On a busy morning at round 8:30, an old gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital. I heard him saying to a 1 that he was in a hurry for an appointment (约定) at 9:30.
The nurse had him 2 a seat in the waiting room, telling him it would be at least 40 minutes 3 the doctor would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch 4 from time to time and decided, since I was not 5 - my patient didn't show up at the right hour, I would check his wound (伤口) first. While 6 his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment.
The gentleman said 7 and told me that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his 8 . He told me that she had been there for some time and 9 had serious illness. I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit 10 . He answered that she no longer knew who he was, and she had not 11 him for five years already. I was surprised, and asked him, "And you still go every 12 , even though she doesn't know who you are?"
He smiled and said, "She doesn't know me, 13 I know who she is. " I had to hold back tears as he left.
Now I realize that in 14 , true love is acceptance of all that is. The happiest husband and wife needn't have the best of everything. They just 15 the best of everything they have. Life isn't about how to live through the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
World Ocean Day is on 8th June. It happens every year on the same date. It started in 1992. Now, more than 140 countries take part.

Did You Know. . . ? A plastic bottle can last about 450 years in the sea. |
How Can We Help?
We must put our litter in the bin or reuse it. We must never litter because it might end up in the oceans.

①Long ago, near the islands now called Hawaii, lived a young girl named Anna. She loved to swim and listen to the whales sing. The ocean could be dangerous, but Anna did not mind the challenge. During the winter months, she bravely jumped into the water. Every day, Anna would be there for hours, listening to the whale songs. She always looked wiser when she came out from the waves and walked onto the beach.

Anna said she could know each whale by his voice. She did not think it was strange to spend so much time listening to whales. Whenever a new whale joined the group, Anna would know. The newcomer would sing a different song. Gradually, over several winters, the others would start singing the new whale's song. The reason why Anna was interested in whales is their respect (尊重) and kindness to each other.

When the villagers reached her, Anna spoke softly. "The voice of my very first whale friend has been away for days. It is time for me to go now, too. Do not be sad. Remember the whales' lessons: Learn from others. Always accept newcomers. " With those words, Anna died.

a. Anna's first whale friend died.
b. The villagers found her on the beach.
c. Anna didn't come back to the village
d. Anna shared the whale's lessons with the villagers.

What is a teacher? Well, for a long time, I think a teacher is just someone who teaches. But it was not until I met my music teacher that I realized my understanding was too simple
When I (one) arrived at my music class at school, I had almost no knowledge of how (play) the flute. I couldn't get the basic notes (音符) right. It seemed like a dream for me to give a show in front of the school. , my music teacher, Mr. Nevola, guided me to work towards my dreams.
He spent a lot of time in finding the right flute book for me and spent more time (teach) me. When I was unable to remember the notes, taught me the skill: FACE . F-"fa"; A -"la"; C -"do"; E -"mi". This way I can remember the notes much (quickly) than before.
He also tried to make music class fun. We played games that helped develop our sense of rhythm (节感) and shared some favorite music (piece) on certain days. We talked about the music background from all over the world and learned the development of music in the US.
Thanks to Mr. Nevola, I (true) fell in love with the flute. After six months, I was able to blow seven notes in one breath. While this might not seem like huge success, I am still proud of it and thankful to Mr. Nevola who helped me make it happen.
