“We live to work or we work to live” is a very famous question. The society is moving faster and no one has the time to think about whether the way we follow is the best solution. In fact, it’s hard to solve the problem: the balance(平衡) between work and personal life.
Maybe you say you don’t want to have a personal life. You want to work all the time to devote(奉献) yourself to your work. Before doing this, you’d better ask yourself, do you want to have a family?
The perfect example that shows the idea is Steve Jobs. He decided that no matter how rich he was or how nice it was to stay with his family, it’s more important to be creative and to bring new technologies. It’s clear that he gave up his personal life. People all over the world are thankful to him, but what about his family?
In my opinion, although work is important, we do need our personal life, such as family, friends and parties. We still need to work. And we should try our best to work well. But do remember that work is only one part of our life. Just like we need a balanced diet, we also need a balance between work and life.

This afternoon, China’s Shenzhou-13 crew members Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu livestream (直播) the first science class from the country’s space station. It surprises many students on Earth.
The class starts at 3: 40 p.m. (Beijing Time) and lasts about 45 minutes. 1, 420 primary and middle school students take the class from five classrooms across China.
At the beginning of the class, Wang, the first female taikonaut (女航天员) to enter China’s space station, shows their bedrooms and toilet, a kitchen, and the area where they do scientific experiments (实验). In the kitchen, she shows a microwave, a water dispenser (饮水机) and a mini-refrigerator to the students. To answer a Hong Kong student’s question about water, Wang says the water they drink is recycled (循环). There is no difference in taste between regular and recycled water.
Ye and Wang then tell the students that people can’t walk in space like they do on the ground because of the low gravity (重力).

Practice makes perfect. And the Jackson boys practiced! Soon the group was much better than others. When the Jacksons took their first professional (专业的) job, their total pay was only five dollars! But they kept on. They played at important parties. They entered big competitions. They worked at various clubs. Five Jackson boys first performed together at a talent show when Michael was six,and they walked off with the first prize. Then name of this group began to get around.
When Michael was only 11 years old, he became the star. The young boy rose to become the “King of Pop”. Later on, Michael got a chance to do some solo (独唱) songs. He made his first solo album (唱片) in 1972. It just didn’t seem possible that so much talent could come from such a young performer. For the following years, Michael was always on the top among the popular singers. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million.
When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his acting career. “I plan to star in movies,” he told his friends, “but of course, my first love is music”. Michael wrote a lot of his own songs. Whatever he did, it worked! Still, with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm. “I just do a different job from other people,” he said, “but it doesn’t make me think I’m better than other people,” For anyone who wants to be successful, the road to success is a long hard one to travel.
In 1994, Michaelmarried Lisa Marie, but the marriage ended in 1996. He married Debbie Rowe the same year and had two children. The couple never lived together after 1999. Jackson had three children named Prince Michael I, Paris Michael and Prince Michael II. Michael Jackson died after suffering a heart attack. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over forty years.
