Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will affect (影响) your life in some serious way.

Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful (痛苦的) and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.

The people you meet affect your life, and the successes and failure (失败) you experience, create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, hold your head up,tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.

You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

I was on the escalator in a market. There was an old man who was about five or six people in the front of me. People behind him were all in a hurry and saw him as a rock. The old man knew these clearly and tried hard to step aside.

I remember…Sometimes when walking or driving behind an older person, I’ve gotten impatient and upset.

“I’m sorry. Please forgive me!” said the old man, “I don’t mean to hold you up.” He then tried his best to get off the escalator.

I suddenly saw this in a whole new light. I felt sick to my stomach. The old man was apologizing to everyone, when we should have helped him to calm his fears.

One by one, people went around him quickly.By the time I got to him, I asked,“Sir, can I help you?”

The man thought for a while, then said,“Well, yes, thank you!”

I placed my hand under his left arm and walked away from the rush of people quickly.

“So what are you shopping for, sir?”

“Oh, today is Mother’s Day. I want to buysomething for my neighbor. She’s a single mother and she is always so nice to me.” he said, stopping suddenly as he searched his pocket.

“Oh, it’s here! I always carry them with me,” he said. Then he took out some business cards and handed me one which read:

“John Smith.

Friend to all…enemy to no one!

I said a prayer today and you were the answer.

Thank you!”

When you are watching TV, you will notice that more and more famous stars make the ads on TV. Many people believe them because they are famous. But have you ever thought if the ads are real or not?

In the past few years, lots of stars have been on TV or newspapers as spokesmen(代言人) of some products(产品), such as Sanlu Milk and Haojixing Study Machine. People spent much money on these products, but at last, many of them were not like what the stars said. More and more people are very angry with the famous actors for making the ads after the accident of Sanlu Children Milk.

What are the public’s ideas about the famous people making ads on TV? Do you agree that the famous people should take responsibility (负责任) if the products have any problems? A research shows that about 36% think it wasn’t the famous stars’fault(过错),but they all think famous stars should give out the money they got from the ads or the charity(慈善机构).More than34%think the famous stars must take responsibility.They are dishonest and lose themselves in the public.

So we should be more careful when we buy things advertised by the stars. We must find what these things are really like instead of only listening to what the stars say.

1.Many people believe the ads because they’re made by famous people.

2.In fact, some products were not like what the stars said.

3.About 36% think famous stars should give out the money they got from the ads to the charity.
