It was a long hard fight, but by now it was 1and this helped us very much. We ran here and there in the trees, calling and2. The enemies could not see us and did not know how many of us they were 3In the end the first officer shouted to them：                                                  

“Put down your4and stop fighting! The captain has fifty island people to help him. We can kill you 5!”

     So the enemies 6 fighting and we took their guns. Three of the enemies7 to come to join us, but the others refused. So we 8them in my cave. I stayed to 9 the prisoners(犯人), while the captain and his men went back to fight for the ship.

     All night we listened to the 10of guns and shouting, but in the morning, when the sun  11, the captain was master of his ship again. I went down the shore(海岸) to meet him.

“My dear friend” he cried, “There's your12! I'll take you to the ends of the13in it!” I put my 14round him, and we laughed and cried together. How 15I was to leave the island.

    One day, a teacher came into her classroom with a glass of water. She wanted to explain stress(压力) management to her students. She asked them how 1the glass of water was. They gave many 2 answers. Some students said it weighed 200 grams, while others 3 said they didn't know. She smiled and 4, "Actually, the weight of the glass doesn't matter. It depends on the 5 . If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my   6. If I hold it for a day, I'll have to call an ambulance (救护车). In each case, the glass of water is the same weight, but the 7 I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

    Lost in thought, all the students kept 8 and listened to the teacher carefully.

    The teacher continued, "Our stresses and worries in life are the same as that glass of water. If we carry 9 all the time, we will soon feel tired as if the weight is 10. We will not be able to move on. Just   11 putting down this glass of water, you have to put your stress down for a while and take a rest. When we're not tired, we can 12 our

burdens(负担) -- holding them more easily each time."

    More often than not, life gets terrible when we 13 too much. And the moment you let go of your burdens, you'll find yourself feeling so much more 14.

    So, 15 being upset and feeling sorry for yourself, start doing something about it. After all, life is too short to give yourself up to anything that is not making you happy.

    When we talk about the universe, we mean not only the sun, the earth, the starts, but also the moon. Do you know1 about the moon? The moon is smaller than the earth, but the sun is much bigger than the earth. The moon is2 from the earth. It's 380,000 kilometers away. On the earth we see that the moon3 like a cake. It is round. There is4 air or water on the moon, so there is no living5 there. The side of the moon towards (朝，向)the sun is very hot, while the other side is very6. People can jump7 on the moon than on the earth and we can walk very8 there. It takes more than three days to get to the moon9spaceship (宇宙飞船). Now some countries including10 can fly to the moon. I'm sure we can go to the moon in the future one day.

    When I was 19 years old, I worked in a doctor's office as a medical assistant. I was shy and didn't 1  myself, so I  2 talked with others.  I was uncertain about my future.

    I met a doctor there and became good friends with him. He 3 me to believe in myself and asked me to learn to communicate with others. He helped me accept 4 , and then he encouraged me to5 one or two college classes. I did as what he told me and did very well.

    One day, he asked me where I wanted to go ten years later and 61 wanted my life to be like. I hadn't thought about this before that day. That night I 7 thought about the two questions. It was he that made me 8a different world.

    Later, I went to college and realized my9was to be accepted into a physician assistant training program. Unluckily, it was very 10and I couldn't afford it, I wanted to 11. When my dream was about to slip away, this wonderful man took me out one evening into a bar, bought me a bottle of beer, and offered to help me pay for my college education. He did it 12 asking for anything in return.

    A few years later, I asked him why he helped me. He said," 13 I knew you could be more than what you were, and because once, when I wasn't sure whether I could succeed and didn't have the money for school, 14 helped me."

    After hearing his words, I was shocked. I said, "Thank you, Joe! I will 15 the love to others!"
