第二篇
In 2010, I experienced multiple life-changing setbacks within a short period of time. My marriage ended after seventeen years, I was 16 , a dear friend and mentor died, and I had an adolescent child who was facing circumstances that were beyond my ability to 17 . My physical and emotional health suffered as I attempted to keep my mind straight in the midst of 18 pain and uncertainty.
From the outside, my smile, energy and personal 19 made others believe that life for me was great, but at night, I took the mask off. That’s when I prayed, journaled, and 20 myself to sleep.
I made a decision in 2013 that every year I’d do something I’d never done before. Life is a 21 and “Just Keep Going” became my mantra. I made a decision to LIVE! I started walking in 2013, completed my first 5K in 2014, finished my first half marathon in 2015, and blew my own mind when I 22 a full 26.2-mile marathon in 2016. This was in addition to writing a second children’s book that 23 overnight. Life was great for a while.
24 , Daddy lost his battle with cancer in 2017. This loss shook me in a way that was far more painful than my 25 experiences in 2010. It would’ve been so easy to fall right back into a state of depression, but my spirit was 26 than it had been back then. I went through my grief but I wasn’t 27 by it. Just Keep Going.
Life is full of ups and downs, but if you face life with an optimistic attitude, then life will be 28 . In August 2017, keeping with my decision to be 29 and adventurous, I signed up for a triathlon (三项全能). I thought I could do it and I did! I swam, I 30 , I ran. And Just Keep Going.

第三篇
Mark is leaving, and I’m feeling kind of sad. He’s been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years, 31 good professional skills with a sweet and 32 personality.
And now he’s moving on to an exciting new professional 33 . It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime, and we’ re 34 pleased for him. But that doesn’t make it any 35 to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted 36 .
Life has a way of throwing these curve (曲线) balls at us. Just when we start to get 37 with a person, a place or a situation, something comes along to change the recipe.
I think life is a series of 38 — both good and bad. No matter how excellent your organizational skills are, there will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no 39 . The truly successful person is prepared to make 40 should the need arise.
That doesn’t mean you don’t keep trying to make all your 41 come true. It just means when things come up that aren’t 42 in your plan, you work around them — and then you move on.
We’re going to 43 Mark. But rather than stay on the 44 of our parting, we’ll focus on our hopes for a brighter future — for him, and for us. And then we’ll go out and 45 everything we can to make that future happen until our plans change again.

I was so excited about the London Olympics and wanted to be a part of it. A year before the Games, I thought, they’re going to need lifeguards, and Googled “London 2012 volunteers”. I 121 there would be thousands of applicants for the Olympic lifeguard role, so I didn't expect to hear back. But, a few weeks later, I was invited to a two-day exam and surprisingly passed.
I’ve heard people say, “Who needs lifeguards at the Olympics ” “It’s the 122 job in the world.” It’s belittling (轻视). You’re not a 123 , but you must be prepared for emergencies. If you don’t know how to pull somebody out of the water 124 , you’ve done the 125 before they get real treatment.
I don’t get startruck, but you’d be 126 when you’re standing next to a big star like Michael Phelps. One day I was waiting to start my 127 , when he walked past and gave us all high fives. In that instant, it felt like the energy of greatness had brushed right past me. When you see athletes win, you celebrate with them. When they fail, your heart breaks for them.
That's not to say it's not 128 when you’re in the chair. You don’t 129 the race because you’re so focused on checking each athlete’s 130 to see if anything doesn’t look right. Why is his arm doing that What’s happening with his foot Is he getting cramp
Even now, I’m still 131 while lifeguarding. You could have a pool full of the fittest-looking people, but one could have a history of heart disease. At the Paris Olympics, a Slovakian swimmer 132 after her event — she had had an asthma (哮喘) attack. Not all medical issues are 133 .
I now work as a lifeguard at a pool near Telford. Whenever I watch the Olympics, I always 134 the lifeguards. There’s stuff going on behind the scenes that no one realize. We 135 into the background and keep calm. But if there’s a problem, we’ll step forward.

I was born with a mind that raced faster than my heartbeat. While reading novels, I’d always 136 to the last page, obsessed with knowing the 137 before tasting the journey. In daily life, I treated problems like math equations—solve them fast or they’ll multiply. My motto: “Why 138 when you can run fast ” But this attitude left me mentally 139 and emotionally distant.
Everything changed when I joined a marathon training group. Longing for standing out, I 140 doubled my running distance overnight. By the third week, my knees felt 141 , but I ignored it. One rainy morning, I fell down unconsciously mid-run. The doctor warned, “Your body isn’t a machine; it has its natural 142 ” I stared at my bandaged leg, realizing I’d been 143 life itself.
During recovery, I met Mr. Thompson, a 70-year-old gardener. Every afternoon, he 144 trimmed his roses. “Why not trim them all at once ” I asked. He whispered softly, “Good things take time, kid. You can’t 145 a sunset.” His words struck me. I began observed how dewdrops 146 on petals at dawn and how clouds drifted (漂浮) lazily—things I’d never 147 before.
One evening, I picked up Hemingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea”. For the first time, I didn’t cheat. With each chapter, I felt the fisherman’s 148 hopes and hard-working struggles. When I finally reached the ending, tears 149 my cheeks—not from sadness, but from the beauty of a journey fully lived.
Now I keep a journal—“Today Matters.” Some pages are messy, some blank, but each one tells: Life isn’t a race. It’s art. And art demands to be 150 , not rushed.

In its best days, a visit to the London Trocadero was the highlight of many tourist trips to Britain. Opened in 1896, it was one of the grandest restaurants in the world. After a long decline it 166 in 1965. Yet soon the Trocadero will be on the London tourist-map once again: a 583-room hotel has come back.
It is a(n) 167 of the hotel boom currently under way in London. The number of hotel rooms has risen from 129,000 in 2013 to 149,000 today. Last year occupancy rates reached their highest in a decade and average prices were higher than ever.
The hotels’ boom is 168 , given the competition from sharing-economy websites and apps that allow people to rent out their spare rooms to travellers. Airbnb, the biggest such service, has 169 hotel revenues (收入) in some American cities by as much as 10%.
By comparison, the impact of room-booking apps has been 170 in London. Only 0.5% of Londoners advertise their 171 on Airbnb, compared with 2.4% of Parisians. One reason is that there is a 172 of reasonably priced residential stock near London’s main tourist attractions, which are occupied by offices and mansions. And according to a recent report by Citi, a bank, the growth of Airbnb listings in London and other big European cities is already 173 , meaning that Londoners’ spare rooms are unlikely to be able to handle much more demand.
Hotels have also benefited from a change in the 174 of visitors coming to Britain. While the strong pound has persuaded many tourists to go to cheaper destinations, business travellers cannot avoid London so easily. So although tourist spending didn’t witness a(n) 175 in 2015, businessfolk rose by 7% in Britain compared with the previous year.
Unlike holidaymakers who are willing to book a room in a stranger’s home on Airbnb to save a few pounds, most businesspeople are travelling on expense accounts and 176 to spend. Meanwhile their employers, with a duty to ensure safety, remain 177 booking spare rooms, which they fear conceal slippery stairs, faulty electrics and other hazards. This 178 hoteliers nicely.
But not all of them. Business travellers may not yet be switching to Airbnb, but they are 179 their costs. More than half the new rooms built in London this year will be operated by budget brands. Even the once-luxurious Trocadero cannot 180 that trend. Having made its name a century ago selling nine-course meals to the upper classes, in 2017 it re-opened — but as a budget hotel.

Why do we mourn public figures
On 8 September 2022, Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96. At the time of writing, the UK is in the midst of a prolonged period of public mourning.
Regardless of your thoughts about the monarchy, it’s undeniable that countless people were genuinely saddened by the Queen’s passing, and that many have been experiencing profound grief 196 it. This is a fascinating phenomenon, because grief is a complex and demanding process. So, why would so many 197 grief over the loss of someone they’ve likely never met, and who almost certainly had no idea that they existed
Rather than an oddity, such grief is actually 198 . It’s because of how our brains work. Humans are incredibly social creatures. It’s the basis for our dominance of the planet. We form 199 connections with other individuals like no other species. But despite what many assume, this need not be a mutual thing. It’s entirely possible for us to deeply and emotionally 200 someone who doesn’t even know we’re there.
Parasocial relationships are the basis of 201 culture and every sort of fandom. After all, it’s entirely possible for people to develop deep and powerful emotions for individuals who don’t even exist.
If we take this into account, it suddenly doesn’t seem so odd then that people would be able to 202 genuine affection for a real individual, especially one who may have been a(n) 203 of their world for decades. 204 , they would also then experience grief as a result of the death of that person. And because human sociability is so important, we’re often keen to express that grief with others, especially with those who share similar feelings. It’s another way of 205 , of reinforcing our remaining connections, at a time when we’ve lost one.
But humans aren’t just social. We’re also hierarchical (有层级的), we instinctively. 206 status, like being looked up to by others, and looking up to others in turn. We learn from others and the examples they provide. From back in the early days of our species, where aspiring to be like the best hunters or warriors was a useful survival trait, to the present day, we 207 to look up to, identify with and want to imitate the visibly more successful members of our society.
While the death of a high-profile and beloved individual often leads to widespread public mourning, the Queen’s passing is 208 on an even more profound level. This is because the Queen was visibly the head of British public life for seven decades. For someone living in the UK, she was just ‘there’, all day every day. On our money, our stamps, in the anthem, involved in all our laws and politics. She was essentially 209 . And her death showed us that one of the parts of our world which had seemed so 210 and unchanging, wasn’t. This made our world feel suddenly and fundamentally more uncertain.

Racket, din, clamor, noise, whatever you want to call it, unwanted sound is America’s most widespread nuisan Day and night, at home, at work, and at play, noise can produce serious physical and psychological 211 .
No one is immune to this stress. Though we seem to adjust to noise by 212 it, the ear, in fact, never closes and the body still responds—sometimes with extreme 213 , as to strange sound in the night.
The 214 we feel when faced with noise is the most common outward 215 of the stress building up inside us. Indeed, because irritability (易怒，烦躁) is so apparent, legislators(立法者) have made public annoyance the 216 of many noise reduction programs. The more subtle and more serious health hazards associated with stress caused by noise 217 have been given much less attention. 218 , when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise, we should consider these symptoms fair warning that other things may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging to our health.
Of many health hazards of noise, hearing loss is the most clearly observable and 219 by health professionals. The other hazards are harder to pin down. For many of us, there may be a risk that excessive 220 to the stress of noise increases vulnerability to disease and infection. The more vulnerable among us may experience noise as a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in healthy persons may have serious consequences for these already ill in mind or body.
Noise affect us throughout our lives. For example, there are 221 of effects on the unborn child when mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise. During infancy and childhood, youngsters affected by high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and 222 necessary amounts of rest. Why, then, is there not greater 223 about these dangers Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilities or disease has not yet been 224 demonstrated. Perhaps it is because we tend to 225 annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modern world. It may also be because we still think of hearing loss as only an occupational hazard.
