第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，共34分）
第一节（共12小题；每小题2分，共14分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
One part f the ath (誓言) taken by physicians requires us t “remember that there is art t medicine, and that warmth, sympathy and understanding may utweigh the surgen’s knife r the chemist’s drug.” When I, alng with my medical schl class, recited that ath at my white cat ceremny a year ag, I admit that I was mre fcused n the bimedical aspects than the “art”.
Actually, medical prfessinals can get t easily caught up in treating t remember there is still space fr healing. As dctrs learn t cmmunicate with patients beynd the limited language f physical indicatrs, drug prtcls (规程) and surgical interventins that may g against healing, they are reaching fr new tls — petry.
One clinical trial studied the effect f music r petry n the pain, depressin, and hpe scres f 65 adult patients under cancer treatment. They fund that bth types f art therapy (疗法) prduced similar imprvements in pain and depressin scres. Only petry, hwever, increased hpe scres, Researchers assumed that petry can break the s-called law f silence, accrding t which talking abut ne’s perceptin f illness is tab (禁忌). After listening t petry, ne participant said, “I feel calmer when I hear thse wrds. They shw me that I’m nt alne.”
Insights like these are already making their way int the clinic. Sarah Friebert runs a care center where children are visited by a writer wh helps them create pems and stries fr publicatin. Enc Elshtain uses petry n the wards t teach children the pwer f self-expressin. He’s fund that many f his patients write haikus abut things like sprts r their favrite stuffed animal, rather than their experience in a hspital bed. Petry, as he said, is a way t bth accept the hspital encunter and escape frm it.
While a pem a day wn’t cure, it might help relieve. I’ve decided that I’ll learn hw t meet my patients beynd the chart dcuments; that I will encurage them t write their wn stries; that I will heal as well es treat. In ther wrds, I’ll hnr each and every wrd in the ath I tk last year.
21．Accrding t the text, the authr is prbably ______.
A．a yung petB．a clinical expert
C．a medical studentD．an experienced physician
22．What insight can we gain frm the clinical trial in paragraph 3?
A．Music wrks better in reducing depressin.B．Petry makes peple pen abut their illness.
C．Patients are likely t lse hpe withut pems.D．Art therapy is the key t cancer treatment.
23．What can we infer abut the authr accrding t the last paragraph?
A．He will change his career path.B．He will well remember the ath.
C．He begins t take his wrk seriusly.D．He has better understd his jb.
24．Where is the text taken frm?
A．A news reprt.B．A research paper.C．A public speech.D．An applicatin letter.
B
In her bk The Life-Changing Magic f Tidying Up, Marie Knd makes the case that decluttering (清理杂物) can dramatically transfrm yur life. Ridding yur spaces f unused and unwanted stuff can make yu happier, mre cnfident and maybe even slimmer.
Judging by the ppularity f her message and methd, Knd’s philsphy satisfies many peple’s need. Yet the evidence backing the benefits f decluttering is mixed.
ne 2013 study fund that rderly spaces prmte healthy chices but als cnventinal thinking, while wrking in a messy r disrganized space prmtes creativity and new ideas. Einstein, famusly, had a very untidy desk and has been quted as saying, “If a cluttered desk is a sign f a cluttered mind, f what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”
Anther study linked physical clutter (杂乱) t lwer levels f life satisfactin. But ne f the authrs f that study says that clutter, rather than a prblem in and f itself, seems t be a symptm f ther prblems, especially unchecked cnsumerism (无节制的消费). “In this sciety f abundance we live in, I think the idea that we have t have mre makes us less satisfied with life,” says Jseph Ferrari, c-authr f the study. “It isn’t abundance that’s the prblem as much as attachment t abundance.”
Other psychlgists say technlgy may als be cntributing t America’s keenness fr rganizatin. The cmplexity and disrderliness f life nline encurages many peple t seek rder in their physical spaces, Dr. Ddgen Magee says. “But then yu find when yur rm r yur inbx is rganized, yur wrld hasn’t stpped being cmplex,” she says. At this pint, many peple decide even mre rganizing is needed, she says. But this can lead t uncntrllable tidying and, unavidably, a sense f failure when yu just can’t keep things as neat and rderly as yu’d like them t be, she explains.
“The mre f a mess ur internal wrld becmes, the mre likely we are t grab nt smething that gives us this sense f peace,” she says. While a little tidying can be a calming distractin, she says, it’s a temprary bandage, nt a cure.
25．What d we knw abut Knd’s philsphy?
A．It’s based n slid evidence.B．It invlves spirit-lifting methds.
C．It’s ppular with many peple.D．It leads peple t recycle unused stuff.
26．What des the example f Einstein serve t shw?
A．An empty desk is a sign f an empty mind.
B．Orderly wrkspaces can bring health benefits.
C．An untidy desk can damage wrking efficiency.
D．Messy envirnments are likely t encurage creativity.
27．What des Jseph Ferrari say abut physical clutter?
A．It determines peple’s life satisfactin.B．It cntributes t unchecked cnsumerism.
C．It reflects peple’s attachment t technlgy.D．It arises frm the desire fr mre pssessins.
28．What can be inferred abut tidying frm the last tw paragraphs?
A．It can lead t a feeling f frustratin.B．It makes peple’s wrld mre cmplex.
C．It can prvide lasting peace f mind.D．It wrks better with the help f technlgy.
C
All human languages use vwels (元音) and cnsnants (辅音) t express ideas. Mst primates cmmunicate almst using vwel-like calls, but nn-human great apes, like chimpanzees, prduce cnsnant-like sunds t varying degrees. This raises the questin f where cnsnants riginated frm, says Adrian Lameira at the University f Warwick. T find it ut, he studied existing literature t see hw cmmn cnsnants are amng the great apes.
He fund that rangutans (红毛猩猩), which spend mst f their time in the trees, prduce a greater number and variety f cnsnant sunds than grillas and chimpanzees living n the grund. “Orangutans have rich sunds like kiss sunds, scrapes and clicks.” says Lameira. They typically use these sunds while building nests r cmmunicating with their yung.
Lameira thinks that living in the trees may explain that Great apes are experts at prcessing prtected fds, like nuts, which ften requires tls. While living in trees, hwever, rangutans must always use at least ne arm t maintain stability. They have therefre develped mre cmplex cntrl f their lips, tngues and jaws, allwing them t use their muths as a “fifth arm” rangutans can peel (剥) ranges just with lips, fr example.
This advanced mtr skill enables rangutans make cnsnant-like sunds, argues Lameira. This culd mean that ur early ancestrs develped cnsnant sunds while hanging arund in the trees, t. “There’s a grwing sense that ur dependency n trees was much heavier than expected,” says Lameira.
The link between feeding and sunds desn’t apply t smaller tree-living primates like mnkeys, argues Lameira, because their size and tails make them mre stable n branches and they eat differently.
“This is an interesting assumptin wrth testing,” says Chris Petkv at Newcastle University, thugh he challenges sme aspects. As humans aren’t tree-living, there must be ther reasns why cnsnants remain, which culd be tested by characterizing cnsnant-like sunds mre systematically acrss species, he says.
29．What des the underlined wrd “it” in paragraph 1 refer t?
A．Why vwels and cnsnants are used.B．What ideas the cnsnants express.
C．Where the cnsnants are traced back.D．Hw cmmn the cnsnants are.
30．What fact can supprt Adrian Lameira’s assumptin abut rangutans?
A．They build nests with their yung.B．They are skilful in emplying tls.
C．They shw stability in cntrlling arms.D．They gain advanced mtr skill f muths.
31．What can we infer frm Adrian Lameira’s findings?
A．Cnsnant sunds were made by ur earliest ancestrs.
B．Our ancestrs cunted mre n trees than thught.
C．The link between feeding and sunds applies t mnkeys.
D．Mnkeys differ frm rangutans in eating habits.
32．What is Chris Petkv’s attitude t Adrian Lameira’s assumptin?
A．Oppsed.B．Puzzled.C．Psitive.D．Cautius.

Mst f us assciate awe (惊叹) with smething rare and beautiful: nature, music r a spiritual experience. But peple can waken awe t, and nt just public heres. Research shws that we can be awed by ur nearest and dearest — the peple sitting next t us n the cuch, chatting n the ther end f the phne, lking back at us ver Zm (云视频会议软件). 33
Often, interpersnal awe is a respnse t life’s big, sweeping changes, such as witnessing a baby’s first steps. 34 Jhn Bargh said he was “truly awestruck” —by his 5-year-ld daughter while dining in a McDnald’s. When she heard anther child crying, she grabbed the ty frm her Happy Meal, walked ver t the by and handed it t him.
Thugh we can’t make smene else behave in a way that’s awesme, we can prepare urselves t ntice it when they d and bst the emtin’s psitive effects.
Questin yur assumptins. D yu believe yur partner is insensitive r yur brthers and sisters are selfish? There may be a little truth t that, but it’s never the whle tale. 35 T increase yur chances f feeling awed by the ther persn, ask yurself what’s ging n in his r her life that yu dn’t knw abut.
Name awe when yu see it. Speaking ut “Ww, that was awesme!” is a simple way t help yu identify and remember a special experience. Savr (品味) it in the mment and then tell thers abut it. This will enhance yur psitive emtins. 36 Studies shw that yu will feel awe again simply by remembering an awe experience.
37 This makes the ther persn feel gd and can give yur relatinship a bst. And it will help yu t: Studies shw that peple wh practice gratitude have significantly higher levels f happiness and psychlgical well-being.
A．Thank the persn wh awed yu.
B．And recall it r write abut it later.
C．Psychlgists call this interpersnal awe.
D．It’s easy t frget that it can be awesme, t.
E．But interpersnal awe des happen in smaller mments.
F．Here’s why yu shuld recgnize thse mments f interpersnal awe.
G．The stry yu tell yurself gets in the way f catching peple at their best.

Kitty knew this wuld nt be right, s she hurried after the man. She waved her hand and shuted at the tp f her vice, “Sir, yu drpped yur wallet back there.” “Oh! Thank yu!” The man was truly tuched. Nticing hw prly she was dressed, he asked, “Why didn’t yu keep the wallet?” “Because that’d be stealing,” replied Kitty hnestly. “But,” she murmured, “I did wish I culd keep it, fr then I culd buy Mamma a red apple.” Sunk in thught fr a while, the gentleman then prduced ne dllar frm the wallet and handed it t her, “Keep it, my dear.” Kitty was grateful t the gentleman and felt like dreaming.

If yu’re anything like me, then yur favrite fds are the sweet nes. But d yu knw that these fds have a culture as rich as their tastes? In ancient civilizatins, sweets were special because they were nly given t the mst imprtant peple. Dried fruits and hney were amng the first things used t sweeten meals. The sweet fds were nt able t spread arund until the “sugarcane” began t be develped in India. Once peple fund.a way t transprt sugar easily, they were able t bring it t ther cuntries.

阅读理解详解
A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章属于一篇演讲稿，记录了作者通过实际的工作经验和研究经历明白到诗歌对于治疗疾病的重要作用，并坚定自己的从医之路。
21．细节理解题。根据第一段中“One part f the ath (誓言) taken by physicians requires us t “remember that there is art t medicine, and that warmth, sympathy and understanding may utweigh the surgen’s knife r the chemist’s drug.”（医生宣誓的一部分要求我们“记住，医学是艺术，温暖、同情和理解可能比外科医生的刀或化学家的药更重要。”）”以及后文的“When I, alng with my medical schl class, recited that ath at my white cat ceremny a year ag.（一年前，当我和医学院的同学们一起，在我的白大褂典礼上，背诵了这个誓言。）”可知，作者的身份是一名学医的学生。故选C。
22．推理判断题。根据第三段中“They fund that bth types f art therapy (疗法) prduced similar imprvements in pain and depressin scres. Only petry, hwever, increased hpe scres.（他们发现，这两种艺术疗法对疼痛和抑郁评分的改善程度相似。然而，只有诗歌提高了希望分数。）”可知，在临床试验的研究中，诗歌对于疼痛和抑郁有着改善作用，即诗歌使人们对自己的疾病敞开心扉。故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I, alng with my medical schl class, recited that ath at my white cat ceremny a year ag, I admit that I was mre fcused n the bimedical aspects than the “art”.（一年前，当我和医学院的同学们一起在毕业典礼上宣读这一誓言时，我承认我更关注生物医学方面。而不是“艺术”。）”可知，此时的作者并没有明白诗歌朗诵在治疗方面起到的积极作用，同时根据最后一段中“While a pem a day wn’t cure, it might help relieve.（虽然每天一首诗不能治愈疾病，但它可能有助于缓解压力。）”可知，此时作者通过临床的实验以及研究最终明白了诗歌是能够有助于缓解压力的，即更加了解自己的工作。故选D。
24．推理判断题。通读全文，文章讲述的是作者通过实际的工作经验和研究经历明白到诗歌对于治疗疾病的重要作用。同时根据最后一段“I’ve decided that I’ll learn hw t meet my patients beynd the chart dcuments; that Fill encurage them t write their wn stries; that I will heal as well as treat In ther wrds, I’ll hnr each and every wrd in the ath I tk last year.（我决定学习如何在病历文件之外与病人见面；菲尔鼓励他们写自己的故事；我既能治疗，也能治愈换句话说，我将信守我去年宣誓的每一个字。）”可知，文章结尾处作者表达了自己对工作的忠贞和坚持，既鼓励了自己也鼓励了他人。由此推断文章出自于一篇演讲稿。故选C。
B
【导语】本文是一篇说理文。文章介绍了虽然很多人追求通过整理来改变生活，但相关研究表明整理实际上有好有坏，有序的空间能促进健康的选择，但也可能会限制创造性的思维，杂乱反映了人们对于富足的依恋的问题，但是整理不能从根本上解决人们内心世界的混乱。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Judging by the ppularity f her message and methd, Knd’s philsphy satisfies many peple’s need.（从她的想法和方法的受欢迎程度来看，Knd的哲学满足了许多人的需求。）”可知，Knd的哲学受到很多人的欢迎。故选C项。“Yet the evidence backing the benefits f decluttering is mixed.”说明支持清理杂物有益处的观点却是复杂、矛盾的。所以A项中确凿的证据不相符。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段“One 2013 study fund that rderly spaces prmte healthy chices but als cnventinal thinking, while wrking in a messy r disrganized space prmtes creativity and new ideas. Einstein, famusly, had a very untidy desk and has been quted as saying, “If a cluttered desk is a sign f a cluttered mind, f what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”（2013年的一项研究发现，有序的空间会促进健康的选择，但也会促进传统思维，而在凌乱或杂乱无章的空间中工作，则会促进创造力和新想法。众所周知，爱因斯坦有一张非常凌乱的桌子，有人引用他的话说：“如果凌乱的桌子是凌乱的大脑的标志，那么空桌子是什么标志呢？”）”可推知，这里用桌子凌乱但拥有巨大创造力的爱因斯坦的例子是为了佐证前面的观点：凌乱的环境有可能促进创造力。故选D项。
27．细节理解题。根据第四段中““In this sciety f abundance we live in, I think the idea that we have t have mre makes us less satisfied with life,” says Jseph Ferrari, cauthr f the study. “It isn’t abundance that’s the prblem as much as attachment t abundance.”（该研究的共同作者Jseph Ferrari说：“在我们生活的这个富足的社会里，我认为我们必须拥有更多的想法会让我们对生活不满意。问题不在于富足，而在于对富足的依恋。”）”可知，Jseph Ferrari认为物理上的杂乱源于人们内心对于富足的依恋，人们渴望拥有更多东西。故选D项。
28．推理判断题。根据最后两段，尤其是倒数第二段中“But this can lead t uncntrllable tidying and, unavidably, a sense f failure when yu just can’t keep things as neat and rderly as yu’d like them, t be, she explains.（但这可能会导致不可控制的整理，当你不能像你希望的那样保持东西整洁有序时，不可避免地会有一种失败感，她解释说。）”可知，科技给世界增加的复杂和无序会引起人们渴望整理，让自己的世界不再复杂，但是这种渴望太过强烈的时候反而容易引起失落，因为有时候事与愿违。由此可知，整理可能会导致挫败感。故选A项。
C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究者发现大部分时间生活在树上的猩猩比生活在地面上的大猩猩和黑猩猩发出的辅音数量和种类都要多。
29．词句猜测题。根据第一段的“This raises the questin f where cnsnants riginated frm（这就提出了辅音从何而来的问题）”和“he studied existing literature t see hw cmmn cnsnants are amng the great apes（他研究了现存的文献，想看看类人猿的辅音有多普）”可知，Adrian Lameira是为了发现辅音从何而来，it指的是“辅音的来源”，故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段的“While living in trees, hwever, rangutans must always use at least ne arm t maintain stability. They have therefre develped mre cmplex cntrl f their lips, tngues and jaws, allwing them t use their muths as a “fifth arm” rangutans can peel ranges just with lips, fr example.（然而，当生活在树上时，猩猩必须至少使用一只手臂来保持稳定。因此，它们已经发展出对嘴唇、舌头和下颚的更复杂的控制，使它们能够把嘴作为“第五肢”来使用，例如，猩猩只用嘴唇就能剥橙子。）”和第四段的“This advanced mtr skill enables rangutans make cnsnant-like sunds, argues Lameira.（拉米拉认为，这种先进的运动技能使猩猩能够发出类似辅音的声音。）可知，支持Adrian Lameira关于猩猩的假设的是他们获得了高级的嘴巴运动技能，故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“This culd mean that ur early ancestrs develped cnsnant sunds while hanging arund in the trees, t. “There’s a grwing sense that ur dependency n trees was much heavier than expected,” says Lameira.（这可能意味着我们的早期祖先在树上闲逛时也学会了辅音。Lameira说：“人们越来越意识到，我们对树木的依赖比预想的要大。”）”可知，我们的祖先比人们想象的更依赖树木，故选B。
32．推理判断题。根据最后一段的““This is an interesting assumptin wrth testing,” says Chris Petkv at Newcastle University, thugh he challenges sme aspects. As humans aren’t tree-living, there must be ther reasns why cnsnants remain, which culd be tested by characterising cnsnant-like sunds mre systematically acrss species, he says.（“这是一个值得检验的有趣假设，”Newcastle大学的Chris Petkv说，尽管他对某些方面提出了质疑。他说，由于人类不是在树上生活的，所以辅音保留下来一定有其他原因，这可以通过在不同物种之间更系统地描述类似辅音的声音来验证。）”可知，Chris Petkv对Adrian Lameira的假设的态度是谨慎的，故选D。

When she heard anther child crying, she grabbed the ty frm her Happy Meal, walked ver t the by and handed it t him.（Jhn Bargh说，在麦当劳吃饭时，他真的被5岁的女儿震惊了”。当她听到另一个孩子在哭时，她从她的开心乐园餐中抓起玩具，走到男孩面前递给他。）可知，本段在举例说明人际惊叹，前文是大的例子，后文是小的例子，空处需提出人际惊叹可能很小，从而过渡到后文。E项“但人与人之间的惊叹确实发生在更小的时刻。”符合语境。故选E。

36．根据前文“Name awe when yu see it.（当你看到惊叹的时候，表达出来。）”、“Savr (品味) it in the mment and then tell thers abut it.（在那一刻品味它，然后告诉别人。）”和后文“Studies shw that yu will feel awe again simply by remembering an awe experience.（研究表明，只要回忆起惊叹的经历，你就会再次感到惊叹。）可知，本段讨论积极地表达、回味、体验惊叹，空处需承接前文的这两个建议，进步讨 论如何对待惊叹的感受，呼应后文的回忆。B项“然后回忆一下或者写下来。”符合语境，其中的“recall”和后文的“remembering”呼应。故选B。

完形原文：
Washingtn - Anna Prillaman was cleaning the attic f her hme in Richmnd, Virginia, when she sptted a small dr.
She had never seen it befre because it had been cvered by a dresser. She pened it, and, t her surprise, it led t a part f her attic she never knew existed.
She peered int the dusty space. “I saw a bunch f junk,” said Prillaman, 40, wh lives with her rescue dg, Alfie.
Clser inspectin unearthed tw bxes filed t the brim with letters - mst f which were handwritten in the 1950s. Many f them started the same way: “Hi hney.”
The letters were addressed t a Betty McGhee. Many were written by several friends and suitrs, but there were dzens penned by a man named Vance Lng.
Once she realised the persnal nature f the Dtes, Prillaman, wh has lived in her hme since 2017, was hesitant t pry. “I fund it t intrusive,” said Prillaman, the directr f athletics at a schl.
She did, hwever, decide that the mements wuld likely be meaningful t smene else.
The small dr Prillaman fund in her attic. It was previusly cvered by a dresser that she recently mved. Anna Prillaman.
“It was clear that I needed t find the family and get them back t them,” Prillaman said. That evening, she slicited the help f internet sleuths by psting abut her pignant find n Facebk. Instantly “everyne put n their Sherlck Hlmes bat and gave me names left and right”.
“Even if the tw writing ne anther are n lnger with us, I’d lve t find the family t pass them n,” Prillaman wrte. “I knw I’d cherish these if these were my grandparents crrespnding.”
She was verwhelmed by the respnse, especially frm strangers wh saw the pst and started searching. It shwed that “peple care abut human cnnectins”, Prillaman said.
Befre lng, ne persn psted: “I spke t her grandsn!” and sent a direct message cntaining Daltn Lng’s cntact infrmatin. Prillaman prmptly reached ut. Within half-an-hur, Daltn, 30, replied: “I wuld lve t have the letters.”
A family phtgraph f the Lngs with their grandsn Daltn at the age f 8.
Thrugh cnnecting with Daltn, Pillaman learned mre infrmatin abut the wman t whm the letters were addressed, as well as her wuld-be husband, Vance Lng. “I gt really excited,” she said.
Daltn was elated - and grateful - t bear frm Pillman: “She has been a ttal jy thrugh this, and I really appreciate it.”
His grandparents, Betty McGbee Lng and Vance Lng, met at Jhn Marshall High Schl in Richmnd, married in 1955 and had ne sn tgether, as well as tw grandsns, Daltn and Bdhie Lng-bth f whm Dw live in Prtland, Oregn.

AN undated family phtgraph f Vance Lng and Betty McGhee Lng.
When she became critically ill later, her husband std by her side: “A lt f my later memries are f my grandfather being there while she battled cancer,” Daltn said. “They always seemed clse.”
The Lng brthers said their grandfather dted n their grandmther. After she died, Vance gt his first and nly tatt: a cartn f Betty Bp. He did it “t always keep her with him,” Daltn said “I knw that be missed her s much after she passed."
Three years later, in July 2009, Vance died. He was an avid athlete, his grandchildren said, and spent a few years playing minr league baseball until be was drafted int the military. After serving in the army fr tw years, be went n t becme the administrative directr fr the Virginia Department f Health.
Grwing up, Betty (wh smetimes as Betty Sue) lived in Prillaman’s current huse with her family, and the hme was subsequently passed t Daltn’s father, Randy Lng. Like their grandmther, Daltn and his brther, Bdhie, 23, grew up in that huse. Betty and Vance mved t anther huse n the same street.
“The fact that we didn’t find them befre Anna was kind f crazy,” Bdhie said f the letters. “They were just sitting in ur attic the entire time we were grwing up and we had n idea.”
The Lng brthers were clse with their paternal grandparents - whm they called “B” and “Pp” - mainly because “they lived five drs dwn,” Bdhie said: “Our grandparents were a huge influence in ur lives. We were arund them as much as we were arund ur parents.”
Still, they knew little abut bw their grandparents’ relatinship started, as they nly witnessed the final 15 years f their marriage, which spanned half-a-century.
“As I age, I have a newfund appreciatin fr recgnising that my grandparents and the elders in my family have led cmplete and full lives that I will never fully understand r really knw abut,” said Daltn. “T be able t get a better glimpse int them, I think that’s rally interesting.”
That’s why Pillaman was adamant abut reuniting the family with the lng-lst heirlms. “Mst f us dn’t knw the curtship stry f ur grandparents. It’s just nt infrmatin we’re privy t,” she said.
The unexpected letter discvery is even mre meaningful, the brthers explained, because their father died tw years ag. “It’s really exciting t be able t recnnect with that side f the family,” said Daltn, wh plans t frame sme f the ntes.
If their grandparents knew they were reading their ld lve litters, “I think my grandfather wuld be tickled, and my grandmther wuld prbably be a little mrtified,” Daltn said.
Althugh the brthers have yet t see all the letters, their mther - wh still lives part-time in Richmnd - picked them up frm Prillaman, and passed alng a few phts t her sns.
“I’m s dam tired and can hardly hld my eyes pen, but maybe I can last lng enugh t scribble dwn a few lines t the sweetest girl in the wrld,” ne letter read.
“I d lve yu, Hney, with all my heart,” Vance wrte in anther litter. “I am just waiting until I can bld yu clse again and have that wnderful feeling f walking n a clud return.
“I miss yu smething awful, Betty,” the nte cntinued. “All my lve, Vance.”
Prillaman said she felt permitted t peck at sme f the swn-wrthy litters after she cnnected with the cuple’s family. “Me and my sisters had sme wine, and we dve in,” said Prillaman, adding that the letters were thughtful and had impeccable grammar. “His penmanship is beautiful,” she said.
Fr Prillaman, uncvering the keepsakes has reinfrced the true value f litter-writing. “I think I’ll definitely put pen t paper mre.”
The Lng brthers agreed. “Our grandfather sat dwn with time and intentin and fcus and pured his heart ut,” Daltn said. “I think we shuld all d mre f that
“T me they were ‘B’ and Pp,” Lng reprtedly said. “But t the rest f the wrld they were Betty McGbee Lng and Vance Herschel Lng. … T add wrds t that time in their life is ging t be incredible.”tarn dwnbe cmpsed ftake verturn ut
