Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2020·北京昌平区五校联考)A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community,
38
Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids’ sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.
Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage，” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”
With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”， the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1，500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”. He’s never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn’t financial，” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。Mickelson为了让自己社区的无床可睡的孩子们能够有床睡觉，成立了一个公益组织“Sleep in Heavenly Peace”。

A．To help the poor children.

2．What do we know about Luke Mickelson?
A．He had his own fish farm.
B．He changed his career from time to time.

A．They showed little interest in it.
B．They were supportive and involved in it.
C．They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.
D．They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded”可知，Mickelson的朋友和其他家庭成员都来帮忙，随着消息的传播，更多人参与进来。由此可知，人们对Mickelson创建的这个组织非常支持，并且积极参与。
4．What is Mickelson’s attitude to the nonprofit?
A．Ambiguous. B．Defensive.

(2020·大连一模)It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Head Start” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into preschool institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing, because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Head Start” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.
To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The fouryear study included 380
38
families who were about to have their first child and represented different socioeconomic statuses, ages and family structures. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.
At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socioeconomic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds or family structures. The one factor that was found to affect the child’s development was the poor quality of parentchild interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.
The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Head Start” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2020·石家庄重点高中摸底)Many Canadians are aware that problems with the nation’s health care system have resulted in a lack of hospital beds and medical equipment, overcrowded emergency rooms, long waiting lists, and not enough family doctors.
Over the last 10 years, the number of medical students choosing the family
38
practice as their lifelong career has been dropping at a surprising rate. When asked why they lack interest in family medicine, the students cite(援引) a heavy student debt load and the long hours required of a doctor who is managing the family practice. As in other kinds of work, young doctors today want a balance between their professional and personal lives.
In British Columbia(BC) this problem is made worse because the province produces fewer medical graduates for each person than any other province in Canada. The provincial government has committed itself to doubling the number of medical student graduates. This strategy doesn’t come close to giving us the new doctors needed each year in BC to replace those who are retiring, moving out of the province, reducing their hours of practice, or dying.
The primary care system is showing its cracks. Ten years ago, 2，030 of BC’s family doctors were providing obstetrical(产科的) care. Today just 945 are performing this invaluable service. Although delivering babies is a “good news” area of medicine, the hours are long, but the reward for bringing new life into the world is modest. It’s no surprise, then, that many of BC’s family doctors are no longer taking on new patients. In 1999, there were 1，420 family doctors accepting new patients—in 2004 that number declined to 599, a drop of 58%.
The foundation of primary care needs to be strengthened. The Working Agreement between the doctors and the government includes a series of primary care renewal projects designed to make the family practice more attractive to medical graduates, improve upon working conditions, and entice family doctors from outside BC to start their business here. Yet still more needs to be done.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了加拿大家庭医生严重缺乏的问题。
1．What makes medical students unwilling to be family physicians?
A．The student debt and long working hours.
B．Long term of study at a medical school.
C．A limited number of places in the medical school.
D．An increasing number of patients and long waiting lists for specialists.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“When asked why they lack interest in family medicine, the students cite (援引) a heavy student debt load and the long hours required of a doctor who is managing the family practice.”可知，学生债务负担和工作时间长成为阻碍医科学生选择成为家庭医生的两大障碍，故选A。
2．What does the text say about family doctors in BC?
38
A．They are no longer needed.
B．They are too few in number.
C．They will soon become abundant.
D．They are rapidly leaving the province.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句“Ten years ago, 2，030 of BC’s family doctors were providing obstetrical(产科的) care. Today just 945 are performing this invaluable service.”，并结合本段最后一句“In 1999, there were 1，420 family doctors accepting new patients—in 2004 that number declined to 599, a drop of 58%.”可知，在BC，家庭医生的数量在急剧下降，缺口很大，故选B。
3．Which can replace the underlined word “entice” in the last paragraph?
A．Forbid. B．Hire.
C．Remind. D．Attract.
D 解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段第二句中的关键词“attractive”和“improve”可推知，画线词在此处的含义与D项“吸引”相近，故选D。
4．What is the primary purpose of the text?
A．To show sympathy for family doctors.
B．To inspire young people to be family doctors.
C．To stress the urgent need of more family doctors.
D．To tell the disadvantages of being family doctors.
C 解析：写作意图题。根据第一段的点题，并结合全文的内容可推知，本文主要介绍了加拿大家庭医生严重缺乏的问题，故选C。
B
(2020·长春高三质量监测)Many people find that music lifts their spirits. Now a new study shows that music therapy can be a useful treatment for depression.
The finding that music therapy offers a real medical benefit to depression sufferers comes from a review by Cochrane, a nonprofit group that reviews health care issues. Some studies looked at the effects of providing music therapy to patients who were receiving drug treatment for depression. Others compared music therapy to traditional talk therapy. In four out of five of the trials, music therapy worked better at easing depression symptoms than therapies that did not employ music, the researchers found.
“While the evidence came from a few small studies, it suggests that this is an area that is well worth further investigation，” said lead author Anna Maratos. Ms. Maratos notes that music therapy might be particularly useful for adolescents
38
who may reject a traditional form of counseling. Some older patients also may not be comfortable talking about their feelings but do tend to express themselves through songs.
There are two main types of music therapy. Sometimes, a therapist will listen to music with a patient and talk about the feelings or memories that it arouses. In another form, the therapist is a skilled musician and will improvise(即兴创作) music with the patient. If the patient doesn’t play an instrument, he or she might be given a simple percussion instrument(打击乐器) and the therapist will play along.
Other studies have shown a benefit from music therapy in the treatment for dementia, learning disabilities, strokes and pain management during labor(分娩). The problem is that there isn’t very much highquality research.“It doesn’t easily attract serious research funding. It’s difficult to do highquality, largescale trials，” said Ms. Maratos.
【解题导语】 一项新的研究表明，音乐有助于治疗抑郁症。它比药物治疗和谈心疗法在减轻抑郁症症状上更有效果，对痴呆、学习障碍、中风等治疗也有益处。但由于缺乏大量研究资金支持，研究人员在音乐疗法的疗效方面无法进行高质量、大规模的研究。
5．Which of the following treatments is NOT mentioned in the research?
A．Drug treatment. B．Talk therapy.
C．Music therapy. D．Play therapy.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“who were receiving drug treatment for depression...traditional talk therapy...music therapy worked better”可知，研究中未提到游戏疗法，故选D项。
6．What’s the attitude of Anna Maratos to music therapy?
A．Positive. B．Negative.
C．Indifferent. D．Neutral.
A 解析：观点态度题。根据第三段的内容可知，Anna Maratos认为音乐疗法值得深入研究，它对于青少年和一些年龄较大的病人来说可能更有用。故选A项。
7．According to the passage, music therapy might not be beneficial to a patient of ________．
A．depression B．learning disabilities
C．heart attacks D．strokes
C 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，其他研究表明，音乐疗法在治疗痴呆症、学习障碍、中风和分娩期间的疼痛管理方面也有益处，并结合上文提到的用音乐疗法治疗抑郁症可知，选项A、B、D与文意相符。文章没有提到其对治疗心脏病的益处，
38
故选C项。
8．We can learn from the passage that ________．
A．a middleaged patient won’t benefit from music therapy
B．patients using music therapy must be able to play an instrument
C．only patients suffering from depression benefit from music therapy
D．highquality research on the effects of music therapy is limited by funding
D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It doesn’t easily attract serious research funding. It’s difficult to do highquality, largescale trials”可知，这项研究不易吸引大量的研究资金，因此进行高质量、大规模的试验是困难的，即高质量的对音乐疗法疗效的研究受资金限制，故选D项。

Wrinkles of confusion spread across Holly’s forehead as she unwrapped the gift from her best friend, Susan. “I...I thought you could use it for something.” Susan’s explanation did nothing to help us understand why a twelvebyeighteeninch dark blue carpet remnant(零头布料) was being presented as a birthday gift.
My heart went out to my daughter. Starting out at a new school had been a difficult adjustment. Until she met Susan, Holly had experienced little success in making new friends.
The whispered “thanks” was barely audible(听得见的) as Holly tried not to allow her disappointment to show. She laid the carpet on the kitchen counter, and they headed outside to play. The extent of Holly’s disappointment didn’t become evident until the following evening when she came downstairs to say good night. “Well, I guess we know how much my best friend thinks of me, huh, Mom？” she said with tears. “I’m so sorry, honey” was all I could manage to say.
The next morning, I carried the kitchen rubbish outside. My heart sank as I lifted the lid of the trash can and saw Susan’s carpet lying there. Hesitating only for a moment, I took it out and brought it into the house.
“Susan invited me to come over to her house tomorrow，” Holly announced as she arrived home from school a week later. Although her voice carried a sowhat attitude, I sensed she was pleased about the invitation. In spite of the number of times Susan had visited with us, our
invitations were never returned and it would be the first time for Holly to go.
38
The next day I drove Holly to the destination. A tall woman stood in the doorway to greet us. The house was shabby but neatly decorated with used furniture. From the chat with the woman we knew Susan had long been separated from her parents and she was Susan’s stepmother. A warm light shone in her eyes as she revealed to me her fondness for Susan. I came to respect this generoushearted woman who had opened her home to a young girl and attempted to make a difference in her life.

As daylight began to fade, I picked Holly up from Susan’s home._________________

Paragraph 1：
As daylight began to fade, I picked Holly up from Susan’s home.Holly sat silently in the car on the way home. After coming back home, Holly sat on the sofa motionlessly, crossing her fingers in her lap, with sorrow and regret written all over her tearstained face. Half confused, half concerned, I softly asked her what happened. Hesitating for a moment, she murmured, “I threw away the carpet.” Meanwhile, large bright drops of tears rolled heavily down her cheeks. I stroked her shoulders and took out the carpet from the kitchen.
Paragraph 2：
I placed the carpet on the table in front of her. In a split second, she curved her lips into a broad smile through tears. She jumped up, screaming in an excited
38
voice, and wrapped her arms around me like a vice. Then she gave the carpet a light brush. Watching it hang in the yard, Holly smiled with satisfaction. She called Susan, apologized for her behaviour and expressed her sincere gratitude. She said the carpet was the most precious birthday gift she had ever received in the whole world.

A．J. shut the door of the truck. “Ready，” he said. His dad started the truck. It was six o’clock and freezing, but the strong morning sun promised warmer temperatures. It had been colder than normal over the past week, and the ground and ponds were already frozen.
“After we check on the cows，” Dad said, “you should have some time to practice roping.” A．J. wanted to enter the rodeos(竞技表演) in which cowboys rode wild horses, and caught cattle with ropes.
The best professionals could break from the gate on horseback, rope a calf(小牛), and hogtie the calf in less than ten seconds. So far, A．J. needed nearly a minute and a half, but he’d only been at it a few months.
The truck bounced down the dirt road. In a few minutes, they turned through the field gate. A．J. pulled a pair of telescopes(望远镜). The black spots of cows on the far hill took shape. The cows gathered around the pond. A．J. guessed they wanted the water locked under the ice. The windmillpowered water pumps sometimes froze, leaving the cows with nothing to drink.
As they reached the top of the hill, they heard extremely frightened shouts from one cow and an answering bellow from another. Dad stopped the truck, and he and A．J. stared at the frozen pond anxiously.
A calf lay on the ice in the middle of the pond. A cow, no doubt the calf’s mother, stood onshore, shouting desperately. The calf struggled to get up but slipped and fell each time.
Suddenly, the morning sun seemed warmer. Too warmer. A．J. knew that the situation was urgent. If the calf lay there too long, she could fall through the ice and drown.
Dad eased the pickup down the hill and stopped at the edge of the pond. “No telling how long she’s been there，” he said.“The ice could be about to melt through. I don’t think we can risk it.”

“But, Dad...” Dad shook his head. “It’s just not safe.”

Paragraph 1：
A．J. watched the calf, whose eyes were wide with fright. “Let me go，” A．J. begged. “I’m light. The ice will hold me. It’s her only chance.” “I’m sorry, son.” Dad still refused. A．J. begged again, “You could tie a rope to me. I’ll go out on my stomach to spread out my weight. If the ice cracks, you can pull me back. Just let me get within roping distance.” Dad frowned but finally said, “All right. Be careful.”
Paragraph 2：
It would be just like rodeo practice, A．J. thought, trying to stay calm. He walked out a few feet onto the ice, then dropped to his stomach and crawled. The ice was thinner out where the calf was. A．J. swallowed his own fear. With frozen fingers, he wound his rope into a circle. He took a deep breath, and then threw the rope. Success! The loop settled around the calf’s neck. He started pulling in the rope. In a couple of minutes, the calf was back on solid ground, where her mother was waiting.

My sister Priscilla and I just came back from a weeklong vacation in Portugal with lots of photos. I’ll remember so many wonderful things about my trip to the cities of Lisbon and Porto, but one experience in particular sticks out, something that happened on our last night in Lisbon.
Before the trip, I put together a very detailed route of places to see. One of the mustvisit places on my list was Livraria do Simo, the smallest bookstore in Lisbon. On our very first day in Lisbon, Priscilla and I searched for it. We found the oldest bookstore in the world. But the smallest one was impossible to find! Back at the hotel where we had WiFi, I looked the bookstore up again, hoping we’d have time to find it on another day. But our schedule was delayed, and we probably wouldn’t have time to look for it.
On our last full day in Lisbon, Priscilla and I took a day trip to Cascais, a coastal town outside the city. We decided, at the last minute, to visit a historic flea market(跳蚤市场). We walked for about an hour, up many steep hills. When we finally reached the market, completely out of breath, all the sellers were closing up. Not to mention that we were both tired and hungry. Priscilla and I argued over the directions. I insisted we turn right, which ended up being another bad decision. We climbed up more steep hills, farther and farther away from any area we recognized. We made another right turn onto a random street and Priscilla stopped to check the map. Meanwhile, I looked up at the street sign, Rua da Madalena. I’d heard that name before. We continued a little farther up the street, and I spotted a few people hanging out in a lane. There was something particularly familiar about the scene. I looked closer. There was a small store practically hidden in the lane. It had books in its windows.

Oh my goodness! The bookstore！____________________________________________

Paragraph 1：
Oh my goodness! The bookstore! The very one Priscilla and I had so badly wanted to find on our very first day. We took lots of photos of it in amazement. Our delight must have been noticeable because one of the guys standing outside the store started telling me that it’s the smallest bookstore in this city! Not until he led us inside the bookstore did we know that he was the owner of the bookstore. Inside this small store, we became so addicted to the books that we completely forgot we were tired and hungry.
Paragraph 2：
Soon, it was time for us to say goodbye. After waving the owner goodbye, Priscilla and I tore ourselves away from the bookstore. On our way back, I couldn’t stop smiling. We had just visited the smallest bookstore in Lisbon, met the owner and taken a tour inside! I couldn’t get over all the little things that had come together to lead us there. If we hadn’t decided to visit the flea market at the last minute, if I hadn’t insisted we turn right...That moment in Lisbon was a beautiful coincidence to us.

Michael sat on the wooden bench outside the house holding a fourleaf clover(四叶草). Michael had believed that fourleaf clovers brought good luck, but he started doubting that kind of power.
Michael was eleven. It had been two months since his mom and dad died in an accident. A widow by the name of Jill adopted him. Michael had a dislike for Jill. Her voice was loud. She also made him do her chores(家庭杂务). Michael felt not as
38
much as a son to her. He dreamed a lot. He spoke little. He cried secretly. He had even been working on a plan for two weeks to flee the house.
That was, until he heard Jill parking her Honda into the garage.
Michael stuffed the fourleaf clover in his left pocket. Before he realized it, Jill was standing in front of him, with a small beagle(毕格尔犬) in her hand. She put the beagle down. It ran to Michael and sat on his Nike tennis shoes. Michael knelt down to pet it. After a while, he looked up：“Is the dog for me？”
Jill laughed：“Of course! You are the slowest little boy ever! I’ve got you a little puppy to make you work faster.”
Michael couldn’t see how a beagle would help with his chores, but he thought it would be nice to have a friend. “Give him a name，” Jill said.
Michael thought for a moment. He saw a big, black spot on his back. That’s it! Spot! “I’ll name his Spot！” Michael announced.
“Spot, Spot, stupid name but it’ll do. Now, you’d better clean the bathroom and finish your homework before dinner’s ready.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Paragraph 1：
Michael ran to the bathroom, with Spot by his side.

Paragraph 2：
Two weeks passed, and everyone could see something changed in Michael. He was happy again. In the school he performed better and made more friends. After a day filled with pleasure, Michael came back to his room with Spot. “Were it not for Spot, I wouldn’t lead such a happy life.” He thought to himself. And then inside his left pocket, he found the fourleaf clover, which was considered as an indicator of good luck. He believed in it again.

Sometimes, good intentions alone are not enough when your attempt to be kind to someone leaves you feeling worse than before.
In a certain store where they sell puddings(布丁), a number of these delicious things are laid out in a row. Here you may select the one which is most to your taste, and you are even allowed to taste them before coming to a decision.
I have often wondered whether some people having no intention of making a purchase would take advantage of this privilege. One day I asked a salesgirl the question, and I learned it was indeed the case.
“Now there’s one old man，” she told me. “He comes here almost every week and tastes each one of the puddings, though he never buys anything. I remember him from last year. Well, let him come if he wants it, and he is welcome to it. And what’s more, I hope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share. He looks as if he needs it all right, and I suppose they can afford it.”
She was still speaking when an elderly man walked up to the counter and began looking closely at the row of puddings with great interest.
“Why, that’s the very man I’ve been telling you about，” whispered the salesgirl, and then turned to him: “Would you like to taste them, sir? Here’a spoon for you to use.”
The elderly gentleman, who was poor but neatly dressed, accepted the spoon and began to taste one after another of the puddings. “This is quite good. This is not
38
bad either, but a little too heavy.”
Among the crowd of happy, richlooking shoppers, the little black figure of the old man seemed pitiful and out of place, and in a burst of kindness, I went up to him and said，“Pardon me, sir, will you do me a favor? Let me purchase you one of these puddings. It would give me such pleasure.”

Paragraph 1：
The old man jumped back as if he had been bitten, and the blood rushed to his face. “Excuse me，” he said, with more dignity than I would have thought considering his appearance, “I do not believe I have the pleasure of knowing you. Undoubtedly you have mistaken me for someone else.” And with a quick decision he turned to the salesgirl and said in a loud voice, “Kindly pack up this one here for me. I will take it with me.” He pointed at one of the largest and most expensive puddings.
Paragraph 2：
38
The salesgirl took down the pudding from its stand and started to parcel it up. Meanwhile, the elderly gentleman pulled out a worn little pocketbook and began counting out shillings and pennies on the counter. To save his “honor” he was forced into a purchase which he could not possibly afford. How I longed for the power to take back my insensitive words! It was too late though, and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be walk away. And that was the last time I saw or heard of him. Now he can never go there to taste puddings any more.

At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin.
“Thief！”
I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked, “Are you Mr.Ram’s nephew, Michael? I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him！”
On hearing my words, the boy was first astonished, but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.”
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much？”
“Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it，” the boy replied.
“Then, I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate
38
the living room with the housekeeper’s photo.

Paragraph 1：
A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students. Fascinated by the gentle sound of one participant, I was wholeheartedly impressed by his wonderful performance and solid strength. As I flicked my eyes up to glance at the performer, I was so astonished to see a thin face, so familiar, yet now lit up with joy and confidence. The “thief”！ For an instant, I was amazed that the kindness I offered to cover the boy’s misconduct would made such a big difference!
Paragraph 2：
After the competition, “Michael” ran to me, holding a violin box. He asked with a tremble in his voice, with his thin face reddening with excitement, “Sir, do you recognize me? The nephew! It’s your kindness that enlightens my life, so does your violin. Today, I can give back this violin to you without regret...” Tears welled up in my eyes. Never had I anticipated that a tiny white lie would inject such great power into others and change their life.

Growing up on a small farm, I lived a life that I took for granted. My father worked in the city as a plumber(水暖工). He was not highly educated, but he was smart, looking at problems in an engineer’s way. He was a man made of leather, brass and chewing tobacco who tried to teach my brother and me useful things, including respect. He also had a temper and was strict with us for he would scold us when we made some careless mistakes. Sometimes, my father seemed like a distant enemy to me and I didn’t like him very much.
One day I came home from primary school and his car was already there. Once inside, I was told by my mother that he didn’t feel well. His back hurt. My father never missed work; in fact, when he came home, he went to the barn to work even more. I remember looking at him secretly around the corner as he lay on his bed in the middle of the day.
Later, my mother told me he got multiple myeloma(多发性骨髓瘤), a type of cancer. As the cancer grows, the person will shrink because the disease destroys the body’s energy and the abnormal antibodies cause problems for other cells and tissue. Bones eventually look like Swiss cheese, and when they break, they may never heal. But I didn’t realize that my father’s time was rather limited and just treated him the same way I used to.
For the last year of my father’s life, his entire day consisted of rising from his hospital bed in the living room and walking to his chair to sit and think. He was predictably in that chair when I came home one day during the ninth grade. I do not remember where my mother and brother were, but the two of us were alone.
Paragraph 1：
He asked me to sit down and what he told me still moves me these decades later.________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 1：
He asked me to sit down and what he told me still moves me these decades later. Lying on the hospital bed, he told me about his life on the farm, his family, his loves, and his heartbreaks. Although he was tortured by the cancer, his inner self rushed out to me in a great flood as if a pipe had burst all of a sudden. He had been speaking for maybe an hour or more and mentioned that he actually felt regretful about being so strict with us.
Paragraph 2：
At that moment, I realized that he was doing more than telling. He was asking to be forgiven. All it took was to understand that was what he needed, and I forgave everything, immediately. The thought of my father being an enemy disappeared, with tears rolling down on my face. I held my father’s hands tightly, enjoying this deep but quiet love. Although he has gone for a long time, I still always remember that moment and the realization that I love him.
