When I was a boy, I used to love walking in the 1 around my house. My mom warned me several times2 to travel so far or I would lose the way. Being a naughty(淘气的)boy, however, I soon found 3 walking further and further away, testing4 I could go into the woods without getting lost. But once after losing my way for two hours, I decided to leave a mark the next time I went for a walk.
The next day I decided to try it. I walked into the woods5 the house couldn't be seen. Then I broke a small branch(树枝)to mark my place. I walked further and broke many branches. After a while I got tired and decided to return. When I turned around, I6 found my way home, but I felt7 rather than being proud. I could see the mark of destruction(破坏)that I left in the woods. I promised never to do that again. Instead, I started to value my time alone in the woods. I'd sit by the streams(小溪)and 8 their beautiful singing. I'd bend down(弯下腰)to 9 the flowers.
I've tried to leave marks of kindness and goodness since then. I've tried to show others 10 they can do the same. May you always leave marks of joy in your life.
Amy was 5 when her parents signed her up for many sports: gymnastics (体操)， swimming, etc. She says, "I was always the youngest person in my class. " Gymnastics was no different. She started out in a class and she loved it. She was so talented in gymnastics that at 6 she joined the "Y Team", and started competing two years later. And when she competed, she won easily. Her father, who was a nurse, decided to move to Georgia, because he wanted Amy to enter the Atlanta School of Gymnastics. In the 8th grade, Amy spent 36 hours a week training to be an Olympic winner and trying to reach her father's standards. Under pressure, Amy soon began losing all the pleasure she once felt in practicing. "At 13 I was afraid of going to the gym. I hated having to do what everyone expected me to, but I was too afraid to tell my parents I wanted to give up. " After being the best junior gymnast in her country, it wasn't easy for Amy to throw it all away. However, one night, Amy finally found the courage to tell her father she wanted to give up. For seven years gymnastics had controlled her life, and suddenly she had all this free time. She threw away all her medals (奖牌)， "I just felt like those medals were my dad's, not mine. I hated gymnastics and I hated them. Now I feel free. " |
