Ever since I was a child，my mouth has caused me trouble. I'm not a bad person；I have a 1 time learning when to stop saying bad things to others.

My mom has told me again and again，"Robert，your constant（不断的）bad words are hurting me. If you 2 to be this rude，you will get into big trouble."

 It's been a problem at school several times too when teachers have told me something I didn't want to hear. I used to feel it was my 3  to stand up for myself.

 One day in English class I was working on my homework when I heard a classmate  4 behind me. It was Nathaniel，who liked doing that as usual.

I said ever so 5 ， "Nathaniel，would you be quiet？"

Nathaniel kept saying something to himself. I quickly 6 ， "Nathaniel，shut up！"

 For the next five minutes，we threw hurtful words back and forth at each other.

"At least I don't have an ugly lazy eye like you!"I cried out.

 I knew this would make him  7  and it would hurt his feelings and shut him up.

What I said filled him with anger. He tried to 8 over my seat and catch me as he screamed，"That's it！That's it！"

9 at his reaction（反应），I sat back in my seat. I had never seen Nathaniel act like this before. Later on，we were taken to the teachers' office. There，Mr. Black，our English teacher，told us to 10 the matter. It wasn't until then that I finally found that 11 I hurt someone physically，the woulds finally heal（愈合）.But when I hurt someone with my 12 ， sometimes the pain never goes away.

 At the end of the discussion，I said  13 to Nathaniel.

 When I went back to my room，I spent some time praying（祈祷）.I began to 14 how often what I said hurt others. But I believe that as I keep asking God to help me，he'll tell me when to keep my 15 closed.

    Different things usually stand for different feelings. Red, for example, is the colour of fire, heat, blood and life. It is used for signs of 1 , such as STOP signs and fire engines. Orange is the colour of brightness, warmth and 2in autumn. People say orange is a 3colour. They associate orange with happiness. 4 is the colour of grass in spring. People say it is a refreshing colour. In general, people 5 about two groups of colours: warm colours and cool colours. The warm colours are red, orange and yellow .When there are warm colours, people usually want to be 6. The cool colours are black and blue. When there are these colours, people are usually worried. Some scientists say that time seems to 7 more slowly in a room with warm colours. They suggest that a warm colour is a good 8for a living room or a restaurant. People who are having a rest or are 9do not want time to pass quickly. However, 10 colours are better for some offices if people working there want time to pass quickly.

A rich man and a poor tailor(裁缝) lived in the same house. The rich man lived upstairs and the tailor lived downstairs. The tailor liked to sing when he made clothes. He sang one song after another. But the rich man liked to sleep a lot, and the singing disturbed him. 

One day, the rich man said, "Tailor, I'll42give you a bag full of money every day if you stop singing. "

"Fine, " said the tailor. So the tailor stopped singing and became richer and richer.

But after some time, the tailor found he was not happy because he wanted very much to sing again. Then he gave all the money back to the rich man. 

"Here, " he said, "take your money back. I won't be happy if I can't sing. " He put the money on the table and went away and sang. He sang and sang. And he was happy again just like before.

Hi, I'm Andy. I'm 30 years old. I'm a doctor, and I live at Scott Base. It's very cold here. At night it can be -50℃, and in the middle of the day it's only -20℃.

There are twelve people living here. There is a restaurant, a TV room, a small shop and 6 bedrooms — one bedroom is for two people. Jack is my roommate. He is very tidy and he cleans the bedroom every day. Most of the food is from New Zealand and we also eat fish from the sea.

We work 5 days a week. Every morning I go swimming in the sea. After work, I usually play football or watch TV. I also love watching birds.

It's cold here, but it's also a very beautiful place to live. I love it.
