(2015·日照三校联考)Every Wednesday，I go to Cantata Adult Life Services, a local
retirement
community, with
my
classmates
to
do community service.
Our visits last about an hour, playing board games and cards with the residents __1__
we're there.
You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “life back then”， but nothing
__2__
with talking to the people who were actually there. Just hearing their stories has __3__
me in a way I never thought possible.
Whether it was talking to 98－year－old “Hurricane Hilda” about her glory days
__4__
a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely impressed by every single
__5__
the residents wanted to share with me.
Even the residents who don't have
__6__
memories
make the experience fulfilling. I remember visiting Mrs. Robinson. She couldn't
__7__
much about her past, but she
told me she'd
__8__
forget how kind I was just to listen to
her “rambling (漫谈)”. It made me realize that it's the
__9__
things that make life worth living. That's something I
won't __10__
anytime.
If there's one thing I've realized in my three years of
visiting Cantata，it's __11__—just being there—that means
more than anything to many of the residents. And despite how __12__
our lives are, there's always time to make them happy.
For me, it feels great to be a
__13__
of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a(n) __14__
for old memories. And at the end of the day, that's all that
__15__．
It's easy to feel like you don't have much in common with the __16__—especially when you're a(n) __17__. But that's not true at all.
I hate to make much comment here，but age really is just a(n) __18__. As young adults, it's important for us to realize this sooner

later. We can learn a lot from the elderly，and they can often __20__
from teenagers, too.

(2015·福建高考)One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault－finder.However, life can be __1__ when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I __2__ a letter from seventeen－year－old Kerry, who described herself as a world－class fault－finder, almost always __3__ by things.People were always doing things that annoyed her, and __4__ was ever good enough.She was highly self－critical and also found fault with her friends.She became a really __5__ person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her __6__. Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash.What made it almost __7__ to deal with was that the day before the __8__， Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her __9__ of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to __10__. It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became __11__ her habit of finding fault.Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to __12__ everything so harshly(刻薄)．She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her __13__ as well.
Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault－finding, __14__ when we're honest, we can be sharply __15__ of

Train yourself to “bite your tongue”， and with a little __20__， you'll get really good at letting things go.And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.
