It was 7 in the morning. I was on a train to another city when I started a(n)1with a young man sitting next to me. From what he said, I2that he came from a farming family and was now doing very well in the IT industry. He was3enough to give me a window seat, help a co-passenger when he dropped his coffee, etc. These small4showed what a good person he was!

    I was lost in reading a biography(自传) on Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold Schwarzenegger has played a huge role in my life5I haven't met him. Reading a6about him is great fun.

    Now my co-passenger7to see the book, so I handed it to him. Minutes passed into hours. From the train window, I8him reading the book carefully. Towards the end of the trip, I even saw him9everything about the book including the publishing house and code number. He turned to me and asked where he could buy this book.

    "You can10 it," I said. "This is the second time that I've read it anyway."

    I was lying! Actually it was last weekend that I bought it. I loved it so much and how I11to hold on to it myself! 12, when I thought of his kindness, I thought I should do something too. "Wow," the man said to me. "This is really13. Thank you so much."

    "No problem. Don't worry about it."

    I got off the train and walked into the new city with a sense of14. I did not regret giving the book to him as I believed15each other is really a good thing.

Friends are important to children. Research shows that children who have no friends can suffer from difficulties later in life. Friendship provides children with more than just fun. In making friends, children learn how to get in touch with others and solve problems. Having friends even does good to children for they can help each other during class.

If the parents are concerned about whether their children make many friends, what matters is that the child is comfortable and happy with his friends. Parents need to understand the steps children take in building friendships. First of all, be a friend to your child. Good friendships start at home. Children begin to develop the necessary ability to go out and meet others through getting along with their parents. Greet the child warmly and let him know you are glad to see him. Children learn a lot from how their parents stay with them and other people.

Teach children how to solve conflicts. Being able to work out conflicts is an important skill in getting along with others. If parents know the children have a conflict, let them work it out on their own. Only step in if it is really necessary, for example, an argument is getting physical.

Give children chances to practice staying together. Have children play games that require cooperation. For example, races are fun and provide plenty of practice in teamwork. Encourage children to show thanks to others. The parents can encourage children to do this by setting the example for them.

        Economic growth for July through September fell to 9.6 percent in China, down from 10.3 percent in the second quarter.

        Sheng Laiyun, a spokesman from China's National Bureau of Statistics, says the figures show a year­on­year increase of 10.6 percent, 2.5 percentage points higher than the same period last year.

       The figures show the Chinese economy remains strong, and despite fears from many economists, is far from overheating.

       The consumer price index rose 3.6 percent in September, up slightly from 3.5 percent in August.However, it remains well above the target for the year of 3 percent.

       On Tuesday, the central bank raised interest rates, in a move many economists say was intended to gently cool the economy and get a firm control on inflation.

        Jinny Yan, an economist Standard Chartered Bank, says she is happy to see that the Chinese economy is not overheating.

     “A 9.6 percent growth is in our view much more sustainable and we think it is a healthy growth pace compared to the first quarter of this year，”she noted.“What it means is that the economy has now stabilized.It has recovered.Now it is more about concentrating on the other risks, for example inflation or asset price inflation in the economy.”

        The interest rate increase and the slowing growth may ease pressure from overseas for China to allow its currency to appreciate.

        Several countries, including the United States, complain that China's yuan is kept unfairly weak to give Chinese exports a market advantage.China says it will gradually adopt a more reasonable exchange rate policy, to keep its economy growing, but the yuan has strengthened only about 2.5 percent in recent months.

        Many economists and international policy analysts have said they expect China to face new demands about the yuan when the leaders of the Group of 20 leading economies meet next month.

This July I took part in a summer camp. It has been more than three months before I left the summer camp. Besides, there's one thing I will never forget it. It happened on the third day. It was my turn to give an English speech in class. I felt worried because my poor spoken English. So I went to Miss Zhao for help. Not only does she comfort me, but she suggested that I should be confident enough and gave me some valuable advices. And then I practiced very hard. To my greatly joy, my speech was a success. It was the teacher's encouragement which helped me get courage. If Miss Zhao hadn't helped me, I couldn't have enjoyed the success.

Through this experience, I know that when we have difficulties, we should never be afraid to ask other for help and I am happy to live in this world filling with love.

    In the movie Alice in Wonderland, Alice comes across a Cheshire cat and asks the cat which road she should take. The cat responds, “Well, that depends on where you're trying to get to.” Alice replies, “I don't know.” The cat responds, “Then any road will do.”

    You see, knowing where you're going increases your chances dramatically of getting there, and there is no better way of “GETTING THERE” than setting your goals for the upcoming year. Think of your goals as destinations and the action steps as your GPS guiding and directing you. If you are like many other people, for years you have resisted the need to set goals and even laughed at the thought that setting goals and, even more importantly, committing them to writing have positive effects on your life. However, a closer look might convince you that setting goals is a sensible thing to do.

    In 1979, a class of Harvard MBA students was asked: Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made an action plan to accomplish them? The following will astonish you. Only 3 percent of the class had written goals and a plan in place, 13% just had goals, and an amazing 84% had no specific goals at all.

    Ten years later the numbers of the class were interviewed once again and the following results will no doubt give the reason for our setting goals. The findings were that the 13% who had goals were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84% who had no goals at all. And the 3 percent who had clear, written goals with a plan to achieve them were achieving ten times as much as the entire 97% combined.

    Goal setting will increase your chances of arriving successfully at your destination. Remember, always set SMART goals. Goals should be: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound!

    For most of her life, Suanne Laqueur's passion for storytelling was shown on the dance floor.

    Although Laqueur began writing at a young age, dancing always took center stage. She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mother's dance studio in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: “Owning a studio is a lot of work—financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing(编舞), the staging, but I didn't want to own it.”

    Yet Laqueur's disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue Self-publishing as a way of sharing her first completed novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her true passion—telling stories through writing—made the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose.

    Starting with her second self-published novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has self-published six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Good reads. Her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show at the 25th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries to win the grand prize.

    “You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think self-publishing allows that freedom,' she says. “If you work with traditional publishing, it's more about what's marketable, There are trade-offs, which everyone will tell you, but by self-publishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I'm cool with that.”

Percival Lugue is a graphic artist in the Philippines. From the age of 5, he has had a 1for collecting toys from fast-food restaurant chains like McDonald's and home-country favorite Jollibee.

Now, the 50-year-old has about 20, 000 toys packed from 2to ceiling in his home and3 a Guinness World Record from 2014, when his collection 4more than 10, 000 items. "The toy is like a storyteller in itself, "said Lugue, explaining his5while sitting among an eclectic(兼收并蓄的) 6of toys in his three-story home. "For example, it gives me a glimpse of that7period when I got it, the story of what's going on, what are the incidents that are 8in the acquisition of the toys, "he said.

Lugue built his home especially to9his collection. He compares the 10that getting new toys gives him to Christmas morning. He has always played with the11. But unlike the other kids, who would12their toys into pieces, even as a child, he took 13care of them and put them on display.

While14purchases brought him most of his toys, some were 15 by friends and family. "I would invite my friends to have lunch at McDonald's and in one sitting I would be able to complete the 16set, " he said.

One of his most 17pieces is a "Hefty Spaghetti" figure, a mascot(吉祥物)from the Jollibee chain that his mother gave him in 1988.

His dream now is to 18 put his collection on display for the19or even open a museum to "give others a chance to 20 their own childhood memories."
