1 . On a cool spring evening, I found myself leisurely seated by a refreshment stand near Beihai Lake, enjoying the sight of shining ripples. The subtle _________ of leaves in the breeze immersed me in the liveliness of life. Across from me, a woman and her young daughter shared a moment; the child, a charming little figure of about seven or eight with an upturned nose, was _________ her ice cream, her mother holding the girl’s _________, whispering sweet nothings.

A brisk wind caused the child to _________. Reacting swiftly, her mother wrapped her in the coat and started to _______ it up, unaware of the _________ matched buttons until she was midway through the task. Realizing the error, she quickly corrected her mistake. Yet, such a careless slip, did not _________ the girl. “Oh, mommy, your attention _________!” the child said, bursting into hearty laughter, which brought a _________ look on her mother’s face. As a __________, I expected a good dressing-down for the little girl. But there was only an embarrassing __________ of a few seconds. Then I heard the mother’s gentle voice. “Yes, it certainly did, for my heart went out to you!” said the mother, pointing a kind finger __________ the girl. The child blinked in confusion, hiding her blush in the chest of her mother, who hugged her __________ in her arms. A smile of gratification spread over the mother’s face.

Witnessing this tender display of __________ affection, I was profoundly touched.

In the vibrant summer following their high school graduation, best friends Sally and Jasmine decided to celebrate the beginning of their new chapter with a surfing holiday on the beaches of Hawaii. Sally, known for her boldness and bravery on the waves, and Jasmine, the cautious planner, found themselves in the paradise of surfers, ready to ride the endless summer.

Their Hawaiian adventure began under crystal blue skies, with the sun casting a golden glow over their ambitions. Jasmine had thoroughly planned their days to include both surfing lessons and ample downtime to soak in the island’s tranquility (宁静). Sally, however, was drawn to the whispers of challenge and conquest that the northern beaches promised. Known for their untamed (无法驾驭的) waves and the legends of surfers who dared to dance upon them, these waters attracted Sally constantly.

Despite Jasmine’s caution, particularly about the rumors of shark sightings, Sally’s desire only grew. She argued that risk was an integral part of surfing, a test on one’s respect and understanding of the ocean’s power. Jasmine’s warnings fell on deaf ears as Sally, drive n by a mixture of youthful invincibility (不可战胜)and a deep-seated need to prove herself, decided to take on the northern waves alone.

The day Sally chose for her adventure began with a seemingly calm. The ocean looked welcoming, its surface broken only by the gentle roll of waves. Two safeguards were watching surfers riding waves in the sea nearby. Not a trace of danger or sharks could be found. Jasmine watched with a mixture of awe and anxiety as Sally paddled(划桨)out, her figure gradually becoming a small dot against the vastness of the sea.

As hours passed, the sky’s clear blue deepened to a dark grey, and the ocean began to reveal its true nature. Waves, once calm, grew in size and intensity, challenging Sally’s skill and determination. She rode them with grace, each successful return fueling her confidence. But nature cares little for human bravery.

As Sally rode on the crowning wave of the day, a dark shape secretly emerged underneath.

Hearing Sally’s scream, Jasmine quickly figured out what happened and rushed to the safeguards.

3 . Born in 1976 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and growing up between Pennsylvania and County Clare, Ireland, Aimee Mullins has overcome challenges from day one. She was born with a limb anomaly (异常) wherein there is partial or total absence of the shin bones. She had both legs amputated below the knee when she was only a year old. Without her legs, she could still learn to walk with artificial ones.

Despite her physical limitations, she pushed herself physically and mentally to succeed. In high school she participated in numerous sports, including softball and skiing. While in high school, she heard about a track meet for people with disabilities, and signed up for the meet. She not only won, but also broke a national record.

Mullins decided to work towards competing in the 1996 Paralympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. She obtained her first pair of sprinting legs with which she hoped to break the time she needed for Paralympic placement. Instead, her greatest fear came true — her leg began to slip off, and consequently, she lost because of it. Her coach pushed her to compete in the 200-meter, forcing her to face her biggest fear and to realize that true bravery is not the absence of fear, but the ability to conquer it. Later she set Paralympic records in Atlanta for the 100- and 200-meter dash and in the long jump.

Mullins has since set her sights towards Hollywood. She has already had a few roles on television and in movies, and she has been featured in numerous magazines and books. In 2002 she starred in Matthew Barney’s Cremaster 3, playing a woman with sprinting legs like those of a cheetah’s. In 1999 she was a runway model for British fashion designer Alexander McQueen’s London show.

Both a record-breaking Paralympic athlete and a fashion star in the making, Mullins has the amazing ability to constantly redefine herself. She is just as comfortable in high heels and gowns as she is in running shorts and sneakers, wearing both with confidence of one that is truly gorgeous both inside and out.

Jesse and I are good friends. But we have recently cooled off. It was last month that the story began in gym class.

“Come on. Emily!” Jesse sounded so impatient. “We’ll be late for class.” After math class was gym class, and I was a bit slow that day. Jesse kept urging me to hurry up.

Just then I found my wallet missing. I dropped my book bag to dig through my coat pockets. I was wet with anxiety.

“Someone took it.” Jesse said. As usual, she was quick to point away from the bright side of things.

Even though we were best friends. Jesse and I were just so different.

Jesse and I had to rush into the gym. Soon Jesse spread the news about the theft. By last period in gym class, I was tired of having to say over and over again, “I’m sure I just left it at home.”

After gym class, we went into the locker room. I was changing when I heard a gasp from Jesse. I looked at her and found her face was white with shock. There at her feet, was my wallet.

“It fell out of her locker!” Jesse pointed at Hellen a “new girl” in our class. “She stole it.” Everyone began to accuse Hellen at once.

“Jesse caught her red-handed.”

“Report it!”

Some people were beginning to wonder about Hellen.

I looked over at Hellen. She picked up the wallet and held it out to me. Her hands were trembling. “I found it in the parking lot. I was going to give it to you.”

Jesse spit the words “I’m so sure!” at her.

“Really, it’s true.” Hellen’s eyes began to fill with tears.

I reached for my wallet. I didn’t know what to think, but when I looked over at Jesse, her attitude made me sick inside. I looked at Hellen. She was scared but looked sincere.I knew I held her reputation in my hands.

“I am so glad you found it,” I smiled. “Thanks, Hellen.” The tension around us broke.

It was around eleven o'clock at night, and Mrs. Jones was walking alone when a young boy suddenly appeared from behind and attempted to grab her purse. The strap (带子) broke with a single pull, combined with the weight of the purse, which caused him to lose his balance. Instead of making a quick escape, he fell on his back, legs flailing (用力地胡乱挥动) in the air. The woman swiftly turned around and delivered a swift kick to his behind. Then, she bent down, picked the boy up by his shirtfront, and shook him until his teeth rattled (咯咯作响) .

Mrs. Jones asked, “What possessed you to do that?” The boy replied, “I didn’t mean to.” She accused him of lying, to which the boy admitted, “I'm sorry, lady.”

The woman then pointed out, “Your face is dirty. Don’t you have anyone at home to remind you to wash your face?” The boy replied, “No, ma’am.” She stated that his face would get washed later in the evening and started to walk up the street, dragging the boy along with her back home.

Upon arriving at her home, Mrs. Jones sent the boy to the washroom for a face wash, finally setting him loose. The boy, who seemed to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, had a thin but strong build and was dressed in tennis shoes and blue jeans. Mrs. Jones thought if he had been her son, she would have taught him right from wrong.

“You gonna take me to jail?” asked the boy, bending over the sink.

“Not with that face,” said the woman. “I was trying to get home to cook me a bite to eat and you took my purse! What do you want the money for?”

The boy admitted he wanted a pair of blue suede (绒面革) shoes, but the woman pointed out that instead of grabbing her purse to obtain them, he could have asked her. The boy was surprised by her response.
