Nick, an Australian man, was born without arms or legs, so life was not easy for him. At school many students laughed at him because he looked different1everyone else. His classmates refused to be his friends, so he always felt2. However, he faced that. He learned to read and write at the age of six, and he could3surf(冲浪). He became very successful in college(大学) and was among the4students. And he decided on what to do later in his life—to encourage others to work hard for5dreams.

Now Nick is one of the most popular6in the world. He traveled to many countries and give speeches about his7against difficulty. "Living a life fully is to look at what you8, not. What you don't have, " he said. His story encourages many people.

“I tell people to keep on getting up9they fall and love themselves always, "he said. "If I can10just one person, then my job in this life works."

The summer is coming, and the storms are often. They happen often, but some people don't take them seriously. In fact, it's very dangerous for people and it even can make people die at once.

So how do we keep safe during a lightning storm?

If you are indoors, stay away from windows and doors during a lightning storm, Don't take a shower ordo some dishes, because lightning can travel through water. Turn off the TV and computer. Never use the phone. Lightning could travel through the phone line and hit you.

If you are outdoors during a lightning storm, never take shelter(避雨) under a tree, because the lightning could hit the tree and travel through the trees to hit you. Stay away from anything that is metal Try to get in your car and close all the windows or go into a nearby building right away. If there's no building around, try to find a low place to stay. Squat(蹲下) down near the ground and put your hands over your ears. Never use a cell phone.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves. "In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future--for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

Stephen Hawking was a British scientist. Many people think he was the greatest scientist after Albert Einstein. On March 14, 2018, Hawking died at the age of 76, in Cambridge.

As a. scientist, Hawking was most famous for studying black holes. He thought that the universe(宇宙)started with the Big Bang(大爆炸) and will end in black holes. Black holes took in everything around them even light. But he believed that black holes will disappear one day.

Hawking s studies changed how people look at the universe. He also wrote books to help more people understand the universe. A Brief History of Time(时间简史》) written In1988 is one of his most popular books.

However, people admire Hawking not only because of his talents. They also admire him because of his strong will.

Hawking had a bad illness for his whole life, starting from when he was 21. He could not walk or talk. For some time, he had no way to talk with others except by blinking(眨眼). He had to sit on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moved two fingers to control the computer. He chose his words from the screen. They were then spoken by a voice synthesizer(语音合成器). However, his illness didn't stop him from living a meaningful life. He travelled around the world. He wrote books. He even played himself on many TV shows.

Just as his children said after his death, Hawking was a great scientist and an extraordinary(卓越的) man, His works and legacy will live on forever.

I think learning how to do chores is for children. And I don't think it's enough just to get good at school, Now, children depend their parents too much. They're always asking their parents to do this or do that for them. In fact, doing chores helps to children's independence. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Children should know that should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy, they live in it together. My neighbor's son got into the good college but during his year, he could not take good care of . As a result, he often ill. The earlier kids learn to be independent the it is for their future.
