I was watching a TV series one night when I took in one scene. A young man was seeking his community votes, and people 36 wanted to know why they should give him their 37 . He took them to his house and on every 38 in his house was the word “Faith” pasted. People raised lots of 39 to find out why the word was pasted on his mirrors. He said, “My dad often 40 me to believe that as long as you have 41 , you should have faith. Every time you look into the mirror, you’re looking at yourself and see ‘Faith’.”
The 42 I learned from this is simple—faith is a living thing and in the same way we’re all 43 given 24 hours a day and we’re all given the same measure of faith. Faith keeps us going when things get 44 ! Why is some people’s faith stronger than that of others? Exercise! If we choose to exercise our faith, it will 45 ; but if we choose not to, it remains weak. Some people might 46 that they don’t have faith, but we all practice faith every day even if we don’t 47 it as a faith. Daily 48 , such as studying, investing or reaching for a dream, take faith.
Faith 49 hearing and doing. I made a decision yesterday—to 50 reading the newspapers full of too much sad and 51 news. Why? Because I 52 there was a drop of my mental state after reading the newspapers.
Faith, when it’s put to 53 , becomes a beautiful thing. It lifts your mental state to a higher place that 54 you to raise yourself up and declare, “Yes, I can.” So make the decision today to strengthen your faith by 55 it.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some 36it highly, believing that it is 37 for social progress and prosperity. Others say that 38is bad, that it sets one person against another; that it 39unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the 40that their self-worth relied on how well they 41 at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and –death affairs. In their single-minded 42of success, the development of many other human qualities is 43forgotten.
44 , while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take a(n) 45attitude. In a culture valuing only the winner and 46to the ordinary players, they strongly 47 competition. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or 48success. By not trying, they always have a(n) 49：“I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter 50I really didn’t try.” 51 , this belief is the same as 52of the true competitors trying to prove themselves. Both are based on the 53belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in 54 with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve（缓解） 55 a new meaning in competition.

I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now, 38I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 39 to express my own 40on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very 41experiences. There are still many things 42 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better 43youreself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life 44 . There are so many things around us that 45our will. We can’t force life 46our wishes.The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we 47 it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves 48the world. I think we should learn to accept 49life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to 50 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more 51that they slip by and leave you feeling 52. I realize that I’m not just living 53 myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or 54. It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one 55 that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.
