Life is full of surprises that sometimes change one's everyday life. They may influence your mind, feelings, and behaviour.
Some of the surprises might be good and some of them might not be so enjoyable. However, you need to understand that unexpected events (出人意料的事件) are part of life. When you accept this fact, you will deal with them more easily. . Sometimes, you think an event may cause problems, but in the end, it might make a good result. For example, even getting out of work could get a good result. That means you might find a better job.
Before getting angry or afraid, give the situation a careful thought. . So, instead of feeling bad, you'd better think about ways to get used to the new situation. If you can't, you'd better do something to make an improvement on it. This is more useful.
In other words, don't waste time to think about the past. Just go ahead to make the most of the present moment.
A. Lead a happy and comfortable life. B. In fact, not all unexpected events are bad. C. Often, the unexpected event is not hard to deal with. D. So you need to find a way to less influenced by them. E. Always pay your attention to the present moment and learn from it. |
What will you do if you meet unexpected events?
From small ants to big whales, almost all animals need to sleep. Some sleep a little. Some sleep a lot. And some have special ways to get their sleep.
| Some seabirds spend most of their lives over the ocean. And they can sleep while they are flying. They can fly for many hours without moving their wings. |
| A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg always stays straight. The other leg stays close to its body. Its head rests on its back. |
| Horses often sleep standing up. If a horse lies down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing. And horses only need about three hours of sleep a day! |
| Giraffes win the prize(奖) for sleeping the least. They sleep about 30 minutes a day, and 5 minutes at a time. They lie down when they sleep. They rest their heads on their bodies or on the ground. What a strange way of sleeping! |
| A dolphin sleeps with just half its head at a time. The other half must stay awake(醒着的) to take in air and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe. |
