I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But recently when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t able to control myself.
Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the first hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.
In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.
I dropped my head in shame. He must think I was crazy. May be I could turn toward him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. "I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book! "But I didn't say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the seat and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying? My decision was that it was okay if he thought I was crazy. I'd rather be crazy than be the kind of person who wouldn't cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn't let herself feel anything at all.
I’ve been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn’t think I was crazy. But now I don’t want to be that girl any more ---that bored and sad girl. I'd rather be this girl who is able to forgive(原谅), love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.

A little boy almost thought of himself as the unluckiest child in the world because he was born with a lame(瘸的)leg.He seldom played with his classmates and always lowered his head without a word.
One spring, the boy's father gave each child a small tree to plant.“Whoever grows the best tree will get a favourite gift,” he said to them.Seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees happily in the garden, a terrible idea hit his mind: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon.So he never cared about it.
A few days later, he was surprised to find it not only didn't die, but also grew some fresh leaves, and it looked greener and healthier than the others.He got a favourite gift and was told by his father: from the tree he planted, he would become a great botanist(植物学家). One night, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what his teacher once said, most plants grew at night.Why not go to see the lovely tree? When he came to the garden, he found his father was watering his tree carefully. At that time, he understood: his father has secretly taken good care of his small tree! He returned to his room with tears(泪水)rolling down his face.

Colors are very important in our life.We can see different colors in different places.Sometimes colors are called warm,cold or neutral(中性的)colors.Red and yellow are warm colors because they make us feel warmer.They also make the walls seem nearer to us than they really are.Blue and black are cold colors.They can give us different feelings.We feel cooler and the walls seem to be farther away.Neutral colors don't affect our feelings.Brown and gray are both neutral,but they may also affect our feelings when we put them into warm or cold colors.
It's important to choose the colors we want.Red may be very good for a restaurant,but it could be wrong for an art gallery,because people want to see the pictures,not the walls behind.White can make a small room look bigger.If your room is very small,you can paint the walls white.
