It happened many years ago, and I was in high school then. Being a student from

a 16 family, I had to work on weekends to make some extra money that my family

couldn’t really

17 to give me, and one day after work I lost my wallet.

My old car needed gas in the back. I paid for the gas and then put my wallet on

the

bumper(

保险杠

)

，and

drove

off.

I

hadn’t

even

had

time

to

miss

it

when

my

phone

rang and an old man asked me 18 I had lost my wallet. I checked the 19 of my

jacket and to my horror, I had. He asked me to tell him how much money was 2 0 it,

and I told him. He then told me where to 21 my wallet.

As

I

drove

into

his

driveway,

I 22 that

his

car

was

for

the 23 .

I

was

thinking

that there was no way this man could 24 get out of his car and get my wallet off

the street. He had to pull over, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then

pick it up, I was 25 .

I knocked on the 26 and he told me to go in. I thanked him like 10 times for

27 my

wallet.

I

didn’t

want

to

make

him

angry

by

offering

him

28

,

I

really

felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to

repay his 29

, and he said, “Just pass

30

on.” I really wanted to thank him,

so I sincerely promised I would.

small

children

You

can

find

them

running

through grassland, with dirt on their faces and small bags on their backs. You can

also find them playing in small rivers or climbing up trees. In Northern European

countries, nature nursery schools are growing in popularity (becoming popular)

because

research shows that

these

“

nature

”

children are better in many ways than

the children in normal nursery schools.

Although there are different themes in different schools, nature nursery

schools are most often built in a forest. A forest gives the perfect chance for a

child to develop a healthy body.

The forest also offers many learning chances.

more, the forest is filled with playthings: a stick can be a horse to ride or be

Spring will soon be upon us and a new term is here. All over the world spring

is the season of new life: flowers bloom, baby animals are born, and the weather

becomes

warmer

．

During

this time of year, people usually walk around with a spring

in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginnings

．

However, for a fresh beginning

it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of spring

．

We need to look at

ourselves, set new goals, and decide how to improve ourselves

．

In England people usually do this on the first day of the year. We look at the

past year and think about what we' d like to change or improve in our lives, and

we call this a New

Year' s < /p>

resolution

（决心）

．

These can be anything

from improving

one' s health through exercise or cutting out bad habits, to studying harder for

better grades or trying to find a good work or life balance

．

Luckily,

we

don'

t

have

to

wait

for

the

beginning

of

a

new

year

to

try

and

become

better

people

．

We

can

do

this

whenever

we

like

．

The

milestone

of

a

new

term

is

just

a good place to start.

Sometimes it' s difficult to

take the first

step in achieving newly

set goals,

but

an old saying

is

half-way there

．

I

agree

with this

because

taking

on

a

new

task

or

changing

habits

can

seem

daunting

at

first,

but

once

we

begin,

they get easier

．

For example, spending less time on QQ or playing video games and

more

time

studying

or

communicating

face-to-face

can

be

difficult

habits

to

change

at

first

．

But

once

we

settle

into

the

new

routine

and

start

to

see

the

results, it'

s difficult not to wonder why we didn’t

do it sooner.

The

trick

with

deciding

on

a

resolution

for

a

new

term

is

not

to

set

unrealistic

targets. If we do this, it's easy to lose motivation because the end goal seems so

far

away.

Try

to

make

many

small

goals

you

want

to

reach

on

the

way

to

your

ultimate< /p>

（最终的）

goal. This way, you can see your progress easily.

Which

of

the

following

might

the

according

．

D. All roads lead to Rome

（坚持）

your dreams
