Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys 1 to watch.

    “What are you doing?” asked one of the 2.

    “We plan to dig a hole all the way through Earth!” one of the brothers answered 3.

    The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all through Earth was 4.

    After a long silence, one of the diggers 5 a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide types of insects. He removed the lid (盖子) and 6 the wonderful things to the visitors.

    Then he said quietly and 7 , “Even if we don't dig all the way through Earth, look at what we've found along the way!”

    Their goal was far too ambitious (有雄心的), but it did cause them 8. And that is what a goal is 9 — to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen.

    But not every goal will be fully 10 . Not every job will end 11. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every 12 will be realized.

    But 13 you fall short of aim(达不到目标), perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I've found along the way! Look at the 14 things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!”

    It is in the digging that 15 is lived. And I believe it is joy in the journey, and in the end that truly matters.

    Thank you very much. Thank you!

    Thank you for Principal Xu, all the teachers and most importantly, the class of 2019. If I can't make my speech fantastic, I will at least try to make it short.

    It's been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy. You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief. In fact, it all began from the half a1basic training, which I will never forget, The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without 2 and long painful runs in the soft sand, I always felt cold, wet, sleepy and painful.

    The training also needed to find those who could3in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months. And today, I'd like to talk about one little thing, which I think is one of the most important points leading to great4.

    Every morning in the training, my instructors(教官) would5in our rooms. The first thing they did was to6our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.

    It was a(n) 7task. But every morning we were required to make our beds8. It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.

    If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the9task of the day. It will bring you a small sense of success, and it will10you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have11into many tasks completed. Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can't do the little things right, you will12be able to do the big things right.

    13the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn't matter whether I ever14 a day in uniform. Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made-that you made-and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

    In general, if you want to change the world, 15off by making your bed. I hope all of you will have a brighter future! 

    Mary was ill yesterday. She went to see a doctor.

    "Doctor, I'm not feeling 1 at the moment," she said. "Every time I do my homework at night, I feel 2. If I walk to school, I have to sit down and 3  for ten minutes."

    The doctor looked 4 Mary carefully. At last he said, "5 serious, but I'm afraid you are 6 too much."

    "I don't understand. What do you mean?" asked Mary. "I mean you eat too much 7 ,"said the doctor.

    "Oh! You mean I'm too 8. That's a problem," said Mary. "What should I do if I don't want to be heavy?"

    "The answer is easy," said the doctor. "If you want to be thinner and healthier, you 9 eat a lot of food and you also should take more 10."

Liu proves herself again

 Who is the best female(女性的) table tennis player in China? It is probably Liu Shiwen. Liu Shiwen was born on April 12, 1991 in Fushun, Liaoning. Her hobbies are watching US TV shows and learning English. Her best table tennis skill is backhand(反手击球) instead of forehand.

 On Oct 20th, Liu won her fifth singles title(单打冠军) at the Women's World Cup in Chengdu, Sichuan province. She is the first person in history to win so many titles at this event.

" It's very important for me," Liu said. "I won four titles before when I was much younger. I had no fear at all."

 At 28 years old, Liu is now under greater pressure. She won the world championship(世界锦标赛), but then lost several tour matches (巡回赛). She needed to prove herself once again. She was able to do so in the end. Her secret was to not think about her losses."I just played the game like it was the world championships or even the Olympics," Liu said.

How did Churchill achieve so much? One key to his success was his strictly observed daily schedule.

Churchill is not a particularly early riser, he is a night owl. Around 8 o'clock, he takes off his sleeping mask to the smell of breakfast. On his bed places a tray（托盘）to his own design, with a cutout for his round belly that allows him to have breakfast and work at the same time.

Churchill usually begins the mornings with a full English breakfast, often accompanied by meat from the previous night, and sometimes a glass of wine. As he picks through his tray of food, he    peruses the morning newspapers. Sometimes he rises, walking to his beloved Clementine in her separate bedroom, to discuss a startling development. From his battle station he dictates（口述）letters, sips from a glass filled with water and some whisky, and reads until late morning. Then he bathes, dresses and begins his day. Lunch is followed by a walk round the gardens and ponds, cards with family and friends then followed by a nap. His nap is exactly an hour long. It allows him, he says, to get more hours out of every twenty-four.

Churchill's daily schedule reveals important principles for success: he knows how to get things done. He is one of the most productive men who ever lived. To achieve productively, he always follows two principles. The first he learnt from Napoleon: strength of force in the most important places. The second is economy of effort（节约能量）.

Economy of effort is one of Churchill's excellent characteristics（特征）. His daily work in bed saves energy for later, when he will often dictate from a stand-up desk. When travelling he is even more economical. Never stand when you can sit down, he will advise a visitor. "Never sit down when you can lie down, and never to miss an opportunity to visit a washroom, as there is no knowing when the next chance will appear."

Good morning! I am Ellen. You can see a key, a map, a jacket, a cup and an orange in my bedroom. This is a key.

It's blue. What is that? It's a green map. That is a jacket. What color is it? It's black. It isn't my jacket. It's my sister Sarah's. Black is her favorite color. This is my cup. It's white. What's that? It's an orange. It's my favorite fruit.

That is my sister Sarah's bedroom. Her schoolbag is in it. What is in her schoolbag? You can see a pen, a ruler and a cup. The pen is green, and it is my brother, Dale's. The ruler is red. It is Sarah's. The cup is white. It is Dale's, too.
