A while ago my family and I went sledding（滑雪橇）and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are 1 that most of today’s social problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no 2 to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything 3 there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a 4 side. I watched my two oldest children （then five and four） take my youngest （then two years old） by the hand to help her up the slippery slope 5 they went up. They would have been 6 without her, but not once did they try to sneak by her without helping. And when the sled 7 my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to 8 them falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes 9 among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can 10 them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to 11 some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children 12 on the sideline （作为旁观者）and know that they will befriend them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame 13 much of society’s problems – not the youngsters who want everything, 14 the adults who have taught them to selfishly 15 only of themselves.
Most adults have been 16 at some time or another, sadly, many 17 that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can 18 that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with 19 of bumps （撞伤） and bruises （擦伤）, but we can all make it to the 20 if we remember to help those who need it.

查看习题详情和答案>>For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”
Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.
First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（追击）ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?
I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

A week ago, I had the great pleasure of reading an e-book, When Money Talks, Listen! By Rich Ezzo．It took only about an hour to read.
When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication．Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth．I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.
When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either．He, too, is hungry far more important than money．
Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review? Simple．I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper．After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle which promised to forever change the way we thought about money．I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install(安装) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yielded(让路) them as a few ones arrived in town．I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is．
It has been a week and the effect is the same．I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week．This is an e-book you’ll want to read, I promise．I often recommend books to my daughter, and this is one that I didn’t just “suggest”---I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, “Read it, you’ll love it.”
I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn’t go myself．I urge you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book．You won’t regret it.
