    Lisa has always been fat. She wanted to lose weight, not only because she wanted to look more beautiful and healthier, but also because it would make life easier.

    For example, it was difficult for Lisa to find ready-made clothes. She had to ask a tailor (裁缝) to make clothes that were large enough. In school, she needed a special chair that was bigger and stronger than other chairs. If she went for a walk, she got tired very quickly.

    She was also unhappy about the way people treated (对待) her sometimes. "People look at me and even make fun of me. It's true that I'm fat, but I don't think people should treat me differently.

    Who were your best friends five years ago? Is there anyone you would really like to see again? In 1999, Julie Pankhurst, a computer programmer from London, was thinking about her past-and especially the people she used to go to school with.

    Julie looked on the Internet for a website to help her find her old school friends. But there was nothing. So Julie and her husband, Steve, started their own website. They called it Friends Reunited.

    The site grew slowly at first, but soon they received their first "thank you" email. The man wrote, "Thank you so much. Using your website, I found an old friend from thirty years ago!"Julie and Steve were very excited about this and continued to improve their website. By the end of 2000, there were 3,000 members.

    The next year was really hard work for the couple.

    In January, a national radio station mentioned their website. Their membership doubled in one week! People were talking about the website all over the country, and it became a full-time job for Julie and Steve. In a year, they had four million members!

    Now, over fifteen million people in lots of different countries use Friends Reunited to find old school friends, work colleagues and neighbors. Some of the stories which people tell Julie and Steve are amazing. For example, David Webster lost his memory in a car crash. He used the website to find old school friends, and they helped him remember his past.

    Julie's simple idea gave us a national obsession(痴迷)-getting in touch with old friends and hearing their news. And it made her and Steve very rich in 2005, they sold Friends Reunited for £120 million!

Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track (跑道) in my neighborhood. Most people walk on the track, so I am 1 than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes 2 feel proud.

One day, a short man came. I saw him out of the car and do exercise 3 running. Then he started running and he was fast. I 4 up and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap (圈), I fell behind him and had great 5 in breathing. After two laps, my foot began to hurt, 6 I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe again and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, I was far behind him. He was too fast for me to 7 .

That day, I learnt several lessons. In 8 , there will always be those slower and faster. Some have natural talent, and some have trained harder. Don't judge a person by how he or she looks.

The point is that we each have our own speed. When we are trying to keep up, we often 9 hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Don't run fast when you should be running 10 . Don't run at all when you should be walking.
