Having been walking in the snow for 2 hours, Little Buddy was really tired and frustrated. The way home seemed 1 , each step a struggle. For fall every little distance that Buddy gained, he seemed to fall back even further, pushed by the rising wind and his own 2 . When Buddy had to go uphill, he looked with 3 at the long distance remaining and thought he wasn’t going to make it. His legs had been pushing through almost-waist-high 4 for hours, and all he wanted to do was to 5 down, to end this terrible journey and close his eyes.
Suddenly, there was someone 6 him. A large man was looking down at Buddy, smiling at him. 7 , Buddy, should have heard the sound of the man’s boots crunching(使……发出嘎吱嘎吱声)the snow 8 he’d walked up from behind. But, there hadn’t been a 9 .
Buddy stared at the 10 . Who was he? There was a scarf hiding most of his face, but 11 , Buddy felt no fear of him. The man said nothing. He simply picked Buddy up, lifted him over his 12 , set Buddy on his shoulders and began to 13 .
Buddy told the man where he 14 . As they approached the house, the stranger 15 and looked Buddy in the eye. Buddy 16 and the man silently lowered his head and helped Buddy 17 off his shoulders. Buddy was so happy that he immediately knocked at the door. When Buddy 18 the man and wanted to thank him, he had already 19 . Buddy could only see 20 in the snow and a dim(模糊的)view of his back.

The song that has meant the most to me is called I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly. I choose this song because every time I listen to the song it 21 my childhood. As long as I believe it, I can be or do whatever I want in life with a 22 .
I didn’t know much of what the song 23 a long time ago but as I grew older, I began to love the song and started to listen to the 24 more and more. Every time I listen to it, I think about all the difficulties I have 25 .
When I was little, I had to use a wheelchair and a walker 26 I had a disability named cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪). The doctors told my mother I had a small 27 of walking but I was determined to walk. I knew that I had to believe in myself to 28 my goal to walk someday.
One day the doctor told my mother that he could do a 29 that would help me walk. So when I was three and a half, I had my first surgery.
I disliked the cast (石膏) because it was a half body cast, with a bar in the middle of my 30 , and it was very itchy (发痒的). I was a very 31 kid, so being in a bed for six weeks, not being able to 32 , I felt frightened. I knew after all the 33 and crying, it would be worth it in the long run.
34 , at the age of eight, I got my cast off and I felt 35 when I finally went through all the treatment and learned how to 36 .
The song says, “I see me running through that open door.” That’s what I felt like: I believed I could fly just like the song says. That day it felt like I was 37 my wings in the sky.
I’ve always believed I can 38 the sky. I still have more problems to overcome, but I will always believe I can fly. The song 39 me so well that I feel like the song was written for me. As the years 40 , I am going to continue to spread my wings and believe it.

From Teen Activist to TIME’s Person of the Year
With her selection, Greta Thunberg, the famous 16-year-old Swedish climate activist, has become the 41 individual ever to be named Time’s Person of the Year.
While the magazine has a long record of 42 the power of young people, the 43 have never before selected a 44 . The 45 individual to hold the record for youngest person of the Year was 25-year-old Charles Lindbergh in 1927.
Thunberg gained international attention for 46 world leaders for their inaction in the 47 crisis in a viral speech she made at the U.N. Climate Action Summit in September. She criticized world leaders again at the COP25 (联合国气候变化大会)conference last week.
“Thunberg has become the 48 voice on the biggest issue facing the planet,” Time editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal wrote.
At the age of eight, when Thunberg first learned about climate change, she was 49 that adults did not appear to take the issue 50 . It was 51 for her to take 52 in her own life; she stops herself 53 flying, eats no meat or dairy and she has a shop stop, meaning that she doesn’t buy new things.
On August 20, 2018, Thunberg decided that it was time for her to take her 54 to the next level and 55 . She 56 others to launch climate-change strikes around the world last year. She 57 school and sat down 58 Sweden’s parliament (议会) with a self-made banner “school strike for climate.” She also invited more than two million students across 135 countries to join her 59 “Fridays for Future” 60 by staging walkouts at their own schools. This past March, Thunberg was nominated(提名) for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I grew up in a small town. There was a man named Joe, who was uneducated and couldn't talk 61 . He was good -natured but not very smart, 62 every one teased him.
One day when I was sitting on the porch, he came walking by. I was about 12 and thought it would make me 63 grown-up to play a joke on him as some did.
He asked what I was doing, and I told him that my father had 65 his job and that we were short of money. I could see my friends nearby 66 so I went on with the 67 . From his 68 expression, I'm convinced that I had fooled him 69 .
I knew he lived a 70 life with low income, so it was 71 when he asked whether we needed anything. I told him that we didn't know if we would have enough to 72 , and he replied, " You poor thing.”
That night I heard a soft 73 on the door. I thought it was the wind whipping against the door, so I 74 it. The next morning I found a small box of food outside my home. I knew it was from Joe. I looked into the box of canned food with 75 in my eyes. I felt ashamed of taking advantage of his 76 for me. Later I 77 the whole story to my father and said I wanted to return the box. My father scolded me and 78 that I keep the box; otherwise it would hurt Joe's feelings.
Although the food was not 79 , I knew Joe gave the best he had. I did not 80 the gift.

It was summer 2019 when CBS News first met middle school math teacher, Finn Lanning and his student Damien.
“He's a 81 student who always stands out. And then one day he just came to me and 82 that he was not coming back to school,” Lanning said.
Lanning sat his student down and had a(n) 83 with him. He then 84 Damien had a kidney disease and that he was 85 to leave school and move into a hospital as social services couldn't find a foster family (寄养家庭) 86 to meet his medical needs.
But here's the real problem: Damien 87 needed a transplant (移植).But a lot of times it's 88 to get a transplant if someone doesn't have a to return to after the operation.
“It hit me like a ton of bricks. I mean, you 90 can't sit across from somebody you 91 and hear them say something like that when you know you can 92 them,” Lanning said.
That's how Lanning became a foster parent. He 93 Damien — medical needs and All--- although he claimed that he 94 his childless life, “I never 95 I could leave school after work and take one of them home with me and still 96 ” he said.
Damien refused to get too 97 though they got along very well. That's 98 he'd seen fairy tales fall apart before, “They'll be 99 with you one day and then just kick you out the next,” Damien said.
Lanning 100 he's not going anywhere, whether Damien believes it or not.

My beautiful 18-year-old daughter was admitted to a psychiatric hospital(精神病医院)I 101 her twice a day. She was the only 102 who had visitors every day. On the contrary, some were 103 to have a visitor once a week.
One day, I was asked by the patients to 104 a Christmas basket on their behalf for the nursing staff, and I was 105 enough money by them to put together a luxurious basket. My 106 Olive came into our office when I was 107 to make the basket while students were playing outside. She could see I was 108 and unwell as I was struggling to put the basket together. Olive offered to 109 the job, made a great job of the basket and then helped carry it to my car.
When I 110 and brought the basket' to the patients in person, they were absolutely 111 . I was there when they 112 it to the nursing staff; they'd never been given anything like this before and they were so 113 and grateful. It was a beautiful 114 as those in the psychiatric hospital acknowledged(感谢)those who cared for them.
A few days later, I 115 a thank-you card and a box of chocolates from the patients for 116 them with their basket. I can't tell you how 117 I was also at that time when seeing their smiling faces. These were people who were unable to 118 outside the hospital. They were 119 people who were unable to look after themselves and were on medication, 120 they still expressed love and gratitude for the nursing staff and me.

I was excited to take my dog Georgie to the river the other day, as it’s within walking distance of our new home. Having spent her first six years in a cage, Georgie had never seen a body of 121 , and I wanted to get there before sunset to watch her 122 it.
I was growing increasingly 123 about all the stops. She 124 the grass, dirt and trees, and licked whatever was stuck to the road. These were all new 125 for her and she took her time studying them.
When I accepted that it was 126 to hurry her along, I 127 my cell phone and began texting. I thought that I needed something to do while Georgie was 128 us down.
Then, I heard the cicadas(蝉),and I remembered that the sound of cicadas is my favorite sound in the world. That awakened something buried within me that 129 for the simple pleasures that had been 130 by technology.
I made a 131 decision to be present, and to enjoy the 132 to the river, just like Georgie. The journey was just as 133 as the final destination would be, and it took that Georgie to 134 me.
Now, I 135 the wonder of the winding plants on our path. I felt the occasional warm raindrop on my skin from a gray sky— 136 to burst at any moment. I smelled the grass, the flowers, the dirt and the air. I treasured each one 137 , as if discovering them for the first time.
As we neared our destination, I realized something even more 138 : It didn’t matter whether we even reached the river. Why must there always be a 139 ? Georgie had no idea that we had a destination. She was present for the journey, and she 140 every bit of that sweet experience.

A few years ago, an elderly woman entered my video store, along with her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of 141 , 142 her watch every few seconds. If she had possessed a leash(绳子), her mother would have been 143 to it as a means of pulling her along to 144 the rush of other shoppers.
I 145 and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a 146 on a piece of paper. 147 rushing off to find the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me 148 I could show her where she could find it and I want to enjoy her 149 for a moment. As we walked along the back of the store, I 150 its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed “trip” and 151 conversation.
I said to her daughter, “ 152 some advice?” “Of course not,” said the daughter. “ 153 her ,” I said. “When she's gone, it's the little 154 that will come back to you. Times like this. I know.” It was 155 . I still missed my mom and remembered the times when I'd used my impatience to make her 156 .
Together they made their way toward the store's resting area. They sat there for a moment, side by side, 157 the holiday crowds. Then the daughter 158 and immediately regarded her mother lovingly. And slowly she placed her arm with 159 unaccustomed affection around her mother's shoulders and 160 guided her back into the crowd.

I was fourteen years old and thought I had already known all the important things in life. I remember being more than a little 161 at the homework my geography teacher, Mr. Ream, had given the class. We had to 162 to someone we knew who had been in a war as a soldier and write about their experiences.
I 163 it was totally meaningless. What did that have to do with 1 ? I wanted to know. I still had an unpleasant attitude toward it 165 I put my notebook down on the table in front of my stepfather. I 166 that he'd been in the war, so I decided to make it 167 for myself and not to look any further from home for my 168 .
He asked me what I 169 , and I said I had to interview him about his experiences in the war 170 a class. I'm sure his body must have stiffened(变僵硬), but at that time I was too blind to 171 it. He asked me to sit down and then we got 172 . I'll never forget his response to the first question I 173 asked, "Have you ever killed anyone?"
His answer of "yes" was the 174 that made me begin to take the talk seriously. I still 175 his eyes when he told me the horror of what he'd 176 and what he'd done during the war. I had never expected that kind of 177 from anyone, but I know that's 178 what he gave me.
The things he told me taught me a lot. They also showed me I had a lot left to 179 in this life. I gained new love and 180 for this man who is now my father.

Recently I have taken a vacation at the eastern end of Ocean Isle Beach, a small town on North Carolina southern coast. It is 181 the mainland by the Atlantic Coastal W aterway. It’s a pleasant seaside town. From my point of view, there were no 182 that the sea here might not always be the 183 neighbor.
184 , a short walk along the beach quickly provided a different 185 . Just a few dozen yards away, huge sandbags were 186 , guarding a number of homes from the sea. As I 187 walking, I soon found myself in front of homes that were built actually above the waves at high tide.
I passed a woman walking her dog and asked her about the 188 .“There used to be two streets of houses in front of these homes,”she told me.“Now, they are oceanfront.”
It 1 the homes at the east end of Ocean Isle Beach were victims of coastal erosion, which is 190 at most beaches in North Carolina and through the world. An eroding beach can 191 several feet of sand a year.
The case of Ocean Isle Beach 192 a key situation about sea level rise: since it occurs relatively 193 , it can be easy to think it’s not 194 . But as climate scientist Josh Willis told me,“If you are not 195 it, you’ re just not looking in the right place.”
“Thanks to satellite 196 , we know that sea level is rising about 3.3 millimeters a year, a 197 that grows by another 1 millimeter per year every decade or so,” Willis said. “We can’t really 198 a few millimeters of sea level rise a year just by looking at the 199 because of waves, tides, etc, but we can definitely see the 200 of it both in the short and long term.”
