A man and his friend were walking through the desert. During the trip they had a quarrel and the man hit his friend in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} face. His friend was hurt, but {#blank#}2{#/blank#} saying anything, he wrote in the sand, “Today my best friend hit me in the face.”

They kept on {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(walk) until they found a lake, where they decided {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (take) a bath. The man's friend fell into the lake and was in a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(danger) situation, but the man saved him{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(immediate). After he came back to life, he wrote on a{#blank#}7{#/blank#}:“Today my best friend saved my life."

    The man {#blank#}8{#/blank#}had hit and saved his best friend asked, “When I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you wrote on a stone. Why?” His friend {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (reply), “ When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where wind can blow it away. However, when someone does something good for {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(we), we must write it down in stone where it can last for ever.”

    Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you that nothing is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(far) from the truth. The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if {#blank#}2{#/blank#} were living in hell (地狱).We have read stories about movie stars who {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(commit) suicide or died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer {#blank#}4{#/blank#}all problems.

    Wealth obtained through dishonest means {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (do) not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Gambling winnings do not bring happiness. Happiness is more a process {#blank#}6{#/blank#} an end. It is a continuous process of honest, productive work {#blank#}7{#/blank#}makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person. As Dr. Wayne puts {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” There is no use {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (say) ''Someday when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, when I achieve the goals, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things to happen and need the external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(miss).

    Old Tom had four sons. He wanted them{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(learn) not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to look at an apple tree in different seasons. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest in autumn. When they all came back, he called them together to describe{#blank#}2{#/blank#}they had seen. The sons had different{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(opinion). Tom then told them that they shouldn't judge a tree, or a person, by only one season.

    It is back to school time in much of the world. Calm, easy mornings {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (replace) with busy, hurried ones. Children wake up early and get ready for school. Many parents are also getting ready for work, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (help) their children and preparing food for lunches. But, don't forget about breakfast!

    When things get {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wild) busy in the morning, some people skip breakfast to save time. But that may be a big mistake for students. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} at home, on the way to school or at school, eating something healthy for breakfast may help a student get better grades. That is the finding of a 2015 study {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Cardiff University in Wales. Researchers there found the students who ate a healthy breakfast were twice as likely {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (perform) above average in educational activities. The researchers also found unhealthy breakfasts-such as potato chips or a donut did not appear helpful to educational performance.

    In 2013, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} organization in the United States, also looked at possible {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (connect) between breakfast and student success in school. The Share Our Strength's campaign, No Kid Hungry, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (find) on average students who ate breakfast attended 1.5 more days of school per year. These students also scored 17.5 percent {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (high) on standardized math tests.
