3 . Everyone gets embarrassed (窘迫的) in their life. You’ve probably even been embarrassed many times today. It could have been the time when you spoke a simple word wrong in class, or tried to take a picture of someone secretly while the flash (闪光灯) was on. Though embarrassing moments like these don’t harm us a lot, they come back from time to time and make us feel upset. Even if the terrible memory may seem to be unnoticed after some time, we would always remember the feeling of strong embarrassment. In fact, these feelings may last for years. When they return, they are known as a cringe attack (羞愧综合征).

I myself get a quite uncomfortable feeling when I think back on a party my parents took me to when I was little. I ate a bowl of strawberries by myself. My parents shouted at me in front of everyone-for being impolite. From then on every time I put a strawberry into my mouth, my brain just throws that embarrassing memory back.

Why do these cringe attacks still appear in our daily lives even though the actual events happened weeks, months, or even years ago? Actually, our brains give special attention to the feelings that can be easily noticed. The stronger the feeling is, the longer the memory will be. If you have a highly embarrassing or highly emotional (情绪激动的) moment, no matter what it is, your brain will try to catch it.

So how can we deal with this? Well, we can start by trying to be more objective (客观的) about our past selves. Consider that you are not alone-everyone fails or makes silly mistakes. Instead of just trying to forget what we did, we should try to accept who we were at that moment and think about how we can change for the better.

4 . Zeng Zheng is a hearing-impaired barista (听障咖啡师) in Chongqing. Together with some hearing-impaired people, he works at a coffee shop named Yijiao Cafe, which is located at Songshan General Hospital. The name of the coffee shop was inspired by a famous children’s book called The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein. The moral of the story is that one can find happiness by accepting one’s imperfections.

Zhu Jiayun founded the coffee shop in May 2022. In September 2022, Yijiao started a free barista training program for the hearing-impaired. The program attracted Zeng and others who used to live a hard life and tried many jobs. Four out of the 15 people were then chosen to work at the coffee shop by Zhu after a strict examination. In the same month, the first Yijiao Cafe shop, located in Yuzhong district, opened its doors.

In February 2023, the second coffee shop opened in Songshan General Hospital. In just a month, the new coffee shop sold more than 3,700 cups of coffee. “For every 10 yuan made by the store, 0.1 yuan is given away to others in need,” said Zhu.

Zhu plans to open three more coffee shops in 2023. “I hope that Yijiao Cafe is more than just a coffee shop, but can also serve as a model space, where the healthy people and disabled people can make coffee, drink coffee, or live and work together.” Zhu said.

A．Stop worrying about future.	B．Your imperfection is part of your life.
