It was a sunny afternoon in June of 2022 when 20-year-old Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station. On the platform, two men were fighting bitterly. Then the unthinkable happened: the pair fell over the edge and onto the tracks. One man ended up on his back. Suddenly, he started convulsing (抽搐) unnaturally. He had fallen atop the third rail, the conduit (导线管) for the 600 volts of electricity that powers Chicago’s L trains. The aggressor leaped backward, bounded back up onto the platform and disappeared.
Perry couldn’t just stand there and watch. He sat at the edge of the platform and eased himself down. He took a few quick bounds and approached the victim. The guy looked dead, his body still moving violently as the electricity pulsed. Gathering up his courage, Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a blast of electric shock shoot through his body. Perry shrank and jumped back. He reached down a second time, and was shocked again. But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and forearm and, braving the shock, pulled with all his strength. The guy’s body slid briefly along the third rail, coming to rest on the gravel on the outer edge of the tracks.
The man was breathing, but irregularly. Something wasn’t right. “Give him chest compressions (按压)!” yelled a woman. Perry was no expert, but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began convulsing. Then he heard a sudden noise behind him-medical workers and firefighters had arrived. Perry let the professionals take over. His heart still racing from the electric shocks, he climbed back up onto the platform, grabbed his things and headed home.
The evening news reported the incident. After a friend outed him to the media, Perry became the toast of Chicago. Perry was then recruited by the Chicago Fire Department and is now training to be an emergency medical technician.
4. What made the rescue of the victim particularly difficult
A. The man had lost his consciousness.
B. The victim lay injured on top of a track
C. The rescuer was at risk of an electric shock.
D. The electricity powering trains was hard to cut off.
5. What can be inferred about Perry according to paragraphs 3-4
A. He had received professional first aid training.
B. The local newspaper interviewed him on the spot.
C. His chest compressions played a key role in saving life.
D. His heart beat fast because of nervousness and tiredness.
6. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean
A. Perry landed a job in the Fire Department.
B. The city of Chicago awarded Perry a prize.
C. Chicagoans toasted Perry for his brave deeds
D. Perry got popular and greatly admired in Chicago
7. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the text
A To credit a hero with saving a victim’s life.
B. To highlight Perry’s courage in stopping a fight.
C. To stress the importance of calmness in rescue work.
D. To display people’s cooperation in assisting the victim.

Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we approach education for students with learning disabilities.
One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted support.
Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their mistakes, leading to improved writing skills and increased confidence.
AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional intelligence.
While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and effective educational environment for all students.
8. How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities
A. By adjusting their learning methods.
B. By analyzing their learning abilities.
C. By satisfying their curiosity in learning.
D. By offering personalized learning guidance
9. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A mental illness affecting human intelligence.
B. A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study.
C. A language-related skill applied in the learning process.
D. A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing
10. What is the value of AI-powered social robots
A. Engaging students in learning activities.
B. Narrowing the social distance between people.
C. Assisting learners to overcome social isolation.
D Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies.
11. What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph
A. It can’t provide understanding like human educators.
B. It can’t create an inclusive learning environment.
C. It can meet a wide range of learning needs.
D. It can guarantee learners’ data security.
D
In a groundbreaking effort, scientists at the University of Rochester have successfully transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, leading to enhanced health and a longer lifespan for the mice.
Unlike many other species, the rats do not often contract diseases-including cancer-as they age. Vera Gorbunova, the Doris Johns Cherry Professor of biology and medicine at Rochester, along with Andrei Seluanov, a professor of biology, and their colleagues have devoted decades of research to understanding the unique mechanisms (机制) that the naked mole rats use to protect themselves against aging and diseases. The researchers discovered that HMW-HA is one mechanism responsible for the rats’ unusual resistance to pared to mice and humans, naked mole rats have about ten times more HMW-HA in their bodies. When the researchers removed HMW-HA from the rat cells, the cells were more likely to form tumors (肿瘤).
“Our study provides a proof of principle that unique longevity mechanisms that evolved in long-lived mammals can be exported to improve the lifespans of other mammals,” says Gorbunova. The Rochester rescarchers report in a study published in Nature that they successfully transferred a gene responsible for making HMW-HA from a naked mole rat to mice. This led to improved health and an approximate 4.4 percent increase in the media n lifespan for the mice.
By introducing a specific gene responsible for enhanced cellular repair and protection into mice, the researchers have opened exciting possibilities for unlocking the secrets of aging and extending human lifespan. “It took us 10 years from the discovery of HMW-HA in the naked mole rat to showing that HMW-HA improves health in mice,” Gorbunova says. “Our next goal is to transfer this benefit to humans.”
They believe they can accomplish this through two routes: either by slowing down the degradation of HMW-HA or by enhancing HMW-HA synthesis. “We hope that our findings will provide the first, but not the last, example of how longevity adaptations from a long-lived species can be adapted to benefit human longevity and health.” Seluanov says.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A The beneficial effects of HMW-HA on humans
B. The comparison between mice and humans in longevity
C. The process of transferring genes producing HMW-HA.
D. The discovery of a unique mechanism for cancer resistance.
13. What can we learn about the Rochester researchers
A. They have uncovered the secrets of humans.
B. They managed to end the weakening of HMW-HA.
C. They are planning to export longevity genes to humans
D. They have spent 10 years trying to discover HMW-HA
14. What does Seluanov think of the prospect of extending human lifespan
A. Hopeful B. Profitable. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Promise Shown in Control of Human Genes
B. Scientists Successfully Transfer Longevity Gene
C. Achievement Made in Extending Human Lifespan
D. New Breakthrough Paves the Way for Curing Cancer

Peloton star Ben Alldis shares his “forever exercise” tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Start small. Something as simple as going for a walk in nature is incredibly beneficial for our mental and physical health. ___16___ Be honest about where you’d like to get to, and put small steps in place to make improvements.
Mix up your training. There’s real benefit in just moving your body through things like walking to work and gardening. I think the concept of exercise being “over here”, and then everything else being “over there”, is too limiting. It needs to be more inclusive. ___17___
Be smart with your diary. I like to talk about “energy givers” versus “energy takers”. Energy takers are things like spending too much time on social media and binge drinking; while exercise and good food are energy givers. I was an athlete growing up, then I went into finance in my 20s and lost myself totally. ___18___ But when I changed my lifestyle, my productivity levels increased.
Give priority to sleep. I read Matthew Walker’s book Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams. ___19___ I saw a dramatic influence on my productivity levels and ability to just function. So I’ll look at what I did last night before I went to bed, and then look at the impact it had on my sleep.
Understand your body clock. Everyone has a different rhythm — some people work better later in the day, others prefer to get up early. So the most important thing is finding the right time for you. ___20___ If you prioritise your health as much as you prioritise other things, and schedule it in your diary like a meeting, it’s far more likely to happen.
A. I’ve learnt to schedule workouts.
B. If cycling’s your usual thing, mix it up with tennis or yoga.
C. If you run out of motivation, change your workout routine.
D. It inspired me to dig deeply into sleep and prioritize it.
E. I’d recommend taking an assessment of where you are today.
F. I didn’t have a gym membership, or have time to work out.
G. Slowly you make improvements, and the quality of your sleep gets better.

The air seemed to be ___25___ with everyone’s excitement, like a kind of electric energy pulsing through us. I’d never felt a(n) ___26___ like it before. Then, fireworks ___27___ into the air above us. Their bright colors glittered against the dark sky.

I’m retired and not responsible for much these days. I don’t have school-age children who require help with their homework. I sleep in when I choose, do a little writing and repair a few things around the house. My wife’s work, on the other hand, is never-ending. Diana takes care of her parents in their mid-nineties, tends to home and garden, volunteers for various community organizations, and is a gold-star grandmother. She is also a dedicated cat lover, and cats have always been her pet of choice.
All that changed when two small black-and-brown dogs scampered into our yard and melted Diana’s heart. It happened not long ago. The dogs appeared unannounced and had been seen by hikers on numerous occasions, roaming the woods like tiny lost souls. They were homeless dogs, as wild as the wind. No one could get within 100 yards of them. In their struggle for survival, the two had figured out a way to avoid people and find food and shelter in the wilderness.
They were undeniably cute and appealing. Many of our neighbors. tried to lure them in with treats, but the tiny dogs remained unapproachable. My wife began leaving tasty food out, slowly moving the food bowl closer with each feeding. As days passed, they ventured closer and closer.
Diana made a conscious effort not to frighten them. She called them to dinner with a comforting voice, letting them know they were safe. It was important that they trusted her. Why She was looking for something to mother. For Diana, love is the medicine to everything, and nothing tugged at her heartstrings more than a hungry and homeless animal.
Diana named them ”Emma“ and ”Daisy“ and she called the dogs her ”little wolves.“ Initially, they would not let her touch them. As days turned into weeks, their bond slowly grew. Soon, Diana was petting them. Next, they were eating from her hand. Before long, she had them sitting in her lap and following her around the yard. And poof! My wife was instantly transformed from cat lady to dog lady.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It wasn’t long before the dogs were sleeping in the house and assuming their role as “watchdogs”.

Time in the yard feels like a second childhood with Daisy and Emma playing about our feet.

It was a sunny afternoon in June of 2022 when 20-year-old Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station. On the platform, two men were fighting bitterly. Then the unthinkable happened: the pair fell over the edge and onto the tracks. One man ended up on his back. Suddenly, he started convulsing (抽搐) unnaturally. He had fallen atop the third rail, the conduit (导线管) for the 600 volts of electricity that powers Chicago’s L trains. The aggressor leaped backward, bounded back up onto the platform and disappeared.
Perry couldn’t just stand there and watch. He sat at the edge of the platform and eased himself down. He took a few quick bounds and approached the victim. The guy looked dead, his body still moving violently as the electricity pulsed. Gathering up his courage, Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a blast of electric shock shoot through his body. Perry shrank and jumped back. He reached down a second time, and was shocked again. But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and forearm and, braving the shock, pulled with all his strength. The guy’s body slid briefly along the third rail, coming to rest on the gravel on the outer edge of the tracks.
The man was breathing, but irregularly. Something wasn’t right. “Give him chest compressions (按压)!” yelled a woman. Perry was no expert, but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began convulsing. Then he heard a sudden noise behind him-medical workers and firefighters had arrived. Perry let the professionals take over. His heart still racing from the electric shocks, he climbed back up onto the platform, grabbed his things and headed home.
The evening news reported the incident. After a friend outed him to the media, Perry became the toast of Chicago. Perry was then recruited by the Chicago Fire Department and is now training to be an emergency medical technician.
4. What made the rescue of the victim particularly difficult
A. The man had lost his consciousness.
B. The victim lay injured on top of a track
C. The rescuer was at risk of an electric shock.
D. The electricity powering trains was hard to cut off.
5. What can be inferred about Perry according to paragraphs 3-4
A. He had received professional first aid training.
B. The local newspaper interviewed him on the spot.
C. His chest compressions played a key role in saving life.
D. His heart beat fast because of nervousness and tiredness.
6. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean
A. Perry landed a job in the Fire Department.
B. The city of Chicago awarded Perry a prize.
C. Chicagoans toasted Perry for his brave deeds
D. Perry got popular and greatly admired in Chicago
7. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the text
A. To credit a hero with saving a victim’s life.
B. To highlight Perry’s courage in stopping a fight.
C. To stress the importance of calmness in rescue work.
D. To display people’s cooperation in assisting the victim.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. A

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了安东尼·佩里在芝加哥69街车站不顾个人的安危,勇敢地拯救了跌落在铁轨上的受害者的英勇故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“He had fallen atop the third rail, the conduit (导线管) for the 600 volts of electricity that powers Chicago’s L trains.(他掉在了第三根铁轨上,那是芝加哥L型列车600伏电力的输送管道。)”和第二段中“The guy looked dead, his body still moving violently as the electricity pulsed. Gathering up his courage, Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a blast of electric shock shoot through his body. Perry shrank and jumped back. He reached down a second time, and was shocked again.(那家伙看上去已经死了,他的身体在电击时还在剧烈地移动。佩里鼓起勇气,伸手抓住了受害者的手腕。瞬间,他感到一阵电击穿过他的身体。佩里畏缩了一下,跳了回去。他又把手伸下去,又被电击了。)”可知,救援行动非常危险是因为有触电的危险。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Perry was no expert, but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim began convulsing.(佩里不是专业人士,但他还是在这个人的心脏上按压了一阵,直到受害者开始抖动。)”可知,佩里不专业的心脏复苏操作让受害者身体有了反应,说明他的胸部按压对挽救生命起了关键作用。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句上文“After a friend outed him to the media(在一个朋友向媒体透露他的英勇行为之后)”和常识可知,在媒体得知了佩里的英勇行为后会对他进行大肆的宣传报道,这样的无名英雄自然会成为人们追捧的对象,受到人们的欢迎和尊敬。所以划线句与“Perry got popular and greatly admired in Chicago(佩里在芝加哥很受欢迎,很受尊敬)”意思相近。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章讲述了安东尼·佩里在芝加哥69街车站不顾个人的安危,勇敢地拯救跌落在铁轨上的受害者的英勇故事。所以本文的写作目的就是表彰英雄佩里,因为他拯救了受害者的生命。故选A项。
C
Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we approach education for students with learning disabilities.
One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted support.
Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their mistakes, leading to improved writing skills and increased confidence.
AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional intelligence.
While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and effective educational environment for all students.
8. How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities
A. By adjusting their learning methods.
B. By analyzing their learning abilities.
C. By satisfying their curiosity in learning.
D. By offering personalized learning guidance
9. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A mental illness affecting human intelligence.
B. A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study.
C. A language-related skill applied in the learning process.
D. A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing
10. What is the value of AI-powered social robots
A. Engaging students in learning activities.
B. Narrowing the social distance between people.
C. Assisting learners to overcome social isolation.
D. Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies.
11. What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph
A. It can’t provide understanding like human educators.
B. It can’t create an inclusive learning environment.
C. It can meet a wide range of learning needs.
D. It can guarantee learners’ data security.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】

In a groundbreaking effort, scientists at the University of Rochester have successfully transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, leading to enhanced health and a longer lifespan for the mice.
Unlike many other species, the rats do not often contract diseases-including cancer-as they age. Vera Gorbunova, the Doris Johns Cherry Professor of biology and medicine at Rochester, along with Andrei Seluanov, a professor of biology, and their colleagues have devoted decades of research to understanding the unique mechanisms (机制) that the naked mole rats use to protect themselves against aging and diseases. The researchers discovered that HMW-HA is one mechanism responsible for the rats’ unusual resistance to pared to mice and humans, naked mole rats have about ten times more HMW-HA in their bodies. When the researchers removed HMW-HA from the rat cells, the cells were more likely to form tumors (肿瘤).
“Our study provides a proof of principle that unique longevity mechanisms that evolved in long-lived mammals can be exported to improve the lifespans of other mammals,” says Gorbunova. The Rochester rescarchers report in a study published in Nature that they successfully transferred a gene responsible for making HMW-HA from a naked mole rat to mice. This led to improved health and an approximate 4.4 percent increase in the media n lifespan for the mice.
By introducing a specific gene responsible for enhanced cellular repair and protection into mice, the researchers have opened exciting possibilities for unlocking the secrets of aging and extending human lifespan. “It took us 10 years from the discovery of HMW-HA in the naked mole rat to showing that HMW-HA improves health in mice,” Gorbunova says. “Our next goal is to transfer this benefit to humans.”
They believe they can accomplish this through two routes: either by slowing down the degradation of HMW-HA or by enhancing HMW-HA synthesis. “We hope that our findings will provide the first, but not the last, example of how longevity adaptations from a long-lived species can be adapted to benefit human longevity and health.” Seluanov says.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The beneficial effects of HMW-HA on humans
B. The comparison between mice and humans in longevity
C. The process of transferring genes producing HMW-HA.
D. The discovery of a unique mechanism for cancer resistance.
13. What can we learn about the Rochester researchers
A. They have uncovered the secrets of humans.
B. They managed to end the weakening of HMW-HA.
C. They are planning to export longevity genes to humans
D. They have spent 10 years trying to discover HMW-HA
14. What does Seluanov think of the prospect of extending human lifespan
A. Hopeful B. Profitable. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Promise Shown in Control of Human Genes
B. Scientists Successfully Transfer Longevity Gene
C. Achievement Made in Extending Human Lifespan
D. New Breakthrough Paves the Way for Curing Cancer
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B

Start small. Something as simple as going for a walk in nature is incredibly beneficial for our mental and physical health. ___16___ Be honest about where you’d like to get to, and put small steps in place to make improvements.
Mix up your training. There’s real benefit in just moving your body through things like walking to work and gardening. I think the concept of exercise being “over here”, and then everything else being “over there”, is too limiting. It needs to be more inclusive. ___17___
Be smart with your diary. I like to talk about “energy givers” versus “energy takers”. Energy takers are things like spending too much time on social media and binge drinking; while exercise and good food are energy givers. I was an athlete growing up, then I went into finance in my 20s and lost myself totally. ___18___ But when I changed my lifestyle, my productivity levels increased.
Give priority to sleep. I read Matthew Walker’s book Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams. ___19___ I saw a dramatic influence on my productivity levels and ability to just function. So I’ll look at what I did last night before I went to bed, and then look at the impact it had on my sleep.
Understand your body clock. Everyone has a different rhythm — some people work better later in the day, others prefer to get up early. So the most important thing is finding the right time for you. ___20___ If you prioritise your health as much as you prioritise other things, and schedule it in your diary like a meeting, it’s far more likely to happen.
A. I’ve learnt to schedule workouts.
B. If cycling’s your usual thing, mix it up with tennis or yoga.
C. If you run out of motivation, change your workout routine.
D. It inspired me to dig deeply into sleep and prioritize it.

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。
I’m retired and not responsible for much these days. I don’t have school-age children who require help with their homework. I sleep in when I choose, do a little writing and repair a few things around the house. My wife’s work, on the other hand, is never-ending. Diana takes care of her parents in their mid-nineties, tends to home and garden, volunteers for various community organizations, and is a gold-star grandmother. She is also a dedicated cat lover, and cats have always been her pet of choice.
All that changed when two small black-and-brown dogs scampered into our yard and melted Diana’s heart. It happened not long ago. The dogs appeared unannounced and had been seen by hikers on numerous occasions, roaming the woods like tiny lost souls. They were homeless dogs, as wild as the wind. No one could get within 100 yards of them. In their struggle for survival, the two had figured out a way to avoid people and find food and shelter in the wilderness.
They were undeniably cute and appealing. Many of our neighbors. tried to lure them in with treats, but the tiny dogs remained unapproachable. My wife began leaving tasty food out, slowly moving the food bowl closer with each feeding. As days passed, they ventured closer and closer.
Diana made a conscious effort not to frighten them. She called them to dinner with a comforting voice, letting them know they were safe. It was important that they trusted her. Why She was looking for something to mother. For Diana, love is the medicine to everything, and nothing tugged at her heartstrings more than a hungry and homeless animal.
Diana named them ”Emma“ and ”Daisy“ and she called the dogs her ”little wolves.“ Initially, they would not let her touch them. As days turned into weeks, their bond slowly grew. Soon, Diana was petting them. Next, they were eating from her hand. Before long, she had them sitting in her lap and following her around the yard. And poof! My wife was instantly transformed from cat lady to dog lady.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It wasn’t long before the doers were sleeping in the house and assuming their role as “watchdogs”. They became fierce protectors of our home, a comforting presence. Each day, they would police the property whole-heartedly and then return to the house expecting a sweet treat and a gentle pat on the head for a job well done. Their love and devotion were unquestioning. They quickly became integrated into our daily lives. Where did they come from That was a question I never stopped asking myself. Maybe an unavoidable tragedy brought the little wolves to us, or maybe they had been adopted by a misguided human. Whatever it was, our furry friends are the essence of happiness. They display absolute joy in simply being alive. Their wagging tails and cold little noses always lift my spirits.
Time in the yard feels like a second childhood with Daisy and Emma playing about our feet. Filled with so much energy, they race around the yard, barking and chasing each other, and then sprint back to us for another love session of pets and hugs. When my wife goes shopping, she comes home to find the dogs waiting patiently in the driveway, perched on a nest of her shoes. Those who rescue abandoned animals are the best people in the world. Diana is one of them. She can win the hearts of two wild animals with love and kindness. The “little wolves” are now so important in our lives that we can’t imagine being without them. The dogs have taught us to savor every moment spent in their company. I’ve also learned that it’s highly possible to turn a cat lady into a dog lady with two little wolves and a whole lot of love.
