I never had friends at school. My parents3said that if you want to have friends, you have to be a friend. I did that, but it didn't4. I was still ignored(忽视). I didn't want it to be the same way this year. Before I knew it, it was the5day of school.
Then, the bus slowly6. The door opened, and I walked to the7of the bus. As I passed the other kids, they would8and giggle(咯咯笑).The bus trip seemed to take a long time9we reached the school.

I 12 listening to the teacher in class, but I didn't like it when the bell rang for 13.
I walked to an empty table, opened my lunch bag, and began to eat14. A girl with a friendly smile came over to my table.

“I do,” she replied.

Ever since those words have been said to me, I have lots of true friends. I will never20the day my friend gave me advice that would last a lifetime.
Flu easily spreads from one person to another. This is especially true to people who are weak. If you are weak, you are more likely to catch flu easily. Do you know how you can avoid flu?
Keep in good health
The best antidote (解药) to illness is good health. You can eat everything you want but make sure that your diet is healthy. The healthier you are, the better for you to avoid any type of illness around. Most doctors suggest plenty of fresh fruit juice and water in order that one can avoid flu.
Stay away from people with flu
If a member of the family or a friend has flu, stay away from them until they are well. Flu is very communicable and you can catch it by going with the person with flu. Wear a mask (面罩) and avoid using things that the person with flu is using.
Exercise
Exercising will make you stronger which means a stronger immune (免疫的) system too. Exercise often so that your body will keep healthy. It doesn't matter what kind of exercise.
What is important is you are making your body stronger to prevent illness from attacking you.
Be happy
Happy people are healthy people. Their life is stress-free, so they are more likely to be safe from illness. If you are unhappy, which affects your immune system, you will easily get sick.
Avoiding the flu is easy. Just boost (增强) your immune system and it will take care of the rest.
Once upon a time there were two friends who lived in a palace and worked in the service of the king. One of the two boys knew a girl he liked so much that he wanted to give her a present.
One day, when he was walking with his friend in the main palace hall, he saw a big vase filled with the most beautiful flowers. He decided to take one to give to the girl, thinking that no one would see him do so except his friend. He did the same thing the next day, and the next, and the next... until, one day, the king noticed how few flowers were left in the vase. He was so angry that he called everyone in the palace to come together in the hall.
When they were all before the king, the boy thought he should say it was he who had taken the flowers. However, his friend told him to be quiet, because the king would be terribly angry with him. The boy was filled with fear, but when the king came near, he decided to confess.
As soon as the boy said that he had done it, the king went red with anger, but on hearing what the boy had done with the flowers, a smile appeared on the king's face, and he said, “I couldn't have thought of a better use for my flowers.”
And from that day, the boy and the king became great friends. They went to the vase and took two of those wonderful flowers, one for the girl, and the other for the queen.
Whether you are young or young at heart, it is never too late to change, or take in some new and better practices into your daily life. Here are some wise lessons that I wish I knew when I was younger.
I used to be worried about what others thought of me. Finally, I changed. Remember that if you're wasting too much time looking for respect(尊重) from others, then you will not have time to finish all you desire(期望).Everyone has an opinion, but in fact others' opinions about you are based more on their history and perceptions(观念) than anything you're actually doing. So depend on your own assessment(评估) of you rather than others'.
Enjoy every moment of today. Don't wait to do or enjoy anything. Don't tell yourself you will do it tomorrow. If it is important to you, then do it today. Pay attention to what is happening now, the task at hand and all the choices you make today, big and small. Our future is set by what we decide and do today.
What happened yesterday is over. You can not change it. So let it go. Don't waste your energy considering anger or unhappiness. It only stops you from moving forward in life.
Look for the good in people. Celebrate the happy moments, big and small. Search for the chances for growth. Give helpful encouragement rather than unwanted criticism (批评). Be helpful whenever possible.
In a word, life is serious but you can still be delighted and hopeful. Otherwise, what's the point?
An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this?”
The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?”
The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It's a crow. ”
After a little while, the father again asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?”
This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, “It's a crow, a crow.”
After a moment, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?”
This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?”
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. The following words were written in it.
Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn't at all feet angry, but instead felt affection for my son.
So...
If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. Be considerate to your parents.

Yang Li, a five-year-old girl whom lives next door to me, is very clever. Because she is not old enough to go to the school, she often asks me teach her to read, write and draw. She studies hardly and soon she learns a lot. One evening last month I was doing my English homework when he came to my house. She asks me why I learned English. “You will find English a bridge to so many knowledge,” I said. She then wanted to learn English, either. She has learned a lot of English word so far and her parents are very grateful for me.
