My Irish setter, Henry, had been trained to be a show dog. But I 31 his uniqueness right away — while
other champion dogs enjoyed holding their heads high in the spotlight, Henry would stay with children off stage. He
tilted (倾斜) his head, brown eyes 32 their minor facial expressions. Because of his 33 nature and
welcoming presence, I decided to retrain him to be a therapy dog.
His job was to 34 elementary school classes and listen to students read to him. He gave 35
attention to the readers and never corrected or laughed at them when they stuttered (结巴). After reading, students
got to put a 36 on Henry’s nose, which he’d flip (翻动) up and catch in his mouth.
One day, a special education student 37 us in class. Henry lay on the floor against the boy’s shaking
knees as he worked with great 38 to read his picture book. Words 39 in his throat. Henry licked his hands,
and the boy tried again: “Cat...in... the...” Then a cool 40 pushed the page with a picture of a hat. “HAT!” the
boy shouted. Now they had a game: Henry smelt the book, and the boy read three words.
As soon as they finished, the teacher whispered, “That was amazing!” Thinking she 41 Henry, I
replied, “Yes, he’s quite a dog.”
“No,” she said, “that is the first time this student has ever read 42 !”
It was just one of the many times I saw the value of the tiny 43 that Henry could create. Over 200
school visits, Henry was rewarded more than 600 biscuits and 44 silent fears into brave voices. Children

Last summer, I returned to my grandmother’s home in the quiet town where I grew up. The woman who once
moved with boundless 46 now seemed to be older, moving more slowly, as if her every step was
carefully 47 . Her hands, which had once moved with clear purpose, now shook 48 she nursed her tea. I
noticed the 49 , but it didn’t make her any less the center of our family. She had simply learned to move
at a different 50 , one that allowed her to enjoy moments she once rushed through.
One afternoon, we sat side by side in her garden. I was 51 the roses, my thoughts wandering as
impatience grew with how much there was to do. I wanted to finish quickly, yet my grandmother’s eyes remained
fixed on the flowers, filled with quiet understanding. “I used to rush through all this,” she said softly. “Planting,
weeding, always hurrying. Now, I find 52 in just watching them grow, letting time 53 as it
will.” Her voice wasn’t filled with any 54 ; instead, it conveyed a peaceful acceptance, as if she had 55
a new way of loving life.
In the days that followed, we shared simple moments — small tasks, quiet conversations, and the gentle flow
of our daily routine. I had always flown through tasks before, constantly focused on finishing what was next. But
watching her, I began to see a different way of being. She no longer moved quickly; each 56 was
purposeful, and in her stillness, there was a warmth I had never truly 57 before.
As I was about to leave, she smiled gently and said, “You know, love isn’t always about 58
actions. It’s in the little things, the quiet moments we share. Like how these green plants 59 , or how
we sit here together, simply being.” In that moment, I understood: true love, like true life, lies in the patience and
60 we give one another.

I recently walked through an incredible exhibition in Venice. It 61 about 75 art works that a Dutch-
American artist created during the time he spent in Italy in 1959 and 1969. The pieces on show included his ink-on-

over the years.
How could I attend the reunion looking like this? I felt embarrassed and ashamed. I finally 136 on a
simple black dress, one size bigger, so it would be 137 and cover my body.
That evening I tried on the dress again in front of the mirror at home. The dress looked 138 ! Just then,
my husband and son walked in. “Mom, what are you wearing?” My son giggled. “That dress is too big!” My
husband 139 .
I looked at my 140 once more; I looked like I was wearing a sack. I don’t know what came over
me, but I started to laugh 141 happy tears fell. It must have been 142 because we all stood there
roaring with 143 .

146 around to show him.

friends ran over to hug me. “You look amazing with that cute dress!” she said, excited. That evening I talked, laughed
and danced the night away.
That was a turning point for me. Since then, I have learned to embrace my body 148 hiding it. I
realized later that those dresses I 149 didn’t look bad on my body; it was my lack of 150 that made

look bad. My reflection in the mirror was the reflection of my lack of security.

When I was 45, the factory I worked at closed down. To continue to 151 my family, I worked as a
porter in my home town for 10 years. I carried refrigerators from warehouses to electrical appliance shops,
sometimes 152 them to customers’ homes. I worked 10 hours a day, but that labour-intensive job didn’t stop me
153
.
I would go for a run every day, carrying two buckets to a place where I could 154 water from a
mountain spring. It’s a win-win — I got better quality water while also keeping 155 .
I retired 15 years ago and life has been 156 . I’m enjoying my life and the beautiful landscapes around.
Sometimes, I went up the mountain on all fours. Just 157 the stairs was too easy for me, so one day I
decided to challenge myself by 158 an animal’s movements — I went up the mountain on all fours, like a
frog jumping. It 159 many muscles in my body. I uploaded my workout videos on TikTok, and they got
many 160 . A local media did a(n) 161 about me and then it went viral (走红).
I feel that my physical endurance (耐 力) and 162 now are better than when I was younger. Many of the
young people I meet on the mountain are not as 163 as I am. The 164 of working out all year round is
awesome. I believe that good health is the most important thing in a person’s life. My greatest wish is to be able to 165
my physical strength when I am 80.

When I was quite young, my family had one of the first telephones in the neighborhood. Then I discovered
that somewhere inside that 166 lived an amazing person - “Information Please”, and there was nothing
that she did not 167 .
One day, having 168 my finger with a hammer, I sought 169 from “Information Please”. A
gentle voice on the other end guided me to 170 the pain with ice. After that, I called her for everything,
even how to spell the word “fix”. The most 171 moment with “Information Please” was when my pet bird
died and I was 172 in grief. Having sensed my sorrow, she quietly said, “Paul, always remember that there
are other worlds to sing in.” Somehow I felt better.
I never called her again after my family moved to Boston. A few years later, on my way to college, out of
nowhere I 173 “Information Please” between plane connections. To my 174 , I heard again the
small, clear voice I knew so well: “Information.” I asked, “Could you tell me, please, how to 175 the word
fix?” There was a long pause. “I guess that your 176 must have healed by now.” We had a big laugh and
agreed to stay in touch. 177 , when I call her weeks later as promised, a different voice informed me that
Sally had 178 . She had left a message for me: I still say there are other worlds to sing in, you know what
I mean.
I do know. Thanks to this 179 with “Information Please”, I experienced the 180 of
strangers that can be found in the simplest of human connections.

I’ve been motivated — and demotivated — by other folks’ achievements all my life.
When I was a teenager, a neighborhood friend 181 a marathon race. Feeling motivated, I started
running 182 , but then two things happened. First, a girl I met one day told me she was 183 for
a “super,” referring to a 52.4-mile double marathon. Then, the next day I went on my longest run — 15 miles. To be
honest, I 184 it! Between the girl making my 185 seem small and the pure boredom of jogging, I
decided that the only 186 I’d ever run again is if a big dog was running after me!
So I 187 cycling. I got a good bike and rode a lot. I 188 of entering cycle races until I
flew to San Diego to visit my sister. While she was at work one day, I 189 her bike and went for a ride.
The 190 : the roads there went through large valleys where I’d be riding uphill for miles at a time. I’d never
faced such 191 . That day, I got 192 by about 100 “local” bikers who were used to such roads.
When I got back home, suddenly riding my bike didn’t seem quite as 193 .
I’ve 194 a lot since then. I’ve come to accept that whatever 195 I set for myself, they
just have to be my own.

I’ve always been adventurous. While working in Cape Town, I signed up for a free first-aid course by acting
as a 196 for showing bandaging (绷带) techniques. Little did I know this simple decision would 197
my life.
Back home in London, I 198 a volunteer group simulating (模拟) emergencies. We’d spend hours in
simulated 199 , pretending to have injuries while rescuers 200 safe rescue skills. Once firefighters
cut me from “a car accident” with flames shooting from under the 201 . Though safe, I couldn’t stop 202 —
it was such a real fire! But thinking these exercises could help rescuers 203 real situations calmly made all
the difference.
The most 204 exercise I’ve done was at a basic first-aid course where a young man performed CPR
on me. Three weeks later, he 205 me down to thank me. Incredibly, his grandfather suffered a heart attack
and he saved him.
Now at 81, I’ve been “rescued” for more than 1,000 times, 206 me a name “real-life crash-test

I’ll keep being out of cars as long as I'm physically able to climb into them. I don't think my age is any reason

Ed Wesolowski was watching a basketball game with his family at Duquesne University when he suffered a
heart attack. He was shaking as if he was having an epileptic seizure (癫痫发作) and then 211 . Receiving
his wife’s screaming for help, the Duquesne medical staff 212 to rescue and performed chest compressions
on him. 213 , the medical team’s quick response made all the 214 and Wesolowski was saved.
Recalling the moments just 215 the heart attack, Wesolowski described having an unusual dizzy
feeling before becoming 216 . “It started in my feet and sort of was working its way up, 217 my
body. And then the next thing I remember is coming to life,” he said.
“At the 218 moment, assistant strength and conditioning coach Liz immediately 219 the
AED (自动体外除颤器), and athletic trainer Moyer and I rushed there to do chest compressions. That’s our
instincts (本能), because that’s what we’ve been 220 to do,” said Dr Ryan Nussbaum.
Moyer added, “Everything went the way that it was supposed to. It was kind of a unique situation that it was
a 221 and not an athlete, but the protocol (医疗方案) and the process is always the same, no matter who
the 222 is.”
Duquesne University 223 its medical staff that night, end while the applause was loud, nothing
could match the 224 the Wesolowski family said they felt. “How prepared they were to 225 the situ

and know exactly what to do,” said Wesolowski.
