7 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When my son Ryan was six years old and in first grade, his teacher, Nancy, talked to his class about developing countries and how they could help people, particularly children, in other parts of the world. She explained that besides not having toys or enough food, some of them didn’t even have clean water. When Ryan heard people died because they didn’t have clean water, he was deeply affected. He came home that day and insisted he needed seventy dollars for class the next morning.

We thought it was very nice that he wanted to do something important, but we didn’t take it seriously. After all, Ryan was only six years old-and we just ignored it.

The next day, Ryan came home very upset because he hadn’t been able to take the seventy dollars to school. People were dying, and he insisted he needed that money.

Mark and I discussed it, then explained to Ryan that seventy dollars was a lot of money. If he was really interested in doing something, however, he could earn it by doing some chores.

He happily agreed and worked and worked and worked. With every two dollars he earned, he got to throw his money into a cookie tin. He never stopped working. He did chores for the neighbors and his grandparents, picked up brush after an ice storm-and it all went right into the cookie tin!

After four months, Ryan was nearing his goal. And we took him to a Canadian nonprofit organization providing clean water for people in developing countries.

However, Nicole, the chief director, thanked him and told him it would cost a lot more than $70 to build a well-in fact, it would cost $2,000.

注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Ryan wasn’t concerned and replied simply, “That’s okay. I’ll just do more chores!”.

It all began with a video showing a professor at a Chinese university several months ago. Standing before a classroom which     1     (fill) with eager students, she humorously said, “Princesses, please take your seats.” This video swiftly went viral on social media,     2     (cause) a fresh wave known as “princess literature”.

Actually, the word “princess” carries much     3     (important), especially for Gen Zers,     4     were brought up on “princess” stories and films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Frozen.     5     (traditional), a princess was seen by the public as     6     irresponsible and proud figure. And they were even considered as the “the Lost Generation”.     7    , many of today’s “princesses” are independent, struggling for self-worth and exploring positive values.

“The popular phrase, ‘Princesses, please xx’, was appreciated by the youth, not only for its humor but for the     8     (emotion) value it offered to us”, said a college student when interviewed.

While many of recent Chinese Internet phrases     9     tangping, or “lying flat”, and foxi, or “Buddha-like”, reflects the discouraging attitude of young people, this phrase serves as a positive way     10     (adapt) to various pressures in their lives.

9 . Your personality includes your own differences from other people in how you think, feel, and behave. You might want to improve your personality if you just moved to a new school, got a new job or because you want to be the best one of yourself. Developing your communication ability is really a necessary part if you want to develop a warmer personality.     1    

Read something every day.

A part of improving your personality is expanding (增加) your knowledge. Keep up with the current news by reading a few articles on your phone or open a novel and read a chapter or two.     2    

Develop opinions on important issues.

From your readings, begin to form your own opinions about the current events of today.     3     Now, you’ll have a chance to have something to discuss with them. But make sure you express your points with grace and logic.

Be a good listener.

When others are speaking, listen to understand them.     4     Instead, you’re supposed to truly focus on what they’re saying. Try to repeat back what they’ve said to you every few minutes so you can show that you hear them.

    5    

To make deeper connections with others and improve your personality, unplug (拔掉电源) from time to time. If you can manage to do this, you’ll pay more attention to what is happening around you rather than the screen, which can help you learn more about others and build your social skills.

10 . It’s funny, really: emotions are the very essence (本质) of being human, and yet we don’t devote much time to truly thinking about them. Most of us mistake the value of feelings or shy away from those with seemingly negative meanings. We don’t really consider what these feelings might be trying to tell us.

Emotions show up in all parts of our lives, but sometimes expressing them can come with a lot of shame. But when we refuse to face how we truly feel, we risk not recognizing the signs that our needs are not being met.

This special edition is devoted to deepening an all-around understanding of our emotional experience, from the powerful ways joy can help fight against burnout (倦怠), to the inspiration (启发) we can get from connecting with other generations.

Many of us will have first-hand experience of wanting to hide away from so-called negative emotions, but we want to stress the fact that there is no such thing! From our columnist Michelle Elman’s personal experience with survivor’s guilt (内疚), to dealing with guilt-inspiring situations, and reviewing our ideas of anger, there should be no shame in whatever it is you are feeling!

Every emotion has value and the ability to teach us something. Recognizing varieties of our moods allows us to appreciate different sides of life, and truly value all parts of the human experience. Without moments of joy, we couldn’t experience and appreciate the beauty of the world; without moments of sadness, we couldn’t grasp the limitless value of love and satisfaction.

So, wherever you are on the emotional stage, know it won’t last forever, and there should be no shame or hiding. Allow yourself to feel it all.

As Yogi Berra so artfully put it: “Whatever you do, you should do it with feelings.”
