The autumn leaves crunched under Mia’s boots as she hurried through Maple Park, the golden afternoon light filtering through the oak trees. She tightened her grip on the paper bag holding Lucy’s favourite blueberry muffins from Dan’s Bakery. It was her birthday, but she still remembered the argument yesterday.

“Hey,” Mia said, placing the muffins between them. “I brought peace offerings.”
Lucy eyed the bag but didn’t smile. “You know what made m 18 It’s not that you missed the meeting. It’s that you didn’t even call or text.”
A gust of wind sent orange leaves swirling around them. Mia 19 her miss. “I was so busy with my sister’s fever that my phone had been unnoticed.”
“You’re right,” she added, watching a mother duck herd her ducklings toward the water. “I should have found a way to 20 you. I was just... I am so sorry.”
Lucy sighed, breaking a muffin in half. The smell of warm blueberries mixed with the earthy scent of fallen leaves. “I overreacted too. My dad’s lost his job, and I’ve been 21 over everything lately.”
Mia’s eyes widened. “Why didn’t you tell me ”
“Same 22 you didn’t tell me about your sister, I guess,” Lucy said, “We were always, you know, laughing around. I didn’t want to worry you.”
At that moment, the church bells from St. Mary’s across the park began chiming 4 PM. Mia held up the remaining muffin toward Lucy. “Happy Birthday. And from now on, shall we promise to share the 23 stuff too ”

It was a cold winter evening in December, the kind where frost painted the windows and the fireplace was too weak to keep the room warm. I was twelve at the time, and my father, a quiet man who loved writing, had worked on his book for months. His study was messy, filled with coffee cups and paper—proof of his hard work. That evening, the mailman brought a thick envelope. My younger sister Lily, always eager to check the mail, grabbed it and 15 it to Dad with excitement.
Dad looked at the sender’s name—a famous publishing company—and sighed. Without saying anything, he dropped the envelope onto a shelf near his desk.
“Dad, won’t you open it ” Lily asked, sounding confused.
“It’s probably just another time to be 16 ,” he replied quietly, staring at his computer screen. His voice was 17 , but I saw his hands shake slightly.
The room fell into a heavy 18 , except for the sound of typing. Lily, however, didn’t give up. She pulled a chair to the shelf, climbed up, and grabbed the envelope. With her small hands, she opened it. “Look! It’s from the 19 !” she shouted, holding the letter high.
Dad 20 typing. Slowly, he took the letter and read, “We are happy to tell you that your book has been chosen for publication...” His voice broke as he held the paper tightly.
Lily laughed and jumped around. “I knew they’d like it!” Her eyes shone with pride, as if she’d uncovered a hidden treasure.
Dad’s face changed—first surprise, then hope, and finally relief. He hugged Lily tightly. “Thank you,” he whispered, “for not giving up on me.”
Years later, whenever Dad feels uncertain about sending his work, he remembers Lily’s words, 21 him to try. Now, I’ve started writing too—short stories in notebooks, poems on paper. When I doubt myself, Dad places a hand on my shoulder and says, “Just send it. What matters is having the 22 to try.”
Last month, I received my first refusal letter. For a moment, my heart sank. But Lily ran into my room, grabbed the letter, and said, “Next time, they’ll say 23 ! Want to bet a cookie “Her smile made me laugh.
This journey taught me that success isn’t just about skill—it’s about having someone who 24 supports you, even when things seem hard. And sometimes, that someone is a little sister who never stops believing.

In 1640, a man was seriously ill. He had to end the last 15 of his life. On his way back to his hometown Jiangyin, people asked him, “You spent your whole life on the road. Do you 16 it ”
“I walked through many fantastic places in China,” he replied. “People say I’m as 17 as Zhang Qian and Xuanzang. So I have no regrets at all.” This man was Xu Xiake, the greatest traveller in 18 history.
From an early age, Xu dreamed of visiting China’s seas and mountains. But at the time, it was very 19 to travel far.

Those didn’t stop him, however. At 22, he 21 his life’s journey. He travelled for about 30 years, and achieved his dream. He climbed high mountains like Huangshan and Wuyishan. These mountains were very beautiful with amazing views. He also explored deep caves and followed long rivers. Xu also made many geographical discoveries during his journey. Once, he visited Mount Huangshan. People then thought Tiandu Peak was 22 than Lianhua Peak. To find out the truth, Xu climbed both peaks. He 23 that Lianhua Peak gave a wider view, so it must be higher. He was right!
“Exploring the 24 ” is the best description of Xu’s life. While travelling, he recorded his travel experiences in his diary. His diary, Xu Xiake’s Travel Notes, tells us a lot about the places he visited, like what the land was like, what kinds of plants grew there, and how the local people lived. They are an important part of the history in China. Thanks to this book, we can learn about China almost 400 years ago.

In the course of life, the first step of the lead is likely to mean the final victory, so the success and failure or 35 and loss of your life may lie in whether you dare to show yourself or not.
As a student, I was most 36 to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the professor asked a question, I always 37 my head, for fear that the professor saw me.
In a foreign language class, an expert gave a speech. The speaker always wanted someone to be in 38 with him, so he asked how many students in the classroom learned Economics, but no one replied. The expert said with a smile, “let me tell you a story first.”
“When I came to the United States to study, there are often speeches delivered in the university. Each time they invite an expert from Wall Street to make a speech.”
“ 39 the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting phenomenon (现象). The students always took a cardboard, wrote their names with the most eye-catching color, and then placed it on the seat. 40 , when the speaker needed the reply, he could see and call a listener’s name 41 .”
“I couldn’t understand why they did that, so I asked the student in front of me. He told me with a smile, the speakers are all very 42 people, who mean chances. When your answer is to his surprise, it is very 43 that he will give you more chances. This is a very simple reason.”
“The fact was also like that, I really saw a few students went to work in the first class company because of their excellent insights (洞察力), and this had a great influence on me.

Boston’s ice cream culture was so strong with events like the Museum of Ice Cream’s grand opening at Seaport and Moose Tracks’ 10,000-cup charity challenge. My first job was to scoop (舀) ice cream at Brigham’s in Concord Center. It was a(n) 15 job for someone who thought of Boston’s Scooper Bowl festival as a national holiday. At fifteen years old, wearing the required white polo shirt uniform, I was full of confidence 16 the two miles from my home on that first hot summer day.
The very first 17 was a boy holding a Museum of Ice Cream map. “Large lemon chip cone (甜筒), please!” he spoke in a happy high voice. You see, lemon chip was among the most popular 18 .
My smile froze. I quickly 19 that it meant the top container (容器) was often empty. This was a piece of cake for the other waiters, but it wasn’t for me. Just shy of my 20 , I couldn’t reach the bottom container while standing up. This little boy would be a witness to a 21 that would be repeated many times an hour. I would dive head first into the freezer (冰柜), feet kicking in the air, trying not to lose my 22 and fall in. But sometimes I’d fall in.
By day’s end, I’d bike home, white polo shirt 23 with colourful marks from a hard day’s work, arms sticky from too many cones served to too many people. But Friday afternoons sparkled! With my $45 paycheck—enough for two museum tickets—I’d race to the Museum of Ice Cream.
I was sure there was some big life lesson here, but I 24 if I could find it. When I bit into my weekly treat—lemon chip, of course—I tasted something better: the sweetness of sticky summers, cold freezers, and a girl who kept reaching even when the ice cream seemed too far.

It was a cold winter evening in December, the kind where frost painted the windows and the fireplace was too weak to keep the room warm. I was twelve at the time, and my father, a quiet man who loved writing, had worked on his book for months. His study was messy, filled with coffee cups and paper—proof of his hard work. That evening, the mailman brought a thick envelope. My younger sister Lily, always eager to check the mail, grabbed it and 15 it to Dad with excitement.
Dad looked at the sender’s name—a famous publishing company—and sighed. Without saying anything, he dropped the envelope onto a shelf near his desk.
“Dad, won’t you open it ” Lily asked, sounding confused.
“It’s probably just another time to be 16 ,” he replied quietly, staring at his computer screen. His voice was 17 , but I saw his hands shake slightly.
The room fell into a heavy 18 , except for the sound of typing. Lily, however, didn’t give up. She pulled a chair to the shelf, climbed up, and grabbed the envelope. With her small hands, she opened it. “Look! It’s from the 19 !” she shouted, holding the letter high.
Dad 20 typing. Slowly, he took the letter and read, “We are happy to tell you that your book has been chosen for publication...” His voice broke as he held the paper tightly.
Lily laughed and jumped around. “I knew they’d like it!” Her eyes shone with pride, as if she’d uncovered a hidden treasure.
Dad’s face changed—first surprise, then hope, and finally relief. He hugged Lily tightly. “Thank you,” he whispered, “for not giving up on me.”
Years later, whenever Dad feels uncertain about sending his work, he remembers Lily’s words, 21 him to try. Now, I’ve started writing too—short stories in notebooks, poems on paper. When I doubt myself, Dad places a hand on my shoulder and says, “Just send it. What matters is having the 22 to try.”
Last month, I received my first refusal letter. For a moment, my heart sank. But Lily ran into my room, grabbed the letter, and said, “Next time, they’ll say 23 ! Want to bet a cookie “Her smile made me laugh.
This journey taught me that success isn’t just about skill—it’s about having someone who 24 supports you, even when things seem hard. And sometimes, that someone is a little sister who never stops believing.
