One day, a strong woodcutter found a new job at a timer(木材) company. Because he was 41 the pay and the work, the man decided to work as hard as he could.
His boss gave him an axe (斧子) and told him 42 he should work by showing him around. On his first day, the woodcutter cut down 18 trees. “Amazing!

Larry seemed always silent and didn’t have any friends. His teacher Mr. White 161 this. One day, he asked Larry to meet him after class. Mr. White said, “I see that you don’t talk to anyone or show any 162 in anything. What’s wrong ” Larry replied, “Sir, I have a very difficult life. I have to face some very sad things and I keep 163 them. Because of this, I can’t focus my attention on anything and don’t even feel like talking to anybody.”
Mr. White listened carefully, thought for a while and said, “Would you like some lemonade ” Larry felt little 164 and nervously replied, “Yes, thank you!”
While 165 lemonade, Mr. Brown added more salt on purpose（故意地）and kept the quantity（数量）of sugar low. Larry made a 166 face as soon as he took a sip of that lemonade. Seeing this, Mr. White asked, “You don’t like it ”
“Um…it’s just there is a bit too much salt in it,” Larry answered.
Mr. White stopped him, “Oh, it doesn’t matter. I will throw it away.” As the teacher was lifting the glass, Larry stopped him and said, “Sir, please don’t throw it away. 167 we put a little more sugar in the lemonade, it will be fine to drink.”
Hearing this Mr. Brown said happily, “This is what I want to hear from you. To improve the 168 of lemonade, we don’t need to remove the salt from it, we can just add some sugar to it. Similarly, we cannot remove sad things that have 169 happened to us, but we can add sweetness of good experiences in our life. If you keep on crying about your 170 , neither your present will be right nor the future will be bright.”
Larry realized his problem and promised to live a positive life.

Last year, a group of elephants made a decision(决定): go north! After months of traveling, they 171 it 500 kilometers away from their home in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. And it seems that they are not going to 172 their trip anytime soon. “Asian elephants often stay within certain areas. It’s very 173 to see them travel such a long way,” said Chen Mingyong, a life sciences professor at Yunnan University.
Scientists are 174 not sure why they are doing this. Some believe it’s because they are looking for better food. According to Zhao Huaidong from the International Fund for Animal Welfare, the number of Asian elephants is 175 because of human protection efforts(努力). So their old homes might not have enough food for them. Meanwhile, the crops, vegetables and fruit that people grow are quite attractive to elephants.
176 possibility, according to Chen, is that they have lost their way. Some scientists also believe that they are traveling due to migratory instinct(迁徙本能). Recent solar activity has changed Earth’s magnetic field(磁场). This might make the elephants think that they 177 migrate.
During their long journey, the 15 elephants have already damaged 561,333 square meters of crops and caused economic losses of nearly 6.8 million yuan. But since they are 178 Class-A protection in China, the same as the giant panda, we need to protect them. To ensure the safety of both humans and the elephants, people have fed them tons of food to guide them 179 from towns and cities. Seventy-six police cars and trucks and nine drones(无人机) have been used to keep an 180 on the elephants. Scientists also suggest that we should use harmless fences(栅栏) to guide them on their way home.

Dear World,
My son starts school today. It’s going to be strange and new to him for a while. And I wish you would be nice to him.
You see, he has been 181 of his own room until now. He has been boss of the backyard. I have always been around to 182 him and make him feel better.

Teach him to believe in his own ideas when he thinks he is 186 .
Teach him to stand and fight 187 something is unfair (不公平).

Teach him gently, World, but don’t protect him from 189 . Facing difficulties will make him 190 .

Yours,
A worried mother
