Look Around for Simple Joys
I was going to work on a small island. I heard the sound of the boat workers telling people to 1 and get on board. As always, I was running late and I wasn't 2 if I would get on the boat on time. 3, I was able to catch the boat and start my trip.
It was just one of those days when things were not going 4 for me. So when I got on the boat, I sat in a corner of the boat 5 my backpack next to me. I wanted to be 6 and I didn't want anyone to talk to me.
Thinking quietly to 7, I looked up at the sky. All of a sudden, I saw some 8 that looked like they were giving me a "thumbs (大拇指）up".
It looked 9 perfect that I couldn't help smiling. Seeing the 10 of the clouds made me feel relaxed and calm. It seemed to tell me that 11 was going to be all right.
Life is not 12 perfect. We might be surprised by the bad things that happen to us. Sometimes, things feel 13, while at other times, it feels like you have it all. We should learn to 14 it all in, stop for a while and appreciate what we have, 15 it's something big or something small.
Remember to smile and look up at the sky. You never know when you might see something that brightens (照亮）your day.
When I was young，
My homesickness was a small stamp(邮票),
I was here.
My mother was there.
After growing up,
My homesickness was a nanow ticket,
I was here.
My bride was there.
Later,
My homesickness was a little tomb(坟墓)，
I was outside,
My mother was inside.
And now,
My homesickness is a shallow strait(海峡),
I am here,
The mainland is there.
After a long, cold and dry winter, life and color are starting to return. Flowers are blooming, birds are singing and people are flying kites. In China, flying kites symbolizes the pursuit of good luck.
Known as the birthplace of kites, Weifang has a long history of making kites which can be traced back to 2,000 years ago. At first, they were often used by the army for secret communication. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), kites started to be popular among common people. Weifang kite-making was included in the national-level culture lists in 2006. Starting from 1984, the International Kite Festival has been held in Weifang every year.
Yang Hongwei, 56, is a Weifang kite-maker. Bom in a kite-making family, Yang often saw kites with bright colors and different shapes in her grandfather's workshop. "Every time I see these beautiful patterns of kites, my boredom go away," said Yang. "But I think the different stories behind our kites are the most special." On Yang's kites，people can see not only patterns like butterflies and swallows, but also some prints telling Chinese legends and stories.
In her spare time, she also travels all over the world to teach the foreigners how to make kites. But behind the kite-making，she hopes to spread (传播）Chinese stories seen on kites. "I'm a spreader of the traditional culture. It is also an important job of mine to tell Chinese stories around the world，" she said.
Long long ago, when the world was young，a spider got a pot (壶）by accident. In the pot was all the wisdom (智慧）of the world. The spider would like to be wiser than others, so each day he reached into the pot and learned something new.
But Spider would not share and wanted to keep all the wisdom to himself. Finally, Spider made a plan. He began to climb a tall tree. "I will hide the wisdom pot way up high，" he said. "I will be the wisest one in the world that way."
As he climbed, the birds always got in his way. And the pot kept getting stuck in the branches. What's worse, the pot was so heavy that the little spider had to take a rest from time to time. From below, Spider's son watched. He called out, "Tie the pot to your back，Father. That way，it will be easier to climb."
Spider heard his son's suggestion and thought, "My young son is wiser than I. I have the wisdom pot，yet he is wiser." Spider got very mad. and threw the pot to the ground，breaking it into many pieces. The crowd of spiders came up to the pieces like the waves of the sea. Everyone picked up a piece of wisdom.
And that is why many people know different things. But no one has all the wisdom in the world, which sparks (引发）the fire of wisdom and develops the society.
① How many times have you complained (抱怨)"There aren't enough hours in the day!"？
②Holly Gabrielle White, a vlogger who graduated (毕业）from University of Cambridge, probably disagrees. After she began school in August 2016, White started a channel on the video-sharing website YouTube. It records her daily life at school. Now she has more than 270,000 fans to her channel. In her videos, the 22-year-old gets up at 6:30 am and goes to bed at 10:30 pm every day. In between, she balances studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising. Sometimes she finds time to meet up with friends and speak to her family online.
③A similar case happened to college students in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students' plans, study notes and daily schedules. In one of thern^ an undergraduate (本科生）tightly plans his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1:00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week, the rest of his day will be fully booked. He starts his day by pre-reading his textbooks 6:40 am, and ends with a review of his studies. When he feels like it is hard to stick to his schedule, he writes encouragements to himself, like，"You're the best"，and "Go for it".
④ Both students' hard work has certainly paid off. While was at the top of her 152 other classmates; and the Chinese undergraduate won a first-class scholarship four years in a row. The two have something in common. They have regular schedules and get up early to study. They squeeze as much into the schedule as they can. More importantly, they learn a way of managing time well and efficiently.
⑤ Some may wonder how they can avoid stress. White's video Time may provide an answer. She advises to write oor tasks in a set order on a to-do list. Indeed, things must be carefully planned before wc act，then "twice as much cae be accomplished with half the effort"，as the old Chinese saying goes.

Why would people want a driverless car? One reason is convenience (便利). Drivers could relax or work of having to drive and watch traffic. Besides, robot cars could do better than human drivers in many ways. They don't get scared when a car is running them. They don't get distracted (分心的). They don't get angry when someone is traffic rules. They don't get tired after working for a long time. They don't fall . We could program cars to deal with every possible emergency，from a flat tire to bananas on the road. Car computers could also share information about traffic , so other cars can avoid them.
