My most rewarding experience in the past two years was volunteering at the swimming competition
of Special Olympics where a disabled friend of my community took part.This had special 1 for
me because experiencing it helped improve my leadership skills,develop my character,and support my
community.
Firstly,my 2 skills developed when I independently told each swimmer where to 3 at the
platform. And I 4 each competitor when they needed to swim.I had to make sure that the swimmers
were 5 and ready to compete.This kept me on my feet at all times and 6 of each event’s time
and location.I learned each swimmer’s name, 7 many of them swam in more than one event.
Secondly,my 8 was greatly influenced.When I saw the swimmers get their awards for winning
each swimming event,I was deeply moved.I was 9 by most swimmers who could swim better than I.Their
10 attitudes astonished me,whether they won or lost.This also broadened my horizons,offering me
the opportunity to 11 people I would normally not run into.I went out of my 12 zone and did
whatever was needed to be done,even if it was sometimes difficult for me.It was especially 13 when
I saw the smiling faces of the competitors.
Lastly,I was of 14 to my community by lending a hand to this organization.To be a part of
it gave me a chance to improve my community and become 15 with the people living in this area.
As Winston Churchill once said,"We make a living by what we get,but we make a(n) 16 by what
we give."The importance of 17 should be stressed throughout our life. 18 ,through the
opportunities my community has offered I was privileged to be 19 in this exciting and important
event in these competitors’ lives.I hope to be a(n) 20 again at this event in years to come.

On a Monday morning, back in 2015, I remembered parking my car outside my doctor’s clinic in
Broadwater, Western Australia. I felt 1 and I carefully practiced what I wanted to tell my doctor.
Heartbreak, sorrow and the loss of a complete family left me not coping well.
I was 2 . I had tried to pick myself up, tried to throw myself into my work as an educator
in before- and after-school care, and also tried to focus on my art. 3 these efforts, my depression
hadn’t gone away. It kept 4 like a cancer in my inner world. I wanted a normal 5 . I wanted
to be as healthy as my son, Kai, who was 6 me. I took a few deep breaths and went into the clinic
for my 7 .
After I returned to my car, I shut the door and started 8 uncontrollably. My doctor said
I had severe depression. I needed to take antidepressants(抗抑郁药). I had to make some big 9 to
get better.
Still sobbing, I was 10 to hear a knock on my car door. A slim lady with short fair hair
11 opened it and began to speak calmly and kindly to me. "I don’t know what you’re 12 right
now. But I wish you well. I believe you will be 13 and what you are going through will pass
finally," she said. "Can I give you a hug?"
There I was, a weeping mess, 14 accepting this kind stranger’s comforting hug. All I 15
to reply in a choked(哽咽的) voice was "Thank you".
This is the most significant act of 16 that I’ve ever experienced from a stranger. It gave
me hope. My 17 started right there.
About a year later, I bumped into the same 18 at the opening of an art exhibition. She 19
me and smiled. She said she could tell I was doing well. We 20 again, and once more I expressed

Two years ago,my friend and I were at college.With his birthday quickly 1 ,he came to me with
an unusual 2 :Instead of receiving presents,he wanted to do some acts of kindness.
I was 3 with such an idea. 4 instead of taking for the birthday was really different.I
asked him how he came up with such a 5 idea.He told me about a TED talk he had watched on generosity,
which had 6 him.So we started to 7 creative things we could do.
Our university employed some security guards to 8 its students.They have to work
9 ,keeping watch on every corner throughout the university. For the most part it’s a thankless
job as most people grow 10 to seeing the guards all around and eventually 11 notice their
presence,let alone acknowledging their efforts.How could we show them our appreciation?
We decided to make a large pot of hot 12 .We hired a car and asked the driver to take us
to the place on campus where the 13 would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate.The
driver was 14 a bit doubtful about the entire plan but after a while he was helping us 15
the guards and our spirit had 16 to him as well.We met with many 17 and appreciative words.It
was amazing to see how a 18 act or even an intention of generosity can lift everyone’s spirit.
I now realize that special energy is created when you choose to think bigger than yourself and
act in 19 of others. You’ll find it’s actually the greatest 20 you’ve ever got,especially
when it’s your birthday.

much of it remains inaccessible because of 42 garbage containers, health regulations, or business
policies. Only about one in ten places 43 him food that would otherwise be discarded. For legal
44 , most restaurants have a policy against 45 food waste."Some people have even 46 their
jobs by giving me food," Dubanchet said.
What’s 47 interesting is the attitude various cities have toward Dubanchet’s cause. Berlin
has been the 48 while the most difficult was the Czech town of Pilsen. There, he had to 49
at some 50 different stores or restaurants before finding food. The 50 is all the more serious
when you consider the 51 exercise required to bike from France to Poland.
"I have to get food 52 because after all the biking I am tired and I need the 53 ,"Dubanchet
explained. "Is my 54 full or empty? That is the most important thing, not what I am eating."

Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit
organisation, On Point for College. Although the 22 asks the members only to drive students to
and from their classes, Wilson often goes 23 to ensure the welfare and safety of the students.
If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to 24 them. If they run out of certain
daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed. If a student
gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never 25 to buy them a meal.
For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely 26 for them
to be able to complete their college education. Some students don’t have a reliable car, while others
have to 27 vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has 28
them to complete their education — but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the 29

to a stranger’s house was a 26 move, but she decided to take the chance. "If I were in that

This one stranger responded beautifully to my small 28 , but she actually wasn’t the only
one. Right after Erin 29 my wallet on the bus, she posted a picture of my driver’s license

than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my son’s nursery and who recognized my face.
I’ve never 31 words with those moms beyond small talk, but they wanted to help. I read that
people are more divided than ever, but that’s not how the people I 32 tend to act.
33 , I feel happy someone had wanted to help a stranger. Erin had gone 34 what almost
anyone would have done, finding my house on a bitterly cold night, and for that I was extremely 35

were very 53 ."What’s his name?" I asked the instructor."Ben," he replied, and immediately I
54 . That stranger was my son!

Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she
was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man 36 out of a garbage can. She
asked her mother why he did that, and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah
was very 37 . She couldn’t understand why some people had to live their lives without shelter
or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could 38 , but, of course, there is not
a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决) the problem of homelessness.
Later, when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman, 39 an
old shopping trolley(购物车) which was piled with 40 . It seemed that everything the woman owned
was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more 41 to do something. She had been talking
to her mother about the lives of homeless people 42 they first saw the homeless man. Her mother
told her that if she did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldn’t 43 as
bad.
Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces. She
hoped to 44 her message of hope and awareness. She started the Ladybug Foundation, an organization
aiming at getting rid of homelessness. She began to 45 "Big Bosses" lunches, where she would
try to persuade local business leaders to 46 to the cause. She also organized a fundraising(募捐)
drive in "Ladybug Jars" to collect everyone’s spare change during "Make Change" month. More recently,
the foundation began another 47 called National Red Scarf Day — a day when people donate $20
and wear red scarves in support of Canada’s 48 and homeless.
There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called "Hannah’s Place", something that Hannah is
very 49 of. Hannah’s Place is divided into several areas, providing shelter for people when
it is so cold that 50 outdoors can mean death. In the more than five years since Hannah began
her activities, she has received a lot of 51 . For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award
recognizing the 52 of young people to change the world. But 53 all this, Hannah still has
the 54 life of a Winnipeg schoolgirl, except that she pays regular visits to homeless people.
Hannah is one of many examples of young people who are making a 55 in the world. You can,
too!

During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering
a "free" course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I 41 the idea of taking the class
because, after all, who doesn’t want to 42 a few dollars? More than that, I’d always wanted
to learn chess. And, even if I weren’t 43 enough about free credits, news about our 44 was
appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which 45 I would be learning from
one of the game’s 46 . I could hardly wait to 47 him.
Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 48 was
no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 49 that our credits would
be hard-earned. In order to 50 the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how
we plan to 51 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, 52 , to our lives.
I managed to get an A in that 53 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the
54 .
Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I’m still putting to use what he 55 me: "The
absolute most important 56 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 57 . On
every single move you have to 58 a situation, process what your opponent(对手) is doing and 59
the best move from among all your options." These words still ring true today in my 60 as a

we were defeated. I couldn’t 21 I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came

I started doing anything I could to help them build a little 25 . Most important, I began
to treat them like 26 . That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their 27 , we met every day
and 28 passing and kicking the football.
Six months after suffering our 29 on the spring practice field, we won our first game and
our second, and continued to 30 .Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that
it would be a 31 for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat
the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest 32 of my life!
From the experience I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 33 the members

to blame for Miller’s 49 .
One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller 50 going over a fence
— which wasn’t 51 to climb if you had both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world
he wanted to accept 52 from. But even that challenge he accepted. I 53 him move slowly over

文章讲述了作者以 Miller 为榜样,通过刻苦训练实现了成为学校足球队的明星球员的目标,在 Miller 出
车祸失去右臂后,作者曾经自责,但最终继续向身残志坚的 Miller 学习,不断成长。
41.B 由文章首句可知,"我"13 岁时唯一的目标就是成为学校足球队的明星。结合下文的"Miller King, who
was the best"可推断出 Miller King 是"我们"学校最出色的足球运动员(player),而实现"我"的目标就意味着
打败(beating out)他。

blame "存在转折关系,故用 but。- 47 -

了车祸,故这里选 accident。

围栏, 被卡住了动不了。

52.C 就在九月前 Miller 出了车祸,只能看比赛无法上场,而"我"却在场上破了他所有纪录,还被提名 most

54.D 在"我"的帮助下,"我们"最终安全地翻越到了另一边。
