1 . Life can be busy or stressful at times. Usually, we forget how important it is to listen ourselves.
Sparing room for good things in your life
Life gets much simpler and more enjoyable when you clear your physical and emotional bad things. And there’s so much you can let go of in life without losing a thing. It’s called growth.
Putting your purpose and passion (热情) into the things you do
All the small things make a big difference. Every step is important. Life isn’t about a single moment of great success. It’s about the trials and errors (试错) that slowly get you there—the sweat, tears, and all the small things you do on a day-to-day basis. They all matter in the end—every step, every regret and every decision.
A.Choosing to start today |
B.Not into tomorrow’s chances |
C.Remembering that every step matters |
D.Letting go of the old makes way for the new |
E.So what you need to remember most right now is to share |
F.Purpose is the reason you journey and passion is the fire that lights your way |
G.Here below are some things in life that you have to keep on doing to change that |

3 . “Have you checked the oil in the car?” my father used to say to me, his version of “Hello, hope you are well.” Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an inquiry about the oil and end with an inquiry about the oil, with not a lot in between.
Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often supplied through the medium of practical advice. The affectionate phrase “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be rarely heard, but there is the more common “I’ll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof.”
Why can’t we fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you” ? The point is: That’ s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase “I love you” can be heard in the lengthier “I could come around Saturday and replace the silicon seal around the base of your toilet because I reckon that thing is getting really smelly.”
When I was 17, I went on my first road trip. My father stood on the corner in the predawn of a cold morning to bid us farewell. “Highways are dangerous,” he said, “so don’t try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was funny and would chant “horse-and-buggy” every time I floored the accelerator.
Dad’s long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I’d have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked was simply Dad’s attempt at affection.
1. According to the passage, how do fathers usually show their affection?A.By inquiring their kids’ car. | B.By doing rather than saying. |

Dear Li Hua,
It's been a year since I went back from China. I miss you so much and always miss the beautiful days spend together. It was from you who I got so much help and comfortable.
Still remember that day two years before? I suddenly fall ill, and you were the one carried me on your back to a nearby hospital. You took good care of us while I was having an injection. How grateful I am to you!
Wish you good lucks and may our friendship will last till the end of the universe!
Yours,
Anne
