A
When I was a boy, we had a tiny television set. It only had one channel. Still, I would always be in my chair when cartoons came on.
The one I liked best was The Jetsons (《杰森一家》). It was a cartoon series set in a future that was full of fantastic machines that could do anything. I always smiled when I watched it and dreamed of a day when I would have machines like this to do all my work, so I could just sit back and relax.
Now my life is full of machines like these. But if anything, I seem to have more to do than ever. Just today I had to spend most of the morning downloading a new version of my word processing program(文字处理程序)so I could write this article. When I first started out, I wrote my stories on lined notebook(横线笔记本)paper and it took half the time. Last week, I spent most of another morning trying to get my new coffee maker to work right. I seem to be drowning in a sea of new rules and problems that come with new technology.
Now don't get me puters and machines have done a lot to help all of us. I just want us to be able to use them without them using us. We always seem to be busy because we re spending all of our time using these machines.
I hope that in the future, machines can be more user-friendly so we don't spend all our time on them. With machines we can live an easier life, but they can never replace time spent with family and friends.

For the last three nights, I haven't slept too well. I wake up an hour earlier than normal and then I'm unable to get back to sleep. I was a bit tired when I went into my bedroom to watch TV this evening. The nightly news was its usual horror show. I turned it off and put on some music instead. I picked up a book and tried to read, but could feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Finally, I closed them and laid my book on the table. A nap would be just what I needed.
After a while, I felt something rousing(唤醒)me. It was warm breath hitting me right in the face. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a long, sweet-looking face covered in white and gold fur. Its pink nose was breathing on me and its big, brown eyes were looking at me with love. I smiled and said, "Hello Fluffy. "Suddenly my face was covered in dog kisses. I hugged his neck, and laughed as he continued to shower me with his love. I thought to myself: "If only we humans could love each other as purely(纯真地)as our dogs love us, and what a wonderful world this would be. "
Dogs are our best friends and greatest teachers of love. We should not forget their lessons. We should give our hearts freely and our love joyfully. We should live our lives on the side of love. We should spend our days creating happiness and making this world a better place. We should see everyone as our brothers and sisters. We should love ourselves and everyone else.

If there is one thing I have missed the most during the COVID-19 pandemic(大流行), it has been seeing other people smile. When every face has a mask on it, you might feel safer. But your soul might start to feel sick. Over these last months, I've learned to notice the sparkle(闪光)in people's eyes that they still have when they smile from behind a mask. Still, it isn't quite the same.
I cherish every smile like a treasure. As I grew up, my mom's smile added joy to my days. I am so happy that it lives on today in the faces of my children. My grandma's smile always had a happy "Hello!" to go along with it. My dad's smile was more rare, but I always loved seeing it.
Over the years, I have also learned a lot about smiles. I read once that "We don't smile because we are happy. We are happy because we smile. "I also read that" I have never seen a smiling face that wasn't beautiful. "And I know that both of these things were true. What I remember most, though, is something I once heard from my teacher. He said, "If nobody wants us to be happy, why does smiling feel so good and frowning feel so bad "
It doesn't matter if you are wearing a mask or not. It doesn't matter if your teeth are white or yellow, many or few. Show the world your smile. Smiles lift our spirits. Smiles share our love. Smiles spread our joy. Smiles shine our light. Smiles warm our hearts. Smiles make the world a better place. One of the greatest, kindest and most loving things you can do is give another person your smile.
