    The Sweetest Sight

    I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.

    It was an amazing week for my husband and me –the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my 1to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to 2our two children and started off.

    During the week's time, 3visited London and Paris –as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful places we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    On our last night in Paris,4we enjoyed the night view(夜景) of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother 5the phone. In a second, my husband's face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something6happened.

    “What's wrong?” I asked.

    He didn't answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said 7to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and8his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.

    At that moment, Paris suddenly lost its charm(魅力).

    “I don't want to be here! I shouldn't be here! I should be home 9my kids!”

    We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport …

    Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children's bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no10sight(风景)in the world than your children's faces that greet you at home.

    Jimmy is a very kind young man. He works in a big supermarket. His workmates like him very much. Last month Jimmy caught a bad cold, and he stayed in bed for about two weeks. But after he got well, something happened-he couldn't stop winking(眨眼) . When he stayed at home, he was all right as usual. But if he went out, he couldn't stop his eyes from winking.

    Jimmy went to work the next morning. On the way he met a policeman and winked at him. The policeman felt surprised but said nothing. Then he met an old man and winked at him. The old man thought he must be mad. But still he didn't say a word.

    Real trouble started when he met women. First he met a young lady. He winked at her. The woman's face turned red, and ran away as fast as she could. And then he met an old woman who carried a walking stick. Jimmy winked at her. She looked closely at him. Jimmy winked again.

    Without saying a word, she hit Jimmy on the head with her walking stick. "Take that!" she cried out. "This is a lesson(教训) for you."

Poor Jimmy! How could he explain it? He ran away quickly. From then on, he always wears a pair of dark glasses when he goes out.

    Once upon a time there were two boys who lived in a place and worked for the King One boy fell in love with a girl and wanted to give her a present. He suddenly saw a vase filled with the loveliest flowers.

    He decided to take one flower and give it to the girl He did the same thing the next day, and the next, and the next…until, one day, the King noticed a few flowers were left in the vase. The King was so angry that he gathered everyone in the palace and decided to find out the truth.

    When they all stood before the King, the boy thought he should tell the truth.  However the other boy told him not to tell the truth because the King would be angry with him. When the king came near, the boy shook with fear. But he still decided to confess.

    As soon as he told the truth, a smile appeared on the King's face The King said to the boy, "I couldn't have thought of a better use for my flowers".

    Then the King went to the vase and took two of those wonderful flowers, one for the girl, and the other for the Queen.

Malaria(疟疾) has been a deadly problem for humans since ancient times. Countless people have died from the illness. Thankfully, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found a useful medicine called qinghaosu.

In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a medicine against malaria. Her team took a special way.▲After reading more than 2,000 old treatments, Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible treatments for malaria. One treatment, which is 1,600 years old, uses sweet wormwood. Tu found it useful and tried to extract(提取) the qinghaosu from it in order to makea medicine. The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way. She used a low- temperature way to extract the qinghaosu and finally succeeded in 1972.

Next, Tu and her team did lots of tests with qinghaosu in fighting against malaria. After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her team members offered to test the medicine on themselves before testing on human patients. It turned out that qinghaosu was safe and all patients in the test became well. Gradually, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised people to use qinghaosu as the first- line treatment for malaria. It saved millions of lives around the world.

In 2015, when Tu won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, she didn't accept all of the honor. Instead, she praised her team members and Chinese traditional medicine. She once said," Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world."

A man was walking in the countryside. When he saw some elephants, he stopped. He wondered how the trainer(训练员) could hold these 1 animals only by a small rope(绳子). The elephants could 2 the rope anytime they wanted, but they did not.

He 3 the trainer why the animals didn't try to run away. The trainer said," When they were very 4 and smaller, we used the same rope to 5 them from running away. At that age, it can keep the elephants staying in the same place. When they grow 6 , they slowly believe that they can't break the rope, so they7 try to run away again."

The man was 8 . These animals could break the rope anytime they wanted,9 because they thought they couldn't , they just stayed quietly.

How many of us are like these elephants— thinking we can't do 10 just because we met failures(失败) once before?

Failure is a part of 11 . If we failed once, it doesn't 12 we can never be successful(成功的). We should never 13 trying when we meet failures in life. We should always tell14 : just like the elephants can break free if they 15 , we can also reach our goals one day.
