It all started when my dad brought home a very big surprise — which was actually a very little surprise. "Ta-da!" he announced pulling a sheet off a cage, magician-style. "Meet Mr. Nibbles!"

"A hamster(仓鼠)!" I cheered.

"He's so cute," said Tex. "Hello, Mr. Nibbles, I already love you so much." Tex whispered.

Seeing how we reacted, dad smiled, "Well, congratulations, Mr. Nibbles. You have found yourself a new home!"

It took a few weeks for our fuzzy (毛茸茸的) friend to get comfortable. At first he poked (探出) his head out of his cage only to take a sip of water and fill his cheeks with food. But once he got settled in, he was happy and playful. He sometimes slid away from the cage, and even begged for food, making a hissing (嘶嘶声的) sound as if saying thanks. Having Mr. Nibble 's around made our summer much more fun.

Before we knew it, it was time to go back to school. I was excited to see friends I hadn't seen in a really long time, but, to be honest, I was also nervous about all the new stuff. That's why I made sure I was extra prepared. My plan was to wake up early, put on my carefully laid-out clothes, eat my carefully chosen breakfast, and place my thought-out lunch in my carefully arranged backpack. Then I'd ride my carefully cleaned bike to school and enter my brand-new classroom. Hopefully, preparing ahead of time could make me feel calmer going into the back-to-school day!

Everything went according to plan — until, well, it didn't My new teacher, Mr. Jax, who seemed very serious, started out by going over the class rules. Then he asked each of us to say a quick something about our summer vacation. Most kids seemed pretty shy after being apart for a while and said only a few words. Soon it would be my turn.

Paragraph 1:

Suddenly I heard a familiar hissing sound coming from my backpack.

When I think of the toughest moments of my life, many have turned out to be1 in disguise. The most severe one was being pretty much kicked out of my Ph. D．program at the University of Georgia in 2016, after I2 all my jobs in California, even sacrificing my intern license（实习医生执照）. The program in Georgia turned out to not be the right3 for me despite my best efforts. I mainly went because they offered to4 my tuition, but I didn't examine the program carefully enough.

The whole year was riddled with exhaustion, anxiety, insecurity, fear, and exclusion. I was in therapy myself for most of the year to cope, and the only thing that made it5 was a lot of support from my family and friends. I was utterly6when I went back home; it felt like my7 was over.

Fast forward to today,8, I can see that getting driven out of the Georgia program was one of the best things that ever happened to me. As the saying goes, "Fate loves irony." I thank all my professors for making me see what I couldn't back then: I'd9 in the right program. In 2017, when I10 to a doctoral program in San Diego, I began to succeed and now my business and career are doing exceptionally well.

Looking back, I am deeply grateful I11 up in San Diego and happy that I didn't stay in Georgia. Ironically, the research and writing training from the University of Georgia12 me to develop my academic, professional, and personal writing. In short, I worked hard in Georgia and it13; the learning and growth I experienced were14.

As my personal example demonstrates, life is a total rollercoaster; what seems like good or bad news now can turn out to be the15 in the future.

It involves bringing older and younger people together to support each other. After all, old people represent a huge unused resource: they include retired engineers, doctors, teachers and business people with years of experience.

In some projects, retired people help out in primary schools, to hear children read and offer them individual support. Similar projects are run in secondary schools and even universities. Other projects involve sending children and teenagers into old people's homes on a regular basis to teach them "digital skills", to entertain them or simply befriend them and listen to their stories and advice. The students can either live rent-free in exchange for household chores (家务杂活) and support for the homeowner, or they can pay a reduced rent in exchange for chatting with the older person regularly and keeping an eye on their health and well-being.

Intergenerational volunteering projects have had a truly significant impact on both sides. By bringing together people of different generations and socioeconomic backgrounds, they have built trust, respect and friendship.

A. These are important for the structure of society.

B. Studies have shown that retired people can still contribute to society.

C. Intergenerational volunteering can provide a solution to these problems.

D. Volunteering may even help young people discover a new interest or passion for life.

E. They may face the challenge of finding a job without work experience or practical skills.

F. Elsewhere, there are projects that match university students with wealthy elderly people who have spare rooms.

G. Young people, too, have valuable skills to share, most obviously their up-to-date knowledge of technology.

Organizational psychologist Adam Grant neatly sums up this method alongside other systems and qualities in his new book. "Being a creature of discomfort," Grant writes, "can unlock hidden potential in many different types of learning." This is just one character skill the Wharton professor believes can unlock an individual's potential to do greater things than their background or experience might suggest. This is essential for more than learning a skill or a language; this is what he says takes individuals to the pinnacle of their industry.

Grant writes that universities and companies should take more steps to recognize potential, and where an individual has overcome difficulties like growing up in poverty. This quantifying the unquantifiable could be done, he suggests, by looking at the rate of change of a student's grades as well as the final score.

The example of Mexican-American José Hernández comes to mind. The astronaut attained his dream of joining NASA after being rejected countless times by a system that did not take into account his different experiences working as a farm labourer when he was young and overcoming struggles.

Systems, therefore, need to change to find the best people. This is also a key message in the book: Improve the pipelines so that better people come up in the future.

There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they're comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind, because a lot of people are constantly thinking: "How am I going to present myself to my social media group back home through my posts on Facebook or Instagram?"

But this is just one side of the problem. On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment. It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may be three times by 2050.

I admit that there has been a considerable increase in people's awareness about the environment. And some people say that this can eventually lead to a shift in our behavior as tourists. However, I can't share their optimism. A lot of research has been done into the extent to which tourists are willing to adapt their behavior. And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco-guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly.

I'm old enough to remember when tourism was just the summer holiday, and you would look forward to those two weeks a year when you would go on holiday. It was special and meaningful, but nowadays it is so easy to travel. Travel is now seen as a right, not as a privilege. However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it. Also, only in this way can many problems arising with the development of tourism be properly solved.

It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there. Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills (垃圾填埋地) and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started donating books directly. The library was initially available only to the garbage employees and their families to use but as the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017．

"On the one hand, there were those who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were looking for these books," Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. "We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books. When everyone supported it, this project happened."

All the books that are found are sorted and checked for condition. If they pass, they go on the shelves. Today, the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there's a very popular children's section that even has a collection of comic books. An entire section is devoted to scientific research and there are also books available in English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs.

"Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books," Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to administrate the library.

This library is incredibly popular. It is frequently filled with the children of the city's workers and students from nearby schools. There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library. You can even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room.

When people move to a new country, they often feel worried and stressed because they don't know the customs and traditions of the new place. This feeling is what (call) "culture shock" generally. Kalervo Oberg was the first person  (use) this phrase. According to Oberg, there are several  (stage) of culture shock.

 comes first is the honeymoon period. During the period, whatever people experience is fresh and exciting to them. In the next stage, people often feel  (frustrate). They notice more differences between their own culture and the new one. People usually either change their behavior  return to their home country. If they stay, people come to the third stage which (occur) when they begin to adapt  the new culture. They begin to become familiar with the customs, the thinking, and the habits of the new place. Acceptance is the fourth stage. People (final) begin to fit into the new culture . Differences no longer trouble them as much, and they might have a sense of (belong) in the new place.
