However, as my fellow graduates shared their insights on what made the novel so great, my perspective gradually 10 .

When I was a teenager, I worked part-time at a small community bakery run by a kind elderly couple. They treated every customer patiently, often 1 extra food to homeless people. Their quiet kindness shaped my view of love, and I determined to 2 the warmth in daily life.
One freezing rainy evening, a ragged young boy stepped in, 3 with cold and hunger. He whispered that he was lost and had eaten nothing all day. I prepared warm bread and milk for him 4 , avoiding unwanted attention. The boy thanked me softly and 5 into the rain. I watched his small figure fade, praying he would find 6 soon.
Years later, buried in heavy coursework and academic pressure, I felt 7 and helpless. Exhaustion wore me down, and negative thoughts 8 my mind. Just as I was about to 9 hope, a letter arrived unexpectedly. Inside was cash and a handwritten note from the boy I had helped 10 years before.
He wrote that he never forgot my small kindness and 11 for years to find and repay me. That warm meal inspired him to be a caring person. I was deeply touched by his 12 , with warmth flooding my chest. No sincere kindness is wasted, and every 13 deed plants a seed of love that grows and blooms.
Small kindness may go unnoticed, but it creates a ripple effect that 14 far beyond expectations. Kindness is the most precious 15 one heart can offer, weaving an unbreakable bond between souls across time and distance.

Passage 5
British photographer Beckie Burr first became interested in ancient sites during a trip to Dartmoor in 2018. “Standing among the stones, I found myself imagining how they looked thousands of years ago. That sense of 1 endlessly inspires me.” She describes photographing ancient sites as something of a 2 .
Burr always visits each location 3 . She’ll walk around, looking at the site from all 4 . “Some stones can look very different from one side to the other.” On a pre-shoot visit, it’s also important to work out 5 , not least because many sites are on private land.
Burr admits that luck and patience play a part. Sometimes conditions will not be 6 . “Many of my photographs are the 7 of going back multiple times until I can get the shot I 8 in the beginning.” 9 to keep post-processing to a minimum, Burr tries to make each image as close to how she sees the scene as possible.
Searching for elements that 10 the viewer into the scene — “leading lines, shapes, or viewpoints that make you feel part of the site” — Burr says every 11 must tell a story. “I’m not interested in simply 12 a site.”
Her advice to others is to just start. “Go to a place that calls to you and spend time there,” she 13 . “You don’t need lots of gear. If you 14 with the place, it will show in your photos. Each stone has its own personality, its own energy or ‘memory’. This is what I try to 15 in my photos.”

Passage 1
I joined the International Crane (鹤) Foundation in 1986. My job was to feed chicks needing care and 1 them for the wild.
Young birds usually 2 the first large moving object they see to be their parent, so it’s important we 3 them from bonding with humans. At first, feeding was done from behind a barrier to reduce 4 ,but this wasn’t really practical.
One day, a colleague put on pink pants and threw a sheet over himself to take on the 5 of a crane. A lot of the staff thought he was crazy, but 6 ,the chicks responded well. So, we decided to 7 this method and began to wear crane costumes equipped with puppet (木偶) heads. It was a 8 job. When we first wore the costumes, it could be hard to control the 9 to react as a human, so we spent an extended period 10 to this process.
Before release, we trained the birds to 11 real cranes’ signals and movements. For example, cranes often tilt (倾斜) their heads at others to warn them against coming too close. We would do that to get a chick to 12 . We also copied adults’ “pre-flight”call and flapped our wings. Though it looked ridiculous, seeing them take flight made me feel like a(n) 13 parent.
This solution has proven 14 , as evidenced by the growth in population size. Watching these chicks return to the wild, I felt my work was particularly 15 .

Passage 2
I can’t think of childhood without thinking of nature. I 1 in a coastal state and my home was near the national forest in New Hampshire. As a child, I 2 in the woods, on the beach, river, snow, and in the rain. My 3 wasn’t extraordinary. We lived in a wealthy town on the train line to New York City. My dad 4 in Manhattan every day. My family just did things a little differently. We always recycled, turned off lights, didn’t heat the 5 much, didn’t waste food, and never littered. We simply were 6 to love, respect, and care for nature.
Now I am a professional 7 . I have been around the world meeting many people. I 8 that the mindset I have held since my childhood needed to be widely shared. I learned as a teenager that the way I believed in protecting 9 was, in fact, unique. In my 10 , I have been to the most beautiful mountains. I watched with deep sorrow the glaciers melt, the mountains dry, and the summers get 11 over the past ten years. This lighted my strong 12 to protect the environment.
I invested in (申请获得) citizenship to the country of Vanuatu. I will proudly 13 in the halfpipe skiing World Cup for Vanuatu this winter to bring a global approach to fighting the climate crisis. I long to compete in the Winter Olympics for Vanuatu and use the world’s largest 14 celebrating human achievement to highlight our human ambition to 15 the impossible in the climate crisis.

Passage 3
Mariah Reading is an environmentalist, who grew up with an early appreciation for nature. While studying art at Bowdoin College, she saw the vast amounts of 1 from her painting and sculpture classes. She began to seriously consider her footprint as a(n) 2 . “How can I paint landscapes if I’m 3 them?” she thought. Then she started using the refuse as her canvas (画布).
After graduation, Mariah travelled throughout the country, 4 rubbish to bring to her studio. One day, a 5 hubcap (轮毂盖) she found alongside the road gave her a new 6 . She noticed the half hubcap had cracked off to 7 the line of the mountain range that she was in. So she 8 the mountain landscape on it and held it up in front of the real 9 and took a photo. It became the first in her 10 series.
Over the years, she has painted more than 100 pieces of rubbish and photographed her transformations 11 real-life landscapes. It’s like 12 new life into forgotten objects. Her practice 13 the principle of “leaving no trace” by 14 painting with sculpture and photography.
Mariah hopes people see themselves and their own habits 15 into her works and make small changes in their everyday lives.

Passage 4
A one-year-old dog named Tinsley saved her owner’s life. She is therefore getting praise and extra 1 .
Several police officers responded to a report of a dog loose on Highway 89, around 10 pm on Monday. When they tried to 2 her, she ran north along the highway. A short time later the 3 found a damaged section of guardrail (护栏) at a nearby crossing. They 4 a badly damaged pickup truck that had 5 over, and two people ejected (弹出) from it. Both were suffering hypothermia (低体温) and serious injuries and were later admitted to a local hospital.
While at the scene, the officers learned that Tinsley, who did not appear to be hurt in the 6 , belonged to one of the pickup’s 7 . Lt. Daniel of the New Hampshire State Police said that it was unclear how long the two men had been outside of the 8 , and he added that Tinsley had 9 been outside for a little bit, since her fur was 10 . “This was almost like a real-life Lassie (a movie with the theme of dog saving owner) situation,” Daniel said. “It’s really quite remarkable. This dog 11 saved their lives. I don’t think they would have survived the night given the temperatures.”
Tinsley’s story has already gotten significant 12 from national and local media outlets, including My NBC5 and WCVB-TV, which posted a photo of the 13 hero herself. The officers on the scene called the police, who credit their fast 14 to Tinsley. Captain Jack Hedges of the Hartford Fire Department said that while the officers were 15 the two men, the dog sat there nice and calm, right next to her owner.

Passage 5
A poor Turkish fisherman, Yilmaz, heard a noise while pulling his net from a lake fourteen years ago. He turned and found a bird standing on the bow of his boat. Yilmaz 1 it as one of the white storks that had long summered in the village. Wondering if it was 2 , he cast it a fish, which the bird swallowed. He cast another and then another. The unlikely tale of a man and a bird has 3 Turks during the years, spreading the pair’s story as a modern-day fable of cross-species 4 .
The stork, nicknamed Yaren, not only returned to Yilmaz’s boat 5 the first year, according to Yilmaz, but 6 the next spring to the same village, the same nest and the same boat after migrating south for the winter. Not long ago, after Yaren appeared in the 7 for the 14th year in a row, the local news media joyfully 8 his arrival. The pair’s story has brought unexpected 9 although it has brought Yilmaz no serious fortune. They have co-starred in a children’s book and an award-winning 10 .
Ali Ozkan, a mayor whose 11 includes the village, said in an interview, “It is a true story with the flavor of a tale.” The story has 12 groups of students and tourists to see the storks and take boat rides on 13 Lake Ulubat. They look at Yaren’s nest, which 14 on a platform atop an electric pole near Yilmaz’s house. When they encounter Yilmaz, they would ask him to 15 his story related to Yaren.
