　　Last Thursday afternoon I found myself going down the east side of the Grunhornlucke， a 3，280-metre mountain pass （山道） in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland， on skis （滑雪板） while tied to the end of a rope.Visibility had disappeared at the top of the pass.As the first in the party I was meant to be leading， so I needed something which became crucial at this stage in the project： a sense of direction.
　　This is my final column on my attempt to master ski mountaineering， after I nearly died doing that activity in Russia in 2017.I am grateful to those who have followed my journey and been in touch.In many ways I am extremely tired， weathered by the mountains.My face is sun-and wind-burned；I periodically think that I am forgetting how to speak English.Much of me is ready to go home.But this project still has a long way to go， with the goal of a ski mountaineering race next year.
　　The focus of my course this week with Swiss mountaineering school Bergpunkt， over four stormy days in the Bernese Oberland， was learning to operate independently in the high mountains.This move has been what this whole project is about.Yes， I hope there will be a race at the end.But more important to me is this idea of developing competency （能力） in one narrow human endeavor （努力） — uphill skiing — as a secret of competence more generally.
　　We made it to the pass， and again roped up for the zero-visibility glacier descent.My glasses iced up；the rope periodically pulled short.But we made it down into a tree-lined valley under a clearing sky.
　　There remain two things I want to do this winter.As my last guided ski tour， I’d like to do the Haute Route， the classic route between Chamonix and Zermatt.The second， and perhaps more important objective， involving as it does the overcoming of both fear and dependency， is to do some independent ski mountaineering.With friends， not professional guides.
24.What difficulty did the author have last Thursday？（　　）
A.He broke his skis. B.He could not see clearly.
C.He lost touch with his team. D.He could not tie a rope by himself.
25.What is the main reason for the author taking the course？（　　）
A.To prepare for a race ahead. B.To finish a school project.
C.To learn a new life skill. D.To see his potential.
26.What is the author eager to do this winter？（　　）
A.Go ski mountaineering independently. B.Compete in a ski mountaineering race.
C.Finish two guided long-distance ski tours. D.Conquer the mountain pass in Bernese Oberland.
27.Where is this text most likely from？（　　）
A.A sports magazine. B.A travel guide.
C.A scholarly book. D.A news report.

　　The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world.This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East， and allowed the exchange of goods， technology， and ideas between the two civilizations.Although merchants could make huge profits traveling the road， it was not without risk.
　　The main Silk Road started in Chang’an （known today as Xi’an）， the early Han capital.Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces.After this， they would face the Gobi Desert， arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
　　The Gobi Desert， the largest desert in Asia， consists mainly of rocky， hard earth.This feature made it easier for traders to travel across， compared to sandy deserts like the neighbouring Taklamakan Desert.Like other deserts， the Gobi Desert is dry and hot， and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.
　　So， rest stops were created along the route， allowing travelers to rest， eat and drink.These places also promoted the exchange of goods， and even ideas， amongst the travelers who stopped there.Usually， the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other.In this way， travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert， which would make them targets for robbers， another danger of the Silk Road.
　　Once through the Gobi Desert， travelers would continue their journey into Iran， Turkey， and finally Europe.Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous， it is not entirely without its perils.
28.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to？（　　）
A.Making huge profits. B.Traveling the Silk Road.
C.Exchanging goods and ideas. D.Connecting different civilizations.
29.Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts？（　　）
A.The desert’s surface was easier to walk on. B.Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C.It was smaller and could be crossed in less time. D.There were more natural water sources available.
30.What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert？（　　）
A.Travelers were offered free accommodation.
B.They were located around the edges of the desert.
C.Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.
D.They were shared by travelers from different countries.
31.What is the passage mainly about？（　　）
A.The origins of the Silk Road. B.The benefits of the Silk Road.
C.The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers. D.The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.

　　In the deepest and coldest parts of the ocean， sea creatures — mainly animals without backbones — can grow to sizes that dwarf （使矮小） related species around the world.The phenomenon is called gigantism.But what is it about deep ocean waters that causes it？
　　In the deepest parts of the ocean， resources are severely limited.Much of the food originates in shallower waters and only a small part of that goes down to the sea depths.When food is not enough， being bigger provides a huge advantage， according to Alicia Bitondo， an expert who studies deep-sea species.Larger animals can move faster and farther to find food.They have more efficient metabolisms （新陳代謝） and are better at storing food.So when something gets down to deeper waters， big animals can consume more and store that energy for a longer time， Bitondo said.
　　The cold temperature in the deep sea can also fuel gigantism by significantly slowing down animals’ metabolisms.Near Antarctica， gigantism happens closer to the surface.In these polar waters， the oxygen concentration is high， but animals in these environments use oxygen very slowly because cold water temperatures reduce their metabolic rates， ecophysiologist Art Woods explained.Because the rich oxygen supply is far more than the animal’s oxygen demand， it’s possible that growth constraints （限制） are lifted.
　　But even for polar giants， there seems to be a limit to how big they can grow.In a study， Woods and colleagues studied giant arctic sea spiders， which can grow to be 30.5 centimeters long.The team found that larger sea spiders had lower oxygen levels in their bodies.Aerobic metabolism depends on oxygen levels in the body， and if it gets too low， tissues will suffer from oxygen deprivation （缺氧）.The declining oxygen level in large sea spiders suggests that something is shifting in the balance of oxygen supply and demand， the researchers reported in the study.
　　While there are several theories about the different factors that can produce ocean giants， no one is certain about the precise mechanisms that drive dramatic evolutionary changes in body size.“We would say in biology that nothing is ever certain，” Woods said.
32.How do bigger animals benefit from their sizes in the deep ocean according to Alicia Bitondo？（　　）
A.They can store energy for a longer time.
B.They can better adapt to darkness in the sea.
C.They can hunt for food in shallow waters easily.
D.They can experience reduced resistance when swimming.
33.How does the cold temperature influence sea creatures near Antarctica？（　　）
A.It leads to constrained growth.
B.It speeds up their metabolic rates.
C.It slows down their oxygen consumption.
D.It makes gigantism happen far from the surface of the waters.
34.What do the researchers find out about giant arctic sea spiders？（　　）
A.They have a higher oxygen demand than normal spiders.
B.The oxygen levels in large sea spiders decline annually.
C.Their size is influenced by the oxygen level in their bodies.
D.The largest spider discovered measured 30.5 centimeters in length.
35.What is the text mainly about？（　　）
A.The impact of cold temperatures on deep-sea gigantism.
B.The limitations and potential risks of gigantism in polar waters.
C.The uncertain mechanisms behind evolutionary changes in body size.
D.The probable factors contributing to the large size of deep-sea creatures.

　　The film can only be seen at a new cinema inside the Science Museum.It’s showing this Sunday with performances every hour from midday onwards， with the last showing at 5 o’clock， two hours before the museum closes.
　　So why not take the whole family to the museum this Sunday？ There are lots to do.Children will want to head straight down to the basement where the computers are kept.I promise you they’ll come away with all sorts of exciting pictures they’ve created.Moving to the first floor， a working steam engine and a life-sized model of a spaceship are among the favourite exhibits.
　　Entrance to the museum is free on Sundays， but it would normally cost $3.25 to go and see the film.To get your free tickets， you should e-mail this program by midday on Friday.We’ve only got a limited number of tickets， so the earlier you e-mail us， the more likely you are to get one.
　　So go ahead with the writing after this song.
第二部分
21.A　22.B　23.B　
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者挑戰自己，學習獨立滑雪登山。
24.B　細節理解題。根據第一段中的Visibility had disappeared ... this stage in the project：a sense of direction.可知，上周四作者在滑雪時，視線模糊了。
25.D　推理判斷題。根據第三段最后一句可知，作者參加滑雪登山課是為了開發自己的潛力。
26.A　細節理解題。根據最后一段中的The second ... is to do some independent ski mountaineering.With friends， not professional guides.可知，作者渴望在這個冬天能夠獨立滑雪。
27.A　文章出處題。文章介紹了作者的滑雪登山經歷，并提及了他接下來的計劃，因此文章最可能出自體育雜志。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。作為古代最出名的商道，絲綢之路讓商人們可以經此掙錢，但也伴隨著種種風險。
28.B　代詞指代題。根據畫線詞所在句可知，盡管穿行絲綢之路的商人可以獲得高收益，但這也不是沒有危險的，且下文講到的危險也都與行走在絲綢之路上相關，所以it指代的應該是“行走在絲綢之路上”。
29.A　細節理解題。根據第三段中的The Gobi Desert ...for traders to travel across可知，戈壁灘之所以較好穿越是由于其地面較為堅硬、好走。
30.D　推理判斷題。根據第四段中的These places also promoted the exchange of goods， and even ideas， amongst the travelers who stopped there.可推知，休息處接待來自不同國家的旅客。
31.C　主旨大意題。根據文章結構可知，作者在第一段給出了中心句Although merchants could make huge profits traveling the road， it was not without risk.，在中間幾段講述了商人們在戈壁灘面臨的困難以及其他危險，最后一段再次強調即使過了戈壁灘，但還有其他危險等待著他們。因此本文主要介紹了關于絲綢之路商人所面對的困難。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要分析了深海水域中生物體型巨大的現象及其原因。
32.A　細節理解題。根據第二段最后三句可知，體型較大的深海生物能夠以更快的速度游到更廣闊的海域去尋找食物，它們能吃更多的食物，將攝取的能量儲存更久。
33.C　細節理解題。根據第三段中的but animals in these environments use oxygen very slowly because cold water temperatures reduce their metabolic rates可知，低溫環境中的海洋生物新陳代謝率降低，減緩了它們消耗氧氣的速度。
34.C　細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中的The team found that larger sea spiders had lower oxygen levels in their bodies ...in the balance of oxygen supply and demand可知，較大的海蜘蛛體內的氧氣水平較低。有氧代謝依賴于體內的氧氣水平，如果氧氣水平過低，身體組織將受到氧氣不足的影響。由此可知，海蜘蛛體內氧氣供應和需求之間的平衡會影響它們的生長。
35.D　主旨大意題。本文主要分析了深海水域中生物體型巨大的現象及其原因。深海中食物資源有限，而體型巨大的動物在捕食和儲存能量方面具有優勢。此外，深海的低溫環境也會讓生物的體型變得巨大。然而，即使對于極地巨型生物，它們也有生長的極限。盡管有關影響海洋巨型生物形成的因素存在各種理論，但目前還沒有確切的機制來解釋身體大小發生戲劇性進化變化的原因。

第一節
A Journey Through Time：
Discover the Wonders of Chinese History
　　Last Saturday， our school organized a fascinating history-themed study tour aimed at helping students connect with China’s past on a deep level.
　　The event kicked off with a visit to a local museum， where students explored a diverse range of historical curiosities and cultural treasures from various Chinese dynasties.Following the museum visit， participants arrived at a cultural workshop and experienced traditional Chinese tea ceremonies first-hand.
　　The tour received overwhelmingly positive responses from students and teachers.Many expressed their new-found appreciation for the historical imprints and cultural charm that continue to shape China today.
第二節
　　Suddenly， Zara heard a strange sound coming from the tree.Zara followed the sound， and her parents followed Zara.The sound seemed crazy.Zara’s heart was beating strongly in her chest as she pushed through the branches of the tree.It seemed to come from underneath a big， leafy branch.Zara lifted it aside， revealing a tiny dog underneath it shaking with cold.Zara hurriedly hugged the dog in her arms tightly to keep it warm.Finally， they arrived at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.
　　“What perfect timing，” Grandma said as Zara settled the dog down by the fireplace.Grandma told Zara that she had been thinking about adopting a dog.But she never expected it would be Zara who helped her realize her dream.Just then， Dad’s phone “dinged” and he received a text message with a video of Tucker sent by an employee at the kennel.Seeing Tucker playing happily with his new doggie friends， Zara smiled and sighed with relief.Everyone was safe and sound.This had definitely turned out to be the best worst Thanksgiving ever.

　　M：Next on the program， we’re offering free tickets to go and see
a film called Greenland.The film， which tells you all about the plants and
animals in that wonderful place， has won a prize at the NATIONAL
FILM FESTIVAL. It’s well worth seeing.
　　The film can only be seen at a new cinema inside the Science
Museum.It’s showing this Sunday with performances every hour from
midday onwards， with the last showing at 5 o’clock， two hours before
the museum closes.
　　So why not take the whole family to the museum this Sunday？ There
are lots to do.Children will want to head straight down to the basement
where the computers are kept.I promise you they’ll come away with all
sorts of exciting pictures they’ve created.Moving to the first floor， a
working steam engine and a life-sized model of a spaceship are among the
favourite exhibits.
　　Entrance to the museum is free on Sundays， but it would normally
cost $3.25 to go and see the film.To get your free tickets， you should e-
mail this program by midday on Friday.We’ve only got a limited number
of tickets， so the earlier you e-mail us， the more likely you are to get
one.
　　So go ahead with the writing after this song.

　　Last Thursday afternoon I found myself going down the east side of
the Grunhornlucke， a 3，280-metre mountain pass （山道） in
Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland， on skis （滑雪板） while tied to the
end of a rope.Visibility had disappeared at the top of the pass.As the first
in the party I was meant to be leading， so I needed something which
became crucial at this stage in the project： a sense of direction.
　　This is my final column on my attempt to master ski
mountaineering， after I nearly died doing that activity in Russia in 2017.I
am grateful to those who have followed my journey and been in touch.In
many ways I am extremely tired， weathered by the mountains.My face is
sun-and wind-burned；I periodically think that I am forgetting how to
speak English.Much of me is ready to go home.But this project still has a
long way to go， with the goal of a ski mountaineering race next year.
　　The focus of my course this week with Swiss mountaineering school
Bergpunkt， over four stormy days in the Bernese Oberland， was
learning to operate independently in the high mountains.This move has
been what this whole project is about.Yes， I hope there will be a race at
the end.But more important to me is this idea of developing competency
（能力） in one narrow human endeavor （努力） — uphill skiing — as
a secret of competence more generally.
　　We made it to the pass， and again roped up for the zero-visibility
glacier descent.My glasses iced up；the rope periodically pulled short.But
we made it down into a tree-lined valley under a clearing sky.
　　There remain two things I want to do this winter.As my last guided
ski tour， I’d like to do the Haute Route， the classic route between
Chamonix and Zermatt.The second， and perhaps more important
objective， involving as it does the overcoming of both fear and
dependency， is to do some independent ski mountaineering.With
friends， not professional guides.

　　The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route
of the ancient world.This passage connected Europe in the West with
China in the East， and allowed the exchange of goods， technology，
and ideas between the two civilizations.Although merchants could make
huge profits traveling the road， was not without risk.
it　
　　The main Silk Road started in Chang’an （known today as
Xi’an）， the early Han capital.Travelers commencing their journey
from this city could take a northern route that would take them across
China’s northwestern provinces.After this， they would face the Gobi
Desert， arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
　　The Gobi Desert， the largest desert in Asia， consists mainly of
rocky， hard earth.This feature made it easier for traders to travel across，
compared to sandy deserts like the neighbouring Taklamakan Desert.Like
other deserts， the Gobi Desert is dry and hot， and therefore the biggest
challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as
well as for their camels.
　　So， rest stops were created along the route， allowing travelers to
rest， eat and drink.These places also promoted the exchange of goods，
and even ideas， amongst the travelers who stopped there.Usually， the
rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other.In this way，
travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert， which would
make them targets for robbers， another danger of the Silk Road.
　　Once through the Gobi Desert， travelers would continue their
journey into Iran， Turkey， and finally Europe.Whilst this part of the
journey may have been less dangerous， it is not entirely without its
perils.

本文是一篇說明文。作為古代最出名的商道，絲綢之路
讓商人們可以經此掙錢，但也伴隨著種種風險。
28. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to？
（　　）
A. Making huge profits.
B. Traveling the Silk Road.
C. Exchanging goods and ideas.
D. Connecting different civilizations.
解析：　代詞指代題。根據畫線詞所在句可知，盡管穿行絲綢
之路的商人可以獲得高收益，但這也不是沒有危險的，且下文講
到的危險也都與行走在絲綢之路上相關，所以it指代的應該是“行
走在絲綢之路上”。
29. Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts？（　　）
A. The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.
B. Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C. It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.
D. There were more natural water sources available.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第三段中的The Gobi Desert ...for
traders to travel across可知，戈壁灘之所以較好穿越是由于其地面
較為堅硬、好走。
30. What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert？（　　）
A. Travelers were offered free accommodation.
B. They were located around the edges of the desert.
C. Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.
D. They were shared by travelers from different countries.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第四段中的These places also
promoted the exchange of goods， and even ideas， amongst
the travelers who stopped there.可推知，休息處接待來自不同
國家的旅客。
31. What is the passage mainly about？（　　）
A. The origins of the Silk Road.
B. The benefits of the Silk Road.
C. The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.
D. The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.
解析：　主旨大意題。根據文章結構可知，作者在第一段給出
了中心句Although merchants could make huge profits traveling the
road， it was not without risk.，在中間幾段講述了商人們在戈壁灘
面臨的困難以及其他危險，最后一段再次強調即使過了戈壁灘，
但還有其他危險等待著他們。因此本文主要介紹了關于絲綢之路
商人所面對的困難。

　　In the deepest and coldest parts of the ocean， sea creatures — mainly
animals without backbones — can grow to sizes that dwarf （使矮小）
related species around the world.The phenomenon is called gigantism.But
what is it about deep ocean waters that causes it？
　　In the deepest parts of the ocean， resources are severely
limited.Much of the food originates in shallower waters and only a small
part of that goes down to the sea depths.When food is not enough， being
bigger provides a huge advantage， according to Alicia Bitondo， an
expert who studies deep-sea species.Larger animals can move faster and
farther to find food.They have more efficient metabolisms （新陳代謝）
and are better at storing food.So when something gets down to deeper
waters， big animals can consume more and store that energy for a longer
time， Bitondo said.
　　The cold temperature in the deep sea can also fuel gigantism by
significantly slowing down animals’ metabolisms.Near Antarctica，
gigantism happens closer to the surface.In these polar waters， the oxygen
concentration is high， but animals in these environments use oxygen very
slowly because cold water temperatures reduce their metabolic rates，
ecophysiologist Art Woods explained.Because the rich oxygen supply is
far more than the animal’s oxygen demand， it’s possible that growth
constraints （限制） are lifted.
　　But even for polar giants， there seems to be a limit to how big they
can grow.In a study， Woods and colleagues studied giant arctic sea
spiders， which can grow to be 30.5 centimeters long.The team found
that larger sea spiders had lower oxygen levels in their bodies.Aerobic
metabolism depends on oxygen levels in the body， and if it gets too
low， tissues will suffer from oxygen deprivation （缺氧）.The declining
oxygen level in large sea spiders suggests that something is shifting in the
balance of oxygen supply and demand， the researchers reported in the
study.
　　While there are several theories about the different factors that can
produce ocean giants， no one is certain about the precise mechanisms that
drive dramatic evolutionary changes in body size.“We would say in
biology that nothing is ever certain，” Woods said.

32. How do bigger animals benefit from their sizes in the deep ocean
according to Alicia Bitondo？（　　）
A. They can store energy for a longer time.
B. They can better adapt to darkness in the sea.
C. They can hunt for food in shallow waters easily.
D. They can experience reduced resistance when swimming.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第二段最后三句可知，體型較大的
深海生物能夠以更快的速度游到更廣闊的海域去尋找食物，它們
能吃更多的食物，將攝取的能量儲存更久。
33. How does the cold temperature influence sea creatures near
Antarctica？（　　）
A. It leads to constrained growth.
B. It speeds up their metabolic rates.
C. It slows down their oxygen consumption.
D. It makes gigantism happen far from the surface of the waters.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第三段中的but animals in these
environments use oxygen very slowly because cold water temperatures
reduce their metabolic rates可知，低溫環境中的海洋生物新陳代謝
率降低，減緩了它們消耗氧氣的速度。
34. What do the researchers find out about giant arctic sea spiders？
（　　）
A. They have a higher oxygen demand than normal spiders.
B. The oxygen levels in large sea spiders decline annually.
C. Their size is influenced by the oxygen level in their bodies.
D. The largest spider discovered measured 30.5 centimeters in length.
解析：　細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中的The team found that
larger sea spiders had lower oxygen levels in their bodies ...in the
balance of oxygen supply and demand可知，較大的海蜘蛛體內的氧
氣水平較低。有氧代謝依賴于體內的氧氣水平，如果氧氣水平過
低，身體組織將受到氧氣不足的影響。由此可知，海蜘蛛體內氧
氣供應和需求之間的平衡會影響它們的生長。
35. What is the text mainly about？（　　）
A. The impact of cold temperatures on deep-sea gigantism.
B. The limitations and potential risks of gigantism in polar waters.
C. The uncertain mechanisms behind evolutionary changes in body size.
D. The probable factors contributing to the large size of deep-sea
creatures.
解析：　主旨大意題。本文主要分析了深海水域中生物體型巨
大的現象及其原因。深海中食物資源有限，而體型巨大的動物在
捕食和儲存能量方面具有優勢。此外，深海的低溫環境也會讓生
物的體型變得巨大。然而，即使對于極地巨型生物，它們也有生
長的極限。盡管有關影響海洋巨型生物形成的因素存在各種理
論，但目前還沒有確切的機制來解釋身體大小發生戲劇性進化變
化的原因。

　　Zara had been excited about the trip.Then she found out that her
beloved dog，Tucker， had to stay at a kennel （寄狗處）.Her family
was almost at the airport when Zara spotted Tucker’s dog toy on the floor
of the taxi.Zara found herself fighting back tears as she picked up the dog
toy and held it in her lap.“This Thanksgiving sure got off to a bad
start，” thought she.She closed her eyes and imagined snuggling （緊
貼） Tucker’s warm， soft fur against her cheek.The next thing she
knew was that Mom was shaking her， saying， “Wake up.We’re
here.”
　　Inside the airport， they joined the busy crush （人群） of holiday
travelers， only to find their flight had been delayed for three hours
because of the storm in Florida.This was turning into the worst
Thanksgiving ever， thought Zara.They had to wait until their airplane
left.Finally， they landed in Florida and waited in line for an hour to pick
up their rental car.
　　The way to Grandma and Grandpa’s house was dark and
stormy.Suddenly， Dad pulled the car over.Zara stared out the front
window.To her surprise， she saw a giant tree completely blocking the
road.Zara complained.Mom suggested that they walk the rest of the way
since Grandma and Grandpa’s house was only two blocks away.Zara
protested and said they would get soaked （濕透） in the pouring
rain.“This was absolutely the worst Thanksgiving ever，” thought
she.Mom cheerfully insisted and said a little rain never hurt anyone.They
all climbed out of the car.Wind and rain hit Zara’s hair and face， and it
was hard to keep her eyes open.It felt as though a giant hand was pushing
against her whole body.

參考范文：
　　Suddenly， Zara heard a strange sound coming from the tree.Zara
followed the sound， and her parents followed Zara.The sound seemed
crazy.Zara’s heart was beating strongly in her chest as she pushed
through the branches of the tree.It seemed to come from underneath a
big， leafy branch.Zara lifted it aside， revealing a tiny dog underneath it
shaking with cold.Zara hurriedly hugged the dog in her arms tightly to
keep it warm.Finally， they arrived at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.
　　“What perfect timing，” Grandma said as Zara settled the dog
down by the fireplace.Grandma told Zara that she had been thinking about
adopting a dog.But she never expected it would be Zara who helped her
realize her dream.Just then， Dad’s phone “dinged” and he received a
text message with a video of Tucker sent by an employee at the
kennel.Seeing Tucker playing happily with his new doggie friends， Zara
smiled and sighed with relief.Everyone was safe and sound.This had
definitely turned out to be the best worst Thanksgiving ever.
