Winning feels good; losing feels bad.____31____, we can’t always win. So it’s important for us to accept the bad feeling of losing and turn it into a positive ____32____ that teaches us the ways we can improve. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, British boxer Ben Whittaker ____33____ a silver medal. When he was handed the ____34____, he put it in his pocket instead of placing it around his neck. With tears in his eyes, he said, “I didn’t win silver; I ____35____ gold.” Similarly, China’s mixed-doubles table tennis team of Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen won silver instead of gold. They ____36____ the loss like good sportsmen. Some Chinese fans,____37____ were angry and disappointed. In their opinion, no other country is ____38____ at table tennis. All table tennis golds should go to China.
The British boxer and China’s table tennis ____39____ would be wise to listen to the words of NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He said, “You can’t win ____40____ you learn how to lose.” Kareem won a ____41____ early in his career, but that was followed by many years of losing. However, he later went on to win five more championships. Kareem did not let those years of losing ____42____ his spirit; he used them as motivation to work harder.
Sports is a lot like ____43____. We are always competing to get into the best schools, to win prizes, and to get better jobs. We don’t always win, but every loss can be an ____44____ to learn and, through this process, to improve. As long as you ____45____ yourself and never give up, you will never be a loser.

Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This ____46____ movement is called migration. They migrate to find food, ____47____ , or in search of warmer weather. One of the most ____48____ migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.
Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings ____49____ a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4,000 kilometres south and find their way to California or Mexico. However, until recently no one ____50____ how they did this.
A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. They have found out that the monarch is able to ____51____ the time of day. It uses its eyes to measure the ____52____ of the sun. These two pieces of ____53____ — the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky — allow the butterfly to ____54____ the way to go. ______55______ , it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
The ______56______ to the mystery of the monarch’s amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. Its population has ______57______ by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human ______58______ is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are ______59______ the natural environment. They ______60______ trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.
The ______61______ on the monarch’s behaviour has however led to a greater awareness of this ______62______ . People have been working together to ______63______ its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to ______64______ . If this works, there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again, The more we know about this lovely creature, the greater the chance it will ______65______ and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.

I then asked my daughter to write down a ____92____ of us and put some thought to it. It is a perfect gift as well. It will always make me feel ____93____ and it will last forever!

I was ___98___ . I'd destroyed a priceless family heirloom (传家宝) while playing in Missi's house.
A couple of minutes after six we heard a key ___99___ in the door. Her mom returned home.

My mother, who is short, fat and white-haired, looks just like many grand mothers. She seldom did ____111____ stuff as she comes from an old traditional family. That all ____112____ a few years ago. She began to ____113____ my older brother and me with bouts of what she described as "independence."
In early 2015, the year she turned 75, she ____114____ us she'd booked a seven-night trip to Turkey. Alone. She had never been. Of course, that was ____115____ , so there was no way my brother and I could allow that. Such a little old lady ____116____ the streets of Istanbul on her own, not speaking a word of Turkish, with no ____117____ of the laws and customs of the land—it was out of the question! She paid no attention to us. Off she went. When she returned, she told us it had been a wonderful ____118____ . As it turns out, she had barely spent any time alone after ____119____ a taxi driver to show her around Istanbul for a few days.
At 77, she did a _____120_____ thing while on a Caribbean cruise with her younger sister. Upon _____121_____ in Cuba, she flagged down a motorcycle rickshaw and had the driver "show her around the island" for several hours. My mom's 80th-birthday skiing is just the latest example of her wild newfound _____122_____ .
My brother and I _____123_____ : Had she become mad? But Mom's independence seems to be thoughtfully based on a（n） _____124_____ that life is to be lived, and when there's relatively little of it left, it needs to be lived now. This philosophy _____125_____ me of the line from The Shawshank Redemption: "Get busy living or get busy dying.”

Its edges were singed (烧焦的), yet the words were surprisingly ____137____: “If life seems difficult, I pause and reflect on the ____138____ sometimes hidden within every circumstance. With renewed faith and courage, I begin again.”
Words that must have come from one of my books, a passage I couldn’t ____139____ but now said everything I needed to hear. I framed that scrap of paper.
