3. 走出舒适区，发现了更有创造力的自己。

The ____16____ was exactly what I had been looking for, but I was still shaken by my manager’ s lack of confidence in me. A few sleepless nights later, I decided that taking a chance on the ____17____ was better.
I soon discovered a new ____18____. My career path within the company opened up. I took on more responsibilities and led fantastic projects—all because of a change that had felt ____19____ on me.

4. 牧羊犬保护小企鹅
On a small island called Middle Island near the Victorian coastal town of Warrnambool, sheep dogs are hard at work protecting little penguins (企鹅).
Middle Island is a ___1___place for little penguins. 30 years ago, it was home to thousands of penguins, but by the late 90's that number had halved and by 2005 there were only four birds ___2___.
At ___3___tide (潮汐), Middle Island becomes accessible to an introduced species, the European red fox, with terrible ___4___. The foxes did great damage to the island. So, Allan Marsh, a local chicken farmer, ___5___that sheep dogs should be used to ___6___the penguins.
“The whole idea was taking a farming practice of having dogs protecting your farm animals and then ___7___them to the island where the penguins ___8___that were being constantly ___9___by foxes,” Marsh said.
Sheep dogs have been protecting animals for centuries. Sheep dogs live with them, ___10___social bonds. The Warrnambool City Council ___11___the idea and Marsh stayed on the ___12___ with his sheep dog, Oddball, for the first week during the month-long ___13___. “It did what I hoped it would do ___14___,” said Marsh. “The ___15___ of the dog kept foxes from ___16___the island.”
The project has been ___17___ever since and the penguin population on the island continues to ___18___. It is now about 180 little penguins returning to Middle Island.
When the dogs have been on the island, there has been no ___19___on the island. So we know the dogs work. It's ___20___,” says Trish Corbett of the Middle Island Penguin Project.

14. 人生感悟
When I was a child, I was always climbing up the conker tree in our back garden or tackling oaks (橡树) in Epping Forest. And I’ve never lost the ____1____.
Writing the Wolf Brother books about stone age hunter-gatherers kept it ____2____. On a research trip to Bialowieza Forest in Poland, I climbed a lime tree that had survived a lightning ____3____ a few years before. The tree was growing well, the rope-like scar down its ____4____ making it temptingly climbable; I put it in one of my ____5____. And in the Taygetos mountains in Greece I shinned up a tree rather ____6____ to avoid a wild boar (野猪) with piglets.
I didn’t ____7____ to climb more trees during lockdown; it just happened. I live on Wimbledon Common, and over the summer I was in the ____8____ by dawn most days. Climbing the odd tree has been a(n) ____9____ from worrying about my 89-year-old mother. I’ve never been so ____10____ to live near woods, or so conscious that many people don’t.
My favourite trees for climbing are some secluded (僻静的) oaks with low branches for that tricky first hoist (拉高), as well as one ____11____ enormous beech (山毛榉树) that is difficult, but worth it. Wild creatures don’t expect people to climb trees, and they often don’t ____12____ I’m there. I’ve had close ____13____ with bats, crows, ____14____ little goldcrests, squirrels and, of course, the trees themselves: lichen-crusted branches, faces in the bark.
When I’m feeling ____15____ or low, being up a tree gives me perspective: it has lived ____16____ than me and seen it all. Tree climbing is also brilliant for solving writing problems. It doesn’t give me the answer ____17____ it helps me see the question I should be asking. I’m very keen ____18____ owls, and during the summer, two tawny owlets practised flying from a pair of lime trees close to my house. If that’s ____19____ next year, I’d love to be up a nearby tree when they do it. An owl’s-eye view of the woods at dusk— that would be ____20____.
