Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Hugging’s Evolutionary OriginsAfter long stretches of social isolation, many of us are longing for the warmth of a hug. Degges-White, a professor focused on social relationships, says that our need for a hug goes all the way back to the survival of our species. When we’re born, we can’t care for ourselves and we need to be comfortable with being held in order to survive. We’re rewarded with a rush of feel-good hormones that come from a nice embrace.When we hug, our brains release the oxytocin hormone, making us feel connected. This connection and sense of community has an important evolutionary role because for humans, the security of our small groups and later communities was crucial to survival. Close contact helped build civilization. We may not know what we are getting from greeting our friends and family with a hug; we just enjoy it. It isn’t until those experiences are taken away that we feel pain and sadness. An elbow bump or air greeting are not enough. Research published in the journal Psychological Science has shown that hugging has a “stress cushioning” effect that may even protect us from chronic illness and infections.When children don’t experience healthy touch, it can impact their development. Kids who didn’t grow up being held, miss out on that sense of safety and protection. They may act out or isolate themselves from those around them. In some cases, the opposite may also be true. Some children may show too much affection, eager for any form of positive attention that they didn’t get at home.Still, to hug or not to hug? That’s the question right now. According to Degges-White, if you’re both vaccinated, go for it; research has shown that the risk of transmission is extremely low. And if you’re vaccinated but you don’t know for sure whether the person you’re hugging has also been vaccinated, it’s still most likely safe.【答案】Hugging has an evolutionary origin. First, new-borns need hugging to survive, for it makes them feel comfortable. Besides, hugging means close contact, which helped to build civilization. When people hug, they feel more bonded. Additionally, hugging helps people feel less stressed and its absence can affect kids’ development negatively. Therefore, huggingis recommended for people who are vaccinated.【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

高考英语专题复习：概要写作5篇及参考答案全套一I’d gone snowboarding in France with my little brother, and what we lacked in skill we made up for in enthusiasm. That day, fresh snow had been falling, and we were in high spirits. We stopped near the top of an off-path section that went through forests. I let my brother disappear into the trees ahead, figuring I would soon catch up.I began to pick up speed when I was suddenly thrown off balance. Just as I was regaining control, I ran into the trunk (树干) of a large tree.It was like hitting a solid wall. The pain was instant. I knew immediately that my back was broken and quickly realized the situation could get very serious. Nobody would be coming past. There was no phone signal. It was snowing and cold. If I waited, I would probably be rescued eventually. But the chance of freezing to death before that happened was too high for me to risk staying put.I tried to stand but fell down and almost blacked out with pain. I managed to get the board off from my feet and moved it under my stomach so I was lying on it. I faced down the mountain and used the board to slowly drag and slide my body down the steep (陡峭的), tree-lined slope (斜坡).It took about two hours before a skier found me and I got help. The mountain rescue team came, with my brother arriving shortly afterwards.I couldn’t feel my hands or my toes from the cold, but the relief at knowing I was safe was immense (极大的).A helicopter took me to hospital. I had broken one of my backbones, so I had an operation where the doctors inserted plates. The constant pain was agonizing, but it wasn’t as bad as seeing the pain and worry I put my family through.The recovery road was tough, but I was lucky. Gradually, I was able to walk, then swim, then cycle and then run. I haven’t been back to the slopes yet, but it might happen someday –I will, however, be sticking to the paths.Summary writing 概要写作Please write a summary of the article in about 60 words.参考答案I went snowboarding with my brother but didn’t expect that I would have a bad accident. I lost balance and hit the trunk of a tree while catching up to my brother and injured my back. Aware that things would get worse if I waited, I placed myself on the board and slid to the bottom of the slope. I was eventually rescued. Now that I have recovered, I might go back to challenge myself again.。

浙江高考英语概要写作真题汇总及评分标准(附参考范文)
1.概要写作真题阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
(2019年6月浙江卷) Parents everywhere praise their kids. Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids, says, “We’ve gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to be more strict.” By giving kids a lot of praise, parents think they’re building their children’s confidence, when, in fact, it may be just the opposite. Too much praise can backfire a nd, when given in a way that’s insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents’ praise has put them.Still, don’t go too far in the other direction. Not giving enough praise ca n be just as damaging as giving too much. Kids will feel like they’re not good enough or that you don’t care and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward. “We should especially recognize our children’s efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a goal,” says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What Really Matters. “One thing to remember is that it’s the process not the end product that matters.”Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team. But if he’s out there every day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses. Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when she has worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report. But whatever it is, praise should be given on a case-by-case basis and be proportionate (相称的) to the amount of effort your child has put into it.参考答案One possible version:Prais ing can build up children’s confident, while too much praise may have opposite effects on children. (要点1) Besides, less praise also does harm to kids’ development. (要点2) To gain the best result, our praise should be sincere and focus on the process instead of the end product. (要点3) In a word, praise should be in line with facts and match the children’s efforts. (要点4)(2018年11月浙江卷) It’s a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all start to look and sound the same. Nothing will give you the sense of what it will actually be like to live on a college campus (校园) like visiting and seeing for yourself the dorms, classrooms and athletic equipment and, of course, the students. It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the time to visit college campuses, and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away. But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next four years of your life, and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one.There’s no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area. In fact, a lot of college applications even ask if you have visited campus, and obviously, if you live across the country that won’t b e as much of a possibility, but if you live nearby, go check it out!If campus visits aren’t going to happen before you apply, at the very least you should find some time between applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools you’d like to attend. It can save you a lot of heartache if you rule out now the things that you don’t like about certain campuses, things that you wouldn’t know unless you actually visit.Now, if time and money are making it impossible, then check out the online college fairs at CollegeWeekLive. It’s a chance to chat online with admissions officers, students, and college counselors (顾问), and it won’t cost you a penny! You can register for its online college fair at . While visiting an o nline college fair can’t take the place of an actual campus visit, it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will help you make an informed decision about which colleges or universities you’d like to attend.参考答案One possible version:It is a wise choice for you to pay a visit to your desired colleges personally before applying. (要点1) In order to avoid being regretful, you should at least visit the college you decided to attend in advance. (要点2) For students who are short of money and time, it will be helpful to search the online college fairs at CollegeWeekLive where you can get the necessary information. (要点3)(考试说明样题) Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit (好处) of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18 century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter (后者) position is gaining some ground.参考答案One possible version1:People have mixed opinions towards dirt on our skin. (要点1) For a long time in history, people of some European countries, such as France, believed that dirt protected people from getting ill. (要点2) However, people began to change their attitudes to dirt about 200 years ago.People have been told that washing dirt off our body can keep us healthy. (要点3) However, some scientists believe that exposure to some dirt may help our immune system. (要点4)参考答案One possible version2:浙江省英语教研员葛炳芳老师在关于新高考读后续写和概要写作的指导性讲座中，分享了自己写的样题的概要范文：Attitudes towards dirt have been changing over time. In the 16th century, people believed that dirt on the skin helped protect against disease. Since the 18th century, however, people have developed the belief that cleaning away dirt can prevent disease. Today, although attitudes to dirt still differ sharply, more and more people choose to believe that playing in the dirt can help build up a strong immune. (60 words)对照上述评分原则，可以发现此范文：（1）精确地表达了文本所有4个要点，并且对文本的内容进行了归纳、提炼和整合；（2）准确地使用了相应的语法结构和词汇，例如在表达“持有某种观点”这一意思的时候，选用了三个不同的表达方法“believe”，“develop the belief”，“choose to believe”，避免了重复；（3）上下文之间用了恰当的连接词“however”，“although”等，使行文紧凑浑然一体；（4）对文中的要点运用语义转换，完全使用自己的语言来表达；例如要点1用Attitudes towards dirt have been changing代替原文第一段的第二句话there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt；要点2用protect against disease 代替block out against；要点3中用prevent disease代替is good for health；要点4用today代替nowadays，用sharply 代替hugely，用more and more people choose to believe 代替gaining some ground；（5）全文60词，非常符合词数要求。
热点02 概要写作(新高考题型)(解析版)
新高考英语科目考试题型有重大变化，其中英语写作分为两部分：第一节为应用文写作；第二节为读后续写或概要写作。
概要写作是综合考查考生的阅读能力和写作能力的题型。
概要写作的体裁以说明文和议论文为主，主要考查考生把握文章整体结构和概括文章主旨大意的能力，同时考查考生准确获取关键信息以及用简洁的语言概括文章重要信息的能力。
考生掌握“概括、重组、成篇——黄金三步法”原则，助你轻松赢高分。
第一部分“5步”写作技法——做到信息提取“准”、要点概况“全”一、是什么——“概要写作”题型解读(一)“3个”命题特点体裁说明文、议论文、记叙文结构分总、总分、总分总、并列要点4个左右、准确、客观、衔接自然、内容连续概要写作的考查形式为：提供一篇350词以内的短文，要求考生基于该短文写出一篇60词左右的内容概要。
所选材料体裁没有限制，以说明文、议论文和记叙文为主。
考生需要在理解文章、把握文章中心思想的基础上进行信息整合，故该题型考查学生的综合语言运用能力，即阅读能力、分析查找能力、逻辑思维能力、理解判断能力及提炼概括能力等。
因此，概要写作是基于阅读理解和写作，是二者的有机结合体，也是阅读理解和写作的沟通桥梁。
(二)“五档”评分标准档次描述第五档(21－25分) ——理解准确，涵盖全部要点。
——能准确使用相应的语法结构和词汇。
热点02 书面表达概要写作二、怎么办——“5步”写作技法指导第一步：读文章——知晓体裁、明确主旨进行概要写作时，首先要阅读所提供的文章。
阅读文章的目的就是要确定文章的体裁和主题。
根据近几年浙江高考真题来看，所考查的概要写作原文多是议论文或说明文。
如：2019年6月浙江高考的概要写作原文是议论文，主题是父母应表扬孩子做事过程中的努力而非结果。
2018年11月浙江高考的概要写作原文是说明文，主题是报考大学之前要进行实地考察。
概要写作的三种体裁的结构如下：1、说明文：（1）引言（2）正文（3）结尾2、议论文：（1）引论（2）本论（3）结论3、记叙文：（1）引言（2）正文（3）结尾第二步：析结构——划分段落、确定要点阅读完概要写作所提供的文章后，应迅速分析一下文章的结构。

The production of fine art is the use of skill and imagination to create aesthetic objects or experiences which can be shared with other people.Photography is thought by some to be a form of fine art; however, others claim that photography is not.Those who believe that photography is not a form of art present several arguments.They claim a photograph is nothing but an objective record of a particular place at a particular time.Therefore, any beauty that is perceived in the picture is the beauty of the time and place where it was taken, and is not the creation of the photographer.They also argue that sophisticated and expensive equipment often plays a greater role in the success of a photograph than the photographerʼs creativity.Even some of the greatest photographers acknowledge that there is a limit to the amount of influence they can have on a final product.However, there are also many reasons why photography is appreciated on the same level as other recognized forms of visual art.The decisions involved in creating a photograph are analogous to those made by any other artist.A photograph is not just a banal record of the world, but a deliberately created image with its own artistic features.Ansel Adams, the American photographer, commented on this point when he noted: “You donʼt take a photograph, you make it.” There is a growing trend for photographers to call themselves artists and their photos are sold for millions of dollars.However, these high prices may not be enough to change peopleʼs perceptions of whether photography is art.The arguments about whether photography is art have been discussed since the earliest cameras were used.The creative process involved in taking a fine photograph, deciding what, when and how the picture should be taken, is certainly similar to the process of making fine art.However, cameras are also increasingly used to take photographs for non-artistic functions.Although we cannot say that photography itself is necessarilyart, we can certainly see that it is a medium that can be used to make art.【范文】Opinions vary from person to person on whether photography should be considered a fine art.Some are against it because they think it is just an objective record and the photographerʼs creativity isnʼt reflected.However, others are in favor of it.They think photograph is a deliberately created image.All in all, photography is a medium used to make art.B(2024·高考三轮冲刺卷)阅读下面短文，依据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

概要写作1：蜜蜂的分类和职能阅读下面短文，根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Bees are very strange creatures. They have their own way of telling each other that they have found a new flower. They bring some of its nectar (花蜜) back home and then do a little dance that shows where the flower is and how far away it is.In autumn the worker bees go out and collect as much nectar and pollen (花粉) as they can carry. Then they return to make honey and store it for the long cold winter.Bees build their own houses but they do not always have round tops like people draw them in storybooks. They are usually five storeys high. The queen bee always has the bottom storey. In between the bottom storey and all the rest there are bars only just wide enough for the workers to pass through. The queen bee can never go up to the other floors because she is bigger than all the other bees. The storeys the queen can’t enter are where the store rooms are. There are rooms for pollen, nectar and royal jellies (蜂王浆). If there is a fire the workers have to cover the walls and entrance of the rooms. They have to move the honey and the nectar and pollen away from the hot walls of the room.The queen is the only that can lay eggs. She mates with a male bee called a drone. Once the queen has laid the eggs she throws the drone out because a drone just sits around eating honey and nectar. He cannot go out and collect pollen because drones do not have pollen-carrying things on their legs like the workers have.Young bees are called nurses because they have to nurse the newborn bees whether they like it or not. What a bee ends up being when it grows up depends on what it eats. If it is to be a queen it must feed on royal jellies and it must never, ever set eyes on another queen. If it does they must fight till only one of them is still alive.【答案】Bees are weird animals and have a unique way to communicate with one another (要点1). Worker bees work tirelessly to store food (要点2). Unlike worker bees, the relaxing queen bee takes up the bottom storey of the five-storey house (要点3). She even deserts the drone after she finishes using him (要点4). Same as worker bees, young bees need to work to care for newborn bees, but they can only leave their futures to what they eat.

高考英语写作专题复习：概要写作 练习题6篇(含答案)
高考英语写作专题复习：概要写作练习题6篇一I’ve been taking time this week to smell the roses. Literally. I bend over in my neighbors’front yard, check that nobody is watching, then bury my head in the flowers.I’ve also been walking into bakeries and walking around without buying anything.After having surgery (外科手术) on my broken nose 18 months ago, I haven’t been able to smell or taste things.This week, however, my nose is back in business.I’ve been overwhelmed by smells, and it’s given me a new way of thinking. Scent is just one of the little bits and pieces that make life enjoyable, but which we often ignore. I remember once, when my son was 5 months old, I was carrying him down the street. Wind swept through and almost tipped us over. He threw his little head back and giggled (傻笑). He’d never felt the wind on his face. When is the last time I laughed at the weather?The first time I ate bacon, I rushed home to my parents, determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal. My father smiled and agreed.Do you recall when you learned that the voice actors of Mickey and Minnie Mouse were married in real life? Do you enjoy sleeping in new, clean bedsheets? Is there someone on the radio whose voice is as smooth as velvet (天鹅绒)?We don’t write postcards about the small things. We don’t frame them in photographs. They aren’t that great or grand, but without them, life is altogether too loud. These quiet experiences give us a chance to enjoy the simple fact of being alive.As my sense of smell returns to me, it’s like I’m smelling things for the first time. They’re full of memories and magic. Food tastes better, and the air is indeed sweet. I know what the poets mean now. It almost makes my broken nose worthwhile. Now, I am waiting for this bandage to come off. There’s an itch (痒) I can’t reach!Summary writing 概要写作Please write a summary of the article in about 60 words.参考答案possible versionI lost my sense of smell after surgery months ago. However, this week, my sense of smell is back along with a new way of thinking. Through recalling the bits and pieces in life and enjoying small things here and there, I realize we can’t ignore the small things –they are what makes us fully alive.二I’ve always been sorry that I don’t know more about the stars and galaxies.I was especially sorry a few weeks ago when I went out early one morning and saw a bright light in the eastern sky. It was so brilliant that I wondered if it was a UFO.I Googled it when I went back inside. It was Venus.I am envious of people who can confidently point out the Big Dipper (北斗七星) and the Little Dipper (小北斗七星). Sometimes I think I’ve found them, but then I link all the stars and wind up with something different.Someone who lives in the country where stars shine brightly in the dark showed me where the family watches the space station at night.“It starts over there,”she said, pointing to the top of a tree. “It crosses this way,”her finger drawing overhead (在空中), “and we lose sight of it over there at the top of that tree.”Maybe that’s what I need for looking at stars: a house in the country and enough space to watch the sky.I had an opportunity to learn about the stars as a kid when I went to a two-week summer space camp. We made paper planets and astronaut helmets from empty ice cream containers. My most vivid memory of space camp is the smell of mint (薄荷) chocolate chip.I’ve always wanted to learn about astronomy but somehow never have. The first obstacle is overcoming the embarrassment of checking out children’s books from the library. The second obstacle is that my poor sense of direction on land is multiplied (乘以) 500 times in space.I am finally getting serious about the stars having downloaded the SkyView Lite app. I trained it on that early morning eastern sky four days running, and it confirmed (确认) the bright light as Venus.“I’ve found Venus!”I shouted to all the sleeping neighbors.Progress is slow, but I now know the North Star is part of the Little Dipper. There’s rarely a night when I don’t look at the stars and wonder –if there’s mint chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer.Summary writing 概要写作Please write a summary of the article in about 60 words.参考答案possible versionI’ve always been regretful about my knowledge of astronomy. I have always longed to learn about it but never practiced it due to my embarrassment of going to the library to check out children’s books and my poor sense of direction. However, after downloading the SkyView Lite app, I made up my mind to take learning about stars seriously. Now I look at stars nearly every night and make slow progress.三One of my grandchildren sent a self-portrait (自画像) she created for art class.

高考英语专题复习：概要写作四篇及答案一I’m about to begin my fifth season of tree planting. Each year, around this time, I have mixed feelings about the job. Never have I loved a job so much while hating it with equal measure. Before a season, after living in the coziness of my home for the winter months, I begin to romanticize and crave (渴望) the challenges of life in the bush.I mainly plant trees on the coast of British Columbia (英属哥伦比亚，加拿大西部之一省) and get paid between 25 and 45 cents a tree. The job can be profitable: It gives planters the opportunity to lead a roaming (漫游的) lifestyle, with a temporary obligation to spend a few months filling their bank accounts. But there are many challenges.In the early hours of the morning, we join our teams and travel along rough (崎岖不平的) roads deep into the woodlands. During the ride, we prepare ourselves for the difficult challenges that lay ahead.When stepping out of the trucks, often in the pouring rain, we’re faced with a steep chunk (块) of land that’s just been logged (砍伐). I step into the rain and fill my bags with hundreds of tiny trees. The conversations with my team become strategic with a few jokes to boost(改善) the mood. Seasoned tree-planters treat this more like a sport than a job, and competition fills the air.Once our bags are full, we suppress (抑制) any reluctance and charge up that hillside. We jump from log to log, and if they roll out from under our feet, we grab (抓住) onto branches –or anything within reach –and swing (摇摆) around like monkeys. We push through stinging (带刺的) bushes. We stumble (跌跌撞撞) and fall constantly, always pushing ourselves to go faster among groups of insects that we often breathe in.While tree planting, I am confronted with someone else; a self I thought I knew. It is a person I try to come to peace with on those hillsides, during those strange days of isolation (隔绝) and deep thinking.Tree planting is a laboratory of self-examination and growth. You master your mind, confronting the worst and the best in your nature, pushing yourself as hard as you can. A new version (版本) of yourself awaits at the end of the experience.Summary writing 概要写作Please write a summary of the article in about 60 words.参考范文I have mixed feelings about tree planting. This job can be profitable as well as challenging. When I plant trees, I’m confronted with another me. Tree planting brings self-examination and growth, and you must push yourself as hard as you can. Finally, a new version of you appears.二I was with my mom one day as we took a walk while window shopping. We both knew we wouldn’t be buying much.I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore five-inch heels and bright clothing. Men wore expensive scents (香水) and creams that wiped away (擦去) the wrinkles (皱纹) on their faces.An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I could deny it no longer; I was ashamed of my mother.We were in a high-class neighborhood –I knew that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment building at the edge of our county. Mom chose to move there because she knew the schools were good. I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there.I could see the heavy lines around mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap clothes and worn-out shoes. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet, and her hair was too gray for her age.My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment, she stood out because she was just so plain. I didn’t want to be seen with her, althoughthere was no one important around to see me anyway. I felt embarrassed about being at her side.We were standing in the middle of a high-end store, and mom was holding a sweater.She said, “This will look good on you. Do you want it?”It was much too expensive, but I almost thoughtlessly answered “yes”.Then I took a closer look at the small, tired woman with a big smile and a sweater in her hands, happy to be giving me something so nice. My words died in my throat.Her clothes were worn and old because she spent her money buying me new ones. She looked so tired because she was busy working to provide for (供养) me. She didn’t wear jewelry or perfumes because she was content with spending what little money she had on me.Suddenly, mother was beautiful and extraordinarily wonderful in my eyes.I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself.“Do you want it?”my mom repeated.“No, thanks.”Summary writing 概要写作Please write a summary of the article in about 60 words.参考答案I used to feel ashamed of my mother because she was ordinary .But I found she was wonderful because she loved me so much .She was content with spending little on herself but was willing to spend more on me .I regretted being ashamed of her and loved her .三Skateboarding has been my life since I was 8 years old. Before I knew how to stand up, I would sit on my cousin’s old board and roll down the hills of Cáceres, my hometown in Spain.When I was at university, I heard about Skate-Aid, an organization that builds skate parks for children in disadvantaged communities (群体). I’ve always wanted to make a positive impact on the world, and if there were a way to do that through skateboarding, I would be there.I got a call in early 2019 that the next project would be in Syria. I was anxious. We flew to Lebanon (黎巴嫩) and drove from Beirut to Damascus (大马士革，叙利亚首都). We stopped at checkpoints (检查站) every few minutes. I didn’t understand Arabic, and all the men I could see were armed.Our destination was Qudsaya, a city 7 kilometers west of Damascus. Damage from the war was everywhere: roads were cracked (砸开) andbuildings were covered in holes from shooting (枪击), in which birds had built nests.We were building a skate park in an area that had been largely destroyed, except for a small structure (建筑物) where a family of five was living. They’d fled their home in the north. The mother was so welcoming, bringing us tea and coffee every morning.It took 28 days to build the park. We’d get up early and spend all day working. This was going to be Syria’s first skate park, and many people wanted to help.The kids would watch us skating down the street and were so excited. When we finished the bowl (碗池), I put them on a board one by one, and they were amazed by the feeling of rolling along. One boy was a natural (天才). He had never skated before, but within a week he was already skating well.We stayed for two months. I keep in touch with the kids, and they send me videos of the tricks they’ve learned. When we left, there were 400 children going to the park every day. I’ve been to so many countries, but Syria was special. I’ll go back as soon as I can.Summary writing 概要写作Please write a summary of the article in about 60 words.参考范文：Skateboarding has been my life since I was a child.

They began when my teenaged stepson became ill. His autoimmune disease (自身免疫性疾病) led to kidney (肾) failure and an ongoing (持续的) need for treatment (治疗).As anyone who has cared for a sick child knows, the stress doesn’t go away. And there was so much stress. My husband and I were exhausted, and it was as if we forgot how to communicate –we couldn’t have a simple conversation without fighting. Our once-happy home had become tense (紧张的) and unhappy.In a rare event of communication, my stepson and I were discussing Valentine’s gifts. I recalled (回想起) that his dad gave me a kazoo (卡祖笛) for our first Valentine’s Day.My reaction to this gift was embarrassment when I, a professional saxophone (萨克斯) player, couldn’t get it to make a sound. The kazoo eventually got packed away and forgotten.But he was interested and asked to see it. After some trouble, I found it.“You couldn’t get a sound?”he asked, amazed, turning it around in his hands. “What’s so hard about it?”“I don’t know. It just never worked.”My husband grabbed (抓住) the kazoo –“It’s easy! Look, you just do this …”–and blew. Nothing happened. Surprised, he tried again. Still there was no sound.Frustrated (挫败的), he tried again, only to produce a sound like an angry bumblebee (大黄蜂) trapped in the mouth of a bear.My stepson burst into laughter.Seeing his face light up like that was wonderful. Soon, we were all laughing to the point of tears.It was as if the gloom (阴郁) had lifted, and a ray of sunshine was let in. Eyes met and souls reconnected. My stepson took a turn on the kazoo. He did no better than us. More laughing.It was the best 10 minutes of the past couple of years.The mood stayed light for the rest of the evening. Months later, we still remembered it. It didn’t solve anything. While my stepson recentlyunderwent a successful kidney transplant, his life will always have challenges.But this experience with the kazoo proved to be a turning point. It showed us that there are still things to laugh at and enjoy and that we can still connect as a family. Thanks to a simple kazoo, we remembered that we are one.1.
