It was a fine spring day with beautiful flowers in the park. A young man arrived early and waited for his 1 under a big tree. But he was so short-tempered (性急的) that he wasn't in the mood(心情) to2 the scenery.
Suddenly, an angel appeared. ＂Put this button (按钮) onto your clothes. If you don't want to3 ， just turn the button to the right. You can skip over any time period if you want to.＂
The man happily held the button and turned it softly. Oh! How amazing! His girlfriend appeared before him and was gently 4 him! ＂How I wish our wedding ceremony could be held now!＂ He turned the button once again. A great wedding 5 in front of him.The beautiful bride(新娘) was standing next to him and the band was playing cheerful music. He lost6 in it deeply.
The 7 in his heart kept coming out: I also want a big house with a garden in the front. He turned the button. Then he wished for children. All of a sudden, a group of lovely children were playing 8 in the huge living room. Again, he jumped at the chance to turn the button to the right.
How time flies! Before he could see beautiful flowers in the garden, everything had been covered in deep snow. Looking at himself again, he found his hair totally 9. He had already become so old.
He felt so sad. He would rather enjoy life 10 than watch it go by in such a hurry. He quickly turned the button to the left. Once again, he was waiting for his lovely girlfriend under that big tree.

Nowadays, more and more people pay attention to their physical health. There are all kinds of articles and medicine about how to take care of their bodies. Most of them tell people to keep healthy by taking something into their bodies.
However, a recent study in the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health examined the influences of having a ＂higher purpose＂ on health. 136,265 people took part in 10 different studies, mostly in the United States and Japan.
An important relationship was examined between having a higher purpose in life and reducing the risk of death from all causes, especially from cardiovascular disease(心血管疾病). The people who were observed were 67 years old on average at the beginning of the studies, and they had been followed for seven years. During that time, more than 14,500 of them died and more than 4,000 suffered cardiovascular events such as strokes (中风) or heart attacks.
The study showed that a higher sense of purpose has something to do with the reduction of about 20 percent of death from all causes as well as a lower risk of cardiovascular problems. This is a meaningful finding, and the knowledge should encourage us to help people find their purpose. It's not just nice to have one—it can actually save lives.
＂Giving life a higher purpose has long been an important way of life. Now the findings further prove that they may help people to look after their health and bring them a sense of well-being.＂ Said Dr. Alan Rozanski, one of the authors of the study and members of the research team. So keep looking for your purpose!
| The school is far away. The traffic is bad. I am tired of (讨厌) the way to school. My father smokes a lot. Every day when I get home, I feel too angry to calm down for study because the house is full of smoke. My house is near the main way. Cars are running outside the window. It is a big pollution for me. I don't have many friends and my only friend is computer games. My parents are angry with this and lock my computer. My parents drive me to take a writing class at weekends. I don't like to study 7 days a week. I feel tired and hate the school work. |
A. We must establish different laws to deal with different kinds of pollution. But I think the most useful way to reduce environmental pollution is that everybody should know the importance of environmental protection. B. Talk to your father. Don't be afraid to ask him to stop smoking. He must set up a good example and offer you a good study room. C. Don't make the children get some bad limitation (模仿).For example, children shouldn't go to the video game houses. D. Get up earlier. Take the way to school as a way to do morning exercise. Enjoy the morning way. Try to be happy. E. Organize your study well and get a good result. Show your parents that you can study by yourself and ask them to give you some playtime. Then you can enjoy the happy weekends. F. Computers games are really interesting. You can play games after all the homework. But you cannot be crazy about it. G. To move the house is very difficult. To change your own idea may be a bit easier. A peaceful heart can forget the noise outside the window. |

With the development of the Internet and the popularization(大众化) of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a commonplace(司空见惯) in our life. Here customers can buy almost everything they need.
Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most important is perhaps its convenience(便利). People don't have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities(商品) they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person. The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. All they need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mouses. The commodities they order will be delivered（递送）to them promptly(便捷地).
However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the customers can't see the goods or try them on personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered(注册). They will never give anything to you after they get the money from you. Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain(申诉).
