1 . Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X rayed. After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat with pleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. “But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

4 . Francis and Roberta Doiron, a couple married 72 years, spent more than a year apart due to COVID—19. Now, they are finally reunited.
Francis and Roberta Doiron have a love that lasts. But due to COVID—19, Francis was unable to visit his wife in her nursing home, and the two have been physically apart for over a year.
“I went there every day,” Francis says while being interviewed at his house. “I saw her from 6:30 in the morning to 6:30 at night. 7 days a week.”
And the couple’s separation has been increasingly hard for them. “She’s losing her memory more often because I’m not there,” says Francis about Roberta.
They have been able to use FaceTime over the last year to communicate. But for a couple married 72 years, it is still not the same as being in the same room as your sweetheart.
Thankfully, after a year apart, the couple is finally able to reunite in person! With both of them being fully vaccinated (接种疫苗), the two were able to have such a sweet and emotional reunion at Roberta’s nursing home. And Francis can now visit her regularly. “I’m getting to hoping that once I get to see her more often, I can bring her memory back,” he says.
And after sharing their first hug in a while and holding hands next to each other, Francis is hopeful about the future and things to come.
“Things aren’t that bad,” he says. “There is a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Among the things what have happened to me, there is one that I will never forget.
One Saturday, I invited Eric my house. Unfortunate, I was bitten by my dog. Then the wound started to bleed. After apply pressure to the area with a clean bandage, Eric cleaned my wound with soap and water under running water for at least 5 minute. Therefore, the wound didn’t stop bleeding after 10 minutes of direct pressure. At that urgent moment, he send me to the nearest hospital for further treatment. The doctor thought highly of my action.
I was so grateful to him. And from this unforgettable experience, I realized the important of first aid. So, to help myself out and save others, I have learned some knowledge about first aid after that.
7 . One day while shopping, Jeny saw a plastic pearl necklace priced at $2.50. She asked her mother if she would buy it for her. Her mother said, “Well.it is a pretty necklace, but it costs a lot of money. I’ll buy you the necklace, unless you can do a list of housework to pay for the necklace.”
Jenny agreed, she worked at home very hard every day and soon she had paid off the pearls. She wore them everywhere to kindergarten, bed and even when she went out with her mother.
Jenny had a very loving daddy. He read Jenny her favorite story when Jenny went to bed. One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, do you love me?” “Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you,” the little girl said. “Well, then, give me your pearls.” “Oh! Daddy, not my pearls!” Jenny said. “But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. You gave her tome last year for my birthday. And you can have her, Okay?” “Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father touched her cheek with a kiss. “Good night, little one.”
A week later, her father once again asked Jenny the same question, but he was still refused.
Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. “Here, Daddy,” she said, and held out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father’s hand.
With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue box. Inside the box were real, beautiful pearls. He had had them all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap stuff so he could give her the real thing.
