters. She rounded a slight corner and saw a man sitting motionless.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When she approached him and said hello, he did not react.
After waking the man up, Bales recognized that they had to get out of there soon.

Dear schoolmates,
With the adjustments of the anti-pandemic policy, more and more people around us have caught the virus. Faced with the risk of being affected, we students should respond actively to the appeal from the authority and experts.
First of all, stay at home and don’t go out if not necessary. In addition, do wear masks while in the open air, which can reduce the chance of contracting the virus. Washing hands as often as possible is needed, too. More importantly, we ought to take a positive attitude to the campaign with the disease.
Let’s work hand in hand to overcome anxiety and do our bits.
The Students’ Union

When she approached him and said hello, he did not react. Taking a deep breath, Bales got closer, checked his pulse and suddenly realized that the man must have passed out. She knew she had to wake him up immediately or the dreadful weather could put him in greater danger. Out of her bag, Bales took a carpet to wrap the man, gave some hot water to him, called out repeatedly and shook him hard. Fortunately, it didn’t take long before the man came to himself.
After waking the man up, Bales recognized that they had to get out of there soon. The wind kept howling with the heavy sleet driving fiercely, and even worse, darkness began to fall. Anxious, Bales struggled to help the man up, supporting his weight and inching along the trail, following the tracks left by her hiking boots. After what seemed like ages, they finally made it to the foot of the mountain. The man was rushed to hospital immediately. Exhausted as she was, Bales felt a wave of happiness welled up inside.

W: James, do you have an extra jacket? I can’t believe how cold it is today!

M: Thank you so much. I was afraid I might miss my chemistry class if I couldn’t find it.
W: Do not worry. On my first day here I spent an entire morning looking for the science building. Who is your teacher?
M: It says Professor Sanchez on my schedule. Do you know him?
W: Yes, I had him for Biology. He is great! You are lucky you did not get Professor Oliver! He gives so much homework. My sister had him and she almost failed another class because of all the extra work. She was sad the whole semester.
M: Wow, I am really lucky then. I am taking five other classes this semester. I would hate to have one class ruin the others.
W: Good luc
M: Thank you for your help!

W: Excuse me. You should not park your nice new car there.
M: Why? The sign says that only the yellow painted sidewalk edges are no parking zones.
W: Yes, that is true. The edge was actually painted, but it has faded after years of wear.
M: But then how could they ticket my car if it is not properly marked?
W: I am sure you could argue that in court, but they will write a ticket. I work there and have seen them do it just the other day. Plus, you have a nice vehicle and it will attract attention.
M: There is nowhere else to park though. Finding a spot close to the library during rush hour never happens. I will only be gone for ten minutes anyway.
W: If I were you, I would not risk it.
M: I just have to run inside and return a book. I think I can make it back before the police will even see my car.
W: I just thought you should know you might get a fine.
M: Thank you. I appreciate it.
W: Good luck. You will only have yourself to blame if you return and get a fine.

So it’s so good to have all the extended family back together again. Our day of fun begins tomorrow. I have a few announcements to make. First, unlike the fall events, in the summer we can always expect a bit of rain in the afternoon, and unlike our winter parties we’ll have more sunlight later in the day. To prepare for this, bring a jacket, and remember: don’t rush our activities because we’ll have plenty of time to finish everything later in the day. Last time we had a bit of problem with people forgetting to clean up. Don’t worry about packing up the tables and recycling as we always have groups of people ready to do these tasks, but please take care of your trash! For our activities we won’t have the same football game as last year because the field area is now covered in last night’s heavy rain, instead after the volleyball game we will divide all the families into teams for a badminton tournament. At the request of almost everyone, we will not order pizza again for lunch and we will not make everyone prepare their own lunches, instead we have spaghetti and meatballs that we’ve prepared specially for the family!

Standing on the shore of a lake, I can't help but marvel at the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time.
And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks?
Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1, 000 years ago. And much like a rock, I've found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.
Once, I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I'm less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.
But I'm not a rock. I'm a human being filled with all the drama built into my DNA.
Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask several people to leave for not wearing masks. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don't like it either, but let's all do what we can to get through this together.”
The group of young men wished to argue about the note.
I sat watching, understanding both sides. I've been those guys before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow from experiences by looking through the eyes of others. In learning to be more open, I've also found more happiness and success.
You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others.
Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another's point of view.
I placed a rounded stone into my jacket pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again.
24. What does the author compare the rocks to?
A. People's abilities. B. People's personalities.
C. What nature offers us. D. Challenges we come across.
25. Why did the group of guys argue in the restaurant?
A. They were dissatisfied with the owner's attitude to them.
B. They were unwilling to do what the owner wished them to.
C. They intended to skip out on the bill due to the poor service.
D. They were not allowed to leave the restaurant for their rudeness.
26. What does the author want to tell us with this text?
A. We should adjust to new conditions.
B. Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life.
C. It's necessary to consider the feelings of others.
D. Being open and understanding brings you more happiness.
27. What might be the best title of the text?
A. Changing with Time B. Learning from Nature
C. Growing from Experiences D. Seeing from a Different Angle
C
After graduating from Chongqing City Management College, Tan Minyan from Chongqing decided to become a cemetery custodian（守墓人）.
“With four colleagues, I don't need to worry about any complicated relationships,” the 22-year-old shared on her Sina Weibo. “Moreover, my office, dormitory and canteen are in the same building, the pace of work is slow and I almost feel as if I have retired early.”
Her decision has caused heated discussion on social media in November about how young people nowadays can deal with social anxiety and benefit from genuine interpersonal relationships.
According to the survey conducted in 2021 by China Youth Daily, more than 80 percent of the nearly 5, 000 college students questioned said they had mild social anxiety disorder. The disorder surfaces most frequently when speaking in front of large groups, communicating with strangers and asking for favors.
Cheng Qiang, who works for a media group in Beijing, is one of them. The 29-year-old told China Daily he started having social anxiety disorder in middle school.
To avoid contact with coworkers, Cheng often wore a mask even when going to the toilet or kitchen so he would encounter fewer people.
“The disorder becomes more severe when I am around people who know me but are not close,” he told China Daily. “Their attention makes me nervous, and I don't know how to respond.”
Wang Wenda, a psychology lecturer at Ningxia University's Xinhua College, found that most of the people who suffer from social anxiety are introverted, lack confidence or social skills, or have suffered traumatic(造成创伤的)interpersonal relationships.
He also believes that the disorder is not trivial. It may lead to panic attacks and other psychological problems as a result of a lack of contact with other people.
According to China Daily, Wang's suggested solution was as follows: “People with social anxiety disorder should go out and expose themselves to more social gatherings and practice their social skills, adding that through greater social experience and small successes in social encounters, they will reap the benefits of having a real social life and come to enjoy positive interpersonal relations.”
28. Why is Tan Minyan's experience mentioned at the beginning of the text?
A. To suggest an alternative career path.
B. To lead up to the topic of social anxiety.
C. To illustrate what young people value in their work.
D. To present people's attitudes toward her profession.
29. What do we know about people with social anxiety disorder?
A. They are unwilling to help others.
B. They find it hard to do everyday tasks.
C. They feel uneasy when asking for favors.
D. They always feel anxious in public places.
30. What does the underlined word “trivial” in the second-to-last paragraph most probably mean?
A. Urgent. B. Influential. C. Unimportant. D. Complicated.
31. What does Wang suggest people with social anxiety disorder do?
A. Join a social anxiety support group. B. Go outside to relax themselves.
C. Seek help from a professional. D. Engage in more social activities.
D
Photosynthesis(光合作用)is a unique skill of green plants-they turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and food via sunlight. A group of Chinese scientists, however, “copied”the process on animals.
To understand the new breakthrough, it is important to know how photosynthesis works. Plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose(葡萄糖). The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air and stores energy within the glucose molecules.
In the study, the researchers from Zhejiang University developed an independent and controllable photosynthetic system, according to the study published in Nature in early December. They separated thylakoids, a part of the cell where light reactions take place in plants, from young spinach(菠菜) leaves. The scientists then wrapped the thylakoids with the cover of animal cells, which made the implanted thylakoids more acceptable to foreign bodies. The mice used in the study were suffering from arthritis(关节炎), meaning cells in their cartilage had degenerated and could not be repaired by themselves. With the thylakoids implanted into the mice and exposed to light, the mice recovered. Their metabolism(新陈代谢)returned to normal.
In arthritis, the patients usually have energy loss since fewer energy-carrying molecules are generated. The implant, however, can correct the imbalance by storing more energy via photosynthesis.
The researchers also claimed that their tests would have medical usage. It can be used as part of the solution for degenerative diseases because the natural photosynthesis system may repair cells. It may also delay the aging process in cells.
The study showed “an exciting achievement that opens up possibilities of metabolism engineering” commented one of the paper's reviewers Francisco Cejudo from the University of Seville in Spain, reported Xinhua.
32. Why does the author mention the way photosynthesis works in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain to us the definition of photosynthesis.
B. To prove plants' ability to release the oxygen back into the air.
C. To show us how plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen.
D. To help us understand how scientists apply the principle to animals.
33. Why did researchers cover thylakoids with animal cells?
A. To lead to light reactions. B. To provide them with nutrition.
C. To prevent them from degeneration. D. To help them work better in foreign bodies.
34. How will the implant help patients with arthritis?
A. By repairing a broken metabolism. B. By getting rid of degenerated cells.
C. By helping maintain energy balance. D. By offering energy-carrying molecules.
35. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A. Suggestions for future studies. B. The significance of the study.
C. The limitations of the study. D. Other findings of the study.

This holiday, I decided to go to Paris. My flight was at 6 in the morning, and I barely slept the night before. Instead, I was checking my luggage again and again, worrying about whether I had brought everything. My mom drove me to the airport at 3 am. 36 I took a deep breath and walked into the terminal.
Then I got onto the plane. When I smelled the fuel of the airplane and fastened my seat belt, all of my memories of traveling came flooding back. After the initial excitement, I then started figuring out how I could kill the 22 hours ahead. The seats next to me were empty, so I removed the armrest and lay down. I now had a couch on the plane! 37
What about the 15 hours left? 38 Luckily, I soon discovered a better way: onboard Wi-Fi. It was not cheap, but I would then get access to the internet. 39 It was a wise choice. The minute I logged into the Wi-Fi, messages started popping up. I texted back my friends, scrolled through my social media and read articles on my phone. 40 Also, access to the internet gave me a feeling that I was still on the ground with my friends.
At last, I survived the 22-hour flight, landed in Paris and started my exciting trip!
A. I decided to take a nap first.
B. Then, I was completely on my own.
C. After that, I was no longer discouraged.
D. I hesitated fora bit, but then I went ahead and bought it.
E. Those things killed time about as effectively as possible.
F. I felt so comfortable that I slept for seven hours in total during the flight.
G. Watching some episodes would be fun, but I might get bored watching an entire season straight.

I didn't think it was a good idea to go out and look at the 51 after all. As I lay there, I heard wolves in the distance and an owl calling. I was 52 glad I was awake to hear this little slice of nature.
The next morning, my 53 talked about how a bear had visited in the night and 54 some of their chairs and a small table.
While I was 55 at not seeing the shooting stars, I'm now a lot more confident about camping by myself. Bear or no bear.

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。
Pam Bales left her car and stepped onto the snow-covered Jewell Trail. She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire's Mount Washington State Park. The hike up the lower part of Jewell was pleasant. At 8:30 am, still below the tree line, she took the first in a series of on-the-trail selfies.
Less than1 an hour later, she took another photo, after she'd climbed into colder air and deeper snows. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge toward Mount Washington. Then she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her. She'd been following faint tracks all day and hadn't given them much thought, because so many people climb Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of trainers, not suitable for hiking on snow.
By 11 am, Bales was getting cold and decided to abandon her plan. The only thing keeping Bales on Gulfside Trail was the trainer tracks in the snow. As she fought the wind and heavy sleet(雨夹雪), the tracks made a hard left-hand turn off the trail. Now she felt alarmed. She was sure the hiker could get through in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness. Bales stood there, stunned. The temperature and clouds were in a race to find their lowest point, and darkness was mere hours away. She turned to the left and called out, “Hello!” into the frozen fog.
Nothing. She called out again: “Is anybody out there? Do you need help?”
The strong westerly winds carried her voice away. She blew into her rescue whistle. For a fleeting moment she thought she heard someone reply, but it was just the wind playing games with her mind. She stood listening, then turned and walked cautiously in the direction of the single set of tracks. Bales followed the tracks cautiously for 20 to 30 meters. She rounded a slight corner and saw a man sitting motionless.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When she approached him and said hello, he did not react.
After waking the man up, Bales recognized that they had to get out of there soon.

Dear schoolmates,
With the adjustments of the anti-pandemic policy, more and more people around us have caught the virus. Faced with the risk of being affected, we students should respond actively to the appeal from the authority and experts.
First of all, stay at home and don’t go out if not necessary. In addition, do wear masks while in the open air, which can reduce the chance of contracting the virus. Washing hands as often as possible is needed, too. More importantly, we ought to take a positive attitude to the campaign with the disease.
Let’s work hand in hand to overcome anxiety and do our bits.
The Students’ Union

When she approached him and said hello, he did not react. Taking a deep breath, Bales got closer, checked his pulse and suddenly realized that the man must have passed out. She knew she had to wake him up immediately or the dreadful weather could put him in greater danger. Out of her bag, Bales took a carpet to wrap the man, gave some hot water to him, called out repeatedly and shook him hard. Fortunately, it didn’t take long before the man came to himself.
After waking the man up, Bales recognized that they had to get out of there soon. The wind kept howling with the heavy sleet driving fiercely, and even worse, darkness began to fall. Anxious, Bales struggled to help the man up, supporting his weight and inching along the trail, following the tracks left by her hiking boots. After what seemed like ages, they finally made it to the foot of the mountain. The man was rushed to hospital immediately. Exhausted as she was, Bales felt a wave of happiness welled up inside.

W: Excuse me. You should not park your nice new car there.
M: Why? The sign says that only the yellow painted sidewalk edges are no parking zones.
W: Yes, that is true. The edge was actually painted, but it has faded after years of wear.
M: But then how could they ticket my car if it is not properly marked?
W: I am sure you could argue that in court, but they will write a ticket. I work there and have seen them do it just the other day. Plus, you have a nice vehicle and it will attract attention.
M: There is nowhere else to park though. Finding a spot close to the library during rush hour never happens. I will only be gone for ten minutes anyway.
W: If I were you, I would not risk it.
M: I just have to run inside and return a book. I think I can make it back before the police will even see my car.
W: I just thought you should know you might get a fine.
M: Thank you. I appreciate it.
W: Good luck. You will only have yourself to blame if you return and get a fine.

So it’s so good to have all the extended family back together again. Our day of fun begins tomorrow. I have a few announcements to make. First, unlike the fall events, in the summer we can always expect a bit of rain in the afternoon, and unlike our winter parties we’ll have more sunlight later in the day. To prepare for this, bring a jacket, and remember: don’t rush our activities because we’ll have plenty of time to finish everything later in the day. Last time we had a bit of problem with people forgetting to clean up. Don’t worry about packing up the tables and recycling as we always have groups of people ready to do these tasks, but please take care of your trash! For our activities we won’t have the same football game as last year because the field area is now covered in last night’s heavy rain, instead after the volleyball game we will divide all the families into teams for a badminton tournament. At the request of almost everyone, we will not order pizza again for lunch and we will not make everyone prepare their own lunches, instead we have spaghetti and meatballs that we’ve prepared specially for the family!
