It was a very important day for Ryan—he was about to make his first public speech. His 1 ，Mr. Larson，had told the class to choose a book，read it，and then make a speech about it. Ryan had chosen a book he liked. He had read it carefully. Then，he had written down what he wanted to say about the book and prepared a speech. He had practiced his speech many times，but he was still 2 . Ryan didn't know whether he would be successful. He did not want to look bad in front of the whole class.
Finally，Mr. Larson said to the class， "Okay，Ryan，let's hear what you have to say. Come up and give us your speech. " Ryan took a few deep breaths (呼吸）. He still couldn't help feeling a little worried. Then，he 3 his notes，straightened up and walked slowly to the front of the room. Mr. Larson sat down in one of the front﹣row seats and gave Ryan a4 as he nodded for him to begin. Ryan cleared his throat，took a quick look at his 5 ，and then started his speech.
For a moment or two，Ryan still felt very nervous. But as he went through his speech，he felt less and less like running away. He had practiced often enough so that nothing in his speech was new to him anymore. It wasn't long before he6 and was able to almost enjoy what he was doing. By the time Ryan finished his speech，he felt almost comfortable.
When Ryan stopped speaking，everyone in the class stood up and 7 . Mr. Larson said， "That was a very well﹣prepared speech，Ryan. You did an excellent job. " Rysn thought about how much he had practiced to get ready for his speech，and he felt 8 . He still didn't like making speeches，but now he knew he could do it.

I always wanted to be an only child，so I wouldn't worry about someone taking the remote（遥控器） during a"big game". However，I had an older sister，Christie.
I started playing basketball when I was eight. My dad was the coach of my team，and my mom kept score. So，my sister，who wasn't old enough to stay at home alone，had to come to all of my games. She looked like she didn't want to be there，but she cheered with the crowd anyway.
On the way home from the games，my parents and I talked about everything I did on the court （球场）. My sister sat in the backseat with me in silence. She didn't really understand what was going on in the games. But most nights，she came into my room and said， "Good night，Brad. Good game. "I would smile and thank her. I never really took her compliment（赞美） seriously.
When I was in high school，Christie didn't have to come to my games anymore. But she still came every week，cheering me on. I remember the last game of the season. My sister came with a large group of her friends. Printed on her shirt，in big，bright red letters，were the words "BRAD'S SISTER". Suddenly，I was embarrassed （尴尬的）. I felt embarrassed，not because she was there but because I'd never thanked her for helping me before.
My sister left for college a few months after that last game，and I am an only child now. But now that she's gone，I miss having someone to fight with for the remote a lot.
I went to visit her at college for a weekend，and as I stood outside her dorm（宿舍），waiting for her to come out，a friend of hers walked past me and questioned，"Hey，aren't you Christie's brother?" I said proudly， "Yeah，I am. I'm Christie's brother. "
Many families have trouble deciding whether or not to get a pet. However，it's worth（值得的） taking the time to pick the right pet.
Some pets can make people more active. A group of researchers did a study that looked at how people exercised. The study included people who had dogs at home and people who did not. The researchers found that the dog owners exercised more often and for a longer time. Dogs depend on their owners to take them for walks or throw a ball to them. These activities provide exercise for pet owners.
Many people's health problems come from experiencing stress （紧张）. Having a pet in the house makes them feel less stressed. Pets have also provided hospital patients with companionship. Researchers monitored patients at a hospital that allowed pets in patients' rooms. They compared patients who spent a lot of time with a pet with those who did not. The researchers studied how long it took for each patient's condition to improve. They found that having a pet around helped people get better faster. Pets make people calm，and calm patients get better more quickly.
Many people believe that pets cause allergies（过敏） in children. However，one surprising health benefit （好处） researchers have discovered goes against this belief. It turns out that having a pet can help keep kids from getting allergies. In 2011，a study was done in Detroit on babies who had been around pets from birth to age one. The children studied had a smaller chance of becoming allergic to pets as they got older. Young children are less likely to get pet allergies if they get to know pets when they are young.
Pets can make people feel happy and also keep away feelings of loneliness. Research has shown that pets provide social support. People experience feelings of loneliness less often when they have a pet at home. Pets can give meaning and a sense of purpose to people's lives.
Everyone who lets a furry friend into their home can enjoy the many benefits of having a pet. Stop by an animal shelter （收容所），and see which pet might be right for you and your family.
I have three exams next week. So，I'll spend most of the weekend studying. I'm worried about the exams，but they aren't the only thing I'm worried about. Like most people，I'm worried about missing out on all the fun activities my friends will do.
I have serious FOMO——fear （害怕） of missing out. It is the feeling or idea that you are missing out on something important or enjoyable that others are experiencing. And a big part of FOMO is the feeling that your friends won't miss you when you're not there.
FOMO is a pretty common feeling，especially when people are going out more. Social media （社交媒体） makes it even worse. It's easy to see other people doing fun things while you're doing something boring. Don't get me wrong—I also do fun things，but I still get caught up in FOMO.
Worst of all，I feel like I'm missing out on things I don't even want to do. Even though I don't want to go to a party，I still get FOMO when I think about my friends who are already there. When you feel like you're missing out，it can be hard to decide if you even wanted to go out in the first place. It can make you do things you don't want to. No one wants to miss a joke or see all the pictures when they weren't there. But it's important to take a step back and think about it. Would you have suggested that activity?Do you really want to go，or do you want to go because your friends are going?Do you have something else you'd rather be doing?
Even though FOMO can be harmful to your life，it can also have some good benefits. I know a lot of people who joined clubs or took up new hobbies because their friends did. A lot of these clubs and hobbies have made people happy，including me. In that way，I owe（归功于） some of my school experience to FOMO.
So it's best to avoid FOMO as much as possible. The best thing to do is to check in with yourself and notice how you feel. If you have a good reason for not doing something，don't worry too much about missing out. Do what's best for you，even if that means uninviting yourself from a plan. Your friends are your friends for a reason——they won't forget about you.
