Several years4 before she asked me again. This time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it5 be our eyes. " She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct. Many people are blind, but they still live happily." Over the years, she asked me many times and always her answer was, "No. But you are getting6 every year, my child."
Then last year, my grandpa7 . Everybody was crying. When it was our8 to say our final goodbye to him, my mother asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?" I was9 when she asked me this. I always thought this was a game between her and me. I saw her eyes10 tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder." I asked, "Is it because it holds up my11 ?" She replied, "No. It is because it can hold the head of a friend or a relative when he or she12 . Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on13 in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends, so you will14 have a shoulder to cry on when you need it." That was15 I realized what the most important body part is.

The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe loved the watch very much, especially after his wife's death. He was very upset about losing it.
Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.
One granddaughter asked: "Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?"
"I guess when I was cleaning the barn(谷仓)！" Joe replied.
The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it. The kids were now also sad, but they tried to comfort(安慰) their grandfather.

For teenagers, especially who are going to take part in the big tests, every second is valuable and we should rethink of the ways of spending our time. Whether you have spent your time in a proper way? Here are some good suggestions for you to take.
Firstly, spend time in doing things that are really important. Spend time with your family and friends, and share your feelings and thoughts with them. Enjoy a nice hot meal and eat it slowly. Give yourself time to play and spend enough time in sleeping. Little things like this may seem meaningless. But the truth is that little things matter most in life.
Secondly, you have to know what has been done cannot be undone. Do not allow your mind to stay in the past. Every day is a new start. You have to keep your eyes and ears open for tomorrow. It may not be a chance you can get immediately, but it may be a chance for new experiences.
Then, do your best in every task. If you have only one chance to do something for someone, why not do it with the best of your ability? It should not matter whether you are being praised or not. You will take pride in your work because you've done your best. Trust me, your efforts will be rewarded in time.
Lastly, every moment you spend in doing things is the time taken from your life. Don't waste your time away working day and night just for money. That is not your life's worth. The value of your time is measured by how you spend it and whom you choose to spend it with.
