I work for a major airline. One afternoon while running through LAX to my plane, I tore (撕破) one of my nylon socks. , there was a convenience store close to my gate. I knew I could buy a new pair. However, as I waited in line, I that I had no money in my purse. I thought to myself that maybe the store manager would sell me a pair and let me pay her back the next time. I have been inside her store a lot, even though we have never been . When it was my to pay, I showed her my socks and explained that I had no money on me. She laughed and said, “Take them.”
Well, for whatever reason, two months passed, and I had not paid the money back.
Then one day while I was busy doing my usual preflight preparations, a passenger asked me if I would him a newspaper.
I went off the airplane and walked to the same convenience store. I was too embarrassed (尴尬的) to go inside because I had never paid the money back, and I wasn’t carrying my . Then a man with a friendly face came near. he could walk past me, I stopped him and asked him for help. He smiled and said that he would do so gladly but wanted to know why I couldn’t do it . He was rather outgoing and kept saying, “Come on, and tell me.” I needed a newspaper, so I and told him.
Suddenly he said, “Hold on.” and then took me into his arms quickly and carried me into the store. With his free hand he reached into his pocket and out a five-dollar bill and said to the manager, “I’d like to pay for the socks this person owes you for and for a newspaper.”
I later learned that this big, gentle man was Rosie Grier, the former L.A. Rams and Hall of Fame football player.

Ellen Sims is an 18-year-old college student. She has an important history exam tomorrow morning. Ellen is going to study all night. She is not going to at all. Many college students, like Ellen, do this often. They think that in the morning, they will everything that they studied the night before. Ellen thinks that this is a good way to study, but many doctors . They say that sleep is very important for memory and brain development.
Scientists at Harvard Medical School in the USA studied sleep and memory. They studied 24 people. First, they asked the people to look at a picture and it. At night, they put the people in groups of 12. Group One went to sleep. Group Two did not. A few days later, scientists showed some to both groups. They asked the people to find the picture they before. The people in Group Two did not do so as those in Group One. It wasn’t for them to remember the picture. What happened? Scientists say that sleep our memory. After we learn something new, sleep helps us remember it. And when we don’t sleep, we can new things.
Scientists say that many teenagers, like Ellen, sleep too They go to school and work, too. They also time with their friends. They’re always and they think sleep isn’t important. But scientists say the brains of teenagers are still , and sleeping is a very important part of the development. When teens sleep less than six hours, they can’t think clearly. That is not very helpful for a student who is taking an exam.

The most positive(乐观的) person I have ever seen is may dad! He is so positive that I do not hearing a single word from him which is related(相关的) to hopelessness!
Unlike most mums and dads, my dad never says things that make me feel . He is always there to give me encouragement and help. I do wrong things, he always tells me what’s right in a positive way. For example, if I am in , he often tells me to open the books he bought me. Then he asks me to read the that can help me with the problems I’m facing. After that, we have a together.
Even though I’m not always a good kid, my dad shouts or gets angry with me. I know that he’s a day—a day when I grow up and understand things in my life.
I can see the reason that he is so positive is because he believes in . And he believes that whatever , it is under control. So we have nothing to worry about. Be positive!
