One day I ran into a stranger as he passed by me. I said to sorry to 1immediately. He replied with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, 2. I wasn't watching out for you."
Later that day. When I was cooking, my 3 was too close to me. When I turned to get 4 milk, I nearly knocked her over.
"Move out of the way." I shouted.
She walked away 5. But I didn't feel like I had to say sorry to her.
While I was in bed that night. My husband said to me. While dealing with a stranger, you were6, but with the daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter 7 you some flowers she picked herself. You'll find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears 8 her eyes?
I felt quite sorry for my lovely daughter. Then I went to her bedroom to tell her that I shouldn't have 9 her. She kissed me on my cheek and said, "It's ok, mom. I love you anyway."
If we can be polite to strangers, 10 can't we do the same for the ones we love?
Riding a Mobike on the street. You might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale.
But you are not in China—You are in Manchester in Britain. You might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going global (世界性的).
Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people's tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. For example, Chinese people like to eat meat with the bone in, but Western people don't. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.
Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers.
More than half of the US-owned drones(无人机)are Chinese models. They're not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable(不可靠的). But now, things have changed greatly. "Made in China" becomes cool.
One day, an 11-year-old girl asked her dad," What are you going to get me for my 15th birthday? "The father replied, "Don't worry about that. We still have plenty of time."
But on a day after her 14th birthday, She passed out(昏倒) and was rushed to the hospital. The family learned that the girl had a serious heart disease and that she might die. At night, she asked her dad, "Daddy, have they told you that I am going to die?" The father replied, "No, you will live as long as anyone else." She wondered and asked, "How can you be sure?" He smiled to her and said," I just know it?"
After the girl turned 15, She had a heart transplant (心脏移植手术). After she came back from the hospital, she found a letter on her bed. It said, "My dearest daughter, one day you asked me what I would give you for your 15th birthday. I wasn't sure then. But now you know that my present to you is my heart." The father had given his heart to his daughter.
Parents are selfless (无私的). They even make great sacrifices to make their children grow up happily. Keep this in mind when you feel angry toward your parents. Always, they're just doing what they think best for you.
Have you ever wanted to achieve a goal and ended up doing lots of research on how to achieve it? As you learned more and more. It seemed you knew less and less. That is because when you learned a new concept(概念). You found that there was a lot more to know about it.
Usually, people think they need to get more and more information before trying a new idea. There is nothing wrong with learning a lot, but when you let learning get in the way of doing, you will never get going.
One of the best ways to learn is to take action and learn from the results that you get from those actions. Don't be afraid of not being perfect and just take the first step. You will go further than those who are still in preparation. It's good to be prepared, but over-preparation in trying to reach a goal won't get you results. The knowledge and skills that you will need will be picked up along the way.
If a baby wants to learn how to walk, it doesn't do it by just sitting there and thinking about how to walk. The best way for a baby to walk is to actually get up and start walking. Sure it may fall, but with every fall, it learns what is working and what is not and adjusts(调整)to it. By doing this over and over, it will finally learn to walk. This is the method you should use when you want to achieve your goals as well. It works.
Learning more is great but if all you're doing is learning and not taking action, it's time to change that. Just take the first step.
