Life is a process. It is said that it doesn't come the same again; it is glad that the same doesn't have to come back again.
In this life, what did you miss?
The wife asked the husband when she was 25. Worried, the husband replied," I missed a new job opportunity."
When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus.
At 45, the husband sadly said," I missed the opportunity seeing my close relative before his last breath."
At 55, the husband said disappointedly," I missed a good chance to retire."
At 65, the husband hurriedly replied," I missed an appointment with the dentist."
At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore, the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied," In this life, I did not miss having you!"
The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work and something unimportant. So much had he never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly and said," Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me."
In the busy city life, there are many people who are always busy with work. These people are busy with their jobs, and sacrifice all their time and health to meet the social expectations. They are unwilling to spend time on health care. They miss the opportunity to be with their children in their growing up. They neglect the loved ones who care for them, and also their health.
Nobody knows what is going to happen one year from now. Life is not permanent, so always live in the now.
It's often said of British people that they are very aware of each other's social rank. Britons can usually work out a fellow countryman's background from the way they speak or dress, and may even treat them differently based on this. But although this may have been truer in the past than it is today, visitors to Britain say that they still notice it. The comic play Pygmalion by the Irish man George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), is a famous exploration of the importance of social rank in British society.
The main story of the play concerns a working class girl, Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller from London. Two upper class gentlemen try to see if they can get Doolittle to appear like an upper class lady after sending her for elocution lessons. Professor Henry Higgins, a language expert, says it can be done; his friend Colonel Pickering says that it's impossible. Even so, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to" speak properly".
Of course Eliza isn't a lump of clay; she has her own will. She can see that it's in her best interest to go along with Higgin's plan to" improve herself". She wants to be able to sell flowers in a shop rather than on the street. Still, Eliza's willfulness means that it's a bumpy（坎坷的）ride for everyone.
At the beginning of fourth act, the characters are at home after a ball（舞会）, at which Eliza proved that a flower girl can pass herself off as a lady after all. She was a triumph at the ball, and Higgins has won his bet.
But what happens next? Eliza has her future to worry about. She may be able to fool the upper class into thinking she's one of them, but she isn't really one of them.
Shaw seems to be telling us that social rank is about more than the way someone talks—it's about wealth and privilege. The whole experiment proves the idea that accents and classes are very superficial. The way one speaks and dresses are only markers of class. The class system itself, however, is something completely different.
There have been many problems with our schools today, the biggest of which is closely related to our culture. In general, our culture, as represented in the media, gets excited by famous stars, and constantly stresses that it's what you have, not what you are, that counts. Parents are encouraged to be away from even very small children for most of the day. Too many voters go for politicians who would rather cut school funding (基金) than to get rid of tax cuts for the wealthy. All contribute greatly to the problems of educating our children.
Today's teachers have to deal with a culture that is vastly different than in the past. They report that there is, among more children than ever, a lack of motivation, no drive to succeed or even try. The role models that boys view in the media mostly consist of men in comedies and other shows who are rude and often extremely immature; self-centered overpaid athletes; men in movies, television dramas, video games, etc. who are preoccupied with violence and power. As Leonard Sax wrote in" Boys Adrift"," Teenage boys are looking for models of mature adulthood, but we no longer make any collective effort to provide such models." Girls are attacked not only with such annoying images (形象) of males, but also with women who are preoccupied with appearance and are extremely materialistic.
In such a cultural environment, it is more important than ever to have responsible, loving and caring parents who have enough time and motivation to devote to their children and see to it as their duty to model for them and raise them with high standards of honesty and responsibility along with tending to their physical needs. They need to care enough to see that their children are not attacked with the garbage that comes from movie, television and computer screens. In today's culture, they are basically alone in this effort since, unfortunately, so much is working against them.
Until we, as a culture, face the truth about ourselves — that we are not providing adequately for a great many of our children — the storm will continue to rage (肆虐) over our education system.
It's a dream come true for many fans to get a close view of their favorite stars and take pictures with them. However, sometimes their enthusiasm can cause troubles for others.
At Hong Kong International Airport on Dec 15, three young Chinese people boarded a Korean Aircraft.
The three people – two from the Chinese mainland and one from Hong Kong – were fans of Wanna One, a Korean pop band, who were on the same flight. However, immediately after taking pictures with their idols (偶像), the fans asked to get a repayment and got off the plane. They had to go through security checks again, which delayed the flight by over an hour.
According to the flight regulations, all passengers need to get off and go through security checks once again even if only one passenger gets off the plane before takeoff.
Cases of crazy fans buying flight tickets just to follow and get a close view of their idols are common nowadays, reported CGTN. A series of rules were issued in July in order to stop crazy fans from disturbing public security at the airport.
"However, it shouldn't go too far and hurt the public interest. To obey public rules is the best way to follow idols," commented People's Daily.
A. To make up for the loss, a sizable amount of money went to 357 passengers.
B. As a result, all the remaining 360 passengers had to get off the plane.
C. This is in case any dangerous things have been left on the flight.
D. It's not unusual for fans and stars to share the same flight.
E. Some fans will do anything they can to realize the dream.
F. It was to fly from Hong Kong to the capital Seoul.
G. There's nothing wrong with going after idols.
During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California. I went to live there in order to be1him. I hated the place. I had never2been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty, and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was3-almost 125°F even in the shade of a cactus(仙人掌). 4a soul to talk to. The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the very air I breathed, were5 with sand, sand, sand!
I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was 6 and coming back home. I said I couldn't stand it one minute longer. I7 be in prison! My father answered my 8with just two lines-two lines that will always sing in my9- two lines that completely changed my life:
Two men looked out from prison bars,
One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.
I read those two lines10. I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present 11; I would look for the stars.
I made friends with the natives, and their12amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had13to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus. I watched for the desert sunsets, and14for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the desert had been an ocean15
What brought about this16 change in me? The desert hadn't changed, 17 I had. I had changed my18 And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing19of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered. I had looked out of my self-created prison and20 the stars.

I always have a dream to be a fluency speaker. Therefore, I am too shy to say a word in public. What is beyond my wildest imagination is fortune should bless me with a chance to realize my dream. One day, my English teacher asked me to go to her office and told us that I was given an opportunity to participate in an English speaking competition. Hear this, I could hardly hide my excitement. When making preparation for the competition, I write my speech carefully. I discussed it with my teacher and got many advice on how to improve it after I finished the composition. Under the help of my English teacher, I made a great progress.
