At my first class in the Forks High School, Mr. Banner, my English teacher sent me to an empty desk at the back without  (introduce) me to the class. It was harder for my new classmates (stare) at me in the back, but somehow, they managed. I kept my eyes down on the reading list the teacher had given me. It was (fair) basic: Bronte, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Faulkner. I'd already read everything. That was comforting… and boring.

    I am looking at an old friend of mine.

    He has been one of my best(friend )for almost 12 years. He has blessed my life with his loyalty, kindness(wise) and love since the day when I first met himdoesn't matter to me that he has four legs instead of two, fur instead of clothes, and barks at me instead of talking to me.

    As I watch my friend sleepingthe sun, I cant help(think) of all the goodness he has brought into my life. He has been with me every day through good and bad times. He has always been my protector. He has always reminded me that I am loved and showed me how(love)others at the same time.

    My friend has aged far(quickly)than me and had more and more health problems over the years. I am not sure how long we will be together before he (pass)away from this world.

    This (wonder)dog has helped me understand that you don't have to be perfect to be loved andpoor health and old age might affect the body but they don't have to decrease the spirit.

    I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of the audience and facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn't remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge, yet I fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they don't necessarily reflect anything about me. I don't know how to socialize. When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.

    I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest makes me happy. I will still stay on in college. But I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.

The first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.

In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.

Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, the fallout from second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.

These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.

But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. ''Overreaction to Fearsome Risks'' holds true for broader society.

For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.

Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.

I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.

It's a common belief that the roles actors play might somehow reflect their true personalities. It's usually not true, but British actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, is an exception.

In September, 2019 Waller-Bridge took home three Emmy awards for her work on Fleabag—best writing in a comedy series, best lead actress, and best comedy series.

Her success is partly because of her family. Descended(遗传) from British nobility, Waller-Bridge was brought up in a free environment. Her mother always told her, “You can be whatever you want if you imagine it. ” So Waller-Bridge broke all the rules about what a “good” girl should do. “Our laws and moral codes don't apply—she lives. . . without fear of consequence, ” The Sun noted.

That fearlessness extends to being authentic(真实的) in her writing and acting. Unlike the can-do heroines and strong, successful women in many TV dramas, Waller-Bridge shows an imperfect but real character. Just like the character Fleabag, who always found a way to say or do the wrong thing. Waller-Bridge feels her life is a mess. “It resonated(共鸣) with the lives of stressed-out women everywhere in reality—doing their best to find balance in their lives, ” a viewer wrote on US movie website IMDb. Variety magazine even calls her an “all-around icon”.

Villanelle in Killing Eve, another hit TV series developed by Waller-Bridge, was a little bit violent but showed no interest for the rules others created, which made many people see themselves in her.

“People have been scared to write characters like these. But I think, now, women are so relieved to have this new template(样板, 人设). And, aren't we all a bit of everything? ”Waller-Bridge said in an interview with Indian Express.

With such courage and sincerity, Waller-Bridge is, without doubt, a “golden girl” in Hollywood, Australian news website The New Daily commented.

    A boy and a girl go playing together. The boy wanted to give the girl all his marbles in exchange of all her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept best marble aside and gave the rest to the girl, which gave him all her sweets. That night, the girl slept peaceful while the boy couldn't fall sleep. He was wondering that if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marbles. You think the way you act. If you don't give you one hundred percent in a relationship, you'll keep doubt if the other has given his.

    I was driving to the grocery store on a warm morning in May. I smiled as I watched the golden sunshine 1 on the leaves. It was such a 2 and heavenly time.

    My calm was broken, 3, as I rounded a curve (拐弯处). A huge U-Haul truck was coming my way several feet over the center line. I swerved as far onto the side of the road as I could to 4 it. It was followed by not one but two other U-Haul trucks just as 5. I wondered if all the stuff inside of them 6 the same person. I slowed down my car and waited for my heart rate to 7.  It was then that I 8 a self-storage business along the side of the highway, building new units for all the people who couldn't fit their 9 into their houses. I saw a (n) 10 couple carrying boxes into one of the units. It seemed 11 that a couple just out of their teens could already have too much stuff.

    I lost my own 12 for owning stuff when a house fire in the middle of the night destroyed everything my family owned. The only thing I had left was the underwear I was wearing. Yet, our whole family had awakened 13 to escape. In the weeks that followed friends and family gave us a lot of stuff to get us back on our feet, but none of it seemed as 14 any more. What was important was seeing Mom's smile, giving Nana a hug and a kiss, and watching Dad snooze(打盹)in his chair 15 a hard day's work. What was important was the stuff of 16,  not the stuff of this world. Since then I have tried to limit the things I 17. I didn't want too much stuff to 18 my life.

    Families around the country are finding new options for their children's midday meal thanks to a growing number of delivery options catering to students. Kiddos Catering in Chicago adopts a method of providing restaurant meals to schools that contract with it. Owner Michelle Moses and her staff work with area restaurants to create a variety of kid-friendly choices and deliver the meals to the schools five days a week. Parents select the lunches from an online order form that lists the day's featured restaurant and its menu choices.

    "Each day is a different restaurant with six to 10 menu options," she said. "It offers so much choice to kids." The service appeals to parents because they think their children are less likely to toss out restaurant food than a packed lunch, Ms. Moses said. The schools appreciate that Moses handles the ordering, payment, pickup, and food distribution in the cafeteria. "Schools really want to be in the business of educating kids," she said. "They don't want to be in the food and beverage(餐饮) business."

    That doesn't mean that schools always like it when teens (or parents) take it upon themselves to order food through phone apps. Many schools have banned that practice, citing safety concerns about delivery drivers showing up at school unannounced and the burden of tracking down students to alarm them that their meals have arrived.

    "These types of deliveries pose an unnecessary security risk for students and staff," said Bernard Watson, director of community relations for Gwinnett County Public Schools in Suwanee, Ga. "In addition, our award-winning school nutrition program provides students with a wide variety of tasty, nutritious meals on-site, so there is no need to order food from outside."

    Jacob Levin, a recent graduate of Bexley High School in Bexley, Ohio, relied on a sub shop to deliver a sandwich to him during lunchtime meetings or other appointments that conflicted with his lunch period. "It was a convenient option. In most cases, I would not have been able to eat at school if it weren't for the delivery option," he said. "Having a restaurant-quality sub also was much more enjoyable than cafeteria food."
