Last summer, I had an exciting adventure—my first surfing lesson at a beautiful beach near Shanghai. It was a sunny day, and the sea was as blue as the sky. I couldn't wait to get on the board and ride those amazing waves!

When we arrived at the beach, our coach and lifeguard, Mr. Liu, greeted us with a big smile. He 1 us some basic rules and safety tips before we even touched the water. For example, he explained the importance of always keeping an eye on the waves and never turning our backs on them unexpectedly. 

After a quick warm-up, it was time to 2 our wetsuits and life jackets. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as I stepped into the water. The waves were stronger than I had imagined, pushing me around playfully. Mr. Liu showed us how to paddle (划桨) out to 3 water, where the waves were bigger and more suitable for surfing. 

Finally, it was my turn to try standing up on the surfboard. I paddled hard, waiting for the right moment. When a big wave came, I remembered Mr. Liu's advice: "Use your arms to push yourself up quickly and keep your balance by spreading your legs wide apart. " With all my strength, I managed to stand up, 4 only for a few seconds. It felt like flying!

 Each time I fell off the board, I felt a little discouraged, but Mr. Liu was always there, encouraging me to try again. He said, "Falling is part of learning. Just keep practicing and you'll get better at it. " His words filled me with determination (决心). 

By the end of the day, I had fallen of countless times, but I also 5 to ride a few waves successfully. The sense of achievement was incredible. Surfing taught me not only how to conquer the ocean but also how to face challenges in life with courage and 6 .

Winter can be a challenging time to take exercise because of the short daylight and cold weather, and there are also plenty of holidays to keep you away from exercising regularly. So how to keep moving and not to gain too much 1 during the winter time? Here are some tips for you. 

Make yourself relaxed. You don't have to do some intense (剧烈的) sports. When you run or walk, don't worry about how 2 or slow you're going. Just find a rhythm (节奏) that feels easy and good. 

Warm up enough. 3 you get out of the door, warm up indoors to raise the heart rate, without sweating a lot. Run in place, walk up and down the stairs, or use a jump rope. Try to take exercise during the daytime. When the air is the 4 and the sun is out, the weather is more suitable for exercising. But if you have to walk or run in the dark, please carry a flashlight. 

Get a 5 . Exercising with a friend, even once a week, can help you get out of the door. It's hard for you to 6 to go out when someone is waiting for you, and you two can encourage each other.

"Put yourself in someone else's shoes" is an idiom that means if you imagine yourself to be in another person's s, good or bad, you may understand how they feel, good or bad, or why they have done what they've done.

This idiom comes from the fact that a pair of shoes that fits someone well may not fit another person. Therefore, literally, only if you put on another person's shoes can you feel what it is like to walk in them.

Metaphorically (比喻地) speaking, "their shoes" stands for other people's position. For example, an author was criticized in many r on his latest book, and one of his friends might privately say to himself: "I wouldn't want to be in his shoes now". That is, p that nothing happened doesn't work at all, and he certainly doesn't want to be hurtful. By trying to "put on their shoes", we try to imagine ourselves in their position, by seeing things from their point of view, by thinking about how we would want to be t if we were them.

Harper Lee, of course, has expressed this idea best in her novel To Kill a Mockingbird: "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it." In g, it is a better idea to put yourself in his shoes for a while before judging a person.

Did your family get together to elect a member to do the dishes after meals? Are you one of the people who think doing housework is annoying?

Washing dishes can reduce anxiety. People who cleaned their plates mindfully, such as focusing on smelling the soap, feeling the water temperature, and touching the dishes, could lower their nervousness levels by 27%.

Clearing the kitchen is closely related to body health. A recent study showed that people with untidy homes were 77% more likely to be overweight. People tend to eat high-calorie snacks rather than green vegetables when they stay in a messy kitchen. As we all know, this unbalanced diet can finally make people lose control of their weight, and can even be harmful to their health.

Your mom is right: Starting your day with a freshly made bed is what people call a "keystone habit". It has a chain reaction to bring about a series of good phenomena（现象）. Getting up with a tidy bed every morning is linked to better productivity, a greater sense of well-being, and stronger skills at sticking to a budget. Bed-makers also report getting a better night's sleep than those who leave their covers messy in the morning.

Growing flowers and vegetables can lower depression risk. It can provide aerobic（有氧的）exercise via weeding, cutting, and raking. Additionally, gardening activities such as spading, lifting, and tilling can strengthen and tone your muscles, providing you with good anaerobic（无氧的）exercise. Mild exercise has been shown to decrease anxiety and depression. So does gardening. Its effect on reducing anxiety and depression is evident, too.

A. But few people can realize the effect of it.

B. Making bed every morning can raise productivity.

C. It looks like relaxing, but the intensity is quite high.

D. It may be because choosing healthy food in a messy kitchen is harder.

E. The following four benefits of doing housework might change your mind.

Kite fighting was not just a game; it was an exciting battle in the sky. The strings (线) of the kites were specially treated, coated (覆盖) with tiny pieces of glass. The goal was simple yet difficult: to cut the strings of your opponents' (对手) kites using your own string. The last kite left flying in the sky was the winner. However, the real fun began after the final kite was cut. That event started the "kite run". Children and adults would run through the streets, chasing the falling kite. Catching that last defeated kite was a great honor, a prized trophy (奖杯) that proved your skill.

I was known as a great kite fighter, skilled at cutting other kites. But my success heavily depended on my best friend, Hassan. He was the greatest kite runner I had ever seen. He could always know exactly where a kite would land without even looking at its flight. He never made a mistake and never brought back the wrong kite. On that important winter day, I had successfully cut the last kite. I saw a look of hope and pride in Baba's eyes. Now, everything depended on Hassan. He had to bring that blue kite back to me.

I returned home first, and Baba hugged me tightly and told everyone how proud he was. It was the moment I had always dreamed of. Later, filled with excitement, I went out to look for Hassan, wanting to share our victory. I found him in a quiet, dark alley (小巷), cornered by three older boys. The leader was Assef, a well-known cruel (残酷的) boy whom we all feared. Hassan was holding the blue kite tightly against his chest. He refused to give it to Assef. "Amir Agha won the tournament, and this is his kite," he said bravely.

What happened next was terrible and painful to remember. Because Hassan would not give up the kite, Assef and his friends attacked him. They hurt him badly. I hid behind a wall and watched the whole scene (场景). My heart was pounding with fear, but I did nothing to help my friend. I was too scared to move. After a while, I turned around and ran away, leaving Hassan alone.

Some time later, Hassan came home, with torn clothes and a bleeding face. He still held the blue kite in his hands. He walked up to me and handed it to me silently. I took the kite, but I couldn't look him in the eye. A heavy feeling of shame filled my heart. I knew I had failed him as a friend, and that feeling would stay with me for a very long time.

Much of the electricity used to charge the vehicles is expected to come from renewable energy sources, according to Better Place CEO Shai Agassi. "Hawaii, with its ready access to renewable energy resources like solar, wind, wave and geothermal (地热), is the ideal location to serve as a blueprint for the rest of the U.S. in terms of reducing our dependence on foreign oil," said Mr. Agassi in a press conference. "Hawaii has made the promise to break its dependence on foreign oil, and is leading the way in coping with the most important economic and energy issues facing us today."

Hawaii spends $7 billion on oil imports annually. The Wall Street Journal explains the scale of this burden: Hawaiians pay high electricity prices because costly oil is burned to produce power. The price of electricity ranges from 24.9 cents per kilowatt hour on Oahu to 38.5 cents on Hawaii, the Big Island, compared with an average of 8.9 cents in the continental U.S. Such high prices should encourage the development of renewable energy.

The island state is well-suited to electric vehicles, as drivers rarely travel more than 100 miles at a time, reducing the need for stations where exhausted batteries are exchanged for fresh ones. The New York Times notes that Better Place hopes to get started in such island economies that have high energy costs and short trips, and then subsequently become more affordable for sure as the charging networks are scaled up.

"We always knew Hawaii would be the perfect model," Mr. Agassi told the Times. "The typical driving plan is low and leisurely, and people are smiling." In addition to partnering with Hawaii and Bay Area cities, Better Place has begun building stations in Denmark, Israel, and Australia.
