    My parents used to tell me how important the school was for me, but I didn't think so. I didn't pay attention to it. What I cared most was to 1 with my friends. But one thing let me finally 2 what my parents meant.

    One day, when I walked past a mobile phone store, I saw an advertisement on its door. It was hiring(雇佣）new 3 ! "Sir, are you hiring people?" I went into the shop and asked." Yes, but you can't be the man who we 4 ," the manager answered. He looked at me for a few minutes from head to 5 ."Do you have a high school diploma(文凭)? " he asked, "Or do you have any work 6 ?”

    I felt so ashamed and frustrated that I didn't know what to say, so I just turned around and left.

    I could not fall asleep that night, and I thought a lot about my 7 . "I must go to school because I can't do anything without a good 8 , "I said to myself silently. I never went back to the store again 9 I finished my study and got a diploma.

    Everything looked the same when I returned to the 10 the same people and the same design. However, 11 with last time, I had more confidence this time. So it was a great chance for me.

    I 12 my diploma to the manager who once refused me. He looked at 13 fora while and then said to me," Great, you are in."

    Now I am still working in the same store. With this experience, I always advise teenagers to 14 school. Education helps you have a bright future. Now I am not worried about my future because I'm still keep 15  in my free time. Education brings my future, doesn't it?

    “Everything happens for the best, (一切都会变好的)" my mother said, whenever things weren't going my way. "Don't worry. One day your luck will change."

    After I had finished my college education, I discovered that Mother was right.

    I had decided to try for a job in radio. I wanted to host a sports program. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I got turned down every time. In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn't got enough experience. "Get some work in a small station and work your way up, "she said.

    I went back home. I couldn't get a job there, either. I felt really down. “Your luck will change, " Mom said to me. I tried another radio station in lowa. But the owner told me he had already had someone.

    As I left his office, I asked, "How can someone be a sports announcer(播音员)if he can't get a job in a radio station?" I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call, "What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?" He put me in front of a microphone(麦克风)and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game.

    I succeeded!

    On my way home, Mom's words came back to me, "One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, you'll feel doubly good because of all the hard work you've done." At that moment I knew just what she meant.

    Usually, many people complain they are facing problems. In fact, every day and everywhere there are problems. When one problem is solved, another one comes up.

    People have money problems, work problems, family problems, health problems, the list goes on. And we always think that people who are happy and successful have fewer problems than us. It seems that everything goes well with them. But the fact is that the more successful you are, the more problems you will have to face. Successful people just know how to solve their problems.

    We may see, new presidents are lucky, happy and successful. But they have to face bigger challengers and lots of pressure. To keep their countries moving forward, they have to be more careful about their work and decisions.

    You may ask, "If there are too many problems in life, then how can we find happiness?" The answer is to find happiness while you are solving your problems.

    On the other hand we need problems. They help us to grow. If you had a fight with your friend, what should you do? No matter who is wrong, I think you need to change the way you behave. Try to communicate with your friend. You can take some actions, such as spending more time with your friend and showing more love. By doing so, you will solve the problem and become a better person.

    In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western counties, it appears they are not nice guests.

    Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god.

    My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North America homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house.  But, don't be surprised if they say," No, you can't smoke. "

    Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your home, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.

    In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.

A. In China, guests are almost like gods.

B. Guests in China also have special habits.

C. At the very least, you could ask, "Is it OK if I smoke?"

D. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

E. And western guests sometimes look impolite or even rude in the eyes of Chinese guests.

    Last summer I some time off with my mother in Beidaihe. We stayed there from July 15th to August 5th.

    It is really a wonderful place. It is one of the most famous summer resorts(避暑胜地）in China. The there are tidy, with some trees and flowers around them. It is famous for its beaches, so lots of tourists from all over the world come to visit it every year.

    There are many places, such as the Olympic Park, the Pigeon Nest Park and the Tiger Rock Park.

    The Pigeon Nest Park becomes famous because it is one of the  places to watch the sunset. Thousands of people come to watch the sunset every day. People can also see different kinds of birds.

    We enjoyed there. We are hoping for the next holiday.

    A Seeing Eye dog is very special. One good thing about having a Seeing Eye d is that you can go anywhere in the city safely.

    I live in Barcelona, Spain. It's a big city, and there are many cars, b my dog Terra goes everywhere with me and doesn't let me get h by a car. Terra also guides me to walk safely in the subway.

    I have a baby boy, so a good thing is that my dog watches out for him, too. I can put the baby in his stroller, and Terra m sure we are both okay. I have had Terra for ten years, and I'm happy to have it.

    Lots of kids like to play computer and mobile games these days. Is this good or bad for us? How do we deal with this issue?

    In my opinion, playing games responsibly(负责任地)can help us relax. As the old saying goes," All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. "For example, when I finish five days of studying, I feel tired. That's when I like to play a game called King of Glory with my classmates. We all have lots of fun playing and talking about it. When we win, we feel happy. And when we lose, we still want to play more. I think that's why so many students in our school like to play this game. It can not only help us relax, but also strengthen our friendship.

    In addition, playing games can exercise our brains and help us think more quickly. When we start to play a new game, we're not very good at it. But we can get better through practice. This process exercises our brains and makes them more active. However, you should make sure that you have finished all of your homework before you play games.

    Still, some students seem like they are addicted(上瘾的)to games. They can't control themselves and will play games for five hours a day. That is not good. It's bad for not only their eyes, but also their health. They will feel tired in class the next day, which will affect(影响) their studies. That's not very responsible.

    Therefore, I can only say that we should try to be self-disciplined(自律的)and responsible when working out how much time we should spend playing video games.
