I was in bad 1 . I lost my mother, living in a shabby house. One day, a gorgeous cat 2 from a nearby pet hospital. 3 in love, I took her home and gave her a name. Every night, Carla would curl up on my keyboard as I 4 to make ends meet. And then we would watch old films in silence. She added 5 to my life. And mostly, we shared hours doing nothing — the quiet time is like 6 when having the right company. Soon, a depressed me started to see daylight.

With a(n) 3 population, the “downsizing challenge” is one facing thousands of older Australians at the moment — a difficult decision that involves saying goodbye to a family home  that contains 4 in every room. For the Sydney couple they weren’t forced to 5 — there was no urgent health crisis or emergency. But instead of 6 for one, they made the choice to downsize into 7 living before circumstances took the decision away from them. “We knew we didn’t need the large 8 we had in our old house.

The flood of AI “art” shows a proportion of society is willing to 1 writers more than ever before. I sometimes 2 talk with my STEM major friends about how my major (creative writing) means I will live on the street after college. Certainly I don’t 3 becoming a “starving writer” — I’m lucky to be financially blessed. That said, I do feel 4 about what lies ahead. I love to write music criticism. But is this writing 5 ? Does my writing contribute value to society? Would its 6 be felt were I to turn away from writing and focus on coding or engineering?

The curious girl who loved painting was 2 by a woman who only cared about deadlines and chores. The turning point came during a Sunday cleaning. I 3 an old wooden box in the attic (阁楼). Inside were my old brushes and a half-finished landscape. A wave of 4 washed over me — I hadn’t held a brush in over a decade. That night, I couldn’t sleep; I felt 5 to reclaim that lost part of myself. However, it isn’t as easy as it sounds in my 40s.

The reality was a 2 of early mornings and physical labor I had never known. My grandfather handed me a pair of gloves on the first day. “We began with the fence,” he said. I 3 the task with my mind filled with complaints. The sun was 4 , and my muscles ached within hours. Blisters formed on my hands. I 5 wished to give up and go home. The turning point came one afternoon. After repairing a long section, I stepped back and saw a straight, sturdy and 6 line where there had been disorder. A surprising sense of 7 washed over me. I had built that. For the first time, I looked at the work not as punishment, but as creation. My attitude began to 8 . Weeks passed. I learned to care for the animals and 9 the vegetable patch. The work didn’t get easier, but I got 10 . I woke up without being called. The fatigue was still there, but it was now mixed with a strange satisfaction. I felt useful and capable. My grandfather, a man of few words, once nodded at my work and said, “ 11 .” That meant more than any trophy. When I returned to the city, I was 12 . The farm didn’t just teach me how to work; it taught me why we work. It showed me that real confidence doesn’t come from avoiding difficulty, but from 13 it.

Dawson Gunn posted a video of his two Labrador retrievers (寻回犬), Stink and Bink, with pieces of paper 1 to their backs. In the video, Gunn says in a voice-over: “We have ad 2 available. Stink is $20 per spot, Bink $15.” The caption reads, “Dm if interested.” To Gunn’s surprise, he received over a thousand 3 “I can’t even scroll (滚屏) to see them all,” Gunn told The Washington Post. Gunn’s account, Too Cute Labs, started as a creative outlet for the many videos of his dogs doing adorable things. Eventually, as Gunn’s 4 grew, so did the opportunities to make money. Some buyers are just 5 or small businesses. They share birthday wishes and shout-outs. Larger brands are also 6 the action. “Clearly, these dogs are 7 ,” said Laura Kaye of Booking.com , the first large brand to advertise on the dogs. “And we wanted to be a 8 of that.” “This is a fun service,” Gunn said, adding that people generally don’t 9 when their ads are destroyed by the dogs rolling over. 10 typical ads, Gunn’s advertisements feel organic, silly and a little unpredictable. For some companies, that approach feels just 11 . In a world where people are 12 marketed to, it is rare to find something that truly breaks through. These ads did not feel like content people wanted to 13 . They chose to engage with the ads, even knowing they were 14 . “One day, people may say they’re 15 of seeing ads on Labs,” Gunn said.

For 67-year-old Rita Ebel, life has been anything but 1 . More than thirty years ago, she 2 a car accident that left her with incomplete paralysis (瘫痪). Yet despite the challenge, Ebel, by thinking outside the box, has become a symbol of 3 from her wheelchair by using Lego bricks to build wheelchair ramps (斜坡). “I always try to find the good in a bad situation.” Like many wheelchair users, Ebel found her hometown 4 inaccessible. Shop owners often 5 that offering help at the door was enough, but for Ebel, relying on others was not a satisfying 6 . Instead of waiting for 7 , she, a woman of action, decided to create it herself. Ebel chose Lego bricks rather than 8 materials like wood or metal. Lego is lightweight, colorful, and easy to 9 together, which also makes the ramps visually striking, helping people with low 10 notice them more easily. Ebel’s first task was sourcing enough Lego bricks. She turned to social media for 11 . Soon, a supporter brought two large boxes of Lego, which were adequate for her first ramp. Since then, different varieties of Lego have 12 from families, schools, and even local kindergartens. Although her ramps do not fully meet Germany’s official accessibility 13 , local officials support her efforts, and they 14 that these ramps empower wheelchair users to enter shops independently. “There is always a way to make life a little 15 ,” she said. “Sometimes you just have to build it yourself.” 1.

Sometimes, he stops to water the trees or prune (修剪) the grass, determined to ensure every single tree reaches its full 1 . The 2 of this forest was once a dump (垃圾场). It was the man, Wang Yanming, who planted the trees many years ago, creating the shade visitors can now all enjoy on hot summer afternoons.

But the hut network is too vast for the government to 1 , so ordinary people are stepping in. Among them is Suzie Bell, who began hiking in 2010 and was 2 by the huts at first sight. “I was just blown away when I 3 a hut in the middle of nowhere. I 4 in it for next to nothing,” Bell recalled. She later learned there are around 950 huts across the country, most of which are 5 only on foot. Hikers are welcome to use most of them 6 . Bell wanted to give something back and 7 the Love Our Huts campaign. The 8 was started by an outdoor recreation advocacy group in 2024, and more than 300 people have signed up for it. “We really 9 our huts. They’re part of our cultural heritage,” said Bell. Sustaining the hut network is 10 due to its size and remoteness. Each summer, Bell and her husband 11 for five hours into the hills to wipe down beds, clean windows and pull out weeds.

Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 2 ? I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 3 children from different races and religions played and studied 4 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s 5 from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu — we just 6 our differences. We were nine when we became friends. But when I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I 7 touch with him. One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I 8 my destination. The driver acknowledged my 9 but did not move off. Instead, he looked 10 at me. “Raddar?” he said, using my childhood nickname (绰号). I was astonished at being so 11 addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two 12 we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 13 to describe. If we can allow our children to be 14 without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be 15 their side through thick and thin, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “we happy few, we band of brothers”. 1.

He explains that 4 is an unavoidable physical feeling. 5 , suffering comes from the thoughts we have about the pain we are experiencing-for example, “Why is this happening to me?” or “I’ll never feel good again.” These 6 are what cause suffering, and we can choose to 7 them. John O’Leary is the host of the Live Inspired Podcast. When he was just nine years old, John suffered 8 burns over his entire body and doctors told him that he had one percent chance of 9 . No one expected him to 10 . However, after dozens of surgeries and years of treatment and deep inner work, he is a fairly happy, 11 man with a beautiful family. He inspires others through his 12 as a motivational speaker, author, and life coach. He feels that what happened to him was his greatest 13 : the realization that, regardless of our personal and professional challenges, we can navigate and overcome to reveal a 14 vision. In John’s words, “You can’t always choose the path you walk in life, but you can always choose the 15 in which you walk.” 1. A. subscribe B. proceed C. respond D. express 2.

For years, his demanding schedule was a constant 1 caught in a tug-of-war between his patients and a mountain of paperwork. Every day was a 2 . He’d see up to 50 patients, then spend his evenings and weekends buried under medical notes and reports. “The exhausting routine 3 me of family time. When my daughter asked why I missed her school play again, I showed her the 4 pile of charts in my trunk.” Dr. Leong said. Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get any 5 , a new technology entered the picture — a digital assistant called an AI scribe. This “co-pilot” listens to doctor-patient 6 , instantly transcribes (记录) notes, drafts reports, and organizes documentation. Now Dr. Leong is no longer 7 to a keyboard, free to do what he does best: 8 with his patients. “It 9 my human intelligence for where it matters most,” he says. The 10 is transformative. Dr. Leong can see a patient and have a follow-up letter 11 by the time they reach reception. Over the last three months alone, the new tech has 12 over 250,000 specialist consultations in New Zealand and Australia. This is more than just a story about 13 ; it’s a solution that gives doctors back their time and passion for 14 .

With a minute and a half left in an NFL playoff game (全国橄榄球联盟季后赛) last season, the Baltimore Ravens scored a touchdown to 2 the Buffalo Bills’ lead to 27-25. Two more points would 3 the game. The Ravens quarterback 4 the ball to his teammate Mark Andrew, who was at the goal line. He caught it... and he dropped it. Thus, the whole season 5 and the Ravens lost the game. But even amid their triumph, some Bills fans felt 6 for Andrew who has Type 1 diabetes, a serious and lifelong disease. Two Bills fans set out to raise money for Breakthrough T1D, a 7 supporting diabetes research and advocacy. “Even though he was playing against us, we’ve got tremendous 8 for Andrew. There is something more important than the 9 itself,” Bills fans Ryan and Howard said. Their effort raised more than $146,000 from 4,000-plus donations, far exceeding the goal of $5,000. They never expected it to 10 like this. They were surprised at how quickly the contributions poured in. 11 , they were mostly from Bills’ fans. But as 12 spread, fans of the Ravens and other NFL teams joined in. After the game, Andrew expressed his deep dissatisfaction with his 13 at the decisive moment. Despite the negativity, he saw heartfelt love and encouragement, especially from those who 14 to the charity.

At that time, I was too busy chasing teenage dreams to ask why he still wore the same jacket he’d 1 since his twenties. I had 2 in his old clothes and was eager to fit in with my classmates, so I deliberately 3 joining him for his evening walks. Years later, during my first year of college, I called home during finals week. 4 by heavy study tasks, I complained about the hard schoolwork and the cold dormitory. My mother listened with 5 , then said softly, “Your father has been walking around the house with that old jacket of his, trying to 6 if he should send it to you. He says it’s warm.” I was greatly 7 that he should be willing to 8 his most valuable thing to add a little 9 to my life. Right at the moment, I remembered how he’d always given me the best of everything: the newest shoes, the fastest computer, the most comfortable bed. When the jacket arrived, I held it to my chest. It 10 of his usual smell and the warm sunshine. I wore it to my next 11 , and its familiar weight gave me courage. That night, I wrote him a short 12 : “Thank you for the jacket. It’s like having you with me.” His reply was 13 : “I’m glad it fits. Wear it well, my son.” Now, whenever I see that jacket, I don’t see worn edges or 14 denim. I see a father’s quiet love, a love that doesn’t need 15 , a love that travels across miles and warms my heart forever. 1. A. owned B. folded C. designed D. borrowed 2.

But I knew it was there. 2 , just beneath the surface. It could even be 3 me right now. Crocodiles are among the world’s most 4 hunters. Their eyes and noses are 5 high on their heads, while their whole body is just beneath the water surface. With explosive tail power and the ability to stay underwater for hours, their design has 6 unchanged for 95 million years. In short, they’re 7 built for the kill. As I continue to scan the water, I see 8 : a soft ripple. Then, just a few metres away, two eyes break the surface. The silent beast 9 me. I feel my heart racing. I take a few steps to the left; the crocodile silently follows. Then a few to the right; and again, it 10 me. I’m a dot on its radar.

After a moment, she picked up a thick 2 and turned to me with a 3 look. “How much is this one?” she asked. “Fifteen dollars,” I 4 with a smile. The girl looked down and started paging through the book. “I don’t have that much right now,” she said. I could tell she was 5 , but she didn’t put the book back. Instead, she walked to the counter with the novel in hand and laid it down. She asked 6 , “Could I pay for it in... installments (分期付款)?” I 7 , not quite sure how to respond. Most customers simply bought their books, but her determination was hard to 8 . “I suppose I could make an 9 ,” I said, after a moment’s hesitation. “How about five dollars today, and we’ll 10 the rest later?” The girl’s eyes lit up. “Thank you!” she said, then quickly 11 me five wrinkled bills.

I basically lived at the public library. The 2 , Mrs. Chen, noticed. She never 3 invasive questions. And she never made me feel like a burden. Deep down, I was always 4 about taking up her precious time and energy. She just made sure I always had a quiet place to sit and books to 5 . Sometimes she’d leave snacks on the table where I was sitting, just 6 . Like she left them there. One day she asked if I liked writing. I said yes. She started giving me 7 . Nice ones. She said the library was getting rid of old stock and asked if I 8 them. I learned years later that there was actually no old stock at all. She 9 those journals herself. Mrs. Chen gave me a 10 place when I had nowhere else to go. She saw a struggling kid and decided to help without making me feel like a 11 case. I’m in college now studying to be a teacher. I think about her constantly — about how much power we have to change a kid’s life just by 12 and caring. I wrote her a letter last year telling her how much she 13 to me. She wrote back and said she always knew I’d do something 14 . I’m going to be like her and to be the adult who 15 the struggling kids and does something about it. 1.

Suddenly, some acute discomfort swept over me, 1 a physical abnormality. It was a severe sudden 2 caused by an unexpected cardiovascular (心血管的) disorder, striking without warning and catching me 3 . It was a(n) 4 moment. My face ached sharply and my eyes almost squeezed shut in my car. Struggling to breathe, I feared 5 before caring for my son. I took my son and hurried into the nearby drugstore to buy some medicine, where clerks, Sam and Emily, quickly got 6 . They stayed rooted by my side as they found my 7 of illness, their calm behavior easing my panic. One comforted my frightened son, while the other 8 dialed emergency services to ensure the medical staff were 9 , coordinating every step to obtain precious time for my survival. “Don’t be afraid,” Sam told me, while waiting for the ambulance. “I think you came in at just the 10 time when there weren’t many people to serve,” he added. Their selfless response was more than luck — it was truly 11 . At that critical time, I kept the thought of my son in my mind, desperate to 12 and watch him grow up. Luckily, I recovered at last. Then I went to the drugstore to express my sincere 13 to Sam and Emily, who not only pulled me back from danger but also 14 to my son.

One day, a gorgeous cat 2 from a nearby pet hospital. 3 in love, I took her home and gave her a name. Every night, Carla would curl up on my keyboard as I 4 to make ends meet. And then we would watch old films in silence. She added 5 to my life. And mostly, we shared hours doing nothing — the quiet time is like 6 when having the right company. Soon, a depressed me started to see daylight. Then came the fateful day she literally 7 my life. That was a dawn when Carla jumped onto my bed, rubbed my face aggressively and 8 “meows”. A little 9 at first, I dismissed her behavior as mere naughtiness — until her 10 jolted me awake. Rushing downstairs, I froze in horror: thick smoke billowed (喷涌) from the ceiling, and tongues of flame were 11 from a ceiling panel. I quickly dialed 911. A firefighter later informed me that hadn’t Carla given me that warning, the fire would have torn through the building and 12 both the house and me to ashes. Months later, however, Carla 13 kidney disease and left me. That last night, she climbed in my lap and rubbed her hand on my face. It felt like a 14 of goodbye. I think she knew.

After the 2 , she checked her work email and saw a message from an insurance company marked “LAST DAY OF OPEN ENROLLMENT (注册)”. 3 set in. She knew the right health insurance would 4 the care she could afford during treatment, so she 5 connected with Alex Mackey, the benefits manager. Though they were only colleagues and not that close, Kline had no 6 but to share her diagnosis. Upon hearing the news, Mackey told her, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you’re enrolled in the right plan.” Mackey 7 her word. She enrolled Kline in a 8 plan, arranged a health 9 through the insurance company, and carefully 10 every medical bill. Mackey’s support went far beyond paperwork. She was 11 when Kline shaved her head and got fitted for a wig (假发). She prepared a care package filled with items useful for treatment days and sent 12 texts on chemotherapy (化疗) mornings. Through this experience, Kline came to understand the true meaning of 13 .

He made a point of being a 1 presence in the life of his stepdaughter, Brooke Johnson. At times when life threw screwballs at Johnson, McElroy was there to pick her up. During one 2 time, he left her a voicemail that said, “Everything’s gonna be fine. We’ll 3 it.” In 2024, McElroy 4 a fall that left him a quadriplegic. Three and a half weeks later, he died of those injuries. But before that, while being by his bedside, Johnson 5 with McElroy her dream of becoming the 6 woman to skateboard across the country. He wanted to be part of it, and they planned that she would 7 him in his wheelchair across the finish line. She wasn’t sure she could pull it off, but McElroy had 8 in her. “I was like, ‘Roger, it’s a big country’. And he was like, ‘Well, you can do it’,” Johnson told Good Morning America. After McElroy’s 9 Johnson, then 29, chose to 10 him by becoming the first woman to skateboard across the country. Along the way, she would raise money for Wings for Life, a non-profit that supports research into spinal cord injuries. 11 by a video crew, and wearing a locket around her neck that held McElroy’s ashes, she began her journey last April at California’s Santa Monica beach. 12 : Virginia Beach, 3,266 miles away. Averaging 30 to 50 miles a day, Johnson’s 13 across America took her up and down mountains, past wheat fields and through cities, in rain and blistering heat. Through it all, Roger McElroy was riding with her: Everything’s gonna be fine. We’ll get through it. On Aug.15, after 119 days, Johnson arrived at the Atlantic Ocean. No one was more 14 than Johnson that she had completed what she’d started, while raising $50,000 for Wings for Life. She told ABC News, “Roger left me 15 , and for that I thank him every day.” 1.

The desks are basic, the books are scarce, and the room is 1 beyond capacity — but something 2 is happening here. Andrew, a 38-year-old teacher, has 3 his under-resourced and overcrowded classroom into a place where learning flourishes. Students in Andrew’s class travel 5 to 15 kilometers each way to attend his lessons. The daily 4 reflect the broader barriers to 5 in Zambia, where over 800,000 primary school-aged children are out of school. Andrew 6 to let these barriers limit the potential of the determined young learners. Before any additional support arrived, he was already taking the 7 to make learning meaningful. Drawing from local culture, he introduced traditional 8 — like Nsolo, Ichienga, and skipping rope — to help children understand numbers and develop foundational skills in 9 , playful ways. At the same time, he 10 support from the school administration and fellow teachers, even using his own funds to obtain essential teaching materials. 11 to developing a sense of professionalism and 12 among teachers, Andrew and his colleagues 13 their resources to print T-shirts bearing “Catch-Up Teacher”.

At first, I 2 to understand his dedication to something that, in my view, served no 3 purpose. It was just a tree to me, but to him, it was a living record of 4 . Every evening, I read the local newspaper to Grandpa. One day, I found a heated debate: the town council 5 to cut down the oak to make way for a new parking lot. They 6 it was for progress. My initial 7 was logical: a parking lot would be more useful. But then, I saw deep sadness in my grandpa’s eyes. He began sharing the 8 of the tree — how generations had gathered under its branches for celebrations and comfort. He spoke of its 9 as a strong link that joined people through the years. For the first time, I saw that his passion was not just about the past, but about real value that I had 10 . So I researched town laws, 11 alternative plans that would save the tree, and used data to convince the council that progress didn’t mean 12 the past. I tried to save the tree, for the 13 meaning it held in my grandpa’s heart. In the end, we saved the oak. That summer taught me that passion is not just about building the 14 ; it is equally about preserving the essential. Progress and respect for the past can grow 15 — just like the deep roots and strong branches of that old tree. 1. A. copy B. development C. opposite D. reflection 2.

As they chatted 1 in the cozy living room, swapping ambition and frustration stories, the professor 2 himself and went to the kitchen. Soon, he returned with a steaming pot of coffee and a tray of various cups. The cups were of all 3 — porcelain, glass, clay; some plain and dull, some 4 and exquisitely carved; a few inlaid with sparkling crystals. “Help yourselves to the coffee,” the professor said, eyes twinkling with purpose. The students 5 and picked up the tray, eager to seize the finest cups, each striving for one that 6 the rest. Plain, simple ones were left 7 on the tray edge, unworthy of notice. With cups filling with coffee in hand, the professor leaned back and spoke. “I’ve observed something telling,” he said, glancing at their chosen cups. “You all picked out the eye-catching cups, 8 the ordinary ones. But the cup itself adds no 9 to the coffee. You were so fixed on the container that you barely noticed the coffee’s rich fragrance.” The students fell silent, 10 by his words. The professor continued, “Life is coffee; jobs, wealth and status are 11 . They are tools to 12 life, but cannot alter its 13 . Fixing gaze on ‘cups’ makes you 14 missing life’s genuine joy — the quiet fulfillment that 15 our souls.” He paused, and then added softly, “The happiest don’t have the best of everything. They simply make the best of what they have.” The students nodded, grasping the lesson hidden in a cup of coffee. 1. A. enthusiastically B. coldly C. cautiously D. awfully 2.
