His palms were sweating. He needed a towel to dry his palms. The sun was as hot as the 1 he faced today at the National Junior Olympics. The bar (横竿) was set at 17 feet. That was three inches higher than his personal best. Michael Stone faced the most 2 day of his pole-vaulting (撑竿跳高) career.

You couldn’t tell whether Michael Stone was surprised, excited or vain about clearing the bar at 17 feet. As soon as he 3 on the inflated (充了气的) landing mat, Michael immediately began 4 for his next attempt at flight. He seemed 5 the fact that he had just beaten his personal best 6 three inches and that he was one of the first two competitors in the pole-vaulting 7 at the National Junior Olympics.

When Michael 8 the bar at 17 feet 2 inches and 17 feet 4 inches, again he showed no 9 . At the same time, he 10 the people sigh(叹气), he knew the other vaulter had missed his final jump. He knew it was time for his 11 jump.

Since the other vaulter had fewer misses, Michael needed to clear this vault to win. A 12 would get him second place. It was nothing to be ashamed of, 13 Michael would not 14 himself to have the thought of not winning first place.

He rolled over and found his pole, stood and stepped on the runway that 15 the most challenging event of his 17-year-old life.

As he sprinted (冲刺) down the runway, something felt wonderfully different, yet familiar. When he took a deep breath, it happened. He began to 16 like an eagle.

He later went on that day to clear 17 feet 6 inches: a new National and International Junior Olympics record.

With all the media attention and sponsorship possibilities, Michael’s life would never be 17 again. It wasn’t just because he won the National Junior Olympics and 18 a new world record. And it wasn’t because he had just increased his personal best by 9 inches. It was simply because Michael Stone is blind.

A challenge can sometimes make a 19 to the life, and bring 20 the best in us.

Be a Traveler, not a Tourist

Last summer, I had just enough money saved to buy a golden ticket—a 3-month train pass that would take me to the furthest reaches of Europe. Excited for my journey, I packed all the necessities —except the 1 .

While the convenience of the Internet was definitely a contributing factor to my 2 not to take with me the few expensive kilograms of out-of-date information, this was not the only reason why I decided to fly alone.

To be honest, my main 3 with the guidebook is that I find it 4 the pleasure of a journey—like bossy aunt who is always telling you what to do, 5

she doesn’t always know what is the best.

Experience has taught me that there is an obvious 6 between a tourist and traveler.

While waiting in a queue, I met a man who had a checklist. He showed me his list of “Top 20 Things To Do in Italy” and 7 off in a loud American accent that he’d seen everything Italy has to offer in just four days.

The problem I had with this man’s 8 to travelling was that he was too 9 information provided by his guidebook. He was lost in the 10 attractiveness of the “must-sees” and 11 to all the wonders and adventures that might happen during the 12 trip. So, 13 any guidebook, I traveled to Estonia, the tiny Baltic country bordering Russia. In the 14 of advance plans as guidebooks would suggest, I had no choice but to turn to some friendly faces for advice. I 15 myself first and then asked them what was happening around the town. When this 16 an invitation to a beautiful Estonian home by a river where I 17 a 110-degree wood-stove sauna(桑拿浴), 18 picked forest-mushrooms and the good 19 of our five newly-found Estonian friends, I was most glad that I had left my “bossy 20 ” at home.

As more and more people speak the global languages of English a year or two in different countries 1 to just visit as a tourist. It has become a big part of my identity as an adult and shaped 2 I see the world and myself. My first 3 of this amazing life was when I was 19 years old. I was 4 among a small group of college classmates to spend a year abroad. This was long before people could travel the world 5 through social media like Facebook, Instagram and Weibo. In order to see a place, you had to go there and 6 it firsthand. Living abroad can be exciting. I thought it would be 7 because I spoke the language, but I enjoyed the little differences between the British and American culture and language. For instance, instead of 8 the British called it “rubbish”; instead of favor they spelled it “favour”.

But there were also 9 that year too. One of my classes was called “Europe Since 1870”. In the U.S., I would have expected an introductory history class, but in England, I was 10 o have already known the history; now was the time to analyze it. That 11 I not only had to learn the history as I went along, but also I had to try to write a paper explaining why certain events happened as they did. I know now that I was thrown into the deep 12 , in a completely different and far more challenging environment, and it was natural that I wouldn’t understand everything easily. Despite this, I don’t 13

anything about my time in London. Even 14 painful experiences, we learn to grow.

15 the difficult times made me sad and homesick. But luckily that was not as important as the amazing experience I had getting to know people from all over the world. I met dozens of interesting people from places like France, Greece and Germany in Europe, to Rwanda. Palestine and Australia. Learning how to make friends with people from different cultures and backgrounds was really fun, and these new friends helped put a(n) 16 to the countries they represented (代表).

As I finished the 17 year, I was torn inside about leaving London after such a life-changing experience.

I learned so much about myself as a young woman and a(n) 18 . When I 19 to my college for my final year, friends and professors saw a(n) 20 me. I had more maturity and self-awareness that I hadn’t had before. It was just the beginning of a future of world travel and a love of different people and cultures.

There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of them are very 1 . English is one of them. Many people 2 it，not only in England and the USA, but in other parts of the world. About 20 million speak it 3 their native language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a 4 language. Many millions are 5 to do so.

Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different 6 . Have you ever 7 such advertisements (广告) in the newspapers or magazines? “Learn English in six weeks, or your 8 back...”Of course, it never 9 quite like this.

If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. 12 what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He 13 what he hears. When he is using the language, taking in it, 14 all the time, just imagine how much 15 that he gets!

So it is 16 to say that learning English is easy 17 a good command(掌握) of English depends on(取决于)a lot of practice. And practice needs great effort and 18 much time. Sometimes teachers，records，tapes，books，and dictionaries will 19 . But they can't do the student's 20 for him. 21cnjy

As soon as I stopped giving all my 12 to how much I missed Virginia, I was able to begin accepting the love that people were already giving me. I joined some clubs at school, which gave me the chance to make friends. My neighbor taught me how to cook some New Orleans food, and I found a wonderful 13 of fellow cooks and neighbors. Overall, I seized every possible opportunity to 14 myself and to rebuild my life.

Because of my resilience (复原力) in creating a new home for myself and the 15 that people have shown to me, home is right here.

Five days before Christmas, police officer Lima was sent to a local Stop and Shop for a reported theft. The accusation (指控) was that two females were 1

some items at the self-checkout but bypassing other items and 2 those items. The two females and two children were already 3 by the security guard over there.

Lima had two girls himself, similar in age to the two girls there, so it 4 him a little bit. Lima checked the 5 for the items they had paid for. There was nothing else like health and beauty items on it. The items were all 6 —things bought just to stuff themselves. Then he asked an employee where the other items were that they had 7 to take and was informed they were put back on the shelves.

Obviously, this family was in real need. While Lima firmly 8 following the law, he decided to cut them a break and not to 9 them.

The two-females, consequently, were very grateful but kind of 10 because generally, in that same situation there would probably be a different outcome and they’d be 11 .

Lima took things a step further in an effort to aid the family. He gave them $200 gift card, telling them not to get things in 12 ways any more.

“I purchased the gift card close to the 13 of what would have been taken,” said Lima, “I did what I felt was 14 . I just tried to show a little 15 to the extent permitted by law.”

Lu Yiwei, a 19-year-old from Shanghai, proved his floristry(花艺)skills by winning the gold medal at the 45th WorldSkills Competition in Kazan, Russia, last month.

\"It is commonly believed that floristry is a job 1 for girls,\" he said. \"But actually, it's not an easy one because it requires heavy work, such as moving wood and large, heavy flowerpots – things that are 2 when creating works – which requires 3 .\"

Lu was 4 by a vocational school (职业学校) in 2017, a year after he graduated from junior high school at age 16. \"The first thing I learned was design. Then my teacher told me that maybe I should study floristry because he felt I was 5 in that area,\" he said with a laugh. Lu said he was not 6 about the suggestion then. \"Actually, I knew 7 about floristry. All I knew at the time was that some students in our school had won the 44th WorldSkills Competition in Abu Dhabi in 2017.\"

Lu said he was in a poor condition when he 8 the competition. \"Almost two weeks before I had the final training in July, I was 9 of ideas, which was terrible for a competitor whose project needed new ideas. I got used to my new identity later, thanks to my 10 who guided me with their patience and scientific training courses.\"

His trip to Kazan was 11 , but he enjoys the memory. He said he had 12 during the competition because he was getting more and more nervous as the competition 13 . \"We were given all our tasks about 15 minutes before the competition started. It was really hard because we had to 14 ideas for all in such a short time,\" he said.

\"I didn't 15 during the World-Skills trials(预赛), as there were so many experienced and excellent competitors,\" he said. \"But I was always 16 . I think my positive 17 brought me opportunities and the final honor.\"

\"Many of my classmates were pleased after winning medals at the competition, but they lost their 18 . I won the gold medal at the age of 19, but I know that it's not my final 19 . I want to develop more new 20 .\" Since returning from Russia, he has started a new life at his school, again studying design.

The pea incident happened when I was eight. My grandmother, my mother and I were having lunch at a restaurant. I 1 a Salisbury steak. But when served, it was 2 accompanied by a plate of peas.

I have always hated peas. It is a complete 3 to me why anyone would voluntarily eat peas.

“Eat your peas,” my grandmother said.

“Mother,” said my mother in her 4 voice. “He doesn’t like peas. Leave him alone.”

My grandmother looked at me and said the words that changed my life: “I’ll pay you five dollars 5 you eat those peas”. Five dollars! And only one plate of peas stood between 6 and the possession of that unimaginable amount of money. I began to 7 the awful things down my throat and finally swallowed the 8 one of them. My grandmother handed me the 9 . “I can do what I want, Ellen, and you can’t stop me,” she 10 to my mother. My mother glared at her and also glared at me 11 .

Several days later, at dinner, my mother offered me some steaming peas and I, of course, 12 . My mother fixed me with a cold eye as she 13 more peas onto my plate. “You ate them for money,” she said, “You can eat them for love.”

Oh, despair! Now, too late, I realized that I had been 14 in a terrible place from which there was no 15 . “You ate them for money. You can eat them for love.” Did I eat the peas? You bet I did. I ate them that day and every other time they were served thereafter.

As human beings, we are alike in many ways. Yet 1 our similarities, no two people are exactly the same. Even identical twins 2 different life experiences. Just because of these 3 , the \"one size fits all\" solution will not be the most 4 answer to our problems.

One of my life 5 is to find what works for me best, and forget the rest. Just that something works well for someone else, doesn't 6 mean that it will work well for me too. I have found that I am successful when I 7 any new method or strategy I learned to deal with my 8 situation.

A perfect example of why it's best to find what works for you is when it 9 to trying to pick a diet and an exercise plan. There are 10 diet plans and exercise programs out there to 11 from, and it can be quite overwhelming(令人不知所措的). When choosing a 12 plan you have to consider food allergies, how portable the food is if you are away from home most of the time, and many other 13 . When choosing an exercise program you have to consider your starting level of fitness, and health issues that might adapt your ability to do the program, and 14 you actually enjoy the exercise enough to 15 with it. Many people like jogging, but it is probably my least 16 form of exercise. By finding more suitable and enjoyable alternatives（供替代的选择）that give me the same 17 or better, it is easier to stick with my exercise program.

You 18 yourself better than anyone, so don't be 19 to experiment with different solutions to whatever you are trying to achieve. Don't 20 use something because it is \"the best\or because it works well for someone else. Find what works best for you, and forget the rest.

The science teacher，Mr.Black，had asked his students to study a particular animal. They were asked to 1 a short report and then make a 2 in class.Some talked about dogs，others about horses，and some chose fish. But the most 3 discovery of all was made by little Sophie.

“I found that 4 are terribly bad- tempered(坏脾气的)，”she said for certain .
