My dad taught me the power of language when I was young.
It1when I was eight. As a kid, I was always climbing trees. So it was no2for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree. I didn't realize a branch(树枝) could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was 3 to be up so high.
My older cousin, Tammy was 4 the same tree, about ten feet below me. Tammy's mother and my father5 us at the same time. Just at that time a strong wind 6and it blew through the tree. My dad shouted "Bart, hold on tight(紧紧地). "So I did.
But Tammy was not so lucky. She 7out of the tree and hurt her legs. I climbed down the tree slowly. My dad later told me 8 Tammy fell but I did not. When the strong wind came. Tammy's mother shouted "Tammy, don't fall". But Tammy did fall.
My dad then9to me that the brain has a very difficult time processing negative (否定的) language. In order for Tammy to process the 10 of not falling, her nine-year-old brain had to first imagine falling, then try to tell her body not to do it. It took too much time!
Dear Zi Lin,
I am very sorry to learn that you are unhappy now. But as a friend of yours, l don't think you should be unhappy.
I know that your family is not rich, so your parents can't afford to buy you clothes of famous brands, which makes you unhappy. Although we don't have much money, we can have a good mood every day. Many rich people have too much money, but they often feel bored and lonely. Your parents have sent you to school so that you can receive good education and have a bright future. This is not easy for your parents. So you should thank them. Don't ask for something that is out of your parents' reach. Don't be vain-glorious(虚荣的).
I also think you should put your heart into study. Read more books and you can get a lot from reading. Without the famous brand competition, you will become happy.
So you should decide not to feel so sorry and sad. You should smile and think you are luckier in life. I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Wish you happiness!
Yours,
ZhangMan
Because of the climate(气候)change, some of our favorite food and drinks may run out in 30years. What food will be in danger?
|
Tea |
When it comes to tea (the world's 2nd favorite drink after water), the warmer and warmer climate is not only making the world's tea-growing areas smaller in size, but also changing its taste. Recent research shows that the number of tea-producing areas in some places, especially East Africa, may decline(减少) by 55% by 2050. |
|
Seafood |
As temperatures rise, rivers and oceans take in some of the heat and experience warming of their own. The result is a decline in fish population. Scientists think that if people overfish and the temperature continues rising, the world's seafood will run out by the year 2050. |
|
Rice |
As for rice, the changing climate is more of a threat to the growing method than to the crops themselves. As increasing temperatures bring more droughts(干旱), the world's rice-growing areas may not have enough water. In fact, the water needs to be 5 inches (英寸) deep. This could make it harder to grow rice. |
