As the proverb says, "Your tongue has the power of life and death." This means that your words have power to finally cause things to happen, even life or death.
We may all experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. A child is blamed ( 责 备 ) by teachers or parents, and after that, he might probably think of himself as a bad child. Most kids have that experience. They say it is important to praise children four times for each negative ( 负 面 的 ) word. Blaming will make things worse, while positive words are helpful especially when being in trouble or in need. When we fail the exam, encouraging words from our teachers or parents make us work harder at our lessons. Encouraging words can go quite a long way. They lift people up. For example, encouraging words to someone who is sad can help them make it through the day. Words can have a powerful effect on your brain. And it will in turn ( 相 应 地 ) have a great influence on your action.
Everything you do depends on what you choose to do. It's not your parents, your past relationships or your job, but you and only you that are responsible for every goal you set. If you have dreams in life, write them down and speak them out. Your words are likely to bring you out something amazing.

We've heard about several "poor students" in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter(录取通知书) from Peking University. (1) She is a student form Hebei. She was doing her part﹣time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University.
(2) For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li Enhui said in an interview, "As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don't have my experiences. (3) " Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that "poor students" have.
Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities( 品 格 ) are necessary for growth. (4) Not everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic, can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in poor families doesn't promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn't promise optimistic attitudes(态度). We like such "poor students" because they are strong and optimistic.
For them, few can choose their lifestyles. (5) That's why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them.
A.Life is full of ups and downs.
B.A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example.
C."Poor students" are usually hard﹣working and caring.
D.And these experiences make me grow and become better.
E.Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common.
F.However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life.

When the weather has been dry, the grass is brown. Animals like to eat grass when it is (2) and fresh. And if the grass in one place is greener than the rest, animals (3) to eat that grass. An animal in a field may look over the fence(篱笆) into the next field, where perhaps there are no animals and grass in the field (4) greener. But if the animal could get into the field, it would find that the grass is really the same. It just seems better from a distance(远处). So that's the (5) of the expression "The grass is greener on the other side of the fence."
We sometimes only say "The grass is (6) greener on the other side." We use the expression to describe the situation ﹣﹣﹣ someone looks at distant things and feels they are better than the things around him. But (7) he could go to the distant place, he would find that life there is just as difficult. So don't always think that other people have a better situation. Just be (8) with what you have had. Enjoy and value it!
