Christmas was around the corner and Edith was faced with a problem. As she walked round the large mall, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable 1 for her father. She wished that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always happy with perfume (香水). Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most 2 job. People in shops stepped on your feet and 3 you with their shoulders. Sometimes, they even knocked you over in their hurry in order to find 4 cheap before you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith stopped in front of a counter, where some ties were on show. “They are real silk,” the shop assistant told her with a smile, 5 to persuade (说服) her to buy one. But Edith knew from past 6 that her choice of ties never ever pleased her father.
She moved on 7 and then, quite by chance, stopped where some men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the shapes were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate (犹豫) for long. 8 her father only smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was quite certain to please him.
When she got home with her small but 9 present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already at the table. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” her mother told her 10 . Edith was so surprised that she could not say a single word.

I knew the hill and the forests around my house very well because I had kept exploring them since I was a child. So, it was a 1 when I found myself lost there.
One boring, cold afternoon in 2 , I had a sudden idea to hike the hill with my friends. While making our way up the hill, my friends stopped 3 to watch unknown plants and to take photos of unusual insects. These really brought us great fun. But I was just taking in fresh air and enjoying the nice views.
As the sun began to set down, we continued to move down. But shortly after that, we realized we were getting 4 —our legs feeling heavy and our energy running out. We were all clear that we could no longer go forward, so we decided to return. Instead of taking the same way back, I chose to walk down the other side of the hill, 5 I knew not far away lay the stream that would guide us to the road. But as the hilly land slowly became flat (平坦), I began to 6 : Where was the stream? Were we not on the right path?
Then I took out my phone to check the 7 , but it died in my hand in the cold air. I started feeling a bit worried. My friends felt the same way. But I quickly made myself calm down and encouraged my friends to keep walking. After watching the landmarks (地标) carefully, I saw a familiar (熟悉的) tree and finally made out the road.
That winter’s day taught me a valuable lesson—I depend too much on 8 . If my phone had worked then, I might have directly followed the GPS (全球定位系统). But I should remember to depend on life 9 and the environment around us. The true direction comes from our ability to 10 the world around us. Maps on screens may guide our steps, but it is better to trust our own instincts (本能).

Partly to have a rest, Edith stopped in front of a counter, where some ties were on show. “They are real silk,” the shop assistant told her with a smile, 5 to persuade (说服) her to buy one. But Edith knew from past 6 that her choice of ties never ever pleased her father.
She moved on 7 and then, quite by chance, stopped where some men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the shapes were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate (犹豫) for long. 8 her father only smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was quite certain to please him.
When she got home with her small but 9 present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already at the table. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” her mother told her 10 . Edith was so surprised that she could not say a single word.

Tom was a 15-year-old boy who always felt nervous about speaking in public. Every time his teacher asked him to answer questions, his hands would shake and he could 1 say a word. This made him feel lonely and even afraid to join class activities.
One day, his English teacher, Ms Li, noticed his trouble. She 2 Tom to join the school drama club. At first, Tom was 3 — he thought he would make mistakes on stage. But Ms Li encouraged him, “Everyone starts with small steps. You just need to try.”
Tom decided to give it a try. In the club, he practiced lines with his teammates every lunch break. When he forgot his lines, they never laughed at him — instead, they helped him 4 again and again. Slowly, Tom became more confident. He even played a small role in the club’s first play.
On the day of the performance, Tom was still a little nervous. But when he saw his teammates smiling at him from backstage, he took a deep breath and started speaking. To his 5 , he didn’t forget any lines and spoke clearly. After the play, the audience clapped loudly.
This experience changed Tom. Now, he is no longer afraid of speaking in public. He even volunteers to give short speeches in class. Tom learned that a 6 is not scary — what matters is having the courage to try. And with the help of friends, nothing is impossible. With his teammates’ 7 , he finished the speech successfully.
Now, Tom even volunteers to lead group discussions. He tells his classmates, “It takes time to face your fears, but once you do, you’ll surprise yourself.” He also learns to 8 the balance between drama club and study — he finishes homework first, then goes to practise. His grades don’t drop; instead, they 9 because he’s more focused in class.
Tom’s story shows that a small push and a little courage can turn a weakness into a strength. And the most valuable 10 he got is: don’t let fear stop you from trying new things.

I knew the hill and the forests around my house very well because I had kept exploring them since I was a child. So, it was a 1 when I found myself lost there.
One boring, cold afternoon in 2 , I had a sudden idea to hike the hill with my friends. While making our way up the hill, my friends stopped 3 to watch unknown plants and to take photos of unusual insects. These really brought us great fun. But I was just taking in fresh air and enjoying the nice views.
As the sun began to set down, we continued to move down. But shortly after that, we realized we were getting 4 —our legs feeling heavy and our energy running out. We were all clear that we could no longer go forward, so we decided to return. Instead of taking the same way back, I chose to walk down the other side of the hill, 5 I knew not far away lay the stream that would guide us to the road. But as the hilly land slowly became flat (平坦), I began to 6 : Where was the stream? Were we not on the right path?
Then I took out my phone to check the 7 , but it died in my hand in the cold air. I started feeling a bit worried. My friends felt the same way. But I quickly made myself calm down and encouraged my friends to keep walking. After watching the landmarks (地标) carefully, I saw a familiar (熟悉的) tree and finally made out the road.
That winter’s day taught me a valuable lesson—I depend too much on 8 . If my phone had worked then, I might have directly followed the GPS (全球定位系统). But I should remember to depend on life 9 and the environment around us. The true direction comes from our ability to 10 the world around us. Maps on screens may guide our steps, but it is better to trust our own instincts (本能).

Do you play an instrument? Have you ever made one? Terje Isungset can answer “Yes” to both 1 . Known as the 2 of Ice Music, Terje Isungset makes instruments out of something cool: ice! And he needs low temperatures to keep his instruments in good 3 .
He doesn’t use just any 4 things. “Surely you can get perfect ice from factories. But it won’t have any beautiful sounds,” Isungset says. He gets all of his ice from the wild. “It’s 5 that decides the sound of the instrument,” he says.
Isungset got the idea for ice music more than 20 years ago. “I was asked to do a concert in a frozen waterfall,” he says. “There were no books to read about, and there was 6 on the Internet,” he says. “So I had to 7 everything by myself. I tried with different shapes and sizes of ice blocks. I spent hours shaping the ice, improving my designs until I was happy with the results.”
Several years ago, Isungset helped start the Ice Music Festival Norway in Europe. It is 8 in February every year. “As you can imagine, there is a lot of work to do for an ice concert,” Isungsct says. “We come to a place, we 9 the ice, and then we build the venue (场地) with it.”
Some of Isungset’s instruments are based on common ones, 10 others are dreamed up. “For the festival, I have a goal of trying to invent a new instrument every year,” he says.
What happens when the show is over? “We give everything back to nature,” Isungset says.
