missing piece. But because it was not complete, it could only roll (滚动) very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and
the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it
left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece. Then one day the circle found a
piece that fit perfectly (完美). The circle put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with nothing
missing. It was so happy and began to roll. As it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see
flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it
stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.
Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something. A man who has everything is a poor man in some
ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something better. He will never know someone is loving him or
someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.
We couldn"t be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to
share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always
live a wonderful time in our lives.

A smile will tell people around you that you are a kind and friendly person. However, many people don"t
smile because they think they have ugly teeth. For example, one of my classmates, Mile, doesn"t have very nice
teeth, so thatis why he seldom opens his mouth.he even says that he has lost cofidence because of his teeth.
So it is very important for us to look after our teeth. In fact, a lot of people have this problem. Some people
inherit teeth problems from their parents, while others"teeth are damaged because of bad habits, like heavy
smoking, eating too much sugar or not brush-ing teeth often. If your teeth are in bad shape, you should see
a dentist and ask for help. They can help improve your teeth and tell you how to take care of then.
Smiling can help you to feel more confident and make other people think of you as a more friendly person.
If you want to keep healthy, you should not only smile but also laugh. An Indian doctor called Kataria said
that young children should laugh about 300 times a day, wile adults should laugh between 7 and 15 times a
day. So please take this chance to smile and laugh now!

suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically (按字母表的顺序) and use numbers to represent
each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number.
So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge:
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark.
None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer (祈祷)? They can"t, either.
Then what else? Don"t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when
you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude (态度).Yes, attitude is the
word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible
that one will have a change for the betterr after one has changed one"s attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you"ll meet more smiling faces
towards you.In the same way, if you take a positive (积极地) attitude towards failure (失败), you"ll find
it"s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.

D. Attitude.

C. change your attitude

Future and Today It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well. There is an old English saying: "Gain time, gain life." Then what"s time? Time is something that we can"t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say "Time is money", but time is even more precious (珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless (无价的). We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today.We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow. As we all know, "Time and tide wait for no man." If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: "No pains, no gains." Today"s hard work is the cause of tomorrow"s harvest. | |||||||||||
