When the sun rose one summer morning, Mark, a high school student, was riding his bike on the way to school as usual. He admired the attractive sights along the road with colorful flowers on both sides, and fresh air full of pleasant smell. It seemed to be a great day.
Mark was passing a park when he noticed an elderly woman walking about 100 meters ahead slowly falling down onto the ground. He felt his heart standing still with great concern. With nobody else around to turn to for help, Mark decided to ride over to see what was wrong with her for himself.
As he approached the old lady, he found her lying on the ground and looking pale and weak. Judging from her untidy clothes and messy hair, she might have been out for more than one day.
"Are you all right, Granny?" Shaking her arm, Mark asked anxiously. The old lady opened her eyes, a confused and lost expression on her face. She hesitated and then took a closer look. Immediately a big smile appeared on her face. Grasping Mark's hand, she said with shining eyes,"John, there you are at last! My son, I'm hungry...hungry...Give me food..." She repeated,patting herself on the stomach.
Not knowing what to do, Mark anxiously asked her, "Granny, where is your home? Can you tell me who your son is?" But the old lady didn't respond, only mumbling (嘟囔), "I'm hungry. Give me food, John." Obviously, she mistook Mark for her son.
All of a sudden, Mark realized the old lady might be a patient with Alzheimer's(痴呆症)disease because his own late grandpa used to suffer from such a condition. "She might have gone out without being noticed by her family. They must have been worried about her. Maybe they're searching like crazy for her everywhere. Mark thought to himself, "But she is so starved. I must give her some food before I get in touch with her family."

In a small town called Willowbrook, there was a young woman named Emma who owned a bakery. Emma was really good at baking and her delicious treats could cheer up even the most tired people.
But Emma had a problem. Sometimes, she didn't feel confident in herself and worried that her baking skills weren't as great as people said. She thought maybe she was just lucky, not talented, so she longed for an opportunity to prove herself.
One day, Emma heard about a baking competition in town called the “Sweet Delights Contest”. Since she was a little girl, she had dreamed of taking part in such contests, so she quickly signed up for it. Feeling both excited and nervous, Emma was determined to prove herself and get rid of her doubts. She worked really hard, waking up early every day to improve her recipes and skills. Her bread smelled amazing as she baked tirelessly, showing how much she cared about her craft.
Finally, the big day arrived. The town square was filled with excitement. Tables were set up with beautiful treats made by all the contestants. Emma carefully prepared her creations, but she couldn't shake off her doubts. The judges tasted each dish, and Emma's heart raced with nervousness. When they tried her treats, their faces showed no excitement. Emma felt like her doubts were right, and she wasn't as good as she hoped. Then came the moment of truth. When the host started to announce the winners, Emma listened with hope and curiosity. But when she heard the words, “And the last winner is..,” her heart sank. Her name wasn't included. She tried to smile and clap for the deserving winners, but inside, she felt disappointed.
After the contest, Emma’s bakery lost its shine. People still came, but they didn’t seem as excited as before. Emma worried that they saw her as a failure, someone who couldn't meet their expectations. Doubt took over, and her passion began to fade. But then, something unexpected happened.

POOR DAVY
It was break time at the village school, surrounded by acres of vibrant flower fields. The bell had rung, and the children had run out into the bright sunshine, wild with laughter and fun.
All the children but poor Davy. He came out last, very slowly, but he did not laugh. He was in trouble, and the bright, golden sunlight failed to cheer him up.
As he walked across the yard, his eyes fell upon the vibrant flowers that bloomed in vivid colors among the rolling green fields. All kinds of violets (紫罗兰) nodded their heads in the breeze, as if trying to cheer him up. Yet Davy’s heart was too heavy to appreciate their beauty.
He walked across the fields, and sat down on a stone behind the old maple. A little bird on the highest branch sang just to make him laugh. But Davy did not notice it. He was thinking of the cruel words that had been said about his ragged (破烂的) clothes. Tears welled up in his eyes, and streamed down his cheeks.
Poor Davy had no father, and his mother had to work hard to keep him at school.
That evening, Davy took the path home that led across the fields and through the woods. The sun was setting, casting a golden hue over the flowering meadows. But Davy’s heart was still heavy, so he walked with his head bowed.
Davy did not wish to trouble his mother; so he lingered a while among the trees, and at last threw himself on the green moss (苔藓) under them. Just then, his teacher came along. She saw who it was, stopped, and then kindly asked,“What is the matter, Davy ”
He did not speak, but the tears began again to start. “Won’t you tell me Perhaps I can help you.” she asked gently, kneeling beside him.
Then he told her all his trouble. When he ended, she said, cheerily, “I have a plan, Davy, that I think will help you.”

My younger sister and I loved to play the piano, so when the annual winter concert was canceled, we were disappointed. We had been looking forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of our best pieces. "You and your sister can perform at Carriage House Senior Living (CHSL)," my mom suggested. "The seniors there would love your music and you could each play more than just two pieces." It seemed like a win-win situation because I'd play more songs and also have the chance to cheer up the residents with some lively music.
My mom called CHSL and made arrangements for my sister and me to perform. We were told we could play the piano during the Sunday dinner hour in two weeks. In the coming days, I worked hard to polish up fifteen pieces that I thought the crowd would enjoy. My sister and I decided that first I would play three songs and then she would. We would take turns playing until the end of the hour.
When the day finally arrived, we reached CHSL, and stepped into an entryway that overlooked the big dining room. Right at the entrance to the room stood the piano. The dining area was filled with round tables. At nearly every table several gray-haired people were seated, enjoying an early dinner and the company that the crowded room provided. Regardless of the conversations going on at various tables, isolation(孤独) hung like a dark cloud in the room.
Almost immediately, we were greeted by an old woman who introduced herself as Phyllis. "You two must be here to play the piano," she said smiling. When we nodded, she seemed pleased and told someone to get a microphone. "I'll introduce you to the audience," she said. She told us that she was always the one in charge of doing things like that. I asked her if I could introduce myself and she agreed. While we were waiting for the microphone, I pressed a key on the piano and it produced a beautiful sound.

When I was a boy, I always wore turtleneck shirts because I was so sensitive and shy. I worked hard to earn exceptional marks and always tried to behave well. I was younger than everyone else because my good marks had allowed me to skip second grade, but this added nothing to my already low self-confidence.
When I was 14, my parents divorced (离婚). I moved in with my dad in a new neighborhood, but he was always so busy and had little time for me. It seemed the only time he ever spoke to me was to be demanding or critical. I began to hate coming home from school every day. I sank further into my low self-esteem (自尊心) and was overwhelmed with feeling unappreciated and alone.
One day, my aunt called. This seemed like a miracle (奇迹) to me. Aunt Ginette usually only called once a year, on my birthday. She said she had just seen some young teenagers participate in a public speaking contest, and she thought I should try it, too. She told me she firmly believed I could perform on stage like the other kids since she had seen me do skits (幽默小品) for the family at Christmas.
I was a little surprised. Me Onstage In a public speaking contest I was hesitant. But Aunt Ginette was so confident and seemed really serious. Feeling her strong belief, I went against all odds and agreed to enter the contest.
All that winter, twice a week after dinner, I took three different buses for the three-hour round-trip to practice in Ville d’Anjou, where the competition would take place. Although my dad really did love me and wanted the best for me, he disapproved of this new dream, fearing it would take away from my homework time and impact my academic performance. But I remained a top performer in school and never missed a day.

Looking around, Mark saw Billy's Hamburgers nearby. He helped the old lady rise and supported her into the restaurant. The smell of freshly cooked burgers filled the air, and the old lady's eyes lit up. Having seated her at a table, Mark ordered a burger and a drink for her. He carefully cut the burger into small pieces, making sure she didn't choke. The old lady eagerly took a bite, a big smile spreading across her face. The restaurant was filled with the chatter of customers, but Mark's focus was merely on the old lady. After feeding her, Mark took out his phone, intending to contact the police.

Soon a man returned with a microphone. Phyllis slowly made her way to the front of the crowd. My sister and I stood next to her as she announced, "These two girls are here to play the piano for us. Welcome!" As she handed the microphone to me, there was little applause. We introduced ourselves and added, "We hope you enjoy our performance." As I sat down on the bench to turn to my first song, my body shook and my heart beat fast.
My nervousness disappeared as I began the song. Surprisingly, one old woman got up and began to dance around the room. Gradually, others tapped their feet to the beat of the music. When my sister played, more people danced and smiled. Soon the dinner hour came to an end. We walked to the front of the room and bowed as the crowd applauded warmly. Later, I learned many seniors there hardly had visitors. I was glad to bring joy to them through my music.

【答案】Four months later, the big night arrived. Waiting anxiously alongside the other competitors, I couldn’t keep from trembling. Taking a deep breath, I tried my best to control my emotions, murmuring to myself, “You can do it!” Finally, it was my turn. I adjusted my clothes, confidently rose to my feet and strode (大步走) onto the stage. I stood there and firmly began my speech, which I had practiced hundreds of times. Words smoothly flew out of my mouth like a beautiful melody, and it was then that I spotted my father in the audience.
When I saw my father’s face, his eyes were shining-he was so proud. Somehow, I gained energy from his expression and finished the speech smoothly. Sitting by my dad, I waited for the result and the previous tightness was replaced by a sense of relief. Dad gently patted my shoulder, saying, “Well done,” and gave me a big hug. “I now realize how wrong I was to criticize you all the time. I should have appreciated you more.” Hearing this, tears welled up in my eyes, blurring the surroundings. It turned out I got the first prize and we cheered happily. Since then, I have looked at the world with brand-new confidence, heading toward my bright future.
