I was extremely interested in the ideas he 2 in class. When I took the first exam, I was 3 to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, for English was my best 4 . I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my 5 but remained unmoved. I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that 6 because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I reasoned with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened 7 but wouldn’t change his mind. One more test before the final exam. One more 8 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts (努力) and, for the first time, 9 the meaning of the word “thorough (彻底的)”. But my effort did no good and everything went as before. The last difficulty was the final. No matter what grade I got, it wouldn’t cancel C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 10 goodbye. I 11 working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 12 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have fun with a test.

The first day we entered the campus, we were 1 by its beauty and bright-colored stone statues of fairies (精灵) that 2 there. As we got older, I discovered the school wasn’t always where beauty was an everyday 3 . The weather-beaten stone statues badly needed 4 . However, there weren’t enough staff to get everything done. I decided to do something to give the campus a new 5 . My sister had a similar idea and we came up with a plan to secretly 6 the school. Having carefully worked out a project, we got 7 from the administration (管理层) to do it. We first painted the stone statues, refreshing the few remaining fairies. To bring 8 and magic to the campus, we painted on the doors of the boy’s and the girl’s bathrooms the sun and moon representation 9 designed by my sister. The tree by the school gate was dead and its bare branches were 10 , leaving only the trunk. The young schoolmates were 11 by the loss of this tree and the trunk left was a sad 12 to them of the once-living tree. 13 transforming this trunk into a fairy house for visiting fairies to stop by and have a little snack, I put little 14 in the house so that the children could look into the little fairy kitchen while walking by. While cutting and shaping the trunk took many hours, it was well worth it for we 15 a wound in our natural environment.

As a freshman, I was both excited and 1 . I didn’t know anyone, and I wasn’t sure how I would 2 . But little did I know, my high school experience would end up being one of the most transformative times in my life. One of the biggest challenges I faced in high school was 3 management. I was involved in several after-class 4 including the debate team and student union, and I found it difficult to 5 my schoolwork with my other duties. However, over time, I learned how to prioritize and manage my time effectively. I discovered that by setting clear goals and creating a 6 , I could achieve everything I wanted to without making a mess of my school life. Another important lesson I learned in high school was the 7 of hard work. I had always been a good student, but in high school, I was challenged to 8 myself even further and go for 9 in everything I did. Whether it was a difficult math problem or a challenging essay, I learned to 10 the struggle and stick to getting over difficult tasks. This 11 and way of work would serve me well in college and beyond. High school was also a time of 12 growth for me. I made new friends, 13 my interests, and discovered who I was as a person.

Without 200 much, I accepted his 201 , which only goes to 202 how naive (天真的) a dad can be. The moment he 203 onto the court, I realised this was not a friendly game, but a challenge. There comes a time when sons regard 204 their fathers as a symbol of 205 . The test may be 206 or intellectual (智力的), but sooner or later the young man is to defeat the old one and becomes a real man. When playing 207 , my son is all the things I’m not: quick with a deadly shot. And I know the 208 will come eventually. Just not today. It’s a man thing, I guess. As a father, I need to 1 my impatient son an important lesson about 2 , courage, and pride. Therefore, I wouldn’t 3 on the court or wherever. We played for quite a long time that day. I won a narrow victory and told him that he played for the wrong reasons. He 4 as if he understood. A few weeks later Marlon 5 me to a friendly game. He beat me soundly.

I do. Her name is Mrs White. I don’t remember much about what we learned in her 1 , but my mother once told me we used to 2 a lot. And I would 3 what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many 4 , but no red corrections. Instead, there was always a star, sometimes even a “Good”! That made my heart filled with 5 , but worried my mother. So one day when she met Mrs White, she asked her why she never red-penciled the wrong 6 of words or pointed out grammatical errors. My mother told me Mrs White said, “The children are just 7 to get excited about using words, about 8 sentences. I don’t want to dampen (减弱) that 9 with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait. The wonder of words won’t...” And maybe she didn’t 10 it exactly like that because it was a long time ago and what my mother told me was just what she could 11 . Thanks to Mrs White, I 12 up learning to use words with 13 . I had no worry about writing what I 14 even if I couldn’t quite spell it out.

He has taken hundreds of photos of insects and shared many of them on the Internet. When Lv was three, he became 2 in insects in his grandmother’s garden.

He learned about a person who was good at taking photos of insects by 5 . “I was surprised at his beautiful photos,” Lv said. He liked the photos so much that he decided to take his own ones. He 6 goes outdoors to take photos, but he also keeps some insects in his room. Over the years, he has taken hundreds of photos of insects. “I record their growth with my camera. It’s very 7 ” Lv said. Also, he once noticed 8 some butterflies changed when they grew. “When they grew 9 and were ready to fly, I felt really excited. That was the most amazing 10 . I didn’t know when this would happen, so I had to watch often and 11 patiently.” Lv tries hard to make his photos 12 , so he often talks to good photographers(摄影师) and reads books to learn how to take better photos. He also 13 backgrounds to match the insects with the pictures. For example, he once added leaves and grass 14 the insects to make them look more beautiful.

My first 3 was an old temple (寺庙) at the edge of the town. Its tall walls and beautiful design 4 a deep impression on me. I took a few photos and tried to remember every 5 of the place. While walking around, I met a friendly local who 6 some tips about the best places to visit. Talking with him made me feel more 7 about exploring the city on my own. One afternoon, I 8 to explore a nearby hill. The path was narrow and sometimes a little 9 , but the view from the top was 10 . I realized that traveling alone wasn’t just about seeing new places, it also 11 me to be independent and responsible. I even tried some local 12 in a small restaurant, and the taste was so different from what I usually ate at home. At night, I sat by the window of the hotel, 13 the lights of the city and thinking about the day. Before leaving, I wrote down the details (细节) of my 14 in a small notebook.

Unlike most of them, this 25-year-old is doing it 1 . She and her husband have spent the last two years traveling the world, stopping everywhere from Paris to Singapore. It might sound like one long, expensive 2 , but the couple have an unusual way to make their travel 3 . They’re part of a new form of the 4 economy: an online group of house sitters. Throughout their no-cost stays in 5 homes, they feed pets and water plants in the homeowner’s 6 . It’s not just about visiting interesting places as a tourist. The two travelers carefully 7 their trips, scheduling their days around the pets that are sometimes difficult to 8 . But house sitting also offers a level of 9 they can’t find in a hotel. “It’s like 10 at a friend’s house,” Jessica says. The couple has a high 11 rate in getting accepted as house sitters and they always go beyond the homeowner’s 12 . For Jessica, that means 13 plenty of pictures of happy pets, keeping the house 14 and leaving a nice small gift before heading to the next house. “You want to make the homeowner feel that they made the right 15 ,” she says. 1．A．indoors B．online C．part-time D．full-time 2．A．game B．service C．holiday D．process 3．A．safe B．amazing C．challenging D．affordable 4．A．local B．personal C．sharing D．natural 5．A．strangers’ B．parents’ C．friends’ D．neighbors’ 6．A．favor B．mind C．honor D．absence 7．A．plan B．explain C．compare D．complete 8．A．buy B．move C．choose D．please 9．A．support B．comfort C．control D．attention 10．A．cooking B．staying C．waiting D．studying 11．A．success B．survival C．growth D．failure 12．A．costs B．abilities C．expectations D．contributions 13．A．reminding B．exchanging C．sending D．borrowing 14．A．tidy B．open C．simple D．empty 15．A．guess B．decision C．proposal D．impression While living in California, I started to look forward to hiking another famous California mountain, Half Dome, located in Yosemite National Park. It is a 14 to 16-hour hike depending on the 1 you choose. You’ll climb 4,800 feet, and you need to get a 2 ahead of time. No friends at the time agreed to do this hike with me and I didn’t feel 3 while doing it alone. This long-held 4 still wasn’t achieved when I moved away from California. I 5 it for years. Years later, I was looking at something I’d bought during a Yosemite visit. It was a gift for people who had 6 the Half Dome hike. It was meant to 7 me to do it. I’d been hiking much less since I left California. I got into a(n) 8 mood (心情), thinking I didn’t want to go hiking because it seemed hard to 9 the trails (步道). However, that was not 10 true. I missed it a lot! That day, I 11 to go for it. I put in for permits and got them for September. My best friend agreed to 12 me. We started training all summer. Over the course of that year, I began to enjoy hiking again by discovering 13 trails.

From a young age, my dad forced me into a dozen sports in the 1 . However, I didn’t like them because I didn’t want to 2 and that made me smell bad. When I entered the university, my dad kept telling me, “You have to find a way to 3 .” or “You don’t want to get the Freshman 15 pounds, do you?” So I decided to give 4 a shot, and no surprise I 5 during the fall semester(学期)because I couldn’t stand being sweaty and running so many miles. Worse still, I was satisfied to 6 myself and said, “Yeah, that’s OK.” The spring semester came. A friend of mine, an 7 who is good at sports, came to me one day asking if I wanted to go to Zumba(尊巴，一种由舞蹈演变而来的健身方式), a kind of dance, with her. All I knew about Zumba was that it was basically 8 to Latin and pop songs. It didn’t sound too bad, but I was not 9 if I could insist. I went, and that was it. Zumba made me more 10 than before, and it became my cup of tea. The instructor would always say, “Don’t worry about the 11 . Have fun. Do your own thing.” That removed my 12 about sports. I didn’t have to be perfect. I didn’t even have to be good. I just need to 13 the move. Zumba did 14 me from the Freshman 15 pounds, but it also did so much more.

Such a strong and demanding schedule made me 1 exercise, and when I finally quit rowing, I also 2 exercising altogether. The very thought of working out became an old memory. However, after moving to a new neighborhood — being an author and working at home, I 3 for the sense of belonging to a group again but was 4 about returning to rowing. One day, a neighbor 5 me to fill in for his basketball team because of his leg injury. Playing basketball brought back the 6 of being part of a team. Unlike the serious nature of rowing, playing basketball was just for fun for me, free from the 7 of costly equipment (装备). My teammates and I don’t know much about each other‘s personal lives, but we share a(n) 8 through our deep love for the game and our wish to win, a connection that makes us struggle for excellence together. These regular games have 9 improved my life. The life of an author can be isolated (孤独的), and social media often also 10 my pressure. I clearly remember when I received an email to 11 the book I had run out of my efforts for a year, I was reduced to tears. On that evening, I headed to a basketball game. I started the game in a 12 mood, but as it progressed, my spirits 13 . By the end, I felt great. Playing basketball provides an important break from these 14 .

He ran his first half marathon at 9 and since then he has been 3 at plenty of ultra marathons. He ran every day from his beachside home to his 4 on working days. The daily run enabled him to see the 5 of Australia, meet amazing people and most importantly, 6 himself physically and mentally (心理上).
