Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it,but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
It takes an hour to like someone,and a day to love someone,but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back.Do not expect love in return;but if it does not,be content it has grown in yours.Do not rely on one's appearance;it can trick you.Do not rely on wealth;even that fades away.Rely on someone who makes you smile,because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them.Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past.You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,enough trails to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human,enough hope to make you happy.The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything;they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.Happiness waits for those who cry,those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.Always put yourself in others' shoes.If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the other person,too.
When you were born,you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Otherwise, they'll be disappointed after graduation from high school.
Like university students, US high school (student) have the freedom to choose the courses that attract (they). Even ninth-grade student can sit in the same classroom as 12th-graders. this also means he or she has to work very hard, because the teacher will not treat him or her (different) just because he or she is a few years younger.

Earth Day is coming in a week. Are you wondering what to do for Earth Day this year? Here are some suggestions.
Ask your parents to leave their cars at home. Cars, being the greatest source(来源)of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. Other greener options are carpooling, riding a bike or walking if you want a healthier option.
Be a little dirty. No, we don't mean it that "way". Yes, saving water is extremely important. A day or two without a bath won't harm you, but it will certainly do a lot of good for our planet. A daily shower isn't a matter of health; it's a matter of comfort. Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need.
Volunteer yourself. If you have the time, there are lots of opportunities out there to make contributions, for example, planting trees, cleaning a park or simply coming up with ways you can preserve(保护)mother Earth.
This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around, that is, switch off their lights. However, this is not something you should do just for a day and for only an hour.
The future of our planet is in your hands!
A. Every step counts.
B. Green-up your home.
C. This is one of the best things you can do.
D. We simply mean to say, don't take a bath.
E. Join other like-minded people in a common task.
F. Travelling by public transport is the better option.
G. Save energy by switching off all electricity points whenever they aren't in use.

What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 16
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. 17 Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. 18 If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
19 According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “ 20 ”
| A. A healthy body contributes to one's intelligence. B. Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children. C. What people want to express is like this. D. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. E. It needs exercise. F. You are such a smart child. G. These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear. |
