Dear Gary,
I’m really sorry about my using the mobile phone in your lecture the last week. Please receive my apology for being such rude a student. But I didn’t use the mobile phone for any reason. I was trying to find a part-time job last week and that day, I got a job offer and they need my further informations immediately. However, I had no other choice but try sending them a text message in class. I promise it will ever happen again. But I do need my phone back to get in touch with others. Will you be kindly enough to give it back to me? Thank you.
Opportunities don’t come often. They come every once in a while. Very often, they come quietly and go by without 1.(notice). Therefore, it is advisable 2. you should value and treat them with care. When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it3. its own. If you want to achieve something 4. intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. 5. , you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you. The difference between a man who succeeds and 6.
who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always makes adequate preparations to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The 7. (success) person, on8. other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by. 1n my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and qualified 9. (high) can make use of them to achieve 10. purposes.
The secret of success is what you say not what you think. Several years ago, I started representing a new service in the . I started out like a wildfire and within a few days I had reached stardom(明星的地位) within the company. About a year into it. I started to work with a young lady who always said the most and defeating things I’d ever heard in my life. , I found myself repeating the very same defeatism(失败情绪), which my sales dropping and my shining stardom fading away, and I couldn’t understand .
At first, I myself to say negative things about , and then after some ,
the tables turned and I began to those things about myself. Before long, I had 51
myself into being a failure. Did it happen ? No, it snuck(偷偷跑来) its way into my life; little by little. I’m sure you’re what I did to get out of that hole that I dug for myself. I started to talk myself back into being ; I printed lists of things to say about myself, most of which was the exact of what I felt about myself at the time.
In order to achieve anything in life, you have to believe that you can achieve it; in order to believe that you can achieve you have to think it’s possible; in order to think it’s possible you have to tell yourself it is. Yes, it will take time for you to get to a place where you finally believe you can accomplish what you set out to achieve, but the first person you have to is yourself. I dare you to write positive things down about yourself and start saying them to yourself every morning, at lunch and just before you go to bed for the next 30 days and see for yourself the that it can make. You have nothing to except the negative and that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

What is life's greatest gift? 1. Choice is the ability to select one course of action from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about choice? It transform us from dumb animals into artist. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life. The tool doesn’t come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility. 2. The reward is happiness.
Life is not still. It is a flow. 3. We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust(再调整) myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.
4. And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example. you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our life are far mote important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.

Have you ever thought, “I wish I could take a year off and just travel around the word?” Well, three lucky American teenagers were able to do just that. The teens — two males and one female — got an all-expenses paid, yearlong hike to five continents.
This trip didn’t include any five-star hotels or shopping funs. Eighteen-year-old Jamie Fiel from Keller, Texas, 17-year-old Arsen Ewing from Canyon, California, and 16-year-old Tyler Robinson from Lincoln, Massachusetts, didn’t expect fancy treatment. They signed up for the experience of a lifetime, which included hard work, often uncomfortable accommodations, and encounters with some of nature’s most dangerous animals and environments.
Jamie, Arsen, and Tyler were among hundreds of high school kids nominated by their science teachers to take this trip. Earthwatch Institute sponsored this adventure. Each year, Earthwatch employs thousands of volunteers worldwide to help with scientific research projects.
The group went all around the world to get a close look at the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Their assignments were as varied as their locations, and included measuring and attending pink flamingos in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, and tracking giant sea turtles in Costa Rica.
As they worked with the Earthwatch scientists, Jamie, Arsen, and Tyler began to understand that we are at a critical moment in the life of our planet. Time for change is running out. As the teens went from country to country and witnessed different environmental dangers and challenges, they understood that solutions to important environmental issues start with the power of one person’s actions. They realized that each of them can make a difference.
