Our junior high school life is coming to an end. So my classmates and I decided to make a special1for our own favorite teacher in the ceramics (陶艺) class.
After being dried for a long time in the fire, our gifts for teachers were2. Chen Hui took them out of the kiln (窑). CRASH (碎裂声) ! His cup, Xiao Yao's3, and my heart broke into pieces all over the floor.
"My elephant lost her trunk (象鼻) !" Xiao Yao shouted. "My heart is broken!" I4almost at the same time.
"I'm so sorry!" Chen Hui said.
"Bring5to the repair station," said Xiao Yao, "Let's see what we can do with some magic6the magic glue worked only on Chen Hui's cup. The trunk and glue. " We tried many times, the heart were in too many broken bits to put back together.
"Now my elephant has a short nose instead of a trunk," said Xiao Yao, "It7like a little dog with big ears. And it's8lovely! Let's call it doglephant!"
"A cute doglephant! Cool! You just turned the accident into a happy one!" I said. And right then, I knew9to do. Maybe I could make a mosaic (镶嵌画) by using the pieces of my broken heart.

With the street becoming busy, the city began to breathe again.
People say laughter is the best medicine, but sometimes too much of a good thing may not be so good. What happened to me last night made me deeply understand the meaning of that.
Last night I was alone at home. When I was watching a funny movie, I suddenly started laughing and couldn't stop myself.
At first, I was feeling good.
But after about 5 minutes, I came to know I wasn't going to stop at all. I began to feel a little worried.
Time for bed. But I couldn't sleep because I kept laughing. So I got up and started doing some housework. I cleaned my apartment, laughing hard. I washed all the dishes left over from dinner, still laughing crazily. I tried to hold my cat in my arms, but it ran away from me in fear. I spent the rest of the night in front of my computer, of course, still laughing.
When time finally came to get ready for work, I realized that I simply couldn't go to the office like that. I decided to call my boss for leave, but laughing was the only thing I could do on the phone.
After listening to my "lovely" laughter for a few minutes, my boss couldn't help shouting angrily, "Are you mad? You're fired (解雇 ) !"
Suddenly I woke up. Thank God! I just had a dream.
When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on an to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest, "But now, it's different,"
Says Nejať's "People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready. " Nejať's robots are designed to fill an increasing need: care—giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.
Such robots could be especially useful for patients with Alzheimer's disease (老年痴呆症 ). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding(提醒) the patients of taking their medicine. They can also play games with patients to keep them active.
Some have worried that care—giving robots might reduce (减少) human interaction (互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. "But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it" says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder r(自闭障碍症) improve social skills.
As a field grows, scientists aim to understand human—robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions? Will patients lose interest?
"One thing is clear," Scassellati says, "Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future."
Humans can develop certain abilities we aren't born with by practicing animals' movements," the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past— and still do today.
Chinese Five—Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer (鹿), birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1, 800 years ago. The Five—Animal Exercises are well—designed to help blood circulation (循环), and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health.
"The bear movements are good for the stomach. The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back. The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist (腰). The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart. ” said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor (继承人) of Wuqinxi.
For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus (集中注意力). Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly… Little by little, you'll feel more and more harmonious with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.
These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn. You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. Because it's fun to practice and good for health, Five—Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places of the world.

It's said that there is a kind of bird born without feet. They fly for their whole life and try to sing the most beautiful songs. They can only land once the time when they die.
Liu Yanzhi is just like the bird.
When Liu Yanzhi was a baby, she had an accident and lost the ability to walk. Every time she saw other children play happily outside, Liu Yanzhi really wanted to join them. But she knew she was different. That made her upset.
Once, Liu Yanzhi went out onto the street in her wheelchair. Some people saw her and began to shout, "Look! That disabled girl wore make—up (化妆品) !" "Yes, how strange!"
"Why can't a disabled girl wear make—up? Every flower has the right to show its beauty!" Liu decided to cheer up and have a wonderful life.
In 2009, Liu got a job in a local beauty shop. She was paid a little but learned a lot.
In 2012, Liu opened a beauty shop but failed. Her mother begged(乞求) her to give up, but she kept on. She traveled around to learn at different training meetings. . .
After a few years' hard work, Liu succeeded. She thought she could do more. In 2017, to help other disabled people, Liu started the Taihe Sunshine Disabled Association. Now, the 31-year-old woman owns a factory that produces make-up products of her own brand( ).
We all want to live the life we dream of. However, at times, some negative (消极的) ideas may stop us. Hope the following suggestions can help to ignore those and go ahead.
Do What We Can Control
One thing we can control is doing what we can — eating healthily, exercising, reading and getting enough sleep. Doing the right things can help to achieve the most happiness. Also, it can make us move on in the direction. However, we should also accept that there are many things we can't control.
Take Calculated (预料到的) Risks
Success doesn't come risks. We all have to take risks in life, but try to make sure those risks are calculated. For example, you are working at a job that you hate, and you are dreaming of giving it up and your own business. The thought is a start. But one day, you can't stand your job any more, so you leave it even though you haven't really had a plan. This is such a big risk that it will probably make you want to take a risk again. So just start with a small risk.
Don't Be Afraid of Failure
Thomas Edison is one of the greatest inventors in history. However, he many times. Did you know Edison created an electric pen? A ghost machine? Probably not. Well, that's because they were complete failures. But those failures put him one step to success. Think of failures as milestones (里程碑) towards success.
