Passage 11
On family holidays, my father transformed himself. Almost as soon as the plane landed, his ordinarily shy personality was 1 like a winter coat. He became 2 . There was a lightness about him as he chatted to 3 on the beach, inviting them to join us for dinner, where he’d entertain them with endless stories and jokes. However, two weeks later, as he got back to 4 life, he became the one of the past.
Years later, I went on a round-the-world trip, hoping to become a(an) 5 person like my father. I was soon 6 . Despite visiting eye-wateringly beautiful places, far away from the routines of life and the security of my friends and family, I still felt miserable. But as the weeks went on, something started to 7 . A woman I’d met earlier on the beach approached me and asked if I was 8 that evening to join her and a few others for dinner. We were six women of different ages. As the waves lapped on the beach, we sat together and 9 stories about our lives. I felt deeply moved by the 10 of these strangers. As I 11 my travels, I was surprised by the 12 of parts of myself that were long buried.
I think back to my father and the sharp 13 between his holiday self and his work self. I’m sure he’d have liked to experience this 14 on the other 50 weeks of the year and perhaps it’s a reminder to us all, as we unpack our suitcases, to find ways to 15 the small flames of travel into our everyday lives.

Passage 13
I’m into reading books, of which a story is still kept alive in my memory.
It goes that a master wanted to go to India. In those days, they didn’t have the modern 1 that we do today, so the master went to India on foot. When he arrived at India, he saw a lot of fruit to sell, but much of it was too expensive. So when he saw a large basket of some very red, long fruit, and thought it might be the least 2 in the shop. Thus, he went up and asked, “How much per kilo?” And the shopkeeper said, “Two rupees.” Two rupees in India was 3 ; it was like dirt. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His eyes watered; his mouth was burning; so was his head and his face became 4 . As he coughed and choked and gasped for breath, he 5 up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!” But he still continued to eat the “fruit”!
Some people who were looking at him 6 their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies! You can’t eat so many; they’re not good for you! People use them as a condiment (调味品), but only a little bit to put into food for 7 . You can’t just eat them by the handful like that; they’ re not fruit!” So the stupid master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my 8 !”
And you think that master was too stupid, right? 9 , we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We 10 money, time or effort on a relationship, business or job. And 11 the previous bitter experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more 12 that things will change better in the future, we still continue just because we’ve invested money, time, effort and love in it. If so, there is something wrong with the 13 . Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to 14 the money he had paid.
So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better to learn to 15 than continue to lose.

Passage 6
Have you ever used a GPS navigation (导航) system? They’re popular among people with poor map-reading skills. But, as Belgian woman Sabine Moreau has discovered recently, SatNav systems aren’t always 1 .
The 67-year-old 2 to pick a friend up from a train station 61 kilometers from her home. She put the address into her car’s GPS and 3 . Unfortunately, her navigation system was faulty (有缺陷的) and sent her in the wrong 4 . In total, she covered over 1,500 kilometers through five countries before she 5 something was wrong.
For hours, Sabine 6 along highways, unaware of changing views. Her phone signal was so poor that she couldn’t contact anyone. She saw all kinds of traffic 7 in French, then German. When she felt 8 , she slept in the car briefly. After motoring through Belgium, France, Germany and Austria, she stopped in Zagreb, Croatia — where her phone finally got signal. Police were about to 9 a search when Sabine called her 10 to say that she was all right. “Mom? Is that really you? I thought you were lost in a forest!” His voice sounded a little 11 and funny. Sabine laughed weakly, “Close enough — I’m in a country I can’t even 12 ! He joked, “Next time, let’s just use a paper 13 . I’ll even draw you a big arrow!”
Obviously, technology is useful, but we should never 14 depend on it. After all, the best 15 isn’t just a screen — it’s the sense to check when things don’t feel right.

Passage 7
I used to be an angry person. I’m now talkative and 1 , but for nearly 20 years, I lived with a quiet anger.
It started with my parents, who 2 everything: what I wore, where I went, what I thought. As immigrants (移民) from Bangladesh, they believed that was the best way to 3 their daughter. But I felt like a bird tied down. I even had to fight to go to university, which men in my community got as a 4 . Gradually, I found myself easily 5 with my mother and emotionally guarded.
I considered therapy (治疗), but my cultural background does not 6 western ways. I can’t imagine explaining my anger to my mother or 7 some form of apology. 8 , I accepted I had to live with my anger.
Then one day in 2023, I walked into a boxing gym for a book I was writing. The coach taught me basic punches (拳打). When I punched, he kept shouting, “Hit harder. Let me hear you.” I cried out loud — a(n) 9 sound so different from everything I’d been taught. In that moment, I didn’t have to be silent or graceful. I could be as fierce and angry as I wanted. I felt decades of anger 10 .
The two classes I had booked 11 two years of boxing. As a result, I’m happier and 12 . Where once I felt down, I now know that an hour in the 13 will refresh me.
Someone asks if I’ll ever 14 in a boxing match. I say I only box for fun. What I don’t say is that in the longest fight of my life, I’ve already 15 it.

Passage 8
I was travelling on an overnight bus from Kolhapur to Aurangabad in India. The bus — an ordinary, non-air-conditioned one — was more than 1 . All 55 seats were taken and there were some 20 people 2 in the aisle (过道). The hot day 3 the discomfort of the 10-hour journey. Because I was travelling on a student bus pass, I had no choice but to stand.
After around two very long hours, I was 4 in the hot bus. I suddenly sensed a hand tapping my hand, asking for 5 . Turning around, I found a middle-aged man with a kind smile looking up at me. He stood up and said I could 6 his seat for some time. I was pleasantly 7 and immediately accepted his offer, my entire body feeling a sense of relief. And the man stood next to me, looking around. After about 20 minutes, I stood up and asked him to 8 his seat. A man, who was sitting by the window on the other side of the bus, had observed our 9 .
Just then, something 10 happened. Our observer stood up and offered his seat to another standing man. All of a sudden, we had caused a chain reaction: almost all the standees got a(n) 11 to be seated. More surprisingly, people even started chatting with each other while exchanging positions, and soon began sharing jokes. Needless to say, the rest of the journey was quite 12 .
The bus reached its 13 in the next morning. As I stood in the early morning light, waving goodbye to the groups, I learned an important life 14 that we can all 15 what we have, including our burdens, and help our co-passengers in the journey of life.

Passage 9
After Maggie Doyne graduated from high school, she decided to take a gap year traveling the world before starting college. She 1 a few of her belongings and set off. The journey changed her life and the lives of hundreds of orphaned children (孤儿) forever.
In 2006, Doyne took a trip in Nepal, Asia. Having grown up in New Jersey, Doyne was 2 to see so many orphaned children living on the streets. One day, she saw a little girl named Hema carrying 3 to and from the village. She earned two dollars a day to support herself. She later found out that there were 80 million children across the globe living like Hema. She thought to herself, “ 4 the 80 million. What if I start with Hema?” It was then that she decided to take Hema under her wing and pay for her education.
But helping Hema was not enough for Doyne. Doyne used her 5 to buy an acre of land. Then, she built the kids a home, the Kopila Valley Children’s Home.
Now, the Do Something Foundation is doing something for Doyne. The organization provides resources and support for teens that want to make a(n) 6 in the world. On Thursday night, the foundation 7 Doyne the $100,000 prize winner of the 2009 Do Something Award.
The Kopila Valley Children’s Home 8 opened its doors in 2008. Doyne, now 22 years old, has helped more than 700 other orphans find families. She also 9 a program that provides scholarships for 10 families to send their children to school. The children learn basic skills such as sewing and cooking. They also grow their own food in their garden and raise farm animals.
Doyne 11 that she didn’t have it all 12 when she first arrived in Nepal. “I just felt that there was something there for me,” she said. Her parents were 13 of her. 14 it was a chAllange to persuade other adults that an 18-year-old girl could complete such a big project, Doyne never gave up on fund raising. In just over a year, she had enough money to build her dream home.
Doyne’s story is a good 15 that although we cannot solve all the world’s problems on our own, we can take the first step of solving one problem.

Passage 10
Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. When the other kids began to 1 that, Todd, a freshman at high school, became the 2 of taunts (嘲笑). There was little Todd could do to 3 the situation, though. His mother simply couldn’t 4 to buy him new clothes.
Two of the schoolmates laughing at him were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. However, they 5 over time that their mean 6 felt like bullying (欺凌) and seemed to be slowly crushing (毁坏) Todd’s 7 . Something finally clicked.
“I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham said. So he and Garrett 8 a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers. The next day, they met Todd and 9 him to come into the hall.
“He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham said. “I told him, ‘I 10 for laughing at you, and I want to give you something to 11 it up.’” He then handed Todd a big bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New BAllance sneakers.
Todd was blown away. “I was very 12 ,” he said. “Shocked, completely.”
Todd got much more than new 13 . At lunch, he no longer sits alone. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham.
“I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd said. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the 14 , he called it “the best day of my entire life, 15 .”

Passage 11
On family holidays, my father transformed himself. Almost as soon as the plane landed, his ordinarily shy personality was 1 like a winter coat. He became 2 . There was a lightness about him as he chatted to 3 on the beach, inviting them to join us for dinner, where he’d entertain them with endless stories and jokes. However, two weeks later, as he got back to 4 life, he became the one of the past.
Years later, I went on a round-the-world trip, hoping to become a(an) 5 person like my father. I was soon 6 . Despite visiting eye-wateringly beautiful places, far away from the routines of life and the security of my friends and family, I still felt miserable. But as the weeks went on, something started to 7 . A woman I’d met earlier on the beach approached me and asked if I was 8 that evening to join her and a few others for dinner. We were six women of different ages. As the waves lapped on the beach, we sat together and 9 stories about our lives. I felt deeply moved by the 10 of these strangers. As I 11 my travels, I was surprised by the 12 of parts of myself that were long buried.
I think back to my father and the sharp 13 between his holiday self and his work self. I’m sure he’d have liked to experience this 14 on the other 50 weeks of the year and perhaps it’s a reminder to us all, as we unpack our suitcases, to find ways to 15 the small flames of travel into our everyday lives.

Passage 12

4 , Daniel’s determination to pursue his passion did not waver (动摇). He collected waste materials from the local factory and used them to create 5 lab equipment. His creativity and resourcefulness allowed him to conduct simple experiments, and he learned a great deal from them.

He spent countless hours designing and building a 8 device that could convert waste materials into renewable energy. Despite numerous setbacks and 9 , Daniel never gave up. He worked tirelessly, 10 and improving his invention.
When the day of the competition arrived, Daniel 11 his invention to the judges. They were 12 by his ingenuity and the potential impact of his invention on the environment. To Daniel’s delight, he was declared the 13 of the competition.

Passage 13
I’m into reading books, of which a story is still kept alive in my memory.
It goes that a master wanted to go to India. In those days, they didn’t have the modern 1 that we do today, so the master went to India on foot. When he arrived at India, he saw a lot of fruit to sell, but much of it was too expensive. So when he saw a large basket of some very red, long fruit, and thought it might be the least 2 in the shop. Thus, he went up and asked, “How much per kilo?” And the shopkeeper said, “Two rupees.” Two rupees in India was 3 ; it was like dirt. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His eyes watered; his mouth was burning; so was his head and his face became 4 . As he coughed and choked and gasped for breath, he 5 up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!” But he still continued to eat the “fruit”!
Some people who were looking at him 6 their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies! You can’t eat so many; they’re not good for you! People use them as a condiment (调味品), but only a little bit to put into food for 7 . You can’t just eat them by the handful like that; they’ re not fruit!” So the stupid master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my 8 !”
And you think that master was too stupid, right? 9 , we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We 10 money, time or effort on a relationship, business or job. And 11 the previous bitter experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more 12 that things will change better in the future, we still continue just because we’ve invested money, time, effort and love in it. If so, there is something wrong with the 13 . Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to 14 the money he had paid.
So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better to learn to 15 than continue to lose.

Passage 14
My husband and I both grew up playing sports. So we didn’t feel surprised when our little daughter, Kennedi showed early athletic promise.
By the time Kennedi started primary school, track 1 our life. We stopped taking vacations 2 my girl would miss any practice. We even gave up birthdays and 3 . When Kennedi was 13 years old, at a regional Junior Olympic qualifying event, she 4 her long jump landing and ended up lying in the sand pit, screaming in 5 .
The doctor said, “She worked out too hard that the thick tissue in her knee was torn. She might not recover full athletic 6 .”
To our great 7 , the surgeon we later 8 said intensive physical treatment would probably return Kennedi to competition.
My feelings were 9 . Was I partly to blame for her injury? I realized that my kid needed a mom more than a coach. The following summer, for the first time in years, our family life did not 10 around track and field. We tried something different: an actual family vacation.
After a strict medical examination, Kennedi was 11 to compete that fall. She joined the volleyball practice team at her high school. Then we’re back to a busy family 12 .
13 , not everything is the same. We seldom miss youth group any more, even if that means missing practice. And I’m learning to trust that if my daughter decides not to run track in college, that simply 14 life has something even more wonderful in 15 .
