At the age of 12, most of the kids like to  watch  TV  or1 online games.  But the 12-year-old Jaysea is 2  teaching yoga. She finished 200 hours teacher training and is the youngest yoga  3  now.

    She teaches kids and teenagers yoga. "I want to do this for a long time  4I love so much," says Jaysea, the girl  5long blonde hair and long legs. She seems quieter 6 more serious than most other kids.

    She 7  a twin brother and a 15-year-old  brother.  Their  parents, Rick and Julie  said, "They only go to school three days a  8  . We tell them to think about  9  they want to    do and they have  10  days to do it. And when they finish high school, they will get their favorite11  . "

    Her father says she still 12her best at school. "She finishes all her homework and she13wants to miss a class."

    School doesn't 14before 9:45 a.m. or 10:30 a.m., so Jaysea has enough time to do practice every15at home for an hour.

    Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One early morning, I1 a call for a taxi. When I arrived at the building, it was 2:30 a.m. and I found the building was dark except for the only light in a first floor window.

    Many drivers would just shout once or twice and then drove away, but I thought this 2 might need my help. So I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a3, elderly voice. After a long time, the door opened. A small old man showed up before me,4a small bag. He kept thanking me for my5. “It's nothing,” I told him.

    “Oh, you're such a good man.” He said. When we got into the taxi, he gave me a (an)6, and then asked, “Could you drive through the city center?”

    “But it wasn't the7way.” I answered quickly. “Oh, I'm in no hurry.” He said. “I'm on my way to a hospital. I don't have any family left. The 8 says I don't have much time left.

    I 9 started the taxi and shut off the meter(计程器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city center. He showed me the building where he once worked. We drove10 the church where he got married. He would never forget that happy moment. Sometimes he'd ask me to slow down in front of a building and would sit11the darkness for a long time, saying nothing. When the sun began to rise, we drove in silence to the address he had given me. When we arrived,12 without thinking, I gave him a big hug. “You gave an old man a little moment of13. Thank you!” He said with tears in his eyes.

    I was completely lost in thought for the rest of the day. What would happen if I had refused to do14 I did? We always think that there are no15 moments in our lives, but great moments are just in what others may think small and unimportant ones!

Looking at life differently

    When I was 14, life was boring.

    However, I didn't mind having the same views (风景)every day. And even though my school had over a thousand students, I didn't really care to notice the differences between us all.

    But this boring view of mine 1when my parents bought me a camera for Christmas. After a month of playing with my new camera, I realized I had no 2for taking pictures. Even though I got friends to pose (摆姿势)in front of ancient buildings and in flowery fields, nothing seemed to3. My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity. After a while, I dropped my new hobby.

    Then, a month or two later, I suddenly decided to pick it up again. During the summer break, I went for a walk on the railroad tracks (铁轨)behind my house.

    The tracks are a warm red color. Before the walk, I thought," Maybe I should bring my camera."

    Surprisingly, this 4was what began my love for photography. When I was walking on the tracks without a model and only nature around me, I realized how important it was to look at the details (细节)of things. I didn't worry about trying to 5something beautiful. Instead, I just took photos of the beauty already around me.

    I quickly became6about color, lighting, shape and everything in between. After months of studying outdoor sights and looking at people's eyes, I was 7able to create beauty of my own. Slowly, my photos became something I was proud of.

    So far, my works have appeared in two magazines and been shown in two different museums. They're not huge achievements, but they're important to me. And they're the 8of how much my artistic abilities have grown.

    Thanks to this Christmas gift from my parents, I now have a new way of looking at the world.

    Jack was very excited (兴奋的).It was his first time to visit a city in China. Jack arrived in the afternoon.

    When he got off the train, he felt hungry(饿的)and wanted to 1 some food. But he didn't know 2to find a restaurant, so he bought a 3of the city.

    With the help of the map, Jack walked along Helping Street, and then turned right when he saw the traffic lights.4he didn't see any restaurants there!

    Jack went to ask a policeman 5help. There was a (n)6. Jack couldn't speak any Chinese. Then he took out a piece of paper (—张纸)and 7 a food shop on it. The policeman was8and he knew what Jack wanted to do.9pointed (指)to the map and told Jack to go across the bridge and then walk on for about 100 meters. Soon Jack 10a restaurant.

    It was across from a big hospital.
