Even nw, I have vivid memries f my last dan f high schl. In my mind's eye, I'm cleaning ut my lcker, and then staring at the emptiness fr a few extra beats befre slamming it shut fr the last time. I'm raming the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignring the bells ging ff every 50 minutes n schedule because, just tday, we're allwed t break the rules. I'm sitting n my desk, swinging my feet, and shting the breeze（闲聊） with my Englısh teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almst grwn up.
It was maybe my favrite day f the whle year Like the final layer f waterclr, the freedm and lightness I feel seeps（渗透） int the rest f my memries f that day and turns them just a shade rsier.
If the schl year hasn't yet ended fr yu, cnsider what yu can d t make the final e cunt. Why? Because when it cmes t human memry, nt all mments are created equal. Instead, ur remembered experiences are disprprtinately（不成比例地） influenced by peaks (the best mments as well as the wrst) and endings (the last mments) Nbel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, wh discvered this phenmenn, called this the ·peak-end rale. It suggests that ur judgment f a past experience is largely based n its mst extreme pint and its endpint.
I tk advantage f the peak-end rule years ag, when my girls were yung enugh t want a bedtime stry each night. I remember thinking that whatever/strife（冲突） and stress had ccurred that day, I culd make the last mments cunt. I culd end n a nte f calm and act like. the patient mm I hadn't quite managed t be just hurs befre.
Dn't mistake all mments as equal in significance. There's a reasn why yga classes end with savasana（挺卧式）. There's a reasn we eat dessert last. D rchestrate（精心安排） endings. As Seattle Seahawks cach Pete Carrll might say: Finish strng. Last impressins are especially lasting.
24. What des the underlined wrd in paragraph I mean?
A. Calmly. B. Surprisingly. C. Happily. D. Curiusly.
25. Which statement is true abut the peak-end rule?
A. Peaks in life can be remembered better than endings.
B. The last mments matter the mst in ur memries.
C. Our judgment f the past is determined by first impressins.
D. The peaks and ends f experiences are easier. t remember.
26. What des the furth paragragh talk abut?
A. Hw the authr applied the rule t daily life. B. Hw the authr treated her daughters.
C. What struggis the authr had in life. D. /NN the authr read stries t her kids.
27. Why is Pete Carrll mentined in the last paragraph?
A. T prve the peak-end rule can be used t sprts.
B. T encurage readers t value the last mments f an experience.
C. T explain why last impressins are lasting.
D. T shw the imprtance f ding sprts.

Bth ants and human beings respnd t islatin in similar ways. In islated individuals f bth species, researchers have bserved that the immune system is less efficient.
Humans and ther scial mammals will experience high levels f stress when they are islated frm the grup, which has a negative effect n bth well-being and physical health. Islated peple tend t becme anxius. depressed, lnely. and mre subject t addictins. They will als have a weaker immune system, and the islatin will impact their health negatively verall. While these effects have been well studied in humans and mice, relatively little is knwn abut hw islatin affects scial insects.
Ants are extremely scial. They will live their entire lives as part f the same clny （群体） and their survival will be entirely dependent n their nest mates. This scial functin is s imprtant t them that wrker ants will abandn. their reprductive capacity and devte themselves t tending t the needs f the queen and the clny.
Researchers paid attentin t ants f the Temnt hrax nylanderi, which is a Eurpean species that will create clnies inside acrns（橡实） and sticks. These clnies cnsist f a few dzen wrkers, and the researchers tk individual members and islated them fr varius perids f time, frm an hur t 28 days. The study revealed three key aspects f the effects f islatin.
When the islated wrkers were returned t the clny, they shwed less interest in ther adult ants, and instead chse t spend mre time with the brd（幼雏）. They were als less interested in cleaning themselves, which is a behavir nticed in mst scial animals that are islated. This behavir increased the risk f parasite（寄生虫） infectins. the third bservatin was related t the gene activity f the islated individuals —genes that were respnsible fr stress respnse and immune system functin were less active Once again, this is smething bserved acrss all scial animals. What this research tells us is that scial behavir is smething extremely ancient and it culd be traced back t a very ld cmmn ancestr between animal and insect species.
28. Hw are humans influenced by islatin accrding t the researchers?
A. Their scial cities shrinks quickly.
B. They are mre likely t get int addictins.
C. Their immune system has been strengthened.
D. They are quicker t respnd t stressful situatins.
29. What characterizes the site f ants in a clny?
A. They remain devted t their nest mates.
B. They are in a cnstant state f mental stress.
C. They are equally respnsible fr their clny
D. They rely much n each ther in rder t survive.
30. What did the wrker ants turn their attentin t after islatin?
A. The queen ant. B. Their nest mates. C The baby antsD. Their whle clny.
31 Which f can best serve as the title fr the passage?
A. Scial Islatin Affects Animals Negatively.
B. Islatin Changes the Immune System f Ants.
C. Ants React t Scial Islatin Similar t Humans.
D. Animal and Insect Species Share the Same Ancestr.

Ariel Prcaccia has thught a nt abut hw t ut a cake ver the last 15 years. As the father f three children, he knws hw hard it is t divide a birthday cake t everyne's satisfactin. But it's als because Prcaccia's wrk fcuses n explring the mathematical rules fr dividing stuff up fairly. One way t d that is t think abstractly abut dessert.
Fr decades, researchers have been asking, the seemingly simple questin f hw t cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beynd birthday parties. A mathematical prblem at its heart, cake cutting cnnects strict reasning t real-wrld issues f fairness, and s attracts nt nly mathematicians, but als scial scientists, ecnmists and mre. "It's a very elegant mdel in which yu can distill what fairness really is, and reasn abut it," Prcaccia says.
The simplest apprach is called the "divider-chser" methd, where ne persn cuts the cake int tw equal pieces in his view, and the ther persn picks first. Bach receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the ther's. But when persnal preferences are taken int accunt, even the easiest rule becmes cmplicated. Suppse Alice and Bb are t divide a cake, and Alice knws Bb prefers chclate, she may knwingly divide the cake unequally s the smaller piece cntains mre chclate. Then Bb will chse accrding t his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Bth f them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning f fairness changes in this situatin.
The cake is a symbl fr any divisible gd. When cake-cutting principles are emplyed t settling disagreements, they are ptentially helping the wrld find slutins. Prcaccia has used fair divisin algrithms（算法） t mdel fd distributin. Scial scientist Hand Aziz is explring situatins ranging frm hw t divide up daily tasks t hw t best schedule dctrs' shift s in hspitals.
Even after decades f investigatin, cake cutting isn't like a simple jigsaw puzzle （拼图） with a well-defined slutin. Instead, ver time, it has evlved int a kind f mathematical sandbx, a cnstructive playgrund that brings tgether abstract prfs and easy applicatins. The mre researchers explre it, the mre there is t explre.
32 What des the underlined wrd "distill" in paragraph 2mean?
A. Get the essence f. B. Find the ppsite f. C. Keep the fcus n. D Reduce the impact n.
33. What can we learn abut fairness frm the example given in paragraph 3?
A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal divisin.
C. Its cncept is cmplex. D. It dminates persnal preferences.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut cncerning cake cutting?
A. The applicatin f its rules B. The details f its prcess.
C. The prblems it prduces. D. The harmny it symblizes.
35. What is the best title fr the text/
A. Wh benefits mst frm fairness?
B. Hw has fairness changed ver time?
C. What methd wrks best in cake-cutting?
D. Why are researchers s interested in cake-cutting?

Reading is an exercise fr the mind. It is gd fr ur vcabulary and literacy skills, teaching us math r science cncepts and helping us learn histry. Apart frm thse, reading has anther benefit. Have yu read a stry and felt tears well up because f a character's suffering? If s, that is because yu have empathy（共憐） fr the character. 36
Research shws that human brains react different t stries and facts. 37 In additin, yur brain think s yu are in the stry, which means yu experience the characters' thughts as if they were real.
38 This skill, called emtinal intelligence (EI), can make it easier t cmmunicate and cnnect with peple. Research shws that building this intelligence can lead t greater tlerance. One study fund that peple wh read the Harry Ptter nvels, which tell stries abut humans fighting against the evil, were less likely t behave unfairly twards pwerless grups including refugees（难民）.
This thery f EI has been put int practice in schls. After reading The By at the Back f the Class, a stry abut a by wh is a refugee escaping frm the war, students in St Michael's High Schl were inspired t d a 10-mile walk fr the nn-prfit rganizatin—Refugee Actin. 39
40 Nt nly are we mre likely t engage in helpful behavirs when we feel empathy fr ther peple, but thers are als mre likely t help us when they experience empathy. Fr sciety t develp, cmmunicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
A. In a way, all this increases ur ability t read well.
B. This permits peple t limit their emtins that thers are feeling.
C. Many mre areas f yur brain light up when yu're enjying a stry.
D. It als stimulated them t raise £1,000 fr the hmeless caused by war.
E. Reading encurages us t empathize with thers, which culd be beneficial.
F. Empathy helps yu t read peple's emtins and wrk ut the best way t respnd.
G. It helps yu see int ther peple's hearts and can be learned thrugh varius stries.

I std in the restaurant kitchen, my eyes wide, arms hanging awkwardly, ready t wrk but unsure f what t d. "Yu will be trained first," my manager Aarn said, "and d remember t check every detail!" With these wrds, he walked away.
A wrkmate threw me a dish brush and said, "Let's get started." He intrduced me t the basics f washing dishes and demnstrated the prcess. This was the beginning f my part-time jb, a new stage where I was bth eager t learn and anxius abut the challenges ahead.
On a Friday night, Aarn swiftly entered the kitchen. "Wh has just bused（收拾） the back right table?" he shuted, his vice sharp with urgency. My hands, slippery with bubbles frm the bwl I was washing, nearly let it slip thrugh my fingers. I wanted t say I was guilty, but Aarn's cld stare didn't prmise a happy reward fr the guy wh admitted. Finally, a mix f fear and my wn cnscience pushed the respnse ut f my muth. "I did, Aarn."
"What were yu thinking? Get back ut here and lk at what yu missed!" His wrds frced me frward. I grabbed a rag（抹布） and fllwed him ut t table twenty-tw. As we made ur way thrugh the restaurant, he said smething abut rags, but I didn't hear clearly with ther cnversatins ging n arund us.
I quickly realized the true issue was the mess beneath the table. A nearly full cup f beer had tipped ver, creating a small lake n the flr. It was a significant mistake n my part. "Take care f it!" Aarn turned and strmed ff t the frnt f the restaurant. I drpped dwn t clean up the beer. That was when anther prblem ccurred. I had brught nly ne rag. One already wet rag. It did nthing but increase the size f the lake. "Mre rags," I thught. Immediately, I rushed int the kitchen and hurriedly grabbed five dry rags, hping Aarn wuldn't ntice my brief absence.

Dear Victr,
I hpe this letter finds yu in a better state f health. Upn hearing f yur illness, I am really cncerned and send yu my best wishes fr a speedy recvery. I think it might cheer yu up a little t knw the updates here at schl.
In yur absence, the schl has been buzzing with activities. Last week witnessed a wnderful exhibitin f traditinal Chinese painting bth by teachers and students in the schl's gallery. Sme f the paintings are f exceptinal beauty and quality. I fund myself particularly drawn t relaxing landscape paintings, which temprarily freed me frm the daily rutines.
Hpefully yu can make it t the ne-mnth exhibitin after yur recvery. Take care f yurself and get better.
I had just rushed ut when I fund Aarn standing in my way. "What's up?" he asked sharply, his eyes fixed n me. Feeling the weight f my mistake, I stammered nervusly, "I need dry rags…t…clean." Upn hearing this, Aarn let ut a heavy sigh. "Yu shuld have checked every detail," he remarked, a hint f disappintment in his vice. "This jb isn't just abut reacting, it's als abut being careful. Nw, g clean that up!" Aviding his gaze, I dashed twards table twenty-tw. With an ample supply f rags, I threw myself int the task, tirelessly mpping scrubbing, and wiping.
After cleaning up the mess, I reflected n Aarn's wrds. They were sharp but abslutely right. My inexperience and initial anxiety in this new jb had led me t verlk crucial details, and I shuld have been mre mindful f my wrk, Taking a deep breath, I returned t my duties, bearing Aarn's wrds in mind. With every dish washed and every table cleared, I made sure t duble-check my wrk. Everything went well and sn I realized this carefulness wuld nt just apply t cleaning; it wuld als influence every aspect f my jb, preparing me t embrace any challenge with respnsibility and cnfidence.

Sme peple cllect fine paintings, and thers cllect rare cins. But I cllect cmics.
I first began cllecting cmics when I was abut seven years ld. I remember my father buying me ne in a htel in
Africa. He tld me it was the same cmic he used t read when he was a little by. I remember reading it that afternn n a ht and sweaty bus, and I lved every page f it. Frm then n, whenever we stpped at twn, he wuld buy me a cmic. They were ften cartn-type cmics with funny characters and silly stries. But be wuld als buy me cmics abut brave sldiers at war, r pilts f planes. They were all very exciting and they pened up my imaginatin.
As I grw lder, my taste in cmics becmes different. I still lve the cartn and the sldier nes, but I als begin reading superher cmics t. Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man are my particular favrites, and I enjy anything t d with space r time travel.
Tday, my lve fr cmics is as strng as ever, even thugh I am 47! It has t be — I sell them fr a living nw! I. pened a cmic bkstre a few years ag.

Even nw, I have vivid memries f my last dan f high schl. In my mind's eye, I'm cleaning ut my lcker, and then staring at the emptiness fr a few extra beats befre slamming it shut fr the last time. I'm raming the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignring the bells ging ff every 50 minutes n schedule because, just tday, we're allwed t break the rules. I'm sitting n my desk, swinging my feet, and shting the breeze（闲聊） with my Englısh teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almst grwn up.
It was maybe my favrite day f the whle year Like the final layer f waterclr, the freedm and lightness I feel seeps（渗透） int the rest f my memries f that day and turns them just a shade rsier.
If the schl year hasn't yet ended fr yu, cnsider what yu can d t make the final e cunt. Why? Because when it cmes t human memry, nt all mments are created equal. Instead, ur remembered experiences are disprprtinately（不成比例地） influenced by peaks (the best mments as well as the wrst) and endings (the last mments) Nbel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, wh discvered this phenmenn, called this the ·peak-end rale. It suggests that ur judgment f a past experience is largely based n its mst extreme pint and its endpint.
I tk advantage f the peak-end rule years ag, when my girls were yung enugh t want a bedtime stry each night. I remember thinking that whatever/strife（冲突） and stress had ccurred that day, I culd make the last mments cunt. I culd end n a nte f calm and act like. the patient mm I hadn't quite managed t be just hurs befre.
Dn't mistake all mments as equal in significance. There's a reasn why yga classes end with savasana（挺卧式）. There's a reasn we eat dessert last. D rchestrate（精心安排） endings. As Seattle Seahawks cach Pete Carrll might say: Finish strng. Last impressins are especially lasting.
24. What des the underlined wrd in paragraph I mean?
A. Calmly. B. Surprisingly. C. Happily. D. Curiusly.
25. Which statement is true abut the peak-end rule?
A. Peaks in life can be remembered better than endings.
B. The last mments matter the mst in ur memries.
C. Our judgment f the past is determined by first impressins.
D. The peaks and ends f experiences are easier. t remember.
26. What des the furth paragragh talk abut?
A. Hw the authr applied the rule t daily life. B. Hw the authr treated her daughters.
C. What struggis the authr had in life. D. /NN the authr read stries t her kids.
27. Why is Pete Carrll mentined in the last paragraph?
A. T prve the peak-end rule can be used t sprts.
B. T encurage readers t value the last mments f an experience.
C. T explain why last impressins are lasting.
D. T shw the imprtance f ding sprts.

Bth ants and human beings respnd t islatin in similar ways. In islated individuals f bth species, researchers have bserved that the immune system is less efficient.
Humans and ther scial mammals will experience high levels f stress when they are islated frm the grup, which has a negative effect n bth well-being and physical health. Islated peple tend t becme anxius. depressed, lnely. and mre subject t addictins. They will als have a weaker immune system, and the islatin will impact their health negatively verall. While these effects have been well studied in humans and mice, relatively little is knwn abut hw islatin affects scial insects.
Ants are extremely scial. They will live their entire lives as part f the same clny （群体） and their survival will be entirely dependent n their nest mates. This scial functin is s imprtant t them that wrker ants will abandn. their reprductive capacity and devte themselves t tending t the needs f the queen and the clny.
Researchers paid attentin t ants f the Temnt hrax nylanderi, which is a Eurpean species that will create clnies inside acrns（橡实） and sticks. These clnies cnsist f a few dzen wrkers, and the researchers tk individual members and islated them fr varius perids f time, frm an hur t 28 days. The study revealed three key aspects f the effects f islatin.
When the islated wrkers were returned t the clny, they shwed less interest in ther adult ants, and instead chse t spend mre time with the brd（幼雏）. They were als less interested in cleaning themselves, which is a behavir nticed in mst scial animals that are islated. This behavir increased the risk f parasite（寄生虫） infectins. the third bservatin was related t the gene activity f the islated individuals —genes that were respnsible fr stress respnse and immune system functin were less active Once again, this is smething bserved acrss all scial animals. What this research tells us is that scial behavir is smething extremely ancient and it culd be traced back t a very ld cmmn ancestr between animal and insect species.
28. Hw are humans influenced by islatin accrding t the researchers?
A. Their scial cities shrinks quickly.
B. They are mre likely t get int addictins.
C. Their immune system has been strengthened.
D. They are quicker t respnd t stressful situatins.
29. What characterizes the site f ants in a clny?
A. They remain devted t their nest mates.
B. They are in a cnstant state f mental stress.
C. They are equally respnsible fr their clny
D. They rely much n each ther in rder t survive.
30. What did the wrker ants turn their attentin t after islatin?
A. The queen ant. B. Their nest mates. C The baby antsD. Their whle clny.
31 Which f can best serve as the title fr the passage?
A. Scial Islatin Affects Animals Negatively.
B. Islatin Changes the Immune System f Ants.
C. Ants React t Scial Islatin Similar t Humans.
D. Animal and Insect Species Share the Same Ancestr.

Ariel Prcaccia has thught a nt abut hw t ut a cake ver the last 15 years. As the father f three children, he knws hw hard it is t divide a birthday cake t everyne's satisfactin. But it's als because Prcaccia's wrk fcuses n explring the mathematical rules fr dividing stuff up fairly. One way t d that is t think abstractly abut dessert.
Fr decades, researchers have been asking, the seemingly simple questin f hw t cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beynd birthday parties. A mathematical prblem at its heart, cake cutting cnnects strict reasning t real-wrld issues f fairness, and s attracts nt nly mathematicians, but als scial scientists, ecnmists and mre. "It's a very elegant mdel in which yu can distill what fairness really is, and reasn abut it," Prcaccia says.
The simplest apprach is called the "divider-chser" methd, where ne persn cuts the cake int tw equal pieces in his view, and the ther persn picks first. Bach receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the ther's. But when persnal preferences are taken int accunt, even the easiest rule becmes cmplicated. Suppse Alice and Bb are t divide a cake, and Alice knws Bb prefers chclate, she may knwingly divide the cake unequally s the smaller piece cntains mre chclate. Then Bb will chse accrding t his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Bth f them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning f fairness changes in this situatin.
The cake is a symbl fr any divisible gd. When cake-cutting principles are emplyed t settling disagreements, they are ptentially helping the wrld find slutins. Prcaccia has used fair divisin algrithms（算法） t mdel fd distributin. Scial scientist Hand Aziz is explring situatins ranging frm hw t divide up daily tasks t hw t best schedule dctrs' shift s in hspitals.
Even after decades f investigatin, cake cutting isn't like a simple jigsaw puzzle （拼图） with a well-defined slutin. Instead, ver time, it has evlved int a kind f mathematical sandbx, a cnstructive playgrund that brings tgether abstract prfs and easy applicatins. The mre researchers explre it, the mre there is t explre.
32 What des the underlined wrd "distill" in paragraph 2mean?
A. Get the essence f. B. Find the ppsite f. C. Keep the fcus n. D Reduce the impact n.
33. What can we learn abut fairness frm the example given in paragraph 3?
A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal divisin.
C. Its cncept is cmplex. D. It dminates persnal preferences.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut cncerning cake cutting?
A. The applicatin f its rules B. The details f its prcess.
C. The prblems it prduces. D. The harmny it symblizes.
35. What is the best title fr the text/
A. Wh benefits mst frm fairness?
B. Hw has fairness changed ver time?
C. What methd wrks best in cake-cutting?
D. Why are researchers s interested in cake-cutting?

Reading is an exercise fr the mind. It is gd fr ur vcabulary and literacy skills, teaching us math r science cncepts and helping us learn histry. Apart frm thse, reading has anther benefit. Have yu read a stry and felt tears well up because f a character's suffering? If s, that is because yu have empathy（共憐） fr the character. 36
Research shws that human brains react different t stries and facts. 37 In additin, yur brain think s yu are in the stry, which means yu experience the characters' thughts as if they were real.
38 This skill, called emtinal intelligence (EI), can make it easier t cmmunicate and cnnect with peple. Research shws that building this intelligence can lead t greater tlerance. One study fund that peple wh read the Harry Ptter nvels, which tell stries abut humans fighting against the evil, were less likely t behave unfairly twards pwerless grups including refugees（难民）.
This thery f EI has been put int practice in schls. After reading The By at the Back f the Class, a stry abut a by wh is a refugee escaping frm the war, students in St Michael's High Schl were inspired t d a 10-mile walk fr the nn-prfit rganizatin—Refugee Actin. 39
40 Nt nly are we mre likely t engage in helpful behavirs when we feel empathy fr ther peple, but thers are als mre likely t help us when they experience empathy. Fr sciety t develp, cmmunicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
A. In a way, all this increases ur ability t read well.
B. This permits peple t limit their emtins that thers are feeling.
C. Many mre areas f yur brain light up when yu're enjying a stry.
D. It als stimulated them t raise £1,000 fr the hmeless caused by war.
E. Reading encurages us t empathize with thers, which culd be beneficial.
F. Empathy helps yu t read peple's emtins and wrk ut the best way t respnd.
G. It helps yu see int ther peple's hearts and can be learned thrugh varius stries.

I std in the restaurant kitchen, my eyes wide, arms hanging awkwardly, ready t wrk but unsure f what t d. "Yu will be trained first," my manager Aarn said, "and d remember t check every detail!" With these wrds, he walked away.
A wrkmate threw me a dish brush and said, "Let's get started." He intrduced me t the basics f washing dishes and demnstrated the prcess. This was the beginning f my part-time jb, a new stage where I was bth eager t learn and anxius abut the challenges ahead.
On a Friday night, Aarn swiftly entered the kitchen. "Wh has just bused（收拾） the back right table?" he shuted, his vice sharp with urgency. My hands, slippery with bubbles frm the bwl I was washing, nearly let it slip thrugh my fingers. I wanted t say I was guilty, but Aarn's cld stare didn't prmise a happy reward fr the guy wh admitted. Finally, a mix f fear and my wn cnscience pushed the respnse ut f my muth. "I did, Aarn."
"What were yu thinking? Get back ut here and lk at what yu missed!" His wrds frced me frward. I grabbed a rag（抹布） and fllwed him ut t table twenty-tw. As we made ur way thrugh the restaurant, he said smething abut rags, but I didn't hear clearly with ther cnversatins ging n arund us.
I quickly realized the true issue was the mess beneath the table. A nearly full cup f beer had tipped ver, creating a small lake n the flr. It was a significant mistake n my part. "Take care f it!" Aarn turned and strmed ff t the frnt f the restaurant. I drpped dwn t clean up the beer. That was when anther prblem ccurred. I had brught nly ne rag. One already wet rag. It did nthing but increase the size f the lake. "Mre rags," I thught. Immediately, I rushed int the kitchen and hurriedly grabbed five dry rags, hping Aarn wuldn't ntice my brief absence.

Dear Victr,
I hpe this letter finds yu in a better state f health. Upn hearing f yur illness, I am really cncerned and send yu my best wishes fr a speedy recvery. I think it might cheer yu up a little t knw the updates here at schl.
In yur absence, the schl has been buzzing with activities. Last week witnessed a wnderful exhibitin f traditinal Chinese painting bth by teachers and students in the schl's gallery. Sme f the paintings are f exceptinal beauty and quality. I fund myself particularly drawn t relaxing landscape paintings, which temprarily freed me frm the daily rutines.
Hpefully yu can make it t the ne-mnth exhibitin after yur recvery. Take care f yurself and get better.
I had just rushed ut when I fund Aarn standing in my way. "What's up?" he asked sharply, his eyes fixed n me. Feeling the weight f my mistake, I stammered nervusly, "I need dry rags…t…clean." Upn hearing this, Aarn let ut a heavy sigh. "Yu shuld have checked every detail," he remarked, a hint f disappintment in his vice. "This jb isn't just abut reacting, it's als abut being careful. Nw, g clean that up!" Aviding his gaze, I dashed twards table twenty-tw. With an ample supply f rags, I threw myself int the task, tirelessly mpping scrubbing, and wiping.
After cleaning up the mess, I reflected n Aarn's wrds. They were sharp but abslutely right. My inexperience and initial anxiety in this new jb had led me t verlk crucial details, and I shuld have been mre mindful f my wrk, Taking a deep breath, I returned t my duties, bearing Aarn's wrds in mind. With every dish washed and every table cleared, I made sure t duble-check my wrk. Everything went well and sn I realized this carefulness wuld nt just apply t cleaning; it wuld als influence every aspect f my jb, preparing me t embrace any challenge with respnsibility and cnfidence.
