    I'm Philip.Whenever I think about my past life,one unusual experience comes into my mind.It happened during my summer holidays last year.

    Last May,my father began to work in a new factory and we moved to a house near it.There were hundreds of fish and snakes in a river not far from the factory.Among them,the cobra(眼镜蛇)was the most dangerous one.My brother and I played a lot in the river during our summer holidays.In the afternoons,we liked to go out to catch fish from the river.Sometimes we also caught some water snakes,but they were not harmful.

    One afternoon,as I put my hand into the river,I touched something cool.Thinking it was a fish.I gripped(紧抓)it at once and tried to bring it out.But to my surprise, it was a cobra!I relaxed my grip at once and ran away.My brother,a few metres away,was too surprised to speak when he saw the cobra moving towards him with its mouth open.He started to run.I stopped to pick up a rock and threw it at the cobra.Surprisingly,the cobra now turned towards me and I had to run again.But I was very tired at that time,and couldn't run quickly.Luckily, my brother soon found a big rock.He threw it at the cobra and killed(杀死)it.

    After that,my mother didn't allow us to play in the river any more.We listened to her.After all,it was something we'd never want to experience again.

举一反三
    On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
    I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old.”
“Why are you in university at such a young age?”I asked. She replied, “I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.”
    I knew she was joking. I was curious(好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
 “I always dreamed of having a university education and now I'm getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom(智慧) and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.
    At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I've learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”
