    Mom and Dad live in Calverton. On June 28, my parents celebrated 70 years of marriage.

They have been through years of hard work and good times, a1. supporting each other.

As a child, I remember my parents working side by side for spring, fall, winter, and summer cleaning or working in the yard, or painting and wallpapering.

My parents bought a h2. in Elmont. They never believed they'd be able to own their own home, and to them, it was their castle. They worked hard to decorate it and kept i3. looking beautiful. They taught us to work hard and to appreciate everything we had.

Mom likes everything—sightseeing, clubs, shopping, anything. Dad, even today, can't u4. why she always wants to go out!

Mom is really active with the Red Hatters women's group and her gardening club. Dad spoils (宠坏) her by taking care of the house.

The key to their s5. marriage is that they respect each other.

My brother, who is 67, and I (now 69), have always known we are lucky to have such great parents. They have shown us what love is, what hard work is, and what respect is all about.

My daughter and I try to see them almost every weekend w6. we play cards together and catch upon the week's news.

My parents are the glue that holds our whole family t7. , making holidays and ordinary days special to us all.

I know we are lucky to have them both, even save all of their voice-mail messages, just so I'll have their voice to h8. when they are not here. But Mom keeps t9. us all that she's definitely (绝对地) going to live to be 100. So we will have a f10. more holidays, birthdays, and memories to experience.

    In difficult times, there are always individuals who step up and bring people hope and confidence. Zhong Nanshan is one of these heroes who 1.(make) great contributions during the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP) (新冠肺炎).

Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto (信条) : save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered 2.(treat) patients and asked his colleagues (同事) to send their most serious cases to him. After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS 3.(accept) by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives.

Seventeen years later, Zhong is once again 4.(lead) an expert team to study the novel coronavirus. "Please don't travel to Wuhan unless it's absolutely necessary, "Zhong Nanshan reminded the public when the novel coronavirus first 5.(hit) Wuhan. But he, 84, rushed on an overnight train to Wuhan on Jan 18 while the patients there 6.(wait) for a proper treatment. Two days later, he became the first expert to make certain that the new virus 7.(be) spread between humans. Under his guidance, his team developed a rapid test kit (快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes. Although this new virus is known to be more dangerous to the elderly, Zhong 8.(not seem) worried about his own safety.

Zhong's image and messages 9.(go) through social media right now. Many people say they "trust every word of Zhong". He has given Chinese people confidence in winning the battle. He is a real hero and we surely 10.(remember) his great contribution forever!

    Recently, a junior high school sent several students back home because they broke the school uniform (校服) rules. Should students wear school uniforms? The Young World magazine held a discussion on this topic (话题) .

Kennedy: The school uniform is very important, because it always reminds me that I am supposed to go out of my way to study hard. It also helps prevent school bullying (欺凌) .If everyone wears the same clothes, it is impossible to laugh at other people's clothing.

Manson: The uniform has to be earned (获得) through efforts. Students should start school with no uniforms. As they make progress at school, they start wearing it. I always think children need to be proud of their school. The uniform is important for that. So, make students earn it! If they don't perform well, they should not be allowed to get one.

Moorhead: In my opinion, kids don't have to wear uniforms. There should be more choices open to kids in education. They should develop their own independence and just be themselves. Their personalities would be expressed through their own clothes at school. And different dress could be one way of showing their understanding of beauty. Besides, they make the school lively and colorful.

Patrick: I can see the advantages of wearing school uniforms. They play a very important role in managing schools. However, a school should not depend heavily on uniforms to improve students' behaviors. Teaching them how to express themselves with confidence is more important.

Working as a vet (兽医), I met a family who taught me an unforgettable lesson. They came to my clinic with their dying dog Coco. I examined Coco and found he was old and had a serious illness. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Coco, and euthanasia (安乐死) would be best for the dog.

On that day, they little boy Eric seemed so calm , petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on.

The little boy seemed to accept Coco’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Coco's death, explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives.

Eric, who had been listening quietly, piped up: "I know why."

He said, "People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right?" The six-year-old continued, "Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short. It has changed the way I live. I see everyday as the day that my life could be easily taken away, so I try to live my life to the fullest.
