Several years later, I got married. My husband Eric and I heard about a shop for sale in the nearby village. We had a look and decided to have a shop of our own. That was January 1973. Shopkeeping was 3 to us, so we often didn’t know what the 4 were asking for. But we soon learned.
We can tell by the weather how 5 the shop is going to be. On wet days there are very few people around, and when it’s 6 people want bread and milk, as they’re worried about being snowed in. When it’s hot, everyone buys cold drinks and ice cream.
More people shop online nowadays, but they still come here for things 7 from their order. I’ve kept up with technology and have a card reader, but the shop itself hasn’t changed much.
Now, as I’m getting older, it’s open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays 8 closing at 8:30 p.m.. However, I keep it open until 2 p.m. at weekends.
Eric passed away 16 years ago, but I am 9 getting rid of (处理掉) the shop. I love it all, talking to the customers and getting 10 they want. There are customers who come in two or three times a day, and we see several generations of families. Customers often tell me their 11 and I offer advice if I can.
It was the 50th anniversary (周年纪念) of the shop on January 13 this year. I wanted to do something 12 , so I held a party and had drinks and nibbles with customers. I also 13 a book about my memories in the shop. It’s called Just Ask Jenny, as I’m always the first port of call when anyone wants to know 14 .
This shop has been my life. I never 15 I would still be here after 50 years, but I love it and the people. It’s what keeps me going, and I’ve got no plan of retiring (退休).

About a year ago, our family dishwasher broke. My dad had just left for a work trip, and my mom was too busy with endless housework. So I offered to do the dishes 1 to help her out although I had never washed the dishes alone before.

The slippery (滑滑的) dish soap made it challenging for me to hold the dishes. I was always worried that I might 4 them. Moreover, there was much homework waiting for me so I was always 5 to get them done.
Slowly, something 6 me as I did the task. I began to notice the simple 7 while washing the dishes. I took my time with each dish. The warm water flowing over my hands became a 8 feeling. I started to enjoy the rhythm of the task. I started with the dinner plates. I learned to 9 the plates and washed the bottom. Then I moved to the bowls 10 and finally the cookers.
Now it was easy to know if the plate I was washing is my grandfather’s—it would have 11 left. My younger brother was opposite—there was always food left. I could 12 tell the difference if just one bowl was not put in the same order as before.
When we did finally get the new dishwasher set up, I still continued washing the dishes myself after dinner, 13 my mother greatly.
Every single day, I stand in that same place, washing the dishes one by one. That 14 itself has become not only a task but a source of unexpected calm. For those 15 minutes each day, I 15 slow down, allowing myself to forget about the worries. My mind, along with my eyes and hands, pays all my attention to this one simple task. I truly lose myself in the peaceful rhythm of this common housework.

One of my earliest memories is playing “shops” with my granddad when I was 5 years old. After 1 school at 15, I worked in a fruit shop, but I had no 2 of how to run my own shop back then.
Several years later, I got married. My husband Eric and I heard about a shop for sale in the nearby village. We had a look and decided to have a shop of our own. That was January 1973. Shopkeeping was 3 to us, so we often didn’t know what the 4 were asking for. But we soon learned.
We can tell by the weather how 5 the shop is going to be. On wet days there are very few people around, and when it’s 6 people want bread and milk, as they’re worried about being snowed in. When it’s hot, everyone buys cold drinks and ice cream.
More people shop online nowadays, but they still come here for things 7 from their order. I’ve kept up with technology and have a card reader, but the shop itself hasn’t changed much.
Now, as I’m getting older, it’s open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays 8 closing at 8:30 p.m.. However, I keep it open until 2 p.m. at weekends.
Eric passed away 16 years ago, but I am 9 getting rid of (处理掉) the shop. I love it all, talking to the customers and getting 10 they want. There are customers who come in two or three times a day, and we see several generations of families. Customers often tell me their 11 and I offer advice if I can.
It was the 50th anniversary (周年纪念) of the shop on January 13 this year. I wanted to do something 12 , so I held a party and had drinks and nibbles with customers. I also 13 a book about my memories in the shop. It’s called Just Ask Jenny, as I’m always the first port of call when anyone wants to know 14 .
This shop has been my life. I never 15 I would still be here after 50 years, but I love it and the people. It’s what keeps me going, and I’ve got no plan of retiring (退休).

“Why did we pick today for this? I should be staying at home, having a birthday party, and lots of birthday gifts are waiting for me!” I said to Dad, a little unhappy. Six miles into our bird-watching trip in Happy Forest Park, we were in 1 .
In the morning, we set out in 2 weather. Birds were singing along the way while we enjoyed the sunshine. But storm clouds came unexpectedly.
“I checked the weather, but the app didn’t 3 us,” Dad explained. Mom comforted me, “Don’t worry, and maybe you’ll get a nicer 4 for your birthday.”
“Really?” I forced a smile.
“Find shelter (遮蔽)!” Dad shouted as the heavy rain poured down. We 5 a rest area nearby and rushed there. The wind blew hard and I felt cold. I found I’d forgotten to take my emergency rescue blanket (紧急救生毯) when I 6 my bag.
“Ta-da! Look! ” Dad pulled out a blanket from his bag and put it over us. “Let’s 7 ,” he added. Mom brought out a packet of cookies. “ 8 makes everything better,” she said, passing them around. Her calmness helped me breathe(呼吸) 9 .
Half an hour passed, but the rain didn’t stop. We had to 10 the trip and return.
The ground was wet, so Dad kept reminding us to be slow and 11 . He suggested we hold on to the trees in order not to 12 .
The sky grew dark, so we couldn’t see the road clearly. “Are we… 13 ?” I asked. Dad took out a compass (指南针) from his magic bag. “See this? Always 14 one,” he said, “North is that way.” Then he guided us with a flashlight.
We finally got to the car park and drove home safely. On arriving home, we got into warm clothes. “The weather in the mountains changes anytime. Luckily, with good 15 , we made the trip safe and sound. High five!” Dad said while we were drinking hot chocolate.
“And this unusual trip is the best birthday gift I got today,” I smiled to Mom.

Imagine sitting in a classroom all day with no windows—just four boring white walls looking at you! That’s a 1 some kids face at a primary school in California. Logan Earnest, a teacher at the school, was 2 about this. “Most of the day, students are indoors and can’t see the trees or the blue sky,” he said. “I think the boring walls might make children feel tired and make it 3 for them to pay attention to their studies.”

“Where was the cashier (收银员)?” I wondered. Feeling 1 with having waited at the counter (柜台) for at least 3 minutes, I quickly looked at my watch. I was afraid I 2 had enough time to eat a sandwich and then rushed back to work.
When I looked around the nearly empty 3 , I saw a woman cleaning a table in the corner. She looked at me coldly with sad, dark eyes.
I felt so angry that I was almost out of 4 . Suddenly I remembered Mom’s words. “ 5 you find yourself in an unpleasant situation, just think about what is missing. If someone is 6 , then kindness is missing. If someone is hateful, then 7 is missing. If we will do what’s missing, then we will provide whatever the situation needs.”
And here I was in an unpleasant situation. 8 should I do “what’s missing”? What was missing was service. Should I just jump behind the counter to take the food I would order?
Just then the woman walked slowly towards me. “May I help you?” she asked, still 9 . She looked so tired. 10 . She was overworked.
I took a deep breath. With Mom’s words still ringing in my 11 , I gave the woman my order and smiled. “How are you doing today?”

“I’m sorry,” I said, “I hope it gets better from right now.”
She almost smiled as she handed me the food. “Thanks. I hope you’re right.”
I thought to 13 as I ate my sandwich. We’re the same, really. We have problems and angers, we get tired and we hurt. We need to be 14 to each other.
After eating, I cleaned the table cleaner than usual, and put the tray (托盘) back nicely on the stand. The woman was watching me all the time, with a big smile on her face.
“Do what’s missing.” What mum said really 15 . I smiled back to her, too.

When I was 25, I moved to Shanghai because of my new work. China has changed a lot in the years since I moved to the city. One of the developments is cashless payment (无现金支付), and that has 1 the way we live and shop.
China is 2 the first country to have cashless payment. I used a debit card (借记卡) to 3 things without cash for years in the US. But now that I can use my phone instead, it’s super 4 . One of the things I like most is that I can order dishes whenever I am hungry and the money can 5 to others directly.
It was a cold and rainy day. I finished too much work and went home. I 6 myself deep into the sofa. I was so 7 that I didn’t want to cook anything for myself. I ordered a pot of chicken soup on my phone.
Half an hour later, a delivery worker 8 me that he’d arrived. I went out to pick up the food. I walked 9 because I thought he would leave the food at the gate of my community and go back to work in a hurry.
As I went to the gate, I saw him 10 in the pouring rain without an umbrella. The rain kept falling down on his face, his feet, and his yellow uniform. He was so young, in his 11 . He looked tired.
“Chicken soup?” he asked.
I nodded and he handed the food to me with shivering (颤抖的) and water y finger.
“Why didn’t you leave 12 to find some shelter from the rain? I’m sorry that I come so late.” I asked.
“I work to bring food safely to our customers. For us, one of the most important things is to 13 their needs.” he said with a smile on his face. Then he turned around and disappeared in the rain.
The cold rain kept falling, but a wisp (缕) of warmth rose in my heart. Around us there are many 14 people like him who do their jobs every day, even when their work is really tough. They never forget to bring us convenience (便利) and 15 .

Seven arctic wolves move smoothly across a frozen pool and begin to run after a thick piece of ice.
The three older wolves are 1 wildly, hitting the four young wolves and sending them rolling on the frozen grass. But the young jump up and run back onto the frozen pool to 2 the game. Finally, the youngest wolf quickly catches the ice, making it to pieces. Game over. The rest of the wolves stare at (凝视) him, as if to say, “What now?” Then, one by one, they all 3 to look at me.
I’ve been 4 these seven wolves for hours, keeping a good distance between us so they don’t feel 5 . There is probably no other place on Earth than Ellesmere Island (Canada’s northernmost island) where wolves would let a human sit alongside them like I’m doing.

About a year ago, our family dishwasher broke. My dad had just left for a work trip, and my mom was too busy with endless housework. So I offered to do the dishes 1 to help her out although I had never washed the dishes alone before.
At first, doing the dishes greatly made me 2 . The dirty dishes piled up there, and I didn’t even know where to start. The food left-overs seemed to be 3 on the plates with glue. The slippery (滑滑的) dish soap made it challenging for me to hold the dishes. I was always worried that I might 4 them. Moreover, there was much homework waiting for me so I was always 5 to get them done.
Slowly, something 6 me as I did the task. I began to notice the simple 7 while washing the dishes. I took my time with each dish. The warm water flowing over my hands became a 8 feeling. I started to enjoy the rhythm of the task. I started with the dinner plates. I learned to 9 the plates and washed the bottom. Then I moved to the bowls 10 and finally the cookers.
Now it was easy to know if the plate I was washing is my grandfather’s—it would have 11 left. My younger brother was opposite—there was always food left. I could 12 tell the difference if just one bowl was not put in the same order as before.
When we did finally get the new dishwasher set up, I still continued washing the dishes myself after dinner, 13 my mother greatly.
Every single day, I stand in that same place, washing the dishes one by one. That 14 itself has become not only a task but a source of unexpected calm. For those 15 minutes each day, I 15 slow down, allowing myself to forget about the worries. My mind, along with my eyes and hands, pays all my attention to this one simple task. I truly lose myself in the peaceful rhythm of this common housework.
