Ever since I was a child，my mouth has caused me trouble．I'm not a bad person；I have just had a hard time learning when to keep my mouth closed．

My mom has told me again and again，"Robert，your constant bad words are hurting me．If you continue to be this rude，you will get into big trouble．"

    It's been a problem at school several times，too，when teachers have told me something I didn't want to hear．I used to feel it was my duty to stand up for myself and tell them ______ off．

    One day in English class I began working on my homework until I heard a classmate talking behind me．It was Nathaniel，talking to himself as usual．

I said ever so nicely，"Nathaniel，would you be quiet?"

Nathaniel continued talking to himself．I quickly shouted，"Nathaniel，shut up!"

    For the next five minutes，we threw hurtful words back and forth at each other．

"At least I don't have an ugly lazy eye like you!"I shouted．

    I knew this would bother him deep inside．It would hurt his feelings and shut him up．

What I said filled him with anger．He tried to reach over my seat and grab me as he shouted．"That's it! That's it!"

    Surprised at his reaction，I sat back in seat．Never had I seen Nathaniel act like this before．

Later on，we were taken to the principal's office．

There，the principal told US to discuss the matter．It wasn't until then that I finally found that when I hurt someone physically，the wounds(伤口)eventually heal．But when I hurt them with my words，sometimes the pain never goes away．

    At the end of the discussion，I said sorry to Nathaniel．

    When I headed back to my room，I spent some time praying． I began to think about how often what I said hurt others．But I believe that as I keep praying and asking God to help me，he'll tell me when to keep my mouth closed．

    Running a marathon (马拉松) is difficult enough. Doing it with eyes closed for 26.2 miles is more difficult. But that's exactly what Mike Bruno plans to do during the Pittsburgh marathon.

    He's doing this for his 7-year-old daughter, Cassie, who doesn't like to communicate with others and has been blind since birth. “Having a blind daughter clearly has caused me a lot of trouble,” Bruno said. “ But it doesn't matter. I love my daughter. I hope to get a better understanding of how she deals with her daily life. I hope this journey will finally make me a better father to guide Cassie through her life.”

    “When the doctor told us 'Your baby is not going to see', that was the most terrible experience we had ever had,” said Bruno.

    “Sometimes I walk around the house with my eyes closed to see what it's like for her,” said Cassie's older sister, Carly, 9 years old. “It's kind of scary. You don't know where everything is.”

    But Cassie has fought against difficulties, and her father plans to do the same. “I closed my eyes, and I got ready, and then I tried running, just to see what it is like for her,” said Mike Bruno. “I want everyone to know it's OK. It's OK to ask us questions, but it's not OK to look at us and point to us with surprise. If you'd like to ask us, we will be happy to tell you our story. ”

    I had great experiences in Wuzhen. It left me a great impression (印象) during my recent four-day stay there.

    Free Wi-Fi in public areas is now available (可得到的) there. Such service (服务) is common in cities, but I didn't imagine there was such service in a small town like Wuzhen, When I arrived at Wuzhen that evening, I was very surprised! I couldn't to do two things: connect to Wi-Fi and go around the town. Where there's the Internet, there is a way.

    I found a bicycle station along the street. A notice guided me on how to get a bike using my smart phone. It offered me a two-hour free ride and I enjoyed it a lot. The locals have enjoyed the free bike service since last year.

    Later, locals told me hundreds of such bicycles became available at the beginning of last year. Hundreds of new-energy vehicles (交通工具) can fee used if you pay a little money. Again, you need a smart phone to make use of the service.

    I rode across streets and roads, past many places. I found the Internet was used everywhere in the town.

    I've interviewed many officials in other areas of China. And I often wanted to remain connected with them through WeChat. However, many of them would just excuse themselves, saying they don't use the social media as they have too many things to do every day. But most of the Wuzhen's officials said, "Nowadays, many things are completed with the Internet, and we're sure that Internet will become more and more important. We can reach further by using it."

    Mr. Brown got up late this morning. He was going to be late for work. It was raining hard and the streets were wet. He drove so fast that he didn't see the red lights. He couldn't stop his car and hit a car. An old man got out of the car and called out angrily, "What are you doing? How can you drive so fast?"

    "I'm sorry, sir," said Mr. Brown, "l didn't see the lights turn red." "Then he brought out a bottle of wine (酒)and gave it to the old man.

    It's cold today, sir," said Mr. Brown. "Please drink a little, and then you'll get warm."

    The old man drank some wine and became happy. He asked, "I'm feeling much better now. Why don't you drink any?"

     "I can't drink anything now, sir," answered Mr. Brown" I'm waiting for the policeman. Only drunkards(酒鬼)cause accidents, you know!"
