    Jess really felt very happy. When he got to his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation(邀请书)on his desk. It was from some of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip. This was the first time they asked him to join in an out-of-school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like him. In fact, he was so lonely and unhappy that he drowned(沉溺)his feeling with snacks. So he put on lots of weight, and this gave his classmates something more to make fun of him.

    Cindy. who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick worked. Everyone was happy that Jess believed it. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was not true.

    At first, Cindy thought it was fun. But later, when Jess told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag with his savings. Cindy had a second idea. She knew that Jess's family had little money, and she hated to see him spend his savings on something he would never use. Cindy also hated to tell Jess the truth. Her close friends would be angry with her.

    A king received a gift of two great falcons (猎鹰), and they were really beautiful. He gave the birds to his head falconer to be trained.

    One day, the falconer told the king that although one of the falcons was soaring (高飞) high in thesky, the other bird couldn't move from its branch (树枝) since the day it arrived.

    The king called on many falcon trainers to train the falcon, but no one could make the bird fly.

    After he tried everything else, the king thought to himself, "Maybe I need someone morefamiliar (熟悉的) with the countryside to work out this problem.” So he asked his men to go and get a farmer.

    In the morning, the king was surprised to find the falcon was soaring high above the gardens. The king asked the farmer, “How did you make the falcon fly?” The farmer said to the king, “It was very easy. I just cut the branch which the bird was sitting on".

    We are all made to fly. But sometimes we just sit on our branches, don't want to leave the things that are familiar to us. So sometimes our lives are boring and not exciting. Let us learn to cut the branch that we are familiar with and free ourselves to a brave soar!

    Aron Ralston is an American man. He is interested in mountain climbing. He is used to taking risks, and there were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, when he climbed in Utah, he found himself a very dangerous situation. He struggled (抗争) and fought for five days. At last, he saved his own life but lost his right arm. Even after this experience, he kept on climbing mountains. He also wrote a famous book with a single arm.

    Aron's story tells us never to give up. Every person has a dream. It makes us do what we are doing, because it's what we believe in. And everyone has moments when life seems too hard, but never stop going like Aron. Our biggest enemies are hiding in us-laziness (懒惰) and doubt. We should be warriors (勇士) of our dreams and goals and we should keep on fighting for them.
