Passage 1
When Zhang Hua was ten years old, his father lost his job and the family had to move to a smaller apartment. Money was tight, and Zhang Hua often saw his mother counting coins at the kitchen table, trying to make ends meet (维持生计).
One day after school, Zhang Hua found a wallet on the sidewalk near a bus stop. Inside were 800 yuan and an ID card. It was more money than he had ever held in his hands. For a moment, he thought about how much this could help his family. But then he remembered his mother's words: "No matter how little we have, we must always be honest."
Zhang Hua went home and told his mother about the wallet. Together, they called the number on the ID card. The owner, an elderly woman named Mrs. Li, came to their home that evening with tears in her eyes. The money was her monthly pension (养老金), and she had been extremely worried. She tried to give Zhang Hua 200 yuan as a reward, but he declined it politely.

Passage 2
Li Na was never good at sports. In PE class, she was always the last one to finish running, and her classmates sometimes laughed at her. She felt embarrassed (尴尬的) and started to dread PE days.

Instead of asking her to join the group, he sat down beside her and said quietly, "You know, Li Na, I was the slowest runner in my class when I was your age. But I didn't give up. Every evening after dinner, I ran for just ten minutes around my neighborhood. After three months, I could keep up with my classmates."
Li Na looked at Mr. Zhao in surprise. She had never imagined that her strong, fit teacher was once like her. That evening, she put on her sneakers and ran slowly around her apartment building. It was only eight minutes, but she felt proud. She kept doing this every day, rain or shine.
Three months later, at the school sports meeting, Li Na finished the 800-meter race -- not first, not even in the top ten. But she crossed the finish line with a big smile.

Passage 3
Every morning before school, Grandma would make me a bowl of hot noodles. I never thought much about it -- until the winter I turned fifteen.
That winter, Grandma fell ill and had to stay in hospital for two weeks. The kitchen was cold and silent in the mornings. My mother tried to make noodles, but they never tasted the same. I missed the smell of soy sauce and sesame oil (麻油) that filled our home. I missed Grandma's soft voice saying, "Eat while it's hot, my dear."
One afternoon after school, I went to the hospital. Grandma was sitting by the window, looking pale and thin. "I'm sorry I can't make your noodles these days," she said weakly. My eyes filled with tears. "Grandma, just get well soon. I'll make noodles for you." I went home and tried to remember everything she had taught me over the years -- how much water to use, when to add the egg, how long to cook it.
The first bowl I made was too soft, and the second was too salty. But the third one was just right. I brought it to the hospital in a thermal container (保温盒). Grandma took a bite, and her eyes lit up. "It tastes just like mine," she said with a tender smile. That was the first time I understood: it was never about the noodles. It was about love.

Passage 4
Wang Tao grew up in a quiet fishing village by the sea. His parents were fishermen who spent long days on the water. They hoped Wang Tao would finish school and find an easier job in the city. But Wang Tao had a different dream -- he wanted to become a marine biologist (海洋生物学家) and protect the sea that his family had depended on for generations.
When he told his parents about his dream, they were worried. "We can't afford to send you to university," his father said sadly. But Wang Tao didn't give up.

He also helped a local research team collect water samples (样本) on weekends, learning everything he could from the scientists.
His hard work paid off. Wang Tao won a full scholarship to study marine science at Ocean University. On the day he left for college, his father handed him a small wooden boat he had carved by hand. "The sea gave us our life," his father said. "Now go and give something back to it." Wang Tao held the little boat tightly.

Passage 5
Last month, our school announced a robotics competition. Each team had to build a robot that could pick up small objects and move them to a box. I had never built anything like this before, but my friend Chen Wei talked me into joining his team.
We spent every afternoon for three weeks in the school's science lab. At first, nothing worked. Our robot either didn't move at all or fell over when it tried to pick something up. Chen Wei and I argued about the design several times. Once, I was so frustrated that I almost quit. "We can't give up now," Chen Wei said. "Every failure teaches us something new."
The day before the competition, we finally got it right. Our robot, which we named "Little Star," could smoothly pick up a pen and drop it into the box. We cheered so loudly that the teacher from the next classroom came to check on us.
On the competition day, twenty teams from different schools showed up. We were nervous but excited. Little Star performed well -- not perfectly, but steadily. When the results were announced, we won third place! It wasn't the top prize, but holding that bronze medal, I felt prouder than I had ever felt. Chen Wei and I learned that the real reward isn't the medal -- it's the journey of creating something together.

Passage 5
Last month, our school announced a robotics competition. Each team had to build a robot that could pick up small objects and move them to a box. I had never built anything like this before, but my friend Chen Wei talked me into joining his team.
We spent every afternoon for three weeks in the school's science lab. At first, nothing worked. Our robot either didn't move at all or fell over when it tried to pick something up. Chen Wei and I argued about the design several times. Once, I was so frustrated that I almost quit. "We can't give up now," Chen Wei said. "Every failure teaches us something new."
The day before the competition, we finally got it right. Our robot, which we named "Little Star," could smoothly pick up a pen and drop it into the box. We cheered so loudly that the teacher from the next classroom came to check on us.
On the competition day, twenty teams from different schools showed up. We were nervous but excited. Little Star performed well -- not perfectly, but steadily. When the results were announced, we won third place! It wasn't the top prize, but holding that bronze medal, I felt prouder than I had ever felt. Chen Wei and I learned that the real reward isn't the medal -- it's the journey of creating something together.
