Over the years I 1 (teach) children about a simple but powerful concept — the ant philosophy (哲学),
2 amazing four-part philosophy.
First, ants never quit. If they’re heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll climb over, they’ll climb
under, and they’ll climb around. They never quit 3 (look) for a way to get where they 4 (suppose)
to go. Second, ants think about winter all summer. They are always gathering their winter food in the middle of
summer and they are making 5 (prepare) for the long cold winter. So you have to think about storms in
summer, think about rocks 6 you enjoy the sand and sun. Third, ants think about summer all winter. During
the winter, ants remind 7 (them), “This won’t last long. We’ll soon be out of here.” On the first warm day,
the ants are out. If it 8 (turn) cold again, they’ll dive back down, but they come out again if it is warm. Last,
how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it 9 (possible) can.
10 you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

Victor Hugo said: “The most important quality for a man is kindness.” Why is kindness important?
Kindness is 11 type of behavior marked by acts of generosity, consideration, or concern for others,
without 12 (expect) praise or reward.
Aristotle defined kindness 13 “helpfulness towards someone in need, not in return for anything, nor
for the advantage of the helper himself, 14 for that of the person helped”.
15 (base) on experiments at Yale University using games with babies, some studies concluded 16
kindness is native to human beings. Researchers also carried out some other similar 17 (study) about the
root of empathy (同理心) developing in the early months of life 18 (find) out the easy concern shown by
children for their peers in distress.Recently, Barbara Taylor and Adam Phillips 19 (stress) the element of necessary realism in adult
kindness, as well as the way “real kindness changes people in the doing of it, often in unpredictable ways”.
Kindness is important because if everyone is kind, the whole world will be harmonious and 20
(benefit) to everyone.

In Chinese tradition, the autumn season is associated with the color white, the sound of weeping, the emotions
of both courage and sadness. Autumn, however, for westerners, is considered to be the direction of dreams and
visions.
What does all this mean? It’s the very system 21 describes how nature works. To the Chinese, nature
means more than just the cycling of the seasons. Nature is within and around us, in all things. The basic cycles of
nature, as understood by the ancient Chinese, 22 (be) easily comprehensible by Western students of nature.
They ring true. After all, Chinese civilization flourished for many centuries before the Roman Empire 23
(come) to be. Today we know it’s part of Chinese culture to maintain and add to ancient 24 (wise). 25
contrast, the Western world tend 26 (replace) old ideas with new ideas.
Here is 27 simple example. While summer is associated with the emotion of joy, autumn is associated
with both courage and sadness. You can 28 (probable) feel the truth of that association for yourself,
because, in autumn, things are dying. The light is dying, as Earth’s orbit around the sun and tilt(倾斜) on its
axis(轴) combine to carry us in this hemisphere further away from 29 (receive) the sun’s rays most directly.
The days are getting 30 (short). Plants and trees are winding down their cycle of growth. Sadness and
courage are natural emotions as these changes are taking place.

It was late November. The trees that had been covered with lovely 91 (leaf) just a few weeks earlier
were now bare branches. The sun had become scarce as the dark nights became 92 (long). Today the sun

For parents who send their kids off to college saying, “These will be the best years of your life,” it would be
very appropriate to add, “ 101 you can handle the stress of college life.”
Freshmen are showing up already stressed out, according to the latest research study 102 reported
students’ emotional health levels at their lowest since the survey started in 1985. While in school, more students are
working part-time and near-full-time jobs. At graduation, only 29 percent of seniors 103 (offer) jobs.
Pressure to excel often creates stress, and many students are not learning how to effectively handle this stress.
Let me show five facts that I believe every college student 104 know about stress.
First, stress can make smart people do stupid things. Stress causes 105 brain researchers call
“cortical inhibition (皮层抑制).” In simple terms, stress prevents a part of the brain responsible for decision-making and reaction time and can negatively affect other mental abilities as well.
Second, the human body doesn’t discriminate between a big stressful event and a little one. Any stressful
experience will create about 1,400 biochemical events in your body. If any amount of stress is left 106
(uncheck), many things can occur within the body, including premature aging and energy drain.
Third, stress can become your new pattern. When you regularly experience negative feelings and high
amounts of stress, your brain recognizes this 107 your normal state. This then becomes the new norm
(常态) for your emotional state.
Fourth, stress can be controlled. Countless studies demonstrate that people can restructure their emotional state
using emotion refocusing techniques. One technique 108 (involve) slowing your thoughts, breathing
slowly, and focusing on the positive feeling that you receive.
Finally, 109 (draw) to what you study can lessen stress. Barbara Frederickson, a leading
international authority on the importance of positive emotions, says humans are genetically programmed 110
(seek) positive emotions such as love and joy. It’s suggested that you should choose a major or career path you love
and enjoy. Otherwise, you could end up fighting against your own biology.

becoming a World Cup champion. Now, he has achieved this.
On Dec 18, Argentina 112 (defeat) France in the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. This
victory has helped Argentina win 113 (other) World Cup after their last win in 1986. For a long time,
Messi 114 (compare) with Maradona, an Argentina soccer legend.

(great) players in their era. Maradona succeeded in helping his team lift the trophy in the World Cup. Yet, Messi
hadn’t before.

116 (take) part in World CuIp four times before, his team’s best result was 117 (mere) runner-up in
the 2014 Brazil World Cup. Many Argentine fans felt disappointed and even suspected Messi didn’t want to win
118 World Cup for his country.
