21、For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn’t attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn’t last long.

I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.

I entered adulthood thinking I wasn’t “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self-improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.

I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self-­reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self­hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.

I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck’s back.

22、   Our family is very familiar with wild animals.We lived in the mountains. There were a number of things we were taught as children that most “city folk’ don’t understand. Here are a few stories between us and wild animals.

I think I was 15 when this happened. It was 5:30am on a cold winter morning . It had just started to snow heavily, and I went out to feed the chickens in my back yard . I don’t know why the door of the yard was open that night. At daybreak, my father came in and asked me if I had seen anything unusual. I replied that I hadn’t . He took me out and showed me bear tracks right next to mine .Obviously, the bear had been frightened of me and left. I wasn’t brave , it was good luck for me.

A few years ago, my husband, father and I went up to Mountain Baldy . At the top, many people were enjoying picnics. Some deer came wandering out , and some people fed them. Some even tried to pet them .We also gave them some food. When they went into the woods, some people followed them.

Our next door neighbor even fed a wolf. She offered her dog food and put out table scraps.(剩食物). The animal came on time for the foods. No matter how we tried to get her to stop , she couldn’t.

23、On November 14, I met an author and civil rights hero who changed the world at the age of six. Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to attend an all-White school in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1960.

The civil rights hero’s courage is now recognized yearly on Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. We spoke at a school in Alameda, California, where students participated in the event and also got a chance to meet Bridges. I asked her about the spirit behind the day, which included more than 325,000 schoolchildren nationwide this year.

“There was a fifth-grade class,” Bridges explained, “and a very special student who was so connected to my story, she said, ‘Ruby Bridges should have her own holiday.’”

That was in 2018. The students wrote to their state government. After three years of effort, Ruby Bridges Walk to School was established in their home state of California. Bridges hopes that it will become nationwide. “If it does,” she added, “I want it to really mean something.”

Bridges imagines “a day of dialogue, where students can sit down and really talk about how they can make a difference in the world.” Just one small act, like cleaning up a park or helping feed people, she added, would be meaningful.

We also talked about I Am Ruby Bridges, her latest book. I asked Bridges how it differs from other stories she has written.

“What a lot of people don't know is that I have a sense of humor,” Bridges said. “So I thought, I’ m going to write this particular version of my story, when I was six, and how funny my thoughts were.”

More than 60 years ago, Bridges changed the world with her walk into an all-White school. Her quest for social justice continues. “I will bridge the gap between Black and White,” she said, “and hopefully between all people. ” Students today are hoping to follow in her footsteps.

C．She fought for free education.

D．She suggested creating a festival.
