5、Life comes in a package．This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair．Life is a learning process．Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person．With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations．
Love plays a main role in our life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could become cruel．In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care．They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad．But we don’t always care about it．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings．
Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind．No mind is happy without peace．Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure．But all of these things will pass away．
Failure is the path to success．It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way．Success brings in money, pride and self-respect．
Hope is what keeps life going．Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day．
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control．Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark．So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow．

12、There is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”, and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts (专家) use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight（超重）. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. But, a team of American scientists have found something new about eating sweet food.
“When we say some people ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps(也许) this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts.” said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character(性格) and behavior(行为) depending on their taste.”
In one of their experiments(实验),? students were asked questions about their character－whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
The result of the experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century.
