Let's have a look at some different kinds of entertainment (娱乐).

 Watching television is one. There are different kinds of programs on TV. Change the channels (频道) and you can see everything on TV, from news, to music, to movies.

 Going to the cinema is another. Once a week or twice a month, it is good entertainment, if you like watching movies. You make a plan, go out, watch a movie and eat out! It's more interesting than sitting on the sofa and changing channels.

 Surfing the Internet is another! You can talk with friends and play games. You can use it to do work and study. You can find everything you like on the Internet.

 Books are still man's best friend. Reading a book is the best way to get calm. A good book will take you to a new life. Now many people don't like this entertainment, but you should try it, if you are bored with others.

    It is said that everyone has two boxes hung on our necks. The small box at the front is full of other people's mistakes, while the big one at the back is filled with our own shortcomings(缺点).Most of time, it's easy to find other people's mistakes. It's hard for us to see our mistakes behind us.

    A boy called Tony, always looked at the front box to check what was in it. He saw other people's mistakes very quickly. When Ben was impatient with him, he said to Ben, "It's so easy for you to get angry. It is hard to be friends with you."

    He told his mother that Michael was dishonest. "Michael takes my things without asking. And he forgets to return them. "Tony himself did not like sharing his things with anyone.

    When John was too tired to go hiking with him, he said, "You are such an unfriendly person."

    He thought Nick was too proud of his rich parents. But Tony was so proud of himself because he could not see any of his own mistakes!①He could not understand why he didn't get on well with others. Then his mother said to him, "If you change the boxes around, maybe you can find the answer." He did it as his mother said, and his face turned red.②他发现自己并不比其他同学更好.

    Kitty came into my life twenty years ago. When my son, Josh, and I were walking by "The Stock Exchange" store in our hometown, we saw a basket full of little cats in the window. We talked about getting a cat as a friend to our new little dogs, Asja. It was easy to choose. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}She has attractive eyes and the sweetest face.

    In her new home in the woods, Kitty spent many afternoons climbing trees and playing with the bushes. She easily made friends with Asja. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Kitty was Josh's cat. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}My love to her came as a surprise because I had never had a cat as a child. I loved to pick her up, holding her into my arms. I danced with her around the room while listening to my favorite music. Every time I took out my yoga mat, she was right under my nose, making her appearance known.

    Now Kitty is no longer here with us. The house feels very different. Many times during the day, I find myself stopping to remember if she needs to be fed, or if her water needs to be changed. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I now realize just how much a part of my life she really was.

    Kitty stayed as long as she could-twenty years, three months. And as lucky as I was to have her for so long. There will never be a time when I will not miss my Kitty girl. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
