Once a circle missed a wedge(楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly. It admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with grasses. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. It put the found piece into itself and began to roll. Now it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the grasses. When it rolled so quickly, it realized how different the world seemed. Then it stopped, left the found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The lesson of the story , I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything isn’t in some ways a whole man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn(渴望), to hope, to come true the dream of something better.

I did he told me. To my great 65 . I discovered that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change(like being very thin). But there were things I could and wanted to change. For the 66 time, I got a clear 67 of myself.

When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.
One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum.He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn’t afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, “You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?” I did not know how to answer that question. He continued, “It’s OK if you can’t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.” Then he sent us to mum’s workplace by taxi.
My whole life I have depended on the kindness of many strangers, I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I do not even remember what the man’s face looked like, but he taught me a lesson—people are more important than things.

1970 was the World Conservation(保护)Year. Everyone must know that the world is in danger. 16 is one example of the 17 .At one time there were 1,300 different kinds of trees and flowers in Holland(荷兰),but now only 866 remain(继续存在), 18 have been destroyed by modern man. We are changing the earth, the air and the water, and 19 that grows and lives. If we go on like this , we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps 20 is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world tomorrow are 21 young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save 22 .
Now fifteen million young people in many countries are studying 23 and the country around him. In some countries they spend much time as “conservation volunteers.” They plant trees and help to 24 wild birds and animals.
But everyone, 25 young people, must work to save our world.
