I had always thought of my neighborhood as a peaceful and friendly place. However, all that changed when
Mr. Thompson moved in next door. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to have a rather strange lifestyle.
At first, I didn’t pay much attention to him. But one day, I noticed that his car was always parked in a way
that blocked part of my driveway. It was really inconvenient, especially when I was in a hurry to go to work or pick
up my kids from school. I politely asked him to be more careful with his parking, but he just gave me a cold look
and said he would do so as he was pleased. This made me get cross with him.
As time went by, more problems arose. Mr. Thompson had a big dog that barked loudly day and night. I
could barely have a sound sleep, and my kids were also disturbed by the noise. I tried to talk to him about the dog,
but he refused to listen. He even accused me of being too sensitive.
One evening, I came home from a long-day work, extremely worn out. Just as I was about to park my car, I
found that Mr. Thompson’s car was once again blocking my driveway. I was so frustrated that I knocked on his
door forcefully. After seemed a long time, the door opened. There stood Mr. Thompson with an indifferent look on
his face. Words were exchanged, and both of us were angry. We had a heated argument. He even slammed the door
shut right in front of me. After that, we didn’t talk to each other for weeks. My once proud and friendly
neighborhood ties are gone.
One day, as I was mowing the lawn（修剪草坪）in my garden, I saw Mr. Thompson struggling to carry a
heavy box along his driveway.

Emily, 39 years old, is a runway model, a disability-rights activist and a freelance writer whose work has
been featured in The New York Times and Glamour.
From her early childhood, Emily was interested in. fashion, fascinated by beautiful clothes and skirts.
Unfortunately, fashion didn’t show much interest in her. Due to a genetic bone and muscle disorder, she was less
than 1. 21 meters tall and couldn’t walk. To treat her disease, she underwent seven surgeries before the age of 17.
Fortunately, she got better and could even walk a short distance.
As Emily grew older, her passion for fashion only intensified. Every time she saw models shining on the
runway on TV, an envious glimmer would flash across her face. Among those models, she particularly admired a
model named Grace, who was not only a leader in the fashion world but also frequently encouraged people to show
concern for the disabled.
One day, when Emily was doing rehabilitation training in the park, she came across a special community
fashion show. One particular model left a deep impression on Emily. The model was dressed in a graphic T-shirt,
tight pants and an oversize vest with a flurry fur coat. When Emily’s eyes swept over the model’s arms, she was
shocked to find that both of the model’s sleeves were empty. However, her smile was so bright and brilliant. This
sight deeply touched Emily.
From that day on, Emily worked even harder for her dream. She watched every fashion show of Grace
online, carefully learned her stylish outfits and even posted selfies on Twitter every day, hoping to draw public
attention towards the fashion industry for individuals with disabilities. In addition, she followed the “Dream
Runway” show on Twitter, which her idol Grace often attended. Driven by her passion, she even mustered up the
courage to send an email to the “Dream Runway” show, applying to be one of the 24 models for their fall fashion
show. Then, one day, a long-awaited reply arrived from the show, extending a warm invitation for her to step onto
the runway as a model.

The Summer That Changed Me
I was born with a fear of water. At twelve, while classmate splashed joy fully in the pool, I sat shivering on
the edge, my toes barely touching the surface. “It’s like liquid darkness,” I told my mother, imagining invisible
hands dragging me down. My parents tried swimming lessons, but progress was painfully slow. The instructor’s
frustrated sighs still echoed in my memories. “Maybe water just isn’t for everyone,” he finally said.
Everything changed when Coach Zhang entered my life. With her silver whistle and endless patience, she
approached teaching differently. “Fear is natural,” he said during our first session. “But courage is a choice.” We
started with blowing bubbled, progressed to floating while singing nursery rhymes, and eventually played
underwater treasure hunts with rubber rings, She celebrated every small victory, even when I managed to hold my
breath underwater for three seconds.
The turning point came in July. Coach Zhang blindfolded me during practice. “Listen to the water’s song,”
she instructed as darkness enveloped me. My throat tightened, but her steady voice anchored me: “Let it lift you,
not fight you.” Suddenly, the terrifying emptiness became a supportive embrace. That day, I swam ten meters
unaided. Coach Zhang’s applause sounded louder than the pool’s filtration (过滤) system.
“By summer’s end, I earned my Level 2 swimming certificate. The real test came during our beach
graduation. As others moved slowly in the shallow water, I walked into the foamy surf. Saltwater stung my nostrils
(鼻孔) as I dove through an incoming wave, emerging breathless but triumphant. My father’s camera captured
mother wiping happy tears. The ocean, once my nightmare, now felt like an old friend.
Now at sixteen, I volunteer at the community pool. That summer taught me more than swimming — it
revealed how facing fears can reshape destinies. Coach Zhang’s words stay with me: “What we conquer in water
prepares us for life’s storms.”

When I was 10 years old, I loved skating and had an Olympic dream. The speed, the biting cold, and the feel
of the wind on my face all fascinated me deeply. So my dad signed me up in a skating center. From then on, I woke
up at 5:30 every morning, rain or shine, and practiced skating with coach Caleb.
Today was the day I was going to compete in a freestyle skating program for the first time in three years.
Today was the day I was not skating to my coach or dad, but to the judges. I skated to the center ice: “You’ve got
this, Jessie;” Daddy yelled from the audience. My friends held up crossed fingers and blew me kisses.
I can do this! I thought as the music was on. What I felt was the power of certainty with my sparkly
competition dress. I started my program with a step forward and a smile, followed by a beautiful combination spin
(旋转). The butterflies in my stomach were back, working against me, making me feel so nervous.
Then came the jump, a jump I had been doing since I was ten years old! It didn’t work out the way I had
hoped. I fell, and I kept falling. By the time I was done, my dress was wet and I was seven seconds behind my
music, so I finished skating to silence. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life.
The silence continued as I skated toward the exit. Everyone in the arena (场地) was looking at me but trying
not to look at me. What am I doing here? I thought. Your Olympic dream has come to an end. As I walked upstairs
to join my dad. I heard the oohs and aahs of the audience. I wanted to go home, but Dad said it’s poor
sportsmanship to leave before the results were posted. So, we waited. Sure enough, not only did I not win a medal,
I ranked last.

My dog, Molly, ran after me as I walked to my car that fall morning. I had had her only a couple of weeks,
but we had become nearly inseparable. I’d gone through heart surgery a few months back. I figured taking care of a
dog would keep me active. So I went to the local animal-rescue center. The little dog shaking slightly in a cage
caught my eye right away. I could tell she longed to be picked up and hugged.
I went to talk to the shelter worker. “She just came in,” the woman told me. “Her name is Molly.” The
worker opened Molly’s cage and let me pick her up. I stroked her silky fur and she stopped shaking. I filled out the
paperwork and took Molly home.
That fall morning last year I decided to take Molly with me for shopping. I opened the door. “Come on,
Molly. Let’s go.” She jumped into the car and settled down on the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started
the car.
We live in a remote area up in the hills outside San Rafael, California. You have to drive up the mountain in
low gear (低速挡) to get to our driveway, which is barely wide enough for one car and ends at a steep valley.
I twisted around and backed up slowly. Just then, a flash of sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to shield
my eyes. “Oh, no! The edge!” I shouted. The car slipped in the soft soil, and rolled. I fell inside the car as it turned
over down the valley. The car rolled faster. Four, five, six rolls until I heard a horrible crunch. We landed upside
down. I looked over to find Molly. She was still in the passenger seat and, thankfully, she was okay.
“Sorry, girl,” I gasped. Something was wrong with my left leg. I grabbed my cell phone but just as I had
feared, I couldn’t get a signal. Now what? There was a hole in the driver’s side rear window. It was small, but just
maybe…

Me work in a jewelry store? It was hard to imagine. However, I was a teenager who needed money and the
store had a help—wanted sign in the window. They hired me, despite my lack of experience.
My lack of interest in jewelry was reflected in my sales. After two weeks, George, my boss, brought out the
sales figures. I was dead last.
Embarrassed, I approached him for advice. George leaned forward, his voice low but confident, “The key to
success,” he began, “is to spot the customers likely to spend more and buy the pricier items.”
I listened attentively.
He continued, “Once you’ve got them, make it quick. Show them a few high-end pieces, get their decision,
and close the deal. Time is money, and you don’t want to waste it on customers who are just browsing (逛商店).”
I frowned, “I thought our job was to help customers find the perfect gift, something meaningful for their
loved ones.”
George chuckled (轻笑), a knowing smile playing on his lips. “This is business.”
Business? Perhaps, the art of selling was truly about speed and efficiency, rather than connection and care. In
the next few days, George tried hard to show me how to do business in the “right” way.
Then another weekend came. Many customers rushed into the store, desperate to find the perfect gift for
their loved ones. Of course, we had just what they wanted, showing them the more expensive items and only
showing lower-priced ones if they asked.
About a half-hour before closing, a young girl came into the store with a worried look. She wore an old
jacket and looked quite ordinary.
“I want a gift for my best friend,” she said. “It has to be something very special.”
My next question was how much money she had to spend.
“Six dollars.”
Six dollars! I glanced at George, who shook his head slightly, showing me clearly that this girl wasn’t the
right “guest” and that I should get rid of her as soon as possible.

A Quiet Qingming in the Jordan Household
The Jordans’ living room felt like a museum of unfinished moments. Rain tapped softly against the windows,
casting a silvery gloom over the cramped space. Ten-year-old Lily lay sprawled on the carpet, her crayons
screeching across paper as she drew jagged kites and lopsided tombstones. Beside her, six-year-old Max shredded
sheets of printer paper into confetti, tossing the fragments into the air like ceremonial ghost money. Their parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, sat at opposite ends of the sagging sofa, their faces illuminated by the cold glow of their
phones. A forgotten speaker played a generic “spring renewal” soundtrack — birdsong and trickling water — that
only deepened the sense of artificiality.
Qingming Festival had always been a day of crisp rituals for the Jordans. In years past, they would wake
early, pack chrysanthemums and oranges into woven baskets, and drive to the hillside cemetery where Mrs.
Jordan’s grandparents rested. The children would chase each other among the headstones, their laughter mingling
with the scent of burning incense. After tidying the graves, they’d picnic under cherry blossom trees, their fingers
sticky with Qingtuan, the emerald-green rice dumplings filled with sweet bean paste. But this year, the forecast had
warned of thunderstorms, and Mrs. Jordan, citing “practicality,” canceled the trip. “We’ll light virtual candles on
the family app,” she’d said, though no one had bothered to log in.
Now, the absence of tradition hung heavier than the rain clouds. Lily glanced at her mother, who was
engrossed in a live stream of a Kyoto cherry blossom festival. “Mom,” she ventured, holding up her drawing — a
stick-figure family standing beside a tombstone she’d colored neon pink. “Does Great-Grandma like pink?”
“Hmm? Sure, sweetie,” Mrs. Jordan replied, her thumb flicking upward in a reflexive like.
Mr. Jordan, meanwhile, scrolled through an article titled “The Digitization of Grief: How Modern Families
Honor Ancestors.” He paused at a photo of a high-tech columbarium in Singapore, where QR codes replaced
headstones. A notification buzzed — a reminder from his fitness app:“1,000 steps to daily goal!” He stood abruptly.
“Maybe we should... take a walk?”
Max lobbed a paper ball at the ceiling. “Boring.”
The room lapsed back into silence, broken only by the crinkle of paper and the tinny laughter from Mrs.
Jordan’s video. Outside, the rain thickened, blurring the world into a watercolor wash. Lily’s crayon snapped. “This
is the worst Qingming ever,” she announced, hurling the broken stub across the room. It struck the family photo on
the mantel — a snapshot from last year’s grave visit, their smiles bright against the misty hills.
The clatter jolted Mrs. Jordan. She stared at the photo, then at her children — Lily scowling, Max now
dismantling a sofa cushion. Guilt prickled her throat. Closing her phone, she knelt beside Lily.

Professor Smith came from America to Nigari and he liked to see and understand the people there. One day,
Smith stood by the window, looking at the crowd in the street below and saw a boy, a street sweeper, doing his job.
Smith was, somehow, attracted by him. The boy, around 13, was in neat uniform and swept the street with great
care. The broom was in his hands; if not, Smith would think that he was one of his students.
“Why is he here sweeping the street?” The question pushed him to approach the boy and say, “May I know
your name?” Seeing Smith standing before him, the boy wore a little confusion in his eyes and replied slowly, “Sir!
Rex.” Rex had orderly black and well-combed hair and looked smart, friendly and intelligent. William saw a bright
future for Rex ahead. He politely asked something about Rex’ s family, then he knew that Rex’ s father, and
grandfather, were both sweepers. “Sir, this is the bread and butter giver for my family,” Rex said, neither
embarrassed nor shamed by the question.
Knowing the roots of education may be bitter, but the fruits it gives are very sweet, Smith tried to persuade
Rex to receive more education. However, Rex politely refused, “I cannot leave this work. This is the means of
living for us.”
“I know. But your life should be more than this. What if there is an opportunity right now that might change
your life?” he asked, looking into Rex’ s eyes sharply. “What if today is that opportunity?”
“I would certainly try my best for it and do whatever I can to make myself a better person,” Rex replied,
slowly but firmly, with a sparkle in his eyes.
Smith was satisfied with what Rex said. He decided to go on his mission to help this young boy start a new
journey. He first talked to Rex’s family, stressing the importance of education and the potential it held for Rex’ s
future. Then he arranged to help Rex with some courses after Rex finished his sweeping duties each day.

In the quiet town of Willow Creek, lived a young woman named Sarah. Sarah was an artist, known for her
paintings of landscapes and animals, but beneath her calm appearance, she struggled with anxiety and depression.
The pressures of her job and the isolation she often felt had a negative impact on her mental health, and she spent
many days feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from the world around her.
One afternoon, as Sarah was leaving the local art gallery, she noticed a small, scruffy dog sitting by the door.
It looked lost, hungry, and a little scared. Sarah’s heart softened as she approached the dog, offering it a piece of her
sandwich. The dog wagged its tail and sniffed at the food, but instead of eating, it sat down next to her, as if asking
for something more. Feeling an instinctive (直觉的)pull, Sarah decided to take the dog home with her, naming it
Sunny.
Over the next few weeks, Sunny became Sarah’s constant companion. Every morning, he would greet her
with an excited bark and a wagging tail. Sarah soon discovered that Sunny was not just a pet, but a therapy dog.
Whenever she felt her anxiety starting to set in, Sunny would push her hand with his nose or curl up beside her,
offering her the comfort of his presence. His gentle behavior and unconditional love helped Sarah feel less alone,
and for the first time in months, she began to feel like she had a purpose.
One evening, Sarah decided to take Sunny for a walk through the woods near a popular campsite. The sun
was setting, and the air was fresh and cool. As they walked deeper into the forest, Sarah’s mind wandered to the
dark thoughts she had been battling for so long. Suddenly, Sunny stopped in his tracks and started barking
furiously, looking alertly at a thick patch of bushes. Sarah felt a surge of panic, wondering what had startled ( 惊
吓)him. But before she could react, Sunny dashed toward the bushes, pulling Sarah along with him.

When things went wrong, Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby comforted him by saying it would still taste good.
And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy, but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend
David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said that he would do better next time. And, sure enough, David
studied hard and got 100 percent the next week. When his teacher, Mr D, bumped into a bookstand in the library,
Ittleby told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped
pick up the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone, that is, except Hazel. Hazel
was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.”
Hazel stared at him. “I doubt it.” Ittleby didn’t know what to do. He’d never met anyone like Hazel.
When Mr D said they’d have recess inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.”
“A silver lining?” Hazel shook her head. “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff?” Ittleby felt
as if the wind had been knocked out of him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt
darker.
“Bad things come in threes,” said Hazel. No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be?
The class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She tripped, and the paint went flying. There was blue on
the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing. Ittleby didn’t know what to
say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Ittleby’s painting. “It’s beautiful. I especially like the grassland.” She said.

Two tickets to the big Saturday basketball game lay in Dad’s outstretched hand. Three pairs of eyes, full of
expectation, were fixed on them. Marcus, the oldest, voiced the question running through everyone’s mind, “Only
two tickets? But, Dad, which of us gets to go with you?” Dad scratched his head and said, “I guess I’ll have to
figure out a fair way of choosing between the three of you by tomorrow morning. I’ll have to decide who deserves
it most.”
The next morning, Marcus hurried into the kitchen. “Where’s Dad?” he asked as he reached for a glass of
milk. “He and Mom went to pick up some books from the library,” Caleb, our youngest brother, replied, digging
into his corn. “And he said we should all get started on our Saturday household chores (家务) as soon as we finish
breakfast,” I added. “Chores! He’s got to be kidding,” Marcus said, putting down his glass. “How can we
concentrate on chores when the big game is only eleven hours away?”
“I’m going for the morning newspaper,” Marcus announced. “There’s probably a preview of tonight’s game
in the sports section.” “Wait for me!” Caleb added and dashed after his brother. The back door closed with a bang
as the two boys hurried down the driveway. I looked at the breakfast table: tiny milk spots, bits of corn, and a small
mass of blueberry jam. “It looks like Saturday morning chores start right here,” I thought to myself as I pushed my
chair away from the table.
A few minutes later, as I was doing the chores, I heard the basketball bouncing off the driveway. I glanced
out of the kitchen window and saw Marcus practicing shooting while Caleb cheered him on. Frustrated, I knocked
on the window three times. “Okay, Jill, we’re coming in to help. Just one more minute,” Marcus said. “Yeah, just
one more minute,” Caleb repeated. I carried the rubbish bag out to the dustbin. As I opened the cover, a flash of
white caught my attention. A white envelope was taped to the inside of it.

I was standing in the backyard, staring at the old tree that had stood there for as long as I could remember. It
was a towering oak(橡树), its branches stretching out like arms welcoming the world. My grandfather had planted
it when he was just a young man, and now it was a symbol of strength and stability in our family.
As a child, I would often climb to the top of the tree, feeling a sense of adventure and freedom. I would sit on
one of the higher branches, my legs swinging over the edge, and watch the world below me. From up there,
everything seemed small and manageable. The worries and stresses of everyday life faded away, replaced by a
sense of peace.
My grandfather was always there to encourage me, teaching me the importance of nature and the lessons it
could teach us. He would tell me stories about how the tree had weathered storms and strong winds, yet always
stood tall and proud. “Just like this tree,” he would say, you need to be strong and resilient(适应力强的) in the face
of adversity.”
As the years went by, I grew older and my interests changed. I spent less time in the backyard and more time
on my studies and social life. The old tree was still there, but I rarely noticed it anymore. It became just another part
of the background, something I took for granted.
One summer, a severe storm swept through our town. The wind blew hard and the rain poured down heavily.
When the storm finally passed, I went outside to survey the damage. To my horror, the old oak tree had been struck
by lightning and was split in two parts. It lay on the ground, a fallen giant, its once strong branches now broken and
scattered.
I stood there, tears streaming down my face, feeling a deep sense of loss. The tree that had been a part of my
life for so long was gone. It was as if a piece of my childhood had been torn away.

It was a warm summer evening. The gentle wind blew softly, carrying with it the fragrance of fresh flowers
and the earthy scent of the grass. Jack and his friends were engaged in an exciting basketball game in the park.
Their laughter and shouts filled the air as they skillfully passed the ball around, their youthful energy on full
display. The sun, a huge orange ball, was slowly starting to set, painting the sky with beautiful colors. As the light
began to fade, they decided it was time to call it a day and head home.
Jack said goodbye to his friends and started walking back by himself. The path was lined with trees, casting
long shadows in the dimming light. All of a sudden, as he passed by a bush, he heard a strange noise. It was a faint
sound that seemed out of place in the otherwise peaceful evening. He stopped immediately, listening more closely.
It was a soft, pitiful crying, like that of a small, frightened animal. It sounded like something was in trouble, and
Jack’s heart skipped a beat. Curiosity and concern grew within him. He knew he had to find out what was making
that noise and whether he could offer any help. With careful steps, he made his way towards the bush, his eyes
fixed on the spot from which the sound was coming.
He slowly walked towards the bush and saw behind it. There he saw a small red squirrel( 松鼠) with its paw
caught in a trap. The poor little thing was shaking, its eyes filled with fear and pain. Jack’s heart went out to the
helpless creature. He knelt down beside it, speaking in a soft voice to calm it. He carefully examined the trap,
realizing it was a device that had tightly clamped onto the squirrel’s paw. Jack knew he had to act quickly but
carefully to avoid causing further injury. His mind raced to come up with a solution to free the red squirrel.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the dusty attic (阁楼) of my childhood home, hidden in a forgotten corner, sat an old wooden box. Its
surface was worn smooth with age, and the metal lock showed signs of rust (铁锈).
Drawn to it as a child, I would run my fingers over it, wondering what secrets it might hold. My grandmother
always told me it was special, but she never opened it. For years, it remained a mystery, its contents — perhaps
faded photographs, delicate jewelry — left to my imagination. Though curiosity burned, I never tried to open it,
assuming that it was meant to be unlocked at the right time.
As I grew older, life pulled me away. Schoolwork, friendships, and the uncertainty of the future consumed me.
By my final year of high school, the box lay buried beneath old blankets and boxes, forgotten.
That year was a storm of emotions. My parents often spoke about my future, their voices filled with both hope
and expectation. My mother especially wanted me to stay close to home. She spoke of family, of security, of the
importance of being near the people who loved me. But I dreamed of something different. I longed for new places,
new experiences, a world beyond the familiar streets I had known all my life. The tension built slowly, each
conversation turning into a debate, each disagreement growing sharper. She didn’t understand why I wanted to
leave, and I couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t support me. The arguments grew more frequent, words spoken
in frustration hanging in the air long after they were said.
One evening, after another quarrel, I fled to the attic. My hands trembling, I wiped away tears, my gaze
landing on the box. Without thinking, I opened it. Inside, letters were neatly piled up. Dozens of them lay before
me, some yellowed with time, others more recent, all written in my grandmother’s familiar handwriting. My breath
caught in my throat as I picked up the one on top.
