Imagine a life without arms or legs! You can't hold anything in your arms. You can't walk anywhere with you feet. How would you last a day like that? Would you{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (微笑) at yourself in the mirror like Nick Vujicic, the 29-year-old Australian?

    Nick was born without limbs(四肢)，so life was not{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (容易) for him. At school many students played {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (笑话) on him because he looks different from everyone else. He was refused to be their friends, so he always felt {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (孤独的). However, he faced that bravely. He{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (学习) to type and write with two toes(脚趾) at the age of six, and he could even surf and play golf. In college, he achieved great {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (成功) and was among the most excellent students in the studies. And he decided on what to do later in his life—to encourage others to work hard for their {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (梦想).

    Now Nick is one of the most {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (受欢迎的) speakers in the world. He travels to many countries and gives speeches about his story{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (对抗)difficulties. “Living life fully is about looking at what you have, not what you don't have.” he said. His story encourages{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (百万) of people. “ I tell people to keep on getting up when they fall and to always love themselves,” he said. “If I can encourage just one person, then my job in this life is done.

Make a life list of animals

Write down the names of ten animals you've seen in the last month. It can be any animal, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} an elephant in a zoo to your pet dog at home. Congratulations! You've just started your "life list" of animals. You can add more {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to your list anytime. You don't have to finish it in a certain time. You can keep adding to it for the rest of your {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

This idea is borrowed from bird watchers who record the names of all the birds they see. Your list can include {#blank#}4{#/blank#} animal you see, whether it's on land, in the ocean, or in the air. It's like "collecting" your {#blank#}5{#/blank#} animals without disturbing (打扰) them in their natural habitats (栖息地).

If you {#blank#}6{#/blank#} this sounds difficult, you can start with your own backyard. You might be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} at the number of birds, insects and other small animals you can find there!

When you go camping or travel, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a wildlife encyclopedia (百科全书) or a guide book and a notebook with you. That way, you can add animals from places far away to your list. You can also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your list on the social media (媒体) with others.

Ask your friends {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their own life lists and share tips for the best places to see wildlife. Comparing {#blank#}11{#/blank#} you've seen is part of the fun! Now, get out and start looking for animals. Happy exploring!
