The next day, the son went to the curator (馆长). The man checked the stone 7 and said, “This is a valuable mineral specimen (矿物标本)!

Looking at her empty paper, Mary thought, “A picture of oneself is the hardest.” 2 to her surprise, everyone else seemed to be working already. 3 rose in Mary’s heart. She was afraid that she 4 not make it at all.
“Class, you may show some of your favourite things. I can’t wait to see 5 you are going to share!” Ms. Carter said cheerfully. She walked 6 amazed at students’ works. Mary felt a knot in her stomach (胃) as Ms. Carter stopped and looked over her shoulder. All that Ms. Carter could see was her 7 piece of paper.
“I… I just can’t do it. It’s just too hard.” Mary felt upset.
“It’s OK, Mary. A picture of oneself is 8 for a lot of people,” Ms. Carter said. “Tell me, Mary, what seems so hard for 9 ?”
“I can’t 10 one thing that symbolizes (象征) me. I don’t even have a 11 food!” Mary explained. “When I’m sick, my favourite food is chicken soup. At picnics, bananas. And on my birthday, chocolates. It is impossible for me to pick one favourite.”
“There’s 12 wrong with not having one favourite thing, Mary,” said Ms. Carter, “The fact that you have different ‘favourites’ is really amazing,” Ms. Carter went on. “What if you use this project to 13 many parts of yourself-what you’re interested in, how you feel, even what foods you like to eat at different times?”
14 by Ms. Carter’s words, Mary collected different colored pencils, picking a bright yellow that looked like a banana. Then, she decided upon a brown one for chocolates… Finally, she filled her paper with different-sized and colored circles to be her faces.
Mary drew several pictures of herself, and each one showed what she was 15 at different times. She realized that she didn’t need to find just one symbol—she was all of them.

Fast-forward to this New Year, Grandpa was in hospital, and we'd have our family get-together there. To bring a bit of 10 to the family, I decided to make the apple cake at home by myself. But I was 11 myself the whole time. I was afraid the cake was going to taste terrible 12 it didn’t have Grandpa’s touch.
At the hospital, everyone was standing by him, creating some 13 . Grandpa looked down at the cake and then 14 at me and smiled. And I felt memories of our shared moments flooding back to him. Even though he was in hospital, it felt like we had made the cake together.

Last Saturday afternoon, sunlight filled the kitchen as I decided to learn how to make dumplings from my grandmother. I felt excited and 1 , thinking it looked easy when Grandma did it with her skilled hands.
Grandma began patiently. She showed me 2 to press the dough(面团) into a round shape and put the filling in the middle. Then, she 3 it and pressed the edges(边缘) together. In just a few seconds, she had made a perfect dumpling. “Your 4 ,” she said kindly.
I started with hope, but my dough was not smooth—too thin in some places, too 5 in others-and the filling kept falling out. My first dumpling looked rather strange. “I can’t do it,” I said, feeling 6 .
Grandma placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. “ 7 gets it perfect the first time. The secret is not to 8 . Watch my hands again, and feel the dough with your 9 .”
This time, I watched closely, noticing her gentle pressure. I took a deep breath and tried again, focusing on (专注于) each step. The next one wasn’t pretty, but it was better. I kept going.
After about ten tries, I 10 made one that looked almost like Grandma’s—not perfect, but it stood upright (直立的) and held its filling. A strong feeling of 11 came over me. Grandma smiled warmly. “You see? Through practice and patience, anything is 12 .”
That evening, as our family gathered to eat, I could easily 13 my own dumplings among the beautiful ones. When I tasted them, I felt happy, not just because of the delicious food, but also 14 the joy of learning and the warmth of Grandma’s teaching. 15 , I realize we weren’t just making dumplings. We were creating a memory filled with patience and love.

School never came as easily to me as it did to some others. At 17, I entered a local community college. I was studying performing arts there. 1 there were things I loved about the performing arts world, the things I hated about it seemed to grow and carry more 2 . So I decided to drop out of school completely, during which I 3 a job offer.
My starting salary (薪水) was pretty 4 for a young girl without a college degree. So I did what any money-hungry young person would do in that situation: I thought I was set for life, and 5 all my dreams, hobbies and talents behind. 6 , things aren’t so simple. The heavy work burned me out and left me feeling physically and mentally sick. In the end, I decided to 7 and never look back.
No matter how hard I tried to tell 8 that I was free after leaving college, I felt unfulfilled (壮志未酬的) from time to time. So I turned my old 9 into challenges for myself. In the fall of 2022, I returned to study Journalism in Middlebury and English at Mercy College. Because of a(an) 10 teacher at Mercy, I ended up studying Italian in Middlebury College’s exchange program last summer, which is a life-changing 11 .
I’m certainly tired, but it’s been worth my work. As people say, nothing worth having comes 12 . I finally had my very last day of school this week, and I was well prepared for my exams and left school 13 honors. If someone had told me two years ago what my life would be like now, I wouldn’t believe it.

“The project today is called ‘Tell Us About Yourself’,” Ms. Carter announced to her class. “You are all going to draw a picture of yourself. I want you to tell us something about yourself through the 1 .”
Looking at her empty paper, Mary thought, “A picture of oneself is the hardest.” 2 to her surprise, everyone else seemed to be working already. 3 rose in Mary’s heart. She was afraid that she 4 not make it at all.
“Class, you may show some of your favourite things. I can’t wait to see 5 you are going to share!” Ms. Carter said cheerfully. She walked 6 amazed at students’ works. Mary felt a knot in her stomach (胃) as Ms. Carter stopped and looked over her shoulder. All that Ms. Carter could see was her 7 piece of paper.
“I… I just can’t do it. It’s just too hard.” Mary felt upset.

14 by Ms. Carter’s words, Mary collected different colored pencils, picking a bright yellow that looked like a banana. Then, she decided upon a brown one for chocolates… Finally, she filled her paper with different-sized and colored circles to be her faces.
Mary drew several pictures of herself, and each one showed what she was 15 at different times. She realized that she didn’t need to find just one symbol—she was all of them.
