War, money and power are a few things that countries and people are concerned about． 1 I agree that those things are important, I believe that everyone should start to 2 more on a growing problem－global warming．
Global warming will not only 3 our country and our generation, but also the entire 4 and future generations．It is 5 because the weather has been a lot warmer over the past few years, which 6 the melting(融化)of the ice in the Antarctic．This will soon cause water levels to 7 and flood parts of the world．
Many people ignore this problem because they feel 8 they can't do anything about it and have more 9 things to worry about．If we all 10 so, then our ozone layer(臭氧层)will be 11 and the planet will no longer be able to make life continue to exist．We should do our best to limit the use of our planet's 12 resources(资源)and keep our air clean． 13 , future generations will suffer from our 14 ．
Some might feel that they can't stop global warming from 15 ．But if every single person does his or her part in keeping the air clean, then it will become a 16 effort．Sure, there are some things that cause pollution and that we won't be able to 17 change．This may include cars burning oil, but we can 18 adjust some of these things．People can start carpooling, taking the bus, riding their bikes, or 19 just walking．
If everyone takes 20 now, I believe we can start seeing remarkable results within a few years．
Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel．Green said,“Clearly I am the most important．I am the sign of life and hope．I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves．Without me, all animals would 1 ．”
Blue interrupted,“You only think about the 2 , but consider the sky and the sea． 3 the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea．Without my peace, you would all be 4 ．”
Yellow chuckled(笑道),“You are all so serious．I bring laughter, fun, and 5 into the world．”
Orange started next to blow her trumpet,“I am the color of health and strength．I may be 6 , but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life．When I fill the sky 7 , my beauty is so striking that no one gives another 8 to any of you．”
Red could stand it 9 and he shouted out,“I am the ruler of all of you．I am the color of danger and of bravery．I am willing to 10 truth．I am also the color of passion and of love．”
Then came Purple and Indigo(深蓝)…．
The colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own 11 ．Their quarreling became louder and louder．Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder．Rain started to pour down 12 ．The colors crouched(蜷缩)down 13 , drawing close to one another for comfort．
In the midst of the clamor(叫嚷), rain began to speak,“You foolish colors, fighting 14 yourselves, each trying to dominate 15 ．Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, 16 ?Join hands with 17 and come to me．”
Doing as they were told, the colors 18 and joined hands．They formed a colorful rainbow．From then on, whenever a good rain 19 the world, a rainbow appears in the sky．They remember to 20 one another．
A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her yard．She said, “I don't think I 1 you, but you must be hungry．Please 2 and have something to eat．”
“
Is the man of the house home?” they asked．“No,” she 3 , “He is out．” “Then we can't come in,” they replied．In the evening when her 4 came home, she told him what had happened．“Do 5 them I am home and invite them in!” The woman went out and invited the men in．“We do not go into a house 6 ,” they replied．“Why?” she asked．
One of the old man explained, “His name is Wealth,” he said 7 one of his friends, “and he is Success, and I am Love．” Then he added, “Now go in and 8 your husband which one of us you want in your home．”
The woman went in and told her husband what was said．Her husband was 9 ．“How nice!” he said．“Since that is the 10 , let us invite Wealth．Let him come and fill our home with wealth!” His wife 11 , “My dear, why don't we invite Success?” Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house．She jumped in with her own 12 , “Wouldn't it be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love．” “Let us 13 our daughter's advice,” said the husband to his wife．“Go out and invite 14 to be our guest．” The woman went out and asked the three old men, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our 15 ．”
Love got up and started walking toward the house．The other two also got up and 16 him．17 , the lady asked Wealth and Success, “I only invited Love．Why are you coming in?”
The old men replied together, “If you 18 Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out．But 19 you invited Love, wherever he goes, we would go with him．20 there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!”
One of my friends did business with somebody else a few years ago．Their freighter(货船)was upturned by a storm 1 and their hope, together with their merchandise vanished 2 ．He was so upset by the blow that he became 3 and couldn't 4 concentrate his attention．His 5 who suffered the same catastrophe never lost heart．His days went on as 6 as before．My friend asked him how he could 7 it．He said：” You curse, you grieve, life goes on as usual; you are happy and enjoy yourself, the world 8 as usual．Which course do you follow?”
That's how a person leads his life．When you are optimistic and in a good 9 , your future seems sunny and bright． 10 , when you are worried and have your mind 11 in sadness, your future will turn dark．The latter situation, if you allow it 12 , will cost you a great deal．You will lose 13 and courage to fight for the better．You will 14 the joyful things that come your way．They are really the most important, the most reliable part of links of our life．If they get loose and drop 15 , how can you keep happiness?
There's a poem 16 ：“Whether you are 17 or not, whether you like or dislike, show attention or 18 , flowers bloom luxuriously all the same．” Yes, that's 19 ．Just as flowers keep blooming, fine days are passing away day after day．How to spend your days－joyfully or 20 －will entirely depend on yourself．
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses．So, I really 1 whether there is love between my parents．Every day they are very busy 2 to earn money to pay the high schooling for me．They don't act in the 3 ways that I read in books or I see on TV, and sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even 4 ．
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt．I asked her if there was 5 between them．She paused her work and raised her head with 6 ．Then she bowed her head and 7 sewing the quilt．I was very 8 because I thought I had hurt her．But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it 9 , but most of the time it disappears in the quilt．If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can 10 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there, and makes the quilt 11 ”．I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her 12 the next spring．
My mother suddenly got sick seriously and had to stay in hospital for a one-month treatment．Every morning and dusk after she 13 from the hospital, my father 14 my mother walking slowly on the country road．There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently glistened 15 the leaves．All of these 16 the most beautiful picture in the world． 17 their eyes, I know they love each other deeply．From this experience, I 18 that love was just a 19 in the quilt of our life．Love is 20 , making life strong and warm．
