5.Love is a two-way streetA father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced:"Dad,because today is your birthday and you're 40years old,I'm going to give you 40kisses,one for each year!"When the boy started making good on his word (履行诺言 ),the father shouted:"Andrew,don't do it now.I'm too busy!"
The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes.Feeling sorry,the father said:"You can finish later.The boy said nothing but quietly walked away."That evening the father said:"Come and finish the kisses now,Andrew!"But the boy didn't.
Unfortunately,a few days later after the father's birthday,the boy had an accident and died.His sad father wrote:"If only(要是…,该多好)I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words,and how much my heart is hurting."
Love is a two-way street.We must warmly accept any loving act,or others will take it as a"NO"and it can leave a scar(伤痕).If we don't receive love,our life will lose its true meaning.Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us.

分析 爱,是一条双行道.
父亲坐在办公桌旁,正盯着那些堆积了一个月来的账单,这时,他的小儿子冲了过来,大声宣布:"爸爸,因为今天是你五十五岁的生日,我想给你五十五个吻,一年一个!"当男孩正要兑现诺言时,他爸爸大声说道:"哦,安德鲁,现在不行,我太忙了!"
小男孩马上不吭声了,蓝色的大眼睛里涌满了泪水.父亲深表歉意地说:"过会有空再亲吧."男孩什么也没说,只是静静地走开了,失望的表情溢于言表.那天晚上,父亲说:"来吧安德鲁,现在可以亲了!"但是,孩子却没有做出回应.
不幸的是,这件事刚过去几天之后,小男孩就遭遇一起事故去世了.伤心欲绝的爸爸写道:"如果我早告诉他,对于那些无心的话我是多么后悔,他一定会明白我的心有多么痛."
爱,是一条双行道.对于爱的表示一定要热情地接受,否则对方会以为你拒绝了,从而留下一道伤痕.如果我们忙得连给予和接受爱的时间都没有,那未免也忙得太过分了!对于那些在我们身边,对我们弥足珍贵的人,用爱去回应他们爱的渴望,这最重要不过了!

Have you ever heard the saying“Don’t rest on your laurels”?“Laurels”means the achievements you have already got.The saying suggests that you shouldn’t be so satisfied with your achievements that you’ll no longer try to improve.
As to this saying,Mike Perham has set us a good example.Born in 1992 in Hertfordshire,England,Mike was just 14 when he became the youngest person to sail across the Atlantic Ocean.You might think the achievements are good enough,but Mike doesn’t think so.At the age of 17,he became the youngest person to sail all by himself around the world on a nine-month voyage(航海).
Mike is now 19,and he is still trying his best to break the records and push himself further.For his next adventure,he plans to fly around the world on his own,making him the first person of all ages to both sail and fly around the world.
Mike wants his achievements to encourage young people to realize their dreams.Since his adventures,he has travelled widely,speaking at schools and youth clubs in the UK,Hong Kong and Australia on the theme of“Live the Dream”.
Amazing Facts:
Mike started sailing when he was seven.
