This is my third story. When I was 17,I read a quote(引用) that something like,If you live each day it was your last,someday you’ll most certainly be right. Since then,for the past thirty?three years,I’ve looked the mirror every morning and asked myself:If today were the last day of my life,would I want to do what I am about to do today? And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a ,I know I need to change something.

About a year ago I was with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable,and that I should to live no longer than three to six months. They advised me to go home and get my in order,which is doctors’ practice for prepare to .Later that evening when the doctors the cells taken from my pancreas(胰腺)under a microscope,they started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is with surgery(外科手术).I had the surgery and, ,I’m fine now.

That was the closest I had been to facing death,and I hope it’s the closest I get for a few more decades. Death is the we all share. No one has escaped it. And that is it should be,because death is very likely the single invention of life. It’s life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make for the new. Your time is ,so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma(信条)—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly,have the courage to your heart and intuition(直觉).They already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened (变平的) wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation like five dots (点). During the following years, farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.

The circles are called “crop circles” because they appear in the fields of grain—usually wheat or corn. The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken; it continues to grow, and farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September.

At first, people thought that the circles were a hoax. Probably young people were making them as a joke, or farmers were making them to attract tourists. To prove that the circles were a hoax, people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found. They could not do it. They couldn’t enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldn’t flatten the grain without breaking it.

Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate(交流)with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.

Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles—the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash (坠毁). Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations: crop circles often appear in formations, like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.

On the wall in my mother’s bedroom there was a photo, which showed a soldier with a gun. Below the photo was the word “Speaking”.

“Who’s that soldier called Speaking?” I asked one day.

“He was Harold.” She said. “He was my only brother. When the Second World War began, Harold was eighteen. I was twelve then, and my sisters were ten and nine”.

“Harold liked to play with us, and we often quarreled. When we quarreled, we said:We’re not speaking to you. But before long we were all happy again, and then we said: I’m speaking now. Are you speaking to me?”

“When the war broke out, Harold joined the army. A month later, he came to see us. He brought the gun to show us. Then he went miles away to the war. We didn’t see him for three years, three long, empty years. We didn’t often hear from him. But one day in May there was a loud bang(砰)on the front door…”

“I ran to open it. It was Harold! He was an old Harold, a thinner Harold. He looked at me with his two green eyes and smiled. That smile was just the same as before, then he said one word: ‘speaking’”.

“I didn’t…I couldn’t…answer. I just fell into his arms and he dropped his gun. He stayed with us for a month. We played all our old games again. Then he went back to the war, and never came back again. So I wrote the word on the photo.”
