with

only

his stuffed animal

（毛绒玩具）

, Doggie, for companionship. It

’

s a fascinating book, but

little did I know how it would

16

my life and the lives of others.

One day, as I looked across my room at the pile of stuffed animals, a(n)

17

came

to

me.

I

would

18

stuffed

animals

for

children

like

Jennings.

19

,

I

contacted

agencies that support those children and they said the stuffed animals would

certainly

20

children

’

s spirits.

I named my project

“Cuddl

e Buddies

”

. I wrote articles for the local

and school newspapers,

21

donations

of the

“buddies”—

stuffed

animals. My phone

22

ringing; schools, families, and toy factories

all wanted to help. Much to my

23

, by the second week my living

room looked like a zoo. Whenever Mom and I

24

the

“buddies”

to the agencies, the kids would be waiting there with their eyes down,

too

25

to look but shaking with excitement.

Six

years

after

its

launch,

Cuddle

Buddies

continues

to

26 .

Now

over

25,000

stuffed animals have been

27

to agencies worldwide. Simon, a seven- year-old boy in

an African Children

’

s Home, couldn

’

t sleep at night after he lost his parents. When asked

to choose his

“buddies”,

Simon

28

a panda and soon after was sleeping through the

night. I never dreamed Cuddle Buddies would

29

this way.

Upon graduation from high school, I designed a website, ,

to

30

the project. The response was

31

. More and more people joined me and

two dozen Cuddle Buddies

32

were established across the nation.

This has been a great

experience. I’ve

learned how to follow through on an idea and

how to

33

impact a life. I will go to college with these

34

in mind and

continue my work with Cuddle Buddies, even when I

academic and nonacademic pursuits.

An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu

（臭豆腐）

settled onto my grandm

other’s

dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my

appetite, and I pushed the dish away.

“It’s

supposed to stink. Just give it a try!

”

my grandmother said.

Holding

my

breath,

I

unwillingly

took

a

bite.

To

my

surprise,

the

tofu

beneath

the

fried

skin

was

warm,

soft,

and

mouthwatering.

Since

then,

whenever

I

visited

my

grandm

other’s

house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus,

stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish.

Along

with

the

stinky

tofu,

I

would

meet

my

Uncle

Chan

on

every

visit.

As

an

immature boy, I never understood my

uncle’s

condition of Down syndrom

（

e

唐氏综合征）

.

He

was

an

unfriendly and terrible creature in

my

eyes. He

constantly walked around the

house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view, I would run away in fear.

However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of

my

bed

when

I

heard

soft

steps

approaching.

It

was

my

uncle.

My

muscles

froze.

He

slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke

（抚摸）

a baby.

A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not

help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually, and my muscles relaxed. For the first

time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.

My

uncle

very

much

resembles

stinky

tofu.

Stinky

tofu

smells

unpleasant

on

the

outside, yet feels warm and soft on the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncl

e’s

Down

syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless

and has a loving nature.

Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a

regular life. As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are

unable to see through the surface of prejudice

（偏见）

. As a result, they judge the disabled

with one glance.

The

outside

and

inside

of

the

stinky

tofu

exist

as

two

extremely

different

worlds.

Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a

valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.

41

．

Why did stinky tofu become the author

’

s favorite dish?

A

．

It was related to family tradition.

B

．

It turned out to be quite delicious.

C

．

Grandma encouraged him to try it.

D

．

His appetite for food had increased.

Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronologica

（

l

按时间计算的）

age, how old the

calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions

as it compares to average fitness or health levels.

“Chronologi

cal age isn

’

t how old we really are. It

’

s merely a

number,” said

Professor

David Sinclair at Harvard University

. “It

is biological age that determines our health and

ultimately our

lifespan. We

all

age

biologically at

different rates

according to

our

genes,

what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is

the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our

ability

to

control

biological

age,

we

may

have

even

fewer

candles

on

our

birthday

cake

than the previous

one.”

To calculate biological

age, Professor Levine at Yale University

identified

nine

biomarker

（

s

生物标志）

that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood

test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune

（免疫的）

measures,

can be put into the computer, and the < /p>

algorithm

（算式，算法）

do es

the rest.
