Over three years, I worked my way through every course, 12 my associate’s degree at the age of 45. People often ask why I 13 so much stress to go back to school. The answer isn’t just the degree.

She gave me an address and asked, “Could you 7 through downtown?” “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered. “Oh, I’m in no 8 . I’m going to a hospice.” She was seriously sick. I quietly 9 the meter. For two hours, we drove. She 10 me her old places. Sometimes she just sat 11 , staring into the dark. When the sun began to 12 , we drove to the hospice. “How much do I 13 you?” “Nothing,” I hugged her. “You gave an old woman a little moment of 14 ,” she said gratefully.

Normally, I carry the core (果核) into the kitchen dustbin marked “organics.” But one day, I 1 the core as I climbed out of the car. Guiltily, I kicked it toward the fence, 2 myself to pick it up later. Of course. I forgot all about it. The next morning, I noticed rabbit footprints around the fence. I remembered the apple core and felt a moment of 3 that some creature had found the treat I’d 4 left. I found myself grinning, and the happy moment stuck in my mind. That evening, I did the same thing at the same spot. To my delight, more 5 of different animals were found. I began to Google them and take 6 for the following months in identifying my visitors. I felt 7 to a different world that existed all around me. I didn’t share my new 8 with anyone and I knew the complaints from my neighbors about my seemingly innocent gifts. I 9 all their cautionary voices and enjoyed my 10 every morning until one day, the driveway was full of large prints, scattered mud and leaves, which deeply 11 the neighbors. I didn’t say a word but 12 leaving my cores and my secret co-existence with wildlife came to an end. This episode was just one innocent 13 to lessen the divide between ourselves and the many species with whom we co-exist.

The very word “math” used to fill me with 1 . While others handled formulas (公式) with ease, I struggled a lot. So I 2 math whenever possible, accepting numbers just weren’t my thing. Then came junior year with an unexpected change. Due to a course selection 3 , I got placed in an advanced statistics class. I panicked and considered begging the counselor to 4 . But by the time I checked, the drop deadline had 5 . I had no choice but to stay. The first few weeks were rough. I felt like learning a new language. However, there was something 6 about this class. The teacher didn’t just write formulas. He told stories with data, showing how statistics could 7 real-world problems. Then came the 8 that made all the difference. We were asked to collect data and analyze it to answer a 9 we were curious about. Half-jokingly, I chose: “Does sleep affect test scores?” I surveyed classmates, tracked sleep habits, and created graphs with my group members. To my surprise, I enjoyed every part of the 10 . I especially liked finding patterns and telling stories with 11 . When I presented my findings, I felt 12 — not just for surviving the task, but because something finally made sense.

My Mom 1 me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house. Being a(n) 2 boy, however, I soon hiked further away, 3 just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost. After losing my way once for two hours, though, I decided to leave a 4 the next time I went for a walk. The next day, I walked into the woods until the house was out of 5 . Then I broke a small branch to mark my place. I wandered further in and 6 another branch and then another. In a few spots where there were no branches 7 enough, I picked the heads off some flowers. Finally I got tired and decided to 8 . Turning around I easily found my 9 , but instead of being proud I felt 10 . I could see the 11 I had left going on and on. Looking at the branches and flowers I wondered if people were disappointed in me and I 12 never to do that again. There is an old saying that goes “We will be 13 forever by the tracks we leave.” As I have grown older and 14 , I have done my best to never leave damage in my life as I did in the woods that day.

Hours later, I had 1 my first short story. Writing 2 became a beloved hobby, but as I grew older, the 3 began to fade. I started reading more books, encountering critiques online, and comparing my work to others. Self-doubt crept in, and what once felt like a creative outlet became a source of 4 . I felt I had to be “good” at writing to share it. This 5 happens often. Hobbies start as a form of 6 , a way to relax ourselves. Yet, over time, societal pressures to 7 can change how we view them. Whether it’s painting, playing an instrument, or any other 8 , there’s an expectation to perform at a high level. When we don’t meet that standard, the joy fades, replaced by feelings of inadequacy. For me, writing has been the one hobby I’ve regularly returned to, 9 moments of self-doubt. I’ve taken creative writing classes and seen significant improvement, but the constant 10 for perfection turns writing from a 11 into a chore. I’ve come to realize that this mindset 12 me of the joy I once found in it. We need to recognize that it’s 13 not to be great at something. Perfection is often 14 , and more often than not, we are our toughest critics. The challenge, then, is finding balance between enjoyment and 15 . Embrace imperfection, and enjoy the process, even if you’re not “great” at it.261 1．A．showed off B．pulled over C．cut off D．wrapped up 2．A．slowly B．openly C．quickly D．carefully 3．A．hope B．surprise C．curiosity D．excitement 4．A．relief B．truth C．inspiration D．stress 5．A．shift B．accident C．blessing D．adjustment 6．A．growth B．escape C．focus D．commitment 7．A．live B．struggle C．excel D．contribute 8．A．ideas B．pursuits C．distraction D．ambition 9．A．by means of B．with respect to C．in spite of D．in search of 10．A．drive B．doubt C．supply D．imagination 11．A．story B．passion C．challenge D．possibility 12．A．robs B．reminds C．warns D．informs 13．A．sad B．okay C．intolerable D．awesome 14．A．random B．temporary C．subjective D．magical 15．A．joy B．overwork C．enthusiasm D．expectation 词数：258 话题：接受自己的不完美，享受人生的过程 10 One day, our neighbor called again to invite my daughter Angie over to play. Angie refused, so I had to say a fib (小谎) which sounded a little 1 than a plain refusal. This small 2 forced me to face a long-held struggle: a ridiculous 3 of upsetting anyone, which made it difficult for me to say no. I remember another time that same year. My sister dropped by 4 with her children. For extra income, she needed me to babysit while she covered someone else’s 5 that evening. Exhausted by my two younger kids, I could feel the 6 aroused inside me. Reluctantly, I agreed on a 7 basis. I was trying to be 8 but was seized with anger. Aware of my discomfort, my sister asked what was wrong. Before I knew it, the truth 9 : she always put me on the spot and never asked me 10 ! She looked at me in the eye, arguing it’s my 11 . “If you didn’t want to, you should have said no! You can’t agree to do and then blame me!
