Have you ever read Wonder? It is a book about growth, friendship, kindness and love. The1of it is R. J. Palacio from the United States.

August Pullman was born with a different face. As a result，he had to2twenty—seven plastic surgeries(整形手术)And this stopped him3going to school When he first started school at ten,4made fun of him. The story shows all the ups and downs August5at his new school. Students often bully(欺负)him for not looking6But at the same time, he makes true friends there and even wins an award7his graduation ceremony(毕业典礼)

This book has deeply8my heart. It's not a fairy tale(童话)at all—life isn't one.9the story is very realistic(现实的)，as it shows things that could really happen in middle school

I also like this book10it's told from different points of view. Along with August, we get chapters(章节)showing other characters' points of view, including his sister. This gives11a chance to understand different characters feelings and thoughts.

In one way or another, we are all just like him. We all12ups and downs, but like August, we've all won. This book has also changed my attitude toward13There are many difficulties in the world,14there's always a reason to smile.

This book is really a page turner. So I15recommend (推荐) you to read it.

Once, there was a king who owned many kinds ofanimals, but he did not have a great horse. So ho commanded(命令)his scrvants(仆人)to go and find the fastest horse in his country. They searched for months, but they returned without success.

One day, a servant named Zan heard about a very fast horse in another country. He asked fo permission to travel there, and the king agreed. Sadly, when he arrived, he learned that the horse had died But Zan had an idea. He bought the horse's head for five hundred pieces of silver.

When Zan returned, the king was very angry. "You paid five hundred pieces of silver for this?" the king shouted. "What good is it to me? I want a living horse, you fool!"

"Please be patient, my king, "the servant said." When people hear how much you paid for the head of a dead horse, they will think you will pay an enormous(巨大的)amount for a living one! People from other countries will bring their horses to you!"

That's just what happened. Almost immediately, lots of people started bringing their fast horses to the king. The king was delighted, and he soon found exactly the horse he wanted.

Many of us don't pay much attention to eye care. Eyes are the window of the mind. We should give a lot of care to our eyes. Natural eye care should be put in the first place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not eating right kinds of food, genes (基因) and aging(老化). Watching too much TV, using computers for too long and reading too much are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you have to work in front of a computer, you'd better take a break once in a while.

Some dirt(灰尘)can make your eyes red and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes too. If there is some dirt in your eyes, the best way is to clean your eyes by using clean water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyes from UV rays(紫外线)

Eating healthy food will be beneficial to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins(维他命)A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to cat food that has these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because they help relax your eyes. If a person often does eye exercises and eats the right kind of food his eyes will probably stay in good condition.

All above are natural ways of eye care that help us protect our eyes. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.

What is life's greatest gin? It is choice. Choice is the ability to choose some actions from a set of things to achieve a goal.The reason is that it tums us from dumb ( 蠢的) animals into artists. Choice becomes the tool we use to sculpt(雕塑)our life. The tool doesn't come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility.It is enjoyment

Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It's the creative power of life. Life is always changing and we have to make lots of choices.We often need to check where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what action will I take now to make myself realize my goals?

In fact, we have to make choices every dayFor example, you decide which stores to shop at and which bus station to go on. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are much more important than deciding where to shop. The more we understand the difference between small and big decisions, the more pleasure we will get.

Life is like a chess game.All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win but to enjoy the game. Make the best moves you can under the conditions. Then you can enjoy your life.

Have you ever been cycling(骑自行车运动)? This spring my elder brother and I(spend) a long weekend cycling in the countryside. We rode(slow) along because we didn't come to break any speed records, or to do sports. We just wanted(get) some fresh air and a break from schoolwork. We rode along country roads with(excite). And there was one of the best things about our trip that made us happy: every few(kilometer) there was a village where we could find everything we needed.

All the local people were really friendly. However, on the(two) day, something happened. We(go)down the hill when my brakes(刹车) started making a noise, but I didn't mind at all. Suddenly I fell off the bike, it was(break). I had to walk home with my brother We were tired when we set off the next morning, but soon felt cheerful when the sun came out

What we enjoyed(our)most about cycling is—it's simple and fun. I think nothing is(good)than cycling if you're looking for a break that is active and cheap
