The greatest source of inspiration for me has always been my father. Though he's been gone for 17 years, his 1 still resonate (产生共鸣). He taught me how to run my own race in life. But the most inspiring thing he taught me was to 2.

One incident is 3 in my mind. It happened when I was a teenager. My sister and I weren't very fond of a so-called friend of 4. Dad was a very generous man, and as he'd done with so many people, he'd given this fellow great help. But when he asked for a favor 5, the guy didn't deliver.

Dad's outlook (人生观) on most things was "Live and let live." In this case, however, his calmness 6 Terre and me, and we let him know it.

"How can you be nice to that man?" we said to him. "You've been so kind to him, and he's not being kind back. Why would you want to give him the time of day again?"

My father shrugged (耸肩) and said to us, " I do not bend my back with 7." I didn't get it at first, but over the years I came to understand the 8. Holding a grudge (怨恨) doesn't 9 the person you're angry with, but it changes you. It makes you heavier and gives you more weight to drag around.

After my father died in 1991, a (n) 10 came from a fellow I'd had a quarrel with years before to 11 his sympathy. He wrote: " I thought I'd tell you how sorry I am 12 the loss of your father. I know he 13 the world to you. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts."

Much moved, I wrote back. I thanked him for his 14. And then, because he'd 15 our disagreement, I recalled Dad's inspiring words. "I am my father's daughter," I wrote. "And like him, I do not bend my back with yesterday."

When Yang Fan was taking a walk around the Yuliang Island, she saw a black swan (天鹅) in the grass. Yang Fan knew that swans could be fierce (凶猛的). But as she got close to this one, it didn't move.

She was sure that the swan needed help. Although she had an important meeting to have, she still decided to do something for the swan. So Yang called her workmate first to pull off the meeting. Then she covered the bird's head with her jacket to keep its cool, picked it up carefully and held it in her arms. She decided to send it to the Animal Care Center, but the center was across the Han River, far from the park. She didn't know how to carry the swan there. Luckily, some strangers driving by gave her and the swan a lift to a nearby bus stop.

On the bus, no one seemed surprised by "the unusual passenger". Instead, they were worried. Someone helped Yang Fan call the center on the way. And Li Tao, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the bus stop and drove them to the center. There, the animal doctors found that the swan was poisoned (中毒), caused by eating something used to kill mice. The swan was well looked after at the center. She even made a friend—a little dog. Thanks to people's love and care, luckily, she was cured (治愈) two months later and sent back to the nature.

"It's a moving story. Yang Fan travelled about two hours and it was really a long way." Says Li Tao. "And all the strangers wanted to give her and the swan a hand." He adds, "I am happy to see that more and more people have realized the importance of protecting the wild life since we are trying to build a civilized (文明) city."

A lot of students are playing all kinds of sports on the sports field. A football game is{#blank#}1{#/blank#} on right now between Class 3 and Class 4. We don't know which team will {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Look at those people over there! Some students of Class 1 are practising the high jump. One of them is the best high jumper in the school. He {#blank#}3{#/blank#} hard every day. Many people think he will break the school record in the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} meeting next spring. Not far away from {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, some girls are preparing for a race. They will have an 800-metr e race in ten {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Now on the corner of the field, you can see another group of students. Their teacher is telling them how to{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the discus(铁饼). 

In schools, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and more students love sports now. Sports help people to keep {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. They also help people to live {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. And while doing sports on the sports field, many people will become good friends too. Do you think so?

Eimei,a giant panda that has lived in Japan for 28 years,and his twin daughters arrived in Chengdu from Japan on Feb.22,2023.

Speaking of  Giant panda,people may think it is still a kind of 1 animals. But the good news is,populations are on the rise due to lots of efforts by Chinese conservation programs using new 2  technology.By actively guiding adult pandas to mate(交配),more and more panda babies are being 3 .

But today,there is an even bigger challenge.Baby pandas from these breeding programs are being reintroduced to the 4 ,their native home.The first thing they have to  learn  is  how  to  climb  trees.Because  in  the  forest,they  may  face  5 ,such as other bears.The ability of young pandas to survive in the wild is mainly 6 by their mothers.The most important thing he has learned is great 7 ,a natural instinct(天性)he gets from his wild panda mother.

In 2018,in the Daxiangling Nature Reserve,the Panda Returning Home Project  Pilot  Site  was launched,which  means  giant  panda  reintroduction  went  a  step 8 .This is a long yet hard journey,but no matter how 9 the path to the future is,and how many challenges we will 10 ,we will be with you and accompany you home.
