—Oh, no. We are back home. We __________ a really good journey.
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. In fact, she 1 nobody except her boyfriend, for he was always 2 to help her. She used to tell her boyfriend,“If I could see the 3, I would marry you.”
One day, someone donated (捐赠) a pair of 4 to her. When the bandages (绷带) came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend, for the 5time. He asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you 6 me?" The girl looked at her boyfriend and was greatly surprised to see that he was 7. She had never expected that. She would not like to be with a blind husband for the rest of her life, so she 8to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and a few days later wrote a 9 to her, saying, "My dear, take good care of your eyes. 10 they are yours. They were mine."
This is how the human brain (人脑) often works when our status (地位) changes. Only a very few remember what 11 was like before. And we often ask for more than we need. Life is a gift. Today, before you complain about the 12 of your food, think of someone who has nothing to 13. Before you complain about life, think of someone who went to heaven (天堂) too early. Before you complain about your old 14, think of the people who are living in the streets. And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of those who have no jobs. So 15 what you have and don't forget your past.

As the birds wake up the people on the farm early in the morning, one man is already up. In fact, he has never slept not once in the past 36 years.
The man has never been ill after so many years of insomnia(失眠). This has not only made him famous, but also interested many scientists to study him.
Sixty-four-year-old Thai Ngoc said he could not sleep at night after getting a fever in 1973, and since that time he has experienced more than 14，000 sleepless nights.
“I don't know whether the insomnia has impacted my health or not, but I'm still healthy and can work normally like others,” Ngocsaid.
His wife said,“My husband used to sleep well, but these years, nothing can make him get to sleep.” She said when Ngoc went to Da Nang for a medical examination, doctors said he was healthy.
Ngoc now lives on his farm at the foot of mountain, busy farming and taking care of pigs and chickens all day. “I have tried sleeping pills and some other medicine, but nothing helps, even to sleep for a few minutes,” he said.
Ngoc often does more farm work or helps his neighbors during the sleepless night.
Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts(沙漠) everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.
Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil(土壤) found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.
What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no plant food.
In fact, at the time they seemed to be ordinary events, but now everything seems different. I had spent 10 years away from the place where I was born. Even though I made the decision to leave my country by myself, I miss a lot of things now. The person that brought me the happiest memories is my best friend. She is the greatest person in the world, and I am not exaggerating(吹嘘). She is kind, funny, polite, and always willing to listen, and has been a great friend. I always recall (回想) events from our childhood. I think about the school where we met in the first grade and went on until the 5th grade. I think about the talks we had and the things we did together. If someone wants me to describe our friendship, I'd say we have been close friends for 17 years and we never got angry with each other. It's amazing, isn't it? I haven't been able to do that with anybody else. Sometimes I even feel guilty(有罪的). I miss her more than my own brothers and sisters. And of course besides those memories, my kids are number one in my life. I have plenty of beautiful memories with them, especially when they were born, which also turned out to be a sad moment for both of them, because they were premature babies(早产儿). Anyone, who has had an experience with a premature baby, can figure out what I mean.

One morning during my second month ofthe art school, our teacher gave
quiz(小测验). I was always a hard-working student and I did well in all my subjects. So it seemed a piece of cake for me. I had finished the questions successfully and easily, until I read the last one: What is the name of the womancleans the school building every day?
it was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, thinand about 50 years old,how could I know her name? It was of my business. I handed in my paper,the lastquestion empty.
Just before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count towards our quiz grades.
“Of course it will,”said the teacher. “You many people in the future. All people are important. And all jobs need to . They work hard. They deserve(值得) your attention and care, even if all that you can doto smile and say hello.”
I've never forgotten that lesson. Actually, that was the lesson in my life. I also learned that the cleaning woman's name was Ally Black.
