We are warned by our teachers not to waste time because time1will never return. I think it quite2. What does time look3? Nobody knows, and we can't see it or touch it and no4of money can buy it. Time is abstract, so we have to5about it.
Time passes very quickly. Some students say they don't have6time to review their lessons. It is7they don't know how to make use of their time. They waste it in going to theatres or playing, and8other useless things. Why do we study every day? Why do we work? Why do most people9take buses instead of walking? The answer is very10. We wish to save time because time is11.
Today we are living in the 21st century. We12time as life. When a person dies, his life ends. Since life is short, we must13our time and energy to our study so that we14be able to work and live well in the future. Laziness is the15of time, for it not only bring us16, but also does other17to us. If it is necessary for us to do our work today,18 we do it today and not19it until tomorrow. Remember that time is much more20.
It was 1504 Columbus was making another trip to the New World. Columbus and his men needed fresh water and food after three months at sea. They saw an island. On the island there were unfriendly Indians who did not give them food. Columbus and his men were afraid of the Indians, but he had a clever idea. He used the body language to tell the Indians about his mysterious (神秘的) power to turn off the light in the sky. He knew about a lunar eclipse (月蚀) the next night because the information was in his almanac (天文历书). Columbus told the Indians, "Tomorrow night I will turn off the light of the moon in the sky. "But they did not believe him. When the eclipse (月蚀) began the next night, the Indians became very frightened. The Indians begged Columbus to turn on the light again, and they quickly gave him all the food and fresh water he wanted. Immediately Columbus and his men hurried back to the ship and sailed away in the moonless night.
It was a cold rainy day and it was the day before Thanksgiving — the first one that my three children and I would be spending without their father, who passed away a year ago. Now the two children were ill with the flu. I hurried around, trying to look after each child. I found the children had no fruits. But what almost broke me down was that I only had $2.50 left –and this should last until the end of the month.
That is when I heard the phone ring. It was the secretary from our former church, and she told me that they had been thinking about us and had something to give us. I went to the church before lunch. The secretary met me and handed me two currency notes (现金券), each worth$20. I was so moved that I cried.
Then I drove to a supermarket for the children. The things cost me a little over $14.00, and I handed the note to the cashier (收银员). She took it and looked at it for a long time. I thought something might be wrong and told her that I was a single mother and how I got it. With tears in her eyes, the cashier said that she had prayed (祈祷) that morning to help others who were in need, and I gave her the chance. She added a turkey to my basket, and took out two $20 bills and paid for my things. Once again I was moved to tears.
Hello,
You know I felt very sad yesterday. As you know, I got up at 5:00 in the morning and went to meet my aunt at the bus station. I waited there for hours and I nearly lost my patience. Then I took her to the hospital and then went to the gas station. I queued up (排队) for move than one hour under the hot sun before my turn.
When I finally went back home at 1:30 p.m. to have my lunch, I found nothing was left to eat. Everything had been taken to the hospital. I was dying to hunger.
So, to share my bad feelings with you, I sent the first e-mail to you. Fortunately, you replied to me. After that I went out to have some coffee. When I decided to go home, I found my car tyre (轮胎) was flat (瘪了). I was blue, Mary.
After dinner, I took a bath and washed my hair before going to bed. Unfortunately the lights were cut off and I could not dry my hair. I fell asleep with wet hair. When I got up this morning, I found I caught a cold. My voice sounds bad now.
I never hoped my holidays to be like this. Now, it feels good to talk to you about my blue feelings. You can also share your sadness and happiness with me because I am a good listener.
Yours,
Mike
Do you know how to play a game called "Musical Chairs?" It is easy to play and most people like it. All that you need are some chairs, some people and some musical. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a recorder. You can use a radio as well.
Put the chairs in a row back to back. The chairs should be in twos. The game is easy. When the musical starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out (淘汰). Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two people and a chair. The one who sits on the chair is the winner when the music stops.
If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.
Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day.
Your metabolism(新陈代谢) gets a head start. If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie(卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.
Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.
If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.
There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings. Set your alarm clock an hour early and push yourself to work out! You will feel energized all day long.
A. You will stick to your diet.
B. Your quality of sleep improves.
