When I was a boy, I used to love walking in the 1 around my house. My mom warned me several times2 to travel so far or I would lose the way. Being a naughty(淘气的)boy, however, I soon found 3 walking further and further away, testing4 I could go into the woods without getting lost. But once after losing my way for two hours, I decided to leave a mark the next time I went for a walk.
The next day I decided to try it. I walked into the woods5 the house couldn't be seen. Then I broke a small branch(树枝)to mark my place. I walked further and broke many branches. After a while I got tired and decided to return. When I turned around, I6 found my way home, but I felt7 rather than being proud. I could see the mark of destruction(破坏)that I left in the woods. I promised never to do that again. Instead, I started to value my time alone in the woods. I'd sit by the streams(小溪)and 8 their beautiful singing. I'd bend down(弯下腰)to 9 the flowers.
I've tried to leave marks of kindness and goodness since then. I've tried to show others 10 they can do the same. May you always leave marks of joy in your life.
Humans can go to the hospital when they're ill. But as for animals, what should they do？To stay healthy, animals have their own ways to heal(治愈)themselves. Now let's get to know their special skills.
Skill One
Have you ever seen your dog or cat lick(舔)its wounds？Why do they do it？It probably feels good, but it's good medicine. Licking cleans a wound, and saliva(唾液)has chemicals that kill germs(细菌).
Skill Two
To avoid diseases, many animals have good living habits. They hate to be dirty. Most animals separate their pooping(排便)areas from their eating areas. Horses poop far away from the grass they eat. Rabbits put their poop in special pooping areas.
Skill Three
Have you ever heard of the expression "starve a fever(发烧时宜饿)"？Many animals stop eating when they're ill. When a sick animal stops eating, it can stop germs from getting necessary things.
Skill Four
Another way that animals heal themselves is to raise their body temperature. High temperature can kill germs. Warm—blooded animals(like us)get fevers to fight with germs.
Cold—blooded animals(like snakes)look for pieces of wood or rocks heated by the sun.
Fish move to warmer waters.
What are the basic ingredients(要素)of good manners？A strong sense of fairness is one of them.
A friend once told me an experience that he had. When he was driving along a one—lane(单行小路), unpaved(未铺路的)mountain road, the car ahead of his produced clouds of choking dust(呛人的尘土), and it was a long way to the nearest paved main road. Suddenly, the car ahead stopped at a wider place on the road. My friend thought there must be something wrong with the car ahead. He stopped and asked if anything was wrong. "No," said the other driver. "But you've endured my dust so far. I'll endure yours the rest of the way."
Another ingredient is empathy(同情心). It makes a person see into the mind or heart of someone else. Recently I happened to read such a story in a book.
A man was having dinner alone, and he was trying to open a bottle. But he failed. Then he asked a waiter for help. The waiter took the bottle, turned his back and opened it without difficulty. Then the waiter closed it again and turned back. He pretended(假装)to make a great effort to open the bottle without success. Finally he took it into the kitchen and returned very soon. He told the man that he managed to open it, but only with a tool.
Yet another ingredient is the ability to treat people alike(一视同仁). No matter who he is and what he does, everyone is worth respecting.
In some western countries, a gap year(空档年)is regarded as a special celebration for teenagers. They think it is a necessary process for teens to develop into adults. Then what's a gap year？It's a short break from study for a year or less. It's normally between high school and university. During the gap year, the students usually take a break from their school education to travel, volunteer, study or work.
There are some reasons why students might want to take a gap year. They usually think it is a chance to get professional or personal experience. Some common reasons to take a gap year include：
★Open their eyes.
★Make international friends.
★Make some money.
★Get useful work experience and key skills.
Although teenagers can benefit from(从……获益)the gap year activities, there are many disadvantages. The parents are worried. Here are the reasons why parents disagree with the idea of taking a gap year.
★It may cost a lot of money to organize.
★They may get hurt or sick during the travels.
★They may simply find that they didn't get the experience they were hoping for.
A gap year is a new experience for not only teenagers but also people who were born in the 1960s. Maybe it's really a good chance for them to experience the retirement(退休生活)in advance(提前).
When you are waiting on a phone call with a pen in your hand or feeling bored on a train, you may probably doodle(涂鸦). Consultant Graphology(笔迹咨询师)Tracey has studied the most common doodles and their meaning in a new piece of research. Here she shares the psychology(心理学)behind those doodles.

Circles Drawing round shapes expresses the need to love and be loved. |
| Squares If you're drawing squares, then this shows a practical(脚踏实地的)nature. |
| Triangles If you're drawing triangles, his shows you are an energetic and powerful nature. |
| Flowers If your flower has a large round centre, this expresses confidence and the enjoyment of a good social life. |
| Hearts Hearts have always been symbols of love. It clearly expresses that you pay much attention to feelings, but easily get sad as well. |
| Coils(线圈) Drawing these complicated(复杂的)shapes means the doodlers have a colorful life and the ability of creativity. What unusual doodles they are! |
| Webs This kind of doodles may be unusual and complicated, but drawing webs shows special personalities that are good at leading people to a special situation. |
| Boxes It's not good news for people who draw boxes. Because Tracey believes that while this shows great dreams, it can also be a sign of materialism(物质主义). |

The stranger looked at the gardener, he didn't reply and continued to pick fruits. The gardener shouted angrily, "You have no right to take the fruits my permission(允许). Come down at once!"
The stranger answered, "Why I come down? This is the garden of God and I'm the servant(仆人)of God, so I have the right to pick these fruits. "The gardener was surprised at his and had a good idea. He told the stranger down from the tree.
When the stranger climbed down, the gardener began to beat him with a stick. The stranger shouted loudly, "Why are you beating me? You have no right to do this!"
The gardener paid attention and continued beating him. The stranger shouted, "Aren't you afraid of God?" The gardener answered, "Why should I be afraid? The stick in my hand belongs to God and I'm the servant of God. So I have the right to beat you. "The stranger was ashamed(羞愧)and said, ". Don't beat me, I'm sorry for taking the fruits.

Lu Xun was an excellent writer and thinker of modern China. He took part in the May
Fourth New Culture Movement of 1919. He could be said to have laid the foundation(基础)of modern literature(文学)in China. You couldn't believe that he almost became a doctor! So how did Lu Xun give up the study of medicine and take up writing？
When he was young, his father fell badly ill, and little Lu Xun bought medicine for him.
But the medicine bought from a quack doctor(庸医)did his father no good at all, and his father died. With a deep sadness and great anger, Lu Xun promised to study the most modern medical skills and help people through medicine. He studied hard, and was accepted to study in Sendai Medical College in Japan.
However, one event changed Lu Xun's life. One day, the teacher played a film of news in class. In the film, Japanese soldiers were preparing to kill a Chinese while some Chinese were watching it with great interest, as if it had nothing to do with them. After that, Lu Xun thought he should treat the numb(麻木的)spirits of Chinese.
For this reason, he gave up the study of medicine and moved to Tokyo. He produced a magazine with some friends there. As a writer. Lu Xun hoped that he could save Chinese people with his pen. Many of his works were translated into the leading languages, including English, Russian, German, French and Japanese.
Is your life ruled by love or by fear? Love and fear are two opposite feelings that shape our life in very different ways. Most of us are controlled by both of them. However, even a tiny change towards love and away from fear can bring more happiness. Here are some suggestions towards love.
Cultivate Gratitude(培养感恩之心)
Gratitude makes us feel happier. If you remember to be thankful for the blessings(赐福)of your life, you will feel more connected to yourself and others. When you let worries go and have gratitude instead, love appears quickly.
Test the Reality of Fear
Sometimes fear can be like a cloud that keeps out the sunlight. A simple way to deal with fear is to test its reality. Write down three things that you're afraid of. Then look at each point and ask yourself, "Is this fear really grounded(基于) in reality? "I know when I do this, I often find that fears aren't reasonable.
Take Action
Taking action is the best way to control fear. For example, if you are not feeling well, but you don't go to a doctor, you may imagine that you are having a serious health problem.
Once you've been to a doctor, talked about the problems and dealt with them one by one, your fear will become smaller and even disappear.
