Vienna is a beautiful old city on the River Danube in the center of Europe. It's the capital city of Austria and the center of European classical music. In the 18th century a lot of musicians came to study and work in Vienna.

    In the Strauss family, there were two composers called Johann Strauss: the father and the son. The father, Johann Strauss the elder, wrote and played music for traditional dances, called the waltz. His dance music made him famous all over Europe. The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1866 he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.

    Mozart was another very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756. Before he was six, he played not only the piano but also the violin. His family took him around Europe and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of wonderful pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only 35. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect.

As we were leaving, we saw {#blank#}2{#/blank#} old woman fall downand hit her head on the ground. Her husband tried to look {#blank#}3{#/blank#} her, but there wasblood (血) everywhere.

Seeing this, Johnsonbecame very sad about what happened {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the old woman. At the front ofthe supermarket, a man was selling {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (flower) . Johnson suggestedthat we should buy the old woman a flower. "It will make her {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (feel) better,"he said. I was glad that he'd come up with such a sweet idea. So we walkedtowards the flower seller and bought one.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#}we walked up to her, my sonbecame scared by the blood. Instead I gave the flower to the husband and toldhim," "My son is sad to see what happened to your wife and wants {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (buy) this flowerto make her calm. "

The old man {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cry) and said, "Thankyou very much. You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day. "The man thengave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Although she was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (bad) hurt, the oldwoman looked up at Johnson with love in her eyes.

Do you like taking a trip? Now many students like riding bikes to take a trip. But it may be dangerous. For your own safety (安全), do the following things. 

Wear a bike helmet because it can protect (保护) your head. Look for a helmet that is right for you. The best helmet can't protect you if it isn't right for you. 

Wear the right clothes. They can make you feel better. They can also protect you. Bright-colored clothes like white help people see you clearly--even in the nighttime. Don't wear dark-colored clothes like black or brown when you are riding a bike. 

Follow the rules on the road. Always ride on the right side of the road. Please first look behind you before you turn left or turn right. And don't ride too closely (接近) to the cars--the cars may stop and the door may open suddenly! Also, don't just listen to music when you are riding a bike. If you listen to music, you may not know there is a car behind you. 

If you follow these tips, you'll be safe riding on the road. 

There are two paths（路）in life, Should and Must. We arrive at these crossroads again and again. And each. time, we have to choose.

Should is how others want us to show up in the world—what we should or shouldn't do. When we choose Should, we're choosing to live our life for someone or something other than ourselves. The journey. to Should can be smooth, and the risk is small.

Must is who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are alone with our truest self. Must is why Van Gogh（梵高）painted his whole life without ever getting people's recognition. Must is why Reyna Marder Gentin started to write for the first time after 23 years of being a lawyer.

Choosing Must sounds·fantastic, right? To choose Must is to say yes to hard work and endless effort, to say yes to a journey without a road map or tour guides.

How can we actually choose Must?

Ask yourself, "What is my Must?" If you don't know the answer, write down your biggest, most impossible dreams! Don't worry! It's just the first step.

Now, think about what's actually in your way. Is it your parents? Maybe they're just worried that you haven't thought it through. Try to make a practical plan for what you want to do. Your parents may find it a good one. Is it money? Well, the best way to make money is to do what you love because it's very likely that you will pay great attention to it. Choosing Must doesn't mean we need to give up everything we already have. It's about changing oh e small thing at a time.

If you believe that you have something special inside of you, it's about time you give Must a try—today.

Ben and Tim are good friends. They were very active before. They played games together outdoors a lot. But now Tim is not active any more. He has some bad habits. He watches too much TV and plays too many computer games. Ben worries about him.

Ben sends his friend a poem:

You can be a couch potato and watch TV all day.

But don't do that. There is another way!

Move your body, get out and have fun.

Fresh air, a bike ride, playing in the sun!

Tim gets home from school. There is a letter at his front door. It's Ben's poem! He reads the poem and he laughs. He writes a poem back to his friend:

Your poem is funny,

But I feel really lucky.

With a true friend on my side,

My world will be open wide.

Let's meet tomorrow at six o' clock,

And we can go for a good walk.

 Shyness is a kind of fear. People who are shy always worry too much about what people think of them or embarrassing themselves in some way in front of others. How can we overcome shyness?

◆Have a good posture (姿势)

 The way a person holds himself/ herself says a lot about that person. People with sloped (倾斜的) shoulders don't think of themselves as important. To have a good posture, you should stand up straight, shoulders back, keep your head up, and always look at the eyes of others. By practicing a good posture, you will feel you have the ability to do things well. 

◆Increase your walking speed

 You can tell if a person is confident by the way he walks. People who walk in a slow way, and look at the ground while walking usually have no confidence in themselves. While people who have confidence in themselves walk faster. That is because they have important things to do, friends to meet, places to go, etc. So walk a little faster, head held up, and look straight ahead. 

◆Do some exercise

 Exercise increases your energy in the body. That will put you in a more positive (积极的) state of mind. By having exercise, you will feel sure of yourself. Think about it. It is better to do some exercise than just watching TV all day. 

◆Do things you enjoy

 This can be anything that you really enjoy doing, like traveling, going to the theater, listening to music, helping someone out with a problem, etc.
