Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such 16 that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on 17 things in life and about devoting ourselves to 18 is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He would 19 the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and 20 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at 21 street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His 22 was dirty, and a stench came out and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of 23 all over the house 24 he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon 25 that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to ___26__ the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a 27 man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said 28 ; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up 29, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans, 30 or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

Do you think of the future? Three friends and I make a poster (海报) to show our thoughts(想法) in a class meeting.
The main (主要的) of the poster is black. We hope it can make people . We draw a green at the bottom (底部) of the poster. We want to show that the Earth is so beautiful. If we don’t protect (保护) now, maybe we’ll have to find another planet (星球) to live on in the future.
The future is not all about things. We write the words “politics” (政治) and “technology” (科技) the poster. During our speech(演讲), we say in the future all the countries will work together. And our technology will develop (发展) very fast and make the world better.
We also talk a new planet to live on. We name it “nearth”. It the words “new” and “earth”. We think maybe in the future humans and aliens (外星人) will live together and even have babies. We name these babies “hulien”--“human” and “alien”.
