There was once a lonely girl who wanted love very much. One day while she was walking in the forest, she found two dying birds. She took them home and put them in a small 1. She was happy to have two "friends". She 2 them with love and the birds grew strong. One day the girl happened to leave the door of the cage open. The larger and the 3 of the two flew out of the cage. The girl was afraid that it would fly away. She caught it quickly. She felt glad that she caught the bird before it could fly away. Suddenly she couldn't 4 a sound from the bird. When she opened her hand, the bird was already dead. Her 5 killed the bird!

Then she noticed 6 bird jumping up and down 7 the cage. She could feel its great need for freedom (自由). It wanted to fly into the clear, blue 8. So she lifted it from the cage and let it fly away high. The bird circled once, twice, and three times. The girl 9 as the bird flew. She didn't care about losing the bird any more. She wanted it to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the 10 song she had never heard.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Nowadays there seems to be an app for everything. And mobile apps have been a part of our life. The following apps are part of the most popular apps.

No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world had a No Car Day.

The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities, including Taipei. Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.

In Beijing, more and more people are joining in the campaign (活动). It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on people not to use cars on June 5 (World Environment Day). The slogan (口号) for the day is "If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day."

Up to now, more than 200, 000 drivers have shown their support. "We can't control the weather, but we can choose not to drive," said Wu Zhonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have more blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2007, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period last year. Much of the dust (灰尘) comes from the desert (沙漠), but cars cause most of the air pollution. We must do more for No Car Day.

In a university speech (大学演讲) several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca-Cola Company said the following words.

Imagine life as a game. You are throwing and catching five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (反弹) back. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be damaged or even shattered (粉碎). You must understand that and try to keep balance in your life. How?

Don't lose your confidence by comparing (比较) your life with others'. It is because each of us is special. Don't set your goals (目标) by what other people consider to be important. Only you know what is best for you. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until you stop trying. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge (知识) is a treasure you can always carry easily. Don't say no to love by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tight; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

In a town in France, there was a farmer who lived alone. Every day he a pound of butter to his neighbor, who was a baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see he was getting a pound. After he weighed it, he found that he wasn't. The baker then took the farmer to the judge (法官).

The judge wanted to know the farmer's ways to weigh the butter. The farmer replied," I'm so that I do not have enough money to buy anything to weigh it. , I do have a kind of scale (天平)." The judge asked, "Then do you weigh the butter?" The farmer replied, "Before the baker started buying butter from me, I had bought bread from him. So now every time when I home the bread from the baker, I put it on the scale and give him the butter of the same ."

We always get back what we give to others. Whenever you take action, ask yourself this question, "Am I honest?"

Honesty or dishonesty can become a habit. Some dishonest people can lie a red face. Others lie so that they do not even know what the truth is any more. But who is it bad for? In fact, those who lie will hurt by their own dishonest behavior.
