When I was 13, I climbed my first high mountain near where I live in Surrey, British Columbia. I was overweight at the time and 1 when I reached the top. But I loved the 2 of overcoming something bigger than myself. Soon I’d climbed nearly 100 mountains.
Two years ago, on 30 December, my friend Mel Olsen and I drove to Oregon to climb 11,240-foot Mount Hood. That day, we started at 3 a.m. It was about -10℃. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and the 3 of us continued on together. Before the final push to the top, my face felt 4 it were burning. The other climbers decided to 5 , but Mel and I went ahead.

I placed my left foot on the ice step. I was 6 that I was safe, so I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a sound, and a whole piece of 7 broke off the step, right under my foot.
In a second, I fell backwards. I could hear Mel calling my 8 as I was rolling down the mountain. After a few 9 , I found I’d fallen 50 feet. Then I took a survey of my body to see 10 I was hurt, starting with my head, then my neck and arms.

I shouted for help, and immediately Mel and other climbers came to help me and called Mountain Rescue. Then I was taken to a 12 where I stayed for four days. The doctors told me it would be a year before my leg was well again, but I started climb ng again half a year later.
The fall has made me more careful. But the experience also made me 13 as a person. Since the 14 , I’ve climbed another 60 mountains. I’m not going to let one fall 15 me from doing my favorite thing.

I’d never seen him show such great 8 in class.

To help the little sunflowers get plenty of sunlight, we 10 moved them to the perfect place behind the library with William. All of us hoped the twenty sunflowers could 11 the best.
About a month into the summer vacation, I happened to drive by the school. There, behind the library, stood William’s sunflowers. I counted all 12 of them. They must have been at least 12 feet tall with faces to the sun.
Looking at the sunflowers, I realised we teachers should 13 what was planted in our children and tried our best to nurture (培育) it. This was also 14 I chose to be a teacher, I thought.

（2024·浙江金华·二模）How often do you let other people’s nonsense (不理智) change your mood (心情) Do you let a bad driver, an impolite waiter or a rude boss 1 your day
Sixteen years ago, I learned a lesson. I got into a taxi and we headed 2 the airport. We were driving in the right lane (车道) when 3 a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. At the very last moment our car stopped just 3 cm from the 4 of the black car!
Then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the black car, the man who almost caused a big 5 , looked around and started shouting at us.
My taxi driver just 6 and waved at the man. And I mean, the taxi driver was really 7 , so I said, “Why did you just do that This man 8 sent us to the hospital!” And this is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Rubbish Truck”. He said, “Many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around full of rubbish and 9 . They always look for a place to empty it and if you let 10 do that, they’ll dump (倾倒) it on you. So don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave and move on.”
So I started thinking 11 I let Rubbish Trucks run right over me and then I take their rubbish and spread it to other people.
Life’s too short to 12 in the morning with regrets. So 13 the people who treat you right. Ignore (忽视) the ones who don’t. 14 you follow “The Law of the Rubbish Truck”, you will take back control of your life. You make 15 for the good by letting go of the bad.

One day, a neighbor invited him to make some furniture. When arriving, he noticed the wood provided was a little 2 , so he said, “I won’t start right away.” He chose to let the wood dry for a month. He knew working with wet wood could cause 3 later on.
Around the same time, another furniture maker was also asked for a 4 job by a different family. Unlike my grandfather, he 5 working right away. As a result, the neighbor started doubting my grandfather, thinking he was trying to make more money by 6 the work. However, my grandfather waited 7 . He wanted the best quality for the furniture he was making.
A month later, the other furniture maker received his 8 and went back home. My grandfather began to 9 strong and beautiful furniture when the wood was completely dry. A few months passed and the furniture made by that maker began to break. The neighbor then regretted 10 my grandfather and said sorry to him. People came to understand his 11 and skill, spreading his fame far and wide.
Influenced by my grandfather, my father also follows the 12 of “I won’t”. He always provides the freshest food, which makes his restaurant very 13 in town. Once a trader wanted to sell some cheap but smelly seafood to my father, he said “No!” and stopped the 14 .

Shailyn Ryan is a 9-year-old girl from Massachusetts. That day, during lunch in the school dining hall, she noticed 1 unexpected happening. Her friend Keira held a hand to her own throat without a word. Her face rapidly turned red, then blue. Though Keira was unable to 2 , Shailyn knew she was choking (噎住).
Immediately, Shailyn jumped from her seat and stood behind Keira. She pushed Keira a bit forward, put her arms 3 Keira’s waist (腰部), then pressed as hard as she could.
It wasn’t long before a hot dog piece popped (突然弹出) up from Keira’s throat. Thanks to her 4 action, Keira was free to breathe again.

A few days later, Shailyn was given an award by the school master Jill Barnhardt. “We’re sure to 11 Shailyn for her actions in such situation,” Barnhardt said. “Shailyn took actions 12 . Her response to her friend’s suffering was effective. She is simply a 13 .”

When I was 13, I climbed my first high mountain near where I live in Surrey, British Columbia. I was overweight at the time and 1 when I reached the top. But I loved the 2 of overcoming something bigger than myself. Soon I’d climbed nearly 100 mountains.
Two years ago, on 30 December, my friend Mel Olsen and I drove to Oregon to climb 11,240-foot Mount Hood. That day, we started at 3 a.m. It was about -10℃. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and the 3 of us continued on together. Before the final push to the top, my face felt 4 it were burning. The other climbers decided to 5 , but Mel and I went ahead.
As we went higher, it became more difficult to climb on. At around 9 a.m., we reached an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. I was 6 that I was safe, so I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a sound, and a whole piece of 7 broke off the step, right under my foot.
In a second, I fell backwards. I could hear Mel calling my 8 as I was rolling down the mountain. After a few 9 , I found I’d fallen 50 feet. Then I took a survey of my body to see 10 I was hurt, starting with my head, then my neck and arms. For the most part, I was fine, except that I was suffering from a huge pain in my left 11 and couldn’t move.
I shouted for help, and immediately Mel and other climbers came to help me and called Mountain Rescue. Then I was taken to a 12 where I stayed for four days. The doctors told me it would be a year before my leg was well again, but I started climb ng again half a year later.
The fall has made me more careful. But the experience also made me 13 as a person. Since the 14 , I’ve climbed another 60 mountains. I’m not going to let one fall 15 me from doing my favorite thing.

“Hey! Ms. Woodall!” I was at the backyard of my house when I heard a voice call out my name. I turned around and saw William, one of my 1 , who loved plants and always smiled.
It was true. William was a joy in my class. When other students were having trouble understanding the lessons, he always cheered them up and brought them 2 moments. However, because of his poor grades, I couldn’t help 3 . I kept wondering if William could pass the exams because he didn’t make any progress in study.
Things didn’t change 4 we started to study the life cycle of plants. As a class project, each child planted a sunflower. I did this every year with different results in different parts. At first, it was 5 for many of the students to plant the sunflowers. 6 , most kids had little patience for the growing part. They lost interest and forgot to 7 the sunflowers except William. I’d never seen him show such great 8 in class.
Every afternoon, William made sure all the sunflowers were watered. 9 even offered to care for them well during the summer holiday. To help the little sunflowers get plenty of sunlight, we 10 moved them to the perfect place behind the library with William. All of us hoped the twenty sunflowers could 11 the best.
About a month into the summer vacation, I happened to drive by the school. There, behind the library, stood William’s sunflowers. I counted all 12 of them. They must have been at least 12 feet tall with faces to the sun.
Looking at the sunflowers, I realised we teachers should 13 what was planted in our children and tried our best to nurture (培育) it. This was also 14 I chose to be a teacher, I thought. At that moment, I knew I didn’t have to worry about William. And I believed that one day he would bloom and shine 15 his sunflowers.
