Although the tasks___125___each day, our ___126___ in the factory remained the same. Volunteering at Cradles to Crayons allowed me to connect with others who share ___127___passions(热情). I enjoyed working with some of the nicest, most___128___individuals.

At the end of the day, the volunteer leader would announce how many____131____ we helped that day. It ____132____me to see how such a small act can make a huge____133____ in someone’s life. Donating two hours of my day to help the children who need it the most is rather ____134____.
My experience at Cradles to Crayons taught me the importance of gratitude.

Charles Darwin once said, “A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.” Well, quite simply ____141____: life is short. Spending eight hours every day sleeping ____142____ you’ re losing a third of your life to ____143____. So, is eight hours the ____144____ amount we need, or just a myth (神话)?
While most scientists ____145____ that between seven and nine hours a night is a proper amount, this is just a rough ____146____. In truth, it’s a little more ____147____ than that. It seems that the amount of sleep you need ____148____ your age—with babies needing much more than ____149____. Apparently, around seven and a half hours’ sleep is a good amount. In a study _____150_____ at the University of Surrey Sleep Research Centre, the _____151_____ of sleep were monitored.
One group slept for six and a half and the other for seven and a half hours per night. While some findings were _____152_____—annoyance and lower _____153_____ in the group who slept less, there were some more surprising findings. The genes of people with less sleep were _____154_____. Genes associated with the immune (免疫) system, stress response and _____155_____ risk of cancer became more active.
One of the biggest problems is that myths with _____156_____ to sleep constantly exist. For example, have you ever heard that you can _____157_____ yourself to need less or no sleep? It’s simply not _____158_____. Eight hours might not be the exact sweet _____159_____, and there are _____160_____ like age to take into consideration, but there is a certain amount we do actually need.

Standing on the shore of a lake, I can’t help but feel surprised at the thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from ____161____ surfaces, their edges softening over time. I wonder, “Can we learn from a pile of rocks?”
Even the tallest mountains have ____162____; none are as tall as they were 1,000 years ago. And much like a rock, I’ve found my ____163____ has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.
____164____, I was also a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and I’m more ____165____. I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can ____166____ together.
But I’m not a ____167____. I’m a human filled with all the drama built into my DNA．
Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask several young men to ____168____ for not wearing masks. Not ____169____ and not rude. On the door read a sign, “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can to _____170_____ this together.”
The group of young men wanted to _____171_____ about the note. I sat at the restaurant watching, understanding both sides. I’ve been one of them before, using my youthful edges to chip away at (削弱) the world. What I lost, _____172_____, was the ability to grow from _____173_____ by looking through the eyes of others. In learning to be more _____174_____, I’ve also found more happiness and success.
You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to _____175_____ and make room for others, while the latter never give an _____176_____ to accommodate others.
_____177_____, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to _____178_____ the world from someone else’s point of view.
I placed a _____179_____ stone into my jacket pocket. Mother Nature is holding a _____180_____ again.
