Once upon a time, there was a rich man. He loved his son very much. Because he wanted to make his son have a happy life, he decided to send him to see a smart old man for advice on happiness. When the old man knew about this, he gave the boy an empty bowl and asked him to go to the river and fill the bowl with water. "If no water is spilt (洒) when you come back, I will tell you about it."
The boy walked to the river and came back with a bowl of water. The old man asked him, "Did you notice the beautiful flowers along the road and the birds singing in the trees?" The boy could say nothing about them because he pay much attention to the bowl in his hands.

I caught a cold. It was really a bad cold. Actually, the doctor later told me that I had the flu (流感).
My head was pounding. My throat was hurting. My body was aching.My voice became hoarse and I could hardly speak.I never experienced anything like this before.Worst of all, my sore throat was so serious that I couldn't even swallow(吞咽)!
I knew I should drink more fluids﹣water, soup or juice ﹣ and maybe take some medicine. But I couldn't. Each time I tried to swallow, it hurt so much. So my dad took me to the hospital.
A doctor came in.He checked my throat.He then checked my lungs.After his examination,he said,"Nothing to worry about. You have the flu."
"Why is it so serious?" I asked."Can you give me some medicine so that I don't suffer as much?"
"No," the doctor said."No medicine can cure (治愈) your flu. Don't be sad. Your body is an amazing thing. It will cure itself without any help.""What? My body will fix things on its own?"I cried in disbelief.
Yes, your body's immune system (免疫系统) will fight the virus (病毒) for you. No doctor or medicine will cure you." repeated the doctor.
My tears rushed out.I had not realized this in the past.Everything had always seemed so natural.I've had my meals every day for thirteen years. I drink water like taking a breath﹣without thinking about it at all.
Now, I understand that even a simple thing like swallowing is like a miracle (奇迹). The parts of my body do their jobs amazingly well一and yet quietly, without me even noticing.
I don't remember how many days it took me to be well again, but I do remember what my father told me. He said that we should all appreciate our bodies and the miracle of how they are built.

Public speaking is one of the top three fears among adults in both the UK and the US. Here are some suggestions that deal with some of the most common problems people experience with public speaking.
Invite the attention in
Do you hate that moment when you stand up in front of a group to speak and everybody looks at you?① . It's a sign that people are interested and want to hear what you have to say. Welcome those looks!
Beat the brain freeze
Have you ever been in the middle of speaking and suddenly……brain freeze!② . It is possible that you forgot something for the moment. And you are holding your breath! All you need to do is to trust yourself, clear your mind, focus and breathe. The thoughts will come rushing back to your mind in no time. Phew!
Increase your confidence
Use this exercise to get in touch with the "naturally confident (自信的) you" inside. Close your eyes and remember a special time you felt really relaxed and confident. Imagine the feeling of relaxation rushing through your whole body. It will pass information to your brain that you are confident and happy.③ Whether you are someone who just wants to move from good to great with your speaking, or someone who feels too afraid to stand up and speak, the great news is that you can move forward, be relaxed, and turn into a great speaker.④
(2)Write down another suggestion on how to become a good speaker. (答案不多于5个单词)

things and persons around us.

To the Editor,
I am writing as a member of One﹣on﹣One,the sixth﹣grade mentoring (指导) group.Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students.Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring.We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group. This is my first year as a mentor,but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it.
I was assigned (分配) to a mentor last year. Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me. I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies, going from nearly failing math to passing it. It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I'm even thinking of studying math in college? Even if I don't, I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life. My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself. Now that I am a mentor, I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you' re making a difference in his or her life.In many situations,lasting friendships are made as well. My mentor and I hit it off right away.And we're still good friends today.
Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment(承诺).Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring.Considering your responsibilities,it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule.But I hope you will at least consider the possibility.
Thank you for considering our invitation. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mark Lopez

It was celebrated for the first time in 2013. On that day, we celebrated hundreds of " Happy Heroes" ﹣ those who did so much to bring happiness to others. They helped the homeless to live a comfortable life and the poor kids to go to school.
The 2014 Day of Happiness actions asked people to share pictures of making them happy. People all over the world showed their favourite pictures on the Internet. "It's exciting to see so many people sharing photos of what makes them happy." Joe, a senior high school students from Canada said. The 2015 Day of happiness actions gave attention on relationships. Modern society is leaving more and more people felling lonely. On that day, thousands of people all around the world reached out to make new connections with others. They visited their neighbours, gave calls to the doctors they didn't know very well, drove the strangers to station for free…
The theme of the 1029 Day of Happiness is "Happier Together". It encourages people worldwide to focus on what we have in common, rather than what divides us.
