This is my third story.When I was seventeen, I

it was your last, someday you'11 most certainly be right." Since then, for the past thirty-three years, I've looked
3
the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, what would I do ?" And when there was no answer for too many days in a

About a year ago I

This was the closest I've been to facing

What is true friendship? True friendship doesn’t mean that when you need your friends’ help, you will
1
them to dinner, and you will put your friends in a difficult
2
when you have to protect yourself.
3
true friendship is understanding of the souls and the
4
of the hearts. True friends are connected in hearts every minute whatever the
5
is.
True friendship involves
6
: doing something for someone else while expecting nothing
7
; sharing thoughts and feelings
8
fear of judgment or negative criticism.
9
is essential to true friendship. We need to be able to
10
our deepest secrets with someone, without worrying that those secrets will
11
on the Internet the next day! Failing to
12
those secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. True friendship has
13
to do with fame, power, or possessions. True friends
14
contact you at usual time, but come to you
15
you need their help. They care not
16
you are, but who you are. You’re not his stepping-stone to
17
but are his walking stick to
18
difficulties. When you are happy, you are
19
to forget him, but when you are in trouble, he is the first one you will
20
for help.

Yesterday was my stepmother’s birthday. I haven’t been home for a long time, so I wanted to stop by the house to
1
her on this special day. I have been
2
on a low income so I was afraid that I couldn’t afford the long
3
. Gas is so expensive nowadays!
4
, I filled my tank with gas and set off.
I
5
at a shopping mall and found a present. It was the
6
gift and I knew she would love it.
7
when I got to the cashier, my card was
8
!
I didn’t have enough money to
9
the gift!
So I thought about the
10
for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something
11
, but I knew there was
12
else in the store she would have liked as much. So, I transferred some money from my saving account and was able to buy the gift. It took a
13
part of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
It turned out that she loved the gift and I
14
that even though I had spent almost all my money, my stepmother
15
the best. I was glad I gave her the best I could.
Before I
16
my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret handshake, he gave me some money. I hadn’t
17
anything to him about my financial
18
, but I guessed my dad just knew. When I got to the car, I saw the
19
he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift! It shows that doing the right thing always comes with great

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me --- about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want.

then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never

President because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation. I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their
6
--- schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a
7
of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college ---
8
their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and
9
with dignity.
Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous
10
to protect our country --- but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women
11
. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free --- that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation

The heaviest snow in a hundred years hit the south of China. It snowed

for half a month. Many people were

in railway stations, bus stations and airports. People did everything they could to fight the

. While fighting the snow, people

The couple hadn’t eaten anything for several days
7
the snow. They tried to fly into people’s home to warm themselves, but every house was
8
tightly. They got to a side of a balcony ( 阳台 ) where wind couldn’t reach. They jumped and flapped (拍打) their wings to
9
the attention of the people inside the house, who were
10
their own things. The wife’s body was
11
. She couldn’t move any longer. The husband came near and
12
her with his wings. The husband lost his heat soon because of his opened wings.
The next morning, the housemaster went to the balcony to
13
his flowers and saw a dead swallow outside.
14
it, he found they were two embracing(拥抱) together. Thinking of the
15
the snow had brought to people, he was moved to tears . He took them in for giving them some

they couldn’t feel any longer. He found a small box,
17
it with some hay (干草)and lay the couple in . He

them in the garden of the community.
In my hometown in the countryside, a swallow family live in the roof of my house . They

Money! I
5
deep into thought. Is it money that comes between us? Money itself has no
6
; yet it cannot simply be
7
to be good or bad. The problem
8
what attitude we have towards it.
At present, we have a more
9
material life than before, but we’re becoming more and more
10
. Why? In my opinion, the
11
is the change in people’s personal
12
. They wrongly believe that
13
money should be their only aim in life, so they
14
all sorts of ways they can to
15
this aim.
They are afraid of being
16
and fooled. If everyone acts like this, what will our
17
be like?
Needless to say, money is becoming more and more important in our society,
18
it shouldn’t be the “be-all and end-all” of life. If a person only concentrates on
19
, he will be lonely and void(空虚).
It is up to us to make our lives happy, not money. We should try our best to help others
20
and freely. If everyone does so, our society will be better and better.

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books. I thought to myself, “
1
would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be
2
.”
As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,
3
all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went
4
and landed in the grass.
My
5
went out to him. So, I ran over to him.
6
I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it
7
, he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the
8
student of our class, one of those guys that really found
9
during high school. Therefore he had the honor to prepare a
10
speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was
11
. So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be
12
!” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to
13
those who helped you make it through those
14
years. Your parents, your teachers…but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best
15
you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with
16
as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to
17
himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend
18
me from doing the unspeakable(不能说出来的).”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the
19
of your actions. With one small gesture you can
20
a person’s life. For better or for worse.

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather.Several times, it
1
obstacles(障碍物in its path.And after a pause it made the necessary detour. At one point, the ant had to
2
a crack(裂缝) about 10 mm wide.After some brief thoughts, the ant laid the
3
over the crack, walked across it and
4
up the feather on the other side, then continued on its way.I was
5
by the cleverness of this ant.It was only a small insect, lacking in
6
yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.
7
this ant, like the other two-legged creatures
8
on the earth, also shares human feelings.
After some time the ant finally reached its
9
– a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its
10
home.It was there that the ant met its
11
. How could that large feather possibly
12
such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t.So the ant, after all this trouble and using great brightness, overcoming problems all along the way, just
13
the feather and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through
14
it began its journey and in the end the feather was
15
more than a burden. Isn’t our
16
like this?
We worry about our families; we worry about our money or the
17
of it; and we worry about all kinds of things.These are all
18
—the things we pick up all the life, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to
19
that at the destination they are
20
and we can’t take them with us.

Scientists have created a “ human-like robot” that can dance and do the housework.
“ Mahru” has been developed to imitate humans and can move its lips, eyebrows and pupils(瞳孔). The machine can also move its upper and lower body freely and automatically stop itself when walking.
In addition, it has been programmed to give out two kinds of pleasant smells to match its emotions.
The 1.5 tall robot was produced by researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and is the first South Korean- developed machine of its kind.
“‘Mahru’ will open the way for the commercial use of humanoid robots doing housework,” You Bum-Jae, leader of the development research team ,said. “‘Mahru’ can dance while walking on its legs and is able to work in place of a human.”
Through an advanced motion capture (捕获) system, “Mahru” can follow a variety of human movements and move its hands freely enough to deal with any obstacles that may get in its way when walking.
State-funded KIST showed the robot during a presentation at its head office in Seoul.
People here were treated to an entertaining demonstration which saw the robot show off the full range of its skills, most notably s series of dance moves.
The research team added that they had designed another “ Mahru”, this time with sensors(传感器) allowing it to distinguish(分辨) between faces and objects.
The showing of “ Mahru” came a week after researcher in Japan said they had created the “most human-like” robot in the world. A team at robotics department of Osaka University in Japan claimed that “ robogirl”, Repliee R-1, “ looks, moves and interacts (相互作用) like a human, and has silicone(硅胶) skin that feels almost human to the touch.”
