When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should prove it. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you'll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don't want an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don't let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you're wrong ― even if you've been wronged. Over the course of friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes wrong. Third, see things from your friend's point of view. And finally, accept that friendships changes as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the nature ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培养).

    James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves(奴隶). His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
   “J.C.,” he replied.
    She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
    Owens ran his first race at the age of 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time in order to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten games, Owens fell down when he went downstairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he was helped in and out of the car that drove him to the games. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he should give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
    The stage was set for Owens' success at the Olympic Games in Berlin(柏林) the next year, and his success would come to be considered as not only athletic but also political(政治的). Hitler(希特勒) did not give congratulations to any of the black American winners.
   “It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”
     After returning from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
    Owens' Olympic success made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and racing against cars and dogs.
   “Sure, it worried me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
    In the end, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”

Summer vacations should be relaxed for students. However, many of them use the opportunity to take part in summer project.
Xu Dan,a 15-year-old girl , loves vacations because it means she can spend more time volunteering. She believes that volunteering has cts instead. changed her life and made her a better person.
Two years ago, Xu was a shy girl. One day, she saw a group of volunteers picking up trash in the street. Since she had no plans for the summer vacation and wanted to make some friends, she decided to join them.
"I used to think volunteering was nothing more than picking up trash. Now I know that the aim of volunteer work is helping others and gaining self-esteem(自尊),"Xu says. Her volunteering schedule is full: teaching migration workers'(外来务工人员) children English from Mondays to Fridays, picking up trash on Saturdays, and visiting old people on Sundays.
For Xu, visiting old people is the most meanful activity. "I help them clean their homes and cut their hair. I talk to them and listen to their life stories. These are just small things, but every time I help others I feel more confident about myself," Xu says.
According to Xu, the positive energy(正能量) from volunteering influences the way she deals with people and sees the world. "I can see things from other people's point of view and look at things more positively. I think I'm going to hold on to it all my life." she says.

Recently, Donald Trump has been chosen to be the Person of the Year by Time. But who is the Person of the Year in your heart?

Katrina, 13, England

In my eyes, the Person of the Year must be British actor Alan Rickman. I love him because of his beautiful voice in the movie Alice in Wonderland. The most successful character he has made is Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies, who loves Lily till the last second of his life. In 2016, he died at the age of 69. The author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling said he was a perfect actor and a wonderful man.

Henry, 13, Portugal

The Person of the Year must be Antonio Manuel de Oliveira Guterres. He was the former premier of Portugal (葡萄牙总理). And now he is the new Secretary-General (秘书长) of the United Nations. Before him, eight persons have taken this job. In my opinion, the UN Secretary General always plays an important role in developing international relationships. I think that he is worth offering the job and will make something great to the world.

Zhang Xiaoning, 15, China

I think Guo Chuan, the famous Chinese sailor, can be Person of the Year. Guo broke many world records with his sailing boat. He often sailed around the world alone. He had strong spirit. Whatever difficulties he met, he never gave up. He went missing at sea earlier this year. But he still lives on in my heart.

Michael, 12, France

The person I want to choose would be Teresa May, the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Since the UK left the European Union, many people thought that the UK would be in a mess. However, May made an effort to "save the UK". She has done a good job. It is said that she has dealt with the chaos (混乱) of the English political parties (政党). She has also solved a lot of problems and showed her abilities to the world. She has been praised as the second Margaret Thatcher (撒切尔) for her hard work.

One day King Henry was hunting in a forest. Towards evening he told his men to ride home by the main(主要的) road while he went home by another.

As he came out of the forest, he saw a little boy. "Well, my boy," said the king. "Are you looking for your father?" "No, Sir," answered the boy. "I am looking for the king. They say he is hunting in the forest." Oh, if that is your wish, "said King Henry, "I'll take you to the place where you will see him."

The boy got up and sat behind the king. On the horse, the king and the boy began to talk. "They say that King Henry always has many men with him," said the boy. "How can I know which he is?" "Oh, it's easy. All the other men will take off their hats, but the king will keep his on." "Do you mean that the one with his hat on will be the king?" "Of course." Soon they came into the main road. The king's men greeted the king by taking off their hats. "Well, my boy," said King Henry, "Which do you think is the king now?" "I don't know," answered the boy," it must be either you or I, because we both have our hats on"
