Mine came recently when my wife and I visited our son in Los Angeles.“Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel admonished on our first night. All right, I figured, this is California, where drought (干旱) is a concern. But then more followed. Not to leave my awkward walking shoes sitting out, and did I even need such ugly footwear? Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning — it will warm up when we get to the park. And do you have to take a shower before we drive to Topanga?At the beginning, I wondered how I raised such a bossy child. But I recalled my own words when he was young: “Someday, you’ll have your own home and can live however you want. Until then, do as we say.” Now, it was payback time.I remembered being angry at my own father’s commands growing up, how he always tidied my desk or came into my room at dusk to close the windows. And so I smilingly followed Nathaniel’s nagging (唠叨).On our last afternoon, we were walking along ElMatador Beach and hit an extended patch of rocks — clearly the end of the line, I thought. Nathaniel wouldn’t hear of it and encouraged me to walk across one largest one to the next, patiently telling me where to place my arthritic (关节炎的) feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was terrified, but after a couple hundred yards we eventually reached a fresh sandy beach.“You did it! I’m really proud,” he said, smiling, as if I’d just learned to ride a bike. It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood.4．What does the underlined word “admonished” in paragraph 2mean?A．Warned gently but firmly B．Explained loudly but lovingly.C．Announced officially and clearly.D．Inspired deeply and indirectly.5．Why did the author refer to his father?A．For memory.B．For reference.C．For encouragement.D．For comparison. 6．What was the writer’s attitude towards his son at last?A．Annoyed.B．Regretful.C．Appreciative.D．Disapproving. 7．What might be the best tile of the passage?A．The Role Switch: Parent to PupilB．The Bossy Son: Nathaniel’s TakeoverC．The Beach Challenge: Crossing the RocksD．The Power of Words: Nagging to ChangeThere are millions — possibly billions — of ponds (池塘).Yet for a century or so, they are poorly understood and scientists have paid them very little attention. This neglect (忽视) might not have mattered if it were not for increasing evidence that ponds are extremely important habitats for wildlife.Ponds are being shown more bio-diverse than rivers or lakes. Interestingly, this seems to be partly due to the small size of ponds, which allows them to have a wide range of conditions. The community in a pond with clear water will be very different to that in a nearby seasonal pond made cloudy by farm animals. Ponds show far greater variation than rivers and streams, as flowing water tends to equalize water chemistry.So why have we ignored such a vital part of the natural world? A key reason appears to be the bias (偏见) we humans have where we assume that if something is small, it can’t be all that important. Rather than study ponds, scientists in the past typically headed for the largest lake or river they could find.Most of us also devalue ponds because we assume they are artificial habitats: we look at the human-made examples around us and don’t realize that these waters have a deeply ancient origin. In our new book Ponds, Pools and Puddles, we show that ponds have clearly existed on Earth as long as there has been land and water and the geological record shows they have been a constantpresence.Now, views are taking on new shapes. Last year, the Ramsar Convention, an international agreement, introduced a proposal on small wetlands, including ponds, giving crucial recognition to them. And the European Union-funded PONDER FUL project is gathering data on Europe’s ponds.In a world where freshwater faces big challenges, creating and protecting ponds provides a ray of hope: a piece of natural ecological (生态的) engineering we can easily achieve to help support one of the most threatened bits of the environment.8．What may contribute to the biodiversity of ponds?A．The nearby animals.B．The constant temperature water.C．Their diverse conditions.D．Their regularly changing conditions. 9．What caused ponds to be neglected?A．People’s love for nature.B．Insufficient ponds for research.C．People’s mistaken belief of ponds.D．Lacking scientific research methods. 10．Why is “PONDERFUL project” mentioned?A．To promote the Ramsar Convention.B．To prepare for the research on pondsC．To highlight the importance of small wetlands.D．To show the changing attitudes towards ponds.11．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A．Penny wise, pound foolish.B．A small key opens a big door.C．Small streams make great rivers D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.We all know how it feels to get lost in a great book. Sometimes the characters and emotions can seem as real as those of our everyday lives, But what’s happening in our brains as we dive into those pages?A team led by Leila Wehbe and Tom Mitchell of Carnegie Mellon University’s machine learning department has provided answers to the question.The researchers gathered a group of 8 volunteers, and recorded their brain activity in an fMRI scanner(扫描仪) as they read Chapter 9 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for 45minutes. Then, they put the volunteers’ fMRI data into a computer program they’d written. They’d designed the program to look for patterns of brain activity that appeared when the volunteers read certain words, particular characters’ names and other features of the story—a total of 195 different “story features”.When the researchers used all the 195 story features, the program was able to guess which passage was being read with an accuracy of 74 percent. Finally, the researchers repeated the test at every brain region, which allowed them to figure out which brain regions are processing which types of information.They find that our brains run individual words through the first round of processing in the visual cortex—the brain area that processes all visual input—and through higher-level processing areas like the left inferior frontal gyrus (左侧额下回). When the volunteers read descriptions of physical movement in the story, the descriptions adjusted the activity into the regions involved in sensing real-world movement. A variety of characters, meanwhile, were correlated with the activity patterns in the right posterior superior region (脑右后上区域). This all confirm the existence of what researchers call the “protagonist’s perspective(主人公视角)interpreter network(PPIN)”, a network of brain regions that enable us to “become” the protagonist of the story we’re reading.“We maybe not only toward a more accurate rate neural(神经的)model of language processing, but also toward a clearer understanding of how and why it can go wrong,” We h be said. Someday it may help us design individually tailored neurological treatments for reading disorders. And many people may in the future find it easier to get lost in the pages of a good book. 12．How was the study carried out?A．By using an fMRI scanner.B．By reading the book and telling feelings.C．By tracking the brain’s response to a story.D．By processing the book with a program.13．Why did the researchers repeat the test at every brain region?A．To test its effect.B．To improve the program prediction.C．To confirm “story features”.D．To identify brain’s processing regions. 14．What can we know about the findings of the study in paragraph 5?A．Readers can experience the story through PPIN.B．Higher-level processing areas are for storing words.C．Physical movements are processed in the inferior frontal gyrus.D．Characters are associated with the left posterior superior region.15．What is a possible application of the study?A．Promoting good reading standards.B．Improving humans intelligence.C．Curing people’s reading disorders.D．Mastering learning skills easier.Unaided, we can’t do anything without our feet. So why, when our quality of life is directly related to being active, do many of us ignore these two vital parts of our body?16 In 2021, a study over arise in foot tissues and how poor foot health affects everything from physical activity to the overall health of able-bodied people was conducted. “Foot problems can reduce quality of life, lead to loss of balance, make it difficult to put on shoes and increase the risk of falling,” the authors wrote in the journal Scientific Reports. Meanwhile, a 2017 study, also in Spain, of able-bodied university students confirmed this too. 17 It increased their risk of being socially cutoff.If foot pain limits your activity a and lasts more than a week, says Paul Langer, a sports-medicine podiatrist (足疗医生), it’s time to see a doctor for foot treatment. 18 They’re like the base of the Tower of Pisa. When they’re off, the tower leans (倾斜).Therefore, keeping our foot happy is rather critical. 19 Experts say every move we make creates a chain reaction in our muscles, and joints.The foot is the driver of all movement. 20 If afoot doesn’t work normally, it can drive everything up the chain to be of disfunction, too. The key to a healthy foot is strength and mobility through the hips (臀部). Therefore our feet need help from their friends above to keep them working properly.A．Spanish scientists expressed concern.B．All of this can affect activities of daily living.C．In fact, seeking help from experts is the best way.D．Poor foot health prevented them from being physically active.E．Taking care of your feet sometimes begins elsewhere in your body.F．When the foot hits the ground, everything else in the body changes.G．If the feet aren’t performing properly, they throw everything else off.二、完形填空It was one of my favourite parts of the day, when I walked my husky, Max, around our neighbourhood.Though wolf-like in 21 , he was a teddy bear at heart.

北京市海淀区2023-2024学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题一、完形填空It was a Saturday afternoon when I was just ten. My grandmother entered the dining room with the mail and placed it by my mother, who 1 the thin envelope rather cautiously, paused and then tossed it into the wastepaper basket.“You can at least open it,” my grandmother said.“I don’t want to see one more 2 letter. Period!” my mother answered.“Poor Mommy,” I said. “Don’t feel bad. You’re a good writer.” But the words of a ten-year-old, while appreciated, were lost in the thick air of adult 3 that filled the room.Ignoring my mother’s response, my grandmother turned the basket over and pulled out the envelope. She 4 open the letter and read it silently. My heart was racing with expectation as she suddenly straightened up and charged at her daughter, pushing the letter under my mother’s nose. “There! There!”“Please, Mother,” my mother said sadly as she pushed the letter away.“Read it!” my grandmother pushed it back. “It’s an 5 !”My mother stopped. She looked first at me, then at my grandmother. Slowly, she read the words: “We are 6 to inform you...”I watched her face turn from 7 to joy. She jumped up and hugged my grandmother, whose face was now shining as if saying 8 I knew you would succeed.Now, years later, whenever I am hesitant to open my own letters in fear of rejection (拒绝), I can feel my mother and grandmother reach for the basket, 9 me to open them. And I also have my son to cheer me up. “Don’t worry, Mommy. You’re a good writer.” I know it no longer matters whether the mail holds an acceptance or a rejection, for I have learned about the power of 10 support.1．A．eyed B．handed C．opened D．received 2．A．invitation B．rejection C．explanation D．recommendation 3．A．anger B．concern C．confusion D．tension4．A．cut B．tore C．forced D．broke5．A．award B．apology C．acceptance D．advertisement 6．A．relieved B．regretful C．happy D．sad 7．A．disbelief B．dissatisfaction C．disagreement D．disappointment 8．A．calmly B．gratefully C．patiently D．proudly 9．A．encouraging B．allowing C．reminding D．instructing 10．A．unchangeable B．unconditional C．unforgettable D．unintentional二、语法填空阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。

Megan Piphus Peace is one of them: In late 2021, she became the show’s first full-time black woman puppeteer, playing a 6-year-old black girl named Gabrielle. Last month, she officially left her real estate career. “I always dreamed of working in television, but I never imagined myself being on Sesame Street,” she says.Piphus Peace, now 29, grew up watching Sesame Street. As a young child, she considered the puppets to be her companions, not realizing until she was older that they weren’t real. She has been pursuing puppeteering since then. At Vanderbilt University, where she studied economics, she was known as the “Vanderbilt Ventriloquist (腹语表演者).” She even appeared on The Tonight Show in 2012 and America’s Got Talent in 2013.One of Piphus Peace’s teachers, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, who played the Sesame Street character Abby Cadabby in 2006, says that Piphus Peace is a gifted storyteller and natural leader. “To say that I was amazed by Megan would be an understatement,”Carrara-Rudolph says. “I was inspired by her loving heart, strength of character, humor, humanity and what an energetic creative force she is.”Although Piphus Peace submitted her first video audition (试演) to Sesame Street in 2017, she didn’t hear back until 2020, when Matt Vogel, the puppet captain of the show, reached out to her. “She comes from a different kind of puppetry background than most of other Sesame Street puppet performers,” Vogel says. “We went to college to learn puppetry, or acting schools, etc., but Megan learned the art of ventriloquism by herself.”4．What do we know about Piphus Peace?A．She used to work in television. B．She is now part of Sesame Street. C．She was called Gabrielle at a young age. D．She has been a puppeteer for over 50 years.5．How did Piphus Peace look at the puppets in her childhood?A．She thought they were unreal. B．She considered them to be humorous. C．She found it hard to distinguish them. D．She regarded them as her friends. 6．What does paragraph 3 strongly stress?A．Carrara-Rudolph’s impact on Piphus PeaceB．The striking characteristics of Sesame StreetC．Carrara-Rudolph’s opinion of Piphus PeaceD．The character Abby Cadabby in Sesame Street7．Why is Piphus Peace different from most other performers according to Vogel? A．She is a self-trained ventriloquist. B．She is the most popular performer. C．She has played many different characters. D．She is the only female actress in the show.Reading books can obviously make you a better, smarter entrepreneur. According to a 2018 study of over 160,000 adults in 31 countries, the more books that were present in participants’ childhood homes, the more competent they now were as adults with skills in literacy, mathematics, and technological problem-solving. Researchers note that book-oriented socialization, indicated by home library size, equips youth with lifelong tastes, skill and knowledge.Growing up with home libraries boosts adult skills in literacy, numeracy and technological problem-solving beyond the benefits acquired from parental education or your own educational or occupational attainment. Kids who grow up in a home where reading is valued and modeled are more likely to be good readers. Strangely enough, though, advanced education doesn’t necessarily offset the “lots of books in the home” advantage. Adults who grew up with relatively few books in their homes and later earned a college degree had literacy levels approximately equal to adults who grew up in homes with large libraries but only attended school for nine years.Jessica Stillman [of Inc.] writes, surrounding yourself with more books than you could ever read says good things about your mind. Those books serve as a constant reminder of all the things you don’t know — which helps keep you intellectually hungry and curious. And possibly, this will keep you a little more modest, since research shows the quicker you are to admit you don’t know something, the faster you can then learn it. As Jeff Bezos says, a key sign of intelligence is the willingness to change your mind, something that only happens if you’re willing to admit that your current thinking may not be the best thinking. Modesty, learning and the willingness to change your mind when new data presents itself: That’s another three bonus every entrepreneur can benefit from.8．What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about the research?A．Tough process. B．Inspiring discovery.C．Numerous data. D．Advanced technology.9．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 2?A．Compete with. B．Differ from. C．Go against. D．Compensate for. 10．Why does the author mention Jessica?A．To keep readers intellectually hungry. B．To stress the significance of modesty.C．To remind readers of their ignorance. D．To evidence the benefits of home library.11．What is the passage mainly about?A．Home library size indicates lifelong skills. B．Home reading equals to a college degree.C．Modesty makes a promising entrepreneur. D．Childhood libraries lead to adulthood success.The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode (方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.12．You’d better not drive in a car on Gold Coast because ________.A．you will break the traffic rulesB．you will cause much noiseC．you can’t enjoy the beautiful sights wellD．you can’t drive into some parks13．The following advantages of hiring bikes are mentioned EXCEPT that ________. A．you can take photos of animalsB．it is a cheap way of travelingC．you can get a clearer sight of animalsD．it is a good way to do sunbathing14．Which of the following words has the same meaning as the word underlined in the third paragraph?A．advantage B．weakness C．appearance D．disadvantage15．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．How to hire bikes on Gold Coast.B．What kinds of bikes there are in stores.C．What bikes are the most popular.D．Who can hire bikes on Gold Coast.二、七选五Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 16 According to recent studies，the answer is a big YES，if the air quality in your camping area is good.17 If the air you’re breathing is clean-which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities-then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen.If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles (肌肉) and your brain.Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing (治愈). 18 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery.

The man walked down the trail on a cold day. This was his first winter in Alaska. He was on his way to a camp near Henderson Creek. His friends were already there. He expected to reach Henderson Creek by six o’clock that evening. It would be dark by then.He continued his way until he came to a frozen stream called Indian Creek. He began to walk on the snow-covered ice. It was a trail that would lead him straight to Henderson Creek and his friends.Then he had to walk around a part of the frozen stream, where an underground spring flowed under the ice, which made the ice thin. If he stepped there, he might break through the ice into a pool of water. To get his boots wet in such cold weather might kill him.At a place where the snow seemed very solid, the ice suddenly broke. The man’s feet sank into the water. It was not deep, but his legs got wet to the knees. Now he had to build a fire to dry his clothes and boots. He collected pieces of dry grass and wood, pulled off his gloves, took out his matches, and lit the fire.Now, the fire was beginning to burn strongly. He was safe. He sat under the tree and thought of the old men in Fairbanks. They had told him that no man should travel alone when the temperature was sixty degrees below zero. Yet here he was. He had had an accident so he was alone. And to save himself, he had built a fire.Suddenly, without warning, a heavy mass of snow dropped down just onto the fire. He reached into his poc ket for the matches again. But his fingers were frozen. He couldn’t hold them and all the matches fell onto the snow. He tried to pick one up, but failed. Seeing the matches, he couldn’t do anything…1. Why did the man try to get to the camp on his own?A．Because he was braver than others.B．Because he always preferred traveling alone.C．Because an accident caused him to fall behind.D．Because he thought that others walked too slowly.2. The man chose to reach the camp by way of Indian Creek because ________.A．it was a shortcut B．Indian Creek was easy to crossC．it was very safe D．some old people there would help him 3. Why did the ice break in the fourth paragraph?A．Because the snow stopped and the ice was too thin to step on.B．Because there was an underground spring flowing under the ice.C．Because the fire he started with the wood he carried melted the ice.D．Because he and his stuff were too heavy and the stream was not frozen.4. What can we infer about the man from the passage?A．He was not really in danger. B．He still had ways to start another fire.D．He was spotted and rescued by his friends.C．He regretted not taking the old men’sadvice.3. The word listen, as is shown in Longman Dictionary, means paying attention to what someone is saying or to a sound that you can hear. Listening is definitely an important skill in communication. “When people talk, listen completely.” Those words of Ernest Hemingway might be a pretty good guiding principle for many managers. After all, people like being listened to.Some firms use a technique known as a “listening circle”. In such a circle, only one person can talk about the issues they face at a time and there is no interruption. A study cited in the Harvard Business Review found that employees who had taken part in a listening circle subsequently suffered less social anxiety and had fewer worries about work-related matters than those who did not. Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender, who was a hostage (人质) negotiator, dealing with everything from suicide interventions to international kidnaps (绑架). He defines listening as “the identification, selection and interpretation of the key words”. It is crucial to all effective communication.Plenty of people think that good listening is about nodding your head or keeping eye contact. But that is not really listening, Mr Mullender argues. A good listener is always looking for facts, emotions and indications of the other person’s values. Another important point to bear in mind is that, when you talk, you are not listening. The listener’s focus should be on analysis.Of course, a listener needs to speak occasionally. One approach is to make an assessment of what the other person is telling you and then check it with them. For example, you can check with the other person by saying “It seems to me that what you want is…”. That gives the other party a sense that they are being understood. The fundamental aim is to build up a relationship so the other person likes you and trusts you, Mr Mullender says.1. What can we learn about a “listening circle”?A．A listening circle focuses on personal issues.B．In a listening circle, a speaker won’t be interrupted.C．A listening circle increases worries about work-related matters.D．Employees get rid of social anxiety by taking part in a listening circle.2. What’s Mr Mullender’s attitude to speaking occasionally when listening?A．Critical. B．Opposed. C．Cautious. D．Favorable.3. Why should we be good listeners?A．To be liked and trusted by the other person.B．To check our assessments with the other person.C．To make assessments of what the other person is saying.D．To have a sense of being understood by the other person.4. What’s the best title of the text?A．The Analysis of a Listening CircleB．The Tricks of Successful ListeningC．The Misunderstanding of ListeningD．The Necessity of Effective Listening4. Most people enjoy variety. We like to eat different foods from meal to meal. We wear different clothes. We like to try new activities and visit new places. We become bored when there is little variety. Nevertheless, there’s one place where we tend to dislike variety, and that’s in each other. We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits, or hold beliefs or values that we do not share.There are reasons for this. When we are exposed to new and different things, our brain works a bit harder than usual. When we’re learning, our nerve cells require more resources, such as water, salt, and various other chemicals. This extra metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity can feel unsettling and unpleasant. And it can feel worse if our nervous system is already under pressure, like in the midst of the pandemic.This sort of variation may be uncomfortable for individuals, but it’s critical to t he survival of any species. If all finches (雀科鸣鸟) were identical, for example, and their environment changed in some significant, harmful ways, like an increase in the temperature or a decrease in water, all of them would be equally affected and the species might become extinct. This insight into variation comes from Charles Darwin, and it’s known as population thinking. Most people associate Darwin with his evolutionary theory of natural selection, but population thinking may be an even greater scientific achievement. The idea of “survival of the fittest” implies that individuals must vary. Some are more suited than others for a given environment, making it easier for them to survive, grow, and reproduce. Variation is therefore a prerequisite for natural selection to work.Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can be demanding and even annoying at times, but it’s a good investment, sort of like exercise for your brain. When you meet someone who looks different or thinks differently from you, treat your discomfort as a cue to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem. Don’t hold the view that the other person should be silenced. Ultimately, this mindset can make you more flexible in adapting to challenging situations, and more adaptable to change.1. Which of the following might make people feel uncomfortable?A．Having an adventure in the wild.B．Taking a trip to a foreign country.C．Sharing traveling experiences with others.D．Socializing with people from diverse cultures.2. What does the second paragraph focus on?A．People’s unwillingness to deal with new things.B．The significance of learning new things in our life.C．The biological explanations for people’s discomfort.D．The role of the nervous system in learning new things.3. What does the underlined word “prerequisite” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Requirement. B．Substitute. C．Motivation. D．Challenge.4. What does the writer mainly want to convey?A．Why we tend to chase and enjoy variation.B．How we can benefit from seeking variation.C．How we should treat the differences we find in others.D．Why we should get along with people different from us.5. “Just think positively!”“It could be worse.”“You should look at the bright side!”We’ve all heard (and maybe used) these p hrases without much thought. But they could be contributing to a culture of toxic (有毒的) positivity. For those new to this term, it might sound like an oxymoron (矛盾修辞法). How can positivity be toxic? Isn’t it supposed to be helpful, or “positive”, as the nam e suggests? 1“Toxic positivity is when somebody avoids all negative thoughts or feelings, pretending everything is going well when it is not,” explains Melissa Dowd, a therapist at PlushCare, a virtual health platform. Whitney Goodman, another licensed psychotherapist, describes toxic positivity as the “endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are.” 2 It’s also something we can cause other people to experience.Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse. 3 “Although it can be helpful to look on the bright side when facing challenges,” Dowd says, “not coping with negative feelings in a healthy way in the moment can lead to those feelings resurfacing later indifferent areas of your life or as a form of anxiety.” 4 “If I feel like you’re going to set me aside, I’m going to stop sharing how I’m feeling,” Goodman adds.5 If you’re using toxic positivity against yourself, Goodman suggests remembering it’s OK if you’re upset about something. It’s valid if something annoys you. “Allow ourselves and other people to share when they’re going through a difficult time,” she says. Dowd adds that it’s essential that “we all learn to cope with and process our emotions in a healthy way as opposed to avoiding how we feel” as life’s stressors continue to rise. For example, instead of simply saying “Just think positively,” we’d better say “Sometimes bad things happen. How can I help?”6. A few years ago，I spared a couple of hours from busy academic learning to work in a video store on a daily basis. An elderly woman walked into the store with a younger woman who I________ was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of ________ checking her watch every few seconds.

Still watching the mother, I said, “________ some advice?” “Sure,”said the daughter. I smiled to show her I wasn’t ________. I answered her ________ expression by saying, “When she’s gone, it’s the little ________ that’ll come back to you. Moments like this.
