Passage 8
Li Jia returned to her hometown in the remote mountains last summer, only to find the once-thriving bamboo weaving industry on the edge of 1 . The old workshops, where her grandfather once spent decades perfecting his 2 , now stood empty, their wooden frames covered in dust. The familiar sound of bamboo strips being split — once a constant backdrop to village life — had fallen silent.
When she asked Uncle Wang, the last remaining master weaver in the village, why no young people wanted to learn the craft, he sighed heavily. “Bamboo weaving takes at least five years to master, and the pay is 3 compared to factory jobs in the city. Young folks are in too much of a hurry to 4 the patience it requires. They’d rather work overtime for quick money than sit for hours splitting bamboo into thin, even strips.” His words left Li Jia with a deep sense of 5 ; she remembered watching her grandfather weave baskets as a child, his hands moving with effortless 6 , turning raw bamboo into works of art.
Determined to 7 the tradition from fading away, Li Jia quit her office job in the city and moved back home. She started by documenting Uncle Wang’s weaving process — taking hundreds of photos and videos, 8 every detail of how he softened bamboo in boiling water, split it with a bamboo knife, and wove the strips into delicate baskets and mats. At first, her efforts were met with 9 . Some villagers joked that she was “chasing ghosts of the past,” while others doubted a young woman could ever 10 such a complex craft. But Li Jia didn’t let the doubt stop her.
She set up an online shop, where she sold the pieces Uncle Wang made, and used the profits to 11 high-quality bamboo for him. She also created short videos about bamboo weaving, sharing the stories behind each piece — how a basket’s pattern was inspired by mountain clouds, or how a mat’s color reflected the village’s autumn foliage. To her surprise, the videos went viral, attracting thousands of views from people 12 in traditional crafts.
Slowly, Li Jia’s work 13 . More young people in the village began to gather around Uncle Wang’s workshop, asking to learn. She even organized workshops in nearby cities, where she taught urban residents the basics of bamboo weaving. “It’s not just about making baskets,” Li Jia told a reporter during an interview. “It’s about keeping our ancestors’ wisdom 14 — a way to let the world know that our small village has something precious to 15 .”
Today, the sound of splitting bamboo has returned to the village. And for Li Jia, that sound is more than just noise — it’s the sound of tradition coming back to life.

For many children, the idea of surgery is scary. But one doctor in Brazil has found a 1 way to turn fear into courage — by letting his young patients enter the operating room 2 superheroes.
Dr. Leandro B.Guimarães, an ear, nose, and throat specialist, began this 3 after a difficult moment with a little girl named Allana. Just two years old, she 4 uncontrollably as he carried her toward the operating room. That day, he made himself a 5 : no child would ever go into surgery in tears again.
His solution? Superhero costumes.
“I let the children choose which one they want to 6 ,” Guimarães explained. “I tell them we will go in ‘flying’ or running and that we are going to 7 their nose and ears. I enter the surgical room when they are ready and 8 the game.”
He even encourages 9 to join if a child is still nervous. The goal is always the same — to make the experience calmer, lighter, and a little bit 10 .
The doctor 11 the joyful entrances, sometimes running alongside kids imitating Batman, Spider-Man, or Wonder Woman, and shares the videos with parents. “They love it because they can show their children how 12 they were,” he said.
By turning anxious steps into superhero strides (步伐), Dr. Guimarães shows that medicine is about more than procedures — it’s about 13 .
His thoughtful 14 not only comforts his patients but also reminds families that kindness and imagination can be just as 15 as medicine itself.

But my undergraduate advisers were 5 and suggested I focus on one field. These experiences left me 6 my plans.
But things changed after I started rowing. I 7 joined my college’s boat club just to expand my social circle.

I assumed rowing was demanding. Luckily, my fellow rowers 9 me, who not only gave me guidance to improve my 10 , but made me feel valued. Thus, I now 11 the fact I’m already doing what once appeared impossible when I’m having my doubts about 12 in science.
Rowing also helped me develop discipline and a new approach for tackling difficult tasks. I also began to use a strategy of rowing in my PhD.: viewing my 13 experiments as many simple goals. Instead of giving in to the fear of 14 , I focused on how to ensure each step was successful. Over time, I’ve found a new level of 15 — both on the water and in the lab.

Passage 14
My sister Lily decided to take up cycling to get fit after years of a sedentary office job. I wholeheartedly 1 her decision, knowing how important it was for her well-being. To show my support, I bought her a nice pair of cycling gloves and signed up for a local 20-mile cycling event with her.
As we gathered at the starting point on that sunny but breezy morning, we 2 our bikes nervously, checking the gears and brakes one last time. “Are you sure you won’t get annoyed if I 3 a bit slower?” she asked, her eyes filled with a mix of excitement and worry. She had only started 4 on weekends a month ago. “Of course not,” I reassured her with a smile.
When the starting horn (号角) 5 , Lily pedaled off steadily. At first, I stayed right beside her, chatting and enjoying the scenery. But as the road opened up and the wind seemed to push me forward, my competitive side took over. I gradually 6 my speed, thinking she would catch up. After a few miles, I looked back, and Lily was no longer in my line of sight. I kept going, pushing myself harder, and crossed the finish line in a 7 time of just under an hour. I felt a rush of pride, despite not having trained intensively.
Lily arrived at the finish line almost twenty minutes later, her face red and tired. She was clearly 8 , feeling that she had let me down. I couldn’t believe she thought that way. I gave her a big hug and told her how proud I was of her for even finishing the race.
Determined to improve, Lily made a plan. She decided to cycle to work three times a week and 9 to participate in more cycling events. I watched her 10 early in the morning, even when it was foggy or drizzling. I saw her face strong headwinds and deal with flat tires on the 11 country roads. There were times when she was 12 by steep hills and wanted to give up, but she never did.
Finally, the day of the big regional cycling race came. This time, I made up my mind to stay with her. We pedaled side by side, encouraging each other. When we were about to reach the finish line, Lily found some extra strength and 13 ahead. She crossed the line just a few seconds before me, her eyes shining with joy and 14 . She had not only overcome her own self-doubt but also achieved a goal she once thought was impossible. Her 15 legs from hours of cycling didn’t seem to bother her at all; all that mattered was the sense of accomplishment she felt.

Over the next two weeks, we worked side by side. He wasn’t the person I thought he was. He didn’t avoid people; he just didn’t know how to 12 . He didn’t look down on others; he was just shy. The day we presented our project, he spoke 13 and with surprising humor. After class, when our teacher praised us, I turned to Marcus and said, “I’m glad we got paired up.” He looked down, smiled slightly and replied, “Me too.”
That day I realized how easy it is to misunderstand someone when you don’t 14 to look deeper. Since then, I’ve tried to listen more closely, 15 more slowly, and give people the space to show me who they are.

Passage 8
Li Jia returned to her hometown in the remote mountains last summer, only to find the once-thriving bamboo weaving industry on the edge of 1 . The old workshops, where her grandfather once spent decades perfecting his 2 , now stood empty, their wooden frames covered in dust. The familiar sound of bamboo strips being split — once a constant backdrop to village life — had fallen silent.
When she asked Uncle Wang, the last remaining master weaver in the village, why no young people wanted to learn the craft, he sighed heavily. “Bamboo weaving takes at least five years to master, and the pay is 3 compared to factory jobs in the city. Young folks are in too much of a hurry to 4 the patience it requires. They’d rather work overtime for quick money than sit for hours splitting bamboo into thin, even strips.” His words left Li Jia with a deep sense of 5 ; she remembered watching her grandfather weave baskets as a child, his hands moving with effortless 6 , turning raw bamboo into works of art.
Determined to 7 the tradition from fading away, Li Jia quit her office job in the city and moved back home. She started by documenting Uncle Wang’s weaving process — taking hundreds of photos and videos, 8 every detail of how he softened bamboo in boiling water, split it with a bamboo knife, and wove the strips into delicate baskets and mats. At first, her efforts were met with 9 . Some villagers joked that she was “chasing ghosts of the past,” while others doubted a young woman could ever 10 such a complex craft. But Li Jia didn’t let the doubt stop her.
She set up an online shop, where she sold the pieces Uncle Wang made, and used the profits to 11 high-quality bamboo for him. She also created short videos about bamboo weaving, sharing the stories behind each piece — how a basket’s pattern was inspired by mountain clouds, or how a mat’s color reflected the village’s autumn foliage. To her surprise, the videos went viral, attracting thousands of views from people 12 in traditional crafts.
Slowly, Li Jia’s work 13 . More young people in the village began to gather around Uncle Wang’s workshop, asking to learn. She even organized workshops in nearby cities, where she taught urban residents the basics of bamboo weaving. “It’s not just about making baskets,” Li Jia told a reporter during an interview. “It’s about keeping our ancestors’ wisdom 14 — a way to let the world know that our small village has something precious to 15 .”
Today, the sound of splitting bamboo has returned to the village. And for Li Jia, that sound is more than just noise — it’s the sound of tradition coming back to life.

Passage 9
I’d been exploring the 40-hectare woods around our cottage my whole life and I knew the way well. So it was a 1 when I found myself lost there.
One dull cold February afternoon, I had a sudden 2 to hike the hill with my two daughters. Putting on our snowshoes, we immediately 3 northwestward. While making our way up the hill, my daughters stopped occasionally to investigate unknown plants and to look at the abandoned deer beds... These really made their 4 .
As the shadows started to 5 , we moved further up. Soon, weariness began to 6 enthusiasm. We decided to return. Instead of backtracking over our 7 route, I chose to walk down the steep side of the hill, 8 my general sense that ahead of us lay the stream that would guide us to the road. But as the terrain (地形) leveled out, I had my first major moment of 9 : Where was the stream? Were we off course?
I instinctively (本能地) pulled out my phone to get my location, but it 10 in my hand in the cold air.
11 , I started feeling a bit panicky. However, I quickly 12 myself, reassuring my daughters to continue walking. Focusing on the landmarks, I spotted a familiar tree and eventually 13 the road.

Passage 10
A Christmas Gift for Hurricane Survivors
In late 2024, Hurricane Helene caused severe damage in Western North Carolina. The country lay 1 from the howling winds and relentless rain of the hurricane. While recovery efforts were underway, 2 of Medina, Ohio — a town 500 miles away — 500 miles north, in Medina, Ohio, a group of guardian angels started planning a surprise.
Instead of sending supplies, the people of Medina organized a special holiday trip called “The Promise of 3 .” They arranged buses to bring 200 hurricane survivors, many of whom had 4 their homes, to Ohio for a weekend of Christmas celebrations.
The event was the 5 of Mark and Dana Klaus, who owned Castle Noel — Medina’s famous year-round Christmas museum. After seeing the hurricane’s 6 on television, Mark proposed his idea to the town’s mayor. The idea quickly spread, and soon everyone who 7 it wanted to participate. 8 , they raised $250,000 and recruited 110 volunteers.
The weekend included a welcome dinner where each guest received $250, tours of Castle Noel, downtown shopping, a special 9 starring the high school marching band and fireworks.
As Dana Klaus explained, “It was about 10 them away from the terrible situation they were 11 day to day.”
The grateful visitors 12 the buses back home on Sunday morning without having spent any of their own money. But as one Carolina resident noted 13 , the true value was more than 14 . “When we got back to the real world, we were 15 and ready to keep fighting,” said James Scarborough.

Passage 11
For many children, the idea of surgery is scary. But one doctor in Brazil has found a 1 way to turn fear into courage — by letting his young patients enter the operating room 2 superheroes.
Dr. Leandro B.Guimarães, an ear, nose, and throat specialist, began this 3 after a difficult moment with a little girl named Allana. Just two years old, she 4 uncontrollably as he carried her toward the operating room. That day, he made himself a 5 : no child would ever go into surgery in tears again.
His solution? Superhero costumes.
“I let the children choose which one they want to 6 ,” Guimarães explained. “I tell them we will go in ‘flying’ or running and that we are going to 7 their nose and ears. I enter the surgical room when they are ready and 8 the game.”
He even encourages 9 to join if a child is still nervous. The goal is always the same — to make the experience calmer, lighter, and a little bit 10 .
The doctor 11 the joyful entrances, sometimes running alongside kids imitating Batman, Spider-Man, or Wonder Woman, and shares the videos with parents. “They love it because they can show their children how 12 they were,” he said.
By turning anxious steps into superhero strides (步伐), Dr. Guimarães shows that medicine is about more than procedures — it’s about 13 .
His thoughtful 14 not only comforts his patients but also reminds families that kindness and imagination can be just as 15 as medicine itself.

Passage 12
As a child, I was convinced that a career in health was for me. I dreamed of creating pioneering 1 to treat patients all around the world.
But as the years progressed, my 2 seemed unattainable. It was hard to see myself in a field where few people from my 3 were represented, since I was one of the only black students in my STEM courses. I wanted to become both a(n) 4 and a surgeon. As a first-generation student, I also struggled to find guidance on how to reach my career goal. But my undergraduate advisers were 5 and suggested I focus on one field. These experiences left me 6 my plans.
But things changed after I started rowing. I 7 joined my college’s boat club just to expand my social circle. Rowing suffers from the same lack of 8 as biomedical research, with very few black women rowers. When I joined the boat club, I was very nervous — the same feeling I experienced in science. I assumed rowing was demanding. Luckily, my fellow rowers 9 me, who not only gave me guidance to improve my 10 , but made me feel valued. Thus, I now 11 the fact I’m already doing what once appeared impossible when I’m having my doubts about 12 in science.
Rowing also helped me develop discipline and a new approach for tackling difficult tasks. I also began to use a strategy of rowing in my PhD.: viewing my 13 experiments as many simple goals. Instead of giving in to the fear of 14 , I focused on how to ensure each step was successful. Over time, I’ve found a new level of 15 — both on the water and in the lab.

Passage 13
The August sun beat down without mercy. My father and I dragged our heavy backpacks through the dusty hills. My throat was dried, my legs weak. I was about to 1 when he pointed a dusty finger toward the horizon. “A 2 ,” he croaked.
A spark of hope lit inside me. I 3 a fruit tree, its branches heavy with something sweet. My mouth 4 at the thought of a crisp apple. My father, more practical, guessed a pear tree. Fueled by this 5 , we pushed on, our tired legs finding new strength.
But as we got closer, my hope faded. The tree was a sturdy oak, but its branches held only 6 . Disappointment washed over me. “It’s useless,” I muttered, 7 against the trunk.
Just then, the sky darkened. A cool wind whipped up, and heavy raindrops began to fall. “Under here!” my father 8 . We rushed beneath the oak’s wide canopy as the sky opened up. The tree acted as a perfect umbrella, its thick leaves 9 us completely.
As dusk fell, a chill filled the air. Seeing me shiver, my father 10 fallen branches from around the tree’s base. Soon, he had a small, crackling fire going. We huddled close, its 11 pushing back the cold.
Using a thick layer of dry oak leaves, we made a soft 12 for the night. Lying there, sheltered, I 13 the rain patter above. The tree I had called 14 had given us shelter and a safe rest. Some 15 are not the ones you seek, but the ones you find.

Passage 14
My sister Lily decided to take up cycling to get fit after years of a sedentary office job. I wholeheartedly 1 her decision, knowing how important it was for her well-being. To show my support, I bought her a nice pair of cycling gloves and signed up for a local 20-mile cycling event with her.
As we gathered at the starting point on that sunny but breezy morning, we 2 our bikes nervously, checking the gears and brakes one last time. “Are you sure you won’t get annoyed if I 3 a bit slower?” she asked, her eyes filled with a mix of excitement and worry. She had only started 4 on weekends a month ago. “Of course not,” I reassured her with a smile.
When the starting horn (号角) 5 , Lily pedaled off steadily. At first, I stayed right beside her, chatting and enjoying the scenery. But as the road opened up and the wind seemed to push me forward, my competitive side took over. I gradually 6 my speed, thinking she would catch up. After a few miles, I looked back, and Lily was no longer in my line of sight. I kept going, pushing myself harder, and crossed the finish line in a 7 time of just under an hour. I felt a rush of pride, despite not having trained intensively.
Lily arrived at the finish line almost twenty minutes later, her face red and tired. She was clearly 8 , feeling that she had let me down. I couldn’t believe she thought that way. I gave her a big hug and told her how proud I was of her for even finishing the race.
Determined to improve, Lily made a plan. She decided to cycle to work three times a week and 9 to participate in more cycling events. I watched her 10 early in the morning, even when it was foggy or drizzling. I saw her face strong headwinds and deal with flat tires on the 11 country roads. There were times when she was 12 by steep hills and wanted to give up, but she never did.
Finally, the day of the big regional cycling race came. This time, I made up my mind to stay with her. We pedaled side by side, encouraging each other. When we were about to reach the finish line, Lily found some extra strength and 13 ahead. She crossed the line just a few seconds before me, her eyes shining with joy and 14 . She had not only overcome her own self-doubt but also achieved a goal she once thought was impossible. Her 15 legs from hours of cycling didn’t seem to bother her at all; all that mattered was the sense of accomplishment she felt.

Passage 15
Just ahead on the narrow road, the light from Kim’s torch (手电筒) flashed towards me. Her bike stayed 1 , but mine was shaking all over the place. I had completely lost my 2 . It seemed cycling in the 3 had caused my mind to lose all sense of direction.
I looked hard, hoping to 4 the grass edges, but there was nothing but Kim’s 5 torchlight far ahead. My heart pounded wildly. I was trying my best to keep this anxiety internal, not wanting Kim to 6 the full extent of my fear.
So I forced my 7 back to the forest we had cycled through earlier: the tall trees, the sound of the wind and something 8 for me now — the sense of excitement I felt. 9 by this memory, I tried to put aside the anxiety. I 10 my phone’s torch. The light was weak, but it was enough: the heaviness around my vision 11 and I found my balance again.
As I pushed into the pedals (脚踏板) and began to move, I 12 a sky full of countless stars. Then, I saw something even more 13 . “KIM!” She turned, thinking something was wrong. But 14 high above us was a magical shooting star, bright with a thick tail in its wake.
That night, I learned a valuable lesson: Don’t let the darkness stop you from moving forward. Sometimes all you need is a little more 15 to find your way.
