A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy heard footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”

What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”

Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day but the boy could not because he was blind.

So be thankful for what you have! And please remember, be creative and learn to think differently. There is always a better way.

Is it better to shower at night or in the morning? Personally, I do both, but which is the best way to go? Let’s have a look and see...

Shower at night

You’ll wash off the dirty of the day. If you’re out all day and sweaty or taking exercise, you should shower before going to bed.

You’ll have a better sleep, too. Several studies have shown that taking a shower in the evening and at least 90 minutes before sleep will allow your body to heat up and cool down in time for a better sleep. It will relax your body and get you ready for sleep.

You’ll have better skin. Your skin grows at night. A full-body shower at night will make it much easier for your skin to keep the dead skin cells away.

Shower in the morning

It sets up your day. You wake up half asleep, still tired... Coffee doesn’t seem to be working, so why don’t you take a shower instead? It can wake you up and help you get your head in the game.

It is great for morning exercisers. Also, if you work out in the morning, a shower can help you warm up your body.

It helps your skin. You can wash off all the oil and sweat during your sleep and feel fresh and clean all day. A morning shower can make your skin in better health and make you feel more confident.

So, the conclusion is: here’s not a huge difference in whether you decide to shower at night or in the morning. Whatever makes you feel better, that’s what you should do.

Shower at night or shower in the morning?
Showering at night	It can take off the dirt picked up in the day so that you can be clean and feel fresh. It can help you sleep better because it will make your body relaxed and     1     you for sleep. It’s good for your skin because it keeps the skin cells     2    .

Drowning (溺水) is among the 10 leading causes of death of children and young people in every place of the world. Tragedies (悲剧) are happening over and over again. To prevent them from growing further, we need to keep some safety tips in mind.

•Drowning ≠ Crying for help.

Drowning is often not as dramatic (引人注目的) as what we see in movies. (74题. 翻译句子) When someone is drowning, especially if it is a child, he may not be able to shout out. A lot of times when kids drown, it looks like they are just absent-minded—but they are actually going unconscious (无意识的). At this point, they should be immediately carried out of the water.

•Life jackets can save your life.

Don’t use air-filled or foam (泡沫）toys, such as “water wings”, “noodles”, instead of life jackets. These toys are not life jackets and can not keep swimmers safe well.

•Don’t try to save drowning friends.

This is not when you should show your love to your drowning friends and family members. It is very likely that you can get yourself into danger, and might end up becoming a drowning victim (受害者) yourself.

Saving someone drowning hand-in-hand with a few others can be even more dangerous. The “human chain” you form can easily break if one of you experiences any kind of tiredness, and one person can knock down the whole team.

•Know who can save a life.

Now, knowing that you can not really save a life, who should you ask for help? Lifeguards. They are usually well-trained and are equipped (装备) with many tested life-saving methods. Therefore, if you think you see someone drowning, call a lifeguard at once, even if you’re not sure what drowning looks like or think you might be wrong.

2. Why not try to save drowning friends hand-in-hand with a few others?

3. Who should you ask for help when you see someone is drowning?
