a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.
another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.
in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.
Flowers are a wonderful gift of nature。 Everyone likes them。 Flowersportray love， happiness， joy and all the other positive emotions。 Since timeimmemorial flowers have been an integral part of every celebration andfestival。
But there has been a misconception。 Flowers are mainly associated withfeminine gender。 It is forgotten that men to have a soft side to them。 Gift yourfather a bouquet of flowers on Father's Day and he surely will be overjoyed。Flowers， especially architectural and bold like tropical flowers， which aremasculine， long lasting， tall and sturdy like the fathers usually are， canbe
given。 White and Red Rose are known to be the official flowers of Father'sDay。 People wear a white rose to honor a father who has deceased and a red rosefor a father who is living。
花是大自然最美妙的礼物。每个人都喜欢它们。花象征着爱，幸福，欢乐以及所有进取的情感。而那些古老悠久的花已经成为所有仪式和节日中最主要的部分。
但此刻人们对花产生了一个误解。大多数时候人们把花与女性联系在一齐。人们忘记了男性对花也有温情的一面。在父亲节给你的父亲送上一束鲜花，他保证会欣喜若狂的，尤其是具有建筑风格的，大胆而狂野的热带花朵，它们具有男性的特质，生命力持久，高大而强健，和父亲的主角往往很相似。白玫瑰和红玫瑰是公认的父亲节节花。白玫瑰象征纪念已故的家严，而红玫瑰象征着赞美健康尚在的父亲。
男人喜欢明快，炙热，大胆以及斗志高昂的颜色，像是黄色，橙色，紫色和红色。他们布置花的时候绝大多数情景下会与他们有组织的，善于计算的头脑坚持一致。他们还喜欢自然的，富有现代感的，时尚新潮的花束。只要他心中有谱，他可能会选择玫瑰，雏菊或其它充满异域风情的花朵。鲜艳生动的红玫瑰与黄色的雏菊深受大多数男人的喜爱，从而也成为父亲节最梦想的鲜花礼物。
If a mother's love is sometimes compared to a blooming lily, in everycorner of its charming fragrance, then a father is a plant jasmine, it quietlyin a corner and its fresh fragrance. A father in life are hard to detect, but ifyou observe, you will find that the father loves the lingering around us all thetime.
Father's day in 19 __, was born in the United States. By a lady fromWashington called Bruce dodd, raising is to thank his father for many years, sheis calling for father's day, let people to thank his father, and suggested touse his father's birthday, on 5 June as father's day. But because of hasty,father's day on the 19th, namely the third Sunday of June 19 __ years. Later,other countries after the use of the day.
Father is great and selfless.
Listen to mama said, when I was young, my father in order to make ourliving conditions better, had to work down. At the same time in order to let meall the time in the process of growth can feel the love of parents, resolutelybring me up. When I was little, my mother for me, didn't go to work, that is,when the home is to rely on dad walked with the meager pay, no matter how hardwork, he will accompany me to play for a while after go home.
Gradually I grow up, when I meet with difficulties in learning to give up,is he in the side to encourage me, teach me made me stand up again.
When I first father's day, to my own CARDS handed dad, he was gratifiedsmile.
Mother is exquisite, meticulously, make people feel warm; Father seldomexpress their love, but he paid as much as any one mother. Because of this,people to thank for a mother for we came to the world, also don't forget tothank father taught us endless knowledge and human reason.
A plant jasmine may not be refreshing fragrance, but it always makes youfeel pure and fresh, feel quiet and tastefully laid out, father's love is likethis, just as jasmine quietly open. No matter where you are, my father thelove's eyes will accompany your life. Let us in father's day, a good wish to myfather!
when i'm free or in trouble, i always take out a book and read quietly. inno time, i've put my heart into it so that i'll forget all the troubles. it's inthis way that i've formed the habit of reading in any time.
little boys as i was, i was interest in picture books and storybooks. i wasstruck by them. no sooner had i entered the middle school than i began to readnovel, plays, essays and so on. i found i could get much from them. little bylittle i took great interest in literature and last term i won the first prizein the composition contest among middle-school students in zhe jiang.
reading “the emperor's new clothes”, i had to let out a burst of laughterover his fool. “the little match girl” couldn't keep me from crying for hermisery. “ robinson crusoe” took me into a strange world full of danger. and iwas also deeply impressed by helen keller's patience and perseverance… besidesthese, books also tell me other thing -how to be a man and how to tell thedifference between right and wrong. in a word, good books can make me know whati didn't before. so i think of a good book as my best friend.
i'll never forget this famous saying,“ good books are best friends whonever turn their backs upon us.”
have you ever learned english by watching english dvd movies? is that aneffective english learning method for you? why?
watching english dvd movies is a very effective method of learning english.i learnt english at college at home. as a natural result of insufficient englishspeaking environment, my speaking and listening abilities were not developedsatisfactorily, although my reading and writing abilities were quite all right.i remember my experience during a summer vacation when i made plans to watch 10original english movies (i mean those not dubbed.) including the classiccasablanca, rebecca, a tale of two cities, and little women.
i persistently carried out my plan and each of the films i watched a dozentimes until i could recite most of the dialogues. at the end of that summervacation, i found i became nearly as fluent as a native english speaker.
the ways of reading
we may obtain knowledge by reading. the more books we read, the more weaccumulate the knowledge. is it right? i don’t think so. it’s not wide readingbut useful reading that leads to excellence. and only good books can benefitus.
so choosing books is very important for reading. many students spend a lotof time reading legends and swordsman novels. it’s a waste of time. somestudents even read some bad books and it is harmful for them.
so be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep, for ourhabit and character will be as much influenced by the former as by thelatter.
One night, I complained to my mom about the lack of time. Finally she said,"you are short of time just because you waste precious minutes on complaints and anxiety. The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit in some thing more."
It is the same with filling the jar. Even if you place a dozen fist-sized rocks and a bucket of gravel into the jar, there is still space for sand and water between the rocks and gravel.
The lack of time is just the excuse for my negligence of every single minute. I believe that the great dividing line between success and failure can be expressed in six words,"I did not have enough time."The fact is I do have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. The point is I have never touched upon the real meaning of life which lies in snatching, seizing and enjoying every minute of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination, no complaint! It is during my moments of complaining or hesitation that my destiny is shaped. Once I make full use of every moment, I believe that, my worries will be gradually cut down to nothing.
Time is the most valuable of all our possessions, but the most perishable as well. As Henry David Thoreau said,"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."
Whenever I fell the lack of time in the future, I will tell myself "Carpe diem , seize the day, make every moment count."
抓住每分每秒
有天晚上，我向妈妈抱怨自己事情太多，时间不够。她说道：“你抱怨没有时间就是因为你把珍贵的分分秒秒都浪费在抱怨和焦虑上。关键是，无论你的时间表排得多满，如果你真的努力尝试了，你还是总能间插地做些事情。”
这同填充广口瓶是一个道理，即使你将一小堆拳头大小的石块和一桶碎石倒进瓶里，也还能继续倒入沙子和水，使其漏进石块的间隙中去。
“没时间”无异于我为自己浪费分分秒秒找的托词罢了。我相信成功与失败的一线之差可以用六个字来形容：“我没足够时间。” 然而事实上，我却与海伦.凯勒，帕斯特，杰弗逊和爱因斯坦每天所拥有的时间分秒不差。关键是我并未触及生命的真谛：抓住，享受生命的每一分钟。不要碌碌无为，不要耽搁推迟，不要牢骚抱怨!往往是在我抱怨和迟疑的时候，我的命运就被决定了。而一旦我能善用分分秒秒，我相信我的烦恼也会被逐渐瓦解。
在我们所拥有的财富中，时间是最珍贵而又最不持久的。正如梭罗所说的那样：“你得抓住现在，把握机会，在短暂的瞬间中寻找永恒。”
如果将来我再发觉没时间的时候，我会告诫自己，“carpe diem (拉丁语)，抓住今天，抓住每分每秒。”
If you're middle-aged and your memory's not what it used to be, check thebathroom scale, researchers warned, suggesting overweight people tend to scoremore poorly on tests of memory than their thinner peers do.
The findings suggest that a heavier weight in middle age may mean a higherrisk of dementia later in life.
Reporting in the journal Neurology, the researchers speculated that higherrates of cardiovascular disease or diabetes might help explain the link. Butit's also possible that substances produced by fat cells, such as the hormoneleptin, have direct effects on the brain.
The study compared mental abilities to body mass index (BMI), a
measurement of weight in relation to height used to define overweight andobesity. A BMI of 25 or more indicates overweight, and 30 or more is obese.
The study also investigated the relationships between BMI and cognitivefunction in 2,223 healthy men and women between the ages of 32 and 62 in Francethrough the use of four cognitive tests.
The study found a higher BMI was associated with lower cognitive test scores.Results from a test involving word memory recall show people with a BMI of 20remembered an average of nine out of 16 words, while people with a BMI of 30remembered an average of seven out of 16 words.

Yesterday was Father's Day。 I had planned to give my father a present。 ButI didn't remember it until in the morning。It was too late to post a card to him。So I decided to buy something。 When I was in the department store。 I found itwas not easy for me to choose something right for him。
Suddenly I got an idea。 I ran home and opened my puter。 I made a beautifulcard and mailed him through the Internet。 then I began to make supper。 Whenfather came home， he was very glad to find a big meal on the table。 then I askedhim to check his e-mail。 He was amazed to find a beautiful card in hise-mail-box。
What a wonderful surprise!
As everyone knows,English is very important today.It has been used everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chance to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...
I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of great intrests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birth place of English.
I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the English spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us.
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
Thank you!
I have a wonderful dream in my heart。 It's to speak English very well。Since English is everything for me。 English is my best friend。 English is mysoul。 English is my power。 Without English， I'm nothing at all。 Nothing。 Now， Ican think in English， speak in English， and write in English。 Some people thinkI'm an Indian。 Some people regard I'm a Pakistan。 And some people even considerthat I'm an Egyptian。 But if I could speak English as good as an American， myfuture would be brilliant。 So I work very hard。
so if you picture the typical classroom nowadays: when i was going to school, we sat in rows. we sat in rows of desks like this, and we did most of our work pretty autonomously. but nowadays, your typical classroom has pods of desks -- four or five or six or seven kids all facing each other. and kids are working in countless group assignments. even in subjects like math and creative writing, which you think would depend on solo flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as committee members. and for the kids who prefer to go off by themselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or, worse, as problem cases. and the vast majority of teachers reports believing that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert, even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according to research. (laughter)
okay, same thing is true in our workplaces. now, most of us work in open plan offices, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and gaze of our coworkers. and when it comes to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions, even though introverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks -- which is something we might all favor nowadays. and interesting research by adam grant at the wharton school has found that introverted leaders often deliver better outcomes than extroverts do, because when they are managing proactive employees, they're much more likely to let those employees run with their ideas, whereas an extrovert can, quite unwittingly, get so excited about things that they're putting their own stamp on things, and other people's ideas might not as easily then bubble up to the surface.
now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have been introverts. i'll give you some examples. eleanor roosevelt, rosa parks, gandhi -- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. and they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to. and this turns out to have a special power all its own, because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right.
Dining safty has long been a major concern of human race, so, how can we assure that we are dinning safely?
As the basic element of dining safty, source of the food is perhaps the most essential issue that we should focus upon, if the raw metrial itself can cause negative effects to the human body, nothing can be done to put it right.
Kitchen hygiene will pehaps be another element that should be taken into consideration, including water source, type of cooking oil,quality of spicery used and blending of cooking material.
To sum up, we have a lot to do to ensure dining safty
five thousand years of glorious civilization, the chinese, the four major inventions in the world bright with china. descendants are all proud of our nation, proud.
we are proud, because china has a long history and splendid culture. five thousand years of glorious history of the chinese nation, settling the essence of eastern and western civilizations, revealing the dawn of human science, the history of civilization in the world with the enduring charm. four great inventions change the face of humanity as a whole, "book of songs" to create a realistic world literature precedent, the romantic poetry of qu yuan to bring the extraordinary imagination of mankind, the prose of qin and han, tang, song, yuan, ming and qing fiction, confucius and mencius doctrine as well as "the art of war", etc., all demonstrate the ancestors of the chinese nation rich emotion and wisdom.

however, history does not glow bright sun every day, china had been brilliant, has a catastrophe ordeal. but also created the chinese nation, we are proud of the great indomitable character, casting a strong backbone of china. over the past 50 years, numerous
miracles again in this wonderful land of birth. rapid economic

achievements, should we not be proud of these achievements, and proud of it? decades of good governance, top to bottom search of several years, our country has stood in the east, self-reliance among the nations in the world!

When I was five， my biological father mitted suicide。 It left me feeling asthough I'd done something wrong; that if I had been better somehow， maybe he'dhave stayed around。 My mother remarried shortly thereafter， and this man was mydad until I was nineteen。 I called him Dad and used his name all through school。But， when he and my mother divorced， he just walked away。 Once again， I wonderedwhat was wrong with me that I couldn't keep a father。
Mother remarried again， and Bob was a wonderful， kind man。 I was twenty nowand no longer living at home， but I felt a great love and attachment for him。 Afew years later my mother was diagnosed with cancer and was not given long tolive。 Shortly before she died， Bob came over to my house alone one day。 Wetalked about a lot of things， and then he told me that he wanted me to know thathe'd always be there for me， even after Mother was gone。 Then he asked if hecould adopt me。
I could hardly believe my ears。 Tears streamed down my face。 He wanted me -me! This man had no obligation to me， but he was reaching out from his heart，and I accepted。 During the adoption proceedings， the judge mented on all theundesirable duties of his profession and then with a tear in his eye， thanked usfor brightening his day as he pronounced us father and daughter。 I wastwenty-five， but I was his little girl。
Three short years later， Bob， too， was diagnosed with cancer and was gonewithin the year。 At first I was hurt and angry at God for taking this fatheraway too。 But eventually the love and acceptance that I felt from Dad camethrough again， and I became， once more， grateful for the years we had。
On Father's Day I always reflect on what I've learned about fatherhood。I've learned that it is not dependent on biology or even on raising a child。Fatherhood is a matter of the heart。 Bob's gift from the heart will warm my soulfor eternity。
