Passage 1(2018滨州)
“In this life, what did you miss?”
The wife asked the husband when she was 25. Despondently (沮丧地), the husband replied, “I missed a new job chance.”
When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus.
At the age of 45, the husband sadly said,“I missed the chance seeing my close relative before his last breath.”
At 55, the husband said disappointedly, “I missed a good chance to retire(退休).”
At 65, the husband hurriedly replied, “I missed visiting my dentist.”
At 75, the wife did not ask the husband any more, she was very sick.Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time the husband asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, “In this life, I did not miss having you!”
The husband was full of tears. He always thought they could be together forever. He was always busy with work and other things. He had never thought of his wife. The husband gave a big hug to the wife and said, “Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me.”

Passage 4(2018长沙)
8
It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was complaining(抱怨) about it, three people appeared at my desk — a tired woman and two children.
“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.
“Yes,” the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.
But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending(假装) to cough.
Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please.” said the mother. I checked their charts — no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless while the hospital was warm.
The family huddled(蜷缩) together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses' station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for “a Christmas emergency(急诊)”.
We took out our meals for our Christmas “patients”. We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We tried to exceed the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, “Thanks for being our angel(天使).”

Passage 5(2018金华)
Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her... until one day a letter arrived.
He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelope(信封) over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read:
Dear Huw,
I don't know if this letter will reach you, and I don't really know why I'm writing to you after all these years, but...
Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw:
Best wishes
Megan
He couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read:
...after all these years, but I've just found your letters to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened.
Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said:“____▲____, my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.
But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyway, he's dead now, so I can't ask him. All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for...everything.
I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me, but if you do, I am still Megan Jenkins, and I still live at the same address.
Best wishes.
Megan
Huw read the letter again. Everything with Megan came back to him. He had never forgotten her. He couldn't. Every day he looked at her face on the wall. He had a drawing of her. It had traveled everywhere with him. But to hear from her again...
“Are you all right, Dad?” asked Mike, coming into the room.
