Bags of Love

    Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother's house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some 1.

    After the first week, I noticed that the food was 2 very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my 3, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper 4 and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to 5 her.  I saw her taking the food to the street 6. She would also 7 a lot of time talking and playing with them.

    One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mum was 8 in the area.  The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own 9. Then it hit me— why wouldn't she want to tell me about it?  Was she worried that I would stop buying food 10 I found it out?

    When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug. I told her she didn't need to keep it a 11 from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others 12 on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so 13 by how selfless( 无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so 14 of my mum.

    I 15 to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.

    Welcome to Nanchong, a beautiful city with a long history. You will have a wonderful time here.  There are many places of interest.  Now let's look through some of them.

    One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱) . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

    At that moment, I thought to myself, "Why aren't most adults this way?" Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure(失败) .

    However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed.  The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure". What's more, they probably think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so.  In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.

    I was deeply impressed by the boy's persistence(坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.

    Trees are one of the oldest " citizens (公民) " of our Earth. They keep our air clean, reduce noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials.

    Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns( 刺) to warn animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.

    When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.

    It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree gives us shade, oxygen and natural beauty; it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we give the adult tree proper care, it will go on to live healthily for many years.

    Gradually, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空心的) or part of it becomes dead, it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals.

    In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When we are looking at the life of a tree, we learn about that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge.

    Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of the trees!

    Nowadays, many people have realized the importance of leadership( 领导) skills.  Poor leaders may cause many problems. But good leaders do better in solving problems than poor ones. Without good leaders, problems can't be solved. What's more, good leaders are good at cooperating with others. Usually, they are good listeners as well. But being good leaders isn't easy. So let me give you some suggestions to help you become a good leader.

    Maybe nobody teaches you how to be a good leader, but you can learn it on your own.

    Read books about great leaders from home and abroad. By reading, you can learn a lot from their experiences and find out their secrets of success. Then you will be more confident of being a good leader.

    Learn from students' leaders in your school. There is no doubt that those leaders who are popular with the students in your school must have their advantages over others. Take an active part in the activities organized by the excellent leaders and learn from them at once.  Then you will know the answer.

    Find the students that have the same interests as you have and start a club. Activities should be organized regularly in the club. When the members in your club have trouble in solving problems, you should communicate with them and find out the causes of the problems.  After the problems are solved, you can share pleasure with them. As time passes by, you will get more trust like those popular leaders.  Sooner or later, you will be a good leader.

    Get started before it's too late! As long as you keep trying, you will develop your leadership skills.

A. Learn from books.

B. Practice what you have learned.

C. So good leaders are very important.

D. In short, being a good leader needs courage and practice.

E. Don't you want to know why they are so successful?

    Pan Jianwei, " Father of quantum (量子) " , was born in Zhejiang in March 1970. After he at the University of Science and Technology of China from 1985 to 1995, Pan went to Vienna in 1996 for further studies and stayed there until 2001. Then he returned to the Chinese university as a physics professor and began to build a quantum science research team at the university. The team now includes about 50 , most of whom are also returnees  from overseas(海归) .

    He became a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ( 中 科 院 ) in 2011. Of all the members, he was the one. In 2015, he was named the standing vice - president of the University of Science and Technology of China.

    Under his leadership, the world's first quantum satellite(卫星) was launched(发射) in August 2016.

    Pan Jianwei was recognized by Nature magazine on list of "10 people who mattered" in 2017.

Save Our Environment

    There is no doubt that global warming has become one of the biggest problems we face today. So it's important for us to protect our environment.

    As middle school students, what can we do? First of all, try to take bicycles and public transportation to school instead of cars b it will make less CO2( 二氧化碳) . It can not only be good for our health, but also make it possible for us to get closer t nature.  Then, it's necessary to p up rubbish and put it into dustbin( 垃圾桶) . Planting more trees can also help a lot. However, we should never forget to turn off the lights when we leave the class- room. B, why not reuse water and paper to live a low-carbon life?

    I think it's everyone's duty to help our Earth. And even the simplest activities can make a real d to our environment. So don't put it off! Let's do what we can to protect our home. I believe we will make our world more and more beautiful.

    One of the biggest mistakes a person can make is to try not to make mistakes. As you make decisions in your life, you will very likely make some mistakes. But making mistakes is a big part of how you gain(获得) experience.

    A simple example. You do poorly on a test because you didn't study hard enough. One bad test is not the end of the world, but it can quickly teach you that if you don't study, you won't do well.

    Mistakes sometimes lead to arguments(争论) between people.  But if you learn to understand things from another person's point of view, you will be able to learn very quickly from the mistakes you make and the mistakes you think other people have made. You can turn mistakes into opportunities(机会) .

    For example, if you learn to understand others' feelings and problems, you will understand the people you work with much better instead of getting angry. And you will learn to talk about problems and be more patient with people you don't agree with—a friend, or a mate in your workroom or company.

    So next time you think you've made a mistake, stop and ask yourself what you've learned from it, and what you will do differently in the future.

    Show me the person in the room who has made a lot of mistakes, and I'll show you the person who has probably learned a lot.
