2．This car accident occurred early in the morning on the main street．

1．It was the first day of school．I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder．I turned around to find a little old lady smiling at me．
She said．"Hi handsome．My name is Rose．I'm eighty-seven years old．Can I give you a hug？"
I laughed，enthusiastically responding，"of course!"And she gave me a giant squeeze．"Why are you in college at such an age？"I asked．
"I'm here to meet a rich husband，get married，have children，and then retire and travel．"
"No，seriously．"
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!"
We became instant friends．Over the course of the year，Rose made friends wherever she went．She loved to dress up and she took great delight in the attention given to her from the other students，she was living it up．At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet （宴会） and I'll never forget what she taught us．
As she began to deliver her prepared speech，she dropped her note card on the floor．A little embarrassed，she simply said，"I'm sorry．This whiskey （威士忌酒） is killing me!I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know．"As we laughed，she cleared her throat and began："We do not stop playing because we are old； we grow old because we stop playing．There are only four secrets to staying young，being happy and achieving success．You have to laugh and find humor every day．You have got to have a dream．When you lose your dreams，you die．We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up．If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive tiling，you will turn twenty years old．Anybody can grow older．That doesn't take any talent or ability．The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change．Have no regrets．The elderly usually don't have regrets for what they did，but rather for things they did not do．"
At the year's end Rose finished the college degree．One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep．Over two thousand college students attended her funeral to honor the wonderful woman!

20．We often close ourselves off when unfortunate events happen in our lives； instead of letting the world soften us，we let it drive us deeper into ourselves．We try to deflect the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn't exist，but although we can try this all we want，in the end，we can't hide from ourselves．We need to learn to open our hearts
to the potentials of life and let the world soften us．
Whenever we start to let our fears and seriousness get the best of us，we should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior．The items listed below are ways you can open your heart more fully and completely．
Breathe into pain
Whenever a painful situation arises in your life，try to embrace it instead of running away or trying to mask the hurt．When the sadness strikes，take a deep breath and lean into it．When we run away from sadness that's unfolding in our lives，it gets stronger and more real．We take an emotion that's fleeting and make it a solid event，instead of something that passes through us．
By utilizing our breath we soften our experiences．If we dam them up，our lives will stagnate，but when we keep them flowing，we allow more newness and greater experiences to blossom．
Embrace the uncomfortable
We all know what that twinge（刺痛） of anxiety feels like．We know how fear feels in our bodies：the tension in our necks，the tightness in our stomachs，etc．We can practice leaning into these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go．
The initial impulse is to run away-to try and suppress these feelings by not acknowledging them．When we do this，we close ourselves off to the parts of our lives that we need to experience most．The next time you have this feeling of being truly uncomfortable，do yourself a favor and lean into the feeling．Act in spite of the fear．
Ask your heart what it wants
We're often confused at the next step to take，making pros and cons lists until our eyes bleed and our brains are sore．Instead of always taking this approach，what if we engaged a new part of ourselves that isn't usually involved in the decision making process？
I know we've all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our"gut"impulses：when asked，we can't explain the reasons behind doing so-just a deep knowing that it had to get done．This instinct is the part of ourselves we're approaching for answers．
To start this process，take few deep breaths then ask，"Heart，what decision should I make here？What action feels the most right？"
See what comes up，then engage and evaluate the outcome．

19．RED lanterns adorn（点缀） the aisles of a small supermarket．There are stacks of red envelopes on sale，for stuffing cash in and handing out as gifts．A sign offers seasonal discounts．Such festive trappings are quite common in China in the build-up to the lunar New Year，which this year starts on January 28th．But this is Yangon，the capital of Myanmar，where Han Chinese are a mere 2.5% of the country's population．They are a sign that Chinese New Year is becoming a global holiday．
Several countries in Asia celebrate the lunar New Year in their own way．But dragon and lion dances in Chinatowns the world over have helped to make China's the most famous．These days growing numbers of people who are not of Chinese descent are joining in．In Tokyo window cleaners dress up as the animals of the Chinese zodiac（十二生肖）．Barcelona's Chinese parade includes dracs （a Catalan species of dragon）．America，Canada and New Zealand have issued commemorative stamps for the year of the chicken．Last year New York City made the lunar New Year a school holiday for the first time．
The spread of the spring festival，as China calls it，is partly due to recent emigration from China：9.5million Chinese people have moved abroad since 1978，many of them far richer than earlier waves of migrants．It also reflects the wealth and globe-trotting ambitions of China's new middle class：festivities in other countries are partly aimed at the 6million Chinese who are expected to spend their weeklong holiday abroad this year．International brands are trying to lure these big spenders with chicken-themed items．
Conscious of China's growing economic and political clout，foreign leaders have taken to noting the occasion．Britain's Prime Minister，Theresa May，has given a video address，a tradition started in 2014by her predecessor，David Cameron．Last year the country's royal family tweeted a picture of Queen Elizabeth dotting the eye of a Chinese lion-dancer's costume．Also in 2016，Venezuela's culture minister admitted that his country was celebrating Chinese new year for the first time-with six weeks of festivities-in a bid to improve economic ties with China．It is rumored that this year's World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year．
China also sponsors related events，such as a display this year of martial arts in Cyprus and a traditional Chinese temple-fair in Harare，Zimbabwe．It may give Chinese officials satisfaction to see foreigners enjoy such festivities．They lament the growing enthusiasm among Chinese for Western celebrations such as Christmas-in December cities across China are bedecked with Santas and snowflake decorations．Chinese New Year is a welcome chance to reverse the cultural flow．

18．Smog in Europe and North America could be more than 25times more deadly than the average air pollution found in Chinese cities，a new study suggests．In the largest ever study of its kind in the developing world，researchers tested the effects of air pollution on the health of people in 272 cities in China．
They found average annual exposure to fine particles，known as PM2.5，in those cities was more than five times higher than the level recommended by the World Health Organization （WHO），according to a paper in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine．
However they also discovered that it was much less likely to increase the death rate than PM2.5in Europe and North America．
The researchers，led by Dr Maigeng Zhou，of the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention，suggested this was because China is affected by large amountsof natural dust blown by the wind from arid areas，while most pollution in the West comes from industry．
They found that for every increase of 10micrograms of air pollution in a cubic meter of air，the mortality rate increased by 0.22percent，discounting deaths from accidents．
Professor Frank Kelly，an expert in environmental health at King's College London，who was not involved in the study but has studied air pollution in China，told The Independent："Those relative risks areconsiderably less than those seen in Europe and the US．For mortality（死亡率）in Europe we are working on a six percent increase per 10micrograms．"That suggests air pollution in Europe is about 27times more toxic than average air pollution in China．
However，Professor Kelly said cities like Beijing，Shanghai and Hong Kong were likely to suffer from Western-style air pollution．"The natural dust component there is not of the magnitude that it would dwarf the coal，biomass and fossil fuel signals，"he said，"That may be true in certain cities whose pollution is not dominated by local power generation or major traffic congestion．"
Natural dust particles can cause physical damage to the lungs and trigger an asthma attack．Particles of carbon produced when fossil fuels are burned can lead to similar problems but they are also coated with toxic heavy metals，chemicals and volatile organic compounds．These are able to pass from the lungs into the blood stream where it is thought they cause further damage to the body．
Areeba Hamid，an air pollution campaigner with environmental group Greenpeace，said："Poisonous air causes damage to people's health wherever in the world they live．We now know fumes from diesel（柴油机） vehicles area lot more poisonous than car companies claimed and this is a big cause of air pollution in Europe and North America．These companies have a lot to answer for，but so far they've managed to avoid any real accountability．"
The study of cities in China found the average annual expose to PM2.5 was 56 micrograms per cubic meter，compared to the WHO guideline limit for safe air quality of 10micrograms．
People who were older than 75，had less education or who lived in hotter places were more likely to die．It is thought people in warmer cities were more likely to spend time outside or leave their windows open，thereby breathing more polluted air，the researchers said．They also speculated that less well educated people might have poorer access to health care or experience poorer environmental health conditions．

Do you like to go to the cinema or watch a film online？People have different answers to the question．
Some people think that going to the cinema is a better choice．To begin with，the screen is much larger than what we have at home．The image and sound effects are amazing，which are totally different from what we feel at home．Besides，it's a good way to communicate with friends if you invite them to go with you．Other people，however，hold the view that they prefer to watch movies at ho me．It's convenient and money-saving to watch films online．You can enjoy the films you choose without being disturbed in such a quiet place．
It is my opinion that although the tickets are very expensive，I will go to the cinema instead of watching films online．In this way，I will have a good opportunity to communicate with my parents or friends．What's more，the magic of silver screen is so fascinating that it cannot be replaced by other ways of watching films．．

14．If you are a Wet Blanket （a person who doesn't enjoy himself/herself and thus prevents others from enjoying themselves） when it comes to nature and your kid，you are most likely a caring，protective parent who wants to keep your child safe and sound．You may be so determined to protect your kid from dirt，sunburn，or scratches （划伤） that you try to avoid the outdoors．Or you may just find muddy clothes and sandy toes require too much time to wash．Perhaps you hate to get dirty yourself．The natural world may just make you nervous and you might worry those bugs （虫子） and hats will suck you dry．It may be that you just never got the chance to be outdoors when you were a kid and now know nothing about what to do with your kid．
While it is every care-giver's job to protect their kid，your worries may cause your child to grow up as a Wet Blanket as well．If you prefer the indoors yourself，you may be keeping your kid from outdoor experiences without even realizing it．Your attitudes about nature have a huge influence on how comfortable your kid feels outside．You may need to go against your own nature and"open the door to get your kid outside!"
You may already realize the value in helping kids spend time outside in nature and know that playing in nature settings helps children grow up mentally．Perhaps you already introduce your child to nature through books，museums，and zoos．Maybe you just need some ideas of what to do with kids outside．Try some simple nature activities with your kid，or sign up for nature programs to develop your skills．While it may be a challenge for you to overcome your own nervousness about nature，you can raise a child who is happy and confident in the natural world．
One of the easiest ways you can get your kid outside is to become a Door Opener．Even if you don't enjoy playing on the mud，you can lake breath and let loose!Undirected time to explore nature is an important part of raising a caring kid．This might be free time in the backyard，allowing him to wander ahead on a walk or simply providing him with materials for a project．Putting aside your own nervousness and providing"in-the-wings"support will enrich your child's journey as a nature lover!Belt out a song （引吭高歌），build a snowman，watch the clouds，or plant a seed with your child．Help your child connect his creative side with nature．
