Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales, like "True love can overcome anything", and "Even a frog can turn into a prince". However, at a certain age, we start to learn new things about life, particularly that love doesn't always win, and that a frog is just a frog. But somehow, our love for fairy tales never dies. Just look at animated films like The Lion King and Frozen, which have millions of fans, young and old.
"Fairy tales stay here because they are the stories of our lives in the simplest form," wrote US author Laura Packer on the National Storytelling Network website. "They are stories of love and loss, desire and death, riches and ruin." Fairy tales are all about reality. But if children only see just one side of reality, adults usually see the other.
For example, in the 2014 film Maleficent, we're told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective (视角) of the evil queen. Unlike the children's version of the story, we see that the queen wasn't born evil. Instead, she suffers great losses growing up, leading to the creation of her "evil" side.
It looks as if fairy tales aren't just stories our parents read us at bedtime. They may usually start with "Once upon a time…", but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn't always need a "Happily ever after" to be a good one.
When Earth was just a tiny young thing，it birthed many new continents - then it swallowed them all up, leaving just a few traces behind, a new study shows.
These first continents had a special skill for living fast and dying young, but in doing so, they paved the way for solid continents that eventually led to the emergence of plate tectonics (版块运动), the new study suggests.
For hundreds of millions of years, the current continents have been more or less stable. But very little is known about the continents that existed early on in Earth's history.
To learn more about that early history, the researchers used computers to model the interactions of rock and magma (岩浆) in the Earth's crust (地壳) and below. The modeling showed that the earliest continents, known as the Hadean (4.6 to 4.0 billion years ago), were weak and likely to destruction. Modern continents have a comprehensive high tensile strength, meaning it's hard to tear them apart by stretching.
By the time the Archean (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years ago) began ending the Hadean, the crust which had first formed was almost entirely replaced by the seeds of the modern continents.
In a sense, the researchers found, those lost Hadean continents made the later, more stable continents possible.
The emergence of continents at the close of the Hadean also contributed fertilizer that would later help seed life on Earth, the researchers wrote. Bits of them broke off and entered the atmosphere and oceans, providing necessary nutrients for the life forms that soon emerged.
"Tennis-I'm saying goodbye." With these words, Russian tennis superstar Maria Sharapova, 32, has announced her retirement.
"How do you leave behind the only life you've ever known?" she asked herself. Several reasons played a role in Sharapova leaving the tennis court for good. Over the last couple of years, she's dealt with an injury in her right shoulder and inflammation(炎症) in her forearms that may have prevented her from returning to top form. In more recent news, the death of her longtime friend, US basketball legend Kobe Bryant, also played a factor in her decision to retire.
"As I think you've seen throughout my career, my perseverance has been my greatest tool, my greatest strength," Sharapova said in an interview. "But I've started feeling that it was becoming a weakness, because the stubbornness was keeping me going for wrong reasons."
Sharapova rose to stardom(明星身份） at age 17 when she won Wimbledon in 2004. She won a total of five Grand Slam singles titles. She also earned the Fed Cup title in Russia in 2008 and an Olympic silver medal in singles in 2012, among many other accomplishments.
For 16 straight years from 2004, Sharapova was the world's highest-earning female athlete, according to Forbes. Off the court, she made millions of dollars from companies such as Evian and Nike, as well as starting her own candy company. "Tennis showed me the world-and it showed me what I was made of," Sharapova wrote on Facebook on Feb 26. "It's how I tested myself and how I measured my growth. And so in whatever I might choose for my next chapter, my next mountain, I'II still be pushing. I'll still be climbing. I'll still be growing."

When I was a young boy, our whole family lived in my Nana's old house right beside a set of railroad tracks. I can remember the whole house would 1 when the trains passed by. I often spent my summer afternoons walking down the 2. I can remember the first time I tried to 3 myself and walk on a (an) 4 rail. The steel rail was very narrow and quite 5 so I didn't have much success. First I tried holding my arms out and 6 my feet as I walked. This only led to me falling off after a few steps. I 7 to walk backwards once but quickly slipped off. It was only when I started looking 8 that I was able to walk the rails.
Looking back on this time I now9 that it also gave me a wonderful lesson about 10. You can't go through life watching every 11 you take or choice you make. This only leads to 12 yourself and you soon go off the rails. Looking behind you is even 13. Only when you look ahead can you really 14 forward and see the life you want to lead. Then you will walk on with a light 15.
Diabetes is a medical condition in which the human body does not produce enough insulin (胰岛素), a (chemistry) that controls how we use glucose. Glucose (葡萄糖) is a kind of sugar (use)by the body to provide energy for cells. Our cells need insulin to use glucose. As insulin is also needed to control the level of glucose in the body, a patient may at times have too much or too little glucose in his or her blood. situations can cause other health problems.
Diabetes can be passed down through family generations or (cause) by an illness or being overweight. People who have this disease may feel thirsty and (tire) all the time. They may also (loss) weight and have to go to the toilet very often. People with diabetes may also have heart disease, high blood pressure and strokes, all of are often caused by the disease. While diabetes cannot be cured, some treatments can be very(effect). Diabetics can take insulin shots to make up for the insulin their bodies do not produce. A strict diet and proper exercise can also help. People with diabetes should try to eat less high-energy food rice, bread, potatoes should be limited, and sweets like chocolates should be avoided. Diabetics should also quit smoking and drinking. In addition, diabetics should talk to their doctors first to see what exercise is suitable for their condition and (watch) their glucose levels when they exercise.
It was my first university day of new term, which I had been looking forward to in the summer vacation. Mother decided Dad should accompany me though I thought I could manage it myself. Everything here appeared a little fresh to me; yet I still had a butterfly in my stomach. The letter of admission said my dormitory was Room 512 on the fifth floor.
I climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following with two bigger more. By the time I set foot onto the fifth floor, I got entirely burnt out and at the same time had a feeling of loneliness. Worse still, Dad missed a step and fell on his back, sending my new suitcases rolling down the stairs. "Damn it! (见鬼!)" he screamed, his face turning red. I knew storm was on the way. Whenever Dad's face turns red, look out.
How could I ever get him to finish unloading the car without screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls, whom I would have to spend the rest of the year with? At that point, doors along the narrow passage were opening and strange faces peering out (探出) with curiosity, as Dad walked with difficulty close behind. I felt it in my bones that my college life was getting off to a bad start.
"Wish to find the room quickly!" I prayed as I walked with my head bent. "Get him into a chair and calmed down." But then again, would there be a chair in my dormitory? Or would it be a purely empty room? I didn't know what was in store for me.

And there on a well-made bed sat a girl, my new roommate.
