In 1878, when Margaret Wolfe Hungerford wrote “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, she was stating that there was no consistent（never changing）view on beauty. Standards of beauty change across time and cultural groups.

    Traditions and fashions, like society itself, change and adapt with time. So it is reasonable that our ideas of beauty change as well. In 19th-century Europe, women used to wear corsets to achieve a body shape that is no longer considered healthy. Men would wear woolen shawls across their shoulders. It is hard to imagine that they would be seen as attractive in the 21st century. Nowadays, in the western world, one in every ten people has a tattoos or a form of body art. In the past, some cultures used tattoos as an addition to costumes, to show family associations or to mark criminals so that they could easily be recognized.

    In contemporary society, culture remains a major part in determining our ideas of beauty. In some countries, young women follow slimming diets to lose extra kilos in preparation for their wedding day. In other cultures, looking thin for a husband-to-be is not what a woman desires at all—rather, looking a little overweight is considered more attractive.

    With the influence of history, society and culture, there are no precise criteria which can be used to judge what is beautiful. Life long commitment and, indeed, the survival of society itself rely on people seeing beauty in difference and depth. The human race would soon die out if we could only see beauty within a set of limited criteria.

    Physical beauty must also be accompanied by an attraction to something deeper within a person. This particular kind of attraction is found in a wide range of personal qualities, e.g. kindness, warmth, a healthy conscience, etc. judging the appeal of a person's inner beauty is much more subjective. It takes more than a casual glance to appreciate and it is much more important than physical beauty.

    Beauty, therefore, has more than one dimension. We are influenced by our culture, our biology and our time in history to notice physical beauty quickly and easily, but it is inner beauty that requires us to truly see. Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder.

    At first, Michael Surrell didn't see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors' home. He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when they got a call from one of his daughters: "The house next door is on fire!" He went to investigate. That's when he saw a woman crying desperately on their porch.

    "The baby's in there!" the woman cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside. "The baby" was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman's granddaughter.

    Entering the burning house was like "running into a bucket of black paint," Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been dangerous to anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺病), they were life-threatening.

    After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath. Surrell knew he couldn't hold his breath for long. Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time. The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar layout (布局)to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath.

His throat and lungs burned as if he'd breathed in fire instead of the smoke and soot in the air. Every blink stung his eyes. All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood. Then a soft but distinct moan (呻吟声) emerged. Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl.

Paragraph 1:

    Finally, he touched something — a shoe, then an ankle.

Paragraph 2:

    Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later.

    It was Hopper's day to visit his Grandma, and he had some big plans. "Let's hop (单脚跳) right down to the pond, Grandma," he said as he burst through the front door. When Hopper got excited, he just couldn't slow down. "We can go swimming, and we can have a picnic, and we can play chase!" Hopper loved going to Grandma's house, and he always looked forward to their special adventures together. Grandam was nappy to see her grandson, and she especially liked the fun they had together.

    Just as they sat down to make their plans for the day, there was a loud boom! It was raining! Hopper ran to the window to look outside. "It's raining," he cried. "Now the day is ruined!" Grandma told him not to worry. "I'm really sorry, little boy," Grandma said. "We may not be able to get to the pond but I think I have something you might enjoy."

    Walking to the bookshelf, Grandma pulled down a big photo album. They opened it and Hopper pointed at the pictures. "Grandma, that little girl looks just like you!" he said. Hoppers eyes jumped from photo to photo. "That's me when I learned to drive a car," Grandma said. Hopper liked the pictures of Grandma playing basketball and winning a race. "Oh, I was a fast little kid—just like you!" said Grandma with a proud smile. Finally, Grandma showed Hopper her favorite picture. It was a photograph of Grandma holding a little baby. "That baby is you," said Grandma.

    When it was time to go, Grandma told Hopper that next visit they would hop down to the pond. But Hopper shook his head. "If it's all right with you, I'd rather look through the photo album again."

When danger is coming, firefighters are heroes who put their lives at risk to keep everyone safe. But in calmer moments, they can also go the extra mile for someone with something so simple yet impactful.

Many fall in love with firefighting as a child by riding a truck and visiting a fire station. Whether he does or doesn't grow up to become a firefighter, he will know he is loved and accepted the way he is. This is especially heartwarming when children are at the receiving end of firefighters' kindness.

Now, one firefighter went out of his way to make sure that a kid didn't feel left out when his team spent a day with some children from a kindergarten.

These children spent the day in getting a close look at the fire station and the work of firefighters. First, led by firefighters, they paid a visit to the fire station, which made them feel excited. Later, in order to make the children have a more real experience, the station decided to let the young tourists wear red fireman helmets（头盔）.

When they wore the red fireman helmets, everyone was so delighted and cheers broke out. But one child was standing with low spirits and didn't wear a red helmet. It seemed that the child wasn't welcome, which may influence the child's confidence. That made the firefighters surprised.

"One child didn't wear a red fireman helmet. No enough helmets?" One of the firefighters asked the children's teacher.

"No. Well, his hair was in a high ponytail（马尾辫）, preventing him from putting his helmet on. And he likes the high ponytail very much and doesn't want to break it," the teacher replied.

"I see. Maybe we can do something, can we mark the width of the child's ponytail and cut a hole in the tiny helmet to make sure his hair fit s through the hole?" the firefighter said.

Hearing that, the teacher thought it was a good idea.

Most people think that procrastination(拖延症) is a negative habit. But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our" slower" approach to getting tasks done.

I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the" do it right now" gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying" Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today,"" No way!"I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative. solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister's…… or so I thought.

At school we'd been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the. cafeteria."I have no clue how I could get it done," my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn't say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety—— but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands- on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn't give it a second thought for weeks.

 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project.

That taught me a great lesson.
