“Look! Do you know what it is? A-ha, it’s the ! And it will always move around the sun.” Mr. Chen said and pointed to his head. He then touched the nose and , “Can you tell me the name of this mountain? It is the highest mountain on Earth! What’s the of it? Yes, it’s 8844.43 metres…” I’ll never forget my first geography lesson. He was humorous that we all fell in love with his lessons . It’s Mr. Chen who opened the door of geography for us.

Happiness is for everyone, and you don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with and swimming pools or those who have nice cars a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in at school, your friends will help you; when you study at your lessons, your parents are always good care of your life and your health; when you get , your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel , too. All these are your happiness. If you notice those things, you can see that happiness is always you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are , you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes: Life is like a revolving(转动的)door. When it , it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

Jenny: I don't it's hard to say. I can drive a car at 16, can't I? When you have a driver's license, you can it to people to tell them your age for all kinds of things. sixteen must be the age when you change from a person to an adult. Because you can tell others you are not a any more.
Suzie: Well, I think there is wrong with American laws for when young people can things. I can vote at 18 and drive at 16. So you would think that 18 is a grown-up, 16 isn't. But then I can't drink wine until I'm 21! If I'm an adult at 18, how can people stop me from a cup of beer in a bar?

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together. As I older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (计分表) with the score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would drive his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The and the warmth from the bread made me hungry and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would attend all my games. One night before an important game my father told me that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour from his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium (体育场). He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, spirit and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day I started. I’ll always remember that!

One day, a boy found the cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped. So the boy to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be .He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole .The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it a little different.

Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And of course, he never said "I love you"to me, . Maybe it's a Chinese cultural(文化) thing, or maybe that's the way my dad was. But whenever I felt , defeated(被打败) or lonely, dad was always there. Dad was a man of words, but I always liked to talk to him, and I could always feel a very special connection(联系) to him.
