During my last year of junior high school. our teacher, Mrs. Green, gave us a test. I was a(n) 1 student and I did well in all subjects. I finished the question successfully 2 I read the last one: What is the 3 name of the woman who cleans the school?
Of course, I thought that must have been a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day.She was short and about 50 years old. She had dark hair. But how could I know her name? I had 4 9 talked with her before. In fact, I'd never even 5 talking to her. I looked at my paper and started to feel rather shameful. It's 6 for me to know the answer. Finally,I handed in my paper, leaving the last one unanswered.
Before the test ended, one student asked 7 the last question would be counted in our grades.
"Of course,"the teacher said. "In your life, you will meet many people. They are all important. They deserves(值得) your 8 and care, even if all you do is to smile and say hello."

Then, how can we make a study plan? Well, begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure you need to do for each subject. Next, decide how much time you should spend different subjects. Now, it is a good idea to study at the same time every day. In this way, you actually have a plan you can remember (easy).
Once the plan (make), the next thing you need to do is to follow it. One of the (big) challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted(诱惑) to avoid it and do something relaxing or fun instead. Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks because it can affect your plan. So at the start of your break, set alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you need to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some music.
To avoid (forget) to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are hard to follow so me important people in our lives distract(使分心) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people around you about your plan..
The loveliest house that I'd ever lived in was the one that I lived in with my grandparents when I was a child. And the name of the house was Crosslands.
It seemed so huge to me as a child. It had a lovely living room with a piano in it. And there was a strange room. It was the drawing room. 我们只在周末时使用它. I used to be amazed about this room because it had the best furniture in it but it was covered with sheets—it was as if all the furniture was wearing clothes——and it seemed to me crazy that we couldn't enjoy this beautiful furniture all the week through really.
Now, I went back to it a few years ago and it was a big mistake. They've modernized(现代化) it inside, and they've taken away that lovely furniture. And they've knocked a wall down so the drawing room and the living room have become one big room.
But I think what troubled me most about it was the feeling that the house seemed to be smaller and that my memory of this lovely large warm comfortable house had turned into an old house with modernized rooms inside it. And it taught me a lesson really that you can't go back to the past and catch it. But there's a beautiful memory there.
