I love beautiful scenery as much as others do，but I have always focused downwards wherever I walk.I love finding unexpected treasures - the habit likely goes back to my childhood.Even today，I engage in this obsession while walking the dog up and down the river park，Don Valley.
In January 2019，a few days after an unusually heavy snowfall，I was struggling through the Don Valley as usual with my dog.Snow days are not the best for treasure hunting，so I was surprised to see a shiny gold beneath the snow near the bottom of a hill.I carefully took out a ring decorated with a Cartier logo.I walked into the local coffee shop nearby to see if anybody had reported lost jewelry.Sadly，they had no news，so I headed home to print up flyers（傳單） to post around the neighborhood.I also tried a local Facebook group.
I waited and waited but nobody called to lay claim to my small treasure.After putting it on the shelf，I eventually forgot all about it.That is，until many months later when our daughter Katie came back home for holiday.She happened to see the ring when reaching a book.With far better eyesight，she soon noticed the tiny letters on the inside of the ring that read，"Omar and Yoshi." It was so obviously important to them.I promise to do whatever I could to track down this couple.
We searched through years of wedding notices but there was nothing on record for those two names.Frustrated（感到沮喪），I began to give up hope，then had one last thought：why not call Cartier stores in the city？I called one store.An understandably confused gentleman listened to my story，went silent for a moment and then stated that the ring was totally untraceable（無跡可尋的）.He apologized，and I was about to hang up when he suddenly asked if I had found a name on the ring.I told him just the first name，Omar.
"Omar？" he said excitedly. "Omar and Yoshi？"
After nearly a whole year，I finally made it to return my small treasure to Omar and Yoshi.

1．Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students，free periods （課、節(jié)） are useless.From what I have seen，few do homework. （1）
.This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
（2）.Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窯）. （3）.Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However，the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
（4）!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. （5）.
A.Our school offers many classes
B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead，many are on their phones and talking
E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：7引用：5難度：0.5 -
