by who life take that serious or one they send happy influence

I once had an unforgettable experience that has affected and directed the way I think and act now．

When I was about seven years old，my grandfather（71）　　 me to a fish pond on a farm and told me to throw a stone into the water．He told me to watch the circles created （72）　　 the stone．Then he asked to think of myself at that stone．"You may create lots of circles in your life，but the waves （73）　　 come from those circles will disturb（干扰） the peace of all the people around you，"he said （74）　　．"Remember that your circle may spread to many other circles，meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others'（75）　　．You are responsible for what put in your circle．If you　want，the good or peace that comes from your circle （76）　　 to others．At the same time，the anger or jealousy （嫉妒）　coming from your circle will also spread to other circles．You should allow the good feelings （77）　 others，not the bad　ones，because you are responsible for both．"

That was the （78）　　 time I heard my grandfather tell me these．I had realized that each person's （79）　　 or　anger can move out into the world．If we are filled with doubt or anger，we cannot create world peace．We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside，whether we speak （80）　　 or not．These circles are spreading into the world，creating beauty or making troubles to other circles of life．

Drawing might help you think

    When you're sitting in class， have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks？ If so， your teacher might have told you （1）　　（stop）． Many people think of doodling （涂鸦）as a distraction（精神涣散） from more important things． But it might be just the opposite．

    One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear． In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message． One group （2）_____　（encourage） to doodle， but the other was not．Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message． But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more．

    Other people （3）　　（suggest）other uses for drawing． Jesse Prinz， a professor who studies doodling， says it can help you think creatively． Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it． When you come back， you （4）　　（have） a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly．

    Two years ago， an author named Sunni Brown （5）　　（write）a book on doodling． She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think． She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing， but she wants to change that． In fact， she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling． Brown （6）　　（believe）doodling is helpful because it incorporates （整合） many ways of learning． You learn in four ways： seeing， hearing， reading or writing， and through movement． The more ways you use， the better you learn． And when you doodle while you （7）　　（listen）to a lecture， you use all four．

    You might think that being good at （8）　　（draw）is important for doodling． But if the point of doodling is to help you think， then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like． Even if you're not an artist， doodling can help you． So next time you need help focusing， pick up a pen and doodle away!

You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is a     the place where you learn to get along well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?
If you d   that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容). Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the w  that other people do, so it is important to learn to live h   with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. K  others constantly(不断地) makes us understand others’ differences.
Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance t us to keep an even temper(温和的脾气) and an open mind.
You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others h    you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is important to treat them kindly too. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you s    respect the differences in others and not to try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make e   life easier. Learn to accept people for t     different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make things better.

What’s the most important thing in your life? Have you thought 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 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. In my opinion, if I couldn’t sing or couldn’t listen to music, my life would be meaningless.
As time went by, I changed my mind again. 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. The writer said, “happiness is the destination for everyone.”
Soon I realized that, in fact, friendship, music, love and happiness are all very important to us. There are many important things that make our lives colourful and beautiful.
What’s the most important thing in life? I don’t have the answer yet. However, in fact, I don’t want to know. I just want to care about everything important in my life. And I believe I will be very happy if I can achieve that.
