Mr. and Mrs. Jones usually 1  out in the evening. But last Saturday, Mrs. Jones 2 to Mr. Jones, "There is a good film at the cinema this evening. Can we go and 3 it?"

    Mr. Jones was quite pleased about it, 4 they went and watched it.

    They came out of the cinema at 11o'clock, got into the car, and began5 home. It was very dark. Then Mrs. Jones said "Look, Bill. A woman is6 very fast, and a man is running 7 her. Can you see them?" Mr. Jones said, "Yes, I can." He drove the car near the woman and said to her. "Can we help you?" "No. Thank you," the woman said but she didn't stop 8. "My husband and I always run 9 after the film, and the last one 10the house."

    Ann is a newspaper reporter. She chose this1so she could travel around the world. The work has taught her many unforgettable (令人难忘的) lessons. She has seen wars, earthquakes and death. But she has 2 seen courage, hope and happiness.

    Last year, she won an award for her reporting in Africa. She was very proud 3 it. At first, she thought she got the award because of her good work. But then she realized that she should thank many other people for 4 help.

    Ann was born in Jamaica. Her family was not poor, but it was not 5 , either. Her parents had to 6 hard so that she could go to school. At school, Ann was not a good student, 7 she enjoyed writing because her English teacher said, "Ann, you are a wonderful 8 " The teacher encouraged her all the time.

    Later, Ann went to university in Canada and then 9 a job. It was very difficult. Then, one day, she went to see the editor of a newspaper in Ottawa. The editor gave her a job. "Everyone needs a 10 at first." he said.

The Beets were a new couple (夫妇). The things in their rooms, such as the television, the computer, the fridge, furniture and so on, were all left by their parents. They only paid some money for their food and clothes. But they tried their best to save money. If they had something important to tell their friends, they always visited them instead of calling them.

One day, it was a quarter past nine. Mr. Beet didn't come back. His wife was a little worried. The supper was cold and she had waited for two hours. She was sitting by the table in the dark room.

Suddenly the woman heard someone coming upstairs. It was her husband's step. She hurried to open the door. In the dark she could hear his deep breathing (呼吸). As soon as he sat down, she turned on the light and found he looked very tired.

"Why do you come back so late, dear?" asked the woman. "Haven't you caught a bus?"

"Yes, but I didn't take it."

"Why not?"

"I ran after it so that I saved two dollars this evening."

"That's great!" the woman said happily. "Run after a taxi next time and you'll save both more time and money."

How did Churchill achieve so much? One key to his success was his strictly observed daily schedule.

Churchill is not a particularly early riser, he is a night owl. Around 8 o'clock, he takes off his sleeping mask to the smell of breakfast. On his bed places a tray（托盘）to his own design, with a cutout for his round belly that allows him to have breakfast and work at the same time.

Churchill usually begins the mornings with a full English breakfast, often accompanied by meat from the previous night, and sometimes a glass of wine. As he picks through his tray of food, he    peruses the morning newspapers. Sometimes he rises, walking to his beloved Clementine in her separate bedroom, to discuss a startling development. From his battle station he dictates（口述）letters, sips from a glass filled with water and some whisky, and reads until late morning. Then he bathes, dresses and begins his day. Lunch is followed by a walk round the gardens and ponds, cards with family and friends then followed by a nap. His nap is exactly an hour long. It allows him, he says, to get more hours out of every twenty-four.

Churchill's daily schedule reveals important principles for success: he knows how to get things done. He is one of the most productive men who ever lived. To achieve productively, he always follows two principles. The first he learnt from Napoleon: strength of force in the most important places. The second is economy of effort（节约能量）.

Economy of effort is one of Churchill's excellent characteristics（特征）. His daily work in bed saves energy for later, when he will often dictate from a stand-up desk. When travelling he is even more economical. Never stand when you can sit down, he will advise a visitor. "Never sit down when you can lie down, and never to miss an opportunity to visit a washroom, as there is no knowing when the next chance will appear."

Hangzhou is a good city to live and visit. Many places like the West Lake and Lingyin Temple are very 1 . There are millions of people visiting them every year. But to me, I 2  Xixi Wetland Park. It is about ten kilometres from the West Lake. And it is China's first national wetland 3 . I didn't go there until last year 4  I have worked in Hangzhou for about 7 years. 

Last June, I got ill and had to have a 5  for days at home. The doctor saidI should get close to 6  often. He said the natural world would be better for my 7  than medicine. I listened to him and 8  the park with my husband for the first time. 

Tall trees, green grass and fresh air made me 9 . I forgot my busy work and illness. When I saw fish 10  freely in the river, I felt like I was a fish. My 311  said, "There are many rivers, 12  and marshes(沼泽) in the park. In fact, the waterways are over 100 km 13 . Over 50 kinds of fish and aquatic(水生的) animals are 14  here. This park is home to many animals. "

I'm not sure if the plants, fish and birds like the wetland park, but I 15  it. It really makes me relax.
