Like many of us, Marilyn Hacker and Karthika Nair were two friends separated from each other by the pandemic (流行病).
They live in Paris and are both poets. Before the pandemic, they spent lots of time on the road. Hacker was meant to be teaching in Lebanon and had to return home suddenly when the cases stared rising. And Nair, who is a dancer and usually on tour, was diagnosed with breast cancer just as France announced a lockdown (封鎖).
“I had gone through chemotherapy (化療) myself some years ago, so it was not an experience that was entirely strange to me,” Hacker says, adding that they both also live alone. “I wanted to reach out and connect with somebody with whom I had something in common.”
The two poets wrote a book together, out this month, called A Different Distance. It includes almost daily poems from March 2020 to March 2021. Hacker says she approached Nair with the idea of writing the book. As the poets responded to each other through poetry over email, Nair says, the project strengthened her friendship with Hacker. “I was afraid of my brain shutting down because chemotherapy was very heavy on me, and the possibility of maintaining a creative teamwork was just so precious.”
Normally, Hacker would like to accompany Nair to her hospital appointments and take her to lunch afterward, but under lockdown, they had to settle for meeting each other online. The poetry details not only of Nair’s illness but of what the poets were eating, reading, or listening to when isolated (隔離). They write of friends and family they lost along the year, and news they were hearing about across the world.
And as a time capsule for the pandemic, A Different Distance shows how healing it can be to hold each other close in times of distress.
24. What do Hacker and Nair have in common
A. They lived with families in Paris, France.
B. They were not influenced by the pandemic.
C. They were capable of writing poems.
D. They felt great for the separation.
25. What can we learn about Hacker during the pandemic
A. She didn’t go through chemotherapy before.
B. She refused to accompany Nair to hospital.
C. She was diagnosed with breast cancer.
D. She wanted to contact with friends.
26. What does the underlined word “distress” mean in the last paragraph
A. Happiness. B. Sadness.
C. Encouragement. D. Loneliness.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Two Excellent Poets: Hacker and Nair
B. A Book Introduction: A Different Distance
C. How to Properly Deal with Pandemic and Cancer
D. Poets’ Friendship and Loneliness During the Pandemic

To celebrate the spring in Rome, they sometimes eat vignarola. Vignarola is a vegetable stew (燉菜) mixed with all things green and new. It once marked the start of the new season after the hungry gap of late winter. But in a time when frozen peas are available all year round, the dish’s amazing spring freshness no longer means as much.
Our modern food system has been able to supply us with the freshness of spring all year round, but before refrigeration (冷藏) and modern methods of agriculture, even butter and eggs were seasonal foods. However, how often do you ever taste something truly fresh If you look closely, you’ll likely notice much of the produce at your local supermarket isn’t quite as fresh as you thought. I recently met a British farmer who produces salad greens. He told me he can taste a huge difference between a leaf that is a day old and one that is three days old and that, by five days, the taste is greatly dulled, despite the leaves still looking green and bright. Because of this, the average shopper is none the wiser in regard to the freshness of produce. The same goes for much of the food you buy. The label says “fresh” but what this actually means is something closer to “not rotten (腐爛的).”
Our entire food supply is based on the idea of “fresh” and “keeping things fresh”. But to keep things fresh is a kind of cheat, because something can only truly be considered fresh when it has just been taken out of the ground or has just been cooked. The “fresh” food and drink in our supermarkets has often been on a surprisingly long journey in the global cold chain before it reaches us. Many refrigerated foods can be labeled as “fresh” even if they are weeks old, and fruit can still be “fresh” after being irradiated (輻照) or after having received a wax coating.
It may be impossible to measure true freshness in food, but you know it when you taste it. A couple of years ago, a friend served me a simple dish of boiled potatoes that were so fresh and waxy that every other potato I’d ever eaten seemed tasteless in my memory.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Supermarkets only sell vegetables that are truly fresh.
B. Supermarkets sometimes invite farmers to teach shoppers how to choose fresh produce.
C. Many people can’t actually tell whether supermarket produce is fresh or not.
D. The British farmer could find little difference between truly fresh greens and “fresh” greens.
29. Why does the author say “to keep things fresh is a kind of cheat” in paragraph 3
A. Because many kinds of drinks are made from concentrate.
B. Because it’s impossible for the modern food system to keep food fresh.
C. Because consumers typically aren’t able to tell whether the food on sale is fresh or not.
D. Because it often takes a long time before “fresh” food appear in your local supermarket.
30. According to the author, what’s the most reliable way to tell whether food is fresh or not
A. Check it. B. Taste it.
C. Smell it. D. Cook it.
31. How does the author start and end the passage
A. By telling stories of her friends.
B. By introducing traditional foods.
C. By showing examples of truly fresh food.
D. By sharing her experience of eating truly fresh food.
D
When we’re trying to decide which cell phone case to buy or which hotel room to book, we often rely on the ratings and reviews of others to help us choose. But research suggests that we tend to use this information in ways that can actually work to our disadvantage.
“It’s extremely common for websites and apps to display the average score of a product along with the number of reviews. Our research suggests that, in some cases, people might take this information and make bad decisions with it,” says researcher Derek Powell of Stanford University, the lead author on the study.
“We found that people were biased (有偏見的) toward choosing to buy more popular products and that this sometimes led them to make very poor decisions,” he explains.
As opportunities to buy products online increase, we can easily get first-hand information about users’ experiences.
“We wanted to examine how people use this wealth of information when they make decisions, and specifically how they weigh information about other people’s decisions,” says Powell.
Looking at actual products available on Amazon.com, Powell and his colleagues found no relationship between the number of reviews a product had and its average rating. In other words, real-world data show that a large number of reviews are not a reliable indicator of a product’s quality.
In one online experiment, 132 adult participants looked at a series of phone cases presented in pairs. The participants saw an average user rating and total number of reviews for each phone case and expressed which case in each pair they would buy.
Across various combinations of average rating and the number of reviews, participants usually chose the option (選項) with more reviews. This bias was so strong that they often preferred the more-reviewed phone case even when both of the options had low ratings, effectively choosing the product that was, in statistical (統計學的) terms, more likely to be low quality.
32. What does Powell’s research show about people’s use of ratings and reviews while choosing products
A. It is always helpful for making smart decisions.
B. It leads to the bias that can result in poor decision-making.
C. It enables people to make informed decisions.
D. It allows users to choose fine quality products out of poor ones.
33. What is the focus of the research by Powell and his colleagues
A. How wealth influences consumers’ choice of products.
B. How past experiences influence consumers’ choice of products.
C. How product quality influences consumers’ choice of products.
D. How information online influences consumers’ choice of products.
34. What do the participants’ choices in the experiment show
A. They show a preference for higher-priced goods.
B. They balance quality and quantity of reviews well.
C. They show a strong bias toward less-reviewed options.
D. They often choose more-reviewed products even with low ratings.
35. What does the author think of using reviews and ratings for buying products
A. It is a reasonable method. B. It is possibly misleading.
C. It is a future mainstream trend. D. It is biased against quality products.

Being able to drive is one of the biggest freedoms in life. 36 They are from Richard Gladman, Head of Driving & Riding Standards at IAM RoadSmart, the UK’s leading road safety charity.
Drive regularly. It’s all too easy to get out of practice with driving, especially if you tend to sit in the passenger seat when you go out with family or your partner. 37
Refresh your skills. If you’re 70 and above and need to renew your license (駕照), or you just want to ensure your skills, then there are lots of courses that can help. IAM RoadSmart offers a 1-hour Mature Driver Course to provide an honest and objective evaluation of your driving. 38
Make a change. If your legs get tired easily, you could change to an automatic car. There are some special adaptations for your car that could be useful. For example, an electronic accelerator (油門) which sits behind the steering wheel (方向盤) lets you control the car’s speed with your hands instead of your feet.
Make sure you’re in good condition. Your eyesight is of significant importance when driving, so make sure you always have your glasses with you if you are short-sighted. 39 Also, make sure any medications have no side effects that could influence your driving.
Be prepared. Before starting a long journey, ensure your mirrors and seat are properly adjusted (調整). Make sure you know your way around your vehicle. In addition, carefully check whether you’ve got plenty of fuel and that your oil levels are right. 40
A. Have your hearing checked too.
B. Plan your route ahead, whenever possible.
C. If overlooked, these little things can cause a big headache!
D. Make sure you adjust all the mirrors before you begin driving.

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Years ago, back in the middle 2010s, I moved to a hillside house and drove down to work every morning at about eight o’clock and came home at around five thirty. Each time I drove by, I would see a young boy at about age 15 and a large dog walking along the road. When cars would pass him on the other side, he made eye contact and waved with a toothy smile. I saw him almost every day, walking along the road and waving at cars. Amazing
On a rainy day, I saw him, along with his dog, sitting at the roadside. I stopped my car and got out to ask what had happened to him. “Nothing. I just want to take a break,” the boy responded. I then asked if he needed a ride. The young boy, Kevin, said, “I’m not really going anywhere, just walking, thank you anyway, sir.” I used to enjoy walking in the countryside myself, so I thought it wasn’t too odd. “In case of some emergency, or if you ever need a ride or help,” I told Kevin, “flag me down and I’ll do whatever I can.” Kevin thanked me and went on his way. Over the following days, each time we met, I would stop for a while and have a quick talk with Kevin, and his sweet dog Randy.
One afternoon, I suddenly felt a voice inside my mind: “Go back home now!” There was still one hour for work. But I asked for an early leave and drove back faster than usual. Again, I saw Kevin walking along the road. But this time he didn’t have his usual smile and was pacing rather than walking. When he saw my car, he violently flagged me down. As I got closer, I could see he was crying. “What’s wrong, Kevin ” I asked.

第二部分 閱讀
第一節
A
本文是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了卡姆登公共圖書館即將舉行的四項活動。
21. D 細節理解題。根據“N. C. Fletcher’s Camden of 1884” Exhibit部分中的“The talk, ‘N. C. Fletcher’s Camden of 1884’, will be available to a live audience and broadcast online.”可知，該活動有現場舉辦和在線直播兩種形式，也就是說人們可以通過不同的方式來參與這一活動。故選D。
22. C 細節理解題。根據題干中的關鍵詞“tai chi classes”可將解題信息定位至Tai Chi and Qigong Outdoors部分。根據該部分中的“Contacting Anna in advance is strongly encouraged ... on the Upper Lawn.（強烈建議參與者提前聯系Anna，這樣就可以知道課程是在圓形露天劇場還是在上層草坪上進行。）”可知，上太極課前，參與者需要確認上課地點。故選C。
23. A 細節理解題。根據四項活動介紹中的時間信息可知，這四項活動的開放時間均不在周末。故選A。
B
本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了兩位詩人因為疫情暫時分開，以線上方式聯絡并完成詩集，給彼此帶來治愈和安慰的故事。
24. C 細節理解題。根據第四段中的“The two poets wrote a book together, out this month, called A Different Distance. It includes almost daily poems from March 2020 to March 2021.”可知，Hacker和Nair共同寫了一本書，書里包括2020年3月到2021年3月她們每天寫的詩歌。故選C。
25. D 細節理解題。因為疫情阻斷了Hacker和朋友的交往，而Nair與她有許多共同點，根據第三段最后一句Hacker所說的“I wanted to reach out and connect with somebody with whom I had something in common.”可知，她希望和Nair聯系。故選D。
26. B 詞義猜測題。根據原文可知，疫情期間是一段煎熬的日子。原句意思為“展現了……時期彼此相依的治愈效果”，heal表示“治愈，治療”，可以推斷出distress帶有“悲傷”“痛苦”“苦難”等消極意味。故選B。
27. D 標題概括題。本文講述兩位詩人因為疫情暫時分開，以線上方式聯絡并完成詩集，給彼此帶來治愈和安慰。D選項“疫情當下詩人們的友誼和孤獨”，既強調了疫情這個背景，也表明了主人公的身份和文章主題。故選D。
C
本文是一篇議論文。文章主要討論了什么才能算是真正的新鮮食物以及為什么當地超市里售賣的大部分食物不能算是真正的新鮮食物。
28. C 細節理解題。根據第二段中的“Because of this, the average shopper is none the wiser in regard to the freshness of produce.”可知，許多人并不能真正區分超市的農產品是否新鮮。故選C。
29. D 細節理解題。根據第三段中的“... because something can only truly be considered fresh when it has just been taken out of the ground or has just been cooked. The ‘fresh’ food and drink in our supermarkets has often been on a surprisingly long journey in the global cold chain before it reaches us.”可知，剛從地里挖出的食物或剛做好的食物才能被認為是真正的新鮮食物，而超市里的食物是花了很長時間運輸過來的，算不上真正的新鮮食物，所以作者認為讓食物保持新鮮是一種欺騙行為。故選D。
30. B 細節理解題。根據第二段內容及最后一段第一句話“It may be impossible to measure true freshness in food, but you know it when you taste it.”可知，判斷食物是否新鮮最可靠的方法就是親自去品嘗它。故選B。
31. C 寫作手法題。根據第一段中的“To celebrate the spring in Rome, they sometimes eat vignarola. Vignarola is a vegetable stew (燉菜) mixed with all things green and new.”及最后一段中的“A couple of years ago, a friend served me a simple dish of boiled potatoes that were so fresh and waxy that every other potato I’d ever eaten seemed tasteless in my memory.”可知，作者是通過展示這兩道新鮮食物的例子來開始和結束文章的。故選C。
D
本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了人們在網上購物時過度依賴產品評價，這可能導致人們作出不理智的決定。研究表明，盡管兩款產品評分相同，但人們傾向于選擇評價較多的產品，即使評價顯示該產品質量差。
32. B 細節理解題。根據第二段中的“Our research suggests that, in some cases, people might take this information and make bad decisions with it”和第三段中的“people were biased (有偏見的) toward choosing to buy ... very poor decisions”可知，網站和應用程序顯示產品的平均得分以及評價數量是非常常見的，鮑威爾的研究表明，在某些情況下人們可能會利用這些信息作出錯誤的決定。故選B。
33. D 細節理解題。根據第五段中的“We wanted to examine how people use this wealth of information when they make decisions, and specifically how they weigh information about other people’s decisions”可知，鮑威爾的實驗想要檢驗人們如何使用大量信息來做決策，特別是他們怎樣考慮其他人的決策。故選D。
34. D 細節理解題。根據最后一段的“This bias was so strong that they often preferred the more-reviewed phone case even when both of the options had low ratings, effectively choosing the product that was, in statistical (統計學的) terms, more likely to be low quality.”可知，在實驗中，因為偏見，參與者常常選擇那些有更多評價的產品，即使兩個產品的評分都很低。故選D。
35. B 推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“But research suggests that we tend to use this information in ways that can actually work to our disadvantage.”以及最后一段可知，人們可能會根據產品的評價數量和評分作出錯誤決定，選擇了從統計角度來看更可能是低質量的產品。由此推知，作者認為根據產品的評價和評分進行選擇可能具有誤導性。故選B。
第二節
本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一些有關安全駕駛的建議。
36. G 下文列出了5個建議，由此可推知，空處填進去的句子應該為文章總起句，由G項關鍵詞“these top tips”可知該項符合語境。故選G。
37. F 空前說到“容易疏于開車”，而這段的小標題是“經常開車”，由此可推知空處應該說的是要經常練練手，不要生疏。F項的“every other day”對應小標題的“regularly”，詞組“keep your hand in”對應段首句的“practice”。故選F。
38. E 空前說到有一個1小時的“Mature Driver Course（成熟司機課）”，由此可推知空處應該會繼續介紹這個課程，E選項“該課程沒有測試，目的是提升你的技能并增強自信心”符合語境。故選E。
39. A 根據本段小標題“Make sure you’re in good condition（確保你處于良好狀態）”可知，空處和前面的“eyesight”、后面的“medications”一樣，與身體狀態有關，A項“還要檢查一下你的聽力”符合語境。故選A。
40. C 空前提到了一些在開長途車前要做的事情，比如“確保車鏡和座位都調整好了”“檢查是否有足夠的燃料”等，這些都可以說是一些小事，可能會被司機忽略，C選項“如果忽視了這些小事，可能會造成大麻煩！”作為段末總結，與上文意思連貫。故選C。
第三部分 語言運用
第一節
本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了威爾和她女兒的回憶。威爾27歲那年，剛結束海軍的服役，帶著當時只有1歲的女兒去上大學。為了維持生計，威爾在商店打工，晚上當清潔工人，有時不得不把女兒藏在壁櫥中。2000年，威爾成功畢業，他的同學都起立為他喝彩。
41. B 考查動詞辨析。1996年，即威爾27歲那年，他成了大一新生。由此可知，他剛結束海軍的服役。start“開始”；finish“完成，結束”；continue“繼續”；decide“決定”。故選B。
42. C 考查動詞短語辨析。前一句提到“enrolled (入學) as a freshman”，可推測此處應該是威爾帶著1歲的女兒去讀大學。go away“離開”；fall through“失敗”；set off“出發，啟程”；get ready“準備好”。故選C。
43. A 考查動詞短語辨析。由“Now that she’s a teenager”可知，這個時候奧利維婭已經長大了，他們應該是一起回顧以前的大學時光。look back“回顧”；cut down“削減”；put in“提出”；count down“倒計時”。故選A。
44. D 考查名詞辨析。由上一段可知，威爾是帶著年幼的女兒一起上學，可推測他們住在宿舍里，因此他們也算是“室友”。neighbor“鄰居”；friend“朋友”；teammate“隊友”；roommate“室友”。故選D。
45. C 考查副詞辨析。根據前文可知，威爾害怕學校不接受他帶著女兒來上學，因此他不敢告訴別人這件事。but“但是”；although“盡管”；therefore“因此”；instead“反而，代替”。故選C。
46. B 考查固定搭配。根據后半句可知威爾在外面兼職打工，可推測這是為了能夠在沒有正式工作的情況下維持生計。make ends meet“維持生計”正確。win“贏”；finish“完成”；solve“解決”。故選B。
47. A 考查動詞辨析。由常識可推測，威爾是偷偷把女兒帶到上班的地方，因為一般工作的地方不會允許帶小孩進入，所以他把女兒藏在壁櫥里。hide“把……藏起來”；find“發現”；release“釋放”；feed“喂食”。故選A。
48. C 考查動詞辨析。根據句子后半部分可知，威爾的工資不夠兩個人吃飯，加上壓力大，所以此處應該是瘦了27磅。increase“增加”；have“擁有”；lose“減掉”；rise“上升”。故選C。
49. B 考查動詞辨析。空處所在句仍舊是威爾對過去的回憶，描述了當時他的隊友幫忙照顧奧利維婭的情形。keep“保持”；remember“記得”；start“開始”；imagine“想象”。故選B。
50. D 考查形容詞辨析。帶小孩去上課這種事情是不常見的，又根據后文“I felt a little awkward（我感覺有點尷尬）”可知，本句是奧利維婭在問爸爸帶她去上課會不會覺得尷尬。excited“激動的”；afraid“害怕的”；anxious“焦慮的”；embarrassed“尷尬的”。故選D。
51. D 考查形容詞辨析。威爾要兼顧學習、工作和照顧女兒，而且收入微薄，這個時期對他來講是比較難熬的。由文章最后一段“I draw my strength from you”可知，這段時期唯一能讓他堅持下去的動力就只有女兒。whole“全部的”；great“極好的”；worst“最糟糕的”；only“唯一的”。故選D。
52. A 考查動詞辨析。由“and then go back to my studies”可知，威爾在學習間歇去看女兒。觀察選項可推測，此時能夠讓他感到安心、產生動力的應該是女兒的睡顏。sleep“睡覺”；eat“吃”；cry“哭”；read“閱讀”。故選A。
53. B 考查動詞辨析。第一段提到威爾1996年進入大學，由常識可知他應該是2000年畢業，并且根據后文的“standing ovation”和“walking up with you”也可推知，此處是在畢業典禮上發生的事情。enter“進入”；graduate“畢業”；come“來到”；work“工作”。故選B。
54. B 考查名詞辨析。縱觀文中對話可知，奧利維婭和爸爸的談話是輕松愉快的。rush“匆忙”；laugh“笑”；sigh“嘆氣”；wink“眨眼”。故選B。
55. D 考查動詞辨析。由后半句“I love you”可知，空處的感情傾向應該是積極的，可以推測女兒對爸爸戰勝困難的精神力量是十分欽佩的。concern“擔心”；hate“討厭”；assess“評估”；admire“欽佩”。故選D。
第二節
本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了移動學習app用排行榜或數字徽章等游戲元素幫助學生學習，激勵學生并使他們專注在課程上。
56. performance 考查詞性轉換。分析句子結構可知，此處固定搭配“have effects on sth.”，表示“對……有影響”。空處應填名詞，前面的“student”和“academic”都用于修飾空處中心詞，應填perform的名詞形式performance，意為“學生的學業表現”。故填performance。
57. to inspire 考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，該處表示老師這么做的目的，應用動詞不定式作目的狀語。故填to inspire。
58. on 考查介詞。此處考查詞組on average，表示“平均來說”。故填on。
59. who 考查定語從句。分析句子結構可知，空后的“chose not to use the app”修飾空前的名詞“students”，空處為定語從句的引導詞，從句缺少主語，“students”是人，應用指代人的關系詞who。故填who。
60. the 考查冠詞。空后的內容是“2023年的第二學期”，是特指，該處應用定冠詞the。故填the。
61. taught 考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，該處為非謂語，句意是“為了測試學生對于課上所教知識的掌握程度”，“things”與“teach”為邏輯上的動賓關系，應該用teach的過去分詞形式taught作后置定語。故填taught。
62. directly 考查詞性轉換。分析句子結構可知，句子主謂賓完整，不缺成分，應用副詞修飾動詞“delivered”，應填“direct”的副詞形式。故填directly。
63. were collected 考查時態、語態及主謂一致。這句話描述的是測試的情況，發生在過去，且分數“points”與“collect”之間為動賓關系，應用一般過去式的被動語態，且“points”為復數形式。故填were collected。
64. allowing 考查非謂語動詞。這句話前面已經有謂語動詞“provide”，因此allow是作非謂語，allow和主語“Game elements”是邏輯上的主動關系，應用現在分詞形式作結果狀語。故填allowing。
65. interested 這里考查的是keep的用法“keep sb.+形容詞”，空處應填interest的形容詞形式，且這里的形容詞修飾的是“their students”，應用形容“人”的interested。故填interested。
第四部分 寫作
第一節
參考范文：
Are Internet Friends Real Friends
Online friendships are a wonderful part of many people’s lives, but as far as I’m concerned, Internet friends cannot be considered real friends.
While it may be easy to communicate with people online, the Internet doesn’t provide the same level of personal interaction and emotional connection. Additionally, the anonymity (匿名) of the Internet can result in difficulties in establishing trust, which makes it difficult to determine the true intentions of an Internet friend. Moreover, though Internet friends seem to keep you company, they can’t provide you with real support.
Therefore, I think people should make efforts to form real-life friendships rather than online friendships.
第二節
參考范文：
Paragraph 1:
“We were just walking but Randy somehow dropped,” Kevin said in tears. “Where is it now ” I asked. “Just at my house,” he answered. We quickly got into the car and drove to his house. It was a small old farmhouse. As we approached, I saw Randy just lying outside the doorway. We hurried to have a close look at it. “It’s still alive!” Kevin cried, “We need a vet!” We two quickly carried Randy into the car.
Paragraph 2:
As I drove to the animal hospital, Kevin sat in the back and kept talking to the dog. Luckily, Randy was saved in time. “Randy! You’ve come back to me!” Kevin said in a choked voice. Then he turned to me and said gratefully “If you hadn’t come earlier, Randy would have gone! Thank you very much ...” Tears welled up in his eyes. “It’s nothing, Kevin.” I patted him on the shoulder. Just at that moment, I realized: There is always a whispered urging in our heart and mind to do something good.

Text 10
W: In one small American city, snowball fights are not legal. Welcome to Severance, Colorado. The town, north of Denver, gets about 100 centimeters of snowfall a year. For almost 100 years, city rules have said it is not legal to throw or shoot stones or snowballs at people, animals, buildings, trees, or vehicles. Kyle Rietkerk works for the town of Severance. He said children cannot believe that it is not legal to have snowball fights in their hometown. He said town leaders have for years told the children, “You have the power; you can change the law.” But no one had tried until now. Nine-year-old Dane Best lives in Severance with his parents and little brother. He has made it his aim to get the snowball-fight ban removed. Dane says he believes the law is out of date. Dane wrote letters with his classmates in support of ending the ban. He says the first person he hopes to hit with a snowball is his four-year-old brother.
