I still remember the first volleyball game after my surgery (手术) at the age of 15. As I ran freely across the court in my purple sweater, number “12” glowing, I wiped my face with my sweater like any other kid, showing the 16 on my right belly (肚子). It didn’t embarrass me at all. It was my 17 because it held my father’s deep love.
When I was a baby, I often had terrible 18 . Doctors said my right kidney (肾脏) was sick and needed to be 19 some day. Hearing that, I was curious and 20 asked Dad, “Will there be ice cream after that?” His eyes looked teary, but I didn’t know why at that time.
Every morning, Dad asked, “What will we be today?” I always said, “Perfect! My kidney’s getting 21 !” For years, I stayed 22 with only 20% kidney function. But by the age of 13, I felt weaker. Tests showed Dad was the best 23 to replace my bad one. Though he worried about his family’s kidney disease and was unable to save me, to his relief, the results 24 healthy — a miracle.
On the 25 day, I held Dad’s hand till doctors took me away. When I woke up, a nurse said, “Your dad sent a 26 message: Hubba-Bubba.” I smiled weakly, remembering how he’d whispered it to me when I was a kid.
Now I play volleyball with 27 energy because of the valued part from Dad. It’s a 28 of his selfless love. 29 birth and this operation, he gave me life twice. We not only share something unbreakable, but he taught me how to 30 hope even in darkness.

If you walk around the Rahway Trail (小路), you might spot more than nature’s usual sights. Fairies might live among the leaves. Small 31 are hidden in the tree trunks and branches — sweet surprises in this forest.
The fairy homes weren’t built by 32 creatures, but by volunteers. The idea began with Therese Ojibway, who 10 years ago wanted her autistic (患自闭症的) son to have a safe space to 33 in nature.
“So, she found this Rahway Trail, now known as the Fairy Trail, and started leaving fairy homes 34 , so her son could search for them during visits. Over time, she 35 filling it up even more,” said Julie Gould, a trail keeper.
Ojibway and her son moved away years ago, but their fairy trail 36 . Gould and Kelly, now the official “Makers and Keepers”, 37 to build wooden fairy homes with volunteers.
Kids spent hours 38 the nearly 100 tiny homes, but 39 , they might not see fairies. “We don’t always see them since they’re shy,” explained Kelly. “But for us to be able to provide 40 for them is just wonderful.”
Still, kids 41 to see the fairies — and sometimes they’re convinced they have. If they don’t, it is 42 a day well spent in nature. “This is about a magical feeling. It gives you a sense of imagination, 43 and creativity,” Gould said. “We get paid when we get to 44 with the joyful children. This is just a 45 place for them.”

We all know someone like it. You probably work with or are even related to one. And with Christmas approaching, the season of office parties and family gatherings, you’re increasingly likely to have to 46 with one and rediscover just how annoying they are. We’re talking about the ‘know-it-all’. Individuals who will enthusiastically 47 you about any topic or area, despite clearly having little to no expert knowledge in what they’re talking about. And often, even though 48 do.
Why would anyone assume 49 knowledge to everyone else, about every possible subject matter? One is the phenomenon of ‘naive realism’, which describes how people instinctively assume that their 50 of the world reflects objective reality. In reality, everything we see and ‘know’ about the world passes through our brain’s shortcuts, biases, emotional memories, and other mental processes. What we believe is reality in our heads is often noticeably different from what is reality, but we don’t recognize this happening. 51 , we regularly encounter people who see the world from another perspective. But naive realism means we assume that those who understand the world differently are 52 . For a seemingly large number of people, this results in an irresistible urge to ‘correct’ others. It may be 100 per cent well intended, but that doesn’t make it any less 53 . However, this can’t be the 54 story. Many people experience naive realism, yet never do or say anything about it. True know-it-alls don’t actually wait for you to make a mistake before 55 to you. This suggests something beyond naive realism that drives know-it-all behavior.
Another cognitive bias (认知偏差) at work, proposed in a recent study by Gehlbach, Robinson, and Fletcher, is ‘the illusion of information adequacy’. Put simply, this describes how though many people 56 sufficient information to make accurate judgments about something, they’ll assume the opposite. It’s logically very hard to 57 what we don’t know.
Then there’s the Dunning-Kruger effect: the cognitive bias where people with limited competence in a certain area tend to 58 their abilities. Their lack of smart thinking means they struggle to acknowledge when someone else knows more than them, meaning they dare to argue with those who are better informed. And because people often respond more to 59 than accuracy, they often get away with it. If this happens often enough, across enough subjects, they could convince themselves that they’re 60 on pretty much everything, even though the opposite is true.

An extreme sport like BMX (Bicycle Motocross) may not be the first thing that comes to mind to help overcome a mental health condition. However, that is 76 what enabled Nikita Ducarroz to fight her fears.
As a child, Ducarroz spent every 77 moment on the soccer field. But at 13, the talented athlete began to suffer from 78 anxiety attacks that made it hard for her to leave home. When her mother told her she had to continue playing a sport, Ducarroz found BMX as a way to 79 that rule. Little did she know that BMX would soon 80 every aspect of her life, and become the reason she would push through her fears one step at a time.
The tale began when a BMX video on YouTube inspired her to try the extreme sport. She saved up for a bike. Then she began practicing 81 in her driveway. Soon, her excellent skills brought her enough 82 to ride at the local skate park. With that confidence, Ducarroz was 83 to ride in the competition in 2016, and she has not looked back since.
“The bike made me get out of the house, go to the skate park, and 84 get on a plane,” said Ducarroz. “It 85 me to overcome all my fears.”
The 26-year-old is now one of the world’s best female BMX freestylers. Ducarroz now has her 86 set on the 2024 Paris Olympics. She says, “My goal in Paris is another medal. I can get that done with the training.”
Though she still suffers occasional 87 attacks, Ducarroz now knows how to manage them. To help others with mental health conditions, Ducarroz has started an Instagram page called MindTricks. It is where people discuss their fears 88 .
“MindTricks started because of my own 89 that I was making on Instagram about mental health,” she explained. “And I thought, ‘Why don’t we create a place where others can do the same, a central spot where everyone can read about these stories and also feel 90 to share their own stories?’”

Growing up in Calgary, our kids had only seen buildings from the 1900s. We wanted to show them 91 castles, medieval monuments, and grand palaces, so we traveled to Edinburgh to take a family trip.
Scotland holds a personal connection for us, as my boys have Scottish 92 , we hoped this trip would connect them to their ancestors’ culture.
Our airport taxi driver pointed out landmarks and shared historical facts. Through his 93 Scottish accent, he suggested visiting the National Records office to explore our family history. Despite their 94 , my kids grew excited to explore their family history. As we entered the city, Edinburgh Castle was 95 majestically on the volcanic rock — a 96 reminder of Scotland’s 97 past that would help my children connect with their heritage.
Walking along the Royal Mile, my boys were 98 by the souvenir shops. Among the tartan scarves arranged by 99 , they found their family’s unique 100 . Though we didn’t 101 anything, this discovery gave them a strong sense of 102 to their ancestors.
This trip became a meaningful 103 of cultural discovery. Sometimes the most valuable things aren’t what we buy, but what we 104 about ourselves and our 105 .

Each morning she 113 the plates and her two “formerly” homeless cats 114 to eat. After they have filled their bodies and gone off to get a morning sleep under the 115 of a tree, I see that the left-over cat food isn’t going to 116 . This morning I 117 3 fair-sized crows (乌鸦) down at the plate eating the left-over cat food that was there. Then after they 118 off to do whatever crows do, a small cardinal (红衣凤头鸟) that had 119 a nest in the tree next to my daughter’s home flew down to eat up what was left. As I sat and watched all of this from my kitchen window, I couldn’t help but smile with 120 . I delighted in seeing my girl taking her place in the great circle of love.
