We spent holidays with our uncle.He loved to go on walks to collect stones.One day,he bought us backpacks(背包) and asked us to go to the mountain with him and carry the stones.
The whole day we walked around.Every now and then he put stones in our bags.To our surprise,he also took some stones out from our bags.But we thought he had just found better stones.
When we returned to the house,we were very tired.The backpacks were so heavy that we felt relaxed when we put them down.But uncle's backpack was half empty.
"Why did you put so many stones into our backpacks?"we asked.
"I didn't.You did."He said."You didn't know it,but I gave you a test today.I listened to every word you said.Whenever you were complaining(抱怨),I added a stone to your bags.Whenever you talked about something with positive(积极的) thinking,I took out a stone.And now look at your backpacks."Our backpacks were full of stones.
Your negative(消极的) thoughts are like stones.You carry themin your mind just like those stones in a backpack.The more negative thoughts,the heavier your mind.

There was a man who had four sons.He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly.So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.
The first son went in the winter,the second in the spring,the third insummer,and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back,he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly.The second son said no; it was covered with green leaves,and full of hope.The third son disagreed.He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful,it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen.The last son disagreed with all of them,he said there was lots of fruit in the tree,full of life and harvest(收获).
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right,but they had each seen only one season in the tree's life.He told them"You cannot judge a tree,or a person by only one season and its true nature﹣the pleasure,joy,and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end,when all the seasons are up."
If you give up when it's winter,you will miss the promise of your spring,the beauty of your summer,harvest of your fall.Don't let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

I still remembered my first day of second grade.I was led to a room.No teacher yet.Girls talking.Boys trying to kill each other.
I took some paper and a pencil,picked a desk,and went to work.Minutes later,a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.
"What're you doing?"she said.
"Writing to 100,"I replied.
"Is that you can do?"
"No,"I said.
Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener.I had no idea that when I stood,the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.
Her name was Jane.From that day on﹣﹣she was my best friend.Wherever we went﹣﹣to school or church or basketball games,Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.
Many years later,after college,I moved to California and married.Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker.We were friends for more than 50years.After her death seven years ago,I still think of her often,especially at the start of the school year.
TV ads try to tell us what children need for school﹣new shoes,clothes,backpacks.But really,children's needs are simple.Besides the basics﹣to be fed,cared for,and loved﹣they need the gift of friendship.
For years,I feared how people saw me.But one day,I finally understood.I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular.I just needed to be kind.
My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a prize for "Friendship".Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved.They need to know that they have all they need and the best way to win friends is to be one.
40.When she came into the classroom,the writer .

Even though I just had lunch not long ago,I was felling hungry again.I went for something to eat.That was when I discovered the pudding in the fridge.It was made from milk,sugar,eggs and fruits,and it looked so yummy.I noticed that there was only one left.
I was putting the pudding on a plate when my brother came into the kitchen.He found the pudding and asked for it."It's mine!I was the only one who found it!"I shouted."You are my elder brother,You should give it to me!"said he.Then he started pulling the plate towards himself and I did the same.
Suddenly,the plate moved to one side and the pudding slipped (滑动) out of the plate.It landed on the floor and turned into a yellow mess.My brother and I both looked at each other,feeling amazed and disappointed at the same time.It was such a waste!
To my surprise,Ollie,our pet dog,walked over to the mess on the floor.It began to lap up the pudding happily,Within minutes,the mess on the floor was gone.Ollie licked (舔) its lips when it was done.
After watching Ollie finishing the whole pudding by itself,we realized .If both of us had shared the pudding,we would both have got to eat half of it.It was because of our greed (贪婪) that we ended up with nothing.That day,my brother and I learnt a good lesson.

Everyone wants to find happiness.But sometimes looking for happiness can be as hard as looking for lost treasure.Just when you think you nearly reach it,something unexpected happens.This may puzzle(使困惑)you a lot.Here are some tips for helping you find happiness.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.If you depend on one thing or one person to make you happy,it may be impossible.You need to enlarge your circle of friends and activities.
Follow your heart.When we go against our own thoughts,we usually feel sad.Follow your strong feeling and let it guide you toward people and things that will improve your life.Day by day,you will be happier than before.
Organize your ideas.Many people push away happiness when they think too much.Don't keep everything in head.Try making a list of the things that seem too big to manage on your own.You may find the list isn't as long as you thought.You can do most of the things by yourself.
Look at your life as a whole.Most of the things that prevent us from feeling happy are just some little things.Remember life is always going on,and whatever the little thing is,it will end.
Remember your values(价值观).We all have a value system,a way we have decided to go through life,which makes us feel like a good person.The important thing is to remember your values when life becomes hard.Keeping your values strong will help create happiness.
Happiness can be hard to feel at times,so don't think there is something wrong with you if you don't feel it.The ways above will help you to feel more of it.

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son.He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months,the king came to see how the training was going.He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky,while the other was staying on the branch(树枝)of a tree quietly,just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly.But none of them succeeded.One day,while the king was taking a walk in the forest,an idea came to his mind.He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning,the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely."It is unbelievable!"shouted the king."How could you make it happen?"
The farmer replied,"It's very easy.I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested."
It's always the same to human beings.We all have"two flying wings"in our hearts as well,but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort.We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the"branch"we are resting on breaks.

Title:Inner voice helps a lot throughout our lives.

It justifies (判断) what is right and what is wrong.When we go against inner voice,we usually feel uncomfortable throughout our lives.
Sometimes when we are feeling sad,we seem to need some kind of support in spirit.We usually speak to our closest friend or our dearest family member during times of unhappiness to feel better.After talking to them,we suddenly feel active again,because our inner voice reminds us to get on with things and leave the things of the past in the memory.

Some people succeed,while others may not.This is because some people own certain qualities,which others don't have.If you want to be successful,you should have the following qualities at least.
The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed,you must be optimistic(乐观的).If you do not expect to win,you will not try as hard as those who do expect to win.You also need to have a clear purpose and a reason for doing something.If you do not have a purpose,you will not do your best to work hard and make sure that every detail you have done is right.
Reading is another thing to success,as it will help you learn about how other people have achieved success.If you want to learn how to set up a successful business,you should read books about like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang,who have achieved amazing success in their areas of business.
Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity﹣thinking about things differently and wondering how others will do the same thing.Think about some successful people you know.They might be successful with a little creativity,but the most successful people are the most creative ones.
Practicing is equally important if you want to succeed because practice make perfect.Practice every day at any career you are in,and by doing so,you will see yourself,your business and your self﹣confidence begin to grow.If you feed confident about what you do,this confidence will make other people believe in you more as well.Your workmates will be happy to work with you,and your boss will give you more important things to do.Finally if you succeed,you can look people in the eye and smile confidently.
Success is yours for the taking! Cheers!

Honesty is where a good friendship starts.Friends must be able to hones'one another.
