A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt1at the time. He2his letter with this question: "We can't really change this crazy world we live in, can we?" I3to him and started my own letter with these words: "Yes, we most certainly can!"

    I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was the4teacher at my primary school. I liked her music class and I wanted to impress her.5, I didn't know how to play any instruments.

    One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I6my best, but could only stumble along(断断续续地弹奏). When I finished playing, I put my7down. "I guess I am not very good," I told her. She looked at me with her 8eyes, smiled at me and said, "We are all good at something. You just need to find out9you are good at. Then, you can share it10the world."

    11simple words changed me. They12a seed(种子)in my heart that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside of me. I just had to find it and share it.

    Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it13one choice, one person or one kind act at a time.14you have to do is to share your goodness. Mother Teresa once said, "God doesn't ask us to do15things, but small things with great love." So make your love great!

It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually different cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one.

When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.

Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might have chicken soup to help them get over the cold. Some people take hot baths. Other people take medicine to stop different symptoms(症状)of colds.

There is one interesting thing to note一some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:

It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.

We all know that safety comes first. But being safe in your everyday life needs{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (知识). Your life will be much safer if you know the following information. 

It's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(必要的) for you to notice the environment around you. You shouldn't walk alone outside. Make sure you know where the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(公共的) phones are. 

Get into the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(习惯) of carrying your bag on your front.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(记住) not to put it on your back. When a bus is full of people, it is easy {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(足够地) for a thief to steal the things in the bag on your back. 

If someone strange {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(跟随) you, don't go home at once. Just walk around in the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(社区). Let the person understand that you know he or she is after you. 

If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(更早地) before the bus leaves. If you don't, you may not be able to catch the bus. On the bus, don't sit alone. Sit behind the driver or with other people. Don't sleep. 

Those are my {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (看法). Don't you think so?
