分）
Would
you like to improve
yourself
？
Would
you like to be a better
person
？
Good
news! Here we've got some tips for
you
．
Tip 1Be
Kind
Remember to be
kind to yourself
．
You can do simple things to take care
of yourself
，
like
getting enough sleep to make yourself
energetic
．
If you
don't do like that
，
you will not
bring anything
good to anyone else
．
When you decide to show more kindness
to yourself and
to
others
，
life
changes quickly in a better
way
．
Tip 2Be
Encouraging
It's amazing
what a kind word or touch can
do
．
When I was a
kid
，
I went to a
lot of
schools
．
It always made me
scared
，
and I was
very nervous and unsure of
myself
．
One
time
，
a teacher touched my head and
said
，
smiling
，
﹣
you'll have a
good time
with us in this classroom
．
．
All of us may come across some trouble
in our life
，
and
a bit of encouragement can be
remembered for
years
．
Tip
3
When my sister and I were
kids
，
my mum
didn't have a car and our school was a
30
﹣
minute
walk
．
Our
neighbor offered to drive us to school when she
dropped her son off
，
and
that saved my mother a
lot of time
．
Giving help to others can bring you
happiness
．
When thinking about how to become a
better person
，
remember that small changes are
also important
．
But
．
As the old saying
goes
，
You can't
pour
from an empty
cup
．
，
you have to fall in love with yourself
first
．
（

The
underlined word
（指代）

of schools
B

Storyteller
Bertie
﹣
storyteller's husband
The White
Prince
﹣
a lion
…
We never had
children of our own
﹣
just The
White Prince
﹣
and I can tell
you
，
he was
enough
of
a
family
for
anyone
．
He
walked
freely
in
the
park
just
as
we
had
planned
he
would
，
and ran after the deer and the rabbits
whenever he felt like it
；
but be never did learn
how
to kill for himself
．
You can't teach old lions new
tricks
．
He lived
on deer mostly
，
and
slept on a sofa in our
living room
﹣
I wouldn't have
him inside our bedroom
，
no
matter
（无
论）
how often Bertie
asked
．
You
know
，
I have to
draw the line somewhere
．
Bertie's leg was never
cured
．
When it
was bad
，
he often
needed a stick
，
or me
，
or
the lion to lean
on
．
It pained him
a lot
，
especially
on cold and wet days
，
and he never slept
well
．
On Sundays the three of us would walk
around the park together
，
and Bertie would sit
on
the
top
of
Wood
Hill
with
his
arm
around
the
lion's
neck
and
I
would
fly
kites
．
You
know
，
I've always loved
kites
．
And the
lion liked to break them into
pieces
．
The
lion never showed any interest in running
away
，
and even if
he'd wanted to
，
the
park wall was too high
for an old lion to jump
over
．
Wherever
．
Bertie went
，
he wanted to
go
too
．
And if ever
Bertie went out in the car
，
then he'd sit by me in the
kitchen
，
and
watch
me with those great amber
eyes
，
listening
all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming
up the path to the front of the
house
．
The
lion
was
getting
older
．
And
he
became
weak
in
his
legs
and
could
see
very
little
．
He spent his last days sleeping at
Bertie's feet
．
When he died
，
we buried
（埋葬）
him at the bottom of the
hill
．
Bertie's
wanted it that way so he could always see the
place
from the kitchen
window
．
I
suggested Bertie plant a tree in
case
（以防）
he
forgot where the
lion
was
．
，
but
he should get more than a
tree
．
．
Bertie was sad for
weeks
，
months
after the lion died
．
There was nothing I could do to
cheer him or even comfort
him
．
He would sit
for hours in his room
，
or go off on long walks
