One of the major traffic light had gone out , and a police officer was standing in the middle of around twenty lanes of very busy traffic . The fact was that he had no hat or shade(遮棚)to shield(保护)him from the burning sun but , he was upbeat and doing a fabulous(出色的)job .
I saw a drugstore on the comer , and while I was there , I wanted so badly to get some water for the officer ! I had some hesitation(犹豫), though , as it was a little out of my comfort zone(安全区)to communicate with a stranger in this way .
I discussed , struggled , left , drove part-way home , turned around , went back to the drugstore , got water , and then found myself thinking about how to hand it to him in the busy crossing . I knew that he might not be able to take it – he wouldn’t have hands to hold it since he was busy making motions(动作)to direct(指挥)the traffic – but I had to try .
I drove into the crossing , rolled down my windows as I passed the officer , and gave him the bottle of water . Though he wasn’t able to take the bottle , he broke into a smile and said , “ Thank you . ”
I drove home , feeling better for having persisted(坚持). And I was even inspired to call the station that afternoon to make sure they knew what a great job he did that day . It felt good to spread(传播)the positivity(正能量), and it was the least I could do .

Dinosaurs(恐龙) once lived on the earth for a long time. They suddenly disappeared millions of years ago. What happened to them? That's still a mystery. People never stop searching for the answer.

Some US scientists say it is because there were not enough male(雄性的) dinosaurs. They got this idea after researching crocodiles(鳄鱼).

Mother crocodiles lay eggs and later baby crocodiles come out. The local temperature decides the sex(性别) of the baby crocodile. When the eggs are at a temperature of 26℃ to 30℃, the babies are all girls;when the temperature is 30℃ to 34℃, there are both boys and girls; when it is 34℃ to 36℃,only boys are born.

Dinosaurs' babies also came from eggs.So scientists have given us a new picture: millions of years ago, it suddenly became very cold.Almost all dinosaur babies were girls. There were fewer and fewer male dinosaurs.Mother dinosaurs could not give birth to more babies.Finally,these powerful animals disappeared.

Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy? Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win﹣win(双赢) situation.

Plogging,a new way to exercise, began in Sweden(瑞典). The name "plogging"" comes from two words﹣the Swedish(瑞典的) word "plocka", which means "to pick up(捡起)",and the word "jogging",which means "to run slowly".A Swedish man called Erik started the movement.He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day.He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more.Instead, he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time.To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.

Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth.Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatterall around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. After all, many hands make light work. Another reason is that plogging burns more calories (卡路里). According to a research, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up! It's time for us to take action together.So ready? Let's plog tomorrow!

The wise man took out a piece of paper and drew a straight line down the middle.He explained that he would write down the things Peter had lost on the left side and the things Peter still had on the right side.

The wise man asked, "When did your family leave you?"

"What do you mean? They haven't left me. They love me!"

"That's great!"said the wise man. "Then that will be the first thing on the right side ﹣ Family haven't left.Now, do you have freedom(自由)?"

"That's a silly question. Of course I do!"

Good that's the second one on the right side ﹣ you have freedom!"said the wise man,writing it down.
