My wife and I usually don’t keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered. But after my diagnosis with a brain cancer, I loved the idea of having something green and 1 around us.
Last year, my friend Mitch gave me a lucky bamboo plant. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of 2 at a time when I sometimes felt useless because my ability to move was limited. As a physician, I was used to being the one who 3 care. Watering the plant 4 me to a core part of my old identity and taught me I could still be a caregiver.
However, after several weeks growing in perfect condition, the plant 5 began to show signs of stress. No matter what I did, the leaves kept 6 and dropping to the floor.
“I can’t even care for a simple plant!” I yelled. “If my lucky bamboo dies, I might die too!”
Identifying with the green and growing plant had offered me comfort. But when the tree was struggling, I felt increasingly uneasy and 7 .
It was several months later when I recovered from surgery that I realized I had wrongly linked my careful nurturing of the plant—something over which I had at least some control—with my own 8 —something over which I had no control.
As my 9 lessened, I began to study online tutorials to figure out how to care for the tree. I transplanted it to a larger pot, and when it was back in the sunny window, we both began to thrive (旺盛) again.
Now whenever I look at the tree in its new pot, I make a point to relax and think of the things I can 10 .

For most people, having things stolen feels like an offence. Robbie Pruitt admitted that he got mad when he discovered the theft of his mountain bike last September. But soon enough, his 11 took a turn. After letting go of his anger and frustration, he found himself on a road to sympathy instead.
For Robbie, a keen bicyclist, the first thing to do was 12 his stolen bike. But when he went shopping, he found few available, which got him thinking: What if the lack of bikes was Covid-19 related, and what if the person who’d taken his bike really needed 13 to get to work?
With that thought in mind, Robbie came up with a plan and posted it on the community website. He 14 to fix bikes free of charge for anyone who needed it. He also asked for unwanted bikes, which he would repair — again for free. And then he would donate them to folks who could truly use them but didn’t have the 15 to buy one.
The day the post went live, Robbie received thirty used bicycles. Then came more than 500 enquiries for detailed information. By the end of 2020, Robbie had repaired more than 140 for donation or to be 16 to their owners.
Robbie tries to give his donations to families that are truly 17 . Upon simply satisfying a material need, he has provided an opportunity for kids in his neighborhood to learn how to fix their own bikes. In addition to practical skills, Robbie’s lessons teach teamwork, encourage self-worth, and promote feelings of community. 18 , the kids have gained a sense of accomplishment.
“It’s a really great experience for kids,” said a neighbor in an interview with the local newspaper. “Robbie is certainly providing a 19 , but it’s not just the bikes. It’s the relationships in the community. It’s the 20 that he can make on people.”

One of the best feelings is knowing that I have made a(n) 21 impact on another person’s life.
During my freshman year, I got my first real job at Dunkin’ Donuts. I quickly became aware that customers’ 22 was important, so I tried to provide the best service that I could. I still remember one customer vividly, an elderly gentleman named Frank. He came in every Sunday afternoon and ordered a medium coffee with two old-fashioned donuts. Immediately after I saw him pull into the parking lot, I 23 his order, having it ready by the time he walked in. If I had no other work to do, I sat and talked with him. We learned a lot about each other. I could not help feeling sorry for him because his wife had recently passed away.
After a year of working every weekend, I eventually decided to leave and turned in my two-week notice. The most difficult part of 24 was not telling my boss, but informing Frank. I felt like I was 25 him. When I finally brought it up, he 26 replied, “Oh, that’s too bad. I’m sure that the staff will miss you.” I began to think that our visits held no real importance to him, and that he would be just as 27 enjoying his food alone. 28 , on my last day, Frank came in with a card that simply read, “Your kindness during the time we have spent together is heartwarming. You had no 29 to speak a word to me, let alone show a real interest in our conversations. Few things have brought me more pleasure than our weekly visits. Thank you.”
A amount of 30 I received for such minor efforts is mind-blowing. Giving up my weekends for a year was a small price to pay to grasp the remarkable effects of kindness.

My life as a tax-paying employed person began in middle school, when, for three whole days, I worked in a baking factory.
My best friend Betsy’s father was a manager at Hough Bakeries, which, at Easter time, 31 little bunny cakes for all its stores throughout Cleveland. It happened that the plant downtown needed eight kids for 32 help during our spring break, for which I had no 33 beyond listening to my favorite records. I’d earn minimum wage. I’d see how a factory worked. My parents thought all of this was a grand idea and called Betsy’s dad with their 34
Our 35 in the factory were simple: Place cakes on a moving belt. Attach icing (糖霜) ears. Apply icing eyes and nose. 36 bunny from the belt. This was harder than it sounds. 37 a bit and the cakes pile up. As I told my parents at dinner that first night, it was all a little more high-pressure than I’d 38 .
Dad smiled. The son of a grocer, he’d spent the summers of his childhood 39 food in Bernardsville, New Jersey. This was the sort of work that made you 40 the dollars you earned and respect those who did the work, he told me.

When I was 19 years old, I decided to pursue my passion for writing as a career. At the time, I knew that it was a 41 choice. It is one thing to turn your passion into a career, but to study writing as a 4-year degree? Was I being crazy or just 42 ?
The truth is, from the moment I chose writing as my major, I was 43 doubting my decision. I enjoyed my classes, but I couldn’t shake the 44 . As my senior year closed in, most of my friends had 45 what kind of careers they were looking for. I, on the other hand, hadn’t even decided what kind of writing I wanted to do.
Then I asked myself why I write. For a while, I did not have a good enough 46 . “Because I love it” often came to mind, but it didn’t seem to be a sufficient reason to justify devoting my life. Finally, after many doubts and anxious questions, I found the answer that gave me 47 . I have returned to this moment many times to remind myself why I keep pushing through.
Why do I write? Because it is what I have to give. I have the ability to 48 in a way that connects with others. I have the clarity to see that I can reach others through the language I use. It is how I can give of myself to the world that has shaped me. And so, I find dignity in the work I do.
Every person 49 a passion for something. Whatever they are, it’s worth it to seek out why they matter, and keep seeking until we find an answer that 50 . And once you have found the answer, cling to it. Return to it again and again to remind yourself that what you have to share with this world is uniquely yours to give.

When I was eight years old, I spent a few weeks of the summer at a Girl Scout camp called Camp Redwing — a place where the scenery was beautiful. My friends and I were all excited about the day’s creek hike.
When one person in the group 71 a slug (鼻涕虫), we were all excited. We gathered around pushing each other to be in the front with the best view. And that’s when one of the counselors told us that when you lick (舔) a slug, your 72 goes numb. Then the counselor caught it and began 73 it around. When the slug made it way to me, my 74 took over and I decided to lick it. It was slimy (黏的) and cold, but not as disgusting as I expected. 75 , it did not numb my tongue; the numbing chemical must have been 76 by the time it reached me. The enthusiasm I had to try it out and learn something new is a feeling that has stuck with me since.
When we’re kids, we want to know everything. We bother our parents with 77 questions of “Why?” and we try everything in school. But as we grow up and reach high school, then college, curiosity seems to 78 a lot.
Now, when I feel myself losing the passion for learning, I remembered to lick the slug — whatever the slug is in that moment. I’ll do anything that ignites that same enthusiasm in me, and I 79 what other people think about it.

The English youngster 88 that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the agency.

They’re tough breeds and they have complicated names to match. But free-spirited Aussie dogs Tank the Rottweiler-cross and Muck the Staffie-cross instinctively (本能地) knew when a small child was in danger, and their protective 91 prevented a tragedy.
One December afternoon, Georgie Hillier thought her two-year-old son Max was playing in the back garden of their home. But when she went to check, there was no 92 of Max or their dog Tank. When she couldn’t find them, she jumped in her car and started to 93 the neighboring property. She was frightened that her son could have fallen into one of the dams.
Then she found Tank with the neighbor’s dog Muck. They were both running around the dams, barking furiously and 94 in mud.
“I just panicked. I was running around, checking the sides of the dams,“ Georgie told Sara Hicks. 95 she kept searching, a neighbor called the police. Eventually, a woman who had found Max heard Georgie’s calls and brought the 96 kid out to her.
There was no one there to 97 what exactly happened, but Michael Beattie from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals took up the story. “When the police arrived on the 98 , they saw quite distinct drag marks. It was 99 that young Max had actually been pulled out of the dam by one of the dogs - most likely Tank. Max was making moves to go back into the dam and Muck was virtually heading him off at the pass. It was the police’s opinion that the only way that Max was 100 from drowning was by the two dogs. ”
For saving the toddler’s life, the daring two dogs received the RSPCA’s Purple Cross award for bravery- plus two very large bones.
