    I stood in the doorway, watching my older brother carefully putting clothes into his bag. I coughed uneasily. Finally 1 that I was there, Rocky turned towards me with a sad smile.

    "I'm leaving tomorrow," he said.

    "I know." My 2 was almost a whisper (低声). I was 3 with myself for being so weak, but I wasn't about to cry.

    "My flight is early, but there is still enough time to the airport," he said. Seeing the 4 look on my face, he quickly added, "I promise I won't leave without saying goodbye."

    I tried to say 5, but I didn't. It's always 6 to keep quiet if you're about to cry. "You promised you wouldn't cry," he said to me, thinking that I was close to 7.

    I remember the day he taught me how to ride a bike. At first I thought he was always right behind me, holding the seat to keep me from 8. I was happy with this, but he knew he couldn't hold me up all my life. He told me that one day he would have to let go.

    His coughing stopped my thinking. What was left to say? How could I say goodbye to the person who taught me everything?

    The next morning I 9, looked at my alarm clock, and realized he had left hours ago. We never even said goodbye.

    Goodbye, Rocky! 10 he may have been many miles away, I knew he heard me, even if it was only an answer in his heart.

Life Is a Journey

Anonymous

Life is a journey.

The path goes left and right.

There is hope and happiness,

Despair and difficulties.

There are so many choices along the way.

Which one is the best for me?

Each creates a different future.

If I compare myself with others,

It really doesn't help.

Their life isn't mine.

And I have to make up my own mind.

Success or failure may come.

But worrying isn't the answer.

I just need to enjoy the journey,

And never give up.

    You may not realize it but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?

    If you discover (发现) that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize andrespectthe differences in others. We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.

    Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why he does things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate (温和的) and open mind.

    You need to remember an old saying, "________." If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance is just that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.

    It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.

    Do you know where J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books? She wrote the first book in a coffee shop. Was it because she felt more creative when working there? The answer might be yes.

    Scientists found that moderate (适度的) noise can make people more creative, The New York Times reported.

    Scientists did tests on students. They divided them into four groups. They then asked the students to do certain tasks involving creative thinking. But each group did the task with different volumes (音量) of background noise. They found that students did best when working under moderate noise—70 decibels (分贝). This is about the same volume of background noise in a cafe. Students did worse in low noise (50 dB). This is the volume of a quiet room. They did the poorest when in a high-noise (85 dB) environment. This is the noise level in a factory.

    Moderate noise can distract (分心) people just enough so that they think more creatively. "It helps you think outside the box," Raci Mehta, a lead researcher in the study, said to the Business Standard. On the one hand, working in a very quiet place can strengthen our focus. But it also stops

    us from thinking abstractly (抽象).

    "This is why if you are too focused on a problem and you can't solve it," said Mehta, "you leave it for some time and then come back to it and you'll get the solution."

    However, the scientists said that when you need to do detailed things, like proofreading (校对) a paper, a quiet place is better than a noisy one.

    People have always been interested in animal communication and scientists have done a lot of research this subject. Most animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this.
