When I was a high school student. I was faced with the world with the innocence that only comes with youth. I had always been fascinated by the idea of learning a new language, but I had never truly understood the challenges involved. That was until one day, when I decided to take the risk and learn Spanish.
It all started when I visited my cousin in Spain. Watching her effortlessly communicate with locals in their native language. I was filled with envy. I realized that, despite my ability to speak English and a little French, I was still missing an important tool: a deep understanding of another major language.
So, I did what any determined teenager would do: I set out to learn Spanish. I downloaded language-learning apps, bought textbooks, and even signed up for private classes, Actually, it was not easy. The grammar rules were different, the vocabulary unfamiliar, and the pronunciation challenging.
But I refused to give up. I spent hours listening to Spanish music and watching Spanish-language movies. I role-played with my teacher, speaking aloud and making mistakes, Gradually, the language started to feel more natural. Months passed, and my hard work began to pay off. My Spanish improved, and I felt confident enough to try speaking it in real-life situations. The first time I ordered a meal in Spanish in a restaurant, I felt like an explorer conquering a new land.
Now, when I look back on that version of myself. I can’t help but feel proud, It might have taken months of hard work and late night study sessions, but in the end, the journey was more than worth it. It has given me a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me.

Like millions of other parents, Emily Hobey drops her son at day care before she heads to work every morning. But what makes her mornings different from other parents’ mornings. is that she gets to leave her one and-half-year old in a day, care center run by her employer, Whirlpool.
The day care, called the Eddy, is located at the company’s global headquarters in Benton Harbor. Mich. - a five minute drive away from her office at the company’s North America Headquarters building. “Every day there is a safe environment waiting for him with great teachers,” said Hobey. “And we can really depend on that.”
A small but growing number of workplaces are offering on site day care for their employees, according to data from network The Best Place for Working Patents, which covers over 600 businesses of varying sizes and services.
The organization has tracked how many businesses within its network offer on site child care since right before the pandemic (疫情). In 2020. the Best Place for Working Parents found that 8.5 percent of those companies offered on-site child care. That number grew to 11.9 percent in 2021, fell slightly to 11.4 percent in 2022 and climbed to 13.9 percent this year, a network spokesperson said.
A 2022 survey from McKinsey & Company found that 45 percent of mothers with children aged 5 or younger who left the workforce during the COVID-19 cited child care as a major reason for their departure. And 24 percent of mothers with children 5 years old or younger said they considered reducing their work hours or switching to part time work because of child care. Only 14 percent of fathers said the same.
Like Whirlpool, many workplaces offer on site day care to help make their companies more attractive to employees. Research also shows that when companies offer on-site child care, workers are happier at their job and are less likely to leave. This has been the case at clothing company Patagonia. which has offered on site child care since 1983, Hilary Dessouky, general counsel at Patagonia, said that the on-site child care has resulted in almost 100 percent of mother’s returning to work after maternity leave (产假).

There are more than 57 million amputees (截肢者) worldwide and only about 5percent of them have access to prosthetic (假肢) care and technology. Those who do have access to prosthetics are often burdened with an inconvenient fitting and training process. high price tags of up to $80,000, and long wait times of more than a year.
Despite the cumbersome (繁琐的) user experience present in the current prosthetics industry, there has been little structural change in the market for more than 50 years. experts say. The global prosthetics industry was valued at $6.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow to $8.6 billion by 2028.
But a small prosthetics company called Unlimited Tomorrow in Rhinebeck, N. Y. , is shaking up the situation.
Unlimited Tomorrow was founded in 2014 by robotics genius Easton LaChappelle. When LaChappelle was 14 years old. he created a control-glove-operated bionic (仿生) hand and entered it into the Colorado State Science Fair. LaChappelle’s project caught the eye of a 7-year old amputee who was wearing a bionic prosthetic. LaChappelle learned that her prosthetic, which wasn’t much more difficult than the science project he created in his bedroom. cost $ 80,000. He spent the next few years researching how he could improve the current state of the prosthetics industry. When LaChappelle was 18, with the help of Tony Robbins, author and philanthropist (慈善家), who was interested in investing in LaChappelle’s idea. Unlimited Tomorrow was established.
Unlimited Tomorrow’s star product is called TrueLimb, a super cool 3D printed robotic arm! “Basically, it’s like a robot hand.” says LaChappelle. What’s awesome is that TrueLimb isn’t one size fits all—each one is made special for each person.
Unlimited Tomorrow sends a special 3D scanner to their customers. People can use it at home to scan their arm. Once they get that scan, the smart engineers at Unlimited Tomorrow make a perfect socket filled with special sensors for the individual amputee. Then, they use a 3D printer to make the personalized TrueLimb. Hundreds of people are already using these amazing TrueLimbs every day!

At the time of this writing. I have reached the age of 105. As I look back. I think of the many wonderful things that have happened in my long life, many of which have served to strengthen my belief that miracles really do happen. One of these that I recall today happened many years ago but is still as fresh in my mind as if it had happened yesterday.
Peter was a Russian Wolfhound (Borzoi) with the typical tall. long-legged build of the hunter he was supposed to be but never was. He weighed close to eighty-five pounds and had the long nose and narrow head of the Borzoi. so narrow that it didn’t seem to have much room for brains. In Peter’s case, it didn’t. He became easily confused, but his gentle nature made up for his lack of intelligence.
On the day in question, I had gathered up my dogs, one Old English Sheepdog, one Whippet rescue, and Peter. They were all settled in my covered pickup truck bed, and I was headed out for our daily exercise, six miles into the country where there was no leash (绳) law and they could run free. They were all trained not to chase wild animals. to stay reasonably close, and to come when called.
After I had walked for about ten minutes, I noticed one dog was missing. Peter, of course! It seemed obvious that he had stopped to investigate some irresistible (不可抗拒的) smell, and then. becoming confused, had turned back the way we had just come, He would easily be able to follow our track, but in the wrong direction. And when a Borzoi runs, he covers a lot of ground in a very short time.
Feeling guilty. knowing I should have kept a closer watch on him. I retraced (折返) my steps, calling and whistling. but there was no sign of him. It was winter and would soon be dark. In desperation. I started to pray. “Please God. keep Peter safe.”
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After half an hour of calling at the top of my voice. I finally decided to drive the two other dogs home. Upon reaching home, I discovered a long nose waiting at the doorway.

Dear David,
I trust this email finds you well. Hearing that you have started an English choir recently, I am writing to express my keen interest in joining it.
As a Chinese student passionate about English language and culture, I believe my love for music, sight-reading abilities, and dedication as a team player would contribute positively. Confident in personal and musical growth, I see this as an opportunity to enhance language skills, cultural understanding, and singing technique.
Thank you for considering my application. Looking forward to the chance to contribute significantly to the choir’s success.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
After half an hour of calling at the top of my voice, I finally decided to drive the two other dogs home. That would leave me free to come back and hunt for Peter. At that time, I was very worried. The freeway was off to my right, and in the distance, I could hear the endless sound of speeding cars. If Peter, in his confusion, made his way onto the road, he wouldn’t have a chance. If I couldn’t find Peter before dark, I knew the chances of finding him alive were not good. A mix of anxiety and hope enveloped me on the way.
Upon reaching home, I discovered a long nose waiting at the doorway. It was Peter! Wagging his tail, Peter ran towards me. My arms encircled Peter, holding him as though I would never let him go. Relief and astonishment washed over me as I realized that somehow, Peter made it back unharmed, like a miracle. His adventure became a special story, showing that even when things are uncertain, there’s a bit of magic in life. Thinking about my 105 years, Peter’s amazing comeback stresses the strong connection between people and their furry friends.

M: Mary, I get hotel room number 13. It has a mountain view for quite a cheap price!
W: Don’t you know that number 13 is an unlucky number
M: Well, I don’t believe such things. W: But I do. I didn’t pass the driving test because my registration number was 13. M: It doesn’t make sense at all for me. You didn’t pass just because you didn’t study hard. Life is what you make it! If you believe something, it will happen!

M: Have you bought the computer game War Craft 2, Jane
W: Yeah! I bought it the day it was released. It’s a great game. There are a lot of new characters.
M: Did it cost very much
W: It cost about thirty dollars. Actually, most games cost about that much. My roommate always wants to play it. But I told her to buy her own game.
M: Well, my roommate likes to watch me play. He says it’s like watching a movie. But he never plays a computer game, saying that it’s no fun getting crazy about computer games. Instead, he puts most of his time in his studies.
W: But what he says makes sense. After all, our main work is to learn our lessons.

W: I heard there was an accident yesterday. Is that true
M: Yes, that is true. I was there yesterday. I just came out of the city museum and was on my way to the school library, and witnessed such an accident.
W: Was it terrible
M: Yes, it was. The man on the motorbike tried to overtake the car in front of him, but there was a truck coming from the opposite direction. Before he realized it, he was hit by the truck and was seriously hurt. The truck driver was just shocked.
W: What did you do when you saw the accident
M: I did nothing. I was too afraid because there was much blood. Luckily a man nearby saw this and called the ambulance, and the man was sent to hospital.
W: Well, you should be careful when riding a motorbike, or you’d better buy a car.
M: Well, at the thought of what I have seen, I feel terrible.
W: Try to forget it. Erase it from your memory.

M: Old people have worked hard all their life and should be shown appreciation and kindness. This idea of appreciating the elderly stayed in my head and I decided it was time to step up an organization to help them. So, in 2013, two years after I entered Orange High School, I founded an organization called Love for the Elderly. My interest in writing led me to create the organization, where people from all across the globe send letters filled with kindness and joy. I then send these letters to senior centers, nursing homes, and retirement communities located all across the country. Up to now, I have collected over 1,000 letters, and the response I have received from these places has been truly unforgettable. This past month, I had the opportunity to receive $100 as the prize I won in a contest. This money has been of great help for my organization. We don’t get much money from the government or other organizations, so this money helped to pay for many costs. Next, I plan to set up a food bank for old people in my city.
