My daughter is only two years old and, like most girls, already has a nurturing（养育） spirit growing inside of her. She tries to 1 everything that she has. She already has favorite suits, favorite toys, and even a favorite blanket.
This blanket is a pink one that was purchased for her before she was born. It seems to be the one she 2the closest. I always see her dragging that blanket around. She sits and eats with it and even jumps right out of the bath to run to it. She won't turn it 3! It gets washed many times in the course of a week yet it is almost always 4 .
Normally I just laugh at the thing but recently my daughter has had a cold. Any parent will tell you that germs can get into the things the child 5 and cause them to stay sick instead of getting better. So, unwillingly, we 6 the blanket out of my daughter's daily life. Of course, she wasn't 7. It was something that she loved, knew was hers, and had established 8with. However, since the blanket is gone, she has a better 9 of getting over her cold faster and not getting sick again.

I was born with eye disease. At school I even couldn't read the blackboard. By the time I got to university, I couldn't really see images(图像) at all. I just can tell the difference between light and dark. In the first year of my PHD, I was almost 100% blind.
When I was young I used to get very angry if I encountered something I found difficult or couldn't do because of my eyes. But over time I learned that wasn't a helpful response. There's no point getting wound up by the fact that I can't see, because it won't change it.
I started climbing when I was young. My dad took me up my first rock route(路线) when I was two. All my early climbing was outdoor traditional climbing. My dad had been in the Mountain Rescue and was part of Mountaineering Club, so we would go for weekends away climbing throughout the UK.
He taught me everything I know and I led my first route outside when I was 11. At this time I could just about see well enough to place rock gear(齿轮), but not well enough to pick out the routes from the ground. People are usually amazed when they discover that not only do I climb, but I also lead climbs.
At university I joined the Mountaineering Club and was able to climb much more frequently. We had regular trips to indoor walls and weekends away outdoors. I developed a great circle of climbing friends and went on multiple trips to Europe. On these I started Alpine climbing and ice climbing too.
There was a time when I thought I might have to give up leading as my eyesight got worse. But I never thought I would stop climbing. I just learnt to adapt myself to the eye disease with the support of my friends. It's quite possible that I wouldn't be as good a climber if I weren't blind—if I didn't have these challenges. That concentration and determination is built through my disability.
Granada is Spain's most visited city, drawing tourists from all over the world, most of whom are eager to see the famous world heritage sites. Also, some people can enjoy the wonderful music and dance festivals there. Located in Spain's most southern region, you are guaranteed lovely hot weather during the summer. However, as it is set at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, there is skiing during the winter, making it a popular destination all year round.
Centuries ago, Granada was once a city filled with hundreds of public baths. One of the few that remains undamaged dates back to(始于) the 11th century. However, Granada's most popular attraction is the Alhambra. The name Alhambra means "red castle" because of the color of the stone, which is particularly beautiful at sunset. As you walk through its narrow streets and beautiful gardens, you will be able to experience the charm of this particular region.
Within the Alhambra is the Parador (旅馆) Granada, which is one of Spain's most popular hotels. It was originally part of a palace and later turned into a convent(女修道院). It's a place where you can calm your mind. Its tranquil courtyard and lovely views are some of the reasons why so many guests enjoy their stay.
Located on the hill not far from the Alhambra is Albaicin. This used to be an Arab silk market, but today the small streets are filled with shops selling local handicrafts. From Albaicin, there is a steep walk up to a church, but it's well worth the effort. With the mountains in the background, you will be able to get a beautiful view.
Granada has its own airport with flights from London and Stansted, so flying out for a long weekend couldn't be easier. Why not discover for yourself why so many people around the world love coming to this charming city?
For centuries, people have tried to invent a perfect universal written language and Chinese has actually been considered before. Francis Bacon used to think that a language like Chinese and its writing system would have qualified. Chinese doesn't use an alphabet based on sounds, but symbols indicating meaning.
Chinese character has its special relationship between the sign and what it symbolized. Some of them also look like what they represent. For example, a mountain may look just like a mountain with a peak in the middle. And fire resembles（像） some blazing (燃烧的) logs（原木）. When you put them together and you get volcano. Isn't that amazing?
While some of them look like what they represent, most of them really don't. In fact, some of them are incredibly complicated. For instance, "Biang" is the name of a kind of noodle, which has 57 strokes (笔画). It is very hard for people to pronounce or recognize this character, let alone writing it out correctly. Chinese is so complicated that since the 1950s, a simplified system of characters has been used in the mainland of China. But Chinese characters often represent whole works, and there are a lot of them. In the Chinese dictionary there are around sixty four thousand characters.
So Chinese characters might not become a universal writing system soon. The trouble is not just inventing one, but getting people to use it. It wouldn't be easy for the whole world to agree on the same set of meanings. After all, language needs a cultural context. You cannot really just use a universal language as you like.
When you start a new job, you'll probably be introduced to a lot of new people on your first day. And it's important to make a good impression. The following are some practical tips to help you.
Show up early
This might seem easy, but many people don't do it. . To make sure you can arrive early, give yourself extra time to get ready in the morning and to travel to your destination.
It can be difficult to find the right balance between having an influence on your new role, and disturbing the balance of the delicate office ecosystem. You don't want to walk in and get into trouble, but you also don't want to fade into the background, either.
Take plenty of notes
It's a great idea to bring a small notebook and pen with you on your first day for taking down notes. Don't be shy about recording information that you know will be useful to you later, like names and passwords. You're likely to face data-overload on your first day. .
Watch your body language
You've probably read that body language is important for job interviews, but it can also be a valuable tool in creating a lasting impression when you start a new job. On your first day, be careful of conveying powerful body language. . And do your best to avoid negative body language, such as yawning, frowning, or standing with your hands in your pockets.
Step away from social media
While on your first day at the office you must have all sorts of feelings-nerves, anxiety, joy, even boredom-resist the desire to share it on social media. When it comes to updating your friends and followers about the status of your newfound employment, always be cautious and assume your bosses are watching. .
A. Almost certainly, they will in fact
B. Be positive and show interest
C. Be enthusiastic, but not overbearing(自大的)
D. Smile often and look people in the eye
E. Body language is what we should avoid
F. Arriving 5 to 10 minutes early gives you time to settle in
G. So taking notes is a great way to keep on top of things

She has taught me how to live; I've learned to slow down and see the world in different way. There are so many viewpoints and knowledge we can gain our elders. Even if some day she does pass away, I can go back to these places to feel her spirit and feel (connect) to her."

Arthur was messy. He didn't try to make messes, but he didn't try to clean up much, either. There were always small pieces of food on the table when he was done eating. His socks never made it into the hamper (洗衣篮). And he only picked up his toys when Mom threatened to throw them away. Most days, Mom followed Arthur around the house and cleaned up after him. She brushed the crumbs (碎屑) into her hand and threw them away after meals. She picked up his socks and made sure they got washed, dried and folded neatly before going back in the drawer. She often picked up his toys when he left them to do something else.
One day, Mom asked Arthur to pick up his toy trains. "Not right now," Arthur said. He was reading a comic book. The trains had been on the living room floor since the morning.
"You know what, Arthur? I'm not going to ask you again. I'm done cleaning today." And with that, mom put her feet up on the sofa and picked up a book to read.
At dinner time, Arthur noticed that there was a big pile of crumbs at his place at the table Mom's spot was nice and clean. Arthur didn't like the crumbs very much. After dinner, Arthur's feet felt cold. He went to his room and opened his drawer（抽屉）, but the drawer was empty. "Mom, where are my socks?" Arthur called.
"There weren't any socks in your hamper, so I didn't wash them," Mom said. Arthur felt unhappy. Now his feet would be cold, unless he wanted to wear dirty socks from the floor. He decided to stay barefoot.
When it was time for bed, Arthur said good night to Mom and turned to go upstairs. Arthur stepped right on his toy train in his bare feet. "Ouch!" cried Arthur. "That really hurt!"
