I called a nearby center, “Do you have aerobics (有氧运动) classes 4 for seniors?” “Sure. Come and check us out! We start at 10 am,” the receptionist (接待员) replied and 5 . The next morning, I went there.

When I came into the room, a woman 8 me, “Oh, you’re new. Welcome.” Then the music started. The hour-long workout woke up the muscles I didn’t often 9 in daily walks, suiting me fine. I became a member there. My classmates ranged in age from fifty to ninety. Most gave the exercises their own 10 , doing as much or little as they could. 11 no one kept score. Soon I learned physical well-being wasn’t the only 12 there. During breaks, people chatted happily. Whenever some people were 13 we asked around. Were they busy? Were they in hospital?

My real turning 5 came about a few years ago. I was having the inside of our house painted. 6 , I had to move all things out of the painters’ way.

One day last winter, I was walking home from work on a busy city street. I wasn’t looking forward to going home and my 1 weren’t able to hang out with me.

One morning, my mother 2 handed me my father’s vest (背心) instead of mine. I was larger in build than my father. So when I 3 the vest, it was tight and I felt uncomfortable. I realized that it was a mistake of hers. I got very 4 . The mistake grew out of her carelessness.
I took out my anger on my mother 5 thinking much. I was so upset that she had handed me the 6 vest. I behaved badly and I threw it 7 !

I 11 that he spent the whole day wearing a vest that his son threw away. He must feel terrible. I was 12 with great admiration (钦佩) for my father. His kindness taught me a life lesson.
On that day, I decided never to let anger get the better of me.

Passage 12
I never planned on learning Chinese. Even when I found out I was going to Hongkong, I thought that I would be able to get by with English. However, it didn’t take long for me to 1 how naive (天真的) I was. Chinese characters are totally foreign and hard to 2 . I quickly got sick of a state of being confused and decided to 3 for the Chinese class offered by my university.
I had Chinese every weekday, after which I spent at least an hour 4 the lesson. In the evening my friends and I quizzed each other on the 5 we had to memorize. More importantly, I made a conscious 6 to speak in Chinese in stores and restaurants. I was 7 when I was able to maintain a simple conversation with the locals.
When I regularly achieved A’s on my Chinese exams, I thought it was time to take a 8 from studying Chinese every day and focus on my other classes. Unluckily, this turned out to be a(n) 9 . Due to the break, my whole study habits were suffering and the other lessons themselves were getting 10 . I had to come up with new study methods and 11 over.
With finals drawing near, I have set my golden rule: there isn’t a(n) 12 way to learn a new language. Once you realize and accept that you are a beginner, it becomes an ongoing process of exploration, 13 , rethinking, and trying again. Can I speak it out smoothly now? Not even close. And I may 14 be. But I learned how to be honest with myself and push through 15 .

Then I heard a voice behind me. “Photo. Photo. Photo.” A young local boy followed 3 at my heels. I breathed out a 4 sigh, having no energy to press the camera button one more time, no matter how 5 he was. But as I looked down, his eyes, wide with hope, 6 mine. He asked again, “Photo?”
An idea for a composition (构图) 7 in my mind. I knelt and 8 him where to stand and how to pose, but it was then that his energy suddenly 9 from eagerness to shyness to fear.

Passage 14
(21-22高一下·湖北·期末)Once upon a time, a daughter 1 to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to 2 it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon 3 .
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He 4 three pots with water and placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter complained and 5 waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes, he 6 the turners (开关). He took them out of the pot and put them in a bowl. Turning to his daughter, he asked, “Dear baby, what do you see now?”
“Potatoes, eggs and coffee,” she quickly replied.
“Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were 7 . He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she 8 the hard-boiled eggs. Finally, he asked her to sip (抿) the coffee. “Dad, what does this really mean?” she asked.
He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans had each faced the same boiling water. However, they 9 differently. They went in strong, hard, but in the boiling water, they became soft and weak. The eggs were fragile (易碎) with the thin outer shell protecting their liquid inside until they were put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the ground coffee beans were 10 . After they were 11 to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.
“Which one are you?” he asked his daughter. “When the 12 knocks on your door, how do you 13 ? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?”
“Dad, I want to be a coffee bean,” said the daughter.
All his 14 paid off and the daughter realized that in life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly 15 is what happens within us.

Once, a neighbor 8 me to share the cost of a new fence. I 9 my sister and discussed the matter, wondering how I could 10 make enough money to pay for it. After I put down the phone, my six-year-old daughter 11 me, saying, “Mom, please don’t worry. We may not 12 everything we want, but we have all we need.”

(24-25高一下·广东清远·期中)We live in a world increasingly controlled by science. Since elementary school, I have always 1 subjects like science and math. To me, these subjects, full of discoveries and 2 , seem to play a more important role in human progress than humanities (人文学科). And I always 3 thought of these subjects as more reliable and serious than classes like English. If there was no right 4 , I thought, why bother?

Rather than pulling us into boring arguments about difficult-to-understand philosophical points, Rob 10 us on our level. To talk free will, we looked at our own challenges. To talk morals, we reviewed the 11 we had made. By the end of class, I’d discovered that questions with no right answer can turn out to be the most 12 ones.

Turning junk into gold
The Royal Mint has announced plans for a new factory where it will process electronic junk to extract (提取) precious metals for coins and gold bars. The factory is 1 to open at Llantrisant in South Wales next year. It will be the first of its 2 in the world.
The Royal Mint is a government-owned company that makes coins for the UK and lots of other countries. Most of is coins are made from precious metals 3 gold and silver. It also makes gold bars, 4 as bullion (金条). Countries and banks like to keep gold bars because they are very valuable and their price doesn’t 5 to go up or down suddenly.
The precious metals used by the Mint are 6 mined (开采) from the ground but now it plans to 7 the vast amounts of electronic waste that is thrown away in the UK every year. Many electronic 8 use small quantities of precious metals such as gold and silver because they are good conductors of electricity. 9 , it is estimated that just 20% of old electronics are 10 worldwide. This is not just a waste, it can be 11 , because when e-waste is buried in rubbish dumps, metals and chemicals can leak out (泄露) and 12 the environment.
Currently, e-waste from the UK is sent abroad to be melted down to 13 precious metals. The new factory will use chemical 14 to do the same job much quicker and using far less energy. The 15 can extract 99% of the precious metals from plastic circuit boards within a few seconds, and could provide the Mint with hundreds of kilograms of gold each year.

No one had ever told her the 11 : “Hey, you know, maybe being a doctor isn’t suitable for you.”
Later she 12 a few courses again and had to leave Michigan Medical School. I wonder how much time she 13 . Maybe she would be a world-class artist or bank manager if she hadn’t insisted on becoming a doctor. But if someone had been 14 with her earlier, she might have avoided the terrible suffering.

Seizing the moment, I locked eyes with him 6 and declared, “If you don’t hire me, you’ll never know what I’m 7 of.”
After a long pause, he agreed — but on one 8 : “To proceed, you must immediately 9 from your current job, complete our three-month training, and pass the Series 7 exam perfectly on the first attempt — no second chances.”
Taking a deep breath, I accepted. Three months later, seeing “Passed” on the screen, I finally breathed a sigh of 10 .

(22-23高二下·黑龙江大庆·期中)I experienced a day when I was extraordinarily 1 . I’m never a picture of grace, but on this particular day, I seemed to be 2 everything.

Passage 23
Our family was sitting on the porch swing enjoying the summer breeze when my husband pointed to something on the swing’s chain next to him. We 1 forward to see a large praying mantis (螳螂) attaching to the chain. We held our 2 and watched, not wanting to scare it away. We sat and 3 chatted for the next half hour as we watched the insect 4 up and down the chain. It seemed 5 by our presence, and we were 6 to observe its slow, precise movements.
We wouldn’t have 7 it if my husband had not pointed it out. Too often, we move through life, 8 of the beautiful blessings surrounding us each day. The 9 of sitting and watching an insect for half an hour is something I do not want to 10 for granted. Too often, I define myself by my productivity. I start my morning with a checklist and 11 my worth by how much I get done by the day’s end.
I’m learning to 12 my tireless striving for productivity and simply 13 the gifts of this beautiful world when I see them. Each creature displays a small 14 . To sit and watch a unique bug like a praying mantis is an act of admiration. I think I’ll 15 and sit for a while in search of another beautiful bug just to appreciate the beauty of nature.

(22-23高一下·黑龙江大庆·期中)A famous theorist(理论家) once said, “I don’t divide the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures... I divide the world into the learners and the non-learners.”
What on earth would make someone a non-leaner? Everyone is born with an intense 1 to learn. Babies rise to the learning challenge daily. Not just for 2 tasks, but the most difficult ones of a lifetime, like learning to walk and talk. They never decide it’s too hard or not worth the 3 . Babies are not concerned about making mistakes or 4 themselves. They walk, they fall, they 5 .
What puts an end to this fearless learning? A fixed mindset. As soon as children become able to evaluate(评估) themselves, some of them become 6 of challenges. They are concerned about not being 7 .

Children with a growth mindset, however, thought it was a 12 choice. Why would anyone want to keep doing the same puzzle 13 ? They chose increasingly difficult ones instead.
Believing that success is about learning, children-with a growth mind took the opportunity. But those with a fixed mindset didn’t want to give away their 14 . This is how a fixed mindset makes people into 15 .
