My mother was a nurse and often took me along to visit the families she was caring for. Among them was a1 who had a serious disease and was always lying on the bed.
One afternoon, my mom told me that we needed to visit the woman at her home, and that we needed to be there to 2 treatment, and we would stop at a store on the way. I thought we would stop at a 3 store, where we can buy some pills, but we pulled up to a 4 . My mom headed to the make-up area and bought the most expensive bottle of perfume it5 . To my surprise, she also bought a 6 nightdress. When I asked my mom who these things were for, she said they were for her patient. My mom further explained that although this woman was older and unable to 7 her bed, she was still a lady, and she still 8 dignity (尊严) and beauty. She 9 to me that when we care for someone, we should look past the 10 or the illness and we look into the soul of the human so we can connect with them with pity and sympathy.
I 11 realized that my mother's great strengths and abilities were 12 the very young and the very old, those who can not 13 out their needs and hope for themselves, and need trustworthy and loving care providers. Under the influence of my mother, I knew in the 9th grade I would become a 14 . Today, my dream has come true. I work as a clinical psychologist, working hard and remembering what my mom taught me, and I'm not 15 that I find my work filled with patients who are very, very old.
A Chemical reactions(化学反应)make for some great experiments.You can make use of the CO2 (carbon dioxide) given of by a baking soda and lemon Juice reaction to blow up your balloon!
What you'll need:
★Balloon
★About 40 ml of water (a cup is about 250 ml so you don't need much)
★Soft drink bottle ★Juice from a lemon
★1 teaspoon of baking soda Instructions:
★Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up.
★Put the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle.
★Add the baking soda and mix it with water.
★Put the lemon juice in and quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle.
What's happening?
If all goes well, then your balloon should inflate(膨胀)! Adding the lemon juice to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction and produces CO2. The gas rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle. It doesn't, however, escape the balloon, pushing it outwards and blowing it up.
Zhi Nong was born in a small town in Yunnan Province. When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. Feeling like a caged bird in big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature.
His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot a documentary about birds.That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds.
In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying how to use it. During that time, the library became his favorite place where he first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door for him to connect with nature.
In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys which only lived in China. Usually the home of these monkeys has half a-year-long winters. It created great challenges for Zhi Nong's work, but he never drew back. "I didn't see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time," said Zhi Nong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys.
Three years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the World 4 Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
In order to call up tons of people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started "China Wildlife Photography Training Camp".
a.He won some prizes in the world. b.He joined in shooting a documentary. c.He took some pictures of monkey d.He set up a camp to train photographers.
Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of. However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact online every day. Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life.
However, many people have worried about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the amount and type of information that is shared so openly. A recent research has found that too much time on social media may have some negative effects. The researchers measured people's attitudes and feelings before and after watching social media sites. They found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.
There are a number of reasons for this. When watching social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling depressed. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. Even for those people who post positive stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried. The number of "likes" and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of "cyber bullying" (网络欺凌) where people become victims of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments about them.
The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. This research shows us that it is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives. We don't have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realize that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.
Balloons are a symbol of celebration. People love to release colorful balloons for special events, such as festivals and ceremonies. Colorful balloons may look pretty, but they can bring about some serious problems.
After balloons are released, they can end up hundreds of kilometers away from where they were released, causing great harm to the environment and wildlife. It is well known that popular helium(氦) balloons can travel up to 800 km before the helium releases and balloons fall to earth. This means they can fly almost everywhere, including waterways, oceans, mountains and farmlands.
Well, in our daily life, there are two types of balloons in general use. Most of the balloons we use are latex (乳胶) balloons. In fact, it will take them six months to four years to decompose(分解) and they can cause pollution before they do.The other one is Mylar balloons. They are a kind of plastic balloons which cannot be decomposed and can stay in the environment forever. Similar to plastic bags, the Mylar balloons break into smaller pieces in the sun. Besides the balloons themselves, the ribbons, which are used for tying balloons, are also made of plastic.
All of these materials, if littered, can add to the number of plastic waste in our environment. At the same time, it can result in the injury or death of animals. Balloons may break up into smaller pieces over time. Sea animals, such as whales, turtles and seabirds, often mistake them for food, and if eaten, those small pieces can make them hard to breathe and then cause them to die. Besides,they can also easily get themselves caught together tightly in balloon ribbons. Even worse, it has been found that some birds are collecting balloon pieces, thinking that they're food, and even feeding them to their babies.
So, don't release balloons any more so as to reduce the pollution and protect animals. Every small step we take can make the world better, healthier and cleaner.

When your best friends are upset, sad, or disappointed, all you want to do is lift their spirits. Here are some easy ways to cheer them up.
Help your friend clean their room.
Being surrounded by a mess doesn't do much for your mental state. Helping your friend tidy up their room gives you something productive to do together. Plus, when they're on their own, they can relax in a clean, peaceful space.
Encourage them to talk it out.
Talking is effective. Teenagers usually want someone to talk to when they are stressed. If they aren't interested in talking, invite them to do an activity with you and they will likely start talking.
Practice gratitude.
Thinking about and focusing on the good things in your life can do wonders for lifting your spirits. Help your friend turn their attention to those things.
Try new things together.
Staying active can help get depression (抑郁)away. Invite the person to join you in a dance class or anything else they may have mentioned before that they wanted to try out but never have. Fun time with friends is surely helpful.
Do an aimless act of kindness together.
So go out, do things, even small things (e.g. opening a door for someone, paying for someone's drink, smiling at and greeting a stranger. etc.), for others and see how your day changes.
Please give one more piece of advice on how to cheer up your friends.(15 词以内)
Two years ago, Laura Eshelman was struggling with a mental problem. What's worse, she was having trouble(find) work.
One day, she was leaving a downtown business where she had yet failed in another job application(工作申请). Feeling very disappointed, she decided to go to the Whole Foods across the street and found something her hungry stomach.
As she crossed the street, Eshelman noticed a man who (ask) for money on the corner. His messy hair and clothing made it seem like he'd been living outside for a while. She watched as he asked a passerby for change, she even didn't look at him.
As Eshelman walked closer, the man turned his attention to her and asked if he could have a little bit of money. "Leave me alone. I don't have (something)to give you. Just go away!", Eshelman shouted, almost letting off all her negative (feel). But these (kind) words were just what made her feel regretful later.
The man was embarrassed as well as a little (surprise). It was quite normal that he (refuse) by others, but not usually in such a rude way. He just lowered his head and Eshelman continued into store. After picking up some bread and a bottle of water, she went to the checkout to pay. And it was at that moment that she found her purse, where she had put all her money and important papers, was missing.
