    When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.

    The bill was paid, and the woman was satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite sure about his calculations(计算), added up the things again. To his surprise, he found that it should have been but two dollars.

    “I've made her pay six and a quarter cents more,” said young Abe, upset.

    It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for that.

    The money must be paid back, he decided.

    At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.

    Here is another story of young Lincoln's strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young man weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.

    The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales(磅砰). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out four ounces of the tea, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer.

①My daughter's pet fish is dying. Recently I find myself spending minutes and even hours staring at the clear round bowl, hoping for another performance of its wonderful dance. To be honest, I am not a fish person. Compared with cats and dogs, fish can neither play nor walk with me. To me, they are just so boring.

②But every morning now, I tap on the bowl, shake out some fish food and carefully throw it into the bowl, hoping the fish can eat it with the least effort. I try to make the fish more comfortable. Yet there's so little that I can do. The fish just remains still (一动不动的) at the bottom of the bowl.

③"Come on! Eat something!" I say. And suddenly I realize that somebody said the exact same sentences to me before. Many times.

④I think of the banana pancakes that my mother would serve me every time I became sick and stayed in bed. They were my favorite treat and always made me feel much better. "Come on! Eat something! Your body needs to be strong!" My mom would always say. What made me even warmer was the idea that she would always, always be there when I needed her.

⑤Many years later, I tried to do the same when my mother became sick. She was only 61 but seemed to get weaker every day. "Would you like some green tea?" Again and again, I would ask, "What about some cake? Hot chocolate? Strawberries?" I gently encouraged her to eat because I didn't know what else to do. "Please, Mom! Eat something! Your body needs to be strong!" But she would not. There she was, lying still on the bed, with her eyes closed. That was the last time I saw her.

⑥The fish is still lying at the bottom of the bowl. I stare at it and suddenly a familiar (熟悉的) face comes into my mind. Then I say in a low voice, "Mom, ▲ ."

There was a little kid studying in the 5th grade. Everyone in his class thought that he was one of the1 kids. His grades were so terrible that he himself thought the same. 

However, his poor progress didn't2 him as he cared nothing about studying but reading novels. He used to say to his mom, "Nothing matters except for reading." His mother was aware that her boy was not reaching his full potential (潜能) and decided to give him a way to do it. So, she set two rules for him. First, he was3 to watch TV shows or play outside only after finishing his homework. Second, while reading two books each week, he had to write a book report on each of them. 

The kid felt4 about these new rules and tried hard to talk his mother out of them. But his mother stood firm and the kid couldn't5 her. Before long, he saw the6 of his hard work, when he was the only one who knew the answer to a question the teacher asked the class. All his classmates and teachers, even the kid himself, felt surprised. The kid noticed that his7 came from books he was reading. He began to realize that he could8 his love for reading into learning. If he could learn just a few facts from books, he could learn anything. 

This was the way pointed out by the mother who knew what her boy was9 to do. The kid10 on his path of growth. Who was considered as the most stupid kid of class is now a world famous doctor, writer and politician.

Do you often travel to many places recommended (推荐) on social media without wanting to visit them but arrive at a place and take photos to post them? Then, this turns into online likes, improving the attention. economy (经济). Scientists show the rise of this economy is due to that we may spend hours a day on. our phones and read pop-up content (内容) instead of actively looking for certain content. Platforms (平台) send ads for catching our eyes. But please remember things happening in unknown, corners are fun, but they shouldn't be more important than the present moment. 

Sitting properly at Your Desk

Do you really know how to sit at the table correctly? Poor position can lead to back pain. neck pain, and so on. Our shoulders play a key role in keeping a good position. Normally, all of our weight falls forward, putting pressure on our spine (脊椎). Our back muscles (肌肉) must work hard to keep us upright. That's why. we need to pull our shoulders back. So the weight of our arms is behind the spine, the muscles in the back and neck don't have to work as hard. If your arms are not supported (支撑), they will pull your neck and shoulders. Scientists suggest your chair should have armrests to support your elbows. 

Using Sunscrcen Correctly

Many people wear sunscreen in the summer. This protects our skin from sunburn and guards against UV light (紫外线) at once after, you apply (涂) it. However, it takes about 10 minutes for the protection to become stable (稳定) Experts think you should put on sunscreen 20 to 30 minutes before going outdoors. In addition, don't mix two brands of sunscreen. They may not work well together. And it may be wise to reapply it when it's needed. You can do it after sweating or swimming in water.
