Working as a vet (兽医), I met a family who taught me an unforgettable lesson. They came to my clinic with their dying dog Coco. I examined Coco and found he was old and had a serious illness. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Coco, and euthanasia (安乐死) would be best for the dog.
On that day, they little boy Eric seemed so calm , petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on.
The little boy seemed to accept Coco’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Coco's death, explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Eric, who had been listening quietly, piped up: "I know why."
He said, "People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right?" The six-year-old continued, "Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."
I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short. It has changed the way I live. I see everyday as the day that my life could be easily taken away, so I try to live my life to the fullest.

Ancient China produced many types of beautiful works of art. Among them, calligraphy (书法), poetry (诗歌) and painting were the most famous. Often they would be put together in art. These became important starting with the Song Dynasty.

There are many inventions that have caused great changes in the world. Here is a short introduction of the maglev train (磁悬浮). The history of the maglev train started in the beginning of the 1900s. The American Robert Goddard and the French Emile Bachelet came up with the idea of frictionless (无摩擦的) trains. But scientist didn’t succeed in making it at that time.

About 60 years later, the Japanese started their research on maglev transportation. After many years of experiments, the Japanese began to build their first test line. 7 km in 1975, and finished it in 1977. Many test runs started in July, 1977 with a speed of 517 km/h. In 1990, Japan built the Yamanashi Maglev test line. This test line was 42.8 km long and the first running test was held in 1997.

The Germans also started research on the maglev train in the early 1970s. It took them ten years to make the first track(ti)model. In 1993, the longest nonstop test running was 1,674 km. That same year the speed reached 450km/h.

China finished a 30-km-long maglev train line in Shanghai in 2003. This is the first commercial (商业的) maglev train line in the world. Although this project cost over 1 billion dollars, we should feel proud of it.

The famous Russian writer Lea Tolstoy (托尔斯泰) once said, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing h    56    .

He was right. We always plan or dream to do something great so that we can change the world. For example, we h    57     pollution, so we try to find new energy sources (能源) to keep the environment clean. H    58    , we still litter on the ground in our lives. Also, we are not satisfied with the traffic, so we plan to build more highways to s    59     it, but in fact, the main reason for it is that many people don’t f    60     the traffic rules.

Now, lots of students always think their homework is very difficult and they find it hard to pass exams. In their eyes, the p    61     on papers are too difficult. But actually, the real r    62     is that they don’t study hard. They never think about changing their attitudes (态度) t    63     study or working hard on their lessons.

In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we should change ourselves first. As c    64     people, it is not easy for us to change the world, but we can easily give up our bad habits, such as littering, breaking traffic rules and always complaining (抱怨) about how difficult the exam is. If we can do that, we’ll be strong e    65     to change the world some day and make it!
