For some US college students, a break from school is a time to volunteer to help communities in need. They take school sponsored (赞助)trips to do voluntary work.

This spring break, I had the opportunity to go on one of these     1    (trip), and it was the best week of my entire life. I went with 12 other students and two adults down to Rocky Mount, North Carolina in the US. We worked on three houses，     2    (build)roofs, painting, and landscaping.

    3    was very rewarding to see how much we were     4    (true)appreciated by the people living in that town.

To Be Joyful, To Be Young

What really works to make sustainable changes in diet and lifestyle? It’s probably not what you think. In the past 30 years of conducting clinical research, I    1    (learn) that real keys are pleasure, joy and freedom. Joy of living is sustainable; fear of dying is not.

Why? Because life is to be enjoyed. There’s no point    2    (abandon) something you enjoy unless you get something back that’s even better, and quickly. When people eat more healthfully,    3    (quit) smoking, and manage stress better, they find they feel so much better, so quickly. It reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.

When you exercise and eat right, your brain receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many neurons(神经细胞)    4     (grow) that it actually increased the size of people’s brains!

Your face receives more blood flow, so your skin glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, lasting emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face     5    you age more quickly. Smoking speeds up aging because nicotine contributes to your blood vessel becoming narrower,    6    decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle prematurely. This is why smokers look years older than they really are.

One of the most interesting findings was that the mothers’ awareness of stress was more important than     7    was objectively occurring in their lives.    8    (give) a questionnaire, the women were asked to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day. The women who realized they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres(染色体端粒) compared with     9    who felt more relaxed. Contrarily, some of the women who felt relaxed     10    raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres.

In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. When he     1    (ask) why he was able to succeed, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with     2     mother when he was about two years old. “I was trying to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and it fell, spilling (溢出) the milk all over the floor-a sea of milk! I got     3     (frighten) and I didn’t know what to do!” he said.

Instead of     4    (punish) him, his mother asked him to play in the milk for a while. Then she said, “ You know, we failed in how to     5    (successful) carry a big milk bottle with two tiny     6    (hand) just now. Let’s go out in the yard and fill the bottle     7     water to see if you can discover a way to carry it.”

This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he     8    (know) he didn’t need

to be afraid to make mistakes     9     were actually opportunities for learning something new. Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually learn something     10    (value) from it

One day, when I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked her down. “Move out of the way,” I said impatiently. She walked away, and her little heart was     1     (break). I didn’t realize     2     rudely I’d spoken.

When I     3     (lie) awake in bed, God’s small voice came to me and said, “While     4     (deal) with a stranger, you use common politeness, but the children you love, you seem to abuse. Look at the kitchen floor, and those are the flowers she brought for you.”

By this time, my tears began to fall. I quietly went and sat by her bed. “Are these the flowers you picked     5     me? I’m so sorry.” I said. She smiled, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you anyway.” I said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers,     6     (especial) the blue.”

You should be aware that if we were to die tomorrow, the family we left behind would feel the loss for     7     rest of their lives. And come to think about it, we devote     8     (us) more to work than to our family-an     9     ( wise) decision indeed. So, what is behind the story? Fill life with love and     10     ( brave ), and we shall live a happy life.

We want our children to succeed in school and, perhaps even more importantly, in life. But the paradox(悖论) is that our children can only truly succeed     1     they first learn how to fail. Consider the finding that world-class figure skaters fall over more often in practice than low-level figure skaters. Why are the really good skaters falling over the most?

The reason is actually quite simple. Top skaters are constantly challenging themselves in practice.     2     (stretch) their limitations, they keep trying their best. They fall over so often, but it is precisely why they learn so fast. Lower-level skaters have a quite different approach. They are always attempting jumps they can already do very easily,     3     (remain) within their comfort zone. This is why they don’t fall over. In a superficial sense, they look successful, because they are always on their feet. Never     4     (fail) in practice prevents them from making progress.

    5     is true of skating is also true of life. James Dyson worked through 5,126 prototypes (原型) for his newest vacuum before coming up with the design     6     made his fortune. These failures were essential to the pathway of learning. As Dyson put     7    : “You can’t develop new technologyunless you test new ideas and learn when things go wrong. Failure is essential to invention.”

In healthcare, however, things are very different. Clinicians don’t like to admit to failure, partly because they have strongegos (自我) —particularly the senior doctors—and partly because they fear litigation (诉讼). The consequence is that     8     learning from failure, healthcare often covers up failure. The direct consequence is that the same mistakes     9     (repeat). According to the Journal of Patient Safety, 400,000 people die every year in American hospitals alone due to preventable error.     10     healthcare learns to respond positively to failure, things will not improve.

Barditch High School decided to hold an All-School Reunion．Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years,    1    (wheel) to the Park．

Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声) when Ms．Yates was about to speak．Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers    2    (combine)．

Then Ms. Yates started to speak:

“I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here．I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I     3    (follow) your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as cried for your tragedies．I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students.     4    I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination.”

Ms. Yates then stopped    5    (cry) a bit before she continued:

“It was my belief     6     if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and     7    would succeed to annoy me．Regardless of our motives, I     8     see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”

“There is no    9    (great) comfort for an educator than to see the result of his or her years of work．You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”

There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar. Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all     10    the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown．

Wi-Fi is a word which has its own little brother in the form of a complex password which, no matter how hard you try, you can never guess.
