was David.He kept walking up and down restlessly,his face pale,and his hands shaking slightly.His head teacher had referred him to me.“This boy has lost his family,”he wrote.“He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others,and Im very worried about him.Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair.How could I help him?There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to,and which no words can describe.Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically（同情）The first two times we met,David didnt say a word.He sat there,only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me.I suggested we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me.Its not easy to cheat in chess,but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually,he arrived earlier than agreed,took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my company（陪伴）.But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,”I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later,when we were playing chess,he looked up at me suddenly.“Its your tum,”he said.After that day,David started talking.He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.He wrote to me a few times,about his biking with some friends,and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something.But I also learned that onewithout any words-can reach out to another person.All it takes is a hug,a shoulder to cry on,a friendly touch,and an ear that listens.4.When he first met the author,David .A.felt a little excited B.looked a little nervous C.walked energetically D.showed up with his teacher 5.David enjoyed being with the author because he .A.wanted to ask the author for advice B.liked the childrens drawings in the office C.beat the author many times in the chess game D.needed to share sorrow with the author 6.What can be inferred about David?A.He liked biking before he lost his family.B.He recovered after months of treatment.C.He went into university soon after starting to talk.D.He got friends in school before he met the author.7.What made David change?A.The authors silent communication with him.B.His teachers help.C.The authors friendship.D.His exchange of letters with the author.C For decades,an organization,called Ulum Dalska,based in a small Swedish town called Alvdalen,hasbeen working hard to help save a language called EIfdalian.Elfdalian sounds nothing like the countrys national language,Swedish,which press secretary Bjorm Rehnstrom said affected the language about 100 years ago.At that point,Elfdalian declined.Ulla Schitt,also a Ulum Dalska member,experienced the change while growing up in Alvdalen.“My parents spoke Efdalian with each other,and with my grandma and my aunts and uncles and everyone around,”Schit said.“But when they turned to me,they spoke Swedish.”Schitt said her parents spoke Swedish with her because thats what was spoken in schools.But people are getting creative in the fight to change that trend.Musicians are creating new songs with Elfdalian.Several childrens books were also translated into EIfdalian,including Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.Additionally,Bjorm Rehnstrom helps run a popular Facebook group that offers courses in the Elfdalian language,where he offers lessons to the groups 1,800 global members from America,Australia,South America,Indonesia,Haiti and Cape Verde.The local government supports the teaching and preservation of Elfdalian.Bjom Rehnstrom said they eagerly paid for a sign that reads:“Welcome to Alvdalen”in Elfdalian.But the national government of Sweden is a different story.They currently consider Eidalian a dialect of Swedish,not its own language.Schitt said every time a language dies it is a sad moment.To her,losing Elfdalian would be an especially tragic(悲剧的)loss.“Its a part of our identity.Its part of our culture,”she said.“And if part of your identity and culture dies,a part of yourself dies.”Getting Elfdalian recognized as a language by the Swedish government,she added,is key to making sure that death doesnt come.8.Why was Ulum Dalska founded?A.To teach Swedish.B.To save Elfdalian.C.To improve Alvdalen.D.To help schools.9.Why Schitts parents spoke Swedish with her?A.They could only speak Swedish fluently.B.Schitt longed to speak Swedish at

becoming more popular.C.Le Petit Prince was translated into various languages.D.Courses in Eldalian are provided to the world freely.11.What does Schitt think of preserving Elfdalian?A.Satisfactory.B.Vital.C.Dangerous.D.Meaningless.D A nurse has fulfilled(实现)a promise she made to her patient four years ago to one day attend her daughters graduation from nursing school.Edina Habibovic,22,graduated from Chamberlain Universitys College of Nursing in 2020.Her mother,Sevala Habibovic,46,died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.“I thought the medical field wasnt for me.Then,my mom got sick and I had all the experience going in and out of the hospital,”Edina toldGood MorningAmerica.“When my mom passed away,I thought,I want to dothis.”she said.Sanja Josipovic,who at the time worked as a home health nurse with Northwestern Medicine in Winfield,Illinois,cared for Sevala inside her home.They often chatted and shared the latest news with each other over six months of care.“She was most worried about Edina because she was young and hadnt finished school yet,”Sanja said.“We are like sisters;we care about and trust each other.She was a powerful and strong minded woman.She wasnt scared to die;she was just worried about her kids and husband.”Edina said her mother lived for being with her family and taking care of people.“When Sanja was working,my mom would still try to make her something to eat,no matter how sick she was,”Edina added.When Sevalas life was coming to an end,she asked Sanja to take her place at her youngest daughters nursing school graduation.“That was the only thing she was going to miss.Edinas graduation,”said Sanja,who is a mother of three herself.She agreed.Due to COVID-19,there was no graduation or pinning
