    My husband died and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was 1down a busy street, I suddenly noticed a beautiful new fence (栅栏)around a house. The 2 still smelled of fresh paint.

    “Hello!” I came up and said to a 3 in the back garden, “I came to see the fence, it's so beautiful! ”

    “Oh! The fence is not there for me,” the lady explained to me in a calm voice, ”I live alone.

    4 so many people pass by every day, I think they maybe pleased to see something really wonderful.  5 stop like you and come up to have a chat.”

    “But weren't you 6when they expanded (拓宽)the road and everything changed so much?”“Change is part of life and takes part in making us who we are. When something we do not like happens to us, we have7choices to become a bitter (痛苦的)person or to become a better person.”

    Her reply changed my life, I carefully left the gate open and drove on 8a new feeling inside me. I could not tell9it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my 10 heart breaking off.

    Two years ago, my family moved to a new city and I had to study in a new school. As I had few friends there, I felt lonely. Then I met Tony. The first time I saw him, he was standing in the center of a group of students, telling jokes. The children around laughed from time to time. Tony knew about my problem. He asked me to play basketball with his friends and helped me with my studies. We soon became good friends.

    About a year ago, however, Tony's father was killed in an accident. As a result, his family had to move to a small house. Tony changed into a different person. He became silent and he even lost his interest in studies. Several times, I invited him to go out and play basketball with me, but he refused. I wanted to help him, but didn't know what to do.

    Then something strange happened in my class. Two classmates lost the money in their schoolbags.

    Last Friday, just before the P. E. lesson, I went back to the classroom to get my running shoes I would use. The door was half open. I went in. To my astonishment, I saw Tony was searching one of my classmates' schoolbags. I was shocked…

    Six years ago, Ann graduated(毕业)from college with a degree in Art. Now she is twenty-nine and works for a large computer company. She takes classes twice after work. She is learning to use the computer program Power Point. “I enjoy the college, but my job doesn't use the information I learned at college, ” Ann says. “The course(课程)is helping me to do my job better.”

    In the past, when students graduated from college and got a job, they usually stopped studying. Today lifelong learning is becoming more common. In many countries, some people return to school in their late twenties, or even older to get a higher degree. More people are taking training courses to improve their working skills after work. People can also get degrees or training through the Internet. Ann's sixty-year-old mother and father are taking courses in Art and Music. “We love these two subjects. Learning is so much fun,” they say happily. “It's never too old to learn.”

    Moving out, moving back

    In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside in large numbers to find jobs in the cities. They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city and often there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in cities than they are in the country. .

    But in the big cities of Europe and America-London. Pairs, New York, people are moving out of the city. These are usually families who have some money, and want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses.  They want a house with a garden, and clean air that isn't polluted.

    So they move out. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. .

There are sheep and cows and green fields! There, they start a new life and try to make new friends.

     After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much to do. The people there are very different and aren't always very friendly. ..

    "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights, "they say, "I'm so glad I'm back in the city!"

    People may have different dreams as they grow older. What do you want to be when you grow up? Everyone needs to answer this question.

    When I was a little girl, my parents always asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I used to tell them a general, doctor or guard. But now I am a 18-year-old boy, and I really know what I want to be. I want to be a fashion designer.

    What made me want to be a fashion designer? It was the fashion shows on TV because they are fascinating. The tall, thin models wear beautiful clothes and walk beautifully on the stage. So I decided to be a designer and design beautiful clothes for people and make them look even better.

    Fashion magazines are my favorite books. They are quite expensive, but my parents say they will pay for them if I am really interested in reading them. They want me to learn as much as possible.

    For me, I will try my best to make my dream come true. I believe that one day my parents will take pride in what I can do.

Information Card

    I was a schoolgirl in Grade 7 when Danny came to my school and became one of my classmates. He was handsome with blond hair, so many girls in my class liked him very much. Every day, his parents picked him up in an old car. We all realized he was from a poor family. I had a poor family as well, but I just hid it from everyone. I was afraid the kids in my class would leave me if they knew the truth.

    One day, our teacher, Mr. Sims, announced that we would have a field trip. We decided to go to an amusement park. My classmates were excited. I sat back and looked at them, knowing that my parents did not have the money to send me. To my surprise, Danny stood up and said simply, "I won't go with you. My dad hurt his back and lost his job. I am not asking my parents for money."

    "Danny, I'm very proud of you for understanding the situation that your parents are in," Mr. Sims replied. "But the trip is at the end of the month, so we have plenty of time to raise money for it." While walking home from school that day, I noticed three boys talking with Danny. I was a little worried that they were giving him a hard time. But as I got closer, I found they were discussing how to raise money for the trip.

    By standing up and admitting(承认)he was poor, Danny changed my life. I no longer felt I had to lie about my family's situation. As for Danny, I will remember his courage and honesty forever.
