Carol has three sisters. All of them are very beautiful. Sometimes she feels very bad because she doesn't look like them at all. She is short and heavy and she doesn't have big eyes or beautiful hair.

As young girls, her sisters often go to parties on weekends but Carol always stays at home—reading books and doing the homework. She says it's her dream to go to university(大学).

Ten years later, Carol grows up. All her sisters get married(结婚) at a young age and don't live a happy life. But Carol is now a teacher in a university and she spends most of her free time taking trips. Every day her life is colorful.

Well, you see it won't matter if you are not beautiful but you must study hard all the time. That may be the only way if you want to make your dream come true.

When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our uncle. He was a geologist and loved to go on long {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(步行) to find stones to add to his collection at the university.

One {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(星期六) morning, our uncle gave us two backpacks. "You can help me carry the samples(样本)," he explained. The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(惊讶的) that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.

We {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(到达) the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle's backpack was nearly {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(空).

"Why did you give us so many stones?" we asked.

"I didn't. You did," he said, waiting for a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(一会儿) before continuing. "You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude(态度) test today."

"What do you mean an ‘attitude test'?" we were {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(想知道).

"You see, I listened to every word you said. And if you complained(抱怨) about anyone or {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(任何事情), I added a stone to your bags. But whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive(积极乐观的) thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks."

We did. Surely, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(我们的) were full.

"I hope you will {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(记住) this little attitude test and live your life wisely. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is.

My school has really been a fun place for me to learn and grow. 

Once a man went to the doctor in his village and said, "Sir, the thoughts in my mind are always bothering（使烦恼） me. Please1 me. "

The doctor gave him the2 of another doctor and said, "Go to his house and live with him for a month. Look carefully at his lifestyle. There you will3 how to solve your problem. "

The man went to the doctor's house and told him, "The doctor in my village asked me to4 with you and learn about your lifestyle. " The doctor5 . 

Days went by, and the man found there was nothing6 about the doctor's lifestyle. He talked to the doctor, but he didn't find anything to learn from their talks either. The only thing the man couldn't7 was that the doctor washed all his plates at night and he washed them again the next morning. 

One day, the man asked the doctor about it. 

The doctor replied, "I do this8 it's necessary to make sure the plates are not covered with dust（灰尘）. Since a little bit of dust falls again on them during the night, I wash them again in the morning. 9 is your problem. Clean your mind at night and clean it again in the morning. 10 the mind will become pure（纯净的） and not bother you anymore. Regular（有规律的） cleaning of mind is very important to a happy life. "

Connor Halsa is a 15-year-old boy. One day, he caught a wallet while fishing with his family on Lake of the Woods. Connor opened the wallet and found there was some money in it. He showed everyone the wallet. Then they took out the money and put it all on the ground to make it dry. 

There was a total of $2, 000 inside the wallet. "My dad said we should give the wallet back to the owner. We did it. We found a business card in the wallet and called the number. At last, we got in touch with the owner, who was a farmer named Jim Denney, " Connor said. 

A month ago, Jim Denney was fishing in the same lake. His wallet slipped (滑落) out of his pocket and fell into the water. He didn't even realize it was missing until he had to pay for the boat trip. But he gave up looking for the wallet because the lake was so huge that it was nearly impossible to find the wallet. 

Jim Denney made the trip to meet Connor and his family. "To thank them, I tried to give them some money, but they refused, " he said. 

 The Palace Museum, a widely visited cultural landmark in Beijing, announced new visiting rules on Thursday. These rules include a ban(禁令) on"interviews" and"commercial(商业的) photography". Without the museum' s permission, activities such as performances, on-site surveys and religious events are not allowed. The new rules will come into effect on June 30. Those who seriously break the rules will be listed as"uncivilized tourists".

 Fang Qiongqiong, a cultural sociologist in Shanghai, said these rules were made to prevent chaos(混乱) and improper behavior at historical sites like the Palace Muse um. She added that balancing the social and cultural role was a difficult task.

 Efforts to stop improper behavior at popular tourist spots in China have increased. The Palace Museum' s ban on commercial photo shoots is a noticeable change. A staff member said commercial photo shoots were often seen at the museum and sometimes put off the closing time.

 The museum's new rules, especially the ban on photography and filming, have become a hot topic on Sina Weibo. Netizens have different opinions. Some wonder if online streaming will also be banned. One netizen supports the new rule, saying the age of short videos is excessive and people can do crazy things in public places to attract attention.

 According to data, the Palace Museum welcomed 30,000 visitors on January 1, one of its busiest days. Tags like"Palace Museum' s autumn view" and"snowy Palace Museum" are popular on The Little Red Book. Chen remarked that the new ban might reduce the museum's exposure(曝光) on the Internet.

 The notice also said day tickets would no longer be sold at the museum entrance. All visitors must make reservations in advance with their real names.
