I was 15 years old. I was angry. I behaved badly. I didn't1what my parents said, especially if it had nothing to do with me. Like so many2, I tried to run away from anything that didn't agree with my world; I got angry even when the word "love" was3.
One night, after a rather difficult day, I stormed into my room, shut the door4 and fell down onto my bed heavily. As I lay down in my bed, my5placed under my pillow(枕头). There was an envelope(信封).I6it out and on the envelope it said, "To read when you are alone."

Wushu is becoming more and more popular among Palestinian(巴勒斯坦的) girls in the West Bank.
Sport Plus Academy is one of those sports clubs that teach girls wushu."Until now, there have been more than 100 girls who have joined our team, and the number of trainees has been doubled in the past few months," says Bissan Jarrar, the first woman coach of wushu from Ramallah city. Four years ago, Jarrar became interested in mastering wushu. Later, the young woman managed to win local and international prizes and finally became a coach for wushu. According to the 24-year-old coach, it is new that the Palestinian girls would like to be part of this special sport. The young woman explained that for many years, only men in Palestine practiced wushu, but now the situation is different.
Batoul Abdul Wahhab, one of Jarrar's trainees, tells us that she has joined the wushu team because it is a new sport for the Palestinian girls. She wants to take part in international competitions. The 14-year-old girl says, "It has helped me change my character and become stronger. "In her opinion, wushu has succeeded in putting women and men on the same level, as it depends on minds rather than muscles (肌肉) only.
"There are more than 300 girls of different ages who are practicing wushu in the Palestinian West Bank," says Tarik Khalifa, chief of the Palestinian Federation (联盟) of Wushu Kung Fu Sports. According to him, any girl can join this sport and can be trained to become a professional player and join in Arab and international competitions. Thanks to the development of training programs organized by the federation, a number of girls have won gold, silver and bronze medals in different competitions in the past two years.
①Jarrar won local and international prizes.
②Jarrar got interested in Wushu.
③Jarrar started to teach Wushu in Palestine.
④Jarrar's trainees doubled within a few months.
①My friend Jake went on business for months, so he asked me to take care of the yard in the mountains. My friend worked hard, so he often kept the yard clean without any weed(杂草). And I was so lazy that I allowed weeds to grow secretly. In the early spring, by the stone bench appeared several clusters of buds, whose leaves were soft and green. A month later, when the leaves spread out richly, I discovered they were like wild orchids (兰花) in the forest.
②In the later summer, the grass produced flowers. They shaped like other forest orchids, but they were wax yellow, unlike those forest wild orchids, whose flowers were purple or brown red.1picked one flower, then came down the mountains to find Ted, a friend who knew plants well. As soon as Ted saw it, he immediately asked me where I picked it. "You are gonna be rich!" He excitedly explained," This is a rare orchid, which is hard to find. Now this orchid is worth at least $10,000each. "
③l told the good news to Jake. He was completely shocked. After a while, he said gently the orchid broke through the earth every year, but he thought it was just a weed, so he often pulled it out and threw it away. My friend couldn't help saying sadly, "Il have almost destroyed(摧毁) a kind of rare flower. If I could wait for it to flower with patience, it would have been discovered a few years before."
④Yes, who will never miss some rare orchids in their own lives? We always pay no attention to those wild weeds that haven't yet flowered in time and don't give them the time to flower and produce fruit to show their value.
⑤Give each grass the time to flower and give everyone a chance to show their value. Don't blindly pull out a blade of grass or think lowly of a person and how many" "rare orchids" we will get in our lives.
Educational apps(软件) are becoming more and more popular to help people learn, and they are sometimes even considered as a way to take the place of traditional education. But apps, just like textbooks and language lessons, are a medium(媒介). The way you use them will influence how successful you are. So how do you make sure you get the most out of your app, and what should you consider before deciding to use it?
Here's what you should think about:
1）Learn from different sources(来源）(not just apps)
The beauty of being good at a language is the world which it opens up to you. This is a world of different sources of information, from newspapers and books to TV, radio, music and, yes, even real people.
2）Set your purpose and plan your habits
The good apps are programmed to help you fit your studies around your timetable. These apps encourage habit building, because the successful formation of a habit make sure of your safe and regular return.
3）Remember that an app is just a tool
App developers have made educational apps interesting as game apps to keep you learning! Seldom will you have heard someone bent over a textbook say, "I'm in deep love with learning English!" So, never forget your purpose. It wasn't to complete level five; it was to shoot the breeze with the local people.
4）________________
Find a friend to be with you. Attend an evening class. Borrow a book. Buy a book. Book a week away and attend a language school. Just don't forget your phone! The combination (结合)of app, language school, evenings out, a friend and a choice book or two turns out to be really satisfying.
