In 2016, facing her mid-30s, Sambu decided t retire and mve back t her village. “I thught it was time t think f smething else, maybe finding a jb r starting a family,” she said. “But that hasn’t happened s far.” Instead, she is fcused n finding “future Isabelles”.

Watching Glee, she was thrilled t see a character wh used a wheelchair like her — until she learned the rle was played by an actr wh was nt disabled. “I remember feeling s heartbrken and betrayed (背叛), fr n reasn ther than the fact that I felt seen fr nce as a 10- year- ld watching Glee, and the pwer f that,” says Clt- Lacay.

“Yes, there’s smething that is in my DNA that makes my bdy different frm ther peple’s. But really, what makes me disabled is that peple treat me differently, and I d nt have equal access t resurces,” she said.

4.（2025·全国名校协作体高三上学期10月联考）Fr 15 years I read the bks, tk the curses and dwnladed the apps t try t becme a better persn. Nevertheless, nne f it helped.
I was in my mid-20s when I fell int ne f the mst txic relatinships f my life. I remember buying my first self-help bk, which prmised I culd be healed f anything. I devured it in days and was hked.
Over the next 15 years, I bught hundreds f self-help bks, curses and apps, and tracked dwn every self-styled persnal imprvement expert in the hpe that they culd teach me hw t becme happier, mre cnfident and mre lvable.
Grwing up in an envirnment f addictin and dmestic cnflict made me vulnerable t the industry’s prmises f self-imprvement. I believed self-help authrs culd be the instructrs I had never fund. My dependency became strng after my father died in 2022. I managed t spend an enrmus amunt f time reading abut hw t grieve well instead f ding the right things:sitting with my feelings, allwing myself t cry and prcessing the lss.
My bsessin (痴迷) with self-help had becme txic, and smething had t give. It started t dawn n me that instead f helping me, the advice was making me feel wrse.
I talked with a lved ne and recgnized that in trying t change my life, I was trying t change things that were ut f my cntrl. Instead f fcusing n wh I wanted t becme, I had t quit self-help t learn and accept wh I really was. Spending time alne, ften walking, and listening t my thughts withut trying t silence r change them helped.
Since I quit my self-help cane, I’ve realized that fcusing all my energy n imprving myself can really suck the jy ut f life. It makes happiness cnditinal:nly when I lk that way can I be lved. It can als stp me frm uncnditinally accepting my imperfectly perfect self. After a lng time, I am finally cming rund t the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all.

When I said “Thank yu!”, they laughed, “Yu help us. We help yu.”
That eched in my ears all day. The next mrning, the kids were waiting t push me thrugh the mud t hmewrk club.
And the day after that, it became ur little rutine. The mre they helped me, the easier it gt t help them. The kids and I bnded. I wasn’t alne during my year in Africa. Nt at all.

As the years went by, my designs became mre cmplicated. Making sculptures isn’t actually enjyable. I smetimes wrk fr 16 hurs a day withut breaks, and it takes me up t three mnths t finish a sculpture. I have t hld my breath during the sculpting prcess.
One time, a fly landed n a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was wrking n. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lst. I was heartbrken. Anther time, I accidentally breathed in a micrscpic Alice frm Alice in Wnderland. Alice is nw in the Wnderland frever. But it did give me the chance t make an even better ne the secnd time arund.
My sculptures have taken me t incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a crwn n the head f a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness Wrld Recrd fr creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24-carat gld mtrbike that fitted inside a hair.

16.（2025·福建省福州第一中学高三质检）I was brn with perfect hearing. When I was five, I started getting ear infectins but my parents culdn’t affrd the treatment. Over time, my hearing drpped t 20 percent, where it is tday.
There was always music n in my huse in my childhd. I lved listening t Metallica, and Michael Jacksn. My dad was a DJ, s he played all music. Fr my 18th birthday, my dad asked me t deejay at the restaurant he wned. I was hked. I desired t learn mre. I e-mailed DJ Shiftee, a distinguished New Yrk City DJ, when I was 25: “I knw yu like a challenge. Hw abut teaching a deaf persn t deejay?” He wrte back the next day: “Challenge accepted.” He tutred me twice a week fr tw years, helping me develp crrect technique. I practiced fur hurs a day.
Nw when I’m perfrming, muscle memry takes ver. When I started, I wuldn’t tell the club managers that I was deaf. I wuld just shw up, intrduce myself, and start playing music. At the end f the night, smene wuld say, “Oh, here’s the check.” And I’d say, “What? Oh, I can’t hear.” They were always s astnished. Smetimes I wuld bring dctr’s ntes because they wuldn’t believe me. It was reassurance that they were giving me pprtunities t perfrm because I was brilliant, nt ut f sympathy. Eventually peple started calling me “that deaf DJ,” and the name stuck.
What fascinates me abut deejaying is the creativity. I use sftware that turns the music int lines f clr n a cmputer screen. I’m visually hearing the music. The next time yu g dancing, cver yur ears, and yu’ll “see” the music. Music is nt all abut hearing. I g t elementary schls fr the deaf and talk t them abut mtivatin and believing in themselves. I tell them, “Just chase yur dreams. I’m a deaf DJ, s why nt?”

Baking lver and her bakery with “silent” staffers
Sme peple may pen a bakery t turn their passin int a prfessin. Sme pen a bakery t realize their childhd dream. Fr Zheng Xiayan, funder f Silent Bread Tree, the main reasn she chse t d s is less cmmn.

“And that’s why I named it ‘Silent Bread Tree’. Hpefully the jbs prvided here can help the silent peple feed themselves, just like bread trees feed peple with their bread-like fruit,” Zheng added.
The bakery has 16 emplyees, six f whm are hearing and speech-impaired.

Althugh knwing what she culd d fr the silent cmmunity is very limited, Zheng said the effrts the silent staffs have made t keep the bakery running keep inspiring her t d even mre. Fr every prduct sld, the bakery dnates 0.01 yuan t help prvide artificial cchlea implants (人工耳蜗) t the hearing and speech-impaired children in rural areas.
“If hearing-impaired children culd have artificial cchleae implants at an early age, their lives culd be cmpletely transfrmed. They wuld be able t live like peple with n difficulties in hearing,” said Zheng.

I had entered sme passwrds in a ntebk. Of curse, I didn’t write dwn the actual passwrds, in case it fell int the wrng hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that nly a family member culd figure them ut. Fr example, I cmbined my bank PIN with ur pstal cde, then added it t a list f phne numbers. It wuld fl even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the ne we use t remember peple’s names. Yu knw, yu frm an assciatin between a persn’s characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny Gerge. Skinny Gerge” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upn seeing him, yu’ll burst ut the phrase. “Skinny Gerge” might nt mind, but it’s pssible “Bring Betty” will. As fr remembering passwrds as yu change them, yu culd simply use the first and last letters f yur favrite singer’s greatest hits, tgether with the year f their release.
Maybe I’ll try that ne ut, but nly after describing the system in the ntebk. Then I’ll hide it in a place s secret that I’ll never remember where it is.

26.（2025·辽宁省沈阳市郊联体高三开学）
I tk a trip t visit New Yrk with my dad after graduating frm high schl. One f the places n his list fr us t visit was a “rare vilin shp”. We made ur way dwn the crwded streets and stpped in frnt f a tall building.
This building was nt what I had pictured. I’d been imagining a street-level shp, pen t the public, with sme interesting and lder vilins n display. As we walked inside, we were greeted by a receptinist wh asked if we had an appintment, since they were by appintment nly. I wanted the grund t swallw me whle and decided t give up the visit. Hwever, my dad eagerly tld her, “N, we didn’t but, my daughter plays the vilin with her high schl rchestra. And we wuld lve t just pp inside and brwse! Dn’t mind us!”
The receptinist gave him an dd lk but excused herself t talk t a well-dressed man, wh tld us that since he had n ther appintments right nw, he wuld lve t give us a tur.
The starting price fr a vilin here, we fund ut, was 10 thusand dllars. He shwed us arund a very private-feeling and swanky-lking cnd (奢华的工作间) , pinting ut a rm where he casually mentined he wuld chat with Jshua Bell when he came by. My jaw was n the flr the entire time.
At the end, the man picked up a Stradivarius and asked me t play a string while he held it. And he triumphantly said, “There! Nw yu’ve played a Stradivarius.”
I dn’t remember the man’s name, but meeting him is a real strke f luck fr me and I’m grateful that he decided t shw a n-appintment, nn-custmer visitr arund. His warm behavir helped inspire me t cntinue pursuing my instrument after high schl!
