Passage 1
There was a guy I knew in university. He was always in high spirits and made the best of any situation 1 at him. In all the time I spent around him, I never once caught sight of him complaining. He was outgoing and 2 to get along with, treating everyone with 3 while sometimes he stood up for himself when needed.
I often wondered what made him 4 . People with this positive energy were very appealing. 5 , I found he never relied on others. He didn’t try to fit in. 6 , he enjoyed being himself and standing out. Nobody around him could 7 him from doing as he wished.
Then I realized what 8 : he loved himself deeply. He followed his heart. Some felt distant from him, while I truly 9 him. He kept 10 and bettering himself. Many of us 11 our self-worth on others’ approval. When we love ourselves, we set our 12 free from the cages of others’ opinions.
Self-love is like a soul garden, where the flowers of self-appreciation bloom with different colors. The more you 13 it, the richer your heart grows and the less you need outside praise. It is truly 14 . Though hard, we can still learn to love ourselves. In the end, the most important 15 is not from others, but from the person in the mirror.

Passage 2
“There’s much more to being a living statue than simply standing still,” Izabela Radcliffe, who has performed all over the world as a living statue, reveals.
“Aside from breathing without anyone noticing, moving can be the 1 aspect of being a living statue. Some moving statues don’t move at all, which fuels the audience’s 2 and keeps them watching closely. 3 , for me, the true magic of this art happens when a living statue goes from stillness to movement. Movement instantly brings a statue to 4 .”
Izabela first 5 living-statue performance at twenty when she had a summer job in London. After she completed her studies in 2019, she decided living statue art would be part of her 6 life.
Today, Izabela 7 working as a living statue with producing festivals, making theatrical costumes, 8 living statue workshops, and being a mum.

They might take a photo or tell me a joke hoping I’ll laugh. Sometimes people lean on me, 12 thinking I’m a real statue!”
On one occasion, a naughty boy 13 to throw his slice of birthday cake at Izabela’s Marie Curie statue. “I said in my measured, no-nonsense Marie Curie 14 , ‘That would not be 15 ’ — and he promptly ate his cake!” she says, laughing.

Passage 3
One morning in 2001 Ellen phoned me and asked if I wanted to go to Bosnia. I was 1 because it had just experienced a war.
Ellen 2 and told me that UN was badly in want of volunteers there. I told her I would think it over. For the rest of the day, I was torn by 3 thoughts. “Bosnia may be dangerous; do I really want to put myself at risk?” Then other 4 flashed into my mind. I liked challenges. And it was a fairyland for marvels. If I 5 the invitation, I might never get another chance. In the end, the 6 thoughts won.
A few weeks later, I 7 a plane to Tuzla, Bosnia where I spent three interesting weeks. After I returned, I was asked if I’d like to return and participate in another 8 . I said “yes” firmly.
It is twenty years since I let my optimistic thoughts 9 my negative ones. I have finished many other tasks in many other countries since then. When I 10 my first Bosnia assignment, I had traveled to three foreign countries. I continued to volunteer 11 and my 12 is now fifty-eight.
If I had listened back in 2001 to the 13 inside telling me not to take a risk, I wouldn’t be talking about this 14 now. Fortunately, I followed the voice that said, “ 15 it” and I found a brand new life after sixty!

Passage 4
When I entered senior high school, our school launched a 1 reading program for left-behind children in a mountain village. At first, I didn’t show much 2 for the plan.

However, encouraged by my teacher, I finally agreed to give it a go.
After a two-hour bus ride along winding roads, we reached the village. The children lived in simple conditions, but their eyes shone with a strong passion for knowledge. I was 4 to read stories and help them with basic English. To my surprise, they listened with full 5 and asked creative questions now and then. Some were shy at first, but they 6 grew more confident and began to share their thoughts and dreams bravely in front of the group.
A gentle girl named Li Wen 7 me most. She had a strong 8 for learning and dreamed of entering a key college. She hoped to make a 9 to her hometown and help more children there. She often said education could open up a new world for the villagers.
When it was time to say goodbye, the students waved to us warmly. This experience 10 my view on life and made me understand the meaning of 11 and care.

Passage 5
On my 62nd birthday, my friend Noel, a retired physician, pulled out his phone and showed us his new artworks. I had no idea he was 1 , let alone doing it so well. We were all watching in 2 and expressing the desire to have such talent when my son said, “Mom, you look so 3 .”
Rarely does life give you such clear 4 . For decades, I’d been a writer. But after that birthday, I turned to art and began to see the world from a(n) 5 angle.
Noel was my first art friend. He 6 me, giving me support and confidence, and praised my work. He also invited me to his critique group, where I met my 7 as I dealt with a new beginning — they advised me and directed my behaviour.
With the art friend circle enlarging surprisingly rapidly, my art friends have now begun to 8 my writer friends. I’ve met them in classes and through art events. I 9 the local art event every year, but after the change in my 10 , the involvement became an unusual experience. I began to know a few people exhibiting. Then came more 11 .

Passage 1
Last year, I was determined to climb the business ladder. I worked 1 , often staying late at the office and giving up weekends to meet deadlines. The 2 of success consumed me, and I prided myself on my 3 .
However, as months passed, I began to feel the 4 on my body and mind. Constant headaches, bad appetite and a growing sense of emotional detachment (疏离) from my work became my new normal. I was 5 , and it was affecting my health and productivity.
One evening, after yet another long day, I collapsed on my sofa. I was so tired that I couldn’t 6 cook dinner. Staring at the ceiling, I 7 I had become a machine, endlessly working. The next morning, I decided to make a change. I knew I needed to 8 self-care to regain balance in my life.
I started 9 . Every morning, I devoted 15 minutes to meditation (冥想), allowing myself to breathe and set intentions for the day. I also reintroduced 10 activities into my routine, like short walks during lunch breaks.
Gradually, I noticed a(n) 11 . My energy levels improved, and I felt more 12 both at work and in my personal life. I began setting 13 , saying no to unnecessary tasks, and carving out time for rest. Most importantly, I learned self-care isn’t 14 — it’s essential.

Three years later, Sara’s cooperative has helped over fifty families 12 poverty. Some of her first trainees now 13 small businesses in the city.

Passage 4
Maya first noticed it on a Tuesday, sitting two rows behind Leo in the classroom. Watching him 1 his lunch bag, she saw him take out a sandwich, eat it slowly, and carefully wrap the 2 half back up. Maya remembered that Leo’s family had just moved to the town and his father was still 3 a job. She wanted to help, but she knew that offering food directly would only 4 him.
So Maya started a “Share Table” in the cafeteria, placing a simple 5 on an empty table, “If you have extra food, leave it here. If you 6 something, take it.”
On the first day, she 7 three extra sandwiches and a bag of apples. Glancing across the cafeteria, Maya 8 Leo walking away from the table, an apple in his hand. By the second week, there were always a few 9 on the table. The table became a steady source of 10 for Leo. Each day, he would walk past as if by accident, his eyes quickly scanning the items before 11 one thing. He ate his half-sandwich first, saving whatever he took for later. It meant he no longer went 12 in the afternoon.
At the end of the school year, Maya found a small note in her backpack, “You just made a place where I could eat without 13 . Thank you.” Maya smiled and slipped the note into her pocket.

Passage 5
This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and 1 .
Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway. Since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could.
On one hike, I found myself on a bridge made of two partly rotten logs, 2 high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing 3 words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I 4 along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with intense excitement and huge 5 .
Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game.
Until suddenly, time stood 6 .
We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’ s a bear.” I looked up in 7 and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us — the mother in front, her baby behind.
8 scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked. I wondered if it would be my 9 memory. As they started towards us, we shouted and waved our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, then slowly 10 . Another fear was overcome!
On our final morning, we were asked to bring back a “ 11 ” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The 12 of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind.
Our guide ended by expressing her 13 , praising our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those words warmed my heart and 14 my fear of being aged. Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for 15 .

Passage 1

Cleaned and 3 , it survived. As she gained the ability to fly, we would let the young owl wander off in the backyard rather 4 , on her own schedule. Online, I found the source of food and she began to 5 . Because most of the long flight feathers on her wings did not appear, when she should have been able to fly, Alfie could only 6 around.
I put Alfie in a chicken coop for 7 . Her first adult feathers came in perfectly. Winter was in the air, making easy food such as large insects much less 8 , and she had never learned to 9 .

A week later, my wife texted me at 11 p.m. : “Guess who’s back.” After that, Alfie centered her territory around our 11 , and before long, we started seeing another owl.

Alfie lives in relationship, and our surprising capacity to 14 one another expanded my perspective on her life and mine.

There was no reliable internet, no proper roads, and villagers seemed 4 of her “crazy ideas.” Sara spent months walking from house to house, 5 families to learn modern farming techniques. 6 , many refused. Some laughed. For an entire year, Sara worked 7 , often sleeping only four hours, her hands rough from farm work. There were nights she cried alone, wondering if she had made a terrible mistake.
But gradually, her sincerity 8 . Three young mothers agreed to learn. Sara taught them not just tea cultivation and the tea-making 9 , but also smartphone skills, product photography, and customer communication. As their tea gained popularity, more villagers joined. Sara 10 her training: basic accounting, packaging design, even spoken English. She understood that true help means 11 people with skills, not just giving them fish.
Three years later, Sara’s cooperative has helped over fifty families 12 poverty. Some of her first trainees now 13 small businesses in the city. Standing on the mountain slope where she once cried alone, Sara watches young people leave — not 14 , but with hope and capability. She learned that the most profound help is giving people roots to stand 15 and wings to fly farther than we ever could. When they leave, they carry a piece of your heart — and that is not loss, but the purest fulfillment.

Passage 5
This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and 1 .
Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway. Since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could.
On one hike, I found myself on a bridge made of two partly rotten logs, 2 high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing 3 words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I 4 along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with intense excitement and huge 5 .
Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game.
Until suddenly, time stood 6 .
We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’ s a bear.” I looked up in 7 and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us — the mother in front, her baby behind.
8 scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked. I wondered if it would be my 9 memory. As they started towards us, we shouted and waved our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, then slowly 10 . Another fear was overcome!
On our final morning, we were asked to bring back a “ 11 ” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The 12 of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind.
Our guide ended by expressing her 13 , praising our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those words warmed my heart and 14 my fear of being aged. Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for 15 .
