    Two men walked through the countryside toward another village. As they come to the edge of a river, they saw an old woman sitting there upset because the bridge was by the storm, and she was too weak to walk across the stream. The first man said , "We are tall enough, we can carry you across." The second man thought it troublesome, but he agreed reluctantly(不情愿地) . So the two menhands, lifted her between them and carried her across the river. When they got to the other side, they sat her down and she went on her way gratefully. After they had walked another mile or so, the second man began to complain. "My back began to hurt for lifting her." The first mansmiled and nodded without a word

    The second man complained every other mile, his back pain got more and more  . On the Sth mile, he couldn't stand it any more and fell down on the grass. "My back is hurting me so badly. I can't go anybecause of the pain and it is al because we had to carry that silly woman across the river!" Out of, he asked. "why aren't you complaining about it? Doesn't your back hurt?"

    "Of course not, "the first man replied, "You have been carrying the woman since we left the river bank. But I set her down five miles ago."

    We are often like that second man who can't release complaining and pain of. Years later, we still carry the burdens, worn out, and can't go any further.

Don't forget to others when you do something wrong.

Our science teacher asked us we ever been in a maglev train.

About seven items of information can at a time by short-term memory.

Sometimes children are young they can't tell the bad from the good.

    My favourite area in Britain is a county called Northumberland in the north-east of the country. I like it because it has mountains, the sea and history. The mountains are not very high. In China you would probably call them hills rather than mountains as they are less than 1. 000 metres high, but there is something wild about these mountains you get a feeling of space and freedom You can walk for miles without meeting another person.

    Northumberland is full of history. There are seven castles, some of them were ruined and the others still there as they were centuries ago. You can find graves going back to prehistoric(史前的) times and strange carvings on rocks which nobody understands. The coast line is dramatic too, with beautiful sandy beaches. These beaches are rarely crowded because the weather is unpredictable and the North Sea is very cold！People don't go for seaside holidays to Northumberland because of the cold sea and weather, so even in high season there aren't many tourists.

    There is an island called Holy Island off the coast of Northumberland, you can get to the island by car or on foot when the tide is out. There is also one castle I particularly like. It is a 14th century castle which stands on a cliff right by the sea. The castle is almost completely ruined, but it looks dramatic and romantic because you can still see the gate and two of its towers. On a summer's day you can lie on the beach nearby and let your mind wander as you look at this dream-like castle. On a winter's day you can walk to the castle and watch the wave's crash into the cliff, wondering how this castle has stood so long against the forces of nature

    I once said to a friend of mine that I thought this castle by the sea was the most beautiful place in the world. She laughed and said there must be many more dramatic places in the world. In one way. I'm sure she's right, but for me, it's not just about what a place looks like, it's about what it says to you.

    The first day of university our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't know. I stood up to look around when a1hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled(有皱纹的) , little old lady with a smile. She2a minute and said. "Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and responded "Of course you may!" and then she gave me a big one.

    We became immediate friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I always loved listening to this "time machine"  3she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus role model and she4made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she loved the attention from the other students.

    At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football club. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the platform. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her cards on the floor. A little upset she simply said. "I'm sorry I'm so nervous. I5beer for Lent(大斋节) and this wine is killing me！I'll never get my speech back in order" As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge6between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older, but it does take talents and abilities to grow up. .

    One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. However, these words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

    Children grow quickly, especially their feet. But many families cannot anew shoes when a child needs them. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot, Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites(寄生虫) from the soil.

    An American finally has a sfor those barefoot children a shoe that grows with the child. Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long. "It grows in three places; the front, the side, and the back. It can last up to five years. The bis compressed(压缩的) rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather. "

    The shoe comes in two sizes; small that fits children ages 4 to 9 and large for children aged g to 14. Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a vin an orphanage in Kenya. "… and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me. And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were. And she had to copen the front of her shoes to let her toes(脚趾) stick out. At that time I just remember thinking, wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet. "However, Lee says it was ito turn his idea into a reality at that time. "Yet I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that. All these reasons why it really was important for me to try to make the shoes grow are to try to help them. "

    Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. Together, they have sent over 50, 000 pairs of shoes to 70 countries. Lee says a pair of shoes gives a child much protection bself-worth and more chances to succeed.

    You are invited to a large party. Loud music is playing, and lots of people are dancing. Do you dance or talk to as many people as you can all night? Later, you cannot fall asleep-you want more conversation! Or do you prefer a quieter corner? Or perhaps you cannot wait to go home early and relax by yourself.

    Which of these people sound most like you? Person A, who tries to talk to everyone and stays late? Or Person B, who prefers to keep quiet and leaves early?

    If you said Person A, you are probably more extroverted(性格外向的) . If you said Person B. you are probably more introverted(内向的), Or perhaps you are Person C and fall somewhere in the middle. Introverted and extroverted are two commonly used words to describe a person's personality. And they are also commonly misused and misunderstood.

    Introverts may be thought as quiet, shy and timid. Extroverts may be thought as bold, confident, loud and full of energy. Introverted and extroverted people may fit those descriptions, But these same descriptions do not define(下定义) introversion and extroversion properly.

    Introverts and extroverts use their brains differently, and they get their energy differently. Introversion is the state of being mostly concerned with one's own mental life. Extroversion is the opposite. Extroversion is the state of being mostly concerned with what is outside oneself.

    People who consider themselves introverts may say they "need to be alone to charge their batteries". However, introverts may still love being social and going to parties. But such activities require time to prepare.

    Extroverts may say, "I don't need 'alone time'. 1 feel more relaxed being around other people. "Even so, extroverts can still feel unsure or not confident among other people.

    So where do you fall on the introversion/extroversion chart?
