Have you ever tried to draw a straight line, only to find it turns out all wrong? Or, have you ever wanted to show 1 at a party and found the song you’d practiced so many times suddenly2 more difficult? I’ve had both these3. As a senior student, I have to 4 many exams. Each time, I think, “ I5 fail this time,’’ but I get a low mark. Don’t be surprised---it’s not 6 I don’t try, do enough preparation, 7 take it seriously. On the contrary, it is because I give it too 8 attention. The thought “ I must pass” makes me taste the terrible flavor of failure.
I often9 to my friends, “ Don’t be too hard 10 yourself.” However, when I 11 my own goals, I do not listen to my own advice. So why not 12 this crazy thought of achieving the best? Just face the problem13before you with a calm mind, work and you will succeed.
In my opinion, 14 a calm state of mind is a skill for life. People15 want to succeed realizing this is of 16 importance. So 17 time you’re trying to draw a straight line or 18 a performance, tell yourself, “ If I can just do it 19 than last time, it’s a success.” Keep a calm state of mind, and you will be happy 20you succeed or fail.

I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me the World Wide Web.
I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook, Myspace -- I’ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I was introduced to electronic commerce(e-commerce): business on the Internet.
Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices. Others have hundreds of employees (雇员) across the world. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com, Yahoo.com?
My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal (交易) on Steve Madden shoes that were on sale at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerceless” Web-surfing, not knowing about all the deals I was missing out on.
That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.
“Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?” I asked her one day. Strange envelopes (信封) had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister; and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their elders!
“Oh, it’s the things I ordered online!” she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money- online or off!
“How much did all of this coat?”
“Oh, only about $15 in all!” She said excitedly. “Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s a way better than going to the mall.”
I felt as if there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.

The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.
