Pandamen, Mur cat, old ladies who argue with each other…These are memes (表情包) we often use. But two young women have turned these fun memes into dance moves. They’ve gained about 800,000 fans and millions of views with their exaggerated (夸张的) and funny performances. Asuan, 26, and Lidawang, 29, were graduate students at Beijing Dance Academy when they first made funny dance videos together in 2020. As Asuan majored in Character Dance in Ballet and European Court Dance (芭蕾性格舞种欧洲宫廷舞) and Lidawang majored in Chinese Classical Dance, they wanted to create something different from the formal stage performances that they had learned in school.
“We gradually found our own styles---funny moves, simple stories and catchy (朗朗上口的) music. Whether the inspiration comes from memes, animation (动画), comics, games or daily life, we take the clips (片段) of young people’s pop culture and recreate them,” said Lidawang.
However, being funny doesn’t mean that they can be messy with their dance moves. Memes grow in popularity because of their expressiveness, and reproducing that expressiveness through dance can be very challenging. It usually takes them one to six months to create a two-minute dance video. To improve their moves, they will record their rehearsals (排练) and then look at their moves over and over. Asuan even made a teaching video for one of their most popular dances---the Yellow Alien---based on a meme which came from the Spanish song Dame Tu Cosita. She figured out the secrets of imitating (模仿) the alien---the relaxed shoulder, the deep squat (深蹲) move and the surprised-but-naive eyes. As many fans send them “homework” videos, their meme dances are becoming new memes themselves too. “The nature of dance is to express and communicate. What we communicate and pass on to others is happiness and entertainment.” said Lidawang.
“We’re happy to call ourselves comedians (喜剧演员) in the world of dance.” added Asuan.
4. Why did Asuan and Lidawang start creating dance videos
A. To promote pop culture. B. To complete their graduate project.
C. To produce something innovative. D. To introduce formal stage performances.
5. What is highly challenging for Asuan and Lidawang
A. Finding the right music. B. Integrating memes into dance videos.
C. Showing meme-like expressiveness. D. Ensuring their dance moves are not messy.
6. What is the main idea of Paragraph3
A. It is difficult to create a dance video.
B. Asuan and Lidawang take their creation seriously.
C. Asuan and Lidawang enjoy watching their own practices.
D. Their dance videos are usually about two minutes long.
7. Which of the following best describes Asuan and Lidawang’s videos
A. Dramatic and informative. B. Emotional and touching.
C. Educational and serious. D. Entertaining and original.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了两位北京舞蹈学院的研究生将有趣的表情包变成了舞蹈动作。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As Asuan majored in Character Dance in Ballet and European Court Dance and Lidawang majored in Chinese Classical Dance, they wanted to create something different from the formal stage performances that they had learned in school.(Asuan主修芭蕾舞中的人物舞蹈和欧洲宫廷舞蹈,Lidawang主修中国古典舞,他们想创造一些不同于他们在学校学到的正式舞台表演)”可知,Asuan和Lidawang开始制作舞蹈视频是为了创造一些创新的东西。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Memes grow in popularity because of their expressiveness, and reproducing that expressiveness through dance can be very challenging.(表情包因其表现力而越来越受欢迎,而通过舞蹈再现这种表现力是非常具有挑战性的)”可知,对于Asuan和Lidawang来说,最大的挑战是表现出表情包般的表现力。故选C项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“It usually takes them one to six months to create a two-minute dance video. To improve their moves, they will record their rehearsals (排练) and then look at their moves over and over. Asuan even made a teaching video for one of their most popular dances---the Yellow Alien---based on a meme which came from the Spanish song Dame Tu Cosita. She figured out the secrets of imitating (模仿) the alien---the relaxed shoulder, the deep squat (深蹲) move and the surprised-but-naive eyes. As many fans send them “homework” videos, their meme dances are becoming new memes themselves too. “The nature of dance is to express and communicate. What we communicate and pass on to others is happiness and entertainment.” said Lidawang.(制作一个两分钟的舞蹈视频通常需要一到六个月的时间。为了提高他们的动作,他们会记录下他们的排练,然后一遍又一遍地看他们的动作。Asuan甚至根据西班牙歌曲Dame Tu Cosita的梗,为他们最受欢迎的舞蹈之一“黄色外星人”制作了一个教学视频。她找到了模仿外星人的秘密——放松的肩膀,深蹲的动作,惊讶而又天真的眼神。随着许多粉丝给她们发送“家庭作业”视频,她们的表情包舞蹈也成为了新的表情包。“舞蹈的本质是表达和交流。我们传递给别人的是快乐和娱乐。”Lidawang说)”可知,本段主要讲述了Asuan和Lidawang制作一个两分钟的舞蹈视频通常需要一到六个月的时间,不断的练习,所以是她们认真对待他们的创作。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““We gradually found our own styles---funny moves, simple stories and catchy (朗朗上口的) music. Whether the inspiration comes from memes, animation (动画), comics, games or daily life, we take the clips (片段) of young people’s pop culture and recreate them,” said Lidawang.(“我们逐渐找到了自己的风格——有趣的动作、简单的故事和朗朗上口的音乐。无论灵感是来自表情包、动画、漫画、游戏还是日常生活,我们都将年轻人的流行文化片段进行再创作。”李大旺说道)”可知,她们的视频是她们自己创作的,根据最后一段““We’re happy to call ourselves comedians (喜剧演员) in the world of dance.” added Asuan.(“在舞蹈界,我们很高兴称自己为喜剧演员。”阿苏安补充说)”可知,她们的视频是娱乐性的,所以Asuan和lidawwang的视频是娱乐性和原创性的。故选D项。
C
I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other — but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.
8. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first
A. Paul Newman wanted it.
B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.
C. He wasn’t famous enough.
D. The director recommended someone else.
9. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship
A. They were of the same age.
B. They worked in the same theater.
C. They were both good actors.
D. They han similar charactertics.
10. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Their belief.
B. Their care for children.
C. Their success.
D. Their support for each other.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the test
A. To show his love of films.
B. To remember a friend.
C. To introduce a new movie.
D. To share his acting experience.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者与Paul Newman之间的深厚友情。当制片人不想让我参演电影时,Paul Newman站出来为我说话,两人因此而建立了深厚的友谊。在此后的很多年里,两人一直相互扶持,相互鼓励,因此两人的深厚友情维系了很多年。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”制片人不想要我,他想要当时比较出名的演员Paul,因此,可知作者当时还不是很有名。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core (核心)of our relationship off the screen”可知,作者与Paul之间有着相似的性格特征,这让他们的友谊天长地久。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back”,我们都有这个信仰:如果你有幸获得成功,你应该有所回馈。下文“he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival”是作者举的例子,因此“sharing that brought us together.”that指代前面提到的信仰。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it”可知Paul已经去世了,再结合前文“I first met Paul Newman in 1968”,可推断作者写文章是为了怀念这位朋友。故选B。
【点睛】在完成推理题时,要特别注意排除干扰项。
如小题1中的A项“Paul Newman wanted it.”属于“颠倒黑白”类干扰项,根据“When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”可知制片人不想要我,他想要当时比较出名的演员Paul,说明A项明显错误。
干扰项的设置方法除了“颠倒黑白”之外,通常还有以下几种方式:
1. 张冠李戴。命题者把文章作者的观点与他人的观点混淆起来,题干问的是作者的观点,选项中出现的却是他人的观点;或者题干问的是他人的观点,却把作者的观点放到选项中去。
2. 偷梁换柱。干扰项用了与原文相似的句型结构和大部分相似的词汇,却在不易引人注意的地方换了几个词汇,造成句意的改变。
3. 无中生有。干扰项往往是生活的基本常识和普遍接受的观点,但在原文中并无相关的信息支持点,这种选项的设置往往与问题的设问毫不相干。
4. 以偏概全。考生在做猜测文章中心思想、给文章添加标题或判断推理题时,往往会犯以偏概全的错误。产生这类错误的原因是考生受思维定势的影响或考虑不周,以局部代替整体。其具体表现为合理关联与不合理关联、准确概括与不准确概括之间的错位。不合理关联就是表层理解与深层理解相混淆。表层理解是对文章中客观事实的感知和记忆,往往是文章直接表述的结论;深层理解则是对文章中的客观事实进行逻辑推理、总结或概括后得出的结论。不准确概括是指不能准确地按题目要求概括或提取文中的表层或深层信息。

After waking up, you may feel upset that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help.
Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans (扫描) reported Science magazine.
The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) (磁共振现象).
The Al then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the FMRI data --- when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.
Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解读) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality.
12. What is Stable Diffusion mean to do
A. Scan people’s brains. B. Turn texts into images.
C. Use brain scans to rebuild images. D. Record relevant experimental data.
13. How did the Al learn about the participants’ brain activities
A. By analyzing changes in blood flow. B. By asking the participants questions.
C. By comparing different brain scans. D. By referring to previous Al models.
14. What does Ariel Goldstein say about the technology
A. It has been adopted in many countries. B. Its development is far from satisfactory.
C. It is lacking in convincing evidence. D. Its application has a great prospect.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. AI knows brain scan data of participants.
B. AI leams the reaction of human brains.
C. AI changes text into images with the help of FMRI.
D. AI uses brain scans to re-create images people see.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统,该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描结果重建图像。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans (扫描) reported Science magazine.(据《科学》杂志报道,这一次,来自日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统,该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描结果重建图像)”可知,Stable Diffusion可以根据人们的脑部扫描结果重建图像。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The Al then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the FMRI data --- when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.(然后,人工智能通过分析FMRI数据显示的血流变化来了解大脑活动——当大脑的一部分被激活时,更多的血液会流向它。然后将大脑活动与照片进行匹配。通过这种方法,人工智能了解了人类大脑在看到不同照片时的反应)”可知,人工智能通过通过分析血流的变化来了解参与者的大脑活动的。故选A项。
14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解读) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality.(美国普林斯顿大学的阿里尔·戈尔茨坦在接受《科学》杂志采访时表示,这项新研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来“破译大脑”的新方法。在未来,科学家们希望这项技术可以用来记录想象中的想法和梦想,或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的感知有多么不同)”可知,阿里尔·戈尔茨坦认为这项技术有很广阔的应用前景。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据根据第二段“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans (扫描) reported Science magazine.(据《科学》杂志报道,这一次,来自日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统,该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描结果重建图像)”纵观全文可知,本段主要讲述了一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统,该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描结果重建图像,所以D项“AI uses brain scans to re-create images people see.(人工智能通过脑部扫描来重建人们看到的图像)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。

A Bowl of Noodles
Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of he scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man,
“Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. Jenny thanked the man and started to gobblle (狼吞虎咽) up the delicious food...then cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was moved by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so mean and cruel!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times that she has cooked for you Have you expressed your thanks to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.

Pandamen, Mur cat, old ladies who argue with each other…These are memes (表情包) we often use. But two young women have turned these fun memes into dance moves. They’ve gained about 800,000 fans and millions of views with their exaggerated (夸张的) and funny performances. Asuan, 26, and Lidawang, 29, were graduate students at Beijing Dance Academy when they first made funny dance videos together in 2020. As Asuan majored in Character Dance in Ballet and European Court Dance (芭蕾性格舞种欧洲宫廷舞) and Lidawang majored in Chinese Classical Dance, they wanted to create something different from the formal stage performances that they had learned in school.
“We gradually found our own styles---funny moves, simple stories and catchy (朗朗上口的) music. Whether the inspiration comes from memes, animation (动画), comics, games or daily life, we take the clips (片段) of young people’s pop culture and recreate them,” said Lidawang.
However, being funny doesn’t mean that they can be messy with their dance moves. Memes grow in popularity because of their expressiveness, and reproducing that expressiveness through dance can be very challenging. It usually takes them one to six months to create a two-minute dance video. To improve their moves, they will record their rehearsals (排练) and then look at their moves over and over. Asuan even made a teaching video for one of their most popular dances---the Yellow Alien---based on a meme which came from the Spanish song Dame Tu Cosita. She figured out the secrets of imitating (模仿) the alien---the relaxed shoulder, the deep squat (深蹲) move and the surprised-but-naive eyes. As many fans send them “homework” videos, their meme dances are becoming new memes themselves too. “The nature of dance is to express and communicate. What we communicate and pass on to others is happiness and entertainment.” said Lidawang.
“We’re happy to call ourselves comedians (喜剧演员) in the world of dance.” added Asuan.
4. Why did Asuan and Lidawang start creating dance videos
A. To promote pop culture. B. To complete their graduate project.
C. To produce something innovative. D. To introduce formal stage performances.
5. What is highly challenging for Asuan and Lidawang
A. Finding the right music. B. Integrating memes into dance videos.
C. Showing meme-like expressiveness. D. Ensuring their dance moves are not messy.
6. What is the main idea of Paragraph3
A. It is difficult to create a dance video.
B. Asuan and Lidawang take their creation seriously.
C. Asuan and Lidawang enjoy watching their own practices.
D. Their dance videos are usually about two minutes long.
7. Which of the following best describes Asuan and Lidawang’s videos
A. Dramatic and informative. B. Emotional and touching.
C. Educational and serious. D. Entertaining and original.

I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other — but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.
8. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first
A. Paul Newman wanted it.
B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.
C. He wasn’t famous enough.
D. The director recommended someone else.
9. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship
A. They were of the same age.
B. They worked in the same theater.
C. They were both good actors.
D. They han similar charactertics.
10. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Their belief.
B. Their care for children.
C. Their success.
D. Their support for each other.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the test
A. To show his love of films.
B. To remember a friend.
C. To introduce a new movie.
D. To share his acting experience.
D
After waking up, you may feel upset that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help.
Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans (扫描) reported Science magazine.
The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) (磁共振现象).
The Al then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the FMRI data --- when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.
Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解读) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality.
12. What is Stable Diffusion mean to do
A. Scan people’s brains. B. Turn texts into images.
C. Use brain scans to rebuild images. D. Record relevant experimental data.
13. How did the Al learn about the participants’ brain activities
A. By analyzing changes in blood flow. B. By asking the participants questions.
C. By comparing different brain scans. D. By referring to previous Al models.
14. What does Ariel Goldstein say about the technology
A. It has been adopted in many countries. B. Its development is far from satisfactory.
C. It is lacking in convincing evidence. D. Its application has a great prospect.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. AI knows brain scan data of participants.
B. AI leams the reaction of human brains.
C. AI changes text into images with the help of FMRI.
D. AI uses brain scans to re-create images people see.

A Bowl of Noodles
Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of he scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man,
“Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. Jenny thanked the man and started to gobblle (狼吞虎咽) up the delicious food...then cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was moved by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so mean and cruel!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times that she has cooked for you Have you expressed your thanks to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
