Sometimes, I wonder whether there was any love between my parents. They were busy trying to1their new business. They didn't act romantically. They didn't 2their feelings. They just got used to the company of each other, and I3it as kinship (亲情), not love.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I sat down beside her and asked, "Is there any4between you and Dad？" She didn't answer at once.
I thought I had hurt her. At last, my mother said, "Susan, look at this thread (线). Sometimes it5 ， but most of it disappears in the quilt. It makes the quilt6and durable (耐用的). If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can7 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there."
I listened carefully but I didn't understand her until the next spring. My father suddenly got seriously8and he had to stay in hospital for at least one month. My mother took really good care of him without any9.
After they returned home, my mother helped my father walk slowly down the country road every day for rehabilitation training (康复训练). They two, hand in hand, supported each other. Once, I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But the10is that love is just a thread that holds a family together.

In the first semester (学期)of college, Professor Kelly lectured us in his Acting I class about the importance of taking the business of acting seriously. As I prepare to take on my senior year, I think back on the first semester and I consider my seriousness and my love, for the art of theatre. I'm pleased to say that, for the most part, my determination remains as strong as ever.
Even after I've learned about the difficulties and heartbreak that go with pursuing (追求) work as an actor, I know that it is still the right path for me. Something Professor Kelly said in that first acting class has stuck with me through these last three years. He said, "Every actor chooses to act for their own reasons — personally I do it because I have to. I have to perform. It's who I am." For as long as I've been performing，I've wondered how to best describe why I do what I do. Professor Kelly answered that question for me that day.
When I was little and first imagined what it would be like to be a real actor, I would imagine being famous someday. However, I never actually wanted that. Fame was never my reason for putting my heart into my work. I did it because I was myself.
There was never a question of what I wanted to do with my life. If I didn't pursue acting, I had no idea what I would do. I was lucky that my family understood me. They knew from the start that nothing was going to keep me from doing what I loved.
Eating healthily is an increasingly popular goal, but lunch is a meal that is sometimes difficult to prepare and is often skipped (略过). Packing lunches for work or school is sometimes done with less attention than other meals. To form healthy eating habits and plan healthy lunch ahead of time, you can consider these healthy lunch ideas.
Packing lunch for work or school depends largely on equipment(设备) for the kitchen. Workers can enjoy the convenience of a refrigerator and a microwave at their office, but children in school can't. Many kids prefer eating French fries, hamburgers and so on instead of vegetables and fruit. They won't always eat lunch prepared in their school canteen either. It's important for parents to provide foods according to a standard diet.
Packers who have refrigerators and microwaves can have various healthy lunch ideas. Yogurt and cheese are good choices for dairy diet and require no preparation. Besides, a salad with vegetables prepared ahead of time or cooked chicken or eggs is another healthy lunch idea. If you prefer hot lunch, try lowcalorie food. Those who are also concerned about calorie intake (摄入量) can drink water with their lunch to increase their feeling of fullness without adding calories.
If you are able to have lunch at home, you can prepare any healthy lunch, such as vegetables, rice or noodles.
Even though lunch needs to be quick, skipping lunch or stopping at a convenience store is not a healthy choice. Healthy lunch doesn't have to be given up because of the time limit if you plan ahead and consider it as important as other meals. There are other advantages of planning and carrying out healthy lunch, for example, having more energy throughout the day, becoming more productive and saving money on eating out.

Here are some ways to improve one's leadership at work.
Learn from leaders that you admire. You can get encouragement from any leader that has left a great impression on you with the leadership.Choose the good qualities that you want to study, such as keeping their words, trusting others and courage.
As a leader, it is important to teach others what you know to help them grow in their jobs. If you spend time teaching others, you can enable them to have valuable skills and knowledge.
Build good teams. Many people want to work in or be part of a successful team.When you build it, you have to know the advantages and disadvantages of members, and other things.
Be a good listener. Good listening skills are important to a leader. With so much information distracting (分散) our attention today，it is easy to ignore(忽略) listening skills.Listening carefully can help people feel understood, appreciated and respected.
Praise others truly. Sometimes leaders forget the power and importance of praising team members，yet this simple behavior is encouraging.
A. Get out. Some experts say that we usually feel bored or sad because we get less sunlight in winter than we do in other seasons. Getting more sunlight each day can help you feel better.
B. To keep healthy, you can do some exercise. If you don't like doing sports outside, you can do some sports at home. The best way is that you had better receive the flu vaccine (流感疫苗).
C. Eat healthily. Avoid eating too much. If you get hungry easily, you can have more small meals rather than a larger one, and you can eat more fruit and vegetables.
D. Let your stress go. Cut back if you have too many things to do. Make sure you have some quiet time to yourself. Don't be so busy, or you may do anything wrong.
E. Get enough sleep. If you don't have enough sleep, you will not think clearly. So from now on, you need to have a good sleeping habit and go to bed earlier.
F. Relax yourself. The more excited or nervous you are before you sleep, the more bad dreams you will have. Do something relaxing to make sure your brain is peaceful, such as reading and listening to music.
I always feel stressed in winter. I have so many things to do but the evening arrives quickly. I'm always worried I can't finish the work every day. —Linda
It's strange that in winter people often get hungry easily. I often eat more and put on weight in winter. The colder it is, the hungrier I feel.—John
The flu is usually serious in winter. Many people around me have flu. I'm so afraid of catching flu. Sometimes I never get in touch with anyone that has flu.—Li Hua
In winter, I always feel sad for no reason. I don't have interest in doing anything when it is grey. How could I change the bad feeling？—Sam
I have trouble sleeping in winter. I often have many dreams. Sometimes there are several bad dreams at one night. I even fear to sleep at night.— Lily
There are several different kinds of sea turtles in the world. The sea turtles are endangered. Several are in danger of being gone (complete).
Sea turtles lay large groups of eggs under the sand on beaches. The eggs face many challenges, both natural and manmade. In Costa Rica, one big challenge is poachers(偷猎者) — they take the eggs in order to sell (they). It is against the law.
Kim Williams Guillen is scientist. She works for the University of Michigan and Paso Pacifico. She works (protect) animals in Costa Rica.
After (watch) some TV shows, Kim Williams Guillen suddenly had an idea — what if poachers could be followed by using a fake (假的)turtle egg
a GPS tracker (跟踪器) inside?
Dr. Williams Guillen showed that idea and it won a $10，000 prize. She then worked with other scientists to create the fake egg. It was made of a special material，just like a pingpong ball. It only cost a little money,they made a lot of fake eggs.
The scientists put some fake eggs into 101 (difference) turtle nests on four beaches in Costa Rica. The results showed that most eggs (sell) to local people.
That wasn't a big (surprised), since in Costa Rica, turtle eggs are considered a special kind of food.
The scientists are excited about the results of the fake eggs. The test shows that such simple ways can work well. The scientists believe that similar ideas could be helpful in other places as well.
