When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away from home. With my bag and some sandwiches, I started for the front door and said to Mom, “I'm 1.”
“If you want to 2, that's all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.” I 3 my bag and sandwiches on the floor heavily and started for the door again.
“Wait a 4,” Mom said. “I want your 5 back. You didn't wear anything when you 6.” This really angered me. I took my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all—and 7, “Can I go now?” “Yes,” Mom answered, “but when you close that door, don't hope to come back!”
I was so 8 that I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out of it. 9 I found that I was outside with 10 on. Then I noticed that two neighbor girls were walking to my house. I ran to 11 behind a big tree in our yard at once. After a while, I was 12 that the girls went away. I rushed to the front door and knocked on it loudly.
“Who's there?” I heard.
“It's Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the 13 answered, “Billy doesn't live here any more. He ran away from home.” Glancing(瞥) behind me to see if anyone else was coming. I begged(乞求), “Aw, come on, Mom! I'm still your son. Let me 14!”
The door opened and Mom's 15 face appeared(出现). “Did you change your decision about running away?” she asked.
“What's for supper?” I answered.

I work as a volunteer for the poor in Haiti. I decided to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate(教育) him.
Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and smiled, “Really hard.”
After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said regretfully(遗憾地), “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy. He always hated French classes.
One day, I was interviewing(采访) a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write and became part of the leadership(领导层) of the village. That really touched my heart.
Learning her story, Brain was greatly touched. His eyes were wet and there was love and respect(尊重) on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brain even offered(提供) to stay in as a volunteer. This trip was very meaningful.
When the bell rings, every student takes out an iPad. The light from the screens makes their young faces pretty and lively. That's what happens every day at my school in the US. We use iPads in class.
I felt surprised and excited when I got an iPad the first day I arrived at the school. But it was not free. I spent about $100 to rent (租) it for three years.
Every iPad at my school has a special learning system (系统) called Focus. Teachers put their teaching materials(材料) like textbooks and PPTs on it. When we have classes, we enter the system and download (下载) the materials with our iPads.
It makes the classes interesting and efficient (高效的). For example, a few weeks ago, we learned about London in the UK. Our teacher prepared a video. Through the video, we saw many places of interest in London. We could not only watch the video, but also see the words at the same time. Because of the video, I know more about the city.
We also do our homework with iPads. We can know how well we do our homework right after we hand in our homework.
However, there are still some bad points about learning with iPads. Some of my classmates play games or surf the Internet in class.
I believe the key to use iPads well is to have good self-control (自制), isn't it?
Now and then we all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us something to take. The medicine(药) often makes us well again. But sometimes the doctor's medicine doesn't work. A sick person does not get well. The pain(疼痛)will not go away. This happened to one man. He was in hospital, but he was not getting well. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This new “doctor” was his own sense of humor. He saw funny films. He read funny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. He said laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so, too.
Another man was also ill, and he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors could not stop it from hurting. So the man began to “Picture” his pain. In his head he “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined(想象)it as a real dog. And he made friends with the dog. And his pain went away!
These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So visit the “doctor” inside your own head and you can stay happy and well.
If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver(勇敢的), just try the following things:
Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide(掩盖) it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable i n talks.
Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don't waste time worrying about your look or whether(是否) people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it's not so ha rd to talk with others.
Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself "You can make it." Keep trying and one day you'll never feel shy when you talk to others.

Some people have a very good memory(记忆) and can easily learn quite long poems(诗) by heart. Ohave poor memory and can only remember things when they have said again and a.
The famous English writer, Charles Dickens, said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the n of every shop on both sides of the street. Many great men of the world have a w memory.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by r what he hears when he is a small child. Some children live with their parents in foreign countries and they seem to l two languages as easily as one. In school it is not so e to learn a foreign language because students have little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects too. A man's mind is quite like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we f, hear, smell and taste. When we take real photos with cameras, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to s to our friends. In the s way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
