gold medal.
The medal belongs to former canoeist (划艇运动员) Joe Jacobi, who won gold while 4 for Team
USA in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic games. The medal, along with other personal belongings, was 5 in
May of 2016 when someone broke into Jacobi’s can. Though police managed to 6 some of his stolen
items, they hadn’t been able to find his 7 Olympic medal. It may have been lost forever, if not for a 6-
year-old girl’s treasure-hunting 8 .
Chloe’s dad had seen Jacobi’s story on the news, and 9 realized it was his stolen property. He
found Jacobi’s email and sent him pictures of the treasure. After 10 the medal, Jacobi was astonished, just
speechless.

promised to speak to her class when school begins again this fall. The 13 of this little girl reuniting an
Olympian with his beloved possession is 14 . When we talk about character and doing the 15

Passage 2公众号：黑洞视角
An old car, a few dollars in the pocket, and a sense of adventure. That’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler
needed for the 16 of a lifetime. They met on a park bench in Regent’s Park and 17 a year
later. For their honeymoon, they decided to try what few people thought 18 —crossing Europe and
Asia overland, all the way to Australia. It took them several months and all the money they could earn or borrow,
but they 19 .
It was too amazing an experience to 20 themselves. 21 by their friends, they

26 over 100 million books. Lonely Planet enables curious 27 to experience the world and
get to the heart of a place through guidebooks and almost every place on the planet.
Tony and Maureen are continuing to travel and devote much of their spare time to 28

Today I am working with Sim on for starting a mobile repairing shop. His 31 made me think of
the day he joined us as a participant under Naya Savera, a skill-building program for different backgrounds.
My memory stretches back very 32 . When I first looked at him during selection interview we

Simon has a 35 problem in both his legs. And to reach from one place to another he has to 36公众号：黑洞视角

He made us 38 with all his funny stories. And made us cry by sharing his 39 to live
normally. It is a pity that people underestimate him and look down on his 40 to become a successful
person. By the time interview was over, we were all looking at him with awe and wondered who 41
whom, as most of the time he was the one posing questions.
Needless to say, he was selected for the training program and also 42 the program with ease. He
was one of the 43 who never missed even a single day of training. He was one of the highest scorers in
exams 44 on the last day of the training program. He touched everyone with his positivity and 45

Passage 4
When John asked his daughters which sculptures they like best, they shouted excitedly, “The Story birds!”.
These birds are the 46 of Robin and John. Robin explains, “Made from plain clay (黏土), the colorful
ceramic birds stand on metal legs. There is a little 47 in it. Together, we make something better.”
At John’s house, art is a family 48 . Robin brings style to their ceramics. John crafts the metal
elements of the sculptures, Their daughters, Ruby, Eliza and Carmella, help too. “The girls 49 into bodies,”
says John, “Everyone contributes to the works, so every sculpture is a symbol of our 50 effort.”
There are lots of 51 to turn a clay into a bird. First, John breaks the clay and 52 it until about
one-quarter inch thick. He covers it so that it won’t dry out and 53 . Then, Robin 54 . She thins the
clay here and there, pushing in and out to make the bird’s body. John adds fresh clay on the drier clay and Robin
55 the body with bright colors. Then it is Ruby’s turn. She sculpts it. Eventually, the bird will go into an oven
for firing-baking and 56 . Robin programs the oven so that the temperature 57 bit by bit. Total
oven time can be 20 hours. “That may be a long time.but the 58 you heat the clay, the more likely it is to公众号：黑洞视角
crack.” Robin says.
Soon, the bird stands 59 on its feet, John shows it to his families. “I did the carving!” Ruby says

making art together.

she 61 two boxes stuffed with hundreds of letters, which were handwritten in the 1950s. The letters were

Passage 6

himself at a medical center 30 miles from home for the second time in 24 hours. Sumiel was on the transplant (移

Uber to and from his appointment.
Uber driver Timothy Letts took Sumiel as his 79 even though the trip was out of his way, sensing

Passage 8
I was then in my early twenties. Even though I was armed with a degree in Education, finding a 106
teaching job was not easy. I had to try some temporary ones.公众号：黑洞视角
This year, when a golden opportunity 107 , I 108 it and took things seriously. The job was to
teach 5th grade students in a local school. I 109 myself with lesson plans, taught with enthusiasm, and
stayed 110 with the students. I had no hesitation in 111 the kids when they got the answer right,
and encouraged them if they didn’t.
One day when the kids were 112 , a girl approached and handed me a 113 before she went
home. On it was a lovely drawing full of childlike wonder, 114 by the words, “You are the best teacher I
have ever had!” It really amazed me that one of my kind comments had 115 that girl’s heart greatly. I took
that note home and 116 put it in a folder, looking on it as a 117 because it was very important.
Anytime I was feeling down I would look at it and it proved to be a 118 .
That experience showed me the 119 of just a single kind word. It encouraged me to continue to try
my best each day to 120 love and kindness through my words and actions. Wish the same for others.

Passage 9
“Oh, no! You’re moving?” Such was my neighbor’s concern when she saw household items appearing on my
lawn (草坪) and 121 my driveway.
“Nope. Just cleaning house!” I called back, smiling.
This yard sale had been the result of six months of 122 . I had searched every 123
and overflowing closet and cupboard — crazy about my seeking to find items to sell.
I met loads of 124 and friendly people. The Mirror Lady was thrilled to buy the antique mirror
from my first apartment for her daughter’s first apartment; and the Futon Girl, a college sophomore, said my futon
(沙发床) and frame were 125 for her dorm room.
And how can I 126 the Camera Man? Bending absorbedly over the “technology” table, he
spotted my husband’s faded camera bag from the early 80s. Zippered compartments (隔包) 127 a公众号：黑洞视角
broken camera and a few old lenses (镜头). “Wow!” he said, as he picked it up and made me a(n) 128
. I asked what he was going to do with it. “It’s just cool — I have a shelf at home for cool fashionable technology.”
So 129 he bought it so he could look at it. As he walked down the driveway with the dusty bag
130 over his shoulder, for a second I 131 my journalist husband doing the same, heading
out to 132 a story. That made me feel 133 .
All yard sales lasted two days. As hard as it can be to let things 134 , the true value of those
things is to 135 you of a place you lived in, a special time in your life, or a loved one in your heart.

Passage 10
Growing up in coastal Maine, Lynda Doughty spent lots of time out on the sea. There she often saw whales,
seals and other marine (海洋的) animals. She developed a(n) 136 for the wildlife living along the coast.
“I remember being so amazed by them and 137 what was happening in their life,” Doughty said.
She also 138 that their livelihood was influenced by pollution and other human-related activities. She
wanted to do something to 139 these animals.
So she became a marine 140 and worked with organisations that provided help for sick and injured
sea animals. But as many nonprofits (非营利机构) closed their doors, Doughty decided to step in.
In 2011, she 141 her nonprofit, Marine Mammals of Maine, and has since provided help and medical
care for more than 3,000 sea animals.
When COVID-19 broke out, things became more difficult, but they couldn’t 142 —the animals
143 , needed their help.
“We were so nervous of how we would 144 as a nonprofit in uncertain times,” Doughty said. “
145 , our team stood strong and we were able to continue to help animals.”
When another New England-based marine animal rescue program 146 its animal care during公众号：黑洞视角
COVID-19, Doughty’s work became more 147 than ever.
“We could no longer take any 148 to their rescue center and there were not enough rehabilitation
(康复) places for these animals. Actually, we were really 149 and there was more pressure for our center
to stay open,” Doughty said.
“I feel this strong 150 to help these animals,” Doughty said. “This is what I was put on the earth to
do.”

Passage 11
Every year I’d read over 2,000 college applications from students all over the world. It is quite 151
to choose whom to admit. 152 , in the chaos of SAT scores and recommendations, one 153 is
always irresistible in a candidate: kindness.
The most surprising 154 of kindness I’ve ever come across came from a student who had excellent
scores and a supportive recommendation from his college consultant. Even with these qualifications, he might not
have 155 . But one letter of recommendation caught my eye. It was from a school security 156 .
Letters of recommendation are 157 written by people like former presidents, celebrities, and Olympic
athletes.
The security guard wrote that he supported this student’s admission because of his 158 . This
young man was the only person in the school who knew the 159 of every member of the guard staff. He
turned off lights in empty rooms, consistently 160 the hallway monitor each morning and tidied up the
classroom after his 161 left school even if nobody was watching. This student, the security guard wrote,
had a(n) 162 respect for every person at the school, regardless of position, popularity or power.
It gave us a 163 onto a student’s life in the moments when nothing “counted”. That student was
admitted by unanimous (一致的) vote of the admissions committee.公众号：黑洞视角
Next year there might be a flood of security guard recommendations due to this essay. But if it means
students will start paying as much 164 to the people who clean their classrooms as they do to their
principals and teachers, I’m happy to help start that 165 .

Passage 12
I am the “Laundry Goddess”. Well, that’s what my kids call me anyway because I have the talent for finding
the right 166 for any stain. From spaghetti sauce and grass marks to ballpoint ink stains, whatever my
family 167 me, I seem to be able to find a way to make it look brand new again. It’s a skill I got from my
mother. My mom wouldn’t admit it, but I think she 168 doing the laundry.
The laundry room was Mom’s territory. It was 169 , with only the shushing (沙沙声) of the washing
machine or the hum of the dryer to interrupt her. She would 170 down early in the morning, often still in
her housecoat, to put in the first 171 of the day. We would find her there, leaning on the freezer, happily
having a coffee and reading the newspaper or her library book.
I don’t remember Mom teaching me the ways of the laundry room. I learned to 172 towels and small
items as a youngster. I spent many hours ironing clean cotton handkerchiefs and pillowcases. But the 173
wasn’t part of my training. So when I left home and moved 174 the country, stain 175 required an
expensive long-distance phone call home.
My washer and dryer seem to have more 176 than a jet plane, certainly many more than the
machines used by my mom. I have made the 177 from laundry powder to liquid, and I have my own
favorite stain 178 . But every time I step into the laundry room and think about how to deal with a
particularly difficult stain, I 179 the Laundry Goddesses who came before me for her wisdom and
perseverance. And each clean item of clothing is a 180 force in a chaotic world.

Passage 13
Yang Haoran, born into a family of cotton farmers, spent his childhood playing in the cotton fields. He 181
how hard his parents had to work using conventional farming methods, as well as how automation has 182
productivity and saved labor.
Having finished university, Yang became a 183 farmer himself. However, unlike his parents, his
experience has been very 184 ; he manages over 200,000 square meters of cotton fields and always 185
new ways to improve efficiency through technological 186 .
In 2018, he saw the great business 187 of using drones (无人机) in farming and established his own
company, which 188 13 drone operators, all of whom are post-90s workers like Yang himself. “We are like
a big family, with members from different ethnic groups,” Yang said 189 .
In peak growing season, they move their 190 in a skillful way over the fields while in the off-season,
they train local farmers to 191 drones. To date, Yang’s team has trained hundreds of local farmers. “This
will enable them to 192 new technologies, allowing them to 193 the advances in modern
agriculture,” he said.
Yang’s 194 does not end there. He has recently taken up a precision (精准) farming project, which
uses drones to collect data for spectral analysis (光谱分析), and transmit real-time data on crop growth and soil
moisture to the irrigation and fertilizer equipment for precision 195 .

serious burns and scars (伤疤) all over my body. I spent many years in hospital having hundreds of 197 ,
which meant years and years of skin grafts (移植).
In my teens, I realized that I was 198 to my friends. They were all beautiful young ladies and I had
these terrible scars under my clothes which made me feel ugly. 199 , swimming helped me a lot. I can’t
200 that I was burned (烧伤) in the water and yet it also helped to 201 me. In the water I was at my

I was a competitive (有竞争力的) swimmer for many years and then was 202 to be a swimming
teacher for the local swim club. Even though 203 in a gym is difficult for me, swimming is much 204
as I can sweat in the pool.
This year I swam from Asia to Europe alongside the talented physical sports expert Professor Greg. I swam

Passage 15
That year I was nineteen and studying chemistry at college. My family thought education was the 211
to success. I agreed. However, I felt dull in chemistry class. One day, my professor asked, “Why are you here when
you have little 212 in chemistry?” I tried to explain by blaming pressure from my 213 . But
apparently he knew it was just a(n) 214 excuse. He said, “Your success can only be measured by
yourself, but not by your parents. There is no secret to success, no examination you have to 215 , but
passion is very important. To be successful, you must follow your 216 . Whether you are passionate about
fixing cars or exploring the world, you must be passionate about your goal and 217 a path to realize it.
Then you will achieve success and find 218 .”
At nineteen, the advice was hard for me to 219 , but I knew he was correct. His words 220
me I should consider “I think” rather than “my parents think”. I made a selfexamination and found my passion was
221 . I had a gift for playing the piano but I 222 it.
There was only one way to 223 whether I could be a successful musician, so I took my professor’s
advice and 224 to the university’s music school.
I’m now fifty years old, and live 225 . When I watched the various awards I received on the walls in
my office, a contented smile appeared on my face.

Passage 16公众号：黑洞视角
Returning home from my university on a hot day, I longed for a cold sugary drink. I rushed to the fridge to
226 one, sat on my sofa and 227 playing with my mobile phone. That was where I 228 an
ad for some burgers and fries. I decided to order because I was 229 and needed some 230 to
finish my to-do list for the day.
I didn’t know at that point that eating this type of highly processed food would make me feel lazier, sleepier
—and 231 my whole life in a harmful way.
I had moved away from home in 2021, when I was 18, to 232 my education. It was my first time
living without my family and 233 myself independently. I was out of my comfort zone and felt 234
. There were so many things to do, so I paid little attention to my 235 because eating highly processed
food seemed the quickest and 236 thing to do.
About 4 weeks after moving away from home, I continued 237 whatever I wanted, until one day
my stomach hurt so badly that I could 238 walk. My doctor told me it was the 239 of all the

Passage 17
Last year, I started the journey of being a remote product designer. The thought of a 241 schedule,
a comfortable home office, and the escape from the crowded public transport was incredibly 242 . The
first few weeks were filled with a long-lost feeling of 243 .
However, the 244 of working from home gradually set in. I had started my day with the best
intentions, promising myself quick breaks and regular 245 . But deadlines, endless emails, and virtual
meetings 246 me to my computer throughout the day, leaving me little time to 247 . Gone

One day, I tried 250 one of my favorite dresses and it wasn’t passing through my waist at all.
Glancing at myself in the mirror, I saw a 251 person carrying extra weight, rather than someone enjoying
freedom. The 252 of work and personal life had left me feeling like I was a never ending motion
machine.
This incident marked the 253 of a journey of self-discovery. I made up my mind that I needed a(n)

mental health, and a commitment that I could 255 control over my life and my body.

Passage 18
It was 1:20 a.m. I had just gone to bed, a bit 256 after celebrating my 31st birthday. Before dinner,
I’d placed 257 outside my garden door and prepared the cell phone just 258 . After all, it had
been 259 that week, resulting in flood warnings.
I was awakened by the 260 of rushing water. When I swung my legs off the bed, I was shocked to
feel cold water already up to my knees and 261 fast.
Shaking in darkness, I 262 my phone and turned on its flashlight. Then by the light I could 263

a quiet, slow moving river in my region, had 264 burst its banks. And now I had to 265 !
I took 266 action. Any effects of the alcohol before sleep were gone; 267 sobers
(使清醒) one up. After I went outside, I learned the river had flooded the neighbourhood. Therefore, if I had woken
up just a few minutes later, I would have drowned.
In the end, I think the experience made me 268 and determined to live each day to its fullest. I
came very close to drowning that day. But rather than dwell on (沉湎于) what happened, I prefer to 269公众号：黑洞视角

nicknamed (给……起绰号) her “Rubbish Girl” and have bullied her for her selfless efforts to help the 274 .
But instead of letting them bring her down, she’s using their negativity as motivation (动力).
“I’m not going to 275 doing the right thing because of them,” she said. “I’m doing something to 276
the world which they also live in. It’s everyone’s job. We are all 277 for keeping this world safe, instead of
believing it’s always someone else’s job.”
Nadia’s mum, Paula, said she is 278 proud of Nadia for not only standing up to her bullies, but also
standing up for what she believes in. “I told her she had two 279 — she could either stop collecting rubbish,
stop attracting their 280 so that they would leave her alone, or she could face the challenge, be the ‘rubbish
girl’ and keep her 281 .”
As a result of the local media attention, Nadia has created a group named “Team Rubbish Girl”, where she
shares updates on her green efforts. Positive 282 have poured in, all in 283 of Nadia, encouraging
her to carry on with the green efforts.
“Sweetheart, you are a star that 284 really bright above the rest. Hold your head high and never let
