Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be ① _________. They will never be the same as before. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don’t be afraid of making ②__________ . It is by correcting them that we know what is right. Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings (翅膀). Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going. Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily. Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
Yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Balance the five balls in your life and try to enjoy them!

【推荐1】Although many people read online, books have not gone out of fashion. In Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai, lucky passengers may find books somewhere on the underground.
The Fair, an online publishing company（出版公司）, has put over 10,000 books on the underground, planes and taxis to make people more interested in reading. This project is called “Mobook”.
“Mobook” gets its idea from “Books on the Underground”, a community project in London. The purpose of “Books on the Underground” is to encourage people to read more. Zhang Wei, the CEO of The Fair also wanted to do something in China. He sent an e-mail to Ms. Cordelia Oxley, the leader of “Books on the Underground”, describing his plan and explaining the rules of “Mobook”. The leader replied to him in just two hours, saying that she thought the idea was great and she would offer help if needed.
But “Mobook” project is a little different from that in London. It has its own online system. People who want to donate（捐赠）books must give their information online. QR code stickers（二维码标签）are then sent to their addresses. The book owners should stick (A) them on the books before donating books and readers can know where the books are from with the help of QR codes.

5. Ask ONE question about the passage with How, Who, What, Why…?
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money, it is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chance to challenge yourself. ________ you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

Secondly, you must have a regular and sound sleep. It relaxes the eye muscles and gives them the rest required. Sleep can help the body to repair its tired tissues(组织). Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. If you don’t have enough sleep, dark circles will appear under your eyes.
Next, it’s necessary for you to exercise eyes every day. Blink(眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs watery, and gives them a good wash.
