15．Once a circle lost a piece of its own．The circle wanted to be whole，so it went around looking for its missing piece．But because it was not complete，it could only roll （滚动） very slowly．It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way．It talked with worms （蠕虫）．It found lots of different pieces，but none of them fit．So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece．Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly．The circle put the missing piece into itself．It could be whole with nothing missing．It was so happy and began to roll．As it was a perfect circle，it could roll very fast，too fast to see flowers or talk to worms．It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly．It felt so sad that it stopped，left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly．
Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something．A man who has everything is poor in some ways．He will never have hopes，dreams or something better．He will never know someone loves him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had．
We couldn't be perfect．But we must be brave enough to love，strong enough to forgive（原谅，宽恕），kind enough to share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always have a wonderful time in our lives．

Americans like to use proverbs，which have deep meanings．Here is an interesting collection of proverbs that Americans use．Some people say"Absence makes the heart grow fonder．"This means you love someone even more when he or she is far away．

7．At present，more and more people are crazy about travelling．Why do people travel？"To see more of the world，"many people would say．But travelling abroad now means much more than that for the growing number of Chinese tourists．Of course it offers us good opportunities to meet people from other countries，learn about their culture and customs．
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization （UNWTO），more than 1 billion people travelled to another country in 2012．In 2012，Chinese people travelled abroad 30percent more than in 2011．The prosperity （繁荣） of the tourism industry can also bring both our country and foreign countries great economic benefits （经济利益）．Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip．
Chinese people don't just travel for sightseeing．The China International Travel Service Company said that all their tour trips sold out a month before Christmas Day．Stores offered discounts （打折） during that time，so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travellers．
In December，China is going through a very cold winter．So many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant．
The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can travel abroad．But many of them don't have a sense of public manners．A report by Living Social website in March 2012even listed Chinese as the world's second worst tourists．
If you want to change that bad name，remember to avoid the following：littering，spitting，snatching bus seats，line-jumping，taking off shoes in public，talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas．Besides，we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries．
