People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but 31 is the window for me?
I’m not disappointed, just a little worried 32 as my roommate said, “Why are you angry with yourself once you 33 to do anything?” I had no idea. I just can’t 34 myself if I can understand some easy things. Now, I just feel 35 with myself because I couldn’t finish the assignment(任务) on the lab, and what was 36 worse was that actually I didn’t understand what the 37 was! Fiona asked me why I didn’t 38 for help. The problem is that if I have to ask some silly questions, I will feel 39 .
Before I came here, I was confident. But I have totally 40 it. Sometimes I can’t even find the right words: sometimes I am too shy to 41 others. I have to admit that I am 42 .
The wisest people are always 43 who can take advantage of others’ wisdom. But I was so stupid as to close myself and 44 a lot of time soaking inside the workbook, 45 made me more confused. Why can’t I follow the sentence? I am 46 to get help the next time I have any questions. I can 47 I am not smart, But I shouldn’t hide it. I must 48 it as soon as possible. 49 I will have to waste much more time on it ---just like tonight.
Difficulties always go with me. Go 50 ! I can make it.

She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle (雀斑)-faced image of innocence. It was outside, the kind of rain that spilt over the top of gutters (檐槽), so much in a hurry to the Earth.
We all there inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We all waited, some patient, others , because nature messed up their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running and splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome from the worries of my day.
Her voice was so sweet as it the depressing atmosphere. “Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said.
“What?” Mom asked.
“Let’s run through the rain!” She repeated.
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it down a bit.” Mom replied.
The young child waited another minute and repeated: “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“We’ll get wet through if we do.” Mom said.
“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning.” The young girl said as she at her Mom’s arm, “Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, if God can get us through this, he can get us through !”
The entire crowd stopped dead . No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom and thought for a while about what she would say.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation (肯定) in a young child’s life, a time when trust could be nurtured (培育) so that it would bloom into . “Honey, you are right. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing.” Mom said. Then off they ran.
We all stood watching, smiling as they ran past the cars. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. Soon they were by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
or people can take away your material possessions, your money, your health or sometimes your happiness. But no one can ever take away your memories. So don’t forget to take the opportunities to memories every day!
To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I do hope you will the time to run through the rain.

We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us everything to their kindness and love.

It is that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their .
With changing times and influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should express their views and if there are arguments, they should not their voices.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are to give up their places to older people.

When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.

The New York Times published an article recently that shows great regret for the “death of conversation”. It suggests that while technology such as cell phones, emails, and Internet posting makes us feel more ____ than ever, they're also driving us ____ from people around us.
Users get final connectivity ____ the price of ____ facetoface conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are ____ to a different way of being “alone together”．
Actually, ____ text messages or wring microblogs allows us to ____ thoughts. _______ bits and pieces of online cannot _______ a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people's tone of voice and see their faces in a(n) _______. “The give and take of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that _______ ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and ______ people.
Turkle mentioned the popular ________ of “I share, therefore I am” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it's a mindset adopted by most young people. They are so busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget how to live a(n) ______ life. For example, they may ________ more about blogging about attending a party rather than enjoying being _______.
________， experts remind us that it's unfair to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, points out that it is still owners of gadgets, such as cell phones and tablets, who're avoiding personal _______. We take advantage of these devices to hide ourselves _______ others. Texting messages or calling may be a(n) ________ to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other.
