I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father's words for the
seasons were "Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!" At that time, a week-long fair was held in the
town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the
busiest time of the year.
When "Fairtime" came, my grandma became the most "useful" and busiest person of the family.
Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking. All her rrelatives liked the
foodshe cooked. During "fairtime", they would come to live in her house and have meals there.
Grandma was always happy to look after them.
Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no loner "Fairtime". Grandma became
very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Granma in her house. We
did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school
then. What I
often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper's crossword puzzle. However, she
didn't look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.
To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair. One day, when I came
back room school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big
smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. "They
said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again." Grandma said
happily. "They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week
I've had in years!"
I suddenly realized that Grandma didn't want to be looked after. She wanted to be "useful",
appreciated and helpful.

Last spring I was walking in a park. In front of me there was a mum and her 3-year-old daughter. The little
girl was holding a string (线), which had a balloon at the other e 1 .
All of a sudden, a l 2 wind took the balloon from the little girl. I thought she would cry.
But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon rise to the s 3 , she cheerfully shouted out, "Wow!"
That little girl t 4 me something. Later that day, I received a phone call from my friend, he told me an
unexpected problem. I felt annoyed r 5 with "Oh no, what should we do?" But remembering that little girl, I
found m 6 saying: "Wow, that is interesting! How can I help you?"
One thing is for sure-life is always going to make us f 7 unexpected problems. However, how to deal
with them is our choice. We can choose to be annoyed or i 8 .
No matter what the situation is, a "Wow!" will always b 9 "Oh, no."
So the next time you meet one of life's unexpected g 10 , remember that little girl and make it a "Wow!"
experience. The "Wow!" always works.

| Venice (威尼斯) is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city. Even so, travel isn't that difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can lead you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along. Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped (逃跑) from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there. | |
