What’s the most important thing in your life? Do you think about this question?
I began to think about it when I was just a little girl. I had a lot of friends and I loved playing with them. So I thought friendship(友谊) was the most important thing in life. If I had no friends, I would be very sad.
When I got older, I thought the most important thing was music. I was crazy about music at that time. To me, if I couldn’t sing or listen to music, my life would be boring.
When I was 12, I read a book that tells a beautiful story about the love between a mother and her child. I was happy to find that love was the most important thing. I thought love made my life beautiful.
Not long ago, I got a new answer to the question from another book. “Happiness is the destination(目标) for everyone.” the writer said.
Soon I began to understand friendship, music, love and happiness are all very important to us. These important things make our lives colourful and beautiful.
What’s the most important thing in life now? I still don’t have the answer. However, I don’t want to know. I just want to care about everything important in my life.
I hope everyone can find the important things in their lives, and cherish them!

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant （令人愉快的）but are not．（61） When someone says they have to"face the music"，it does not mean they are going to a concert．"Facing the music"means to accept and deal with the punishment of an action．
（62） For example，"I can't face another night of camping!It's cold and rainy．"Or"In life，you must face your fears．"Face used in this way is very common．But now，let's go back to facing the music．Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car．She gives you the keys and says，"Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away．But please，do not drive it．It is an extremely （极其） fast car．"（63） You want to show off to some friends．So，you drive it around town one night．As bad luck would have it，you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign．Bang!
When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and"face the music"．（64）____ It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both．Whatever the music is，you must face it．
（65） To"take your medicine"means to accept the results from something bad you have done．And if someone says，"You made your bed．Now lie in it．"they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!

Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place？
Lots of people do．And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why．They found that one﹣half of the brain"remains more awake"than the otherhalf when people are trying to sleep in a new place．
The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University．In their report，the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home．They call it"first﹣night influence"．"In Japan they say，"If you change your bed，you can't sleep，'"said Yuka Sasaki，one of the report's writers．"You don't sleep very well in a new place．We all know about it．"
The researchers measured brain waves （测量脑波） for 35volunteers over two nights in a laboratory．The two nights were a week apart （间隔）．They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half．This was during the first deep﹣sleep period，the researchers said．
Sasaki said a lot of questions remain．
Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long．So，they don't know if the left half keeps"watch"all night，or whether it"works in shifts （轮换） with the right half later in the night"．They also do not know why the brain activity，at least during the first period of deep sleep，is always on the left half．
For some，this research may be calming．It is good to know that our brain is"looking out for us"in a new place．But it may not help with sleep．That brain activity，at least according to this new research，makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning．

A doctor entered the hospital hurriedly after being called in for an important surgery （外科手术）．
He found the boy's father in the hall waiting worriedly．
On seeing him，the father cried out，"Why did you take all this time to come？Don't you know that my son is in danger？Don't you have any sense of duty？"
The doctor smiled and said，"I am sorry．I wasn't in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now，I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work．"
"Calm down？!What if your son was in this room right now？Would you calm down？If your own son dies while waiting for a doctor，then what will you do？"said the father angrily．The doctor smiled again and replied，"We will do our best and you should also pray （祈祷）for your son's healthy life．"
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy，"Thank goodness!Your son is saved!"And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running by saying，"If you have any questions，ask the nurse．"
"Couldn't he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son's state？"shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left．
The nurse answered，tears coming down her face．"His son died yesterday in a road accident．He was at the burial （葬礼） when we called him for your son's surgery．And now that he saved your son's life，he left running to finish his son's burial．"
