Helen is a student. She usually gets up at 6:00 in the morning. Then s he has 1 at 7:00. She goes to school 2 about 7:30. She is never late for(从不迟到) school. Helen is a clever girl, 3 she doesn't have any friends.

    One morning, on her 4 to school, she finds a yellow cat. She thinks, “The cat can't find 5 way home.” So she takes it to the zoo.

    Then she hurries(急忙) to 6, but she is late. All the students and her 7 look at her. Her face looks red.

    After(在……之后)class, her teacher 8 to the students, “Helen is a 9 girl. She finds a cat and takes it to the 10.”Now all her classmates like her.

    A man stopped at a gas station and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to 1 and he watched a couple of men 2 along the roadside.

    One man would dig a hole two or three feet 3 and then move on. 4man came along behind to fill in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was about 25 feet behind 5 in the old hole.

    The man with a soft drink was confused. "I can't stand this," said the man walking toward the men. "Stop it," he said to t e men. "Can you tell me what's 6 here?"

    "Well, we work for the county government," one of the men said.

    "But one of you is digging a hole and the other is filling 7up. You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you 8 the county's money?"

    "You don't understand," one of the men said.

    "Normally (通常地) there are 9 of us: I Rodney and Mike. I dig the hole Rodney sticks in the tree and Mike here puts earth 10."

    "Yeah," said Mike. "Today Rodney is sick. But that doesn't mean we can't work, does it?"

    Young Scottish brothers take on a list of 500 adventures

    For Ollie and Harry Ferguson, life is an adventure. For the past four years, the brothers have been working to1a list of 500 challenges and experiences.

    "The idea came about actually from the boys," their father, MacNeill Ferguson, said. "The boys were just asked one day if they could2 some cool things for us to do as a family. They put forward some impossible ideas firstly, like going on a trip to Mars, International Sausage Day and all kinds of3 kids requests. They built the list to a hundred, then kept finding new things we wanted to go and try ... until it got up to 500." They're all listed on the brothers' Facebook page.

    So far they have built an igloo, explored the wilderness, and sent their Lego men to the depths of the ocean and into outer space. Perhaps their biggest 4is playing out right now on the high seas. Last year, Ollie and Harry launched(使下水) a toy ship from the Scottish coast. The ship named "Adventure" sailed across the North Sea to Scandinavia. It then began a ride on a Norwegian boat and was launched 5, this time off the coast of west Africa. It's equipped with a tracking device(跟踪器), allowing the brothers to6every step of the sailing.  But the battery(电池) on the tracking device is becoming weak, so Harry and Ollie hope a passing ship 7 their boat and is able to recharge(充电) its battery, allowing the adventure to continue.

    "Harry, where would you like the boat to go?" Ferguson asked. "Without (a) 8 , that would be China because we all love China." Harry answered. He thought that even there are so many difficulties, the boat will reach China.

    Two girls living next door to each other have two very different life stories. Chi Zhen, an 18-year-old preparatory (预科的) student in Seville, Spain, used his 1 to tell the story of two lives. From the photos, we could learn that they had encouraged many people to 2that the future is in their own hands.

    He took a series of photos of his friends Veronica and Anna Maria. They live completely 3life styles and are getting opposite results.

    In the photos, Anna Maria, a Spanish girl, can be seen 4a TV play. "She spends most of her time on the sofa." says Chi. Anna Maria 5goes out because she thinks she's not attractive and doesn't know 6to say in social situations. She blames her fate（命运）. "I' m not as 7as Veronica," she often says.

    But Veronica, the "lucky" girl next door, has 8herself four foreign languages and traveled to many places. She goes to the 9regularly. She takes part in any conversation and becomes the center of attention because of her 10knowledge and experience.

    Looking at Veronica, it's 11that she's taking control of her fate. In order to communicate with Chi Zhen better, she's studying Chinese. Her experience has 12Chi Zhen to communicate with students from all countries, and she's getting good results. " 13I learned about so many different ideas and attitudes, I still need some time to get used to them," she says.

    The influence of the photos has gone 14beyond what Chi Zhen expected. One of the users commented on his photos on renren.com, saying: "A wall separates two worlds, and the life we have 15what we do. I'd work harder rather than complain about my fate later."

    Four women lived in the same building and all of them were going to a party. They were 1about what dresses they would wear. They final decided to choose a dress that matched the hair colour of their own 2.

    The first woman said, "I will go in red 3 my husband coloured his hair red."

    4 this, the second woman said, "Well, I will5 black because the colour of my husband's hair is black."

    The third woman also had a(n) 6, "Yes, then I would love to go in a 7 dress because my husband has yellow and blonde(金色的)hair!"

    They all turned to the 8 woman, but she stayed quiet. So they asked her 9 she would wear." I am thinking very hard, but I can't 10 a right dress. It seems that I can't wear any dress. I use my husband is bald(秃头的)!" said the woman.

    When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift. It was happiness.

    One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran me over and cut off my arms because of its high speed.

    Several days later when I woke up in the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life1arms. How sad I felt at that time！Even I was full of fears.2 slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn't get my arms back even though I 3 every day.

    However, it's easier said than done. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness4. I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a5mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates get6about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes7; they don't have a mobile phone but 8 have, and so on. But I only enjoy life. I was lucky to realize from an accident: It is a waste of our life to focus on what you have 9. We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy？Someone may say, "My whole life would improve 10I have a new car." But when you get the car, what will happen？For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.

    Happiness depends on what we have！It's in our heart. It's a state of mind. Even though you own the whole world, you may still feel unhappy. Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating(感激)and taking pleasure in what you really have.
