Accept life as it is. I learned how to do it from my father. 1, he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when he was 2 and ill.

    My father was 3a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 4 all that away. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is 5 . One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started6about life, and I told them about one of my 7. I said that we must very often give things up 8 we grow — our youth, our beauty, our friends — but it always 9 that after we give something up, we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 10 up. He said, “But, Peter, I gave up11 ! What did I gain?” I thought and thought, but I couldn't think of anything to say. 12 , he answered his own question: “I  13 the love of my family,” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.

    I was also 14 by his words. After that, when I began to feel irritated (愤怒的) at someone, I 15 remember his words and become 16 . If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be 17 to give up my small irritations. In this 18, I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

    Sometimes I 19 what other things I could have learned from him if I had listened more carefully when I was a boy. For now, though, I am 20 for this one word.

— Sorry, I _________ it. I guess I put it on the top shelf with my things.

—We hear so much about exercises these days. So even experts can't agree on which exercises are best. Now some doctors are strongly encouraging arm exercises.

—Arm exercises?

— They say that arm exercises are a way to become physically healthy.

—But don't arm exercises raise your blood pressure?

—Yes. But the articles I read supply ways to make up for that.

—How?

—By adding leg exercises, so that the arms don't do all the work.

—

—Sounds right to me. I quite agree with you.

—

—They mentioned quite a few, but some of the popular ones are cycling with special

bicycles that make you use both your arms and legs.

— So I'd like to have a try.

—The same with me.

A. So what exercises do the experts suggest?

B. The more leg exercises you do, the better you are.

C. And in turn I'm sure that they're also a good chance of losing weight.

D. Actually that's not the main reason.

E. What's your opinion about this?

F. Is that because our arms are too fat or soft?

G. I can hardly believe it.

Hi，everyone!

—Yes, I ______ some used furniture and it was a real bargain.

    Think about the different ways that people use wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century AD. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

    For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏僻的) areas began to use windmills to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all the areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.

    During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means high costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

    You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.

    These are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of”—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated（积累）by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote（推动）a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent(代表).

    Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from tree, for example. But they all reveal （显露）a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.

    Others on the way include “The museum of Collectors” and “The Museum of Me.” These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of.” The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.

    Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important points: the beginning or end of adolescence ( 青春期 )—“it's a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,” says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship.
