Alicia was a young woman who liked to exercise for her health. In fact, she walked five kilometers before      every morning, and went swimming once a week at the swimming pool. She didn’t smoke and never      . She didn’t eat chocolate. She didn’t eat sweet and fatty food,       . She weighted herself every day.
One day Alicia was on her daily walk when she saw a                sitting in a rocking chair under a tree. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking,           he looked very happy.
He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”
He had a wide smile         his face, and his eyes shone with happiness. But Alicia saw that he did not have teeth.
“Good morning!” replied Alicia. “Yes, it is a lovely day.”
Alicia thought he        very old and wise. She thought he must be at least 90 years old! She decided to ask him about the           of a happy old age.
“I hope you don’t         me asking,” she said, “but what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do           I am your age.”
The man in the rocking chair said, “My secret for        ? I smoke twenty packets of cigarettes every week, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers and chocolates whenever I want. I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit at home every day.”
Alicia was         . She didn’t expect the man to give her an answer like that. She wondered how the man got to be so old when he did        wrong. She thought he should be          and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life          eating well or doing lots of exercise.
“How old are you?” she asked.
“It’s my birthday today,” said the man. “I’m forty-seven!”

Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries:
1. Try to find out what you're worried about
Sometimes, you will know what you're worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can't, you can ask for help.
2. Think of ways to make it better
There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem.
Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you're worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
★ Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?
★How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test?
★ Do I have a good place to do my homework?
★ Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a fight you had, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.

科I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was sociology(社會學(xué)). The teacher was really great. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people.
I am a very       person and thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after, my husband, youngest son and I went out to McDonald’s. We were standing in line, waiting to be       , when all of a sudden everyone around us began to     away, and then even my husband did.
As I turned around I smelled a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor        men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, he was “     ”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God’s Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, “Good day.” as he counted the few       he had been holding.
The young lady at the counter(柜臺) asked him what they       . He said, “Coffee is all Miss.” because that was all they could afford. He just needed to be warm.
Then I really        it—the compulsion(沖動) was so great that I almost      out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give        two more breakfast meals on two plates.
I then picked up the plates and walked around the counter to the             that the men had chosen as a resting place. I put the plates on the table and laid my hand on the  blue-eyed gentleman’s        hand. He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.”
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:acceptance without condition.

Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana.  Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests.  They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.
Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem.  Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute!  As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America.  They paid $25 per acre.  The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.
So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river.  They saw alligators and crocodiles.  In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest.  “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest.  They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at e us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.
Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture.  During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities.  They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.
Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.
