Jim, a successful businessman, told an experience of his childhood.

When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t ________ others. No one showed kindness to him. People always laughed ________ him. His only friend was a dog named Bobby. He ________ his dog enough to eat and drink, but he was a little rude(粗鲁的) to it sometimes.

One day when he was going down the street, he saw a young lady walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her ________ dropped(掉落) from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. Jim came to help ________. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” The lady said kindly and ________, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. He had ________ heard such kind words before. He watched her until she went far away. He was so ________ that he whistled(吹口哨) to his dog.

“Thank you? dear! You are a nice little boy!” He repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low ________ he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Bobby raised its ears. It seemed that the dog had understood ________ he said, “Even a dog likes it!” he thought.

“Well, Bobby, I won’t say unkind words to you anymore.” he said. Bobby waved its tails happily. Later, they went directly to the river nearby. When he ________ at the riverside, he looked at himself in the river. He saw ________ but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. After that, he saw a nice ________ boy. From then on, he started a new life.

After telling this ________, the businessman stopped for a while. Then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, it was that kind woman who planted the first seed of kindness in me. All of us ________learn about kindness. What great power it has!”

Online classes in space got lots of attention among Chinese students. The “classroom” in space station is about 400 kilometers away from the earth. The space classes make the young be proud of our country. As a special “teacher”, Wang Yaping is regarded as “the most beautiful astronaut”.

Wang Yaping was born in a small village in Shandong in 1980. She studied hard all those years. She was good at all subjects, especially sports. Luckily, in 1997, she was accepted by the Air Force, Changchun Flight Academy.

Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?” At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights for 1,600 hours during nine years in the training center, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人) to become an astronaut in 2010. In 2013, Wang realized her space dream. She was sent to space by Shenzhou-10. She joined the team of Shenzhou-13 in 2021 and flew into the space for the second time.

However, it is difficult to be an astronaut. She has to experience a lot of pain that most people can’t stand and keep training all the time. Wang Yaping told Xinhua, “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman.” She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including the pull-ups and barbells (杠铃). That finally made her dream come true.

“You are on the way to success as long as you stick to your dreams.” Wang Yaping said. She set a good example to the young. Millions of students are encouraged and inspired by the most beautiful astronaut.

Sometimes we may forget something easily. Don’t worry. If you want to have a good memory, please follow me.     40    

My first advice is that if you want to remember something well, you have to review it regularly (有规律地). After you learn the material, you need to review it right away, then two days later, then a week later, then two weeks later, and then a month later.     41    

My second advice is to mark the important parts of your book. This will help you in two ways. On the one hand, it will help you concentrate on (专注于) the most important parts. It is always easier to remember only the key points.     42     When you open your book, the colored parts will show you the most important parts at once. In this way, you needn’t read every word again.

    43     One good time for memorizing information is in the evening. Review what you have learnt before going to bed. It will be kept in your mind deeply. The other good time is in the morning because you have just rested and your brain is fresh and clear.     44    

Remember all the advice above, and your memory will be better and better.
