        In a fast-paced world driven by noise, excitement, and continuous connections due to technology, I think we've lost a(n) 1 for something essential to the human experience: Quiet.

Like so many evenings, the call of the internet had 5 me in, and the beautiful July night in Pennsylvania was6 —until my husband stepped in and reminded me that there's more to life than noises, likes and followers.

        Gone were the rings of notifications(通知), the honking horns of cars flying by, and the 10of YouTube videos. In their place, a silence 11 something we both know but sometimes lose 12 of: Life's quiet, simple moments are sometimes the most beautiful.
