    A young man went to visit a wise man who lived deep in the mountain. He wanted to ask for wisdom of life.

    "Excuse me! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Is it the day we were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?" the young man asked.

    "None. The most important day in our lives is today." the wise man replied calmly.

    "Why?" the young man was very surprised. "{#blank#}2{#/blank#}"

    "No. Nothing has happened today."

    "So is it because of my visit?"

    "Even if nobody visited me today, today is still very important, because today is the only wealth we have. No matter how important yesterday is, it has gone by; {#blank#}3{#/blank#}No matter how ordinary and boring today is, it is in our hands."

The young man still wanted to ask something, but the wise man stopped him and said, "When we are talking about the importance of today, we have wasted a lot of it. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    Having understood this, the young man nodded and then went down the mountain.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Therefore, what we should do now is to forget yesterday and tomorrow and catch hold of today!

    There is a new shopping mall near my school. It is very easy to find. It is near the bus stop and the taxi rank. The mall is very big. There are five floors of shops and each floor is very big. There are lots of clothes shops. It is great for girls. However, there are not many shops for boys. There is only one sports shop. I think the mall needs some more. There are lots of restaurants on the top floor. You can eat different kinds of food from different countries. I like Chongqing Restaurant best. It has great food from Sichuan. I like the big cinema. I like watching a film before I go shopping. I do not like the computer games center. It is small and there are too many people. The mall is a fun place to go. It is a good place to meet friends.

    Jean is a bright young woman who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean's family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.

    So Jean spends a lot of her time on QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名的), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name "Linda" on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she contacts quite often.

    Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and he lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot the time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: he was a tall, goodlooking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.

    When Jean's father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him, so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favourite rock singer. But when Jean knocked on David's door in San Francisco, she found that the special friend she had written to was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim.
