As more students left the spelling bee(拼写比赛), Sally felt braver. It wasn't scary—it was even fun! Soon, only three students were there: Sally, Jun, and Annika.
Jun went first. His word was "bouquet", but he spelled it wrong and had to sit down. He just smiled, not sad at all. Sally smiled back at him.
Next was Annika. Her word was "embarrassed", a hard one. She spelled it slowly: "E-M-B-A-R-A-S-S-E-D." Ms Charlton checked her dictionary and shook her head. "That's not right," she said. Annika looked confused(困惑的), but went back to her seat.
Now Sally was alone. If she spelled "embarrassed" right, she'd win. Her hands shook, but when she saw Jun, she remembered his trick: "Embarrassed means really silly"—double "r" and double "s"!
Sally spelled clearly: "E-M-B-A-R-R-A-S-S-E-D." "Correct! We have a winner!" Ms Charlton said. Everyone cheered. Jun clapped(鼓掌) wildly, and even Annika joined in. Sally couldn't believe she'd won!
1. What did Sally think of the spelling bee when more students left?
2. What helped Sally spell correctly?
3. How did Jun and Annika feel when Sally won?

Loving Yourself in the Coming Year
Posted 30 December, 2025
"Love you, laoji" is a catchphrase now. Literally(字面上), "laoji" means "the old self". Although calling ourselves this way is a bit funny, it makes us feel warm at heart. It's like talking to a good old friend—relaxed and caring.
To ring in the New Year, here are some tips for you to love laoji more in the coming year.
Don't Chase(追求) Perfection. Waiting to be perfect often means never starting. Many people put things off because they're afraid of making mistakes. But doing something imperfect is better than doing nothing at all. Start small. Learn as you go. The first step matters most.
Take Real Rest. Real rest isn't sleeping all day or staying up late on your phone. That only makes you more tired. Try active rest—gentle activities that help your body and mind recover(恢复). Feel the sunshine, go for a walk, or listen to music you like. Choose one or two small things each day to recharge(充电).
Talk to Yourself Kindly. Pay attention to how you talk to yourself. When things go wrong, don't be too hard on laoji. Try saying, "It's okay. I'll try again next time." Treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend.
1. What does "laoji" literally mean?
2. How do people feel at heart when calling themselves "laoji"?
3. Why do many people put things off?
4. How many tips for people to love laoji are mentioned(提及) in the article?
5. What does the writer mean by "But doing something imperfect is better than doing nothing at all."
