Ian McKenna was in third grade when he learned that many kids at his Austin school weren’t getting enough to eat at home. He wanted to help, but local volunteer organizations turned him away, saying he was too young. So he decided to find his own solution. For years, he had been-gardening with his mother, and they often sent their vegetables to the neighbors. “I’m good at gardening,” says McKenna, now 16. “Why not plant a garden at school, so that kids in need could take food home ”
McKenna persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden; then he asked the community for donations of seeds and equipment. Other students donated their time. Within months, McKenna’s garden was producing lettuces, tomatoes and cucumbers for students and their families. Now, seven years later, McKenna’s Giving Garden project has expanded to five area schools in addition to his own backyard garden. For most of his gardening activities, McKenna wears the same T-shirt in different colors, with his personal motto on it: BEA GOOD HUMAN. To him, that means helping in any way you can, no matter what your age.
“Even a smile might change someone’s life,” he says. “It lets them know that they are important. It can make their day.”
When COVID-19 hit the U.S., MeKenna redoubled his efforts, cooking up to 100 meals to distribute (配送) to the hungry on the weekends. When social distancing meant that volunteers couldn’t work on community garden, he started offering online classes and a gardening hotline so families could grow at home. While gardening is his core focus, MeKenna says he is always looking for new ways to help the hungry.
4. What caused Ian’s decision to help the kids in his own way
A. Being rejected by volunteer groups. B. Being good at gardening.
C. His school’s support. D. His mother’s suggestions.
5. What do we know about the Giving Garden project
A. It helps students only. B. It was started with many supports.
C. It is funded by schools. D. It earns great profits every year.
6. Which of the following can best describe Ian
A. Well-educated B. Honest C. Responsible D. Caring.
7. What is the best title of the passage
A. Ian McKenna, Growing a Food Project B. Ian Mckenna, an Experienced Gardener
C. Giving Garden Project, a Challenging Task D. Giving Garden Project, a Universal Solution
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Ian McKenna看到学校很多孩子没有足够的东西吃，就在学校种植一个食物花园来帮助他们的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“He wanted to help, but local volunteer organizations turned him away, saying he was too young.(他想帮忙，但当地志愿者组织拒绝了他，说他太小了)”可知，由于遭到志愿者组织的拒绝，伊恩决定以自己的方式帮助这些孩子。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“McKenna persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden; then he asked the community for donations of seeds and equipment. Other students donated their time.(麦肯纳说服学校拨出一块空地建了一座花园；然后他请求社区捐赠种子和设备。其他学生贡献了他们的时间)”可知，这个项目是在许多支持下开始的。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“He wanted to help, but local volunteer organizations turned him away, saying he was too young. So he decided to find his own solution.(他想帮忙，但当地志愿者组织拒绝了他，说他太小了。所以他决定自己寻找解决办法)”；第二段“McKenna persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden; then he asked the community for donations of seeds and equipment. Other students donated their time.(麦肯纳说服学校拨出一块空地建了一座花园；然后他请求社区捐赠种子和设备。其他学生贡献了他们的时间)”和最后一段“When COVID-19 hit the U. S., McKenna redoubled his efforts, cooking up to 100 meals to distribute to the hungry on the weekends.(当新冠肺炎疫情在美国爆发时，麦肯纳加倍努力，在周末做了多达100顿饭分发给饥民)”可推知，他是一个乐于助人的人。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While gardening is his core focus, McKenna says he is always looking for new ways to help the hungry.(虽然园艺是他的核心工作，但麦肯纳说，他一直在寻找帮助饥民的新方法)”可知，全文讲述主人公的种植活动去帮助需要帮助的人的故事。所以短文的标题为“伊恩·麦肯纳，种植食品项目”。故选A项。
C
Cows produce much methane (甲烷) the world’s second worst greenhouse gas, as they break down the grass. They are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed (海藻) to their food.
Recently, the researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood, which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off. They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food.
The consequences were surprisingly good. In some cases the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.
But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed. A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields, where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.
Still, as the study shows, something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.
8. Why did the researchers carry out the study
A. To improve the cows’ living conditions.
B. To test the effects of the seaweed.
C. To measure the amount of methane produced by cows.
D. To discover healthier grass to reduce the pollution from cows. .
9. What’s the third paragraph mainly about
A. The background of the subjects. B. The process of the research.
C. The content of the experiment. D. The results of the study.
10. What is the biggest challenge in the researchers’ opinion
A. Seaweed is pretty rare in the world.
B. It’s hard to mix seaweed with grass.
C. Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed.
D. Cows fed with seaweed gained weight easily.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们已经证明，通过在牛的食物中添加一点海藻，可以减少来自牛的污染。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food.(他们用了少量的海藻，把海藻和牛的食物混合在一起)”及第三段中的“The consequences were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane.(结果出人意料地好。在某些情况下，奶牛产生的甲烷减少了82%。这种改善取决于喂给奶牛的食物种类。即使是污染最严重的奶牛也少产生33%的甲烷)”可知，研究人员进行这项研究是为了测试海藻的影响。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The consequences were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.(结果出人意料地好。在某些情况下，奶牛产生的甲烷减少了82%。这种改善取决于喂给奶牛的食物种类。即使是污染最严重的奶牛产生的甲烷也减少了33%。在五个月的时间里，科学家们没有看到任何迹象表明奶牛的胃已经习惯了海藻，并开始再次产生更多的甲烷。更重要的是，喂食海藻的奶牛和其他奶牛增重一样多)”可知，第三段主要讲的是这项研究的结果。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields, where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.(一个更大的问题是，奶牛一生中大部分时间都生活在田野里，在那里它们吃草。这意味着没有机会每天喂它们海藻)”可知，研究人员认为最大的挑战是奶牛很难每天吃到海藻。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, as the study shows, something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.(尽管如此，正如研究表明的那样，像给奶牛喂海藻这样简单的事情可以帮助减少导致气候危机的一些污染)”可知，作者认为给牛喂海藻可以减少污染。由此推知，作者对这些发现的态度是积极的。故选B。
D
Research has shown that people tend to get more happiness from spending their money on experiences, such as travel and entertainment (娱乐), than on things like clothes and electronic products. But are people happier during the purchased (购买的) experience itself Or does the happiness come more from expecting or remembering the experience
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, offers an answer. Our experimental purchases not only bring us greater pleasure in terms of expectation and remembrance than do our material (物质的) purchases, but they also bring us greater in-the-moment enjoyment, the study found.
For the study, the researchers recruited (招募) 2,635 adults who agreed to receive texts at any time during the day. The texts began with a happiness question, which asked the participants (参与者) to tell how they felt “right now”, ranging from very bad to very good. Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour, such as clothing or electronic goods. The others were asked if they had made an experimental purchase within the past hour, such as eating in a restaurant or attending a concert.
The researchers found that the purchasers of the experiences express higher levels of happiness than the purchasers of the material goods, no matter how much the purchases cost.
To deal with possible differences in types of purchasers, the researchers carried out a second study in which they researched more than 5,000 adults. “We still found the same result,” said Amit Kumar, the study’s lead author (发起人).
“If you want to be happier, it might be wise to shift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more towards experiences,” Kumar said. “That would probably lead to greater happiness.”
12. Why does the writer put forward two questions in paragraph 1
A. To make a fact clear.
B. To introduce a new study.
C. To compare different researches.
D. To doubt the view of researchers.
13. What did the researchers text the participants for
A. To ask them about their spending plans.
B. To understand their needs and spending habits.
C. To know the change in their purchasing choices.
D. To find out their purchasing behavior and feelings.
14. Which has the similar meaning to the underlined word “shift” in the last paragraph
A. satisfy. B. apply. C. change. D. increase.
15. What does the new study find about people’s purchases
A. People prefer to purchase material goods instead of experiences.
B. People get more pleasure from spending money than making money.
C. The level of happiness from purchases depends on how much they cost.
D. Experimental purchases bring people greater happiness than material ones.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究发现，与购买物品相比，把钱花在生活体验上能让人更快乐。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, offers an answer. Our experimental purchases not only bring us greater pleasure in terms of expectation and remembrance than do our material (物质的) purchases, but they also bring us greater in-the-moment enjoyment, the study found.”(发表在《实验社会心理学杂志》上的一项新研究给出了答案。研究发现，与物质购买相比，我们的体验性购买不仅在期待和记忆方面给我们带来了更大的快乐，而且在当下也给我们带来更大的享受)可知，作者在第一段提出这两个问题是为了引出这项新研究的话题。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The texts began with a happiness question, which asked the participants (参与者) to tell how they felt “right now”, ranging from very bad to very good. Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour, such as clothing or electronic goods. The others were asked if they had made an experimental purchase within the past hour, such as eating in a restaurant or attending a concert.”(短信以一个幸福问题开始，要求参与者说出他们“现在”的感受，从非常糟糕到非常好。然后，他们中的一半被问及是否在过去一小时内购买了物品，如服装或电子产品。其他人被问及是否在过去一小时内进行了体验性购买，比如在餐厅吃饭或参加音乐会)可知，研究人员给参与者每天不定时发消息，以了解他们当时的情绪感受以及他们在过去的一个小时内是否有过购买行为。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段““If you want to be happier, it might be wise to shift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more towards experiences,” Kumar said. “That would probably lead to greater happiness.””(库马尔说：“如果你想变得更快乐，明智的做法是把你的一些消费从物质上shift到体验上。这可能会带来更大的幸福。”)并结合全文主题“如果你想要更加快乐的话，那么明智的选择就是把你花在购买物品上的一部分钱更多地转移到生活体验上，这可能会带给你更大的快乐”推测，shift的意思应该“改变；转移”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Research has shown that people tend to get more happiness from spending their money on experiences, such as travel and entertainment, than on things like clothes and electronic products.”(研究表明，比起衣服和电子产品，人们更倾向于把钱花在旅游和娱乐等体验上，从而获得更多的快乐)和最后一段““If you want to be happier, it might be wise to shift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more towards experiences,” Kumar said. “That would probably lead to greater happiness.””(库马尔说：“如果你想变得更快乐，明智的做法是把你的一些消费从物质上shift到体验上。这可能会带来更大的幸福。”)可知，这项新的研究发现，与购买物品相比，把钱花在生活体验上能让人更快乐。故选D。

【16题详解】

【18题详解】
根据后文“Successful people understand that they are fully responsible for their present situation. They see this as a good thing as it means that they hold the power to significantly improve their fate.

【19题详解】
根据上文“They avoid taking risks and they always think about the worst cases.(他们避免冒险，总是想到最坏的情况)”可知，上文提到了“他们避免冒险，总是想到最坏的情况”，故本句承接上文说明这么做的危害：阻碍他们充分发挥潜力。故F选项“这种态度会阻碍他们充分发挥潜力”符合语境，故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了“脆皮大学生”这一流行语在网上疯传，揭示了中国大学生身体健康状况严重恶化的问题。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：最近，随着人们对中国大学生身体健康状况严重恶化的担忧日益加剧，“脆皮大学生”这一流行语在网上疯传。分析句子可知，空处作句子的谓语，时间状语为recently，句子应用现在完成时，且主语buzzwords为复数，助动词应用have。故填have gone。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：相关标签“脆皮大学生”在社交媒体上爆火，大量评论分享了大学生遭受意外和滑稽受伤的经历。根据“with a large number of comments”可推知，此处用with的复合结构，空处为宾语补足语，share“分享”和comments逻辑上是主动关系，因此应用share的现在分词形式。故填sharing。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意：在接受采访时，一名学生尴尬地笑着说：“我只是伸展了一下，但我的脖子扭了。”前面表示“我只是伸展了一下”，侧重动作的轻微，后面表示“我的脖子扭了”，侧重结果的严重，前后语义构成转折，因此空处应用意为“但是”的并列连词but。故填but。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在接受采访时，一名学生尴尬地笑着说：“我只是伸展了一下，但我的脖子扭了。”分析句子可知，空处是修饰smile的定语，且描述的是反映人的情感的表情，因此应用-ed结尾的形容词embarrassed，意为“尴尬的”。故填embarrassed。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：这个词指的是普遍患有许多身体问题的新一代大学生。根据“refers”可推知，此处用固定短语refer to，意为“指的是”，因此空处应用介词to。故填to。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：“Brittle”，字面意思是纤弱的、脆弱的，被网友用来开玩笑地形容大学生是多么容易受伤和生病。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，对先行词Brittle作补充说明，先行词指物，在从句中作主语，因此应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：“Brittle”，字面意思是纤弱的、脆弱的，被网友用来开玩笑地形容大学生是多么容易受伤和生病。分析句子可知，空处修饰动词describe，因此应用副词jokingly，意为“开玩笑地”。故填jokingly。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：《中国青年报》发布的《2020中国大学生健康调查报告》同样指出，不健康的生活方式是导致大学生健康问题的一个主要因素。分析句子可知，空处作前面名词短语的后置定语，是非谓语动词，publish“发布”和Report逻辑上是被动关系，且动作当时已完成，因此应用publish的过去分词形式。故填published。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：《中国青年报》发布的《2020中国大学生健康调查报告》同样指出，不健康的生活方式是导致大学生健康问题的一个主要因素。分析句子可知，空处表示泛指，意为“一个”，应用不定冠词，且main的发音以辅音音素开头，因此应用a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：所有这些都会导致健康问题。分析句子可知，空前没有表示单数概念的修饰语，因此可数名词issue应用复数形式。故填issues。

47. 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。
One of my leachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. My leacher asked for the moment in which “you fell the best; you fell that you had the world in the palms of your hand.” Some described amazing awards; other described winning a tournament. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and mockery, because I knew there was more to the story.
My elder sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. I was an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had usually ended up fighting. Gradually, I started to learn to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern. I avoided her, and she ignored me. Deep inside, it hurt. So that was how it was between us. She was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized that I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long abandoned any attempt to teach me. I had proven to be a frustrating student. I took it upon myself to learn, a little bit each day. It was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture(折磨). I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.

Paragraph 2:
“I made it,” I shouted with excitement.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
I guess that was what my sister to come outside. At first, I was skeptical and tense, as I assumed that she would begin to tease me or at least burst out laughing. However, she did neither. I hunched my shoulders forward and turned my face away, tears trickling down my cheeks. She gently picked my bike up, uttering in a reassuring tone, “I can teach you how to ride.” Dumbstruck, I raised my head and stared at her in stunned silence. Next hours saw my sister steadily hold my bike when my feel faltered. She never once let me fall, patiently teaching me how to ride a bike.
“I made it,” I shouted with excitement. A ripple of happiness bubbled up in my heart. I turned around, beaming a warm smile at my sister. She gave me an approving nod, eyes gleaming with amusement. That was the day I had a taste of what real sisterly intimacy could be like. For three hours, three wonderful, blissful hours, we learned to ride a bike, which was the perfect harmony I had longed for. We still occasionally have our random spats and bitter rivalries, but since that day, it has been easier to get along because I know my sister will be there for me when I need her.

Ian McKenna was in third grade when he learned that many kids at his Austin school weren’t getting enough to eat at home. He wanted to help, but local volunteer organizations turned him away, saying he was too young. So he decided to find his own solution. For years, he had been-gardening with his mother, and they often sent their vegetables to the neighbors. “I’m good at gardening,” says McKenna, now 16. “Why not plant a garden at school, so that kids in need could take food home ”
McKenna persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden; then he asked the community for donations of seeds and equipment. Other students donated their time. Within months, McKenna’s garden was producing lettuces, tomatoes and cucumbers for students and their families. Now, seven years later, McKenna’s Giving Garden project has expanded to five area schools in addition to his own backyard garden. For most of his gardening activities, McKenna wears the same T-shirt in different colors, with his personal motto on it: BEA GOOD HUMAN. To him, that means helping in any way you can, no matter what your age.
“Even a smile might change someone’s life,” he says. “It lets them know that they are important. It can make their day.”
When COVID-19 hit the U.S., MeKenna redoubled his efforts, cooking up to 100 meals to distribute (配送) to the hungry on the weekends. When social distancing meant that volunteers couldn’t work on community garden, he started offering online classes and a gardening hotline so families could grow at home. While gardening is his core focus, MeKenna says he is always looking for new ways to help the hungry.
4. What caused Ian’s decision to help the kids in his own way
A. Being rejected by volunteer groups. B. Being good at gardening.
C. His school’s support. D. His mother’s suggestions.
5 What do we know about the Giving Garden project
A. It helps students only. B. It was started with many supports.
C. It is funded by schools. D. It earns great profits every year.
6. Which of the following can best describe Ian
A. Well-educated B. Honest C. Responsible D. Caring.
7. What is the best title of the passage
A. Ian McKenna, Growing a Food Project B. Ian Mckenna, an Experienced Gardener
C. Giving Garden Project, a Challenging Task D. Giving Garden Project, a Universal Solution
C
Cows produce much methane (甲烷) the world’s second worst greenhouse gas, as they break down the grass. They are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed (海藻) to their food.
Recently, the researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood, which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off. They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food.
The consequences were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.
But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed. A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields, where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.
Still, as the study shows, something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.
8. Why did the researchers carry out the study
A. To improve the cows’ living conditions.
B. To test the effects of the seaweed.
C. To measure the amount of methane produced by cows.
D. To discover healthier grass to reduce the pollution from cows. .
9. What’s the third paragraph mainly about
A. The background of the subjects. B. The process of the research.
C The content of the experiment. D. The results of the study.
10. What is the biggest challenge in the researchers’ opinion
A. Seaweed is pretty rare in the world.
B. It’s hard to mix seaweed with grass.
C. Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed.
D. Cows fed with seaweed gained weight easily.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
D
Research has shown that people tend to get more happiness from spending their money on experiences, such as travel and entertainment (娱乐), than on things like clothes and electronic products. But are people happier during the purchased (购买的) experience itself Or does the happiness come more from expecting or remembering the experience
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, offers an answer. Our experimental purchases not only bring us greater pleasure in terms of expectation and remembrance than do our material (物质的) purchases, but they also bring us greater in-the-moment enjoyment, the study found.
For the study, the researchers recruited (招募) 2,635 adults who agreed to receive texts at any time during the day. The texts began with a happiness question, which asked the participants (参与者) to tell how they felt “right now”, ranging from very bad to very good. Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour, such as clothing or electronic goods. The others were asked if they had made an experimental purchase within the past hour, such as eating in a restaurant or attending a concert.
The researchers found that the purchasers of the experiences express higher levels of happiness than the purchasers of the material goods, no matter how much the purchases cost.
To deal with possible differences in types of purchasers, the researchers carried out a second study in which they researched more than 5,000 adults. “We still found the same result,” said Amit Kumar, the study’s lead author (发起人).
“If you want to be happier, it might be wise to shift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more towards experiences,” Kumar said. “That would probably lead to greater happiness.”
12. Why does the writer put forward two questions in paragraph 1
A. To make a fact clear.
B. To introduce a new study.
C. To compare different researches.

47. 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。
One of my leachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. My leacher asked for the moment in which “you fell the best; you fell that you had the world in the palms of your hand.” Some described amazing awards; other described winning a tournament. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and mockery, because I knew there was more to the story.
My elder sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. I was an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had usually ended up fighting. Gradually, I started to learn to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern. I avoided her, and she ignored me. Deep inside, it hurt. So that was how it was between us. She was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized that I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long abandoned any attempt to teach me. I had proven to be a frustrating student. I took it upon myself to learn, a little bit each day. It was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture(折磨). I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.
