Over the past 20 years, I have watched the Lion King for more than a dozen of times．

When I first watched the movie, the _________ of Mufasa's death made me﹣a six﹣year﹣old girl at that time﹣cry, and since then, I have always skipped（跳过） that part．Later on, during my middle﹣school years, I liked the love story part a lot, and Simba and Nala were really a _________ couple in my heart．Every time I watched the movie, I felt _________．

Recently, I've watched the Lion King again.This time, what impressed me most was the_________of Pumbaa and Timon﹣they were ordinary and lived an ordinary life．Before joining Simba to regain his kingdom,   all about their life were eating and singing．

To me, the best lesson that Pumbaa and Timon have taught us is that_________ they know they are ordinary and their life is ordinary, they still love and enjoy it．

In fact, in the real world, only quite a few people can achieve great things and become extraordinary, and the rest of us will just live our _________ life．

A sentence in an article recommended by the Fair（WeChat Subscription）___________me: by hard work, ordinary people only fight for the right to_________ their ordinary life in the ordinary world．It is cruel, but it is true（at least in my opinion）．

The best solution is to accept and enjoy it．I know it's_________ but this is a part of growing up．I'm not saying that we should not have great dreams,   after all,   just as Vince Lombardi has said, "Perfection is not attainable （可达到的）, but if we chase perfection we can ____________ excellence"．However, I just think we should get ____________ if our great dreams would never come true．

I also dreamt about becoming extraordinary at a young age, same as most of my fellow classmates in primary school．In the senior high school, I was no longer one of the top students, and then, for the very first time, I realized that maybe I couldn't be extraordinary．

Now, I'm well aware that I'm no more than an ordinary person but I'm ____________with that I went to an ordinary university and got my BA in English, and then to another ordinary university and received my MA in translation．Doing the editor's job, I now earn myself a life in Shanghai, such an expensive metropolitan city to live in．

I can't ____________ Michael Kors or Issey Miyake, but I have comfortable clothes which fit me well．I usually go out dinner with a couple of friends on weekends,   not fancy of first class restaurants but sidewalk café or common restaurants where we know there are delicious food and nice ____________．

I consider this not the passive acceptance, but a（n）optimistic attitude of turning "this is life" to "this is the life"．But all in all, I still have ____________, just in case they would become true one day．

Yes, be ordinary and be happy．

You cannot go without a pencil when writing or drawing something. You have probably noticed letters H and B printed on your pencil. What, for example, do HB, 3H and 3B mean?
Those are letters showing the hardness or the lead(铅) or graphite(石墨) in a pencil. H refers to hard lead, The bigger the Arabic number before the letter H, the harder the lead, and the lighter will be the colour. The hardest pencil has 6H on it. Such pencils are often used in making engineering drawing. People seldom write with them. B stands for soft lead. The bigger the number before the letter B, the softer the lead, and the darker will be the colour, the softest being the 6B pencil. Such pencils are used by artists.
The HB pencil has a lead core(芯) that is neither too soft nor too hard. Its colour is medium(中等的) in its blackness. It is most suitable for ordinary writing and drawing.

Mum, I love you so much!

" he asked．The assistant（店员）was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen（一打）．Maybe he would be happy with carnations（康乃馨）.

"No, I have to have red roses, " he said．"My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her．Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as the rose is her favourite".

After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man．Moved by both of them, the assistant said, "What a lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you．" Taking the roses,   the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop．It was well worth twenty﹣five dollars that John paid to see the exciting moment．Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother．

As he walked out, he felt nice．Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park．But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery（墓地）．Crying, the young man carefully put down the roses, "Mum, oh, Mum, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you?

October the 16th is World Food Day，a day of action against hunger．The UN started the day in 1979．The day hopes to raise public awareness of many food﹣related problems and end hunger someday．

Over the past twenty years or so，we have seen a great reduction of people living with hunger．Back then，about one in six people went to bed hungry most nights．Now it's about one in every nine．However，that still leaves some 795，000 thousand hungry people around the world．Sadly，the victims of hunger are mostly women and children．Nearly 5 million children under the age of 5 die of malnutrition﹣related（营养不良的）causes each year．

What's causing food shortages？First，there are more droughts（干旱）and floods．The farmers suffer crop failures because of weather．Also，with the growing population，feeding everyone becomes more difficult．There are about seven billion people in the world．By 2050，the world population will be more than nine billion．Another big problem is food waste．According to the UN，more than one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year．

Would you believe that we waste enough food each year to feed more than one billion people？It's time to get serious about cutting down on food waste．In Chinese restaurants，many times，over﹣ordering，leads to unnecessary waste．So，don't overorder．If you've stored more food than what you can use，why not donate it to the food banks？

World Food Day shouldn't be the only day we act．It is about zero hunger．Let's work together!

World Food Day﹣a day about zero hunger
The UN's    71    to start this day	To make people aware of many food﹣related problems．To call on people to fight against hunger．
World hunger problems	The number of people living with hunger has gone     72    ． Most victims of hunger are women and children． Many young children die of malnutrition﹣related causes．
73     of food shortage	Natural disasters lead to crop failures． A growing population makes it more difficult to feed everyone． One third of the    74     food is wasted each year．
Ways to reduce	Only    75    as much as you can eat at a restaurant． Donate what you can't eat to the food banks．
