When I started korfball, I wasn’t very good at it. I could 52 and catch but I was not very fast on my feet.

Challenging exercise is always rewarding. I would like to try a 10 km run sometime, or even a half-marathon though I will 59 be a marathon runner. Seeing how happy the runners were as they 60 the finishing line made me want to have that feeling—the months of training is worthwhile at you achieve your goal.

I took the train again on Wednesday, 165 none of my new “friends” were there. Although people were polite, they weren’t nearly as friendly as the people the day before had been. I’ll never forget the day the train stopped and people started talking.

（2024·江苏淮安·三模）In our daily lives, we often follow the same routines (日常作息): getting up, going to school or work, eating, and going to bed. Sounds familiar But what if something 166 or unexpected happens That’s what I experienced one evening in April 2023 on my way home 167 work.
As I was riding my bike home in the evening, I saw a big scruffy (邋遢的) dog with orange and white fur. It looked sad and lost, 168 sitting in the middle of the road by a pedestrian crossing (人行横道). It seemed unsure of what to do as it lay down and stared at the passing traffic. 169 seemed to mind the dog either, only passing him by at a distance.
At first, I also crossed over to 170 side, hoping that somebody else would care for the dog. However, 171 that the dog might suddenly get up and walk into traffic, I decided I must do something to help the dog.
When the light 172 , I saw my chance. I used my bike to guide the dog to a street corner, blocking the way to keep it 173 from passing cars. Slowly but surely, I was able to encourage the dog to keep walking 174 finally, we both made it to the sidewalk. I messaged a dog shelter group to let them know about the dog’s whereabouts. Yet, 175 I turned to it again, the dog was gone.
Sometimes we don’t know 176 we will find or see in our daily lives. Still, what 177 is how we react to them. Despite (尽管) how shy I normally am in these 178 , I am glad I found the courage to help a dog 179 , even if just for a moment.

When I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best 196 for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother’s “helpful instructions” only managed to make me more 197 .
Since I could no longer 198 with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. I loved him, 199 I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a(n) 200 father-daughter relationship. He’d ask how school was, and I’d say it was fine. 201 , that was the most of our conversations.
As we got into the car that first time, I was not 202 about what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost 203 , besides a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would 204 the radio so I could enjoy his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about his first meeting with Mom, “basic body” gym class, and other 205 from his past.
Dad’s sudden talk was shocking until I thought about 206 he was telling me so much. In all the years, I always 207 why my father never spoke that much. I never considered it was because I had never spent time 208 . Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and I never thought my 209 father had anything to say.
Since I began driving with him, my driving ability has greatly improved. More importantly, the 210 between my father and I has also improved. Just living with him wasn’t enough—it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.

I used to procrastinate (拖延). Like many others, when developing and getting used to such a habit, I never realized how it had been 211 my life.
Several years ago, a neighbor kid kicked a football and broke a small basement window. I 212 it up then for lack of money, thinking I’d get to it someday.
Over the years, I had meant to upgrade (升级，改造) to 213 windows for the whole house, $15,000! It was simply 214 reach. In the meantime, the boarded window let in bugs but not light.
Honestly, the thought of that window 215 me for years. I knew I needed to fix it, but I had built up the process and the price so much in my mind that I had to 216 .
Then my wife had a job change, and we needed to move. I knew that it was 217 to find a buyer if there was a broken window. So I pulled off the boards, took the window out and had it 218 in the town. It was a $12 fix. I could have 219 the problem for $12 the same day it happened. But I let it trouble me for five years.
Actually, this isn’t really about my window. Many of us, especially those with 220 or stress, tend to live with broken windows of one type or another for years. They are things that seriously affect our 221 of life. Mend it as soon as possible if you 222 yours. It may turn out to be 223 than expected.
After I posted this story on Twitter, many 224 their stories with me. One responded, “This reminded me of a statement, ‘We suffer (遭受) more in 225 than in reality.’”

As a young boy, I eagerly listened to my father telling his childhood stories. The picture of him and his friends 256 to the top of a tree to fetch a bird’s nest（鸟巢）hung in my mind for quite a while. I 257 of peeking into a bird’s nest that had eggs or small baby birds inside, like my father did when he was a boy.
But that was almost 258 .
First, youngsters today are not 259 to climb trees. People think it’s too dangerous. Second, we don't have so many birds’ nests around any more. The healthy eco-system of Dad’s youth day is slowly disappearing. The 260 of bird and animal species becomes smaller every year, and some even disappear forever.
However, early one spring day, my dream came true.
It was a Saturday morning. My dad’s best friend, who I call Uncle Ben, invited us to visit his business. He sold used 261 at his shop outside the city.
It was a large parking lot, which had about one hundred cars parked on it. All around it were a lot of 262 .

I was quite 266 to be so close. I stared at the nest in amazement. It was real—a real bird’s nest with a clutch of eggs sitting 267 . “One, two, three, four.” Four little bluish-green eggs!
The nest was made of fine tree branches. It looked strong and 268 . It was beautiful! How smart the little bird was to make such a delicate nest. And how 269 it was to build the nest on the wheel for shelter in this cold Canadian weather!
Uncle Ben took a look at the eggs. He said it was a Robin’s nest. To prevent the nest from being destroyed, he 270 that we move it to a tree beside the parking lot.
We all sincerely hope that the Robin finds her new home and her baby birds.

One of my earliest memories is playing “shops” with my granddad when I was 5 years old. After 271 school at 15, I worked in a fruit shop, but I had no 272 of how to run my own shop back then.
Several years later, I got married. My husband Eric and I heard about a shop for sale in the nearby village. We had a look and decided to have a shop of our own. That was January 1973. We were a bit 273 at shopkeeping, so we often didn’t know what the 274 were asking for. But we soon learned. You can tell by the weather how 275 it’s going to be. On wet days there are very few people around, and when it’s 276 , people want bread and milk, as they’re worried about being snowed in. When it’s hot, everyone buys cold drinks and ice cream.
More people shop online nowadays, but they still come here for things 277 from their order. I’ve kept up with technology and have a card reader, but the shop itself hasn’t changed much. Now, as I’m getting older, it’s open from 7 am to 6 pm on weekdays, 278 closing at 8:30 pm. However, I open until 2 pm at weekends. Eric passed away 16 years ago, but I am 279 getting rid of the shop. I love it all—talking to the customers and getting 280 they want. There are customers who come in two or three times a day, and we see several generations of families. Customers often tell me their 281 and I offer advice if I can.
It was the 50th anniversary (周年纪念) of the shop on January 13 this year. I wanted to do something 282 , so I held a party and had drinks and nibbles (小吃) with customers. I also 283 a book about my memories in the shop. It’s called Just Ask Jenny, as I’m always the first port of call when anyone wants to know 284 .
This shop has been my life. I never 285 I’d still be here after 50 years, but I love it and the people. It’s what keeps me going, and I’ve got no plan of retiring (退休).
