Four Books Worth Recommending
Driving the Green Book
From 1936 to 1967, the Green Book served as an annual travel guide for African Americans. Award-winning broadcaster Alvin Hall first learned about the Green Book in 2015, and he was immediately attracted. Several years later, he set out on a 2,000-plus-mile cross-country road trip from New York to New Orleans. The result, Driving the Green Book, is a 288-page journey along America's open roads, exploring the country's racial past and detailing the Green Book's life-saving history.
The Last Ride of the Pony Express
In 2019, American journalist Will Grant went on a 5-month, 2,000-mile journey on horseback from Missouri to California. His goal was to follow the historic route of the Pony Express. Grant records his 142-day adventure in The Last Ride of the Pony Express, describing his trip in the company of his two horses, Badger and Chicken Fry.
Elixir
After a decade of living in the Scottish Highlands, native Bulgarian Kapka Kassabova returned to her roots in southwestern Bulgaria's remote Mesta Valley, a rural region known for its wild crops and their vast medicinal properties. Over several seasons, the poet and writer travelled to study the deep relationship between the area's people and plants, as well as with the land itself.
The Life Cycle
British writer and cyclist Kate Rawles has a liking for raising awareness about environmental challenges through her own adventures. Her 8,288-mile, 13-month journey across the length of the Andes Mountains on a self-built bamboo bicycle is the basis for her new book, The Life Cycle.
1. Who reveals America’s racial past in his book

2. Which book concerns the exploration of Bulgaria's Mesta Valley
A. Elixir. B. The Life Cycle.

B
When I was a much younger man than I am today, I was a creative writer. I wrote short stories and poems. I wrote for the pure enjoyment of putting thoughts down on paper. Short stories mostly. For me.
Then I spent 20 years writing professionally as a copywriter. I was using all of my creative energy to write campaigns for everything from Apple to Volkswagen. I had nothing left. My creative well was dry. For the last 15 years, I was no longer writing for a living. Or for myself.
Then one day, I saw a Facebook friend post something about a new typewriter he had acquired, bringing his collection to 12 machines. I immediately thought about the 100-year-old Underwood No.5 typewriter I bought about 35 years ago at a flea market (跳蚤市場(chǎng)) for $25. I never used it. I just loved the look of it and bought it to show respect for my love of writing. And it looked cool sitting on display as a conversation starter in our dining room.
Suddenly, I found myself researching “typewriter repair” online...which led me down a rabbit hole of not just repair people but typewriters, all kinds of typewriters. I now have machines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, so far totaling 15 machines. Each machine is a good example of industrial design from the era in which it was made. In truth, they’re time machines that fire my creativity and inspire me to write again in a way that nothing has done for decades.
When I sit at my typewriter, I don’t get notifications. The only sound I hear is the bell ringing at the end of a line indicating that I need to return the carriage. The real world is a noisy place with so many distractions (使人分心的事物). But all that goes away when I sit down to a machine like my Royal Portable 2 made in 1931. It’s just me and my thoughts, buttoning one letter at a time on a real piece of paper. I'm writing again. For me.
4. What do we know about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. He overused his creativity. B. He preferred to write poems.
C. He stood out as a writer in his 20s. D. He was very productive for 35 years.

C. They have great historical significance. D. They deserve to be collected and preserved.
7. How does the author probably feel at his typewriter now

Some people sit outside for hours without getting bitten by mosquitoes, but it always seems like you’re being eaten alive within minutes of stepping outdoors. In fact, you’re not alone. According to Smithsonian Magazine, around 20% of people in the world are especially tasty to mosquitoes. What about these people makes mosquitoes’ mouths water
It’s generally claimed that mosquitoes prefer certain blood types, but the fact is that they simply can’t tell what your blood type is from a faraway place. Jonathon Day, a professor of medical entomology (昆蟲學(xué)) at the University of Florida in the US, told NBC it’s not complicated. “The two most important reasons why a mosquito is attracted to you have to do with smell and sight.”
Mosquitoes are especially active in the late afternoon. While flying along, they use their sense of smell to find possible targets. They find victims by smelling CO2 breathed out by humans and animals.
Joop van Loon, an entomologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, told Live Science, “Mosquitoes get attracted to CO2 and keep flying upwind as they sense higher concentrations.” As a result, people who simply give off more of the gas over time — generally larger people — have become more magnetic.
“This is why kids don’t get bitten as much as adults,” US professor Ted Rosen told Science Alert. This love for CO2 can also put pregnant (懷孕的) women at increased risks for mosquito bites, as they tend to give off 21% more CO2 than people of the same age and size who aren’t pregnant.
In addition to CO2, the color of the clothes you wear also plays a role in attracting mosquitoes. According to Live Science, mosquitoes can lock onto targets from up to 50 meters away. At this distance, what we wear has a huge effect. Due to their vision, people wearing dark colors are more likely to become targets.
8. Why are mosquitoes attracted to people according to Jonathon Day
A. The sound people make. B. People’s unique figures.
C. People’s smell and sight. D. The sweat people produce.
9. What does the underlined word “magnetic” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Attractive. B. Excited. C. Generous. D. Amusing.
10. Why are pregnant women more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes
A. They breathe out more CO2. B. They are more active outdoors.
C. They produce a stronger body smell. D. They give off a higher concentration of heat.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A How Can We Avoid Mosquito Bites B. How Do Mosquitoes Make You a Meal
C. What Allows Mosquitoes to Live Longer D. What Are Mosquitoes’ Favorite Blood Types
D
“The first domestic geese (鵝) may have lived about 7,000 years ago in what is now China. That may make them the earliest bird to be domesticated,” says Masaki Eda at the Hokkaido University Museum in Sapporo, Japan. Eda is part of a team that has unearthed an archaeological (考古) site in Eastern China called Tianluoshan, which was a Stone Age village between about 7,000 and 5,500 years ago. “Its residents lived basically by killing wild animals and looking for plants that can be eaten,” says Eda, “but they also grew rice.”
The team has now identified 232 goose bones at Tianluoshan, 4 of which belonged to immature geese that were less than 16 weeks old, with the youngest probably less than 8 weeks old. This implies they must have hatched at Tianluoshan, because they were too young to have flown in from elsewhere. Some of the adult geese also seem to have been locally bred (飼養(yǎng)) , based on the chemical make-up of their bones, which reflects the water they drank. These locally bred birds were all almost the same size, indicating captive breeding (圈養(yǎng)) . Finally, the team carbon-dated the bones and found that the locally bred geese lived about 7,000 years ago.
“The main thing that stood out for me is the fact they actually did radiocarbon dating on the bird bones,” says Julia Best at Cardiff University in the UK. This makes the dating much more reliable than if the team had simply dated the surrounding materials. “If geese were domesticated 7,000 years ago, that would make them the first bird to be domesticated,” says Eda. The other candidate is the chicken, but there has been an argument over when and where this first appeared.
A study published in 2014 reported that chickens were domesticated in Northern China as early as 10,000 years ago, based on DNA from bones. However, the bones weren’t directly dated and “a lot of the things they claimed were chickens were pheasants (野雞) ”, says Best. “Domestic chickens only appeared around 5,000 years ago. With the firm evidence we currently have, I think it is true,” she says, but adds that the domestication of chickens is understudied, so the story could well change as more evidence emerges.
12. What can we learn about Tianluoshan
A. It formed more than 10,000 years ago.
B. Its residents were mainly hunter-gatherers.
C. It was a Stone Age village in Northern China.
D. Its residents kept geese as pets and grew rice.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The living habitat of early geese.
B. The challenges for immature geese.
C. The evidence of goose domestication.
D. The chemical composition of goose bones.
14. What does Julia Best tend to believe at present
A. Geese were domesticated before chickens.
B Domestic chickens first appeared in Eastern China.
C. Radiocarbon dating on goose bones was unreliable.
D. The testing of DNA from chicken bones was dependable.
15 What is the main purpose of this text
A. To report. B. To describe. C. To survey. D. To persuade.

Personal letters, especially recommendation letters, hold great significance in various aspects. However, when it comes to using AI to write them, there are some crucial points to consider.
Get personal. ___16___ For example they often fail to vividly describe the candidate’s achievements, character, strengths and potential. This can have a negative impact on the candidate’s application.
___17___ A genuine assessment is more than just listing achievements. It involves looking into how the candidate dealt with challenges and grew in their role, which can predict their future success. The human touch in a genuine recommendation is what makes a letter truly persuasive, and this is something AI cannot reproduce.
On one hand, we can make use of AI. ___18___ It can assist in grammar improvement and transforming our thoughts into a well-written passage. But we should be careful. The core of a recommendation letter is the unique insights that only a human can offer. If both the request and reply of the letter are overly dependent on AI, meaningful conversations might turn into simple copying and pasting.
However, if a candidate receives a letter that is too AI-heavy, they have several options to deal with the situation. The candidate can have an open and honest conversation with the referee (推薦人), politely express concerns about the overly AI-generated nature of the letter and ask if the referee could add more personal stories, in-depth evaluations, or unique opinions based on their real-life experiences with the candidate. ___19___
In conclusion, both candidates and referees need to be aware that a recommendation letter is like a bridge connecting a candidate’s past and future career prospects. ___20___
A. Value personal relationships.
B. Provide a genuine assessment.
C. AI has become very popular in writing.
D. AI can play a certain role in the writing process.
E. It should be constructed with care and reliability.
F. He can also contact the hiring committee to clarify the limitations.

Emily had spent her entire life in New York City. The tall buildings, the crowded streets, and the friends she had grown up with were the essence of her existence. But when she was 15, her life took an unexpected turn. Her father got a promotion that required the family to relocate to Texas. It was a depressing decision as it meant parting with everything she held dear.
With the move came a new school for Emily. Every time she considered leaving her current school, she was overcome with sadness. She was afraid of the changes ahead — the new environment, the new school, and the new faces she would encounter. She wasn't sure if she could adapt or if she would be isolated.
After a long and tiring journey across the states, the family reached Texas and settled down. When the day to start at her new school arrived, Emily's mind was burdened with concerns. What if the classmates were mean and unapproachable What if she remained friendless
The following morning, Emily's parents drove her to school. Her heart pounded in her chest as they arrived at the large concrete building. She hugged her parents tightly, took a deep breath, and got out of the car. With each step towards the school entrance, her nervousness increased. She felt as if she was entering a completely strange world.
Emily was welcomed by a school teacher, who was extremely kind. Noticing Emily's uneasiness and shyness, he decided to give her a tour of the campus first. Emily was shown the art studio, the well-equipped library, and the expansive football field where she thought about joining the cheerleading team. As they walked around, Emily slowly realized that the school was actually quite charming and started to feel a bit more at ease.
Finally, they reached the academic building and made their way to Emily's new classroom, and her heart began to race once again. The teacher led her to the door and gave her a reassuring smile.

Short stories mostly. For me. (在我比現(xiàn)在年輕得多的時(shí)候，我曾是一名創(chuàng)意作家，寫過短篇小說和詩歌。我寫作純粹是因?yàn)橄硎馨严敕湓诩埳系臉啡ぃ饕菍懚唐≌f，為自己而寫)”以及第二段“Then I spent 20 years writing professionally as a copywriter. I was using all of my creative energy to write campaigns for everything from Apple to Volkswagen. I had nothing left. My creative well was dry. For the last 15 years, I was no longer writing for a living. Or for myself. (后來，我做了20年的職業(yè)文案撰稿人，把所有的創(chuàng)造力都用在為從蘋果到大眾汽車等各種品牌撰寫營銷文案上。我耗盡了一切，靈感的源泉干涸了。在過去的 15 年里，我既不再以寫作為生，也不再為自己而寫)”可知，作者年輕時(shí)是創(chuàng)意作家，后來作為專業(yè)文案撰寫人工作了20年，把所有創(chuàng)意能量都用在了寫廣告文案上，以至于創(chuàng)意源泉枯竭，由此可推斷出作者過度使用了他的創(chuàng)造力。故選A。

【7題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“When I sit at my typewriter, I don’t get notifications. The only sound I hear is the bell ringing at the end of a line indicating that I need to return the carriage. The real world is a noisy place with so many distractions (使人分心的事物). But all that goes away when I sit down to a machine like my Royal Portable 2 made in 1931. It’s just me and my thoughts, buttoning one letter at a time on a real piece of paper. I'm writing again. For me.(當(dāng)我坐在打字機(jī)前時(shí)，我不會(huì)收到通知。我唯一聽到的聲音是行尾的鈴聲，表示我需要回車。現(xiàn)實(shí)世界是一個(gè)嘈雜的地方，有太多讓人分心的事物。但當(dāng)我坐在1931年制造的Royal Portable 2這樣的機(jī)器前時(shí)，所有這些都消失了。只有我和我的想法，在一張真正的紙上一個(gè)字母一個(gè)字母地敲打。我又開始寫作了。為了我自己)”可知，作者坐在打字機(jī)前時(shí)，不會(huì)收到通知，沒有外界干擾，只有自己和自己的想法，由此可推斷出作者現(xiàn)在坐在打字機(jī)前可能感到專注且平靜。故選C。

Some people sit outside for hours without getting bitten by mosquitoes, but it always seems like you’re being eaten alive within minutes of stepping outdoors. In fact, you’re not alone. According to Smithsonian Magazine, around 20% of people in the world are especially tasty to mosquitoes. What about these people makes mosquitoes’ mouths water
It’s generally claimed that mosquitoes prefer certain blood types, but the fact is that they simply can’t tell what your blood type is from a faraway place. Jonathon Day, a professor of medical entomology (昆蟲學(xué)) at the University of Florida in the US, told NBC it’s not complicated. “The two most important reasons why a mosquito is attracted to you have to do with smell and sight.”
Mosquitoes are especially active in the late afternoon. While flying along, they use their sense of smell to find possible targets. They find victims by smelling CO2 breathed out by humans and animals.
Joop van Loon, an entomologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, told Live Science, “Mosquitoes get attracted to CO2 and keep flying upwind as they sense higher concentrations.” As a result, people who simply give off more of the gas over time — generally larger people — have become more magnetic.
“This is why kids don’t get bitten as much as adults,” US professor Ted Rosen told Science Alert. This love for CO2 can also put pregnant (懷孕的) women at increased risks for mosquito bites, as they tend to give off 21% more CO2 than people of the same age and size who aren’t pregnant.
In addition to CO2, the color of the clothes you wear also plays a role in attracting mosquitoes. According to Live Science, mosquitoes can lock onto targets from up to 50 meters away. At this distance, what we wear has a huge effect. Due to their vision, people wearing dark colors are more likely to become targets.
8. Why are mosquitoes attracted to people according to Jonathon Day
A. The sound people make. B. People’s unique figures.
C. People’s smell and sight. D. The sweat people produce.
9 What does the underlined word “magnetic” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Attractive. B. Excited. C. Generous. D. Amusing.
10. Why are pregnant women more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes
A. They breathe out more CO2. B. They are more active outdoors.
C. They produce a stronger body smell. D. They give off a higher concentration of heat.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. How Can We Avoid Mosquito Bites B. How Do Mosquitoes Make You a Meal
C. What Allows Mosquitoes to Live Longer D. What Are Mosquitoes’ Favorite Blood Types
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要探討了為什么有些人更容易被蚊子叮咬，解釋了蚊子選擇叮咬目標(biāo)的原因，包括氣味、視覺以及穿著等因素。
【8題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中Jonathon Day所說的話“The two most important reasons why a mosquito is attracted to you have to do with smell and sight. (蚊子被吸引到你的身上的兩個(gè)最重要的原因與氣味和視覺有關(guān))”可知，Jonathon Day認(rèn)為蚊子被人們吸引的原因是人們的氣味和視覺。故選C。
【9題詳解】
詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段“Joop van Loon, an entomologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, told Live Science, “Mosquitoes get attracted to CO2 and keep flying upwind as they sense higher concentrations.” As a result, people who simply give off more of the gas over time — generally larger people — have become more magnetic. (荷蘭瓦赫寧根大學(xué)的昆蟲學(xué)家Joop van Loon告訴《生活科學(xué)》雜志說：“蚊子被二氧化碳吸引，當(dāng)它們感覺到更高濃度的二氧化碳時(shí)，就會(huì)一直逆風(fēng)飛行。”因此，隨著時(shí)間的推移，那些釋放出更多這種氣體的人——通常是體型較大的人——變得更magnetic)”可知，體型較大的人會(huì)釋放出更多的二氧化碳，從而更容易吸引蚊子，由此可推測(cè)出“magnetic”在此處的意思是“有吸引力的”。故選A。
【10題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“This love for CO2 can also put pregnant (懷孕的) women at increased risks for mosquito bites, as they tend to give off 21% more CO2 than people of the same age and size who aren’t pregnant.(這種對(duì)二氧化碳的喜愛也會(huì)增加孕婦被蚊子叮咬的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，因?yàn)樗齻儽韧g同體型未懷孕的人多釋放21%的二氧化碳)”可知，孕婦更容易被蚊子叮咬是因?yàn)樗齻兒舫龅亩趸几唷９蔬xA。
【11題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，特別是第一段“Some people sit outside for hours without getting bitten by mosquitoes, but it always seems like you’re being eaten alive within minutes of stepping outdoors. In fact, you’re not alone. According to Smithsonian Magazine, around 20% of people in the world are especially tasty to mosquitoes. What about these people makes mosquitoes’ mouths water (有些人坐在外面幾個(gè)小時(shí)都不會(huì)被蚊子叮咬，但似乎你一出門幾分鐘就會(huì)被蚊子叮咬。事實(shí)上，你并不孤單。據(jù)《史密森尼雜志》報(bào)道，世界上大約20%的人對(duì)蚊子來說特別美味。是什么讓這些人讓蚊子垂涎欲滴呢？)”可知，文章主要探討了為什么有些人更容易被蚊子叮咬，即蚊子是如何選擇叮咬目標(biāo)的。因此，B項(xiàng)“How Do Mosquitoes Make You a Meal (蚊子是如何把你當(dāng)作一頓飯的？)”最符合文章主旨，適合作為文章標(biāo)題。故選B。

“The first domestic geese (鵝) may have lived about 7,000 years ago in what is now China. That may make them the earliest bird to be domesticated,” says Masaki Eda at the Hokkaido University Museum in Sapporo, Japan. Eda is part of a team that has unearthed an archaeological (考古的) site in Eastern China called Tianluoshan, which was a Stone Age village between about 7,000 and 5,500 years ago. “Its residents lived basically by killing wild animals and looking for plants that can be eaten,” says Eda, “but they also grew rice.”
The team has now identified 232 goose bones at Tianluoshan, 4 of which belonged to immature geese that were less than 16 weeks old, with the youngest probably less than 8 weeks old. This implies they must have hatched at Tianluoshan, because they were too young to have flown in from elsewhere. Some of the adult geese also seem to have been locally bred (飼養(yǎng)) , based on the chemical make-up of their bones, which reflects the water they drank. These locally bred birds were all almost the same size, indicating captive breeding (圈養(yǎng)) . Finally, the team carbon-dated the bones and found that the locally bred geese lived about 7,000 years ago.
“The main thing that stood out for me is the fact they actually did radiocarbon dating on the bird bones,” says Julia Best at Cardiff University in the UK. This makes the dating much more reliable than if the team had simply dated the surrounding materials. “If geese were domesticated 7,000 years ago, that would make them the first bird to be domesticated,” says Eda. The other candidate is the chicken, but there has been an argument over when and where this first appeared.
A study published in 2014 reported that chickens were domesticated in Northern China as early as 10,000 years ago, based on DNA from bones. However, the bones weren’t directly dated and “a lot of the things they claimed were chickens were pheasants (野雞) ”, says Best. “Domestic chickens only appeared around 5,000 years ago. With the firm evidence we currently have, I think it is true,” she says, but adds that the domestication of chickens is understudied, so the story could well change as more evidence emerges.
12. What can we learn about Tianluoshan
A. It formed more than 10,000 years ago.
B. Its residents were mainly hunter-gatherers.
C. It was a Stone Age village in Northern China.
D. Its residents kept geese as pets and grew rice.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The living habitat of early geese.
B. The challenges for immature geese.
C. The evidence of goose domestication.
D. The chemical composition of goose bones.
14. What does Julia Best tend to believe at present
A. Geese were domesticated before chickens.
B. Domestic chickens first appeared in Eastern China.
C. Radiocarbon dating on goose bones was unreliable.
D. The testing of DNA from chicken bones was dependable.
15. What is the main purpose of this text
A. To report. B. To describe. C. To survey. D. To persuade.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了考古學(xué)家在中國東部的一個(gè)石器時(shí)代村落遺址田螺山發(fā)現(xiàn)了家鵝的骨骼，這些骨骼為家鵝的馴化提供了證據(jù)，并探討了家鵝可能是最早被馴化的鳥類這一觀點(diǎn)。
【12題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Eda is part of a team that has unearthed an archaeological (考古的) site in Eastern China called Tianluoshan, which was a Stone Age village between about 7,000 and 5,500 years ago. “Its residents lived basically by killing wild animals and looking for plants that can be eaten,” says Eda, “but they also grew rice.” (Eda是一個(gè)考古團(tuán)隊(duì)的成員，該團(tuán)隊(duì)在中國東部發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)名為田螺山的考古遺址，這是一個(gè)大約7000年至5500年前的石器時(shí)代村落。“它的居民基本上靠捕殺野生動(dòng)物和尋找可食用的植物為生，”Eda說，“但他們也種植水稻。”)”可知，田螺山是一個(gè)位于中國東部的石器時(shí)代村落，其居民主要以捕獵和采集為生，同時(shí)也種植水稻。因此，我們可以了解到田螺山的居民主要是狩獵采集者。故選B。

Personal letters, especially recommendation letters, hold great significance in various aspects. However, when it comes to using AI to write them, there are some crucial points to consider.
Get personal. ___16___ For example, they often fail to vividly describe the candidate’s achievements, character, strengths and potential. This can have a negative impact on the candidate’s application.
___17___ A genuine assessment is more than just listing achievements. It involves looking into how the candidate dealt with challenges and grew in their role, which can predict their future success. The human touch in a genuine recommendation is what makes a letter truly persuasive, and this is something AI cannot reproduce.
On one hand, we can make use of AI. ___18___ It can assist in grammar improvement and transforming our thoughts into a well-written passage. But we should be careful. The core of a recommendation letter is the unique insights that only a human can offer. If both the request and reply of the letter are overly dependent on AI, meaningful conversations might turn into simple copying and pasting.
However, if a candidate receives a letter that is too AI-heavy, they have several options to deal with the situation. The candidate can have an open and honest conversation with the referee (推薦人), politely express concerns about the overly AI-generated nature of the letter and ask if the referee could add more personal stories, in-depth evaluations, or unique opinions based on their real-life experiences with the candidate. ___19___
In conclusion, both candidates and referees need to be aware that a recommendation letter is like a bridge connecting a candidate’s past and future career prospects. ___20___
A. Value personal relationships.
B. Provide a genuine assessment.
C. AI has become very popular in writing.
D. AI can play a certain role in the writing process.
E. It should be constructed with care and reliability.
F. He can also contact the hiring committee to clarify the limitations.
G. AI-generated letters lack the emotional elements a personal letter has.

Emily had spent her entire life in New York City. The tall buildings, the crowded streets, and the friends she had grown up with were the essence of her existence. But when she was 15, her life took an unexpected turn. Her father got a promotion that required the family to relocate to Texas. It was a depressing decision as it meant parting with everything she held dear.
With the move came a new school for Emily. Every time she considered leaving her current school, she was overcome with sadness. She was afraid of the changes ahead — the new environment, the new school, and the new faces she would encounter. She wasn't sure if she could adapt or if she would be isolated.
After a long and tiring journey across the states, the family reached Texas and settled down. When the day to start at her new school arrived, Emily's mind was burdened with concerns. What if the classmates were mean and unapproachable What if she remained friendless
The following morning, Emily's parents drove her to school. Her heart pounded in her chest as they arrived at the large concrete building. She hugged her parents tightly, took a deep breath, and got out of the car. With each step towards the school entrance, her nervousness increased. She felt as if she was entering a completely strange world.
Emily was welcomed by a school teacher, who was extremely kind. Noticing Emily's uneasiness and shyness, he decided to give her a tour of the campus first. Emily was shown the art studio, the well-equipped library, and the expansive football field where she thought about joining the cheerleading team. As they walked around, Emily slowly realized that the school was actually quite charming and started to feel a bit more at ease.
Finally, they reached the academic building and made their way to Emily's new classroom, and her heart began to race once again. The teacher led her to the door and gave her a reassuring smile.

Standing at the classroom door, Emily hesitated for a moment. She could hear the chatter of students inside, and her hands grew sweaty. With a final glance at the teacher, who nodded encouragingly, she pushed the door open. The room fell silent for a moment as everyone looked at her. But then, a girl with a warm smile stood up and said, "Hi! You must be Emily. We've been waiting for you." The friendly greeting eased the tension in the air. The other students soon followed suit, introducing themselves and asking her about New York.
As the class began, Emily felt a sense of relief wash over her. The classmates seemed friendly and eager to get to know her. She actively participated when she could, and her classmates were helpful whenever she had questions. Emily found herself engaged in interesting class discussions and started to see the potential for new friendships. She was excited to explore more of the school and welcome this new chapter of her life. She was ready to face the rest of the day with a more positive attitude. Although the move had been scary, it had also opened up new opportunities.
