I was invited to a cookout on an old friend's farm in western Washington.I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years.A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it.It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape.She was covered in spiderwebs(蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings.She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in.The broken window glass was the likely answer.I stuffed a piece

of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes.I removed the sticky spiderwebs that covered her head and wings.Still, she made no attempt to fly.Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired? Or too thirsty?
As I carried her up the blackberrylined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move.I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away.Hovering(悬停), she approached within six inches of my face.For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side.Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident.They promised to fix the window.As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car.I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering.She turned from person to person until she came to me.She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone.For a moment, all were speechless.Then someone said,“She must have come to say goodbye.”

A few weeks later, I went to the farm again.
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared.
【参考范文】
A few weeks later, I went to the farm again.I still remembered my friends' promise so I went past the abandoned milking house to see if they had fixed the broken window.To my satisfaction, no other tiny creatures would meet this trouble any more.As I approached the farm, I was greeted by a spicy smell of the barbecue, urging me to walk faster.We were totally immersed in the peaceful atmosphere, enjoying the delicate cuisines, talking about our interesting experiences and singing songs till the sun set.The evening glow spreading across the farm, it was time for us to say goodbye so we went to the parking lot together.
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared.With a squeaking call, she dived towards me and hovered before my face, looking at me with her bright eyes.Then she stopped on my left shoulder.I patted her on the back which was covered by colorful feathers.And I took out my water bottle, trying to give her some water.Content and joyful, she flew about 2 meters above the ground, turning her head from side to side as if expressing her gratitude for saving her life to me again.At that moment, happiness and the feeling of being moved mingled, welling up into my heart, tears rolling down my cheeks.

Willis was a highway patrol trooper (巡逻警察), who was in charge of the traffic safety of the Tennessee Highway.One afternoon this July, it rained heavily.He was driving along the busiest section of the highway during the downpour when he saw the traffic slowing down in front of him.Some cars stopped and bypassed one lane (车道).
Willis initially thought there was a car crash, so he slowed down his car to approach.But he soon found out the source of the delay was an animal wandering on the wet road.And he spotted that was a dog when he got close enough.There was a large dog that looked like a brown German shepherd (牧羊犬) in the middle lane.
The weather was at its worst, and the gray sky with the heavy rain gave the highway minimum visibility.The delay might cause a traffic jam and of course it was very dangerous to let the dog wander in the middle of the highway.
He immediately turned on his blue lights because people usually slow down when they see the blue lights and called into the radio so they knew where he was.He pulled over, got out, and whistled to draw the dog's attention.
It seemed as if the dog knew Willis was its lifesaver.It walked to Willis and his car.Once the dog was in the car, Willis pulled into a parking lot nearby, where he called Petworks Animal Service.While waiting, he noticed the dog wearing a collar with its name “Luna”.Willis recorded a short video of the dog.
Then an animal control officer came and took Luna to the shelter.Willis came back to work.Watching cars travelling on the highway through the window glass, he thought he might do something to let the dog's owner know their pet was found safe.

Days later, news came that Luna's owner had been found and would visit him.Willis received a call from the shelter informing him that Luna's owner had seen the video and was overjoyed to know that Luna was safe.The owner, a woman named Sarah, had been desperately searching for Luna for days.When she arrived at the shelter, she was reunited with Luna, who greeted her with excited barks and wagging tail.Sarah thanked Willis profusely for his kindness and quick thinking.Willis felt a deep sense of satisfaction knowing he had helped reunite a lost pet with its owner.

the same spot on the table every time.It was as if he could see invisible lines drawn specifically for these things, not a centimeter more or less.
What impressed me was Dad's comb which was jade green.I heard he bought it when he married Mum, which made the comb two years older than I was.Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”
This task brought me such joy at the age of five.I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could.Satisfied that I'd done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad.He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet.
Two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business.I started primary school.That was when things started to change.Dad's business wasn't doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky.He didn't come home as much as he used to — just a couple of times a week.And when he did come home, it was always late and I'd already be in bed.I started to get mad.Why didn't he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why took the risk and placed the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Today, I'm no longer a kid.
Now I have grown up.I've graduated from college and got a job.Dad's business has also started to get back on track.Things are better now.Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early.As usual, I helped him carry his bags into his study.When I turned to leave, he said, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb? ”

Looking at him for a while, I took the comb and headed to the sink.I was very surprised that my father still remembered it after these years.Suddenly scenes from my childhood came back to me, which made my eyes misted.I turned the tap on, and then brushed the comb with a used toothbrush just like what I had done in my childhood.As I washed the comb, I couldn't help recalling those happy days that I spent with father.After a while, the comb was pretty clean.
I handed the clean comb back to Dad.He looked at it and smiled.But this time, I noticed something different.My dad has aged.He has wrinkles next to his eyes, yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before—the smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family.Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet.After so many years, I guess some things never change.And for that, I'm glad.

Eva spent the first week of high school trying to keep her head above water.One of the major headaches for her was finding her way in the huge school building.It was a sixstory building.On each floor, hallways stretched in four directions, leading to classrooms, laboratories, and teachers' offices.Somewhere in the building, there was also a library, a cafeteria, and a gym.
Having a poor sense of direction, Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge building.All the different hallways and rooms were too much to think about, let alone commit to memory.She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn't exist.
In her first P.E. class, Eva was shocked when Coach Pitt announced that everyone had to run one mile around the track outside.She searched the faces of her classmates for signs of panic.There was nothing she feared more than having to run a whole mile.To Eva, “a mile” was used to describe long distances.
学生用书第572页
It was ten miles from her home to her grandfather's, and that always seemed like a long way, even in a car!
When Coach Pitt blew his whistle (哨子), Eva figured she would be left in the dust.However, while some of her classmates edged ahead, others actually fell behind.“It's just the beginning,” she thought.“I'll come in last for sure.”
Soon Eva began to breathe hard, with her heart pounding and legs shaking.Feeling desperate, Eva started using a mind trick on herself.She stopped thinking about the word “mile”.Instead, she focused on reaching the shadow cast on the track by an oak tree up ahead.Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved (拐弯).After that, she tried to see if she could complete her first lap.One lap turned into two, then three, then four.

When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised.
Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building.
【参考范文】
When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised.She couldn't believe that she had not only completed the mile run but had also surpassed her own expectations.The feeling of accomplishment washed over her, filling her with newfound confidence.It was a valuable lesson for Eva—sometimes, pushing through our fears and using mental tricks can help us achieve more than we ever imagined.From that moment on, Eva's perspective shifted, and she began to see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles to overcome.
Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building.Instead of feeling overwhelmed by its size and complexity, she would break it down into smaller, more manageable parts.Just like focusing on reaching the shadow cast on the track or the spot where the track curved, Eva would identify specific landmarks in the building to guide her way.She started by memorizing the location of her classrooms and slowly expanded her knowledge to include nearby hallways and common areas.By reframing her approach and using her mind as a tool, Eva transformed her experience in the school building from one of confusion to one of empowerment.

My love for dance began when I was very young and I would dream to be a star dancer from time to time.With the drama festival approaching, the school's drama club had released a notice for the dancer audition (试镜) for The Twelve Dancing Princesses.And of course I was the first one to sign up.
As I left the stage after my audition at school, I could feel it.The power.The future.I knew that someday when dancers' magazines wrote about me, they would say this moment was when my rise to a star began.
My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful.In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night so they probably had foot pain, too.My performance was more genuine because of my pain.I needed to show my devotion even when I wasn't on stage, so I approached Mr.Ellison, the drama club advisor.He told me that casting (角色分配) will be posted tomorrow.“Thank you, sir,” I said, using the almost British pronunciation of Hollywood stars in the 1940s.I was so sure that Mr.Ellison would cast me as a princess.
The next morning, I went to read the cast list.The twelve princesses were first, by number.I scanned from One to Twelve, but none by me.At the bottom of the casting list, my name finally appeared.My role was a really small one, an old woman who helped a soldier, not one of the princesses! I was desperately disappointed.Mr.Ellison must have made a mistake! No one else in the school had my skills or preparation!
I found him in his classroom, but he insisted there was no mistake and emphasized that every role in a play was important.Unable to accept the fact, I burst into tears.Mr.Ellison managed to calm me down and encouraged me to have a try in the rehearsal (排练).

The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal, still feeling disheartened.As we began, I watched the princesses dance gracefully, a twinge of jealousy stirring within me.But then, as I started to act out my role, something shifted.Mr.Ellison's words echoed in my mind, “Every role is important.” Gradually, I immersed myself in the character of the old woman.My lines flowed naturally, and I found a newfound respect for my role.To my surprise, my performance drew applause from my peers.This small role, I realized, could be a powerful one.
Finally, the great day arrived and “the old woman” couldn't wait to get on stage.As the curtains opened, a rush of excitement filled me.I delivered my lines with conviction, feeling more alive on stage than I had ever been.The audience laughed at my humorous lines, and I felt a sense of accomplishment.When the final curtain fell, the applause was deafening.Mr.Ellison's words had been right — every role was important.I had found my place in the spotlight, not as a princess, but as an old woman who helped a soldier.And it was enough.

I needed to do something in my community (社区) in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school.Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too.It seemed like a good thing to do.
I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner.We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat.Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering.It wasn't until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.
As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared.I'd come face to face with the homeless: How should I act? How would they treat me? Would they hate me for having more than they did? While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous.I didn't have too much time to worry about it.I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the lady next to me.She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she'd be right there, which I found quite comforting.
I had never seen so many people wanting food.They were of all ages and nationalities.Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty.Some looked like they had totally given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking.Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat.It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn't have a place to call home and that the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.

As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile.In my sight, I found a lot of homeless people in need of something to eat were waiting in the queue.In the next few hours I was very busy giving out the meat and other food items into their hands.And what moved me most was that when those hungry people went off, they also left with some friendly words of gratitude.Though I felt rather tired and worn out,I still seemed delighted.Seeing what I did make their day,I felt deep pleasure welling up from the bottom of my heart.
I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way.Never had I ever experienced such an appealing situation.It was definitely a rewarding thing to do the community service! Following the lady's advice, I even tried my best to know them.And it turned out that the seemingly dangerous people were actually quite friendly.Through this unforgettable experience, I also earned something more valuable.To help the people in need is also a help to myself.By offering the voluntary assistance, we can not only actually comfort the poor people, but also lift our own spirits, which can help build a better world with warmth and friendliness for all of us.

To some people, the sizzle and clatter of restaurant kitchens might be like an orchestra; to me, such sounds behind the swinging doors just meant chaos.However unpleasant I felt the places were, I decided to apply for a parttime job at a popular restaurant.The reason was simple:I needed money.I wanted to join a camping trip to the Blue Mountains with my friends, but that would cost about 150 dollars.“You have to pay for entertainment by yourself,” my parents said.
So I applied, and Mr.Smith, the boss of the restaurant, allowed me to have a try.My job was super easy and boring:the newly prepared dishes would be put at the counter between the kitchen and dining room, and it was my duty to deliver them to the right customers.
The first few days were tiring but OK.However, setbacks soon followed as I struggled to keep pace during a particularly busy lunch rush.I awkwardly spilled a tray of drinks, making loud noises and the floor messy.I was embarrassed and began to feel nervous.One evening, I mixed up orders for a large party, causing chaos and frustration.

I felt desperate.I screwed everything up.Then I heard Mr.Smith call me, and I went into his office with my head low.To my surprise, he didn't blame me.Instead, he made me a cup of coffee.“Relax, young man,” he said.“Try to smile.Things always go wrong if you can't really enjoy what you're doing.Feel the fun in the job, and you'll be OK!”
I thought he was right.The next day when I was working, I glimpsed into the kitchen and was amazed:in the narrow and crowded space everyone was busy — the chefs swirling (翻动) pans, the manager yelling customers' requirements, others coming and going with dishes to deliver — but everything went smoothly without any lumping or bumping.This was incredible!

My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change.
On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr.Smith's office again when I finished my job.

My attitudes towards the restaurant job began to change.I smiled to everyone I met, and they returned me with warmer smiles, which made me relaxed and even more concentrated on my job.Following the smiles were natural conversations, jokes and laughter, and an air of harmony was created where I worked.I still made some mistakes like forgetting the change or wrong deliveries, but they were easily corrected with a little kind reminding.I even tried helping out in the kitchen preparing the food.“You can be a good chef!” They encouraged me.Why not? Who knew!
On the last day of my contract, I went into Mr.Smith's office again when I finished my job.I thanked him for giving me the job opportunity, especially for forgiving me when I caused chaos.My gratitude was sincere, for the experience not just greatly promoted my understanding of restaurant jobs, but was beneficial to anything else I would do.In return, Mr.Smith thanked me for my job performance, and paid me the salary that I needed for my camp trip.My father was right:I had to earn it by myself, because what I gained was a lot more.
