At sixty, my husband retired (退休) from a high-stress and challenging job.
We (be) happily married for thirty-five years. But I have to say that my husband's transition (过渡) to retirement was one of (big) challenges in our life. For the first time, he felt lost. How would he find purpose and make living that could allow for a healthier lifestyle?
During the last Christmas, I bought him one yoga card. I found the magic of yoga a few years earlier and wanted to share him. He was thankful, but the gift card was still (hide) in his wallet. One evening over dinner, after completing all the housework, he said something surprising, "I think I may use that yoga card and take a yoga class for (begin)."
Then, I realized yoga was really (help) to him. The transition taught him how (make) a great change in life. He would soon learn that yoga is not about competing, showing up without judgment (评价). I hoped the lessons would make him feel relaxed.
Well, things have changed since then. My husband has always been a gentle man, but ever since he decided to take a yoga class, he has become much gentler. And all our grown children now throw a yoga mat (垫) in (they) back seat. If Dad and Mom do it, it must be worth a try.

The people looked 11. "You see, " the boy said, "I dug a deep hole next to the rock and I dug a small incline(斜坡) up to the rock. 12 the rock ran down into the hole by 13. And then I covered it with earth." People shouted, "What a 14 boy!" And some of them said,"15 didn't we think of this good idea? "

Anna was a 9-year-old girl from a small village. It was the (one) day of her school in town. seeing her simple clothing and knowing her identity(身份), other students laughed at Ann. Then the teacher told everyone (write) down the 8 wonders of the world. Everyone except Anna handed in (they) answer papers. The teacher came to her, "Don't worry. Just write you have known. "Anna replied, "There are so many (thing) Which 8 wonders can I pick to write?"
Most students answered (correct): the Great Green Wall of China, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Leaning Tower of Pisa… Finally the teacher(start) reading Anna's answer, "The 8 wonders: To be able to see, To be able to Hear, To Feel, Laugh, Think, Be Kind, Love and Learn! "The whole class kept (silence).
The girl from a small village reminded them the precious gifts in their life, which were true wonders.
You probably know many of the things that you can do with the hundreds of different muscles(肌肉) in your body. But have you ever thought about how the muscles in an animal's body are different from yours? An animal's muscles are made to do the things that are most important for its life.
Lions are hunters. They depend on their ability to catch other animals. Lions must be fast in order to catch their prey(猎物). The powerful muscles in their back legs allow them to run at speeds of more than 30 miles per hour. They can also jump a distance of more than 35 feet. The strong muscles in their front legs help them catch their prey.
Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different ways than lions' do. Because snakes do not have any legs, they use their muscles to push against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward. Their muscles also allow them to eat things that seem much too large. For example, a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body. How does this happen? The snake's strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth.
The elephant's long nose has a lot of muscles. Scientists believe that the nose alone has more than 100,000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way that people use their hands and fingers. Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprisingly tasks. For example, an elephant can pick up a small leaf from the ground. The nose can also be a powerful tool. An elephant can use its nose to pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a baby elephant.
The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable. But the muscles in your body work exactly the way you need them to. After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a distance of 30 feet, but as a human being, there is just not much need for it.

I I REMEMBER
Look back at the past three years, I remember many things.
Who were your best friends five years ago? Is there anyone you would really like to see again? In 1999, Julie Pankhurst, a computer programmer from London, was thinking about her past – and especially the people she used to go to school with.
Julie looked on the Internet for a website to help her find her old school friends. But there was nothing. So Julie and her husband, Steve, started their own website. They called it Friends Reunited.
The site grew slowly at first, but soon they received their first "thank you" email. The man wrote, "Thank you so much. Using your website, I found an old friend from thirty years ago!" Julie and Steve were very excited about this and continued to improve their website. By the end of 2000, there were 3,000 members.
The next year was really hard work for the couple. In January, a national radio station mentioned their website. Their membership doubled in one week! People were talking about the website all over the country, and it became a full-time job for Julie and Steve. In a year, they had four million members!
Now, over fifteen million people in lots of different countries use Friends Reunited to find old school friends, work colleagues and neighbors. Some of the stories which people tell Julie and Steve are amazing. For example, David Webster lost his memory in a car crash. He used the website to find old school friends, and they helped him remember his past.
Julie's simple idea gave us a national obsession (痴迷)—getting in touch with old friends and hearing their news. And it made her and Steve very rich—in 2005, they sold Friends Reunited for
£120 million!
Do you often listen to music? What kinds of music do you like, pop music, folk music or country music?
Both Sarah I like music very much. Sarah is my American friend. Last night I went to a concert with Sarah. I like Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring) best. It was played on the erhu. It was one of the(many) moving pieces of music that I've ever heard. The erhu sounded so sad that I almost (cry) along with it as I listened. In fact, the music was strangely beautiful but rather sad and(pain). The music was written by a folk musician called Abing who had amazing musical skills. the end of his life, Abing could play over 600 pieces of music which were mostly written by (him).
Sarah doesn't like Chinese folk music. She likes American country music a lot. She thinks country music makes her full of (feel) about returning home. It also brings her back to the "good old days"when she enjoys it. It reminds her think of the beautiful things in life —(laugh) , friends, family and the beauty of nature and the countryside. (Sarah) favorite musician is Garth, who has succeeded in selling over 120 million records so far. He is one of greatest musicians in American history. She was lucky enough to see Garth sing live last night.
