I （not finish） my homework yet． I am afraid I can't go to the park with you．
We all want to live the life we dream of． However， at times， some negative（ 消极的） ideas may stop us． Hope the following suggestions can help to ignore those（1） and go ahead．
Do What We Can Control
One thing we can control is doing what we can﹣eating healthily，exercising，reading，and getting enough sleep．Doing the right things can help（2） to achieve the most happiness．Also，it can make us move on in the（3） direction．However，we should also accept that there are many things we can't control．
Take Calculated（预料到的） Risks
Success doesn't come（4） risks．We all have to take risks in life，but try to make sure those risks are calculated．For example，you are working at a job that you hate，and you are dreaming of giving it up and（5） your own business．The thought is a start．But one day， you can't stand your job any more，so you leave it even though you haven't really had a plan． This is such a big risk that it will probably make you（6） want to take a risk again． So just start with a small risk．
Don't Be Afraid of Failure
Thomas Edison is one of the greatest inventors in history． However， he（7） many times．Did you know Edison created an electric pen？A ghost machine？ Probably not．Well，that's because they were complete failures．But those failures put him one step（8） to success．Think of failures as milestones（里程碑） towards success．

Our junior high school life is coming to an end．So my classmates and I decided to make a special（1） for our own favorite teacher in the ceramics（ 陶艺） class．
After being dried for a long time in the fire，our gifts for teachers were（2） ．Chen Hui took them out of the kiln（窑）． CRASH（碎裂声）! His cup，Xiao Yao's，（3） ，and my heart broke into pieces all over the floor．
"My elephant lost her trunk（象鼻）!" Xiao Yao shouted． "My heart is broken!" I（4） almost at the same time．
"I'm so sorry!" Chen Hui said．
"Bring（5） to the repair station，" said Xiao Yao， "Let's see what we can do with some magic glue．"We tried many times，（6） the magic glue worked only on Chen Hui's cup． The trunk and the heart were in too many broken bits to put back together．
"Now my elephant has a short nose instead of a trunk，" said Xiao Yao，"It（7） like a little dog with big ears． And it's（8） lovely! Let's call it doglephant!"
"A cute doglephant! Cool! You just turned the accident into a happy one!" I said．And right then，I knew（9） to do． Maybe I could make a mosaic（镶嵌画） by using the pieces of my broken heart．
When it was all done，everyone thought it was pretty cool．Yes，my present didn't turn out the way I'd planned， but it turned out even（10） ！
