When I was young, I liked to play jokes on people I knew, especially on my parents and friends. One day my mother was and I was playing with my younger brother Tony.
Suddenly I ran to my mother and said, “Tony fell from the open window!” She was very and ran out of the kitchen. Then I said, “Don’t worry, I’m just .” And my mother shouted at me, “If you do it , I’ll hit you.”
One day I went swimming with my in the sea. I wanted to play a joke on them. In the beginning, I went swimming , and I called out, “Help!” All my friends came to help me, only to find that I was joking. But the next time I wasn’t joking. I was so that I swam in deep water. I tried my test to call my friends for help, but this time came to help me.
they found I was telling the truth. They came and saved my life. They took me to the hospital. This is the best in my life. From then on, I haven’t joked on anyone.

I have always wanted to share this story because it is one of the things that I will remember for my whole life. And I’m sure the other person feels the same.
We had a new teacher in my middle school World History class. She was very nice and excited to see us. She told a story about her fighting in a war and brought a picture of him. After about fifteen of her talking, the class started talking softly to each otherthey were getting bored. Looking , she asked “So, you guys don’t really want to hear any more?” No one dared to say “no” to her loud one kid. He said, “No, not really!” a disrespectful(无礼的) way. Some kids were a little and thought that it was rather rude.
I felt really bad for this teacher. No one should bein such a disrespectful manner. Therefore, near the end of the class I went up and said to her for the guy’s rude behavior. I told her I had been listening, and even though I may not really like , I was grateful to her for sharing her story. I asked her about her father and asked to see the picture of him. We had a very nice, sincere conversation about her father.
The teacher was touched. She thanked me for coming up and actually treating her with the respect(尊敬) that she deserved. I felt at full peace with knowing that I did the right thing and I was super happy that I made her day. Even though I didn’t really care for history, I listened, and I hope that others in different situations will do the same. Listening means a lot to the people sharing; it really . If I had just left the class without saying a word, I would have felt very and would have a constant reminder, probably to this day, that justice(公义) was not served and I had left a person in their time of need.

Oil is so important that it is sometimes called “black gold”. Almost half our energy from oil. We use it to run our cars and factories and to our homes, offices and schools. Many everyday things are made from oil. Your shirt may have oil in the material. The soap you your hands with might also be made from oil. Children’s plastic toys are made from oil.
Oil is to find, because it is deep under the earth. Today, however, we have many to find oil. One tool measures (测量) the pull of gravity (重力). Places where gravity is weaker are more likely to have oil. tool measures sound waves. Sound waves travel different kinds of rocks at different speeds. We can use to find the rocks that have oil in them.
We need oil, and we are using up the oil wells we know about. we must find new ways of looking for this “black gold”. Can you do anything for it?

Once in a small village faraway, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.
A happy little dog learned about this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced (蹦跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway h his lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great , he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was with 1000 great smiles. As he left the House, he thought to himself, “This is a very place. I will come back and visit it .”
In the same village, another little dog, who was not quite as as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly-looking dogs staring back at him , he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a horrible place, and It will never go back again.”

When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner.
I still remember one night my mum put some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve forgotten what I told him that night. I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He as usual, every single bit.
After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”
, I went to kiss Dad good night.I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really tired. And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”
Now I know life is not perfect. is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and child or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy .
So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember, bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.
