My mother only had one eye. And because of this, I never wished her to show up in my school, being afraid that my classmates would I had an ugly mother.
One day during elementary school, I was terribly ill. My mother came .
“Your mom only has one eye?!” asked some of my classmates. I was so embarrassed.
I wished my mother would just from this world. “ If you make me teased(嘲笑),why don’t you just die?” I shouted at her, taking no notice of the sad look on her face. My mother just handed me some medicine and left without saying .
At that time, I felt to say what I always wanted to say, and I didn’t think I had hurt her feelings very much. That night I saw my mom in her room, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might me. Even so, I hated her tears from one eye. I made a decision : I must study hard and leave my mother.
Years later my dream came true. I was quite successful and lived . I never thought of going back to see my “ugly” mother one day I got a letter, which said, “My son… I’m sorry I only have one eye. When you were little, you got into an accident and lost your eye. As a mom, I couldn’t stand watching you live with only one eye. I gave you mine. I was never with you and I never regretted(后悔) what I did because I love you…”
I cried out aloud. Only then did I realize how beautiful my mother was!

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce(弹跳)back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of .If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don't look down on your by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don't let other people set for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be .
Don't love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only you've been, but also where you are going.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words .You can't get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that's why we call it "the present". Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

Seventy-five million pieces of mail can be put in these offices in one year.
There the workers of the dead mail offices have ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail. First of all, they look for that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages, expecting that something will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also be listed on a so that people can call in and check to see if a missing thing is there on the screen.

Every three months, some people who are are invited to the offices with objects found in dead mail packages and they are sold to the bidder (出价者).

At present, almost everyone has a mobile phone, but have you ever thought that cell phones be bad for your health? A study shows that heavy mobile phone use may cause hearing loss.
This study shows that people who use cell phones for about an hour a day have a time hearing some similar sounds, especially in their right ears. It is getting harder for to tell the difference between the sounds of “s” and “f”, and “t” and “z”.
Researchers studied 100 people who used cell phones and them with 50 people who did not. The study lasted for 12 months. What the researchers found was that cell phone users had more hearing than those who did not use cell phones.
Besides this, our ears have many little inside them. Too much noise will cause these hairs to get weak and die. When these hairs die, it affects our ability to listen.
However, cell phone users don’t care too much this study. One man said, “I’d be more worried about people who MP3 players. They put those earphones in their ears and listen to very music. I think that is more likely to cause hearing loss than a cell phone.”
