While walking outside one morning, I saw the most beautiful thing. It was early, and I was walking on dewy(帶露水的)grass down to the office. Suddenly a flash came out straight from the ground, about 15 feet in front of me, and shot up into the sky. I stopped. What could make such a bright light? Could it be a diamond(鉆石)?I waited to see if it would repeat, but it didn't.

I walked slowly toward it, but saw nothing. I looked down at the grass, searching for gold or some kind of metal - again, nothing. Suddenly, I saw it. The rising sun hit the grass' dewdrop(露珠)at the perfect way, sending great light into the sky. It was as if I had just discovered a tiny new world and it was just the unseen world that was giving me a heads-up, "Hello, look at what's around you," it said. I've never forgotten that moment.

So next time you're out, take some time to notice nature, whose beauty most of us never even see. Look at the beautiful colors and different small flowers that cover playing fields—we walk all over them without a second look. Watch a bee dancing, or tiny ants going on their way, or birds singing in the sky. All of these natural living things are amazing—if only we took the time to notice them.

Have an eye for nature, and you'll find a new secret each day to keep in your heart. __ It's one of the most wonderful things I've ever done.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words

What is life? It is like a game in which you are playing with f1. balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of g2.. If you drop one of these, they will break. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don’t look on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is s3..

Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. N4. is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to r5. love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don’t run t6. life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless. It’s a treasure (珍寶) you can always carry easily.

Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is h7., tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift: that’s why we call it “the p8.”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
