Mike was an 11-year-old boy. He was the only son to his parents. His father was a carpenter and his mother was a housewife. Although they weren't rich, they led a happy life.

Mike’s school was located a mile away from his home. Mike’s birthday was coming in a week. He requested his father to buy him a bicycle so that he could go to school by bicycle. His father also promised to buy him a bicycle so that he needn't walk to school anymore. Mike felt so happy.

The birthday boy woke up happily with his parents wishing him with all smiles. He was glad and expected that his father would gift him a bicycle. His father gave him a nicely-wrapped gift. Mike opened it and saw a set of books. Although he was a little unhappy as he did not receive a bicycle, he thanked his father. Mike’s father was depressed as he did not have enough money to buy Mike a bicycle. He promised to his son that he would buy him a bicycle soon.

After a week, when Mike was walking on his way to his home back from school, he saw a boy riding a bicycle. Mike felt that the bicycle was too small for the big boy. Suddenly, the boy crashed into a post around the corner and skidded (滑行) in the street. Mike rushed to him and recognized that the boy was his schoolmate, Sam.

4 . The owner of the gas station near my house posts daily inspirational quotes (引说）on a board, such as: "When you forgive ,you heal. When you let go,you grow."

Most of the quotes are thoughtful ,but one quote was,for me, an entirely new thought: "Be who you needed when you were young."

Is the quote suggesting we should be that kind of person we needed when we were young-for ourselves? Or that we should do it for our children and grandchildren and other young people we meet?

Maybe we should do it for all of us, both young and old ?

Why would I choose to give so much thought to a quote from a gas station board? Sometimes when my train of thought leaves the station,I just have to jump on board and see where it takes me. I've been riding this train for days, thinking about a person I needed when I was young.

My mother worked at a factory.One day when I was 12, I came home from school and found her drinking iced tea with the prettiest lady   I had ever seen . "Hello,child!” said the woman, cupping my face in her hands.

Her name was May, and she smiled a lot.

She was my mother's friend,but she became my role model, a friend whose advice I could always trust.

I soon began spending as much time as possibly could with May.I told her everything: my hopes and fears and especially all the things I didn't know.

I watched how she listened and encouraged and never spoke ill of anyone,even if they deserved it.How she was always kind to everyone ! She was a wise woman of faith and grace.

I wanted to be like her.

After I left home for college,May moved away and I never heard of her again.

Thanks to a quote from a gas station board I thought of my friend May, someone I needed when I was young and still hope to be like.

We don't always mirror people we admire.But remembering them reminds us to keep trying.

Today is Sunday. The sky is full of sunshine, so does my life. At about 9:00 a.m., I go to the bookstore with my friends. There was a lot of new books. I didn’t know what one to buy because these books were all useful to me. At 10:00, we went to cinema. The film was called Titanic but some people were waiting outside the booking office. It took to us about 3 hours to see it. Having seen the film, everyone was deeply moving. Some of my friends even burst out tears. From the story, I understand that love is noble and valuable. That’s a really wonderful film. It is very worth seeing again.

What a happy day! I hope tomorrow I will be happier!

6 . First thing in the morning, I check the social networking website Facebook, only to see how I’ve already fallen behind. A workmate has written a new book. Two of my     1     (hero) have completed a big project. One of my old college friends posted a video for an online program she     2     (take)at the moment. She looks successful, shiny and     3     (charm) while I’m still in bed, bleary-eyed.

Am I really falling behind? Did these people post any of these things     4     (make) me feel bad? Of course not. But if I'm not careful, it's    5     (terribl) easy to see social media as     6     reminder of all the things i'm not doing and dreams I'm not fulfilling.

But     7     isn't a social media problem. It's a comparison problem. it's all about how I think about it.

And I know it's not just me. Our culture is full of comparisons, and it's hard not to look around     8     what other people are doing with their short time, and ask, "What about me?"

But all these years I've learned one thing: don't compare your insides with someone else's outsides. You have no idea     9     it took for other people to get where they are. Don't act as if it was effortless or pure luck. it's much     10     (easy) to look at someone "up there" and be jealous of what they have than to be happy for them and make yours better.
