Perhaps only by adapting to a new environment can we find the strength and hope to push us through the doorway to success. Then, we’ll change our attitude (态度) to life, allowing us to 1 the challenge and step into a new 2 of life. Personally, it was a challenge to 3 the cherished (珍藏的) memories of the past and accept a new start in senior high school where there are no familiar 4 . What’s worse, I have to live apart from my parents. What I can do, aside from complaining, is to 5 on my studies. Though 6 , I managed to get through the first week and happily left school for home. But on my way home, I happened to meet an old friend — my classmate from junior high school. I realized we were facing the same 7 . It is not easy to spend five days a week in senior high school with 8 people until the weekend. We talked for a long time on the way about the joys and 9 of school, as well as each other’s feelings. We also 10 each other. I think it gave me the 11 to move forward and adjust to the new environment. Meanwhile, I understand that I must be 12 for myself and many other things. As a result, I 13 entered a new stage of my life. Now I am 14 to accept what the new school has to offer and embrace my new life. As the saying goes, “Better to light one candle than to curse (诅咒) the darkness.” Only then will I 15 my time and make continuous progress. 1．A．be faced with B．be worried about C．be exposed to D．be used to 2．A．campus B．stage C．goal D．topic 3．A．live up to B．give away C．set up D．give up 4．A．styles B．paths C．faces D．sights 5．A．focus B．pass C．hold D．try 6．A．attracted B．amazed C．tired D．confident 7．A．exchange B．challenge C．change D．charge 8．A．unfamiliar B．unfriendly C．similar D．unusual 9．A．greatness B．convenience C．safety D．troubles 10．A．contacted B．encouraged C．compared D．competed 11．A．solution B．honor C．courage D．stress 12．A．suitable B．responsible C．powerful D．ready 13．A．successfully B．quickly C．obviously D．fluently 14．A．addicted B．curious C．eager D．annoyed 15．A．view B．apply C．admire D．treasure Passage 2 I stepped into senior high with mixed feelings. I felt nervous, for everything seemed 1 . I worried I couldn’t 2 my new classmates and keep up with heavy schoolwork. On the first morning, our head teacher Ms. Wang gave us a warm talk. She told us that growth always comes with 3 and encouraged us to take small steps. She also suggested we join clubs to find friends sharing the same 4 . I chose the reading club. At first I was too shy to 5 in group discussions. One girl beside me smiled and invited me to share my ideas. Her kindness 6 me a lot. Gradually, I dared to speak out. Our teacher often reminds us not to compare ourselves 7 others. Everyone learns at a different speed. When I feel stressed, I turn to my teacher or club friends for 8 . They listen patiently and offer useful advice. Last month, I took part in a reading sharing activity. I was 9 at first, but my club mates cheered for me. After I finished my speech, their warm applause made me so 10 . High school journey is full of changes. We may meet ups and downs. As long as we accept the new environment bravely and value every small 11 , we can grow into a better version of 12 . I used to think high school only meant grades. Now I realize it is also about 13 ourselves and building true friendships. Difficulties do not mean failure. If we stay 14 and keep trying, we will make progress little by little.

However, I noticed the 1 from junior school right away since students around me were trying their best to get good 2 to stand out from the crowd in a competitive high school environment. It was surprising for me to 3 that my friends were no longer willing to meet very often after school. This made me 4 that perhaps I failed to know the true meaning of these 5 years. It became especially 6 after I talked to my best friend. He told me that he was really 7 about me because I seemed to have no plan when it came to 8 for college. Honestly, he was right. 9 , my best friend was wise and able to explain his 10 to me. He offered to spend time studying with me and getting me ready for the test to make sure I didn’t 11 anything meaningful from the textbook. This was surprising for me since I was always 12 that activities like reading textbooks could not be enjoyable. I was wrong, and this 13 taught me that having fun in high school doesn’t just mean going to parties. Instead, you can have a(n) 14 experience that will also be good for your future. I’m glad that I was able to learn from this situation. I understood and was able to change my 15 and attitude towards studying in high school just in time.

The first day we entered the campus, we were 1 by its beauty and bright-colored stone statues of fairies (精灵) that 2 there. As we got older, I discovered the school wasn’t always where beauty was an everyday 3 . The weather-beaten stone statues badly needed 4 . However, there weren’t enough staff to get everything done. I decided to do something to give the campus a new 5 . My sister had a similar idea and we came up with a plan to secretly 6 the school. Having carefully worked out a project, we got 7 from the administration (管理层) to do it. We first painted the stone statues, refreshing the few remaining fairies. To bring 8 and magic to the campus, we painted on the doors of the boys’ and the girls’ bathrooms the sun and moon pattern 9 designed by my sister. The tree by the school gate was dead and its bare branches were 10 , leaving only the trunk. The young schoolmates were 11 about the loss of this tree and the trunk left was a sad 12 to them of the once-living tree. 13 transforming this trunk into a fairy house for visiting fairies to stop by and have a little snack, I put little 14 in the house so that the children could look into the little fairy kitchen while walking by. While cutting and shaping the trunk took many hours, it was well worth it for we 15 a wound in our natural environment.

Last year, I decided to learn a new foreign language and 1 online German classes. My teacher and I 2 a few times a month for person-to-person practice. He was very 3 . Whenever I used a new word or phrase, he would smile and say, “You’ve made great progress!” At first, I felt a bit 4 since I thought I was an adult. But soon that feeling gave way to trust, and I began to tell him the 5 of learning the language. “Don’t worry; I’m here to help you,” he would assure me. By the end of the course, I was 6 to find that both my German and my 7 had improved greatly, thanks to those simple 8 and small talks. That was when I realized how 9 I had praised my students. I had been too busy pointing out their 10 . Since then, I’ve completely changed my teaching style and always tried to use 11 words as often as possible. The result? My 12 have become more interested in my class and spoken more freely. The most 13 lesson I have learned from my teacher is that a few kind words can 14 wonders.

It was a big 1 for me, and my progress was slow. 2 , I often felt defeated by the ups and downs of language learning. My attitude towards English was not positive, and it seemed like a very 3 task. One day, my English teacher noticed my 4 . She sat with me and provided specific 5 on how to learn English. She 6 the importance of having the right attitude and determination, which she said were 7 to overcoming the difficulties. She recommended traditional 8 to me, like keeping a vocabulary journal and connecting new words with characters in my favorite movies. It made the learning process more 9 .

It was 1 in the late nineteenth century by L. L. Zamenhof, who aimed to create an easy-to-learn language as a second 2 for people all over the world. As a teenager, I was learning how to connect with others. I enjoyed free travels and group activities to 3 people. For me, Esperanto seemed like a community that brought people together. Yet I doubted its 4 . With the Internet providing tools for communication across distance and difference, why take the 5 to learn Esperanto? That 6 stayed with me until years later, when I was invited to an Esperanto conference. There, I felt 7 — deep conversations, laughter, even tears as we sang together for peace. For a week, I 8 the very connection that Zamenhof had dreamed of. Then, a chance trip brought me to Green Star, 9 a famous Esperanto pub.

It started with textbooks 1 to us by a cousin in China, filled with little notes that offered a quick look into school life there — a life so similar, yet so 2 compared to my American experience. These books became my 3 in reading and writing Chinese. Hour after hour throughout most of my childhood, I copied 4 over and over, which became the basis that 5 my proficiency (熟练) far above my classmates’. The 6 was the pain in my fingers, which turned into a lasting 7 of the characters instead. Now I no longer 8 textbooks. I maintain my proficiency in the language by being absorbed in the exciting 9 of online novels. Many of my Chinese American friends and I have fun speaking Mandarin (普通话) sometimes, a language that 10 us of our roots. It’s funny to hear classmates who can write English essays using simple, 11 Mandarin phrases. It’s comforting to know that in this busy city, there’s also a place for me and the 12 I carry inside. Walking through the Chinatown, I can see beyond the English translations of shop signs and 13 the meaning hidden beneath. It feels like being let in on a special secret, a way to 14 a closely connected community and find a moment of calm.

Growing up, I heard stories about my grandfather, a headmaster in Guyana. His wife was a teacher. My father and mother continued the 1 , teaching at the secondary school levels. As National Teacher Appreciation Week is approaching, I am 2 by Charles Blow’s article in The New York Times to 3 two teachers who have never failed me: my parents. I hardly remember a period when my parents were not engaged (从事) in the act of 4 and teaching. When I was born in 1991, my dad, William Panaram, was trying to 5 a doctor’s degree (学位) in plant science in North Dakota. After we 6 to the Bronx, my mom started night classes to get a master’s degree in nutrition. 7 my mom studied, she also managed a full-time job, raised me and learned about a new city. As I watch their schooling 8 , I learn that receiving an education means much more than getting high grades. In fact, a true education has the meaning when its learners 9 . My parents both show me how to live as a good 10 . Both teach me how to love. My parents — my educators for life — make it 11 that a teacher’s job is beyond the classroom. A meaningful teacher stays with students 12 , in mind or in person. I am determined to be a good teacher myself, helping young students think freely and 13 their own ideas, which is a result of living, learning, and loving with my first teachers.

I spent much time chatting online and 1 my homework late at night. My mom often reminded me not to lose myself in the digital world. We argued many times over my phone use. I thought she was too strict and didn’t 2 my need for relaxation. I even refused to talk with her for several days after big fights. One afternoon, I saw my mom’s diary by accident. She wrote that she was afraid my eyesight would get worse and that she 3 me to form good study habits. She did not want me to 4 my future. Reading her words, my heart was 5 . I suddenly saw things from her side. Her strictness came from 6 , not control. I decided to make a 7 with my mom. I promised to set a time limit for phone use and finish homework first. In return, she agreed to 8 more space for my hobbies. We began to communicate calmly. When I feel stressed from schoolwork, I talk to her instead of hiding behind the screen. She also learns to 9 my opinions patiently. Gradually our relationship got much better. I no longer 10 our disagreements. I know disagreements are natural in families. Parent-child relationship is never 11 . It needs effort from both sides. We should avoid 12 when we have different ideas. We can listen and 13 our thoughts gently.

Leo ended up 11 more than he had in months, covering almost 10 miles. “I had the best time ever…” Leo wrote in his journal afterward, “Now, I know better: making 12 keeps you safe but small.
