“Why are you unwilling to accept this opportunity in space?

    Many people need to be reminded of the job opportunities in space stations, which{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (constant) need space cooks, cleaners, teachers, stewards and stewardesses.

    One day,the lion king announced that he was going to get married,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}invited all the animals to attend the wedding ceremony.So the tortoise thought,“I am an animal.I shall attend it as well.”Then he set out on the journey.

    On his way,he met{#blank#}2{#/blank#}animals.They were{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(surprise) for a few seconds and then began to laugh at the tortoise,saying,"How silly you are!The ceremony is starting.Can you make{#blank#}4{#/blank#}as you walk so slowly?I'm afraid you still can't be there after the baby lion king is born,or grow up or even{#blank#}5{#/blank#}he gets married."But the tortoise had made his mind{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(go).

    Many years passed,and he finally got to the entrance of the lion king's cave.No doubt{#blank#}7{#/blank#}the lion king's wedding{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(finish)a long time ago.However,the tortoise found that the cave was so well-decorated and all varieties of animals were there.They told the tortoise,"Today,the son of{#blank#}9{#/blank#}old lion king is going to get married."

Wayward Penguin(企鹅)Released South of New Zealand

    He needed a little push before speeding backward down a slide. Once in the water, he held his head up for one last look. And then he was gone. The wayward emperor penguin {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (know) as “Happy Feet” was back home in Antarctic waters after a temporary stay in New Zealand.

    Happy Feet was released into the ocean south of New Zealand on Sunday, more than two months after he came ashore on a beach nearly 2,000 miles from home and became an instant celebrity. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (speak) from a satellite phone, Wellington Zoo veterinarian Lisa Argilla said Happy Feet's release went remarkably smoothly. Argilla said crew members from the boat carried the penguin inside his box to the rear part of the ship for his final send-off.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} when they opened the door of the box, the penguin showed no interest in leaving.

    “I needed to give him a little tap on his back,” Argilla said.

    The penguin slipped down the slide on his stomach, bottom first, she said. He resurfaced about 6 feet from the boat, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (take) a look up at the people aboard, and then disappeared beneath the surface.

    “I was really happy to see him go,” Argilla said. “The best part of my job is when you get to release animals back into the wild {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they are supposed to be.”

    The 3-foot-tall bird was found on June 20 on Peka Peka Beach, about 40 miles northwest of New Zealand's capital, Wellington. It has been 44 years {#blank#}6{#/blank#} an emperor penguin was last spotted in the wild in New Zealand.

    At first, conservation authorities said they would wait and let nature take its course with the penguin. But it soon became clear the bird's condition was growing {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bad), as he swallowed sand and, likely mistaking it for snow.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the world watching, authorities finally took action, moving the penguin to the Wellington Zoo four days after he was discovered. It was at the zoo {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the bird was given a home in a room filled with a bed of ice so he wouldn't overheat.

    Now that Happy Feet {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (nurse) back to health, his chances are as good as they are for any other penguin in the wild.

    “He swam away, not caring about us anymore,” Argilla said.

She paused.

    “And that is a good thing,” she said.

    In his book, Intentional Living, author John Maxwell shares that back in 1976, he received a gift from one of his{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(assist). As he unwrapped the gift, he saw that it was a book {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(name) The Greatest Story Ever Told. He couldn't wait{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(read) it.

    But when he opened the book, he was{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(astonish) to see that the pages were blank. Inside the book was{#blank#}5{#/blank#}note that said, “John, your life is before you. Fill these pages with kind acts and good thoughts of your heart. Write a great story about your life.” The intention of writing the story of his life excited him. Then, he {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(begin) to write his book.

    Every day we live out our story through our words, actions and decisions. But we must remember to live with intention to focus on what{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(matter) most in life and to regain that focus when we get changed. Without intention, we can become unfocused in things{#blank#}8{#/blank#}needn't add to a life of significance and difference in our world.

    Life isn't perfect and it's always hard,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}we need reminders in our life from a friend, author, blogger, pastor or our inner spirit to re-focus us on the things that matter and make us live{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(positive).
