Fourteen-year-old Ethan was the slowest runner on his school’s cross-country team. During the final important race of the season, he faced his biggest 1 . Halfway through, Ethan 2 a sharp pain in his side. He 3 down, watching the other runners’ backs get farther away. The thought to stop was strong, but he 4 his coach’s words: “Finish what you start.”
He slowed to a jog, then a determined walk. His teammates had already finished, but the race wasn’t over for Ethan. The crowd’s attention was gone, and the finish line seemed miles away. Step by step, he 5 forward. His breathing was 6 , and his legs felt like wood, but he didn’t stop.
Then, something 7 happened. From the sidelines, his teammates, their own race finished, 8 back onto the course and gathered around him. They didn’t run to steal his burden but to 9 it. “You’ve got this, Ethan!” they shouted. Their 10 was like a burst of energy.
With their encouragement, Ethan found a final bit of 11 . He began to run again, not fast, but with 12 pace. When he finally crossed the finish line, the 13 didn’t matter. The entire team was there, cheering not for a win, but for his great 14 .

A simple old clock stood on the shelf of my childhood home. It didn’t work anymore; its hands had stopped 31 long ago. To most people, it was just a 32 object, but to me, it was a living piece of my past.
My grandfather used to 33 it every morning, caring for it carefully as if he were tending a small life. He always said, “Time is 34 , but memories don’t disappear.” I never 35 his words then, for I was too busy rushing through each day.
After he passed away, the house seemed 36 without his daily routine. The clock, once 37 and beloved, gathered dust. I considered 38 it many times, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
One day, while cleaning, I accidentally knocked it over. The cover fell off, and I saw the 39 inside: tiny wheels and springs, still complete. In that moment, I realized the clock wasn’t really 40 . It had just paused, much like my own memories.
Grandpa’s words began to 41 in my mind. We cannot stop time from moving, but we can 42 the love and lessons left behind. That silent clock now 43 me of the lesson: the most valuable things are not found in movement, but in the 44 we hold in our hearts.
It no longer ticks, yet it 45 louder than any clock I have ever known.

Not-so cold blooded
The word reptilian (爬虫类的) doesn’t describe just lizards and snakes. When 46 humans, it means an unfriendly, unfeeling type of person.
But scientists agree that reptiles aren’t 47 — they’re misunderstood. Extensive research has shown that reptiles experience a wide range of emotions and that they’re highly socially complex animals. A growing body of research pushes back on the 48 notion that reptiles only have the capacity for survival instincts and not for emotional intelligence.
Despite this wealth of evidence demonstrating reptiles’ emotional capacity, however, they’ve retained a reputation for being as 49 emotionally as they are physically. These misconceptions can lead to a lack of 50 for reptiles’ needs in captivity (人工圈养) and in the wild, advocates say. As more and more reptilian species are threatened by habitat loss, scientists and conservationists say that recognizing reptiles’ capacity for 51 can help pet owners and policymakers alike take better care of them.
Yet the myth of the emotionless “lizard brain” 52 . Popularized in the 1970s by astronomer and science communicator Carl Sagan, the term refers to the parts of the human brain that we use for 53 . According to this misconception, the human brain evolved over time by adding 54 more sophisticated structures to this underdeveloped lizard brain, including the limbic (边缘的) system, which is the source of our emotions. Because reptiles are our evolutionary forerunners, some researchers long believed that this instinctual part of the brain was the only part that originated with our 55 ancestors — and that without humanlike brain structures, reptiles didn’t have the capacity for emotions at all.
Scientists have repeatedly disproven the misconception throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, with a 2019 review identifying 37 studies supporting reptiles’ emotional capacity. While they may not be outwardly 56 in the same way that humans or other mammals are, reptiles are indeed highly social animals and have developed complex 57 for parental care, courtship, and nesting.Yet even as research on reptile 58 continues to build, the stereotypes around reptilian emotions have persisted. Part of this is simply because reptiles 59 their emotions differently than humans. In a 2021 study, researchers found that lizards emit chemicals to communicate with each other, meaning they’re much harder to 60 than their mammalian counterparts.

Last New Year’s Eve, I was out with a friend. As we wandered back home, we noticed an arcade (游戏厅) where a bunch of women were 61 a photo booth to take a strip (长条) of black-and-white photos together. Their enthusiasm was 62 so we waited until they were finished and did the same. I stuck the photos on my fridge, 63 under a magnet. In them, we are both grinning 64 at the camera, the years of friendship evident in our 65 .
Recently, I found boxes of forgotten photographs. Among them was a single black-and-white 66 cut from a much longer strip of photos. I 67 it to my fridge, next to the New Year’s Eve strip. Looking at the photos, I decided that I wanted more to 68 my exhibits. Now, whenever I’m out late with friends and we pass a photo booth, I 69 them in so that I can add to my mini 70 .
Although our mobile phones take far better photos, crowding into a booth with friends to take strip photos still holds a special 71 . The magic comes from the way they 72 friendship. The changing poses suggest the 73 in friendships, while a single image 74 an isolated moment.
More importantly, these tiny squares are a(n) 75 of a mood, a feeling, a connection between us and the people we care about.

I used to work in a center for people with drinking problems in Aberdeen. I took some of them hillwalking occasionally, and the sense of 76 in getting to a peak for them was really beneficial. 77 birds and wildlife really helped to build up confidence.
I recall an occasion when I was planning a 78 , and one center resident asked how using a map and compass (指南针) 79 people to find the way in the hills — so I showed him how to 80 them. Next day, when we set off, he 81 the map, checked the compass and led us towards the peak. I had done this hill several times before and conditions were 82 .
We started on the path, then headed up onto the open hillside and stepped onto the wide and flat plateau (高原). I watched him adjust the 83 with the compass, no need to 84 , for he did it exactly right. He used the map and compass 85 , and led us right to the top. He was so 86 that he had been able to do this.
People with drinking problems often 87 low self-worth. I believe the chance to successfully take responsibility for 88 a group up this hill really helped this individual on his way to 89 , and even perhaps gave him the 90 to be able to take on tasks and jobs in everyday life.

As a kid, passionately fond of reading, I feasted on books until my eyes blurred. But in the digital age, my deep focus has gradually 91 with endless phone scrolling. Reading, once a 92 , now feels more like a willpower challenge than a source of refreshment.
Determined to regain that love, I made a small 93 a year ago: every unknown word I 94 — whether in novels or conversations — I would look up and note down. 95 , I kept this simple list on my phone, the very device that had 96 my reading. Each week, I spent minutes reviewing the list to 97 those words in my memory.
This tiny practice proved 98 . Every time I recorded a word, I felt my seldom-used brain 99 again, breaking the cycle of mindless scrolling. Admittedly, sticking to it was 100 . I often had to pause reading to 101 e-dictionary, slowing my pace. What’s more, even noted down, most of these words were just like admired yet rarely used museum pieces, never making an 102 in my daily communication.
Though using my phone as a tool for slow thinking feels 103 in an era of distracted attention, this 104 has brought definite gains: my mind has grown keener, and I now reach for precise words instead of the same worn-out adjectives. Best of all, I’ve regained the pleasure of reading — a 105 once feared lost.

When our daughter asked us to take her on an adventure, I immediately thought of a piece of advice from a friend. He 121 taking children “to the wildest spaces they can find”. I had no idea at all about that. Nevertheless, after 122 our essentials, we drove a car and began our 123 travel.
Soon we entered the scenic countryside, and my daughter’s excitement filled the air. Suddenly, we found a cave. Feeling 124 , we decided to explore further. With the help of flashlights, we 125 it with great caution. Inside, the cave opened up, revealing a breathtaking underground world. Surprised at the natural beauty, we determined to make the most of this 126 find. As we walked along the side of the cave, we were greeted by 127 rock.
When we continued, a dim (暗淡的) light 128 ahead, accompanied by unsettling sounds. My daughter grabbed my hand as we 129 , unsure whether to continue. However, after a moment of inner struggle, we cheered ourselves up and 130 on towards the light. When we emerged from the cave, a 131 came into our sight. The unsettling sounds we had heard were just the wind rustling the leaves. Listening to the birds’ 132 , we took in the beauty of nature.
It was an obvious 133 that sometimes, exploring the unknown can lead to astonishing 134 . This adventurous trip of conquering fear had also 135 us to a place beyond our imagination, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

I was offered a “great” professional opportunity appealing to everyone in my field. There was one problem: I didn’t want it. Despite this, I 136 said “yes” — it seemed like a no-brainer.
While preparing for the new role, I experienced a 137 feeling in my chest and found myself weeping for no reason. Concerned, I 138 the program director and explained my situation. She enthusiastically listed the job’s incredible 139 like the flexible schedule, and the reasons why countless teachers would desire it. She also made the case for why this 140 would provide exactly the recharge and restoration I needed. Her infectious 141 pulled me back into the “should” mode, convincing me declining was 142 . The familiar internal dialogue of “I should; I should…” resounded, leaving me feeling 143 .
Then, I made a change. 144 focusing on why the opportunity seemed perfect for others, I asked: Is it right for me This simple 145 brought me freedom and clarity. By acknowledging my own feelings over external expectations, I 146 with my true self. I realized I wished I wanted it; life would be easier. And yet, it was not what in reality I wanted at this moment.
We’re often conditioned to 147 what we’re taught to want, prioritizing external guidelines for happiness. However, although these external constructs of fulfillment often 148 to match what you do want and what actually makes you happy, 149 your own desires is an internal process that only you have access to.

I’d been exploring the 40-hectare woods around our cottage my whole life and I knew the way well. So it was a 151 when I found myself lost there.
One dull cold February afternoon, I had a sudden 152 to hike the hill with my two daughters. Putting on our snowshoes, we immediately 153 northwestward. While making our way up the hill, my daughters stopped occasionally to investigate unknown plants and to look at the abandoned deer beds... These really made their 154 .
As the shadows started to 155 , we moved further up. Soon, weariness began to 156 enthusiasm. We decided to return. Instead of backtracking over our 157 route, I chose to walk down the steep side of the hill, 158 my general sense that ahead of us lay the stream that would guide us to the road. But as the terrain (地形) leveled out, I had my first major moment of 159 : Where was the stream Were we off course
I instinctively (本能地) pulled out my phone to get my location, but it 160 in my hand in the cold air.
161 , I started feeling a bit panicky. However, I quickly 162 myself, reassuring my daughters to continue walking. Focusing on the landmarks, I spotted a familiar tree and eventually 163 the road.
That winter’s day taught me a valuable lesson about habitual reliance on technology. If my phone had 164 then, I might have directly followed the GPS, ignoring the old 165 of depending on surroundings and life skills.

When my wife and I started “Little Acorns”, a self-esteem program for children, we learned about an important educational conference to be held in San Diego. Although our savings were nearly 166 , we felt we had to attend, so we started asking.
I first called the conference coordinators (协调人). After explaining our 167 , they offered us two free tickets. Next, I contacted an airline and was connected to the president. To my 168 , he immediately agreed to provide airline tickets — his quick “yes” really 169 me. He even thanked me for the opportunity to help.
For 170 , Holiday Inn offered us a free stay, though they 171 the hotel was far away from the conference venue. Then National Car Rental provided a car for our daily 172 .
Through simply 173 , we arranged everything in one day. At the conference, we were still worried we might have to 174 on meals to save money, but after I shared our story, many people 175 offered us lunch.
This experience taught us that most people are 176 to help. Our program has since 177 significantly, reaching thousands of families. We’ve held international conferences and received 178 from many countries, which enabled us to take our program to their places. The message is clear — you can achieve almost anything if you have the 179 to ask. Sometimes the greatest 180 lies not in being refused, but in being afraid of asking the request.

Last Sunday, my class went to visit the Yuan Longping Memorial Hall. We all knew Mr. Yuan was a great scientist who helped solve the food problem for many people. Our teacher told us to take notebooks to 181 important things we learned.
When we arrived, a guide greeted us warmly. She took us to the first hall and showed us photos of Mr. Yuan. We saw him working in the fields — he always wore a simple hat and 182 clothes. The guide told us Mr. Yuan spent most of his life 183 hybrid rice. Even in his 80s, he still went to the fields every day to check the crops. Sometimes he would stay in the fields the whole 184 to watch how the rice grew.
In another room, there were some of Mr. Yuan’s old things: a broken notebook, a used pen, and a pair of muddy shoes. The notebook was full of his 185 about rice research. I felt moved when I looked at these things — they showed how hard Mr. Yuan worked. A classmate of mine even took a photo of the notebook to 186 it.
Then, we watched a short video. It told the story of how Mr. Yuan 187 hybrid rice. At first, many people thought it was impossible. But Mr. Yuan never gave up. After years of hard work, he finally 188 . His rice could feed millions more people. The video made many of us 189 — we were all proud of him.

We learned not only about Mr. Yuan’s achievements but also about his spirit of 192 .
I think everyone should remember Mr. Yuan. His work has changed the world for the better, and his story will 193 us to try our best for a long time.

At the start of the swim season, my 11-year-old daughter Elizabeth and I made a deal that she would go to practice three times a week but wouldn’t compete in swim meets. She 196 them, getting horribly nervous at the thought of making mistakes and 197 everyone.
Recently, her team announced a “T-shirt relay,” where each swimmer would 198 a T-shirt and socks, and swim 50 meters. One teammate would take off the clothes and socks and put them on the next one. It wasn’t exactly an individual swim meet, but involving team members, so I finally talked her into going. 199 , Elizabeth was chosen to swim the decisive last leg (最后一棒).
By the last leg, her team had 200 a narrow lead. Then it was Elizabeth’s 201 . At the halfway mark, her 202 fell off and floated in the pool. Her team was informed that she had to put it on in time or they’d be 203 . Her teammates screamed for her to get the sock, but she couldn’t hear. A girl from another team was 204 up. Suddenly, a teammate jumped in, 205 the sock and swam after Elizabeth, and then 206 it on her foot. With the sock on, Elizabeth fought her heart out for the last 15 meters and became a 207 .
On the ride home, she 208 her moment of glory repeatedly. She talked about how scared she was when someone took hold of her foot and how 209 the night was. She told me that if the relay was an Olympic event — and she is quite 210 it should be — her team would win the gold medal. I told her that in my professional opinion, she was absolutely right.
