We are often warned by our teacher not to waste precious (宝贵的)time, because time lost will never return. I think it quite true. What does time look like?  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Time is abstract (抽象的), so we have to think about it.

Time passes very quickly. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.  It is because they don't know how to make use of their time. They waste it in going to theatres, cinemas and parks, and doing other things. Why do we study every day? Why do we work? Why do most people would rather take buses instead of walking? The answer is very simple. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

Today we are living in the 21st century. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. When a person dies, his life ends. Since life is short, we must devote our time and energy to our study so that we may be able to serve the people well in the future. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, for it does not only bring us failure but also does us other harm. If it is necessary for us to do our work today, let us do it today and not leave it until tomorrow.

Remember time is much more valuable (珍贵的)than money.

A. We look upon time as life

B. Nobody knows because we can't see it or touch it and we can't buy it with money

C. Some students say they don't have enough time to review all their lessons

D. Laziness is the thief of time

E. We wish to save time because time is precious

Ten years ago, I took up studying luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience ill luck. Many people volunteered for my research. Over the years I interviewed them, watched their lives and had them take part in my experiments(实验).

I carried out a simple experiment to discover why there were differences in their ability to find lucky chances. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying, "Tell the researcher you have seen this and win $50." This message took up half of the page and was more than two inches(英尺) high. It was looking at everyone straight in the face, but unlucky people tended to(倾向于) miss it and lucky people tended to notice it.

Unlucky people are just more nervous than lucky people. They are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected. As a result, they miss out on chances. Lucky people tend to be more relaxed and open. They can see everything that is in front of them, rather than just what they are looking for.

My research shows that lucky people live by several principles(原则). Here are some of these principles:

* Listen to your gut instincts(直觉) — they are often right.

* Be open to new experiences and break your normal thought patterns.

* Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well.

* See yourself being lucky before an important meeting or phone call.

With the increasing popularity of Internet words, more and more students like to use them frequently. Students are even starting to use Internet words such as"YYDS, juejuezi"in their homework.

Why Should You Learn a Second Language？

In today's highly﹣connected world, there are many reasons for learning a second language. Here are a few of them. 

You can talk with more people. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Talking in someone's language does two things. It shows respect（尊重） and it allows you to connect on a deeper level. You might be surprised at how open people are when you speak their language. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Learning a language isn't just about learning words and grammar. It's also about learning about the history and culture of a country. Learning new languages can open up your eyes and bring you closer to people of different countries. 

Traveling is easier and more fun. 

Traveling is much easier if you speak the language of the place you visit. It will help you learn more about the place. The people there know their city better than any visitors. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

It makes you smarter. 

Learning a second language improves your brain. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} The more you use your brain to learn, the more active your brain will become.

Robots can help us in many ways. And Topeliffe Primary School is doing something new by helping autistic（患自闭症的）children through robot friends. These robots can dance，play games and tell stories. They can do Tai Chi as well!

Dr Guldberg，a teacher from University of Birmingham，said，"Studies show that autistic children often feel safe with computers and robots. So we wonder how robots can help the children to communicate with others. For example，robots can act as their friends and listen to them at school. "

Ian Lowe，a teacher from Topcliffe Primary School，teaches about 30 autistic children. He said，"The robots are very smart at helping autistic children with their learning. In the future we hope they can help with learning at home. "

And the students love them. Seven﹣year﹣old Joshua says he likes playing games with the robots. Daniel and Kevin say they like to watch the robots dancing. And Stephen says he likes Robert Max when it tells him stories. 

In a way，the robots are helpful for these autistic children to express（表达）their ideas.
