One day I got into a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were on the right side when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of . My taxi driver stopped at once and missed the other by just inches ( 英寸)!
The driver of the other car turned his head quickly and started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost broke your car and sent us to the !” This is when my taxi driver me what I now call “The Law of the Rubbish Truck”.
He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around of rubbish, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their rubbish grows, they need a place to empty it and they’ll empty it onto you. Don’t it personally, just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take the rubbish and it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

“You are my best friend.” It’s the nicest thing you can 36 to someone. It’s also the nicest thing you can 37 someone.
Good friendships begin in middle school. It’s the 38 you begin to develop your own personality. Your parents aren’t around so you 39 lots of time every day sharing your life with your classmates. You talk with them, you work with them and you become friends with them. But 40 them will become your “best” friend.
Best friends are the people who like you and 41 you the most. They are the 42 who are easy to work with and easy to have fun with.
Sometimes it’s 43 to find a best friend. And sometimes you can 44 a little lonely. But just because you don’t have best friend now, it doesn’t mean you 45 one in the future. Best friends seem to find each other as if by magic. And when you find your best friend, the magic will last forever.

Dear friends,
Do you remember your first day at a new school or in a new area? How about the 31 when your family 32 to a new state? Ugh! What about the feelings of being a stranger?
Then, with time, you find someone who likes 33 you like. Friends are great gifts in life. I have good friends too, but not because they are completely(完全的) 34 .Sometimes they talk too much; sometimes they need me a lot. I know I ask too much of them. I hope my friends, like my father, 35 about me a lot.
I once told my friends to give me all their love and be generous and gentle. I told my friends, in other words, to love me 36 I loved them.
They didn’t 37 me at first, but then they became kinder. My love for them slowly made them learn to 38 friends. They learned to love others and 39 the idea that LOVE is part of life.
If we listen to and try to understand each other, love 40 .We should work on it, even if it’s hard at first. A true friend loves US at all times.
Your friend,
Jesus

Thousands of years ago，human(人类)didn’t live in towns．Sometimes they would live in caves(洞穴)or build camps in the forest．
Only about thirty people 1in each camp．The men would go hunting while the woman and children 2food from trees around the camp．All the food was 3among people in the group．Every few weeks they moved to another place to find more food．It was a simple life，but people had to be 4．They had to make everything that they needed，and they had to know a lot about plants and animals．
Nowadays most people live in towns and cities，and they work in offices and factories．Life is 5than in the old days．There are fewer 6，but there is less excitement．Some people go 7excitement sailing round the world．climbing mountains，or exploring(探测)caves．
Most people look forward to the 8 ,a time when they can enjoy a change from the normal life．For some this means going camping．But camping today is 9from camping in the past．Gas cookers，ready-made food and air-beds mean people can camp much more 10than they did in the old times．

If you are writing or studying, it makes much difference where the light comes from. People use 46 and pens every day. They have to be very careful about the way of the light because the light shines on their work.
Every47 gets its light either from daylight 48 the window 49 from the lamps or electricity, 50 no matter what kind of light it is, the way it shines towards our books or work is very important to the eyes.
Take a book and sit with your 51 toward the window, and try to read. Your shadow(影子) falls all over the page and makes it 52 for your eyes as if you were in a 53 room.
Now turn around and face the window. The page is 54 shadow again, while the bright light is in your eyes.
Try sitting with your 55 side toward the window. This is very good for 56 , but if you were writing, the shadow 57 fall across the page and bother you58 .
There is another way – sit59 your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect for writing as well.
Whatever kind of light is in the room, the rule about the right way to sit is 60 the same.
