department arrived, and, with much   5  , removed me from the vehicle.
Soon, I learned I had broken my back and neck and would need to be transported to another hospital equipped 
to handle serious   6  . The doctors there ordered a plastic body cast (全身石膏) to be made for me. When I was 
finally discharged, I was told to keep the body cast on for four months.

When the body cast   12  , I continued physical therapy and was doing yoga within one year. I never     13

The morning sun had just begun to rise over Siblyback Lake when Aimee, Britney, and Abi started their 18-
mile training run for the London Marathon. The rhythm of their footsteps was suddenly   
 
 1    
 
  by panicked 
bleating (咩咩叫). A hundred yards ahead, they spotted a terrified sheep being   
  2    
   into the icy waters by a 
barking sheepdog. Without hesitation, all three women     3       sprinted toward the scene.
What they saw was   
 
 4    
 
 . The sheep was struggling to keep its head above water, its movements 
increasingly wild. “We could see the absolute   
  5    
   in its eyes,” Aimee later   
  6    
  . Britney and Abi, still 
wearing their running shoes and gear, stepped into the     7       water, while Aimee     8       help on her phone.
The rescue proved more challenging than expected. The lake’s icy current   
  9    
   to pull both rescuers and 
sheep under. Britney attempted to calm it while Abi   
  10
    
   a hold on its wool. After nearly fifteen minutes, they 
finally guided the   
  11
    
   creature back to shore, where it immediately collapsed onto the grass. For the next half 
hour, they remained watchful, rubbing the sheep’s limbs to   
  12
    
   circulation and covering it with their running 
jackets. As dawn fully     13
      , the revived animal walked away shakily.
The impact of the rescue lingered with the women long after. “What began as a(n)   
  14
    
   training run 
became a lesson in sympathy,” Britney reflected as they finally resumed their marathon preparation, their clothes 
still damp but their spirits     15

Motivation is delicate. When you notice your motivation fading, you have to make a small adjustment, which 
can make all the difference between     1       something or not.
I learned this lesson from a drive to a picturesque mountain range that lies just an hour from my city. However, 
the road there is dangerously   
  2    
  , with sharp turns every few seconds. Driving through it was once a   3  . 
My child often got carsick, while   4   local drivers followed closely on my tail. The short journey always left me 
exhausted, and my motivation to visit   5  .
One day, I tried a new approach: I drove really   6  . It helped my child, but the line of cars in my mirror 
still   7   me out. Feeling pressured, I would speed up again. So then I made one small adjustment: I tilted the 
rearview mirror up,   8   the view behind me.
That simple method   9   everything. I could finally enjoy the drive at my own   
  1  0  
 
 , appreciating the 
scenery. While cars occasionally pulled ahead whenever they could, they were no longer my main   
  1  1  
 
 . Each 
crossing of the mountains has now become a journey of peace.
I’ve reflected a lot since then. I’ve realized that we are often demotivated by   
  1  2  
 
  pressures — be they 
social media, distracting environments, or   
  1  3  
 
  voices, much like those cars filling up my mirror. Learning to 
occasionally “tilt the mirror” — to consciously tune out the     1  4  
 
  of others — is essential to protecting our drive 
and     1  5  
 
  at our own pace.

With piles of magazines and newspapers, empty cardboard boxes, and junk in every corner, there was nowhere 
to sit. Just as I was feeling deeply   1   of my messy living room, a knock at the door got me up. Finding it was 
Debra, my new   2  , I opened the door a slit (缝) and pressed my knee against it,   3   her looking inside. “Hi, 
Linda. My phone isn’t installed yet,” she said. “Can I use yours?”
“No problem,” I said. “Follow me.” Little did Debra know that I meant to lead her through the path I would 
4   as we went. “Sorry about the mess,” I said when we passed the kitchen with its sink full of dishes.   5  , 
Debra left immediately after   6   the phone, kindly not showing any   7  .
A few days later, Debra knocked at the door again. “I don’t mean to   8   you. I just want you to know my 
house used to look like yours. But it became tidy after I started tidying it for only fifteen minutes a day.” Touched 
by her sincerity, I   9   that I would give it a     1  0  
 
 .
Following Debra’s   
  1  1  
 
 , I began setting aside 15 minutes each day to tidy my house. Weeks later, looking 
around the neat house, I felt a sense of     1  2  
 
  and decided to call Debra. “Let’s have coffee.”
“I’d     1  3  
 
  that,” she said. “Should we meet at Starbucks?”
I took a deep     1  4  
 
  and looked around again. Seeing the clean kitchen and the floor that could be walked on 
freely, I said with     1  5  
 
 , “No, Debra, I’d like to invite you to my house.”

The day dawned with excitement and curiosity. The weather was ideal: a clear sky, a mild wind dancing 
through the trees, rustling ( 沙沙声) them   
  1    
  . My father, an experienced fisherman, patiently guided me 
through fishing   
  2    
   — casting the line, feeling for a   
  3    
  , and reeling (绕线) in the catch. His calm manner 
was comforting, yet     4       stayed, rooted in the uncertainty of what lay ahead. 
I felt a burst of delight as my line first hit the water, sending tiny circles spreading across the surface, but that 
excitement soon gave way to restlessness. Minutes   
  5    
   like hours as I sat, staring at the still water, waiting for 
any     6       of life. My father sensed my growing frustration and shared his wisdom. 
His words   
  7    
   home. I started to value the peace around me: birds singing sweetly in the distance, water 
gently washing against the shore, and fish   
  8    
   occasionally to catch the light. Just as hope was fading, my line 
gave a sudden   
  9    
  . My heart   
  10
    
   as I fought to reel it in. The fish   
  11
    
   strongly, trying to escape with 
surprising quickness, but with my father's encouraging words and steady hands, I finally pulled it ashore. Holding 
the smallmouth fish was pure   
  1  2  
 
 . It was a   
  13
    
   catch, yet a great achievement to me. Its shiny scales (鳞
片) caught the sunlight, its eyes seeming to     14
       my excitement. 
Releasing it back into the lake, I felt a deep sense of fulfillment and     15
       for the creature that had given me 
such a meaningful experience.

In 1993, high school senior Jed was a star athlete at his Arizona high school. Outwardly cheerful, he   
  1      
his difficult home life from classmates. Jed’s mom, Jerry, had been   
  2    
   him and his brother, Josh, by herself. 
Although she worked multiple jobs, money was always     3      .
Despite their   
  4    
  , Jerry didn’t want her younger son to   
  5    
   a letterman jacket: a symbol of athletic 
achievement. “I   
  6    
   being at the jacket shop with my mom, and designing it myself,” he says of the jacket — 
bright red and gold for the Chaparral Firebirds, with his name and letter   
  7    
   displayed on the front. However, 
when the $300 jacket was ready, his family couldn’t     8       it. Heartbroken, he never picked it up.
Jed’s mom died in 2012 and Jed and his brother   
  9    
   in the following years. So, Jed was surprised to get a 
call out of the blue from Josh in 2021. Josh had found a letterman jacket in a small Arizona store and sent a picture. 
To Jed’s     10
      , it was his jacket. Equally amazed, Josh strode right to the     11
       and bought it — for $25.
Within a week, Jed returned to Arizona and     12
       the jacket for the first time. It fit perfectly and was clearly 
unworn, even bearing the   
  13
    
   inspection tag in the pocket. Jed was not even sure whether it was the original 
jacket shop or a different one that   
  14
    
   its stock. In either case, its reappearance felt like a miracle to both Jed 
and Josh: not only did it make them feel the   
  15
    
   of their late mom, but it also brought the brothers closer 
together.

I’d always loved the coast, but my visit to the abandoned lighthouse changed me. It started when I   1   a 
sun-faded flyer at a cafe: “Restore Old Point Lighthouse — volunteers needed.” Tired of a troubled career, I longed 
for   2   from my chaotic routine. 
At dawn, the coordinator handed me a rusty hammer. “Fix the railings,” she said. Salt-covered metal tested my 
strength; each swing was a   3   against my frustration. By midday, my arms ached, but I noticed a teen beside 
me struggling with a nail. I knelt to help: her     4       — a quick smile — felt like a small victory.
We repainted the railings and shared stories. A retired sailor said the lighthouse   
  5    
   ships through stormy 
dark: “It didn’t just glow — it gave   
  6    
  .” The words stayed with me. When we finished the final     7  
 
  — 
hanging a new lantern — we climbed to the top as the sun gilded the waves.
I realized the lighthouse wasn’t just a structure; it was a   
  8    
   of hope. My own troubles felt smaller, like 
waves crashing harmlessly against rock. On the drive home, I stopped at a bookstore and bought a guide to 
lighthouse history — a     9       to keep rebuilding, even when things feel hopeless.
Months later, I returned. A girl pointed: “This kept my great-grandpa safe.” In that breath, I realized small 
acts could   10   light for others. It is about being light, even when you feel   11   yourself.
The lighthouse taught me a   12  : restoration is piecing back parts of ourselves we’ve set aside. When  
13   come, I think of that hammer — one swing,   14   with others, can   15   what is worn into something 
whole.

It was a crisp October afternoon in Detroit, and I stood   
  1    
   at the school supply aisle (过道), my 8-year-
old son Leo holding a notebook to his chest — his eyes lighting up at the colorful markers nearby. My wallet held 
just $12 — barely enough for groceries, let alone the $40 worth of supplies on my list. Tears pricked ( 刺痛) my 
eyes as I     2       the total again, knowing I’d have to choose between his education and our dinner. 
A woman with silver hair and a warm smile approached, noticing my   
  3    
   hands. “Is everything okay, 
honey?” she asked gently. I explained my situation, my voice faltering (迟疑) with     4      , unable to meet her gaze. 
Without a second thought, she pulled out a card and said, “Let me cover this. But there’s one   
  5    
   — pay it 
forward when you can.”
Her name was Margaret, a retired teacher who’d been doing this for years. That simple act   
 
 6    
 
  my 
perspective entirely. I started saving $5 each week, setting it aside for     7       in need. Last week, I saw a teen mom 
at the same store, her cart   
  8    
   with just a few crayons and a worn notebook. I handed her $40, repeating 
Margaret’s exact words. She stared in disbelief, then hugged me through happy tears. “I will,” she whispered. “And 
I’ll make sure to keep the     9       unbroken.”
What began as a moment of desperation turned into a lifelong commitment. I’ve   
 
 10
    
 
  over $300 in 
donations from friends who wanted to join the cause, and we’ve helped more than 20 families this year. Every time 
I pass that school supply aisle, I think of Margaret — how a single selfless act can spark a(n)   
  11
    
   wave of 
goodness. It’s not about the money; it’s about the power of choosing to see someone’s struggle and     12
       when it 
matters most. 
Along the way, I’ve   
  13
    
   many others who, like Margaret, quietly help strangers without fanfare. Their 
1  4    
 
  acts remind me that kindness isn’t about grand gestures — it’s about showing up for others in small, 
meaningful ways. And as long as we keep passing it forward, we’ll never run out of the one thing that truly 
connects us:     15
       for each other.

On a cold winter morning, Gelinne, 60, was gazing out the back windows of his home at Beards Creek when 
he spotted something terrible. A small aircraft a few hundred yards away was losing   
  1    
  . As the plane   2  
behind the trees, Gelinne realized it was going to fall in the creek (小河) . 
Gelinne didn’t   
  3    
   and ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded to a stop on the   4   creek, 
far from shore. It was now sinking and the     5       was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew that even a few minutes 
in the icy water could     6       him. 
Gelinne     7       the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John 
Jr., pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out from under their back deck. The kayaks’ paddles proved too   8  , so the pair 
tried using shovels (铲子) to move along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with some     9  
, they made progress. 
The two men set off, pushing their   10   across the ice. It was   11   work. Soon they were out of 
strength. Now, only the tail was   12   and the pilot was crouching on a tail wing. Gelinne pushed his kayak off 
the ice and into the water,   13   toward the man and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I flip?”
Gelinne focused on keeping him   14  , joking, “Just   15   the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” 
Finally, the pilot was pulled out of the water and sent to the hospital immediately.

Xia Yujie, owner of China’s first accessible pub — Pub HandyCup, had his left hand disabled in a middle 
school medical accident. The experience gave him a unique   
  1    
   on disability and life, fueling his wish to build 
a(n)   
  2    
   social space. After studying law in China and the US on a scholarship, he noticed a   
  3    
  : public 
places had basic accessible facilities, but the disabled lacked relaxing, barrier-free social spots.
This observation   
  4    
   his dream of a pub for all. After months of preparation, it   
  5    
   on Shanghai’s 
Xinhua Road in May 2024. Every corner is   
  6    
   designed, with ramps, wide wheelchair passages, adjustable 
tables and dual-height bars for easy socializing.
Practical   
  7    
   fill the space: Braille (盲文) maps, rounded table corners and free hearing-aid batteries, all  
8    
   he visually and hearing-impaired. The pub’s name, a take on “handicap”, is a meaningful   
  9    
   of breaking 
barriers with inclusion.
It has been a popular pub for all, including 38-year-old Fu Ming, a disabled business owner,   
  10
    
   to 
promoting accessibility. As a loyal     11
      , he moves around the pub with ease in a wheelchair and shares Xia’s   
1  2       that accessibility means equal convenience for all.
Xia sees himself as a bridge between the disabled and able-bodied. The pub frees him from the seriousness of 
his legal work, letting him fully   1
 
 3       his sense of wonder and creativity to run his business. To him, it’s     14 
just a business, but a warm space blurring   15   between people and making inclusion a daily reality.
