“I saw him gasp (喘气), but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate said. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.”

Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to treasure her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.

“I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.”

Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to- skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him.

"We were trying to attract him to stay.” Kate said. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.”

Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father’s finger. The couple’s lost boy had made it.

Manalo and Manu, a professor of learning sciences in Swiss, put together a special issue (专利) last December on benefiting from failure. The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for achieving success. 【2】 Another confirmed that advice on failures is most constructive when the receiver is prepared to experience unpleasant feelings.

Manalo and his co-authors also focused on overcoming one everyday form of failure: not completing a task. They asked 131 students to write an article about their school experiences. Half of the students received instructions for their writing, and half were left to their own. 【3】 Afterward the researchers found that those in the instructed group were more willing to complete their articles, compared with those who lacked guidance—even if the latter were closer to being done. 【4】

【5】 Stephanie Couch, the director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, holds the opinion. Couch, whose work was also featured in the special issue, says that we should tell them to think of failure as part of a process toward success.

A.However, all were stopped before finishing.

B.The saying shows the importance of success.

C.Teaching students not to fear failure makes goals achieved more easily.

D.One study reported that the sooner students fail, the sooner they can move forward.

E.Though having some truth to it, the saying does not tell us how to turn a loss into a win.

F.They believed that learning how to fail can help people avoid becoming lasting failures.

Many of us were raised with the saying 'Waste not, want not. ' None of us, however, can 【1】 (complete) avoid waste in our lives.

Any kind of waste is thoughtless. Whether we waste our potential talents, our own time, our limited 【2】 (nature) resources, our money, or other people's time, each of us can become more aware and careful. The smallest good habits can make

【3】 big difference. It's a good feeling to know in our hearts we are doing our best in a world that 【4】 (be) in serious trouble. By focusing on 【5】 (save) oil, water, paper, food, and clothing, we are playing a part 【6】 cutting down on waste.

We must keep reminding ourselves that it is 【7】 (easy) to get into something than it is to get out of it. Actually, severe damage 【8】 (do) to our land is fairly recent in the history of our evolution. It’s time for us 【9】 (say) no to waste so that our grandchildren's children will be able to develop well. We can't solve all the problems of waste, 【10】 we can encourage mindfulness.

A Reddit user going by the username Belairboy wrote that when he was 8 year old, he told his dad he would buy him a 1957 Chevrolet(雪佛兰)Bel Air on his 57th birthday.

Later, Belairboy revealed that he had hung onto the car for two years to make the promise come true.

'We would talk about older vehicles so as to make sure how much he would enjoy it.

My home is a little far away from my high school, so I choose to live in a school the first week I went to senior high. At first, I was afraid of live with my classmates, for what I missed my parents so much. Therefore, as time going by, I got on well with her. Every night after we slept, we would talk about what happened during the day. I remembered when I was at home, sometimes my mother would find fault with me. However, since I moved out, every time when I went home, my mother would be very nice to me. What’s more, I learned to be independent in the process.
