Passage 11
I knew exercise is good for health — who doesn’t? But 1 were easier. Running bored me, biking sounded risky, and the gym seemed too much to handle. Each offered me a reason to 2 it, so I did.
When I worked in Kenya, I came to realize that people there don’t “ 3 ” the way I had thought. Instead, they move — with a clear 4 in mind. They move to reach a destination. They move to hunt and to tend crops. There is no such thing as a 5 , but they are working out 24/7. Maybe I could take 6 from these people and add meaning to my exercising. So, I launched my 7 program: “chicken-cising,” with 15 baby chicks and a book on 8 backyard chickens. It turned out that caring for the flightless birds was quite 9 — a full-body workout involving bending, squatting (深蹲), weightlifting and running around. One weekend, my e-watch 10 as many as 145 squats and 10,506 steps!
I ended up in better shape than expected and found extra 11 that no gym workout can provide. First, quitting is not a(n) 12 : You can’t put on your “chicken-cise” clothes, sit for a while, and then simply decide not to 13 , especially when your feathered friends depend on you to survive. Second, you have unbeatable workout partners, who 14 respond to your appearance with encouragement. Bah-Baaaahk! What’s more? Fresh-from-the-hen eggs!
Turning every breakfast into a celebration of my new lifestyle with the best eggs, “chicken-cising” taught me that movement doesn’t need a gym — it needs 15 .

In my application letter, I was careful to 1 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 2 that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and interesting friends. While travelling was inspiring and meeting people was exciting, nothing about my term in France was what I 3 .
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 4 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 5 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator: There had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to move out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 6 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation to 7 my mother tongue, I asked not to be 8 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 9 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 10 .
I left France with many 11 , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 12 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 13 France we enjoyed together. I love how people can seem so different, but turn out to be so 14 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people but to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a 15 away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful friendships.

One summer evening a few years ago, as the sky darkened, an 4 woman stood weakly at our doorway. She leaned against the screen door (纱窗门) to 5 it open. Through the window, I could see the outline of her head. She clearly needed 6 . The question filled my mind: “What should I do?” This wasn’t the first time I’d faced such a difficult 7 .

And now, here was this guy, who was 4 a new party table within full view of my kitchen window. The 5 of drunk and loud college students flashed across my mind, so I walked up and told him it had to be 6 .
“Who the hell are you?” he asked. “And what gives you the right to 7 me?”
Spotting there would be a 8 between the young man and me, my husband came up. As he pulled me away, I 9 at the guy and told him this wasn’t over.

Passage 4
One evening, I missed the train home and had to walk eight kilometres through a steady rain. Halfway, wet and annoyed, I stopped under a dim street-lamp to 1 the map. An elderly man wheeling a bicycle paused beside me, unfolded his 2 and held it silently over my phone for three minutes. After I found the route, he nodded, smiled without a word, and rode off. That tiny act did not only spare my phone, but it 3 my faith that had felt grey long before the weather.
I have come to the 4 that goodness is measured less in heroic headlines than in such 5 exchanges. Societies grow hopeless when citizens wait for 6 programs to fix everything, yet remain mean with their own small acts. The umbrella I received was ordinary, but it created a(n) 7 amount of gratitude: I now offer mine more 8 , and friends who once made fun of the 9 have begun to follow suit.
Optimism is not a childish 10 that the storm will end; it is the 11 decision to keep someone else dry while we wait.
The ripple (涟漪) did not stop there. Two weeks later, I 12 a freshman having difficulty with suitcases in the same rain. I naturally lent my umbrella and helped carry her bags uphill.

Passage 5
A dreamer is someone who dreams to touch the sky. For a mountaineer, reaching the top of Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, is probably the 1 of all dreams.
Maria Pooma, a girl from Andhra Pradesh, India, is the daughter of a poor farmer who earns 2 $600 a year. Belonging to the lowest level of the Indian social class, she wanted to be a source of 3 to other people. Having received tremendous 4 from her parents and her teachers at a local school, Pooma participated in a training program 5 for outdoor activities.
At the end of the extremely 6 training sessions, Pooma and another boy of 18 called Anand Kumar were the only two selected to 7 to climb Mount Everest because they showed “a higher degree of 8 .” Pooma proved that the difference between the impossible and the possible 9 a person’s determination. On 25th of May 2014, a Sunday, she, along with Anand, tried to climb the 29,029-foot peak and made it. Three days after she arrived at the Everest base camp on April 15th, 2014, sixteen people got killed by a deadly avalanche (雪崩) on the Nepalese side. However, this 10 could not prevent Pooma from reaching the top. And she climbed the peak from the more 11 Tibetan side instead of taking the easier Nepalese side which most climbers 12 .
In the words of Pooma, “I was born and brought up in a 13 community and I was desperately 14 an opportunity to improve my life.” This confident and independent world record holder has indeed proved that winners are ordinary people with 15 determination.

Passage 6
Speaking of one’s reading life, most people would probably think of their first book, or how many books they have read. However, I don’t have an answer to either, as all the books I’ve read are lost in my 1 memories. 2 , I haven’t lost everything in my long memory, so let me take you into my reading life.
My reading life started when I was one year old. I could only 3 small picture books on my small bed beside my mom. She was a great storyteller and always spoke while 4 a lot of facial expressions. Even if I couldn’t read, I could understand the 5 of her facial expressions. Sometimes I wonder why she didn’t choose a job as an 6 .
The second part of my reading life is called “bridge book”. A bridge book is a kind of book that 7 picture books and textbooks. At that time, my Chinese and English 8 wasn’t very large, so I had to 9 bridge books as they were the easiest for me. I was like a frog in a well. I didn’t know there was a bigger world of books waiting for me to 10 .
The next period was between when I was five and a half to seven years old. In this period of my life, I started to see the world in a 11 and wider way. I started to walk out of that deep 12 and learned there were many books waiting for me. 13 bridge books, I went into the 14 of textbooks and started to read them. In the world of textbooks, I felt a door was opened in front of me, and the light was 15 through the door, so I stepped into the light and started to read tons and tons of books.

Passage 7
Several days ago, I, an intern (实习医生), had got a break for one hour from my surgery. For some stuff to seek 1 , I decided to meet my mentor (导师).
When passing by the hall, I saw many people 2 up before a counter. A man sitting away 3 called out, and immediately a woman in the line stepped out. Unfortunately, when she went back, her place was already 4 by others. I saw disappointment and worry on her face. I went to her and asked what had happened. The concerned woman 5 that her father was severely painful and no one was with him while she was doing the formality (手续). Learning that, I offered to help and the old man was finally 6 to hospital.
7 , I was late for the meeting and got harshly scolded by my mentor. I came out in a terrible 8 when I heard a female voice from the back. “Doctor? ” The woman I helped came to me with a display of 9 on her face. I could see the pleasure 10 in her words. But she 11 my frustration and insisted on asking me the reason. I had to tell her the 12 . Then she quickly dragged me to the discussion room and told the mentor everything. We all came out with a 13 smile.
Sometimes these small things which we do for others 14 a lot for both sides. In this busy daily life our time we spent for others doesn’t affect our schedules much but it acts like a glue which 15 the broken faith.

Passage 8
If there’s one crucial lesson that Tara Snyder, a seasoned (有经验的) mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, reveals to every new 1 . it’s this: “Even if a dog seems friendly for 364 days of the year, they can still have a bad day and bite.”
Snyder speaks from 2 . In April 2024, while completing her usual route in Pennsylvania, she 3 a resident’s door to obtain a signature for a piece of mail. 4 she had time to react, a 70-pound dog charged out of the house and attacked her hand. She 5 to protect herself with her mailbag, but it was too late. “It 6 my hand open pretty severely,” she recalls, the injury required 17 stitches, a round of antibiotics, and three weeks off work to recover.
This wasn’t the first or last 7 between Snyder and aggressive dogs at that residence. On a separate occasion, another dog 8 her on the porch, though fortunately, she wasn’t bitten that time. The incident has 9 Animal Control to investigate the owners, and the Postal Service is taking every 10 to protect its mail carriers. Sadly, Snyder’s story is far from 11 : according to Postal Service data, there were 5,800 reported dog-related incidents involving postal workers in 2023.
This brings us to the 12 paw-print stickers you may have noticed on mailboxes. An orange sticker 13 a dog resides at that address, while a yellow sticker shows that a dog lives nearby. The 14 was to warn Postal Service employees and other delivery workers to remain alert (警惕的), 15 around dogs with a known history of negative reactions to mail carriers.

Passage 9
Gagan, owner and founder of Peony’s Envy display garden in Bernardsville. The garden’s playful name was 1 years ago at a party, when Gagan enthusiastically announced her 2 to start a peony farm in her backyard. One of the guests said, “Sounds 3 — I’m sure we’ll all have peonies envy!”
Having 4 lived a dynamic lifestyle working as a consultant and linguist overseas for 15 years, Gagan was happy to 5 back into Bernardsville. In 2002, she planted her first peony crop. Four years later, she began 6 rootstock (根茎) commercially and opened her garden to the 7 because she was “eager to build something that others could visit and enjoy.” Today, her property is home to one of the most extensive 8 of peonies in the country.
Gagan, a nationally 9 gardening expert, appreciates the laid-back presence of established peonies because, 10 other crops, they are easy to maintain. “Before starting my peony garden, I 11 at a peach orchard (果园) because deer ate all the trees. Then I tried raising irises, with no luck,” she says. “Finally, I had success with peonies. 12 and rabbits don’t like them, and the established plants require 13 care. Everything you do for them comes back year after year because it’s a generous plant that 14 so much more than it takes.”
Peony’s Envy is open daily from the last Friday in April through the second Sunday in June. To fully experience all it has to 15 , some guests visit weekly. In these blooms, people find a mirror to life’s simplest wisdom: true beauty asks for little, but gives endlessly.

Passage 10
Years ago, we gifted my dad a Lego (乐高) Taj Mahal set, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time.
Each evening, my dad and I 1 around the dining table, working to assemble countless tiny pieces using a thick 2 booklet.
As the building 3 , we felt our efforts paying off — and were struck by the similarities and differences between Lego blocks and 4 .
We realized the instruction booklet itself was a work of art, beautiful, complex but also surprisingly 5 and clear. It 6 us with the comfort of certainty. If we followed the instructions, we would 7 a model looking exactly like the picture. If we made a 8 , we had to retrace our steps and start again.
Life, 9 , rarely offers such instructions. We reflected on our respective lives — Dad on his well-lived life, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead.
Here, we were the 10 doing the assembling. While we felt in control, our choices are often shaped by forces 11 our control. Facing uncertainty, we have to 12 , trusting both in the process and the end result.
The now completed Lego model 13 me that life is built slowly — with mistakes, 14 , no instruction book. Life’s value 15 not in what we materially create or leave behind, but in how we lived it.

Passage 11
I knew exercise is good for health — who doesn’t? But 1 were easier. Running bored me, biking sounded risky, and the gym seemed too much to handle. Each offered me a reason to 2 it, so I did.
When I worked in Kenya, I came to realize that people there don’t “ 3 ” the way I had thought. Instead, they move — with a clear 4 in mind. They move to reach a destination. They move to hunt and to tend crops. There is no such thing as a 5 , but they are working out 24/7. Maybe I could take 6 from these people and add meaning to my exercising. So, I launched my 7 program: “chicken-cising,” with 15 baby chicks and a book on 8 backyard chickens. It turned out that caring for the flightless birds was quite 9 — a full-body workout involving bending, squatting (深蹲), weightlifting and running around. One weekend, my e-watch 10 as many as 145 squats and 10,506 steps!
I ended up in better shape than expected and found extra 11 that no gym workout can provide. First, quitting is not a(n) 12 : You can’t put on your “chicken-cise” clothes, sit for a while, and then simply decide not to 13 , especially when your feathered friends depend on you to survive. Second, you have unbeatable workout partners, who 14 respond to your appearance with encouragement. Bah-Baaaahk! What’s more? Fresh-from-the-hen eggs!
Turning every breakfast into a celebration of my new lifestyle with the best eggs, “chicken-cising” taught me that movement doesn’t need a gym — it needs 15 .

For a few years, my brother and I grew up in a Norman Rockwell household. Life was simple but 1 . We attended the local schools and churches. We enjoyed eating out and going to movies. Until everything 2 . My parents divorced.
After not having worked in several years, Mom had trouble 3 a job. We eventually ran out of savings. At times, we had no food. At our lowest point, my brother and I had to recycle cans so we could afford to buy bread. No one ever 4 bread as much as we did on those nights.
One day, my brother came home with a fast-food coupon (优惠券) 5 for one order of small French fries. There was a photo of those golden, crispy fries on the front of the coupon and no 6 date on the back. Those fries looked delicious! My brother and I kept 7 to use it but never made it to the restaurant. Eventually, we lost the coupon.
Luckily, things eventually 8 . Mom and I both got jobs. We could 9 to pay rent and buy food!
A couple of years afterward, I moved out on my own. As an apartment-warming gift, my brother gave me a beautiful card with the French-fry coupon, which he 10 after many years! He thought that it was 11 , and so did I. Now that we were back to being more 12 , we could look back and laugh.
And I 13 that coupon. Thirty-three years later, living in a beautiful home with my husband and son, I have that coupon on my mirror. It’s a daily 14 to me to be grateful for how 15 I’ve come and how much I have.

Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to 1 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 2 that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and interesting friends. While travelling was inspiring and meeting people was exciting, nothing about my term in France was what I 3 .
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 4 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 5 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator: There had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to move out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 6 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation to 7 my mother tongue, I asked not to be 8 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 9 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 10 .
I left France with many 11 , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 12 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 13 France we enjoyed together. I love how people can seem so different, but turn out to be so 14 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people but to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a 15 away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful friendships.

One year later, she became the lead singer of China’s first international band. She tried out different 4 , such as folk, rock, or even opera. “You have to be very 5 and open to whatever is needed at that moment,” she said.
In 2013, she started writing her own songs. Her first 6 work, I Am What I Am, was released in 2015. And Lowdermilk found a new 7 : fusing (融合) Chinese traditional music and various forms of Western music. Elements of Chinese poems and local operas all 8 in her musical notes.
