In July 2020, Rex and Britnee Smith realized their two pet dogs, Jack and Jill, were no longer in their fenced backyard in Little Rock Arkansas. They went from door to door in their neighborhood, putting up posters, reaching out to animal shelters(收容所) and vets' offices and posting on social media. It was a sad time for the Smiths, especially for their 5-year-old daughter, who had a special feelings with the dogs. 

Eventually in December, the Smiths and their two children had to move about 300 miles away to McKinney, Texas. They still sometimes received calls from shelters or got pictures of dogs that could be theirs, but Jack and Jill were never founded. While the Smiths had heard stories about dogs being found and returned to their owners via social media, they never expected that to happen to them. 

Then in late July 2023, the Little Rock Animal Village called Rex to inform him that Jill had been found. He immediately called Britnee, who cried tears of joy. Britnee was a little nervous as they drove to pick up Jill, worried that she wouldn't remember them or had changed to be more aggressive(好斗的). But that wasn't the case. 

"It's like she never left us, "Britnee recalled. "She came right into our arms. "The Smiths said they were unsure what happened to Jill in the three years away, although she'd been found just a few blocks away from their old house. "We wish she could talk, "Rex said. "We have so many questions to ask her. "Jill was overall health y but had suffered some scratches(刮伤). Her paws were raw(发红疼痛的), likely from the 37.8 degree Celsius heat in Arkansas.

The Smiths immediately too k her to the vet(兽医) and dog spa, where Jill had her nails cut shorter. her teeth brushed and her hair combed. 

Now they're still on the lookout for Jack.

In the 1994 film Forres t Gump, there's a famous saying, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never how what you're gonna get. "The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.

A blind box toy is hidden inside similar boxes but invisible from the outside. You don't know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons(动漫). 

Blind boxes have become popular since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box, designed by Hong Kong-born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55, 000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35. 

According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute looks. The typically cute cartoon figures come in very small sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere. Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people . It's the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another. 

"Expecting the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process(过程), "said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang, speaking to Sina News. She said:"Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside. "

Opening a blind box is a happy little surprise for our boring daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better result. When someone remakes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, "Life is like a blind box. "

We still don't understand the influence of the mind's power over the body, no r do we understand why there should be such power. All we can say for certain is that the mind does have power over the body in very many different ways. 

If a man is told that he is at the North Pole and he believes what he is told, he'll show physical signs which suggest that his body is reacting as though he were at the North Pole. He'll go pale and shiver with cold. When the film Lawrence of Arabia was shown, cinema managers around the world reported that the sales of ice cream rocketed. The endless desert scenes had made the moviegoers feel uncomfortably hot.

Hypnotists(催眠师) use the power of the mind over the body in order to use their influence. The hypnotist must only make the patient believe that something is true, and the patient will act accordingly. For example, if he convinces the patient that his arms are as heavy as lead(铅), then the patient will be unable to li ft his arms; if he convinces the patient that a piece of ice is a hot iron and he then touches the patient's skin with the ice, a blister(水泡) will develop. The body will react to the suggestion and not to the reality, and signs of a real burn will appear.

If you hope to improve your health, exercise is obviously a good way. But do you know that it has great effects on the mind too? We often pay little attention to the great mental(精神的) benefits that exercising regularly can have. It will allow you to stay active and health y for a long time, allowing you to have both the physical and mental benefits. 

Improve your mood Exercise is just what you need if you're looking for some positive feelings. It is possible that you have experienced a happy time after exercise While you are exercising, "happiness hormones(荷尔蒙)"are released.

Improve your memory. According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regular exercise increases the size of the hippocampus(a part of the brain) 

So, it is clear to see that there are many different benefits regular exercise can have. With these benefits for the mind, there now shouldn't be any excuse not to start and lead an active, balanced life.

One day my grandfather gave me a gift——a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea:the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year, I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike. 

Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, "This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up. "When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.

Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake(地震) had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night. 

注意：续写词数应为 80个左右；

I knew I should do something

He continued, "My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let's buy that bike together now. ""Thank you, Grandpa. "I was overwhelmed with happiness.
