【推荐1】A proverb says, “Time is money”. But in my opinion, time is even     1     precious than money. Why?       2     when money is spent, we can earn it back.

But it is a pity that there are a lot of people         7     do not realize the value of time. They waste their precious time smoking, drinking and playing. In     8    word, we should form the good habit of     9     (save) time. Do not put off what can be done today     10     tomorrow.

The game of Go (围棋) is an important board game with origins in China from more than 4,000 years ago. In China, Go     1     (recognize) as “hand conversations” as well, through which players communicate with each other.     2       other words, they “talk” through the placing of pieces on the board. The metaphor (比喻) first     3     (use) by Zhi Daolin, a Buddhist master of the Jin Dynasty, reflects the nature of the game. While scholars of his time often lost     4    (they) in philosophical (哲学的) debates on life and universe, he preferred to play Go     5     he believed was full of hows and whys of life.

Master Go players often feel as if they were playing a real-life game: sometimes one can move forward, while at other times, one must slow down: sometimes one can     6     (direct) face the challenger, at other times one must take an indirect approach. Appropriate placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to     7     one might solve a difficult problem of life. The purpose of     8     (play) Go is not just to win but also, more importantly, to seek     9     (wise) through the process. The players unite with each other on the board. Instead of fighting as     10     (enemy), they cooperate to play a good game. One thoughtless move could ruin the enjoyment.

When we’re young, we fearlessly dream about what our lives might be like. Since I    1    (be) very young, I have dreamed of working for the United Nations in some of the most troubled    2    (country) in the world. And thanks to a lot of courage, that dream finally came true.

But here’s the thing about courage: It doesn’t just appear whenever we need it. It’s the result of tough    3    (consider) and real work, involving the balance    4     fear and bravery. Without fear, we’ll do foolish things. And without courage, we’ll never step into     5    unknown. The balance of the two is where the magic lies, and it’s a balance we all deal with every day.

I was diagnosed with a disease called HIBM three years ago, which affected all my muscles from head to toe. It was frightening news, because I had no idea how the disease might progress. But what was     6    (incredible) discouraging was listening to other people advise me     7    (limit) my ambitions and dreams. So, I ignored them and continued to pursue my dream of working all over the world.

Life is already    8    (scare), so to make our dreams come true, we need to be brave. In facing my fears and     9    (find) the courage to push through them, I swear my life has been extraordinary. So live big and try to let your courage outweigh your fear. You never know     10    it might lead you in the life journey.

In the final, Su Bingtian ran his personal best of 6.42 seconds, breaking the Asian record of 6.43, which he also     5     (set) last month in Germany.
