Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will affect (影响) your life in some serious way.
Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful (痛苦的) and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.
The people you meet affect your life, and the successes and failure (失败) you experience, create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.
You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

Every school day， we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school． They are a big part of our lives． But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag？
In the Han Dynasty （汉朝）， students in old﹣style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school． People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags． They were usually two or three layers （层） in the box． Kids put different things like books， brushes， ink stones （砚） and paper in the boxes．
Hundreds of years later， people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai， or the "hip﹣pocket"． The budai was lighter than the bamboo box． With the founding （成立） of the People's Republic of China， military rucksacks （军用帆布包） became popular． Many people carried them when they were in school． Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags． Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school．
A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years． Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs （时尚的设计） on them， such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars． And they are more comfortable to use． Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks．

China covers large areas and has a great population． Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country． Recently， another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one： the way people shop at markets．
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals． It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage， two potatoes and 0.25kilograms of beef at a time．
However， one may be laughed at if he does this in the north． Instead， buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual． Also， you can buy a small amount （数量） of fruit， such as a single apple or pear， each time in the south． Shop owners even help you peel and cut them． But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service． And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes．
The difference could be due tothe different weather．
Food can be kept for a long time in the north， as it is usually cold and dry there． Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food， especially for the long winter． But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day， or else the food may go bad．
