Passage 8
In 1986, Hamburg and Shanghai became sister cities, 1 cultural exchanges that soon reached local high schools, offering Chinese language classes and student exchange programs.
Young Kaehler, who had enjoyed adventure novels as a child and dreamed of 2 unknown lands, saw her 3 . At 17, in 1990, she set foot in Shanghai for the first time. Bicycles far outnumbered cars on the streets. 4 by the local flavor, she ignored the familiar Western architecture and spent her 5 film roll on the local architecture.
That short exchange planted a seed. After university, she officially launched her career in China in 1990, starting in Guangdong, then 6 Shanghai for a full 15 years from 2000. In 2016, she relocated to Qingdao, choosing her father’s birthday — 4 January — as moving day. It was a private 7 to the man who had always encouraged her wanderlust.
Kaehler left home at 20 to study 500 kilometers away, so she learned early that home is less about a 8 place and more about stability, purpose and human warmth.
In Shanghai, she found a second family — the parents of her 9 exchange partner. Back in 1990, when housing was extremely 10 , the family had managed to host her for a weekend, saying, “Our child stayed with your family in Hamburg for three weeks; we want to return the 11 .”
That simple mutual goodwill blossomed into a 12 spanning decades. Her exchange partner later moved to the US for studies and a career in finance, and his yearend workload 13 allowed him to return for Chinese New Year. 14 , every Lunar New Year’s Eve for over a decade, Kaehler joined her Shanghai parents for dinner. Those moments, she says, are what 15 truly feels like.

Passage 1
The Taxi Ride I’ll Never Forget
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi. One time, I was called at midnight to pick someone up. When I arrived, the building was completely dark except for one light in a window.
I walked to the door and knocked. After a long wait, the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. Beside her was a small suitcase. She 1 me to carry her bag out to the car. I took her suitcase and gave her my arm. We walked slowly to the street. She kept 2 me for my kindness. I told her I simply tried to 3 passengers as I hoped my mother would be treated.
Once in the taxi, she gave me an address and asked whether I could drive through the downtown. I 4 her it was not the shortest way. She replied that she was in no 5 , for she was heading for a hospice (临终安养院). I saw her eyes shining with tears. “I don’t have any family 6 ,” she continued, “The doctor says I don’t have very long.” Hearing this, I was deeply moved. I quietly turned 7 the meter and asked which 8 she wanted me to take.
For hours, we drove through the city. She 9 with me places filled with her old memories. Sometimes she requested me to 10 down so she could stare into the darkness in silence. When we 11 at the hospice, two nurses were already waiting.
After I gave her a warm hug, she spoke softly, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.” I squeezed her hand and returned to my taxi. That whole day I could 12 speak. I believed I had never done anything more 13 in my life. People usually think lives are defined by great moments. Yet I came to 14 that great moments catch us by surprise, because they often seem quite 15 .

Passage 2
Grandpa Li, 72, never imagined he would become famous. A year ago, he could hardly use a smartphone. Today, his short videos about hometown food have won him more than two million followers.
It all started when his granddaughter Xiaoyu came home for the Spring Festival. Seeing her grandfather cook his famous rice noodles, she 1 to record it on her phone. Grandpa Li was shy at first, but the video received thousands of likes within days. “ 2 ? People like watching an old man cook?” he asked in surprise.
Xiaoyu saw a chance. She spent the whole holiday teaching him how to shoot, edit and 3 videos. At first, the buttons confused him, and he often pressed the wrong ones. “I felt like a child learning to walk again,” he says. But he practiced 4 every evening, and within a month he could manage the basic skills.
Now Grandpa Li uploads two videos a week, showing dishes from his village: hand-pulled noodles, fermented tofu and the famous local ham. He also 5 stories behind each dish, telling viewers how his mother taught him to cook during hard times. “Food carries 6 ,” he says. “Every recipe is a piece of our history.”
His videos have 7 many young viewers who had never cooked before. Some have tried the recipes and left comments, while others have 8 their own family dishes. Last month, a local restaurant even invited him to design a “Grandpa Li menu”.
For Grandpa Li, the greatest 9 is not the fame. “My grandson now calls me every week to ask about the videos,” he smiles. “Before, I could only wait for the holidays to hear from the young people. 10 I know what they are interested in, I have something to share with them. The phone has brought my family 11 .”
His story reminds us that it is never too 12 to learn something new. As he often tells Xiaoyu, “Age is only a number. The heart that is willing to 13 is the youngest heart of all.”
Xiaoyu is proud of her grandfather. “At first, I worried that he would feel 14 without me around to help,” she says. “Now he teaches me new tricks with his phone every weekend. I will never 15 that Spring Festival when everything changed.”

Passage 4
I used to wake up and reach for my phone before I even opened my eyes. That was the 1 . By the time my day began, I had seen many strangers’ highlights, with a sense that everyone else’s life was moving 2 than mine. I knew it wasn’t good for me.
Then I did something that should have made everything worse. I 3 a job centered on social media. My friends 4 that it was like an ex-smoker taking a job at a cigarette factory.
But something 5 happened. Instead of pulling me deeper in, seeing social media from the inside completely changed how I 6 it.
I watched posts get planned weeks in advance. That “ 7 ” photo? Shot in large numbers on a Tuesday. That “effortless” caption (文案)? 8 eleven times and approved by three editors.
Once I’ve seen how highlights are made, I no longer 9 myself to others. Before this job, my self-worth seemed to have a dashboard (表盘), and I checked it 10 Later, watching beautiful content get buried — while some throwaway post went viral for no reason — 11 me of taking any of it personally.
The biggest 12 though, was learning what being intentional actually feels like. I can open an app and go in with a(n) 13 , do the thing, and get out. My mornings belong to me again: the phone stays 14 until after breakfast.

Passage 5
Mrs. Korthaus taught me everything I needed to know, even before I had students of my own. She was my beloved English teacher at high school who 1 me a lot.
In her class, she opened a 2 to the world for us through writing and literature, encouraging us to look beyond ourselves and think about the wider world. She 3 us to produce a spring musical, through which we discovered the 4 of finding joy in everyday life. When we volunteered at the school’s annual fundraising auction, she taught us the significance of recognizing the 5 in ourselves and others. She was, without a doubt, a teacher who truly cared.
All this is why, with her clearly in mind as my role model, I 6 the offer after receiving an unexpected call. “We need a teacher for the local community college.”
Days later, I took on the 7 of an English teacher for a class of 40. In my class, I encouraged my students to 8 their personal experiences in relation to the assignments before their writing. The sharing brought along a sense of 9 among us, and many of their struggles seemed to 10 when expressed aloud.

I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and witty retorts (反驳), so when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate competition, I was 1 confident. Little did I know this would be one of the most important lessons of my life.
The run-up to the finals was a 2 for my team. We were all good speakers who had the benefit of an experienced teacher who trained us well. I was seen as the most outstanding speaker, my confidence 3 as the finals approached. 4 , I began to put on airs, mocking my teammates and 5 practices. On the finals day, I felt 6 about showcasing my skills, but the reality was different. My 7 from practices had created tension within the team, and our cooperation was poor, 8 even our supporters. My speech lacked coherence, and the judges’ 9 looks brought me close to tears, and I realized the stupidity of my arrogance (傲慢). Overwhelmed by the possibility of losing, never before had I felt so 10 .
Then, a 11 hand touched mine — my teammate whom I had insulted. She 12 to me that it was okay, making me feel worse. My other teammates comforted me, despite my deserving punishment for 13 us the title. I kept apologizing, feeling worse as they 14 my irresponsibility.

Passage 7
When 24-year-old Eve lost her job in 2024, she decided to spend her free time helping her community. This choice led to 1 rewards, including winning the Young Volunteer of the Year award.
Eve joined a local 2 group, which works to maintain and improve the area’s historic canals. Every Thursday for four hours, she takes on various 3 tasks such as clearing logs from the water, planting flowers, and picking up litter. She enjoys litter-picking in particular because it lets her enjoy the natural surroundings while 4 them.
What 5 her volunteering experience from conventional environmental work is that it has provided 6 beyond environmental improvement. Working alongside mostly elderly retired volunteers has given her 7 insights into life and community. “Conversations with people from different generations offer 8 I wouldn’t gain from social media,” she says about the experience.
Eve believes many young people have 9 their local communities and spend much time on digital devices. “You don’t get lots of people my age participating in their local area, so I think I’ll 10 ,” she says.
Now working as a self-employed house sitter, Eve 11 arranged her paid work around her volunteer duties. She encourages other young people to reduce screen time and try volunteering, even if just for a few hours weekly. “You get a sense of 12 with it,” she explains.
Eve’s story 13 how volunteering can help young people develop skills, build community connections, and find 14 — especially valuable in today’s changing job market and increasingly digital world.

Passage 8
In 1986, Hamburg and Shanghai became sister cities, 1 cultural exchanges that soon reached local high schools, offering Chinese language classes and student exchange programs.
Young Kaehler, who had enjoyed adventure novels as a child and dreamed of 2 unknown lands, saw her 3 . At 17, in 1990, she set foot in Shanghai for the first time. Bicycles far outnumbered cars on the streets. 4 by the local flavor, she ignored the familiar Western architecture and spent her 5 film roll on the local architecture.
That short exchange planted a seed. After university, she officially launched her career in China in 1990, starting in Guangdong, then 6 Shanghai for a full 15 years from 2000. In 2016, she relocated to Qingdao, choosing her father’s birthday — 4 January — as moving day. It was a private 7 to the man who had always encouraged her wanderlust.
Kaehler left home at 20 to study 500 kilometers away, so she learned early that home is less about a 8 place and more about stability, purpose and human warmth.
In Shanghai, she found a second family — the parents of her 9 exchange partner. Back in 1990, when housing was extremely 10 , the family had managed to host her for a weekend, saying, “Our child stayed with your family in Hamburg for three weeks; we want to return the 11 .”
That simple mutual goodwill blossomed into a 12 spanning decades. Her exchange partner later moved to the US for studies and a career in finance, and his yearend workload 13 allowed him to return for Chinese New Year. 14 , every Lunar New Year’s Eve for over a decade, Kaehler joined her Shanghai parents for dinner. Those moments, she says, are what 15 truly feels like.

Passage 9
We often underestimate kindness, yet it can alter someone’s day — and our own. This 1 was illustrated by Cyn Symone, whose missed flight led her to help a stranger at Los Angeles International Airport.
On a rainy afternoon, Symone’s flight was canceled. She went to baggage claim, 2 if her day could get worse. Then she heard sobs (抽噎) from a nearby 3 . She hesitated to intervene, because she feared disturbing the stranger’s privacy.
The crying continued, and Symone’s empathy 4 her hesitation. She knocked. When the door opened, she was 5 to see two children sleeping on the floor, their mother in the corner of the bathroom, tears streaming down. Through broken English, she learned the woman had missed her bus and had no money, 6 at a loss.
Immediately, Symone 7 to help, paying for a hotel room. As they walked there, the mother shared her 8 story — they traveled to visit a sick relative, only to face unexpected delays. Symone listened patiently, offering words that 9 the woman’s anxiety.
That night, watching the family settle in, a new sense of fulfillment 10 over her. She recalled, “I felt upset about missing my flight, but helping them didn’t just relieve their plight (困境) — it 11 my frustration and filled my heart with warmth.”
Her experience supports research showing 12 benefits both giver and receiver. What seemed a(n) 13 detour (绕行) became a significant encounter.
Her story is a powerful 14 that helping strangers nourishes our souls. Each act of kindness 15 a ripple of warmth touching others and ourselves.

Passage 10
“Hello, this is your captain speaking. We are now flying over Chengdu, China...”
The 1 awakened me from a deep sleep. Through the window, a well-planned city 2 far below. At over 10,000 meters, my brand-new life was just beginning.
I come from poor Balochistan, where there is a severe 3 of job opportunities and basic public facilities. Stepping into Tianfu Airport, I was instantly 4 by its perfect order and convenience. The Didi driver chatted warmly, and I 5 with simple Chinese phrases. It was a confusing yet 6 experience for a newcomer.
Using Baidu Maps, I was amazed by its 7 — detailed guidance, quick response and real-time traffic reminders. As we travelled across the suburbs of Chengdu, modern technology served 8 in the background, letting splendid natural scenery shine.
On campus, getting a local phone card was equally convenient with several simple 9 . Soon I connected to 5G service. 10 QR codes to order food and pay the bill in the canteen made me feel unreal, and the spicy food offered me a unique 11 of local culture.
On my first day here, I benefited from advanced technology and experienced 12 social management, which served as the 13 model for building a brighter future for the people in my hometown.
Looking up at the bright moon over the campus, I felt 14 to my hometown thousands of miles away. One day, I will return home, not only with a college degree, but also with a clear vision to 15 my hometown’s long-term development.

Passage 11
I longed for a name that was easier to say or remember. I didn’t want to 1 every time a teacher paused, unsure of how to say it, and all eyes turned to me. I wanted to feel that I 2 .
One evening, seeing I was 3 about my name again, my grandmother said, “Anahita was the name of the river, the 4 for our village. When it dried up, the village disappeared. My mother wanted us to 5 that we once belonged to something that gave us life. She made me promise I would never let that name 6 . So I gave it to you.”
I sat there 7 , letting her words sink in. Something in me 8 . I realized my name was more than a word people 9 to pronounce. Instead, it carried a story I had never bothered to understand. It was no longer a 10 that made me feel embarrassed, but a thread (线) connecting me to people I had never known and places I had never been to. I also started to wonder whether I had been looking for belonging in 11 places.
That conversation 12 the way I thought about my name — with a quiet 13 I had not noticed before. I no longer wished it were easier or more 14 . Instead, I felt grateful for a name carrying a river and a history — it reminded me that true 15 comes not from becoming like everyone else, but from knowing where I come from.

Two hours after the flood swept through Middle Tennessee, the town lay in ruins. People from every corner of the community 1 for what would become an unforgettable chapter. Tennessee is a state where community spirit runs deep. When a hurricane tore through neighbouring regions, Tennessee residents immediately volunteered to 2 trapped people. In times of crisis, they always 3 their own work and travel miles to help, expecting nothing in return.
But disaster struck close to home. This time, they chose to stand firmly with their own hometown in 4 . Friendly greetings and warm words could be 5 everywhere in the community.

“It 4 me like lightning: a coffee shop!” Wright said. “It would be the perfect environment for bringing people together. Seeing the staff 5 customers at the door, preparing food, serving orders and cleaning tables, people would realize how 6 they are.”
When the shop opened, it immediately became a hit, with 7 out the door. National press attention 8 , and six months later, it had to move to a 9 space. Today, the store employs 40 people with disabilities, who are really good at their jobs.

Passage 14

During one particular trip, Cuenca’s father 3 that she had just started her first year of college. When the ride ended, the man 4 his wallet and opened it. 5 , he pulled out twenty dollars. But this time, he handed over a $50 bill. “I’d like you to give it to your daughter so she can 6 herself something really nice,” he said.
At that time, Cuenca was 7 as a transfer student to Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, a program she had dreamed of 8 since high school. However, finances were 9 for her family, and she had no idea how she would 10 the $50 application fee. “Fifty dollars was a lot for a college student back in 1997. My parents were working-class and couldn’t give me much,” she recalled. So the gift came 11 .
Cuenca used that $50 to send in her application — and she was 12 to the program. Over the 26 years since she graduated, she has traveled widely and built a successful 13 in international affairs. Looking back on that career, she often thinks of that businessman and wishes she could tell him what his 14 made possible. “That $50 gave me a chance to enter the university I had always dreamed of.

Passage 15
I assumed being good meant not harming the world. But that understanding changed after I moved back home.
One day, while walking the dog, I 1 my grandpa, Nicholas, who lived in the same village with us. He held a litter picker in one hand and a bag filled with rubbish in the other, with obvious 2 on his face.
I knew he wanted to keep the village tidy, but I had no idea of his 3 to the cause. He spends an hour or so each day litter picking — the extreme version, where no rubbish, no matter how 4 it is to reach, will go unpicked. He’s even prepared to risk a fall into the canal to 5 floating branches. The lengths he goes to are as worrying as they are 6 .
I’d always considered myself a 7 citizen — I never littered, but neither did I 8 with other people’s mess. Yet after seeing my grandpa’s efforts, it was hard not to get 9 . I began following my grandpa’s example, picking up every takeaway cup I passed. And my efforts soon 10 litter picking. Once, after a storm, I spent half an hour 11 the newly planted trees blown over by the wind.
My experience with litter 12 my way of life. I began to pursue more 13 ways of shopping, eating and drinking whenever possible, like buying less packaged food. Being a good citizen means more than simply 14 being “bad”. It’s about making a practical effort to 15 change, however small it is.
