(25-26高二上·北京广渠门中学·期中)Reagan, a book lover, looked up from his reading as the bell rang over the entrance to the bookstore. Puzzled, he watched for a minute as Darya 1 toward the counter as if to ask a question. It didn’t make sense that Darya, one of the school’s top athletes, was in a bookstore.

At thirty-two, I was 1 from the Vice President position I’d struggled for six years to achieve.

What began as a distraction became a(n) 3 . I learned how the minerals in water might affect the flavor, and how the foam on a cappuccino whispered truths that office reports never captured.

Six months later, my coffee shop “Layoff Latte Art” was 6 . It serves special drinks 7 career challenges: one for those switching careers midlife and another symbolizing startup pains. Each cup comes with a note about the beans’ journey from mountain to cup, and space for customers to write their own 8 of starting over. It’s amazing to read the experiences that people share.

All these years later, the 110-year-old lady lives at home in Monmouth, South Wales, surrounded by her loved ones.

My wife and I usually don’t keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered. But after my diagnosis with a brain cancer, I loved the idea of having something green and 1 around us.
Last year, my friend Mitch gave me a lucky bamboo plant. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of 2 at a time when I sometimes felt useless because my ability to move was limited. As a physician, I was used to being the one who 3 care. Watering the plant 4 me to a core part of my old identity and taught me I could still be a caregiver.
However, after several weeks growing in perfect condition, the plant 5 began to show signs of stress. No matter what I did, the leaves kept 6 and dropping to the floor.
“I can’t even care for a simple plant!” I yelled. “If my lucky bamboo dies, I might die too!”
Identifying with the green and growing plant had offered me comfort. But when the tree was struggling, I felt increasingly uneasy and 7 .
It was several months later when I recovered from surgery that I realized I had wrongly linked my careful nurturing of the plant—something over which I had at least some control—with my own 8 —something over which I had no control.
As my 9 lessened, I began to study online tutorials to figure out how to care for the tree. I transplanted it to a larger pot, and when it was back in the sunny window, we both began to thrive (旺盛) again.

When the students at my new school didn’t finish homework, I never asked why. Instead, I just sighed loudly and recorded a zero in the grade book. I soon gained the 2 I thought I wanted.
One day, Anthony approached me. “Could I talk to you?” he asked 3 . “I know you said no excuse, but I don’t want you to think I’m 4 because I often come without my homework.” He then looked up at me for the first time. “It’s just that... my dad moved out, and my mom works at night, so I have to look after my little brothers.
