John Frederick Kensett was born on March 22, 1816 in Cheshire, Connecticut. He attended school at Cheshire Academy, and studied carving with his immigrant father, Tomas Kensett, and later with his uncle. He worked as a carver in the New Haven area until about 1838, after which he went to work as a banknote carver in New York City. He didn’t know his carving experience would benefit him later. In 1840, Kensett traveled to Europe in order to study painting. He sketched (画素描) and painted throughout Europe, improving his talents. During this period, Kensett developed an affection for the 17th-century Dutch landscape painting. He returned to the United States in 1847.
After establishing his studio and settling in New York, Kensett traveled extensively throughout the Northeast and the Colorado Rockies as well as making several trips back to Europe.
Kensett is best known for his landscape of New York and New England and seascapes (海景画) of coastal New Jersey, Long Island and New England. He is most closely associated with the so-called “second generation” of the Hudson River School. In 1851 Kensett painted a monumental canvas (巨幅油画) of Mount Washington that has become a sign of White Mountain art.
Kensett’s style evolved gradually, from the traditional Hudson River School manner in the 1850s into the more improved Luminist style in his later years. By the early 1870s Kensett was spending considerable time at his home on Contentment Island, on Long Island Sound near Darien Connecticut.
It was during this time that Kensett painted some of his finest works. Many of these were seascapes, the major example being Eaton’s Neck, Long Island (1872) now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The artist was widely praised and financially successful during his lifetime. In turn, he was generous in support of the arts and artists. He was a full member of the National Academy of Design, the founder and president of the Artists’ Fund Society, and a founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Kensett died of heart failure at his New York studio on December 14, 1872.
4. What can we learn about Kensett from the first paragraph?
A. He studied carving at Cheshire Academy.
B. His uncle taught him to paint before 1840.
C. His carving work laid a foundation for his painting.
D. He painted throughout Europe to earn some money.
5. What was the feature of Kensett’s paintings?
A. Most of them were in Luminist style.
B. They had nothing to do with White Mountain art.
C. They were once influenced by the Hudson River School.
D. All of them were closely associated with carving art.
6. When did Kensett produce his best paintings?
A When he first traveled in Europe.
B. When he painted a monumental canvas.
C. When he learned the Dutch landscape painting.
D. When he was in Connecticut in the early 1870s.
7. What can we infer about Kensett’s later life?
A. He had financial problems.
B. He retired early because of ill health.
C. He gained both fame and income.
D. He devoted himself to charity work.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇人物传记。文章介绍了美国著名画家Kensett的一些经历和成就。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“He worked as a carver in the New Haven area until about 1838, after which he went to work as a banknote carver in New York City. He didn’t know his carving experience would benefit him later. In 1840, Kensett traveled to Europe in order to study painting. (他在纽黑文地区做雕刻工，直到1838年左右，之后他去纽约市做纸币雕刻工。他不知道自己的雕刻经验日后会给他带来好处。1840年，肯赛特前往欧洲学习绘画)”可知，Kensett一开始是一名雕刻工，他不知道他的雕刻经验日后会给他带来好处，后来他去欧洲学习了绘画，而他的雕刻经验为他的绘画学习打下了扎实的基础。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Kensett is best known for his landscape of New York and New England and seascapes (海景画) of coastal New Jersey, Long Island and New England. He is most closely associated with the so-called “second generation” of the Hudson River School.(肯赛特最著名的作品是纽约和新英格兰的风景画，以及新泽西、长岛和新英格兰沿海的海景画。他与所谓的哈德逊河学派的“第二代”联系最为密切)”可知，Kensett的画被誉为哈德逊河学派“第二代”。由此可知，Kensett的画深受哈德逊河学派影响。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“By the early 1870s Kensett was spending considerable time at his home on Contentment Island, on Long Island Sound near Darien Connecticut.(到19世纪70年代初，肯塞特在康涅狄格州达里恩附近的长岛海峡的知足岛上的家中度过了相当长的时间)”及第五段“It was during this time that Kensett painted some of his finest works.(正是在这段时间里，肯塞特画了一些他最好的作品)”可知，正是在19世纪70年代初在康涅狄格州的时候，Kensett画出了一些最好的作品。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The artist was widely praised and financially successful during his lifetime. In turn, he was generous in support of the arts and artists. He was a full member of the National Academy of Design, the founder and president of the Artists’ Fund Society, and a founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.(这位艺术家生前广受赞誉，经济上也很成功。反过来，他也慷慨地支持艺术和艺术家。他是美国国家设计学院的正式成员，艺术家基金协会的创始人和主席，大都会艺术博物馆的创始人之一)”可知，Kensett生前广受赞誉，在经济上也很成功。由此可推知，Kensett晚年可以说名利双收。故选C项。
C
Right now you should know about two ways to represent numbers, as Roman numerals and Arabic numerals. Plus, people in other countries use different symbols for numbers. With all these different symbols, how can math be a universal language?
Math is a universal language because the principles and foundations of math are the same everywhere around the world. Ten plus ten equals twenty if you write it as Arabic numerals 10+10=20 or Roman numerals X+X=XX. The concept of 20 items is the same no matter where you are in the world.
And, what about geometry(几何)? A circle is always a circle and its circumference (周长) is always calculated the same way no matter where you are in the world. The same holds true for any other figure like triangles, squares or rectangles.
We like to visit other countries to experience new scenery, new foods and a different culture. It’s fun to watch documentaries about festivals that we don’t have in North America. There is a great deal of cultural diversity in the world that we can enjoy and celebrate. But math is one thing that is common to everyone.
Different countries use different units of measurement; for example, the United States and the United Kingdom use inches and feet while the rest of Europe uses metric measurements of centimeters and meters. But no matter what the units are, everyone must measure the house that they are building. Houses everywhere, whether they are square or round, are built using the same mathematical equations(方程式).
The principles of probability are the same everywhere as well. The chance of rain in Guatemala might be greater than the chance of rain in the Sahara Desert but probability works the same way. People around the world have different genes but the probability of passing on genes to their children follows the same mathematical rules.
It is easy to see that no matter how diverse different cultures are, math is one common language across the world.
8. How many ways to stand for numbers are mentioned in the text?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
9. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning geometry in the third paragraph?
A. To highlight the importance of math.
B. To study different shapes and forms.
C. To show how to calculate the circumference.
D. To prove math calculation is often used in it is always the same.
10. What does the underlined word“figure”mean in the third paragraph?
A. Shape. B. Size. C. Picture. D. Field.
11. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A. Math has no distinct characteristics of diversity.
B. Documentaries about festivals are always fun.
C. People hope to experience different cultures abroad.
D. Culture has a huge impact on the development of math.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了数学是一种通用性语言，数学的原理和基础在世界各地是一样的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Right now you should know about two ways to represent numbers, as Roman numerals and Arabic numerals.(现在你应该知道两种表示数字的方法，罗马数字和阿拉伯数字。)”可知，文章提到了罗马数字和阿拉伯数字这两种表示数字的方法。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“And, what about geometry(几何)? A circle is always a circle and its circumference (周长) is always calculated the same way no matter where you are in the world. The same holds true for any other figure like triangles, squares or rectangles.(那么，几何呢？圆始终是圆，无论你在世界上的哪个地方，它的周长都是用同样的方法计算的。这同样适用于任何其他图形，如三角形、正方形或矩形。)”以及文章第二段第一句话“Math is a universal language because the principles and foundations of math are the same everywhere around the world.(数学是一种通用语言，因为数学的原理和基础在世界各地都是一样的。)”可知，作者提到几何，是想表达它们的计算方式总是一样的，是为了论证第二段第一句话：数学是一种通用性语言，它的原理和基础在世界各地都是一样的。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“The same holds true for any other figure like triangles, squares or rectangles.(这同样适用于任何其他图形，如三角形、正方形或矩形。)”可知，这同样适用于其他任何figure，如三角形，正方形或矩形。三角形、正方形、矩形等都是figure的代表，这些都是图形。由此可推知figure此处应指“图形”。A. Shape.图形；B. Size.尺寸；C. Picture.图片；D. Field.田地、领域。figure与shape为同义表达。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“We like to visit other countries to experience new scenery, new foods and a different culture. It’s fun to watch documentaries about festivals that we don’t have in North America. There is a great deal of cultural diversity in the world that we can enjoy and celebrate. But math is one thing that is common to everyone.(我们喜欢到其他国家去体验新的风景、新的食物和不同的文化。看关于电影节的纪录片很有趣，这在北美是没有的。世界上有大量的文化多样性，我们可以享受和庆祝。但数学对每个人来说都很常见。)”可知，世界上有大量的 文化多样性，但是数学对每个人来说都很常见。由此可推知，数学没有多样性。故选A项。
D
Though plastic shopping bags are cheap and useful, they cause widespread pollution. Now, we may have an unlikely helper to help clean up our garbage — a small wax worm.
The worm’s hidden skills were discovered by accident. About two years ago, Federica Bertocchini, a developmental biologist at the Spanish National Research Council and an amateur beekeeper, was cleaning out bees’ nest that had been filled with worms. She removed the worms and put them in a plastic bag while doing the cleaning. After finishing, she went back to the room where she had left the worms, and found they had escaped from the bag. When she checked, she saw that the bag was full of holes.
Realizing she may have made an important discovery, Bertocchini teamed up with other researchers to conduct further research. They began by placing 100 worms on some plastic bags and discovered that over a 24-hour period, the worms managed to chew through 92 milligrams of plastic. The researchers make an appropriate judgment that at this rate, the group of worms could degrade (降解) an average-sized 5.5-gram plastic bag within a month. To rule out the possibility that chewing was causing the degradation, the researchers spread the soft wet substance inside the body of some recently dead worms on a sheet of plastic. Sure enough, even the liquid was able to eat through the material, confirming that the worms have plastic-digesting enzymes (酶).
While the news is certainly encouraging, not everyone is convinced. The Michigan State University’s Ramani Narayan believes the tiny pieces of microplastics released by the plastic-eating worms would pick up harmful substances and transport them up the food chain, causing, even more, harm to the environment and human health. Susan Selke, director of Michigan State University School of Packaging, is concerned that the worms will not be able to survive in an oxygen-free landfills where large amounts of waste material are buried under the earth.
However, Bertocchini is not planning to transport worm armies to landfills. Instead, the researcher wants to identify the enzyme that helps degrade the plastic. The researcher says, maybe we can find the molecule (分子) and produce it on an industrial level, rather than using a million worms in a plastic bag.
12. What did the experiment of using dead worms find out?
A. Worms’ chewing may cause the degradation.
B A plastic-eating chemical exists in wax worms.
C. Dead worms are effective in dealing with plastic.
D. It takes a long time for worms to degrade plastic.
13. What is Ramani Naravan's attitude to Bertocchini's finding?
A. Objective B. Convinced C. Questioning. D. Optimistic.
14. What might Bertocchini focus her later research on?
A. The structure of plastic-degrading enzymes.
B. The use of other worms in disposing plastic.
C. Wax worms’ adaptability to the landfill environment.
D. The chance of producing wax worms on a large scale.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Can wax worms save the environment?
B. Wax worms have an appetite for plastic.
C. Why do wax worms have plastic-eating skills?
D. Hungry worms join the fight against plastic pollution
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍喜欢吃塑料的蜡虫。通过研究发现这种虫子具有塑料消化酶，尽管虽然这个消息确实令人鼓舞，但并不是每个人都信服，有些人认为吃塑料的蠕虫释放出的微小塑料碎片会收集有害物质并将它们输送到食物链上，对环境和人类健康造成更大的危害。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中To rule out the possibility that chewing was causing the degradation, the researchers spread the soft wet substance inside the body of some recently dead worms on a sheet of plastic. Sure enough, even the liquid was able to eat through the material, confirming that the worms have plastic-digesting enzymes (酶).“为了排除咀嚼导致退化的可能性，研究人员将这种柔软湿润的物质撒在一些刚死的蠕虫体内的一张塑料上。可以肯定的是，即使是液体也能吃掉这些物质，这就证实了蠕虫有塑料消化酶。”由此可知，用死虫做的实验发现“蜡虫体内存在一种能吃塑料的化学物质。”故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中While the news is certainly encouraging, not everyone is convinced. The Michigan State University’s Ramani Narayan believes the tiny pieces of microplastics released by the plastic-eating worms would pick up harmful substances and transport them up the food chain, causing, even more, harm to the environment and human health.“尽管这一消息确实令人鼓舞，但并非所有人都对此深信不疑。密歇根州立大学的Ramani Narayan认为，这些以塑料为食的蠕虫释放的微小塑料微粒会带走有害物质，并将其转移到食物链中，对环境和人类健康造成更大的危害。”由此可知，Ramani Naravan对Bertocchini的发现持“怀疑”态度。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Instead, the researcher wants to identify the enzyme that helps degrade the plastic. The researcher says, maybe we can find the molecule (分子) and produce it on an industrial level, rather than using a million worms in a plastic bag.“相反，研究人员想要找出帮助降解塑料的酶。研究人员说，也许我们可以找到这种分子并进行工业化生产，而不是用一百万只蠕虫装在一个塑料袋里。”由此可知，Bertocchini后来的研究重点可能是塑料降解酶的结构。故选A。
【15题详解】
标题判断题。根据第一段Though plastic shopping bags are cheap and useful, they cause widespread pollution. Now, we may have an unlikely helper to help clean up our garbage — a small wax worm.“虽然塑料购物袋便宜又有用，但它们造成了广泛的污染。现在，我们可能有了一个意想不到的帮手来帮我们清理垃圾——一只小蜡虫。”由此可知，B项Wax worms have an appetite for plastic.（蜡虫喜欢吃塑料。）为最佳标题。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood. ____16____ Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. ____17____ And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.
And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s “king”. ____18____
Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines. Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. ____19____ This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor(隐喻)referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. ____20____
A. Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.
B. During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.
C. It is called “the Chu River and the Han Boundary”.
D. The game is called Xiangqi, a game of ordinary people.
E. There are many differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.
F. An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.
G. Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. A 19. C 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的象棋。
【16题详解】
上文“If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood. ”（如果你在夏天去中国的任何一个城市旅行，你会看到人们，大多数是穿着 T 恤的男人，坐在人行道上的阴凉处的矮椅子上，用大圆盘木头玩游戏）描述了下象棋的景象，下文“Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. ”（象棋的历史可以追溯到战国）介绍象棋可以追溯到战国时代，所以空处应该指出这个游戏是象棋，D项“这个游戏叫象棋，一个普通人的游戏”符合逻辑关系。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. ”（象棋的历史可以追溯到战国。虽然专家们对象棋的创造者以及它与西洋象棋的联系有不同的看法，但毫无疑问，到了唐代，象棋在中国已经成为一种流行的游戏）介绍象棋在中国历史悠久，很受欢迎。这里是按时间顺序：战国时期—唐朝，所以空处应该按照时间讲唐朝之后的一个时期，象棋的发展情形。B项“在清朝时期，它的知名度增加了”符合时间逻辑关系。故选B。
【18题详解】
空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s “king”. ”（和西洋象棋一样，这个游戏的目的是捕捉对手的“国王”）推知，空处应该讲述中国象棋中的“王”，A项“其实在象棋里他只是个将军。”符合题意。故选A。
【19题详解】
上文“Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines. Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. ”（与西方国际象棋不同，棋子不是放在正方形中，而是放在直线的交叉点上。象棋和西洋象棋的另一大区别是棋盘中间有一大块空白，象无法通过）提到中国象棋中有个空间是象不能越过的；下文“This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. ”（这个空间指的是中国的一个地区，刘邦和项羽在那里进行了一场生死战）提到这个空间就是刘邦和项羽打生死战的地方，所以空处应是对这个空间进行定义，C项“它被称为“楚河汉界””符合逻辑。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor(隐喻)referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. ”（这场战争的影响是如此之大，以至于“楚汉边界”已经成为一个隐喻，指的是两个敌对军队之间的任何边界。当今天的中国人看到这个名字在黑板上，战斗的画面浮现在他们的脑海中，仿佛被浓烟包围，能够听到战鼓的敲击声）提到楚河汉界是一种隐喻，因此下象棋时棋盘也是个战场，人们看到这个名字就好像沉浸在硝烟四起、战鼓喧天的战争场面。F项“一场激烈的战斗即将在这个小棋盘上进行”符合逻辑。故选F。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是中国的绿茶文化和相关历史。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：今年夏天，古装剧《梦华录》吸引了众多观众，剧中女主角赵蟠儿泡茶的方式也备受关注。由“this summer”可知，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式drew，故填drew。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：喜茶，一家中国精品茶馆连锁店，最近根据电视剧中的配方推出了新的调味茶饮料。句中谓语是launched，空格处用非谓语动词，“new flavored tea drinks”和base之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填based。
【38题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：众所周知，中国不仅是世界上大部分茶叶的产地，而且有一系列关于制茶和根据季节选择茶叶的习俗。not only...but also...是固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”，其中also可省略，因此空格处用but，故填but。
【39题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：在夏季，人们强烈推荐饮用绿茶，因为绿茶在中医理论中具有“寒”的特征，适合缓解炎热夏季带来的躁动不安。it和character之间是所属关系，空格处意为“它的”，用形容词性物主代词its修饰名词character，故填its。
【40题详解】
考查不定式。句意：在夏季，人们强烈推荐饮用绿茶，因为绿茶在中医理论中具有“寒”的特征，适合缓解炎热夏季带来的躁动不安。根据语境可知，句子表示“绿茶在中医理论中具有“寒”的特征，适合缓解炎热夏季带来的躁动不安”，be suitable to do sth.，故填to calm。
【41题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：自南宋以来，散叶绿茶已经在中国被饮用。由Since可知，主句时态用现在完成时，茶是被饮用，因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态，即have/has been done，主语tea是不可数名词，因此空格处是has been drunk。故填has been drunk。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：据说，清朝的乾隆皇帝是一个茶爱好者，他经常在夏天的日常生活中享受龙井，这是中国最著名的绿茶，产自浙江省。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词life，day的形容词是daily，意为“日常的”，故填daily。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：除了龙井，中国绿茶还有许多家族成员，都有美丽而诗意的名字，比如云雾，字面意思是云和雾。由“Chinese green tea has many family members with beautiful and poetic names, such as Yunwu”可知，句子表示“除了龙井，中国绿茶还有许多家族成员，都有美丽而诗意的名字，比如云雾”，空格处意为“除了……还有……”，因此空格处用besides，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Besides。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：除了龙井，中国绿茶还有许多家族成员，都有美丽而诗意的名字，比如云雾，字面意思是云和雾。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词Yunwu是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：当你感到燥热不安时，来一杯中国绿茶，享受一口“清凉的夏天”。a mouthful of是固定短语，意为“一口”，因此空格处是a，故填a。

47. 阅读下面的材料，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 need to do something in my community (社区) in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school. Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do.
I thought that we would just be passing our dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering. It wasn’t until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.
As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I’d come face to face with the homeless: How should I act? How would they treat me? Would they hate me for having more than they did? While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous, I didn’t have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the lady next to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she’d be right there, which I found quite comforting.
I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had totally given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

【答案】参考范文
As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. Nervous as I felt, I did my best to keep myself calm and packed bread, salad and meat to those in need. Upon noticing my hurried and trembling hands, the lady next to me smilingly told me that I should first organize these people to queue up and then hand out salad one by one. I immediately sprang into action and the passing time witnessed the smooth process of this event. Every one of them including those who looked very dangerous murmured in a cheering voice “Thank you” and bowed to me sincerely, which brought warmth straight into my heart. It was not until the night wiped out the last ray of sun that we finished our community service for the homeless.
I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way. I was aware that my time spent at the soup kitchen was really a rewarding, enriching and life-changing experience. Not only did I clear my previous prejudice against those who deserved compassion and support, but also I served the people who were less fortunate than me. In the meanwhile, I suddenly came to realize that not everyone was blessed with fortune and born to be wealthy, and therefore, we should always keep grateful for what life blessed us with. I now felt it a duty to do what I could for them. Since that day, I have spared more time in offering my service opportunity in dining halls, in the streets, in front of grocery stores.
