Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a 1 of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was 2 , I’d say I was not over-speeding. Several times I got 3 behind a slow- moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with 4 .
At one point along an open highway, I 5 crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I 6 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. No cars, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to 7 , the only human being for at least a mile in any 8 .
I started 9 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being 10 , because there was obviously no police-man around, and there certainly would have been no 11 in going through it.
Much later that night, after I 12 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light 13 me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract we all have with each other. It’s not only the 14 but it’s an arrangement we have, and we trust each other to 15 it: we don’t go through red lights. Like most of us, I’m more likely to be 16 from doing something bad by the social convention that 17 it than by any law against it.
It’s amazing that we ever 18 cach other to do the right thing, isn’t it? And we do, too! Trust is our 19 preference.
I was so 20 of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

Ken Campbell had last attempted running at high school. When his wife, Susan, injured her foot, she needed 21 to rejoin her running group, so Campbell went along to keep her company in the 22 . “We were just walking at the beginning,” he says, “I was heavy, and weighed over 90kg.” But as the weeks and months passed, the weight 23 , Susan recovered and Campbell’s 24 grew. At the age of 63, he ran 50km, and at 70, he completed a 100km ultramarathon.
So how does someone with no 25 precedent (先例) become an ultradistance runner in his 60s and 70s? Susan had run marathons before her 26 , but for Campbell, the turning point came when Susan’s Fleet Feet running group 27 the trails in the Sierra Nevada foothills near their home.
Campbell went out to visit Susan’s group, and “the trails were a terrible 28 . It had been raining, and I was slipping, 29 and falling. But I thought, well, I like this a lot.”
What he liked 30 was the feeling of “being wrapped by the trail, being 31 by the closeness of the vegetation (植被) and the nearness of the river. I was walking where 32 people had walked for thousands of years and where miners had walked on their way to gold.”
Running the 100km ultramarathon took Campbell 16 hours. When Campbell 33 the finish line at 3 am, Susan handed him a 100km sticker to 34 on the back of his truck. He already had a 50km one on there. “It is a public statement that you are part of this 35 ,” he says. “Wherever we park, I see a line of 36 with their various stickers and I feel that we are a tribe (部落).”
Campbell suffered arthritis (关节炎) before he started running, and was “a(n) 37 for knee replacement”, but for now, he is 38 on surgery. It can 39 the running—but the “sense of wellbeing and accomplishment will carry me on forever”, he says, “If I can’t run, I will 40 .”

When I was in my final year of college, a good friend of mine was planning to visit a toastmaster(宴会主持人) club and invited me to join her. 41 I loved the idea of public speaking and hoped that the 42 would be also where I would see myself someday, I was a self-doubting person filled with pessimism, which never gave me the 43 to take that baby step.
Later, my another friend encouraged me to 44 one of the forums. 45 , I still never joined in it until I 46 . It was when I started working in a company and moved to a different city, and I was lonely that I 47 myself harder to give this forum a(o) 48 . Little did I know that it was this little forum that was really a start to bigger 49 Since then I have started to 50 the road to my career as a toastmaster gradually.
That friend doesn't know what a(n) 51 his little encouragement has made on my life. Today I am a 52 individual; pessimism no longer has the upper hand and I can 53 call myself a public speaker. I still remember when I 54 my first paycheck for my public speaking, tears weren’t enough to 55 my emotions. I have been speaking on 56 occasions to various audiences since then. Whenever I walk up to the platform, holding the microphone, I believe that I am nothing but myself.
I don’t just give a 57 to the crowd. Sometimes, I tell them a story—one that has a 58 reflection of my past pessimism, one that is related to my sincere 59 for that friend of mine and one that 60 my hidden passion and talent, which might have been forgotten had it not been for her encouragement.

On Christmas of 2017, I was born again. We like to spend our Christmas holidays somewhere warm abroad, and that year we 61 Uganda. Nature, wildlife, and sunny days were a 62 when it was so 63 and dark in Europe. Life was beautiful, and we had a rental car and a busy schedule ahead to explore the country.
This is where this short travel story turns into one of my most 64 travel experiences. At Murchinson Falls National Park, we had a car accident. I lost 65 of the car, and it rolled over, destroying windows, chassis (底盘), and the engine. But we were alive! My right arm was 66 injured, but we 67 to walk to our lodge (旅馆)，not far inside the 68 . In the lodge, I was 69 to learn that there was a pretty decent American hospital in Masindi that was just a one-hour drive away. Moreover, one of the lodge’s guests was a nurse who 70 to the wound while we were waiting for the taxi. The hospital took care of us and after a couple of injections and stitches (缝合), I was 71 to head to our new hotel in Masindi; however, my wound required daily 72 and more injections, so we were 73 to stay in town for a few days.
The town’s highlights were the market and our 74 visit to the hospital, so we 75 looking for the small things, 76 mod with the medical staff and the people in the market, and learning more about their customs.
We learned to slow down. When we were allowed to 77 we took a road trip through the country to see something else. We did not care about our travel bucket 78 anymore—we were 79 , and we wanted to enjoy Uganda’s unique nature and its people. In the end, our Uganda trip was not about the places that we saw, but the people that we met. It was travel for 80 more than sightseeing.

American author Gary Hopkins tells us, “A suitable apology can be a wonderful thing, so long as it is from the heart.” However, an apology is 81 to make.
A few years ago, I was a guest 82 at a conference for professional trainers. I was well 83 , knowledgeable about the topic, and I felt confident as I 84 my speech. But afterwards, an experienced female delegate 85 me. We exchanged a few greetings, and then she dropped something unexpected on me. She said, “Do you know how many times you 86 , from the moment you 87 to the microphone until the moment you left the stage?” “Sorry, I don’t know,” I replied. “Nine times,” she said. “And all of them were unnecessary.” I was 88 . It was the first time someone had ever made me 89 my “sorry habit.” So what was the first word out of my mouth 90 ? “Sorry!” We both burst out laughing.
Of course, apologies shouldn’t be 91 that way. This incident raised my awareness of how we routinely use apologies. I know 92 to apologize is a big mistake as we’ve made a mistake or wronged someone else. How to do it? First and foremost, we need to understand real apologies or wholeheartedly saying “sorry” is 93 . It’s like a big 94 into a relationship account and there’s no alternative for it. Actually, there are 95 apologies, which are tools of dodges (搪塞). They are awful and we should stop them. 96 , habitual apologies are an unnecessary automatic response, as I ever made at the conference.
Generally, over apologizing 97 to happen when there’s a lack of 98 in your position, which will make others 99 you or even get unhappy. So we need to use apologies 100 and our attitude must be sincere. Refusing to apologize is a big mistake, and so is over apologizing.

People say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. That 101 comes to me as I 102 the house purchased in 1962 by my parents. My mother passed away in 1996. My father left the house 103 my sister and me when he died a few months ago.
After Dad was 104 , we looked around the 105 house where we grew up and that Dad loved so much. At first we feel so 106 at all the stuff left. Like so many of their generation, my parents 107 everything. And like many in my generation, we faced anxious 108 about what to abandon and what to keep.
As we started throwing out old phone books and every medical bill from every 109 my parents ever saw, I also 110 many hidden treasures. Mom’s pocketbook was in their bedroom closet, which had everything in it, 111 her hairbrush with hair, as if she were still here. And Dad, who was a World War II veteran(退伍兵)and a world traveler, 112 everything-from little spoons from all over the world to every letter he wrote to his parents while in the 113 . The letters he wrote during the war 114 his thoughts as a young man. Later, in the basement, I 115 our old kitchen table, which brought back 116 of my parents and sister and me having breakfast together.
I’m realizing all these things 117 my parents’ life journey. Each time I go to the 118 , I find something that reminded me of my childhood or teaches me something about my parents I 119 knew. 120 , from the shabby furniture to all the hidden treasures, means more to me than all the money in the world.

If this time last year you had told me that an exercise bike would save me, I’d have 121 you were wrong. I’d have protested that I’m not athletic at all. My coordination is lacking and my 122 is like tortoise.
In Grade 7, my physical education teacher watched me, eyebrow 123 , as I tried my best to follow the gymnastic training. “You’re doing pretty well in my class,” he said, “for someone with no 124 for sports at all.”
In high school, I wasn’t 125 for a single team. I was bookish and slow, and that 126 of being better suited to quiet reading and leisurely walks 127 with me for a long time.
I discovered jogging in my late 20s, and I enjoyed the feeling of quiet accomplishment—without the fear of 128 teammates. I tried yoga and always prioritized 129 pursuits over physical ones.
It was, 130 , my gradually worsening mental condition that finally forced me to rethink about exercising. This winter, under pandemic, I found myself 131 under the weight of exhaustion. I knew 132 had to change. I needed an outlet to release the 133 of months of online conferencing and on-and-off solo parenting at home. Jogging in the morning wasn’t enough to 134 it.
I 135 an exercise bike and hoped to have positive results. Since early March, I’ve hardly 136 a day on my bike. I’m not the fastest, but I stick to it. I’m finally learning that movement isn’t 137 about athleticism (运动才能). More than anything, it’s the feeling of accomplishment when you insist on something 138 outside of your comfort zone.
Athletes find glory in sports. For the rest of us, the 139 is more personal: better sleep, improved mood and boosted confidence. It was never about talent. That’s what I wish my physical education teacher had told me. If only he’d said, “You’re doing really well in my class. Look at your 140 .”
