I was a 1 smartphone addict. My eyes were 2 to the little screen whenever I walked down the street or had dinner with friends. One day, I almost got hit by a car 3 I was looking at my phone. At that very moment, I decided to make a 4 I would spend a whole week without my smartphone. The first day was the 5 . I kept reaching for my phone that wasn’t there. I felt 6 and anxious. Very soon, time 7 down. The empty hours stretched out in front of me. But then something amazing happened. I began to feel 8 . I picked up a classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon 9 in the beautiful language. I went out for a run and felt more 10 than I had in days. I began to appreciate the 11 in life with my own eyes. My offline relationships 12 as well. I went for a long walk with an old friend. Our conversation went much deeper than texts ever could. I also spent more 13 with my parents. One night, we looked at family photos and laughed about old times. We had never felt 14 to each other.

In the beginning, I enjoyed reading 1 books as a child. To this day, I still own the book The Famous Five. In my teens I 2 through Agatha Christie, Alistair Maclean and the like. School later guided me toward Thomas Hardy’s novels and other serious fiction. After high school, a trip to France turned boring, 3 only by the copy of Anna Karenina I carried with me. That worn book still sits on my shelf, though I’m 4 to open it now in case it falls apart completely. At university, I studied English literature — and there, my love for reading slowly 5 . Reading, in my view, was for 6 , but analyzing (分析) texts in 7 classes stopped me from enjoying reading totally. After graduation, I largely gave up books. My 20s and 30s passed almost entirely 8 . Then, 9 , the digital age brought it all back. With the Kindle, an e-book reader, I 10 with literature and rediscovered my love for reading. But soon the smart phone 11 the Kindle as a means to read and this gradually took the joy away again. Smartphones 12 my ability to focus on anything lengthy, let alone a novel.

I sat on a crowded bus, feeling 1 because I had just failed a job interview. At the next stop, an elderly man in a worn-out coat got on. He looked 2 as he struggled to find his balance among the standing passengers. Seeing this, I stood up and offered him my 3 . “Thank you, young man,” he whispered, his eyes sparkling with a kind of 4 that I didn’t expect. As he sat down, he 5 the resume (简历) in my hand and asked, “Tough day at the office, son?” “Actually, I’m 6 ,” I sighed, looking at the floor. “Just came back from an interview that went nowhere.” The old man smiled gently and patted my hand. “Don’t let it get you down,” he said 7 . “A door closed doesn’t mean the hallway is empty.” We started 8 . He told me he used to be a carpenter but had to 9 his career after an injury. Yet, he spent his mornings 10 at a local community center to help others, and he never complained even when things got hard. When the bus reached his stop, he reached into his pocket and 11 a small, beautifully carved wooden bird. “I want you to 12 this,” he insisted. I hesitated, thinking it might be 13 to him. “Please,” he said firmly. “It’s a 14 that your skills, like this wood, just need the right hands to shape them.” As I watched him disappear into the rain, I felt a sudden wave of 15 .

The system was put into place by many famous engineers using highly 5 technology. In fact, it eliminated (消除) the issue of traffic jams entirely. Next we made our way to a restaurant nearby. Just as I 6 that there was no menu, a waiter began to scan my body with a special 7 , which gave me a big fright, so I 8 out of my seat immediately. The robot explained it was just a machine that was able to figure out what our body needed and chose the recipe that 9 us most. The waiter then introduced me to the electronic screen that allowed me to choose the environment according to my 10 . I pressed the “beach” button on the screen and 11 I felt a sea breeze. I couldn’t help but 12 at how rapidly technology had advanced. We 13 returned to the train station. Just as I 14 the train, I heard a familiar voice calling my name.

He always stood near the free-throw line to 4 baskets one after another until the ball finally flew through the net. “Look at me, Coach!” he’d shout, jumping with 5 . The day before their first game, Nicholas’s eyes 6 when he was given the number “23”on his sportswear, a number he had always wanted. That season was 7 and their team lost nearly every game. The last match was against the undefeated first-place team, and by the fourth quarter, they had been 30 points behind. During a time-out (暂停), “Nicholas has never scored. Let’s help him,” a teammate 8 and everyone agreed. From then on, every time Nicholas’s team had the ball, it found him.

In addition to helping 10 the village and save the harvest, we have also been doing 11 development work. The farmers used to go to the well every morning to get 12 for their fields.

Emma had 4 taken herself as a crane and become deeply attached to humans. She 5 to live with male cranes, and even had a 6 for killing some of them making it impossible for her to become a mother. 7 , the two zookeepers didn’t want to see the extinction of this precious species. With their patience and efforts, they successfully developed a 8 of artificial breeding and natural reproduction. This 9 Emma to give birth to five baby cranes. The two keepers are proud. But more efforts must be made, because the population of the crane in the wild is on the 10 , and many other species face extinction. 11 , not everyone has realized wildlife has thoughts, feelings, and most importantly, equal rights to survive. How can we 12 the ever-widening gap that separates us from other animals?
