Late last night，I was woken up by a sudden sound. I felt very tired and tried to sleep，but the sound didn't stop to let me1 Finally，I got up to see 2 the sound came from. I went to the backyard of my house and saw a very bright light in the sky going towards the woods nearby. I felt anxious and decided3 what it was. I4 my bicycle and followed the light. Minutes later，I was in front of5 huge spaceship.
I was amazed. When I touched it，I6 aside by a wave. I felt as if my whole body was paralyzed（瘫痪的）. I could not move my body7 I could still see. I saw a human. . . no，a monster. . .
Then，I lost consciousness（知觉）.
When I woke up，I was in a large cage. I saw8 men and women——in nearby cages. They had9 passed out or perhaps died. I examined the cage and found a small window covered10 dust. I cleared the dust and saw through it. I saw space!
I also saw the earth getting smaller and smaller as we moved away from it.
I was confused as to how I got here. Suddenly，a strange creature caught11 attention. He was half﹣human and half﹣monster. For sure，he was not a person living on the earth he was an alien!
The creature was12 each cage. Suddenly，he appeared in front of my cage. He said13 like，"Zoom zappa zew zhumu zam zeus. "I didn't understand it，but then a loud sound came. It said，New Human. We are the Grays. "It was probably the translation of the words14 the creature had just said，I guessed.
I felt frightened. "What is the alien going to do to me？"I15 wondered.
Whenever my child caused me to change my schedule，I thought to myself "We don't have time for this. "Therefore，the two words I most commonly spoke to my child were："Hurry up. "But my promise to16 was made almost three years ago，and I began my journey to grasp what17 in life.
My younger daughter is my living reminder of why I must keep trying to slow down.
The two of us had taken a bike ride to the supermarket. After buying an ice cream for my daughter，she sat down at a table18 looking at the ice cream she held in her hand. Suddenly a look of worry appeared upon her face. "Do I have to rush，Mama？"
I nearly cried. Perhaps the pains of a19 life don't ever completely disappear，I thought sadly. As my child looked up at me waiting to know whether she could take her time，I knew I had a choice. I could sit there in sorrow thinking about the number of times when I told my child to rush through life20 the fact that today I'm trying to do things differently. I chose to live in today.
"You don't have to rush，"I said21 . Her whole face immediately brightened and her shoulders relaxed. And so we sat side﹣by﹣side talking. There were even moments when we sat in22 just smiling at each other.
When she got to the last bite，she held out the ice cream for me. "I23 the last bite for you，Mama. "My daughter said proudly. I realized I just got the deal of a lifetime. I gave my child a little time.
24 ，she gave me her last bite，also reminded me that things taste sweeter and love comes25 when you stop rushing through life.
My master decided one day to visit some friends. James Howard，a stable（马厩）boy was to drive them. The first day we travelled thirty﹣two miles
Just as the sun was going down，we reached the town where we would spend the night. We stopped at a big hotel in the Market Place. We were taken to a long stable
In the evening，a young man with a pipe in his mouth came into the stable for a gossip（闲谈）.
"Towler，"said an ostler（马夫），"put some hay down into this horse's rack
"All right，" said the ostler. Later I heard him step across the floor overhead and put down the hay. Then James came in for a last look at us before he went to bed.
At night I woke up feeling very uncomfortable. The stable seemed full of smoke and I couldn't breathe.
Just then Dick Towler came in with a lantern and began to untie the horses. He seemed so frightened that he frightened us，too，and none of us would go with him
Next I heard James's voice，"Come on，Beauty，and he led me out of the stable to a safe place，then he went back for another.
I was joyful when James was coming through the smoke，leading Ginger out. Soon firemen arrived with a heavy fire engine and quickly put out the fire.
Next day，everyone was wondering how the fire had started. At last someone remembered that Dick Towler had been smoking a pipe when he came into the stable. Dick said that he had put his pipe down，but no one believed him. Pipes were never allowed in the stable at Birtwick Park.
①Firemen put out the fire quickly with a heavy fire engine.
②James led us to a hotel for the night in the Market Place
③Dick came into the stable with a pipe in his mouth.
④James saved Ginger and me out of the fire.
You might not be familiar with the name Beverly Cleary，but perhaps you have read one of her books——Ramona the Pest，Dear Mr Henshaw，too，she changed the world of children's books.
As a child, Cleary had trouble learning to read. Even after she had learned to love reading，she still found many books boring. The girl felt like the people she was reading about had little to do with her or her life. She wanted to read funny books about children like herself.
When she grew up, Cleary became a librarian. One day，some boys learned across the counter and asked her, Henry Huggins, tells the story of a boy and the stray dog that he takes in. Huggins is just an ordinary third﹣graderhit.
Cleary went on to write more books about Huggins and the other children in his neighborhood. From this neighborhood, "Ramona the Pest" became Cleary's best﹣known character. Ramona is curious and stubborn. She is always getting into trouble. Whenever Ramona gets into trouble, it's often funny
Unlike many other children's authors, Cleary liked to focus on real-life problems. In several of her books, the parents have money problems or are unhappy with their jobs. Cleary dealt with these situations with a gentle sense of humour and a deep understanding.
Cleary created over 40 books in all. More than 91 million copies of her books have been sold. The great author died at the age of 104 on March 25. Although she is no longer with us，her characters and stories will continue to be loved by many for years to come.
In the summer of 1978，an English man named Steven was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat was lying on the ground. The flattened wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.
Three years later，a farmer who lived nearby discovered almost the same circles in one of his fields. These circles were larger﹣﹣nearly 15 meters across. In the Same year，another English farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his land—one large circle between two small circles. During the following years
The circles are called "crop circles"because they usually appear in fields of wheat or corn. The wheat in the circles lies on the ground but is never broken；it keeps on growing，and the farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning
At first，people thought that some kids were making them as a joke，or that farmers were making them to attract tourists. （In fact，in 1991，two men said they made the circles themselves，but many scientists don't believe them. ），and they couldn't flatten the wheat without breaking it.
For several times，people reported seeing strange objects near the fields where crop circles later appeared. Many people believe that these crop circles are the messages sent by living things for outer space or the marks left by their spaceships.
Scientists who have studied the crop circles try to find out what causes them. In the summer of 1990，some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high﹣tech equipment（最新高科技设备）. The equipment—worth 1. 8 million dollars—got nothing. But one night，crop circles formed in the field behind them，which were quite different from the others. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything.
When Steven discovered the crop circles on his land in 1978，he said"It was just like something that had landed in the field from the air and gone back up again. I don't know what to make of these things. "
Crop circles have appeared in England，Japan，the United States and Russia. Experts from all over the
world have studied them，and they say what Steven said：we don't know what to make of these things.

Recently a video on Bilibili attracted widespread attention. About 1，000 students across China talked about what they didn't want to be in the future. Normally，people talk about the things they do want to do or be
Well，it turns out that most of the students are unsatisfied with the world as it currently is. There are lots of big problems. Some have easy Wildly Impontant Goels solutions and others don't.In other words，they get tired，worn﹣out and give up on having any dreams or hopes of being able to make the world a better place.
When I was a teenager，my parents told me I could do anything and be whatever it is that I wanted to
be. However，looking back，I really appreciated their advice，plus the excellent guidance I got from several outstanding teachers in high school and my experiences as a summer camp counselor（夏令营负责人），led me to pursue a career in education. I've been looking for more ways to encourage my students to keep their dreams alive. I have found that I have personally been able to achieve this in my current job as a Director of College Counseling.
But how can you achieve what it is that you want to do？According to one of my favourite books，The Four Disciplines of Execution，there are four steps. Focus on your"wildly important goals"（your "WIGs"），measure your progress，and finally check your progress. So what's your WIG？
|
A. This was a bit unusual. B. I always encourage them to try to help make the world a better place. C. Don't be afraid；think positively and dream big! D. I usually laughed and thought this was a bit silly and impractical. E. Most adults have become tired and bored. |
If you were in trouble，what would you do？Would you wait，ask for help or solve it by yourself？Once a floos a village. A man was trapped in the flood. The water was all around him in the front of house，but he was not very s because he always believed in God. He thought God was coming for his safety. At that moment，a big wooden board came. If he caught it，the board would help him out，but the man still kept waiting and did n . The water was deeper and deeper. The two people in another boat were worried about him and shouted to him，"Come on and go with us!"However，the poor man stayed there and kept waiting for God.
You can guess the r easily. The man died in the end. When he saw God in heaven，he complained to God，"Why didn't you save me？"God said he had tried to save him，the small board and the two men were all the things that he had sent to help him，but the man refused them. From this we can see that God helps those who help t . If you don't help yourself，God won't help you either.
In the past，people couldn't imagine in the future.
At present， technology develops in China!
Quite a few families own many smart appliances their life will become .
A new type of AI called ChatGPT to chat，translate，write essays and so on.
Though ChatGPT has many advantages，we can't it completely.
