A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt1at the time. He2his letter with this question: "We can't really change this crazy world we live in, can we?" I3to him and started my own letter with these words: "Yes, we most certainly can!"

    I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was the4teacher at my primary school. I liked her music class and I wanted to impress her.5, I didn't know how to play any instruments.

    One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I6my best, but could only stumble along(断断续续地弹奏). When I finished playing, I put my7down. "I guess I am not very good," I told her. She looked at me with her 8eyes, smiled at me and said, "We are all good at something. You just need to find out9you are good at. Then, you can share it10the world."

    11simple words changed me. They12a seed(种子)in my heart that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside of me. I just had to find it and share it.

    Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it13one choice, one person or one kind act at a time.14you have to do is to share your goodness. Mother Teresa once said, "God doesn't ask us to do15things, but small things with great love." So make your love great!

I joined a band as a drummer in my middle school. I thought it would be fun playing the drum and meeting new friends. At first it was easy, but a month later, it got difficult. I was the only one who couldn't keep pace with the other {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(player).

Our teacher, Angie, singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax. I felt ashamed{#blank#}2{#/blank#} my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally I got so tired of {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(practice) that I didn't care about doing it right.

"Are you giving up on me, Steve?" Angie asked.

"Yes, I am," I shouted. Angie sent me inside the music room, where I cried out. Then she came in and said, "Don't be sad. I believe you can make it!" She told me never{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(give) up. She left me alone and I realized Angie was right by giving up, I was also giving up on the team and{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(I).

With her comfort, I decided to go on practicing, but I still couldn't play well. Knowing my difficulties, my teammates gave me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} hand. They spent about three more hours practicing with me every week. Thanks to their support and help, I began to keep pace with them. Later, we performed{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(wonderful) in an important show, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} thankful I was to my teacher Angie and my teammates!

In the whole process(过程), I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(teach) that although we each had our own job to do in a show, it would take all of us working together to make the show great. I felt accepted and made great progress. I can't imagine what my school life would be like{#blank#}10{#/blank#} them. I love everyone in the band.

The domestic(国内的) animated(动画) film Chang'an San Wan Li, or 30,000 Miles from Chang'an, has caused a lot of interest in traditional Chinese poetry and discussions about the poets of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) shown in the movie, including Li Bai, Gao Shi and Du Fu. 

The film not only shows the rise and fall of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but also shows the constellation(群英荟萃) of great Tang Dynasty poets, making audiences see traditional Chinese culture on the big screen. 

The friendship between Gao Shi and Li Bai showed in the film touched many people. "The description of the admiration between the poets, supporting each other in troubled times, made me feel the warmth of the film and the true reasons why Chang'an is more than just the name of a capital city but a cultural symbol," one moviegoer(影迷) said. 

The film uses a total of 48 Tang Dynasty poems, sharing the rich literary(文学) treasures of the dynasty. Among them, Li Bai's timeless masterpiece, Invitation to Wine(将进酒), written while he was enjoying the wine with friends under the night sky, has been praised as the film's most wonderful moment. 

"The Invitation to Wine segment is the pinnacle(高潮) of the whole story. At first, when reading the poem, one can only feel its boldness(大胆). But in the film, through picture language, I felt Li Bai's helplessness about aging and his sighs of unfulfilled dreams," said one Weibo user. 

Many people draw on the paper, but few paint on stones. And that was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (exact) what Mo Wuying is doing. The artist from Chongqing has been doing this for more than eight years. And{#blank#}2{#/blank#} animals she paints on stones are truly lifelike. 

The poses of animals she creates {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (decide) by the shapes of the stones. Mo says it is an art form that requires creative {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (idea).

According to Mo, the first step is to draw the outline of an animal on a stone. Then she colors it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make) lively. After that, she adds all the details (细节).

Driven by her love of painting from a young age, Mo has been improving her stone painting skills for years. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the beginning, she tried her hand at sceneries and characters. In the past three years, she has focuses on painting animals. Mo {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (finish) hundreds of stone paintings so far. "The longer I work on it, the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (interesting) I find it," said Mo proudly. She sometimes even forgets to eat or sleep {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the painting takes up all her attention. 

"{#blank#}10{#/blank#} is relaxing to paint on stones and makes me more patient," said Mo, adding that she would continue working on it.

What is your favorite color？Does it make you feel happy or relaxed（放松的）？Some people think colors connect with their feelings. This may be true. Scientists ask 2，6596 people from 100 countries about their favorite colors and why they like them. 

Many people think blue is a cool color. Blue clothes can help you feel relaxed. And the color blue can make people not eat too much. If you don't want to be fat，you may try to eat at a blue table. Blue can also mean sadness. When you are unhappy，you may say"I'm feeling blue". Yellow is the color of the sun. It is a warm color. When you walk in a yellow room you may feel warm and comfortable. Many people like orange because it is also a warm color. In the factory（工厂）（更好）.
