Tw years ag, fueled by my envy fr thse with gardens, I signed up fr a plt, a place where I culd read and write in the sun, safe frm distractins. A few mnths ag, I was presented a half-plt f available land. The plt, which was bigger than I culd dream f, was beautiful but vergrwn — getting it started wuld require hard wrk. I wasn’t sure I had it in me.
Fast frward t nw. After seeking guidance frm my family and watching beginners’ gardening vides, I spend hurs a week swing, weeding, watering and harvesting. My summer at the plt has s far ffered cuntless lessns, but the mst imprtant ne has been learning mre abut hw fd actually grws. Take the humble cauliflwer — a cmmn sight in the supermarket, yet it demands patient tending fr up t six mnths, all fr a shrt mment n the plate. Seasnality has als taken n a new meaning. I knew that all fresh fd has its “seasn” but it was nly when I was verwhelmed by an endless supply f curgettes that I really understd I culd be eating them fr mnths.
Yet abundant harvests cme with a lessn in impermanence. Fresh prduce ges ff quickly nce ripened and picked. And s I’ve turned t the ld craft f preservatin — learning what t bil and freeze, r make int jam — t make things last. When the harvest has been mre than I can manage, I’ve shared the abundance with friends and family, spreading the jy.
While gardening is a welcme escape frm the chas f the mdern wrld, yu can’t avid the reality f the climate crisis. It’s ne thing t read these in the news r see them reflected in prices, but it’s quite anther when yu have t be in tune with weather patterns, praying fr prlnged sunshine withut the unbearable heat.
As I cntinue t tend my plt, I d s with a sense f humility, wnder and excitement. What started as a desire fr a small patch f green has grwn int smething much mre significant — a cnnectin t my lcal envirnment, a respect fr the fd I eat and an awareness f the fragile natural systems that sustain us. In the beginning, I was wrried I wuld fail the plt; instead, I’m finding myself grwing alngside it.
24. Hw did the authr feel when getting the plt?
A. Prud but anxius.B. Grateful but puzzled.
C. Amazed but wrried.D. Mved but disappinted.
25. While wrking n the plt the authr learned t __________.
A. remve chas frm lifeB. create seasnal recipes
C. identify cmmn plantsD. respect laws f nature
26. What des the authr’s experience tell us?
A. Labr is the mst reliable wealth.B. Every seasn brings its wn lessns.
C. The land is made better and s is the gardener.D. One shuld stay hungry fr cnstant prgress.

During the prcess, she fund sme phtgraphs that didn’t belng t them and laid them ut, hping they culd be reunited with their wners. Schenker said that thinking abut the phts she had left behind kept her up that night. She was afraid that if it rained r the wind blew, the phts wuldn’t be able t be reunited with their families.

Schenker tk the phts hme cleaned them ff, and rganized them int flders and bins fr safekeeping until they culd be returned t their wners. Schenker mailed phts t peple wh were n lnger in the area, but she als hand-delivered thse that belnged t families wh still lived nearby. Each reunin served as a heartwarming reminder f the imprtance f her wrk.
In ne instance, Becky Tate and her daughter bth recgnized their phts n the nline page. Tate’s daughter, Nancy, cmmented that her mm was in tears when they made the discvery.
“The prcess is definitely fulfilling,” Schenker said. “It’s enjyable t witness the mment when a phtgraph is returned t its rightful wner, and t bserve peple in the cmments mentining each ther and sharing their thughts and saying, ‘Oh my gsh, yu just reminded me f this mment in my life that I had ttally frgtten abut.’”

On a brisk Octber mrning, with 20 punds f gear n my back, I hiked up a steep, rcky trail. With each step, I felt my thrat tighter and my lungs heave.
This was an experiment. Grwing up, my family’s annual “hikes” ften left me weeping with exhaustin after nly 2 miles. Decades later, I wndered, at the ripe age f 26, culd I learn t lve the utdrs? I decided t start in the deep end with this hiking.
Prepared with weeks f exercise, I jined my grup at the trailhead near the city brder. An hur after setting ff, I fell behind, nt sure if I culd make it. Frank, my hiking cmpanin, slwed dwn t accmpany me.
“Lk at the sky, the trees!” he exclaimed.
Wheezing I stpped t crane my neck. Nature in all its magnificence chse t shw ff. The wind whistled, rustling the yellw canpy verhead. Cntinuing n, I made a pint t stp and lk arund every few minutes.
Three hurs later, we reached ur campsite, a vast grassy area. Frank guided me thrugh putting up my tent, a small victry after a challenging mrning. We then sught ur nly water surce, Sunfish Pnd. Much t my annyance, I repeatedly lst my fting and returned t camp after cuntless falls.
At camp, I built a fire using nly flint (火石) sticks. My cheap sleeping pad kept lsing air, and my sleeping bag did little t keep the cld air ut. Arund 2 a.m. I teared up in frustratin and lay sleepless. Hwever, emerging frm my tent int the misty mrning, I felt my md lifted. Autumn seemed t have kicked in vernight and the leaves glwed. I ate a breakfast f instant ndles and then jined the thers, sharing intimate thughts I usually kept hidden.
Back at the trailhead where we started, my friend asked what we were grateful fr. I piped up abut the vulnerable and funny cnversatins I’d enjyed with fellw hikers — and the space t reflect. The frest and its temprary dwellers had cnvinced me I was capable f much mre than I thught pssible.
Did the experiment wrk? Memries f that sleepless, freezing night might give me pause befre I crawl int a tent again. But that desn’t mean I’m away frm the wds cmpletely. I returned t New Yrk smelly and sre, but when I stepped ff the bus int the city’s hustle and bustle, I als felt an unexpected calm.

The great elephant stands in the ht African sun. Slwly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls arund the leaves f a nearby tree, pulling ut the leaves and plitely slipping them int its muth.
The beast’s great grey skin is partly brken and aged frm the African sun. Sme mud drps n ne side frm its last trip t a nearby river. Its rugh hair sticks ut frm all ver its skin and tw large, white tusks curve elegantly frm either side f its muth.
Smewhere a lin rars and smething else gives a lud high shut. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts ver far abve this wrld, barely a black dt in the sky. The buzzing f the cuntless bush insects seems t cllectively shift up in high tune, almst like the whle f the savanna (热带草原) was singing sme sng that nly they knew.
I peer thrugh the lens (镜头) at this scene. The zm lens shws almst every detail f the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear frm playing as a baby arund thrn trees, the scar dwn its frnt leg where a lin caught it unaware as a yung adult, and weathering n its great, valuable tusks frm decades f living in this unfrgiving grassland n a dusty cntinent.
And then the elephant lks at me.
It lks at me with thse big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth cming utwards frm a vast, hidden depth there. I can suddenly feel its sul, and feel the line f elephants that came befre this ne, trailing back t the very beginnings f this great savanna. We will never understand what wnders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered t each ther acrss the ages n this ld, sacred grassland.
It lks at me, and it lks thrugh me and sees me.
The elephant knws I am there. It always did. It is nt running away, nr is it fighting. It accepts and frgives. It lves. But, mstly, it just feels sad. It feels srry fr me. I cannt d this anymre.
I take my eye ff the sights and hand the gun back t my partner. “Let’s g hme,” I said in a quiet vice, “let’s just g hme.”

I was in a tiny plane with skydivers in their 70s and 80s,and I was distracted.
The reprter in me was trying t remember everything: the preflight rituals(仪式); the jkes; the way the jumpers checked their instruments. The rest f me was fcused n the fact that in a few minutes, I wuld jump ut f a plane flying 12,500 feet abve the grund.
I was reprting n West Ways, a grup f skydivers in their late 50s t early 90s.The grup was started in 1987 by Ms. West and her husband, and members have jumped tgether abut nce a mnth ever since.

Uday Bhatia’s enthusiasm fr technlgy began in childhd. His interest was awakened when he received a drne (无人机) in the furth grade, stimulating a curisity abut hw machines wrk. By 14, he had taught himself cmputer science and created his first vide game n Rblx. Hwever, Uday’s passin wasn’t limited t cding and gadgets—he was deeply aware f scietal issues. During the pandemic, he develped FindOurTutr, an e-tutring platfrm t help students cntinue learning remtely.
At 16, Uday, as part f a mentrship prgram, visited Bichpuri village in Uttar Pradesh and discvered a critical prblem: the villagers faced six-t-eight-hur-lng pwer utages. “When I learned that children were using flashlights and kersene lamps t study, I wanted t find a slutin,” he recalls. His research revealed that while mst villages in India had been electrified, unreliable pwer supply remained a cntinuing issue in many rural areas, with sme states like Rajasthan and Uttarakhand enduring pwer cuts lasting 10 t 12 hurs a day.
Determined t help, Uday spent the next six mnths learning frm instructinal vides and gathering secnd-hand cmpnents. He wrked in his terrace (屋顶) wrkshp, experimenting with different designs until he develped the Smart Outage-Guard (OG), a lw-cst backup lightbulb (灯泡) with a lithium-in battery. The bulb, priced at Rs 250, abut half the cst f ther ptins, features dynamic-lumen technlgy and pulse-widthmdulatin, which allws users t adjust the brightness. This feature extends the bulb’s illuminatin capacity t up t 10 hurs, depending n the brightness level.
Since its launch in May 2022, Smart OG bulbs have reached 10,000 hmes acrss eight states. Uday als funded Uday Electric, a fr-prfit venture that cllabrates with distributrs, NGOs, retailers, and CSR prgrams t prvide affrdable lighting t semi-electrified rural areas. Fr nn-electrified regins, he develped the Glw Grid, a slar-pwered lamp, launched this mnth.
Uday’s innvatins have earned him several awards, including the 2023 Diana Legacy Award. His lng-term gal is t prvide lw-cst energy t every hme, and he’s just getting started.

Luther Gerlach’s images enrich the permanent cllectins f the J. Paul Getty Museum in Ls Angeles and the Natinal Prtrait Gallery in Lndn, amng ther institutins.
While studying his wrk, ne cannt help but revisit the jurney he undertk in pursuit f art. Gerlach has dyslexia, a cnditin that makes it difficult fr him t read and spell, and in middle schl, it began t affect his studies. At the University f Minnesta, where Gerlach studied bilgy, his struggle with writing reached a tipping pint. Gerlach left the university and entered art schl. “Art has never been smething that slwed me dwn, in cntrast t the written wrd,” Gerlach says.
After graduating frm art schl, Gerlach tk what he learned and traveled acrss the United States selling his prints at art fairs. It was the late 1980s, and Gerlach traveled rughly 90,000 miles a year, taking phts alng the way. He was making $100,000 a year ding what he lved.
But the emergence f digital phtgraphy changed everything. Phtgraphers began t use Phtshp t create the hand-brushed quality f Gerlach’s phtgraphs and tld custmers they were using the same prcess Gerlach was using. “I wuld hear them talking—cmplete lies,” he says.
Rather than dive int digital, Gerlach mved int a phtgraphic prcess that was quite unusual: the wet clldin (火棉胶) prcess, invented in 1851. The prcess invlves cating a plate f glass r metal with clldin, fllwed by using a silver nitrate (硝酸银) bath t make the plate sensitive t light. The plate is then placed in a light-tight film hlder, with the pht made almst immediately while the plate is still wet.
It wasn’t easy when he first started, but Gerlach has always cnsidered “cnstant prblem slving” t be part f the creative prcess. It made Gerlach feel “present as an artist”. “I saw the final prduct right there in frnt f me. The same leaves n the tree that I’m standing in frnt f are n the image,” Gerlach explains. “The prcess allwed me t feel mre like a phtgrapher instead f a machine that printed prints t sell s I culd make mney. And when the final prduct wrks, nthing else cmpares t it.”
24. Luther Gerlach’s dyslexia ________.
A. frced him t change his majrB. drve him t g int business
C. made him drp ut f middle schlD. affected his artistic perfrmance
25. As digital phtgraphy emerged, Luther Gerlach ________.
A. adpted a unique phtgraphic technique
B. set ff fr new places t take phtgraphs
C. praised phtgraphers fr using Phtshp
D. imprved the hand-brushed quality f his phts
26. Why did Luther Gerlach prefer the wet clldin prcess?
A. It was cheap and reliable.B. It was easy and efficient.
C. It gave him artistic satisfactin.D. It helped him sell prints fr prfit.
27. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. Necessity inspires inventin.
B. Everything cmes t thse wh wait.
C. Hpe fr the best; prepare fr the wrst.
D. Dare t be different in a wrld f cpycats.

One evening, while practicing a demanding piece, I pushed myself t far. I felt a burning pain between my wrist and elbw. When it hadn't gt better after a day r tw, I started t panic. Days became weeks. I still culd nt write r play. Weeks turned int mnths. Opprtunities fr cncerts, recitals, and cmpetitins came and went.
When I wasn't sitting with my instrument, I was punishing myself fr my wn stupidity. My technique had prbably nt been secure enugh fr the demands I was placing n it. But nw it was t late.
Over tw years, I gradually recvered sme arm functin. I was able t play sme early music such as Handel and Bach, n a barque cell, as the mvements are gentler and lighter. Hwever, the pssibility f my arm letting me dwn has never left me.
The turning pint came, unexpectedly, during a phtsht fr an up-t-date picture. The phtgrapher suggested I get my cell and see what images f playing might lk like. I hesitated—I didn't see myself as a cellist any mre. But then I fetched it and sat playing snatches f Bach. In that mment, the lens pinting at my instrument and me, I began t understand smething I had nly half sensed until then. Away frm my cell, my shadw was missing. Withut it I felt incmplete. But with my instrument I was prtected and entirely happy in my wn skin.
During that phtsht I realised I needed t find ut what the cell, and its absence, had meant t ther cellists, t understand what it meant t me. S I planned a jurney acrss Eurpe. I encuntered cells destryed by war and shipwreck, and even a cell that had been turned int a beehive. I even played with a resurceful cellist, wh, having lst the use f his right thumb, ties his bw nt his hand with a bicycle inner tube.
Over the curse f my travels, I learned I was nt alne. Besides, my experience might help thers. I am als beginning t lk fr ways t return t the repertire(曲目)I lved. Supprted by a cmmunity f musicians in similar situatins, I nw celebrate every cncert as a step twards healing.

Fr years, Rbyn Elman, a nature advcate, has been passinately raising the endangered mnarch butterflies in the czy crner f her backyard. She cllects the butterfly eggs frm the milkweed plants—the nly fd fr these delicate creatures—alngside the highways. Each time she ges n her jurney t the highways, she hpes these little eggs, which are as precius as hidden treasures, will hatch(孵化) int many beautiful creatures. They will slwly make the grup which is getting smaller gradually breathe new life.
But reality destryed her hpes last year. Instead f being greeted by the green milkweed plants, she was met with the deslate sight f mwed stubs(修剪过的草茬) and destryed eggs. The milkweed plants had been cut dwn, and all left were shrt stubs. She felt a deep sense f lss. “Is there really n hpe fr these delicate, flying creatures?” she whispered t herself, her heart as heavy as a big piece f lead.
Even as pain cnsumed her, Rbyn remained determined. She teamed up with ther nature lvers. They reached ut t Frank Cnigli, the city’s directr f highway maintenance, urging him t cut the butterflies a break. At first, Frank was dubtful. He thught, “Hw imprtant can this be? What difference will it make? It’s just sme butterflies and plants.” But as Rbyn and her friends pured ut their wrries, and kept explaining the imprtance f the issue, Frank began t understand. He finally realised, “What happens t the butterflies is ging t happen t us, isn’t it?”, as if a light bulb had suddenly switched n in his mind.
Frank went t wrk n studying mre abut mnarch butterflies, and finally he supprted their cause, and tk decisive actin. He stpped mwing in certain areas, drawing an invisible line f prtectin. S far, arund 20 patches f milkweed plants, like ases in the urban desert, have been prtected acrss the city. “We’re making a real difference,” Frank said prudly.
Thanks t their cmbined effrts, the mnarch butterflies nw have a brighter future, and the city’s ecsystem is n the path t psitive transfrmatin.

In my early frties, I began painting with waterclurs. Each brushstrke n paper turned int a persnal language, allwing me t express the inexpressible. The feeling f clur being absrbed int the paper was calming, yet it left me lnging fr smething deeper. Over time, I became mre interested in il paints. Althugh they tk lnger t dry, they ffered me a sense f cntrl. Layers f paints cmbined smthly, creating a three-dimensinal effect that waterclurs culdn’t cpy. Oil paints granted me the precius pprtunity t take a few steps back, as if I were a curius explrer appraching a hidden landscape.
Hwever, wrking with il paints wasn’t easy. Getting the right shine r thickness required patience, and at times, I felt annyed by my lack f prgress. Clurs didn’t always behave as expected, and I struggled t achieve the visin in my mind. But the mre I persisted, the mre I understd il paints. They balanced sftness with depth, giving me the chance t create bth delicate and grand images. The prcess f painting became reflective, a practice f explring clurs, textures (纹理) and emtins—smetimes rugh, smetimes peaceful, but always rewarding.
One evening, I nticed a strange shade f blue n my canvas (画布). It seemed ut f place, as if it didn’t belng. My heart skipped a beat, and I stared at it, uncertain if it was part f my recent wrk r a trick f the eye. As I stepped back t examine the canvas, the blue shade slwly began t make sense. It was nt an errr but an invitatin—an unplanned element that added depth t the piece in a way I hadn’t expected. At that mment, I realised that painting, much like life, was nt abut cmplete cntrl but abut embracing the unexpected.
Frm then n, I apprached my wrk with a new sense f curisity. I let clurs blend mre freely, allwed accidental mistakes t becme part f the cmpsitin, and accepted that every brushstrke carried its wn stry. Oil painting nt nly gave me a medium t express myself but als taught me patience, resilience, and the beauty f discvery.
Lking at my finished wrk, I n lnger saw just layers f paints. I saw mments f struggle, jy, and grwth wven int the canvas—a reminder that art, like any, is as much abut the prcess as it is abut the final masterpiece.

Mark Brwn, 57, had been making films fr 30 years, but he fund himself feeling tired f it. “I thught, things can nly g dwnhill.” Brwn knew he needed t d smething else — but what? A few years earlier, he had bught his childhd huse and mved in. While Brwn wndered abut a secnd care er in gardening, he heard a different internal vice. “That child wh used t lve drawing whispered t me dwn the years,” he said. Sme unacknwledged lnging in him was brught ut.
There was a great ak tree near his hme. It had std ut t his yung self as a “fantastical giant — a treasure hme t birds, insects and animals. There was a cave inside. We used t squeeze in thrugh this hle.” He decided t lck himself away fr tw mnths t draw it in all its glrius detail.
“While I was drawing,” he said, “there came mments when it was as thugh the tree was drawing itself. I had spent s much time playing in it. I culd feel it. It was deep inside me.” His finished ak held “a real pwer”, he said. “As yu walk twards it, it just grws.” Brwn became a tree prtraitist.

It has als given him a different perspective n the passage f time. “I’m an ld man yet I’m nly 71, and sme f the trees I’ve drawn are 1,000 years ld.

In the state f Gergia, ne farmer has made it his missin nt nly t feed the hungry but t help them grw their wn fd in their wn backyard.
“My main gal is t make sure that underserved cmmunities that have been excluded r verlked have access t lcally grwn fd,” said Bbby Wilsn, wh perates the nnprfit Metr Atlanta Urban Farm. Since 2009, Wilsn has taught thusands f peple hw t plant and grw their wn vegetables and prepare meals with them, including nins, garlic, cucumbers, tmates, cllard greens, squash, and eggplant.
“Nt nly can yu learn frm my 35 years f ding this type f wrk,” Wilsn said, “but yu can learn frm ur cmmunity gardeners wh are grwing fd in a natural way.”
Wilsn, the first cllege graduate in his family, wrked with the University f Gergia fr mre than 20 years, bringing gardening educatin and prgrams t public husing cmplexes, schls and churches thrughut Metr Atlanta. Thrugh his wrk, he saw a great need fr fresh, healthy fd in lw-incme urban cmmunities.
When he retired in 2009, he used a prtin f his retirement savings t purchase the farm and help fill the gap.
“I saw the need,” Wilsn said. “Plus, when yu retire, yu shuld d smething yu really enjy.”
He estimates with the rising price f fd, peple culd save thusands yearly by grwing their wn fruits and vegetables. He als pints ut the health benefits that fresh prduce brings.
Millins f husehlds in the US are struggling t feed their families. And this is what mtivates Wilsn’s effrts.
“When small and disadvantaged farmers didn’t have the avenue t get rid f that prduce because peple were nt cming ut t buy, we had an pprtunity t help keep them alive,” Wilsn said. “We were buying fd frm African American farmers wh did nt have utlets and giving it away.”
Wilsn cntinues t ffer free fd t thse in need at a drive-thrugh giveaway every week, where families can secure healthy prduce.
Over the years, Wilsn says he has hsted a lt f students in grades K-12 fr farm turs and agricultural field trips. He wrks with farmers and gardeners f all ages and skill levels, frm preschlers t senirs, t prvide educatin and access t affrdable prduce.
“We’re mre than just a farm,” he said. “We’re abut justice, equity, diversity, and inclusin, because at the end f the day, I want my grandchildren t have it better than what I have it tday.”

When I was nine, my best friend nearly chked t death n a gbstpper, a type f hard candy. After several attempts, she cughed up the candy. I haven’t had a gbstpper since and I have carried with me a fear f seeing that scene again. Sadly, as I discvered this week, lightning can strike twice.
I was getting ff a tube train in Lndn when I nticed a wman cughing. I slwed dwn, watching her carefully. I had learned that cughing is rarely a sign that smething is terribly wrng. Suddenly, the wman stpped cughing, her eyes widened and she bent ver.
When I went ver t ask if she was OK, she lked up at me, panicked, and pinted t her back. I started hitting her back and screaming fr help. Despite having watched a few vides, I was terrified that I wuldn’t be able t crrectly perfrm the Heimlich, a first-aid methd, and that I wuld have t walk away with guilt fr her death. But it was just the tw f us, alne at an undergrund statin; if I didn’t try t help, n ne wuld. Thankfully, much like with my friend, after a few sharp hits, whatever had been stuck in her thrat came lse. She thanked me, almst embarrassed, and walked up t the lift. I fllwed behind her, shaking, with tears in my eyes.
By the time we reached the lift, we had bth calmed dwn. She tk my hands and thanked me again, befre disappearing. She might have been fine withut my hurried hits n her back — I may nt have actually saved her life — but at least she knew that smene, a stranger whm she wuld never see again, cared.
This experience als taught me abut the bystander effect, where peple assume thers assumed t be available during an emergency, direct help frm thers is far less likely t will help, leading t inactin. I get it: the fear f making things wrse, especially if yu have n medical training, is real. Research suggests that when a “medically cmpetent” persn is assumed t be available during an emergency, direct help frm thers is far less likely t ccur. Smetimes, thugh, regardless f wh else culd be nearby, it may be useful t get invlved. S it was with the cughing wman n the tube.
24. Hw did the friend’s chking incident affect the authr?

When I was named CEO f a glbal cmpany in 2006 I was determined t run the cmpany s that it wuld bth deliver gd shrt-term perfrmance and thrive in the lng term, years after I was gne. It was already in gd shape, but I dreamed f creating a defining crpratin f the 21st century, prud f its rt, yet glbal and respnsible in the shifting times.
Fr mnths, I quietly read all I culd abut the big scial trends influencing business. I walked the market, and examined emplyees’ feedback. I als dug deep int the bligatins f public crpratins. Frm all f this emerged a visin fr the cmpany that guided us fr the next dzen years r s. I called it “Perfrmance with Purpse”. The gal was t deliver great financial returns, as we always had, with three additinal clear bjects: t nurish humanity and the cmmunities, t prtect ur envirnment and t cherish ur peple.
My mtivatin was whlly t “future prf”, r de-risk. And it wrked. In my 12 years as CEO, ttal sharehlder return was 149%, and net prfit jumped 80%. We cut the salt, fat, and sugar in s da and chips, added mre healthful brands and prducts, and lwered the amunt f water needed. We kept innvatin ging and ur design studis wn many awards. Our talent academy was s brilliant that nine senir managers left t take CEO jbs elsewhere.
I believe that leaders must think frm the future back, even when things are ging fine. And we nw have a framewrk t help: the evlving templates (模板) fr envirnmental, scial, and gvernance metrics (ESG衡量标准) that, in essence, serve t de-risk cmpanies and markets. These criteria frce discussin f hard truths fr anyne with the ambitin t stay relevant in the lng term. If the metrics are carefully selected, ESG is nt cntrary t investrs’ interests. Imprtantly, de-risking the cmpany actually creates sharehlder value.
“Perfrmance with Purpse” presented tugh mments fr me, including when ne investr questined, “Wh d yu think yu are? A philanthrpist (慈善家)?” But skepticism faded when a cllective missin tk hld that included bth the bttm line and much beynd. This was my hpe frm the start.
24. The authr’s new visin fr the cmpany came frm _________.
A. its unique cultural rtB. her thrugh research
C. custmers’ fundamental needsD. sharehlders’ strng requirements
25. Accrding t “Perfrmance with Purpse”, an ideal cmpany shuld _________.
A. shift its strategies prperlyB. value emplyees’ feedback
C. shulder scial respnsibilityD. priritize financial returns
26. What is Paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The risks a cmpany may face.B. The authr’s ambitin t create value.
C. The interests investrs seek after.D. The authr’s recipe fr successful business.

I grew up in a place stricken by extreme pverty. Peple struggled daily just t put fd n the table. By the time I turned sixteen, my father’s hard wrk had paid ff. He had ver eight hundred students acrss three campuses, and finally, we culd affrd a TV.
That’s when I became fixated n the idea f wning a magic pencil, inspired by a TV series. The main character, Sanju, culd draw anything he desired, and it wuld cme t life. Despite being sixteen and knwing deep dwn that the magic pencil was nthing mre than a fantasy fr kids, a part f me still lnged fr it. At night, I dreamed f using it t transfrm the lives f thse arund me. But as the days passed, the pencil was never there.
One afternn my mther asked me t thrw away sme ptat peels and eggshells. I walked t the rubbish dump, wrinkling my nse as I gt clse. As I tssed ur rubbish nt the heap, I saw a girl my age. She was srting rubbish int piles, ne fr cans, ne fr bttles. Nearby, bys were fishing in the pile fr metal using magnets n strings.
Later that day, I dragged my father t see the children at the dump. I psed a questin abut their absence frm schl. He shared that their earnings frm gathering discarded (废弃的) things sustained their families—schling wuld leave their lved nes hungry. As we walked back hme, I saw tears n his cheek.
Until then, I’d pinned all my hpes n sme unseen, miraculus frce t cme alng and wipe ut the suffering in ur wrld. Nw I knew I wuld have t d smething. As much as I wanted t help the children frm the dump, my mther wanted t help everyne. She left the extra pt f rice and chicken fr a pr family in ur neighbrhd. We shared ur hme with a family f seven wh had fallen n hard times. And althugh my father’s schl wasn’t really making a prfit, he gave away mre than a hundred free places in different grades t pr children. He wished he culd have given away mre.
Inspired by what my parents had dne, I started vlunteering at lcal cmmunity centers, helping children with their studies and rganising fd drives fr families in need. Gradually, I realised that while a magic pencil might nt exist, the pwer t make a difference lay within us. Tgether, we culd create a kind f magic that was real and lasting.
