I always hoped I could give some life lessons to help my students live happy lives. Unexpectedly, it was a student who taught me a(n) 1 life lesson.
I began that day as I had begun most days that school year: 2 and burnt-out. One of my classes was particularly 3 , and I was tired of instructing a group of students who seemingly did not 4 study. I did not know if I could continue to teach. I was 5 about my future.
Near the end of the class, when I 6 back the graded paper to Jill, she read my 7 , smiled up at me, and said, “This will be one of my three good things for today.”
Never hearing that expression, I asked what it 8 . She explained, “Every night, I think of three good things happening that day. A good thing does not 9 have to be something big or important. What 10 is that I end my day focusing on what is positive.”
Honestly, I was embarrassed. A sixteen-year-old student had just taught me a life 11 that I badly needed. I decided 12 to start practicing the “three good things” habit. That night, I was surprised to find that I had no 13 coming up with three positive things.
Throughout the years, I have 14 to focus on “three good things”. When life gives me challenges, I face them with a more positive 15 , thanks to some good advice from someone who called me teacher.

Whether you live around the corner or across the world, using the right social media technology can improve your relationships with your friends. Here is how I reconnected with my friend with the 16 of information technology.
During a recent visit to Toronto, I had a chance to see an old friend I hadn’t 17 in years. We hadn’t 18 : We’d just got jobs, got married and got kids in 19 cities. Most of the time we were 20 , and we didn’t have a lot of time for phone calls. But when we did talk on the phone, we 21 sharing our true feelings. We did e-mail each other regularly. However, lack of face-to-face meetings made me 22 about reaching out. But I decided to give it a try and 23 an e-mail — and received a positive 24 to the possibility of a coffee date. Within five minutes of sitting down together, we were back to the same level of 25 that had built our original friendship. 26 , we had better talks than before.
Thanks to my right 27 , we contacted with each other again in the real world. Also, staying 28 by phone or e-mail has played a key role. The beauty of these new tools is that they make it 29 to maintain and improve friendships — but you should 30 the part that matters: the emotional connection.

Borbón first arrived in El Delgadito as a young man in 1980. “Back then, mangroves (红树林) were just branches in the way of navigating to go fishing. I had no idea of their 31 ”, he recalls.
By the time he permanently 32 this fishing community in the early 2000s, he was hearing 33 of overfishing, which also caused the 34 of mangroves. His daughter, who was away at university, told him: mangroves are 35 powerhouses as habitat and carbon sinks. The trees he had 36 paid any attention to before became the only focus of his attention.
For over a decade, Borbón and his wife have led the local residents to 37 mangroves with dedication, experimentation, and plenty of 38 . Today, they have a team of over 20. It is paid 39 —the only of its kind in this area that isn’t from fishing. It takes just a second to plant a young tree, and over the past 12 years they’ve planted about 1.2 million and watched stretches of bare sand transform to 40 . “The mangroves we plant 41 life. We expand the possibilities of helping nature by 42 them to naturally repopulate and recover.” Borbón says.
Their team members range in age from 19 to 60, but the majority are youth. “Our 43 is more with the younger than the older generations.” explains Borbón. “ 44 habits isn’t easy for the old. But the young people are learning. They’re the 45 of everything, to continue with the mangroves.”

I showed up as a member of the genetic (基因学的) group and met the geneticist, Lindon Eaves. He didn’t have 46 appearance. However, he impressed me with his great passion for research work and unique way of viewing 47 .
One day, we discussed some complex aspects of 48 analysis. Eaves pulled his hands up, almost shouting, “Sometimes you can’t confirm the best hypothesis (假设) 49 , and then you just have to 50 it out!” He said so excitedly — with great 51 and a thick accent — that I’ve never forgotten his words.
I’d 52 science was a reasonable, clear process, but Eaves taught me science was messy. You could 53 some facts, but it was difficult to understand what they really meant. So Eaves told us to 54 one theory after another until we got a model that could explain the facts best. Eaves meant using intuition (直觉) and imagination — giving up our logic and getting 55 .
Eaves never 56 any popular idea just because it was popular. He claimed that a scientist has to be a contrarian (叛逆者). It was because the truth isn’t necessarily the majority 57 .
After the course, I took great pleasure in doing scientific research. Eaves 58 me that scientific research is important, exciting, and worthwhile. I gave Mr. Eaves 59 for his instruction and enlightenment. As Henry Adams once wrote in his book, “A teacher 60 forever; he can never tell where his influence ends.”

It was 2017 when the accident occurred. That day it started to rain when I 61 to stop just inches from the car ahead. Before I sighed with 62 , my car was hit hard from behind.
63 , I was unharmed and stepped out to 64 the situation. The girl who had hit me was in tears. She 65 to me and explained that her brakes had taken longer to 66 because of the slippery road. Minutes later, a policeman 67 and directly issued the girl a ticket for “failure to control speed”, and several other offenses, which could have led to the 68 of her license. The girl was extremely upset, but she was helpless against the result. I comforted her that it wasn’t her 69 and promised to help.
Two weeks later, I received a notice to appear as a witness in the girl’s trial (审讯). Although it wasn’t required, I decided to seek 70 . Upon seeing me in court, the girl appeared quite 71 . I recounted the incident 72 , saying neither of us was speeding and that the road was exceptionally slippery. I also 73 the girl wasn’t to blame.
When I finished speaking, the courtroom erupted into applause, and the judge praised me for 74 my citizen’s duty. After careful consideration, he dismissed the 75 against the girl. I believe whoever encounters such a case would do the same.

Sometimes, good news appears in small amounts in life. By holding onto a positive secret, even 76 , you can heighten its inspiring power for all parties involved.
Last year, a famous shoe company launched a new pair of sneakers (运动鞋). My daughter, a sneaker-head, was 77 to acquire a pair on the release day. However, it’s widely known that these highly sought-after items would 78 rapidly. So, without disclosing my 79 , I downloaded the company’s app and entered the draw (抽奖). While my daughter’s attempt failed, 80 favored me and I won a pair in her size.
Wrapping up this hard-to-get present filled me with 81 for the “big reveal (揭露)” on my daughter’s birthday. Also, 82 this secret over the course of several weeks continually brought me joy. Finally, judging from my daughter’s 83 shouts when she tore off the wrapping paper, I could 84 that she was extremely amazed by the unexpected gift. Meanwhile, her 85 made me glad that my decision had been the right one.
People occasionally go to great lengths to 86 a positive surprise in secret. This kind of surprise can be greatly enjoyable, 87 surprise is often a brief emotion. Nevertheless, what truly matters is that we are given the chance to 88 the joyful surprise on another person’s face. It enables you to 89 this moment, even if only in our own minds. In a world full of uncertainty, promoting positive emotions through keeping a delightful secret can truly 90 our days.

My mum says I should spend more time playing outside where I can 91 some fresh air. She warns me that I am getting 92 to the computer. But what I like is that my friends and I can send instant messages (IM), text or 93 each other,
One day I got an IM from a(n) 94 who called himself Bradley. I found that we both loved computer games. Then we 95 and emailed every day. He was interesting and smart — much smarter than the 96 teenagers I knew.

The policemen caught him and drove him to the police station. From this experience, I realized that friends should 103 more face-to-face communication, and less online 104 .

Kashif Hoda was waiting for a train when a young man asked him for directions. Mr. Hoda was 121 by the man’s thick-framed glasses, but he did not realize that they were smart glasses and that a small white light indicated that they were 122 .
A few minutes later, the same man, a Harvard junior named AnhPhu Nguyen, 123 him again and asked, “Do you 124 to work on community issues ”
Mr. Hoda was 125 . He currently worked in biotechnology but had previously been a journalist 126 social matters.
“I’ve read your 127 before,” Mr. Nguyen said. “That’s super cool.”
They shook hands before Mr. Hoda 128 his train, still processing how strange the 129 had been. A week later, he found out just how strange: he had been a guinea pig in an experiment. Mr. Nguyen and a fellow Harvard student, Caine Ardayfio, had built glasses used for identifying 130 in real time, and had 131 them on two “real people” at the subway station, including Mr. Hoda. Now the two students asked Mr. Hoda for his 132 to feature him in a video, and he agreed, believing it to be an important demonstration of what new technology could achieve. The video went viral.
Mr. Nguyen explained in an interview that their system relied on widely 133 technologies. “All the tools were there.

A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a 136 in their front teeth: which, it’s unbelievable, 137 cracking the seeds”, he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he 138 it, I suddenly realized whenever I’m watching TV or 139 a report. I always mindlessly cracked sunflower seeds. My friend is unable to 140 why one works so much just to get one small 141 .
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. I remember my parents would be in the 142 cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be 143 , complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumping fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. I must have 144 how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to 145 one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how 146 they may seem. Not only in China. I find people 147 have all sorts of habits when it comes to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it 148 your breath. They think it’s a delicacy, which is 149 to their culture. I think it’s a wonderful 150 .

Every child got a part in our annual pageant (盛会). I always wanted to be 151 to play Mary—the star of the show. This year, when Pastor Buckley chose some other girl as Mary—again—and gave me a 152 to open with, I got down to learning it right away. Maybe I wouldn’t be the star, but if I worked hard enough, I could come 153 . Surely reciting (背诵) a poem alone at the microphone would get the audience’s 154 .
“Gentle Jesus...” I 155 as I lay in bed at night. “Look upon a little child...” I mumbled (咕哝) into the bathroom mirror with my mouth full of toothpaste. I 156 myself on stage, the audience clapping.
On the big night, during the first half, I recited the poem 157 . Suddenly, my mind went 158 . I stood there for what seemed like forever before returning to my seat with 159 . So much for being a(n) 160 .
I was hardly aware of the pageant that followed. But when Mr. Buckley announced it was over, the 161 words came to me out of nowhere. “I remember!” I 162 .
Mr. Buckley looked my way and 163 . He reintroduced me. I took my 164 on stage, and recited the poem from start to finish. The room burst into thunderous applause, not just for my recitation, many told me later, but for my 165 in trying again.

When they got to the beach, they 167 nobody was in the water and that the waves were huge.

As they 169 their shoes, the boy stopped and stared at them. “We thought it was kind of 170 , but he was just a little kid. So we ran into the water.” Elliott recalled.

One gift I’ll always remember is a simple reminder of the good things in life from my daughter, Hannah.
It happened when Hannah was ten years old. She hadn’t been feeling well for several days before things took a(n) 181 turn. She had a high fever and breathed 182 . My wife, Cathy, and I 183 her to the local hospital, where doctors quickly 184 that she was in a dangerous state.
As doctors 185 to save her, I held her hand with tears, wondering if she would 186 . After what seemed to be centuries, she started to respond to the treatment. It was fortunate that Hannah recovered 187 .
During her stay in the hospital, she 188 to look after herself to reduce our concern. Despite that, Cathy and I were caught in the 189 that our lives were never going to be the same as before.

My cat Boom was getting more fleas (跳蚤). On closer 211 , his skin was red and swollen (肿胀的). So, I called the vet’s office and made a(n) 212 to get Boom some help.
That morning, I started to get him into his carrier to take him to the vet. As with most cats, this task usually took a lot of time and effort to 213 . To my surprise, Boom didn’t 214 much resistance (抵抗). Initially, I linked this 215 directly to the severity of the flea-caused suffering. Looking back, I’d like to believe it all part of a bigger 216 .
Upon arrival at the vet, the vet immediately examined him and 217 that he was allergic (过敏的) to the saliva (唾液) of flea bites. I was given some medicine and all seemed right.
Suddenly, my phone 218 urgently (急切地) with an incoming call, and to my shock, it was the police on the line, 219 me of a fire at my house. I hurried home only to see some furniture 220 across the room by the force of an explosion (爆炸). A firefighter explained what he believed had happened, including the 221 of the event. It turned out the fire started in old wires. He was convinced that if I had been at home, I’d have had little chance of 222 .
His words 223 a surge of feelings within me. According to the timeline the firefighter told me, the fire started 224 after Boom and I went to the vet together. Had it not been for his rare cooperation, I’d have been trapped. And if he hadn’t had an allergy to flea bites, we wouldn’t have gone to the vet. So, I 225 my life to those tiny, unwanted fleas.

There is one patient that Sarah Rose Black still thinks about. Back in 2019, the nursing team at a cancer centre in Toronto asked if she could 226 to a patient who had been there for about a week. The man seemed to be 227 and was unwilling to engage with staff or be part of any activities. “They told me, ‘He is unsocial and 228 , and we wonder if you might have a talk with him.’”
Black isn’t a doctor or a nurse. She’s the on-staff music therapist (治疗师). On any given day, she might see one person who is 229 about an upcoming procedure. Another who is 230 pain and in need of relief. Or she might 231 someone, like the man in the center, who doesn’t yet know he needs her.
On a wintry Wednesday afternoon, Black 232 the patient and introduced herself. She asked if she could play some music. After some 233 urging, the 70-something man, who had a severe disease, told her a few classical composers he liked and then 234 to look out of the window. But as she started to play one of his favorites, he turned towards her and started to cry with his arms unfolded. “It was as if the 235 went places that nothing else could,” 236 Black. “He shared with me afterward that he had 237 himself so much and had been unable to talk about anything, but the music showed up at a moment when it felt like a(n) 238 .”
Music can have a profound effect on helping sick people. Finding those meaningful moments is the therapist’s role, but as Sarah Rose Black notes, people have been 239 with music for their whole lives — she is just helping them 240 it again at a time when they need it most.
“We have a heartbeat, so we have a drum inside us; we are wired to be musical people,” Black says.

Travel is not just about visiting new places, but also about understanding the world around us and reflecting on our own lives. In the UK, travel is an enriching life experience, because it is not simply a pursuit of 241 but also “character-building”.
Most of the people I know here at university experience the desire to travel and escape the burden on us. But I don’t think, as UK students, we can blame our addiction to international travel simply on a(n) 242 life. Yes, I have a lot to handle and it’s a fine 243 act managing my part-time job, my degree and my social life to a perfect level. In a truly open world, we can get anywhere, see anything and experience every culture under the sun, at the click of a button, the purchase of a ticket.
Many people I met while working in China were surprised at the number of countries I’d travelled pared to friends and family, I consider myself vastly 244 . I’ve never set foot across the pond in the US and Canada, let alone South America and even within Europe my checklist of destinations is far from 245 . I was also met by 246 at how little travelling I had done within my own borders. This was something I had not really considered before. How much of my own country had I really seen and experienced To those from a place as vast and varied as China, Britain was really so small in comparison, and so to have spent 20 years there and not seen every part of it was quite surprising.
I had a(n) 247 with a Chinese colleague over the reasoning behind our use of golden Cotswold stone which sounds dull for most people. As a student of history, I found anything historical fascinating. 248 , it was not the stone within British cities I found interesting. What was curious was that it was something I had never even considered, and yet here was someone 249 something I had simply taken for granted.
We continued our discussion, yet I was left embarrassed that I could not answer her question. In China, as well as a wealth of new culture that 250 me, I discovered that there were parts of the UK’s culture, history, the very structure of my identity that were so different, so unique from China that I also gained a newly found interest in my own 251 .
In this respect, travelling enables you with two things. Firstly, you develop a fascination with new cultures, understanding customs, experiencing cuisines and 252 the sights and smells of every new city. For many companies, this 253 to new locations is seen as tremendous in your personal resume. But besides increased 254 , through international, cross-cultural conversations, you develop an interest in your own history, culture, and customs. You return to your home filled with an understanding of other people’s fascination with it and your own sense of love for its 255 .

My children were beginning college themselves after years of 272 , when something inside me 273 , “It’s time.” I hadn’t 274 myself first for over a decade. I had no idea that not only would I finish my 275 , but I would also lose 150 pounds in the process!
My weight had 276 as my self-confidence sank under the pressure of being the mother of two wonderful yet 277 children. Often I didn’t feel as if I had the answers, and I worried I was 278 at everything.

That day I went home and 280 the most hated pieces of “fat” clothing from my closet. I vowed to 281 it slowly with only clothes I would be proud to be seen wearing. I began to exercise, and I tried low-fat food. Bit by bit, the weight 282 . For the first time, I felt 283 . If I could lose weight, I could do anything! My confidence had returned!

In 2016, seventh-grade history teacher Kelsea Turner gave her students 20 percent of their class time to work on a service project.
Along with his classmates, Adom Appiah 286 a theoretical (理论的) way to give back to their community — which he soon turned into a(n) 287 nonprofit!
