    A doctor entered the hospital in a hurry after being called in for an urgent 1. He answered the call as soon as possible, changed his clothes and went directly to the operation block.

    He found the boy's father 2 in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad shouted, "Why did you take all the 3 to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? Don't you have any sense of responsibility?"

    The doctor smiled and said, "I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital and I 4 as fast as I could after receiving the call……And now, I wish you'd calm down 5 I can do my work."

    "Calm down? What if your son is in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son is 6 now, what will you do?" said the father 7.

    The doctor smiled again and replied," I will say what Job said in the Bible 'From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed by the name of God'. 8 cannot extend (延伸) lives. Go and pray for your son. We will do our best by God's grace."

    "Giving advice when we're not concerned is so easy." murmured the father. The operation took some hours 9 the doctor went out happily.

    "Thank goodness! Your son is saved!" And without waiting for the father's reply, he carried on his 10 running. "If you have any question, ask the nurse!"

    "Why is he so 11? He couldn't wait some minutes so that I could ask about my son's 12?" commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left. The nurse answered, 13 coming down her face, "His son died yesterday in a road accident. He was in the funeral (葬礼) when we called him for your son's operation. 14 now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's funeral."

    Never 15 anyone easily because you never know how their life is and what they're experiencing.

    On September 13th, I woke up in the best mood. It was a late start, so I got tosleep in. Not only did I get my full eight hours of sleep, but an additional two more hours as well. I got ready, danced in my room to my favorite music while I picked out my clothes, made my breakfast, and was on my way to school. I arrived at 9: 50 a. m. Little did I know, in the next 20 minutes, my life would change forever. As I got out of my classroom, there he was, holding the gun.

    Although everything happened so fast, in a matter of about 4 minutes, I remember it clearly. I remember every face I saw, and I remember every sound I heard. I remember the fear and the panic of the unknown. And lastly, I remember running. Running for my life. I ran down the stairs, out of the school's front doors, and down the street to the primary school. I remember looking down at my feet. As I looked down, I thought to myself, "How am I running so fast?"

    I finally made it to a safe classroom, and 20 other students and I settled in for lockdown. We stayed close to one another and cried. It felt as though the tears going down our faces would never stop. We passed our phones around to text our loved ones that we were safe and that there was a school shooter, shots were fired, and 4 students were injured thus far.

    The lockdown lasted about 30 minutes, even though it felt like forever. Our headmaster made his way to our room and explained that the shooter had been caught and we were all going to make our way to the football field.

    Are you nearsighted? If you are, your parents might have tried to do something to fix it, such as having you get an eye massage (按摩), take medicine or even get surgery. People who offer these services or products often claim that they can reduce or even cure myopia (治愈近视).

    However, you will no longer see advertisements like this before long. The government has issued a notice targeting advertisements that make these claims. Specifically, the notice bans (禁止) businesses from using wording like "recovery" and "myopia cure" in their advertisements, People's Daily reported.

    The notice says that myopia cannot be completely cured with current medical technology. Therefore, these advertisements could mislead children and their parents.

    Young people can prevent and control myopia by spending more time outside and less time in front of books or computers. People who have vision problems should go to a hospital and let a doctor decide what to do.

    More than 450 million Chinese were suffering from myopia as of June 2018, Xinhua News Agency reported. Myopia rates are around 30 percent for primary school students, 60 percent for junior high students and 80 percent for senior high students. This is likely because students spend a lot of time reading books and using electronic devices (电子产品).

    To reduce myopia among young people, the government made a new plan last August. The plan is designed to limit the amount of time children spend playing video games, as well as limit the production of new video games, according to China Daily.

    Everyone has heard of the American Dream, which for many means having a big house, an expensive car, and a good job. But a survey has revealed that attitudes toward success in the US are changing and material possessions are less important than before.

    Of the nearly 2, 200 US adults who were surveyed, 61 percent said they define other people's success by their happiness levels, not their money. And most people think that health, a good relationship, and an enjoyable job, rather than a well-paid one are the top five important things to personal success.

    It is the financial crisis (财政危机) helped people to realize what is really important in their life.

    Peter, a US citizen, is one of them. In 2007, when he was 29, Peter was earning $100, 000 (605,112yuan) a month and owned several houses and cars. When the financial crisis hit in 2009, he lost everything. But instead of feelingdevastated, Peter found happiness. "I began to realize the things I had overlooked(忽略): my children, my health, and my friends. And the best part of it was this was all free," he said, "I was actually ashamed I had made so much money but I never helped anyone but myself. I could have done so many positive things with the money I have."

    "Happiness can be bought," a professor from Harvard University said, "if you spend the money on life experiences and other people. The more you devoted, the more you get back."
