“Sorry, that’s incorrect.” Never had I thought that, with the simple word “substitute”, I would meet my
Waterloo in a 41 competition. With the spotlight shining straight into my eyes, I could do nothing but walk
off the stage, my mind was blank.
The spelling competition is 42 the most long-awaited event of the year for many students in our
school. To have a wonderful stage debut (首次亮相), I devoted myself to learning English 43 for months. I
44 rather well in the first two rounds of the competition, making it to the final as 45 However, I found
that I still had a long way to go. Therefore, I spared no effort trying to 46 as many words as possible before
the big day.
Eventually, the day arrived. Seated onstage, holding my pen and paper 47 , I glanced breathlessly at the
hundreds of eager-looking faces out there. With the clock ticking away, I felt my heart 48 wildly.
Watching the other contestants (选手) spelling out their words, I waited for my 49 . Thankfully, my
first word was an easy one. After another round of waiting, it was time for my second word. “Contestant No. 43,
your word is ‘substitute’.” So 50 !
I wrote down the first four letters on my 51 . “S-U-B-S-I-T-U-T-E, substitute,” I said confidently. But
sadly, I didn’t realize the misspelling until the judge said, “ 52 .”
Making such a 53 in the competition, I did gain a deeper understanding of the 54 : He who
laughs last, laughs best. This experience has taught me that overconfidence might 55 our downfall. Only
when we stay humble can we “laugh last and best”.

I’ve reached the tum-around point of the day’s kayaking (皮划艇) trip. Sweat runs down my cheek as I 21
my fingers through the cool water. I look around. It’s just me, a couple of seagulls, and shining freshwater to the
horizon. This, I whisper to myself, is 22 .
Solo outings had never 23 my mind before because I always had loyal friends willing to tag along. But
three years ago, I moved to Cleveland. Meeting close friends in a new city is 24 . And a world wide health
crisis made 25 impossible.
In October 2022, I decided to 26 a whole day on a solo hiking trip. I went to Cuyahoga Valley
National Park (CVNP) to 27 the autumn leaves. Five miles in, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so
alive. I was more 28 of my surroundings than I’d ever been while hiking that day. I studied the markings of
trees, focused my ears on each forest sound and did something I had almost never spared 29 for: I listened
to my own thoughts. Every word in my mind pointed to a newfound 30 —solo hiking is my happy place.

When I was a teenager, my dad wasn’t terribly interested in the music I liked. To him, it just sounded like “
21 ”, while he referred to the music he listened to as“ 22 .” As I’ve grown older, I’ll often hear people of
my age say things like “they just don’t make 23 music like they used to.”
Luckily, my 24 as a psychologist has given me some insights into this puzzle. We know that musical
tastes begin to 25 when we’re teenagers. By the time we’re in our early 20s, these tastes get locked into
place pretty firmly.
In fact, studies have found that by the time we turn 33, most of us have 26 listening to new music.
Meanwhile, those familiar songs released when you’re in your early teens are likely to remain quite 27
among your age group for the rest of your life. There could be a biological 28 for this. There’s evidence that
the brain’s ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms and melodies gets 29 with
age. So to older people, less 30 songs might all “sound the same”.
But I believe there are some simpler 31 for older people’s dislike of newer music-the “mere exposure
effect”. It means that the more we’re 32 to something, the more we tend to like it.
Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we 33 as teens seem more intense than thosethat come later. We also know that intense emotions are 34 with stronger memories and preferences. All of
this might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.
So there’s 35 wrong with your parents because they don’t like your music. In a way, it’s all part of the
natural order of things.

The days that make us happy make us wise.
--- John Masefield
When I first read this line by England's Poet Laureate, it 21 me. What did Masefield mean?
Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the 22 was true. But his serious assurance was
23 . I was deeply attracted by it.
Slowly, I seemed to 24 his meaning and realized the wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in
clear perception(洞察力), not 25 by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind
26 caused by fear.
Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or 27 ---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the
unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has 28 it. Amazingly, in your eyes, thegrass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the 29 of your friends are more understandable, and more
forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your 30 vision.
Nor are the 31 of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts
focused on your emotional woes (痛苦) , your vision is cut short as though blocked by a wall. Happy, the wall
32 .
Consequently, the long vision is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you---people,
thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now 33 a larger scene. Everything covers a fairer 34 .
Everything around you, whether it is encouraging or frustrating, no longer seems such a big deal. And here is the
beginning of 35 .

In 2019, Tomas Quinones undertook a 7-day bike trip, covering some remote desert in Oregon. His trip was
41 with the usual difficulties. He lost his shoes and was only relying on a pair of sandals (凉鞋). His water
supply was sometimes 42 . But there were also moments of unexpected 43 : A couple offered
to share their lunch; a guy in the truck asked if he needed any help.
On the last day of his trip, he was riding down a dusty track when he met a man lying unconscious in thedesert. 44 , he was dehydrated (脱水的). Quinones tried to give him some water with little 45 .
Luckily, he called the emergency rescue team and an ambulance soon arrived. The man he 46 was an
explorer who had been lost in the desert for 5 days. “I never had any 47 about what I would do,” said
Quinones. He had received some gestures of help on the trip, so he 48 .
It’s likely that if you’ve spent any time in the wild, you’ll have 49 these gestures of kindness from
strangers or given them yourself too even if they are nothing so 50 as the aid given by Quinones.
What is it about being outside in nature that makes people want to help others?One opinion is that in the wild,
there may not be any other 51 , so according to the “bystander effect”, the more people who are in the
presence of someone needing help, the less likely any of those are to actually provide it. Another opinion is that
exposure to nature can make people look beyond themselves, 52 a sense of connection to others and to
the world as a whole.
When we risk going into the wild, we become weak. And being in that position usually makes us 53
the world differently. So, in the wild, where we’re taken away from our normal possessions, surroundings and
identities, we seem more 54 to go the extra mile for someone. It’s in nature that bonds of humanity
are 55 .
