It's Really a Miracle (奇迹)

    Mr. Clarke works in New York and he brought his family to China last summer. They visited many places of interest and had a good time here. Before they left for New York, the Clarkes climbed the Great Wall. It was the greatest project over two thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there and then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they hurried to the car. And when they returned to the hotel, they couldn't find the bag in which their expensive camera was. They were all sorry for it. They could buy another camera but had no time to go to the Great Wall again. They could not miss the plane!

That evening they didn't have supper. Mr. Clarke hoped to make them happy, so he said, “Well, let me tell you a story. An old man lived in a sixty-story building. One day he fell down from it when he was cleaning the window. But he didn't hurt himself.”

  “It was a miracle!” called out his children, “Why?”

  “Because he lived on the first floor!”

    They all began to laugh while two policemen with a bag came in. They said a Chinese boy found it under a big tree and he asked them to find out who lost it.

  “It's really a miracle!” the Clarkes said happily.

    In fact, all decisions come down to choosing whether to open a door or to close it. I have learned that opening a door always makes life more interesting.

    A few years ago, I was living in a small world. I worked as a teacher in a very small high school. My life was quite simple. Then one day I had an opportunity to teach in a large school. The students there came from different countries. But the school was far away from my village. So I asked myself, "Should I go to that strange place to teach? Or should I stay at home?" In my home town I was safe and comfortable.

    Finally, I decided to go. I thought this was the best decision in my life. In that large school, I learned a lot about very different cultures. I also found that just a smile or a hug could make people understand each other. My new students made me feel welcome. We had a lot of fun. It was wonderful to live in a very different area of the country. So I was lucky that I didn't close the door to the chance, or I would miss all of those wonderful experiences.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to our soul(灵魂). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Your eyes need everyday attention.

First, you have to pay more attention to what you eat. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}It's good for your eyes. Also, a regular amount of vitamins(维生素) A and B2 should also be taken.

Second, you must have regular and sound sleep. This relaxes the eye muscles and gives them the rest they need. Sleep can help the body repair its tired tissue(组织). {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Less sleep can give you dark circles under your eyes and you may feel sleepy during the daytime.

Last, you should treat your eyes correctly. For example, if you get something in your eye, don't start rubbing(揉) it. Rubbing is bad for your eyes Don't read or write in poor or bright light because it can make your eyes tired. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Too many indoor activities like reading, writing, watching TV or working on a computer can also make eyes tired, so rest outdoors is necessary.

China has also taken steps to protect the students' eyesight, such as larger printing in students' textbooks, at least two hours' outdoor activities a day, regular eyesight checking, less time on e-books and so on.

A. Eat more fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, eggs and milk.

B. Next, it's necessary for you to exercise your eyes every day

C. To have healthy eyes, you have to look after them properly.

D. You should sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day.

E. Then, it's important to spend more time walking outdoors.

F. Remember to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from sunlight.

Everyone needs friends. How do you have real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seaman tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed（种子）and take care of it to make it grow. 

What makes a good friend? It s not because he or she has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient（有耐心的）. For example, if you are in a bad mood, a good friend should listen to you and do his or her best to help you. 

But things can t always be happy. Even the best friends have fights （争 吵）. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You, d better talk to him or her. 

There are three steps（步）to be friends again： say sorry to him or her； tell him or her how you are feeling； tell him or her why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
