Life will be peaceful if you always do kind things．I teach my daughters to d（76） a habit of helping others．
We live in a rural（乡村） area．Most of what we see is beautiful nature．One of the exceptions （例外） to the beauty is the rubbish that some people throw out of their car windows．And there are no necessary public s（77） ．Such as rubbish collection．
A helping behavior（行为） that I often p（78） with my daughters is picking up rubbish in our neighborhood．My daughters often have a m（79） to see who can collect the most rubbish．They will often say to me in an excited voice，"There's some rubbish，﹣Daddy，stop the car!"Without t（80） more，we will often get out of the our car and pick it up．Though it may seem s（81） ，we do it．In fact，we enjoy it．We pick it up rubbish in parks，on sidewalks，almost a（82） ．
One day I saw a man I had never met before picking up rubbish on the road．I stopped．He r（83） his head and said to me with a smile，"I saw you doing this with your family．It's a good idea to protect our natural world．"
There are many other ways to p（84） kindness for others．You may share a dinner with a beggar（乞丐），visit lonely old people in the nursing home，or help the blind cross the street．You can think of something that can be finished e（85） but helpful．It is fun，self﹣satisfying，and what's more，it can set a good example．Helping others is helping yourself．
Wonder shy you get angry so easily （66）w your friend smiles all the time？It's probably because you two have different personalities．
Personality （性格） is about （67）h people think，behave，and react（反应） in different （68）s ．So what （69）m people think，behave and react in certain ways？
Part of the reason is that people are （70）b like this．A baby gets its blood type，genes，and （71）o physical things when it's still inside its mother．These things may help decide what the baby will be like．
But one's personality doesn't stop here．Family life，school learning and life （72）e can also make you the person you are．This doesn't （73）m it's impossible to change your personality．You can always try to make yourself （74）b ．Don't get too worried about your shortcoming （缺点）．Just accept them．This is a good way to start making changes．
For example，if you don't know how to make friends，find （75）o the reason．Is it because you're too shy？Tell yourself to smile at people．Start talking to people using （76）w greetings．
However，it's not easy to change lifelong habits in one night．Don't give yourself a hard time．Keep （77）w at it．One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you．
Students often gather together in small，closed groups．If you are not part of a group，it can be difficult for you to be accepted．This is（56） （especial）true if you can't speak to the members of the group in their language．
This was the situation Sam faced each day as he（57） （go） to class．Sam and his family moved to France last month．Before he arrived，he knew there would be many difficulties．But they were even（58） （bad） than he imagined．
Every lunch hour，after（59） （arrive） at his new school，Sam sat alone in the dining hall．He looked at all the different groups of students around him．But he had no way to let them know that he was a good person．He simply couldn't find the right words to reach his（60） （classmate）．
Sam knew he had to find a way to change the situation．He did a little research on the Internet and discovered that smiling is a universal language﹣it（61） （understand） everywhere．
One morning，while Sam（62） （walk） by a group of students，he smiled at them．A boy in the group smiled back at him．For Sam，that was a good beginning．Later，he noticed the boy coming towards him in the hall（63） a warm smile on his face．Sam returned the smile．
Soon the boy asked Sam to join him and his group of friends for lunch．（64） Sam wasn't able to say much in French，everyone smiled and laughed．Before he knew it，Sam had a group of friends，and they all wanted（65） （help） him learn French．
That day he experienced the power of a smile．

What's the （54） ？They are following the 24Solar Terms（节气），which are an important part of Chinese culture．Last year the United Nations（55） it to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity （人类非物质文化遗产）．
The 24Solar Terms began during the ancient periods．At that time，most Chinese people made（56） living on farms．So weather changes were important for them．But of course，they had （57） weather report or Internet to help them．

The terms became their guide to farming work．For example，the solar term jingzhe （惊蛰） is when insects wake up （61） a long sleep in the cold winter．Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working．
The 24Solar Terms is regarded as China's （62） great invention，after papermaking，printing，the compass and gunpowder．Now，it is still widely used in daily life even in the age of technology﹣based modern farming．
