A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had 16 to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well 17 it, so he told him that a sports car was all he wanted. Then on the morning of his graduation（毕业）,he was called to his father’s room. His father told him how 18 he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box. 19 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his 20 to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then rushed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very 21 in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. 22 that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him 23 that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a phone telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take care of the things that his father left him. When he began to search through his father’s important papers, he saw the still new Bible, 24 as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the 25 of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”. Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.

Do your parents make you . lots of after-school activities? My parents did. I used to listen to them. But now, I decide to think for myself.
My parents made me do a lot of after-school activities: taking guitar lessons, taking English class, . tennis and doing different kinds of other things.
I didn’t like many of them. I often asked my parents to stop me.
This year, I will stop some activities. I decide to the guitar because I don’t like to play it at all. I think I can learn English by at home.So I won’t go to the English class any more
My mother doesn’t think that I get enough . But I don’t think so.I walk two miles to school every day. I think that is enough me. So I don’t want to play tennis.
One day, my mother allowed me to go to a club, but I refused.She was . and said,“The more you study, the more skills you will have, and then the more independent you will be.” Maybe she’s right, t I really don’t want to go.
Dear friends, am I right? What will you do if you meet the situation?

We are living a fast life. It seems that everything has to be fast, for example, food, fast Internet, fast roads, fast money. Every day we try to get things done , but there are some moments that we have to slow down and enjoy our lives.
We are always every day. I have to work eight hours or more a day at my full-time job. When I get home, it’s always over seven o’clock. I make an effort（努力） to something. I try to find a bit of time for my hobby—writing. I hardly ever write and work weekends. Those are my days to try to recharge （休整）and reduce the stress from my work. I sleep on the sofa during the day, some beer in the open air or go out for a picnic if the weather is nice.
What I’m trying to say is this: if you don’t take some time to slow down once in a while（偶尔） and your life, it will pass you by. You can be unhealthy both in body and mind if you don’t take the time to relax. So this weekend, don’t make any . Just get up on Saturday morning your body says it’s time to get up. Make some coffee, step outside and get fresh morning air, turn on the radio and prepare yourself for nothing.
