Rodin says, “Beauty is everywhere. For our eyes, it is not the lack of beauty, but the lack of discovery.” Beauty is one of the     1     (great) things in the world. People all love beautiful things like the flowers in spring, the     2     (leaf) in autumn and all other things that have interested them.

But people have different senses of beauty. A cleaner may think the clean street is the most beautiful.     3     inventor may think the latest invention is the most beautiful. A traveler may think some clean water to save his thirsty throat and wash his tired feet is the most beautiful. If you are not them, it may be hard     4     (understand) why. So beautiful things mean what people expect most.

People     5     (most) think it’s not easy to get the beautiful things they expect. In fact, it’s not so difficult to find beautiful things. They are everywhere around us in our life. The people who are good at     6     (find) beauty are those who love life.     7     they love life, they think everything is good enough. They always try to find beauty instead     8     ugliness. They watch everything with their hearts so that they often find special beauty. And they also make others see the beauty of the world.

We can’t tell people to change     9     (they) senses of beauty, but we can share our senses of beauty. Then we can make more such beauty together. Therefore, our world     10     (be) more beautiful and peaceful in the future, for nobody will destroy beauty if we can feel it.

【推荐1】I’m Nancy and I’m Chinese. I am     1     middle school student in Canada. But because of the COVID-19（新冠肺炎）, I study in my country now and have online（线上的）classes. The teachers in Canada give us lessons.     2    （they）classes are very interesting and I learn a lot. There     3    （be）five lessons every day.     4     my favourite lesson is English. My English teacher often     5    （show）us cat memes（表情包）and plays ukulele（尤克里里）in her class.

It’s not easy for me to go online because the time is different in different countries. I have to sit at my     6    （father）computer from 9 o’clock in the evening to 3 o’clock in the morning. It’s bad     7     my eyes and my mom asks me to eat a lot of carrots, eggs and drink some     8    （orange）. Luckily, we     9    （not have）too much homework, so we have more time to do sports, such as running and swimming. I think doing these sports can make me very     10    （health）.

I hope everything goes well soon.

When I was young, my mum used to give the family something special for meals—she would make breakfast food     1     dinner.

I still remember one night my mum put some burnt (烤焦的) bread in front of my dad. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his bread, smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me     2     my day at school was. I’ve     3     what I told him that night. But I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He     4     it up as usual, every single bit.

After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I love burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all.”

Later that night, I asked him     5     he really liked his bread burnt. He said, “Your mum works very     6     all day. She’s really tired. And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurts anyone!”

Now I know life is not perfect. Nobody is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned     7     important over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a     8     and wife, a parent and child or just between two friends. This is     9     key to a happy life. So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember burnt bread never hurts anyone. Be kind to those around you and a     10     life will surely come close to you. Our life will be better and better.
