moved to Beijing, I knew I had to 1 it.
Flying terrifies me — heart racing and legs shaking. I’m not

And for me, frequent short work flights only made it 3 , especially those lonely late-night ones.
With a visit to China coming, I

airport, I was 5 by how many others had paid £399 to face the same fear. Among them was Mia, who stopped
flying after a sudden panic attack. Now pregnant (怀孕), she wanted to 6 passing her fear down to her child.
Pilots led the morning session. Learning

comforting. They emphasized the 8 safety rules and over 100,000 safe flights daily.
The afternoon focused on

“breathe and squeeze” — slow breaths to control stress chemicals, and muscle squeezes to focus the mind. We

Then came the

A little boy almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world. Poliomyelitis (小儿麻痹症)
made his leg lame and his teeth 1 and protrudent (突出的). He seldom played with his classmates; and when
the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always 2 his head without a word.
One spring, the boy’s father asked for some young trees from the neighbor. He told his children to plant a 3
each, adding, “Whoever grows the best seedling, I will buy him a gift.” The boy also wanted to get his father’s gift.
But seeing his brothers carrying water to the trees 4 , anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he hoped the tree he planted
would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never 5 it.
A few weeks later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was
6
to find it not only didn’t wilt
(枯萎), but appeared greener and more 7 , compared with the trees of his brothers. His father kept his promise,
and said to him: from the tree he planted, he would become an outstanding 8 when he grew up.
Since then, the little boy slowly became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed and stared up at the
bright 9 outside the window. He just couldn’t fall asleep. Suddenly he 10
what the biology teacher once
said — plants generally grow faster at night. Why not go to see the tree? When he
11
to the courtyard on
tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with a ladle ( 长柄勺). All of a sudden, he
understood: his father had been secretly
12
his small tree! He returned to his room, tears running down his
face.
13
passed. The little boy didn’t turn botanist, but he became a lawyer. Love is the best
1 4
of life.
Even if it is just one ladleful of clear water, it can make the tree flourish and even grow into a 15
one.

When my grandfather retired, he transformed his backyard into a vegetable garden. What started as a hobby
soon became his passion. Every morning, he was 1 in the garden by sunrise. I, as a restless teenager, found his
2 puzzling. Why did he spend so much time on something that grew so slowly?
One summer, he asked for my help.
3
, I agreed, expecting it to be a dull chore. The first task was to
prepare the soil — a backbreaking job of turning it over and removing weeds. “Patience,” he said, noticing my 4
. “Good soil doesn’t happen overnight.” I rolled my eyes, 5 this was just an excuse for more work.
Weeks passed. Under his guidance, I learned to
6
the subtle signs of growth: the first sprout, the true
leaves. My initial impatience gradually
7
a quiet curiosity. I began to
8
the daily rhythm of the garden
— watering, checking for pests, and simply observing.
Then came a week of heavy storms. I worried our tender plants would be destroyed. Grandfather, however,
remained calm. “The storm will
9
the strong ones,” he said. Sure enough, after the rains, the garden looked
greener and more vibrant. The challenge had, in fact, 10
it.
The harvest day finally arrived. As we 11
tomatoes and beans, I felt a deep satisfaction I’d never known
from instant rewards. That’s when I understood. My grandfather wasn’t just growing vegetables; he was 12
a
timeless principle: meaningful growth requires patience, care, and resilience. The garden was a living classroom.
Now, years later, whenever I face a challenge that seems to
13
no progress, I think of that garden. I
remind myself that some of the best things — in life, in work, in ourselves — 14
slowly. You can’t rush them.
You can only 15
the right conditions, tend with care, and trust in time.

I usually eat an apple on the drive home from work. Normally, I carry the core (果核) into the kitchen dustbin
marked “organics.”
But one day, I
1
the core as I climbed out of the car. Guiltily, I kicked it toward the fence, 2
myself to pick it up later. Of course. I forgot all about it.
The next morning, I noticed rabbit footprints around the fence. I remembered the apple core and felt a moment
of
3
that some creature had found the treat I’d
4
left. I found myself grinning, and the happy moment
stuck in my mind.
That evening, I did the same thing at the same spot. To my delight, more
5
of different animals were
found. I began to Google them and take
6
for the following months in identifying my visitors. I felt 7
to a different world that existed all around me.
I didn’t share my new 8 with anyone and I knew the complaints from my neighbors about my seemingly
innocent gifts. I
9
all their cautionary voices and enjoyed my
10
every morning until one day, the
driveway was full of large prints, scattered mud and leaves, which deeply
11
the neighbors. I didn’t say a
word but 12
leaving my cores and my secret co-existence with wildlife came to an end.
This episode was just one innocent 13
to lessen the divide between ourselves and the many species with
whom we co-exist. It seems that living 14
our feathered and furred friends is a difficult challenge. I am 1 5
that we can figure it out, or at least lessen our impact.

When I was ten, my parents told me we were going to China for summer holiday. I was over the moon — I
had only seen the Great Wall and Forbidden City in books, and now I would walk through 1 !
For weeks, I 2 the towering palaces and red-and-gold gates. Finally, we reached Beijing. Standing in the
city center, I stared at the most 3 buildings I had ever seen. The Forbidden City was more incredible in 4
life. Golden roofs shone in the sun, delicate carvings told tales of emperors, and vast courtyards made me feel as if
I was in a fairy tale. I 5 my parents around, taking photos nonstop.
What 6 me most were the colors ― imperial yellow rooftops against deep red walls looked brighter than

it in 600 years of
history. The place was 9 tourists whose faces were full of 10
at the sight.
As afternoon passed by, we walked to the exit. Being small, I held Dad’s hand

. But suddenly, I
12
the hand — wrong watch, wrong ring! My blood turned to ice. I looked up ― a
13
Chinese man with
kind eyes. He knelt down and asked, “Lost?” I nodded, holding back tears. He asked a guard for help and kept me
calm.
Soon, I heard Dad’s voice. He
14
over and pulled me into a tight hug. He thanked the stranger
repeatedly. That day, I learned Beijing’s beauty wasn’t just in its splendid buildings, but in 15
Chinese people
like him.

One chilly Christmas Eve, Jordan Huffman, a highway maintenance worker, spotted a trash bag on the U. S.
Highway near Leavenworth.

Ten hours later, Jordan was wrapping up for the day, and still 5 . So he decided to stay for night shift,

More crewmen had been working tirelessly to 9 the owner and they finally got 10 . Around 9 p. m.,

I had some

After six months, I still found it difficult to complete even the opening 13 moves. The 7 needed for such

Pooja Rani entered the boxing area at age 18 all thanks to her coach Sanjay Kumar. However, even with much

“violent” sport.
But Pooja went after her interest in secret anyway until one day when
3
came to her father — he
discovered the truth and stopped her playing the sport. “My father didn’t 4 me playing other sports but boxing
was a(n)

no-go zone,” Pooja said. It then took six months of continuous efforts from Pooja and her coach
Sanjay to 6 her father to change his attitude. After that, she devoted herself to training.

Last week, I met Charlie at my oral English training web. He’s a(n) 5 Scottish teacher who likes jumping
and dancing while teaching. He told us he’d visited over 200 countries and done 6 jobs in different areas.
