    Like most young couples, my husband and I didn't have money for luxurious gifts on our first wedding anniversary. We were1 to have a meal and watch a romantic movie at home. Simply being able to enjoy each other's 2 was enough. No gift on earth could come close to3 our love for one another.

    So when the mailman knocked on the door, I was very 4to see a medium-sized package from my mother. Both eager and curious to see what was awaiting us in the package, I5 tore open the box and immediately my eyes were filled with tears. Inside the box was a6 folded quilt my mother had made by hand. It was white with rose7and gold thread. The backing8_beautiful tiny purple flowers.

    Accompanying the quilt was a 9from my mother:

    “Happy Anniversary !10is a quilt. The purple was your wedding colour and the gold thread 11the golden rings you two exchanged on your wedding day. May this quilt keep you warm when times are cold and 12you of the day you said your vows--Love, Mom.”

    I was touched13words. I knew my mom surely had sacrificed to be able to afford this. The time alone to sew such a detailed quilt was14to me. I just15my mother coming home from a long day at work and staying up16 the early hours of the next morning delicately17the quilt together. We both knew a part of my mom's18was sewn right into the quilt. How could any gift ever compare to such a genuine gift?

    Many years have passed since our first anniversary, but neither of us has19the beautiful quilt. My husband always jokes that the best anniversary 20I have ever received wasn't from him but from my mother, and I agree.

In a restaurant, I met a young man. He was always complaining (抱怨) ever since he sat down, complaining his company for little pay, his unjust manager and the 1 workmates. Finally, I caught the moment he stopped and asked him2 , "Since you are so unhappy3 your work, why not4 ?" He looked at me as if I had come from the moon. "Quit the job? Where should I go? You know the situation is improving." I got it. Actually, his job was not so5 .

It6 me of Arthur Ashe, a well-known tennis player in America. He happened to catch AIDS when he got a blood transfusion. A lot of his fans showed their7 and blamed the God. Arthur Ashe announced: "I get a deadly cancer, but I would not8 the God and myself because I know there is something we can not9 . I have no choice but to10 it when the day comes."

In his words, there is a11 , kindness, as well as the behaviors of a grown-up man. Unfortunately, we complain everything when we have to face the12 and troubles in reality.

We always think that the God is unfair. But it is worth complaining if our dissatisfaction goes away, sadness13 , and feelings become motivational after complaints. However, the problem is like a mass of cool fog. The complaint is so14 that it confuses our minds and then drops us deeper and deeper in the mud.

Life is like a15 , from ignorant(无知) to mature (成熟). And I believe that true maturity starts from no complaint.

As summer approaches, many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand. One great way to make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel. Clearly, I am not a naturally adventurous person, but I have found that taking the risk and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very rewarding experience.

Because I am usually quite busy during the school year, most of my travels take place during the summer. Over the past few summers, I have hiked in the Grand Canyon, explored Niagara Falls, and camped out in upstate New York. Although these experiences are varied, they are similar in that they instil (逐渐灌输 )a sense of appreciation for nature and a more balanced view on life. When I hiked in the Grand Canyon, for example, I was in awe (敬畏) of the geological influences that shaped the canyon.

Adventures, of course, are not limited to hiking. There are many other choices, such as camping, volunteering in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries. In my opinion, adventures are more enjoyable with family or a few friends. There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor adventures. For example, when I was in Boy Scouts, I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends. When I came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip, I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and nature around me.

Next fall, I will attend college. In the meantime though, I hope to make the most of my summer to explore and travel. Now, I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine.

When I visited Maine last fall, I was amazed by how beautiful it was and the tall trees and coasts that exist, and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature there this summer.

This wasn't the way I wanted to see Rome. Sure, it felt  1 to spend Christmas there and stand in awe of the city's attractions. But life wasn't meant to turn out like this. 

I was supposed to go to Rome with my mom back in

My mom spent the final months of her life5 the terrible disease though it was a losing 6 . After she passed away, I 7 a trip to Rome. And 8 , you never get used to a world that mom isn't a part of. You just deal with it because you don't really have a  9

Last week the electricity in my flat went out. I had just got home from work and was1 making my tea, when all of a sudden the power was off. I was surrounded by complete2 . The lights had gone out, the oven had stopped working and my phone was no longer3 . My flatmates and I tried to4 it but we soon realised that we couldn't. We would have to wait for a(n)5 to come the next morning. This left me a whole night without any6 . My typical evening is spent watching TV and looking through social media. At that night this wasn't7 . Due to the lack of lights I couldn't even read a book. We weren't prepared with candles or matches. We just rely too much on electricity, expecting that it will8

So for me it was an early night to sleep. And I couldn't help but think, do we9 electricity too much? That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic10 , as basic as running water. But really, electricity is a luxury(奢侈品) that we've grown to11 for granted. I use electricity all the time, even when it's not really necessary. I use it to12 my phone when I have to wait for even just a minute, for example when waiting for friends. 

Our overuse of electricity is a big13 . It contributes to global warming, which is something that we really should be worried about. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. How would we14 in a world without electricity? Cutting back on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer. I know15 that I can cut down on my use of electricity.

The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, "I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it." It strikes a chord(引起共鸣) with me because that's exactly what I have been doing these years.

One of my earliest memories of doing before learning is baking scones(烤饼) when I was about 10 years old. I wanted to bake them to surprise my mother when she returned home.

Before that, I'd observed how my mother baked them many times. As I started to try, I didn't know I shouldn't handle the dough(面团) with my hands too much once I'd added the baking powder(发酵粉). However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because my mom had already taught me.

By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were close to perfection—flat, as a result of overhandling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen, which was like a tornado had just blown!

Have my attempts always been successful? I wish! Some of my kitchen disasters were so terrible that even the dogs wanted nothing to do with them. My gardening failures didn't live to see another season.

But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever new software I have to learn how to use, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I'd say I don't, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it's OK to do and then learn, and when it's probably better to learn and then do!

My grandfather was born in a small town in Italy. He would wake up at four in the morning every day to work on the farm. Although he was a great student in school, he only went up to Grade 3 because he was required to help with the family farm. 

Later, my grandfather used his own hard-earned savings—the small amount was all he had—to travel to Canada. He was alone in a new country, not knowing anyone and not speaking English or French. At a farm, the owner quickly saw what a hard-working young man my grandfather was, so he paid my grandfather a much higher salary. Although the owner was very nice to him and treated him like family, he was not satisfied. He dreamed of being more successful, of better career advancements. 

One day, he got an offer to work in the construction industry. My grandfather, a newly immigrated young famer, who was eager to move up in the world, caught this opportunity and prospered( 发达 ) through hard work. Around 1967, however, he become overwhelmed(不知所措的)with stress, sleepless nights and anxiety from the business. He also had two young daughters to take care of and my grandmother was in the hospital at the time. The combined stress and anxiety unfortunately drove him into a major depression. During a medical check-up, his doctor warned him about his health. He knew it was time for him to make a change and decided to sell his shares in the company. 

He then began a smaller business of his own, which resulted in less stress and more time with family. Had he chosen not to quit his former job, he might have been a billionaire today. My grandfather will turn 95 in October; even at this ripe old age, he is still strong, well and high-spirited. Looking at his story as a life example, he teaches us to work hard, but at the same time not to forget to enjoy life and have a good sense of humour about it all. 

Work is important, sure, but there is much more to life than just that. Overall, this is the ultimate key to happiness.
