自我反思
Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track in my neighbourhood. Most people on the track are walkers, often in pairs, chatting and enjoying the fresh air, so I am faster than them. My speed seems 91 to the walkers and Ioften pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes me feel 92 .
One day,a 93 man came. He didn’ t look like much of a runner. I saw him get out of the car and 94 before running when I passed by two walkers. He seemed focused, but I didn’t think much of it. 95 ,I was used to being the fastest on the track.
He started running a few meters ahead of me. He was fast but I sped up and managed to catch up with him. “I have someone to 96 with!” said to myself. And the thought made me quite 97 . But after a lap (圈),I fell behind him and had great difficulty in 98 . After two laps, my 99 began to hurt, so I had to slow down and began to run at my 100 speed. This time I could breathe again without sounding like I had a lung disease (肺病) and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, he was far ahead. He was too fast for me to follow.
That day,I learnt several 101 . In life, there will always be those slower and faster. Some have natural 102 , such as the short man, and some have trained harder. Don't judge the capacity(能力) of a person by how he or she 103 .
The point is that we each have our own 104 . Catching up with others blindly can lead to 105 , hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Slow down or speed up, but run your race to your best. Don’ t run fast when you should be running slowly. Don't run at all when you should be walking. Don't walk when you should be running.

勤学善思
I was sitting in the classroom, nervously knocking my pencil against the desk as I waited for the start of the English exam.
As the bell rang, 31 the beginning of the exam, my heart began to 32 fast. I opened the exam paper and 33 the questions, and I felt a moment of fear. The questions seemed foreign, and the topics unfamiliar. I 34 wrote down my answers, hoping that they would be correct. But as the minutes went by, I realized I couldn’t seem to make sense of the questions before me. As the final bell rang, I handed in my paper with a heavy heart.
In the following days, I couldn’t 35 the feeling of failure that hung over me like a dark cloud. But in the sadness, a realization began to appear — I had failed, yes, but I had also learned 36 lessons along the way.
37 is not final, failure is not fatal (致命的): it is the courage to continue that counts. Full of this newfound wisdom, I confirmed that I would do better next time. I threw myself into my studies with great 38 , lost in books and papers.
39 the time came to retake the exam, I was ready. I answered each question 40 , drawing upon the lessons I had learned from my past 41 .
When the 42 were announced, I held my breath. And there it was — my name, shining brightly among the list of 43 students. At that moment, all the hard work, all the late nights and early mornings, were 44 it.
And as I look back on that sunny afternoon in the classroom, I am thankful for the lessons it taught me, and the person it helped me become 45 hard work.

Days ago, my 91-year-old grandfather called me, his voice filled with unusual excitement. “Come over immediately and help me check this new hearing aid!” he said. For the first time in years, he could hear my voice clearly again. It made both of us 46 .
As I spent time with him, I gradually found out 47 reason for his happiness. It was all about Anna, the kind-hearted hearing aid service provider. My grandfather, like many 48 at his age, would get worried easily whenever his device 49 . However, Anna 50 her time and attention to him. She spent a lot of time patiently explaining 51 to use the device and visited him regularly to make sure everything was 52 . What she did went beyond her normal duty, and she refused to accept any reward 53 words as thanks.
Living in a world filled with bad news, such kindness might sound 54 nowadays, and I wondered whether it’s more common than we think. Then I came across a study suggesting people often 55 strangers to be less kind than they really are. They avoid interacting (互动) with strangers, missing chances to build connections. 56 also explained that news often focuses on bad things because humans give them more attention and complain a lot about the world.
From my grandfather’s 57 , I realized that sometimes what we hear, see, or even know might not be the 58 truth. The truth might be hidden from us, 59 us to notice and find it. We should not pay too much attention to bad news and let them surround us. 60 , we are supposed to encourage ourselves to share good news. After all, untold stories of kindness lie behind all the bad in news in people’s daily lives.

自我反思
Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track in my neighbourhood. Most people on the track are walkers, often in pairs, chatting and enjoying the fresh air, so I am faster than them. My speed seems 91 to the walkers and Ioften pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes me feel 92 .
One day,a 93 man came. He didn’ t look like much of a runner. I saw him get out of the car and 94 before running when I passed by two walkers. He seemed focused, but I didn’t think much of it. 95 ,I was used to being the fastest on the track.
He started running a few meters ahead of me. He was fast but I sped up and managed to catch up with him. “I have someone to 96 with!” said to myself. And the thought made me quite 97 . But after a lap (圈),I fell behind him and had great difficulty in 98 . After two laps, my 99 began to hurt, so I had to slow down and began to run at my 100 speed. This time I could breathe again without sounding like I had a lung disease (肺病) and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, he was far ahead. He was too fast for me to follow.
That day,I learnt several 101 . In life, there will always be those slower and faster. Some have natural 102 , such as the short man, and some have trained harder. Don't judge the capacity(能力) of a person by how he or she 103 .
The point is that we each have our own 104 . Catching up with others blindly can lead to 105 , hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Slow down or speed up, but run your race to your best. Don’ t run fast when you should be running slowly. Don't run at all when you should be walking. Don't walk when you should be running.
