Recently,I felt like I reached a very low point in life. My relationships weren't good. I wasn't enjoying my classes,and I felt like I had nothing to 1       .My life seemed to be full of endless homework,tests and loneliness. Nothing anyone said seemed 2       to me. I wasn't sure what to do about myself. All I wanted was to be happy again， but I didn't know who or what would 3       that.

During these days,I had trouble sleeping. I had to take sleeping pills but still woke up in the midnight. I had no 4       but to tell my dad. He 5       the book TheSecret.I immediately bought the e-book online and read the whole thing that night. I'm 6       quite a stubborn person,but the effect on my mood after finishing the book was7       Suddenly,I felt like life was beautiful again. I had never felt such a deep and quick8       in my life before.

In fact,the book's message was very simple― think positively(積極地) .The book had many success stories about how people were able to 9       money,soulmates(心靈伙伴) and old friends back into their lives. I started learning to thank everything in my life like them. Little by little,I realized that TheSecretcould only work 10      I believed these people's success stories.

Now I'm sure I can bring myself happiness.

In today's world of mobile phones,MP5 players and minicomputers,most people have at least one time-telling tool with them. Since these small machines are so common,will people stop wearing the 500-year-old watches? According to some people,yes. A teenager says it's unnecessary to wear a watch. Many young people agree―and use their mobile phones to tell time. Louis Galie，a president, said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago.

However,watchmakers say that watches get popular again when people reach their 20s and 30s. By then,they want to spend money on a nice time-telling tool which doesn't just keep good time. For this reason,the watch industry has become an accessory business(配件業(yè)) in recent years.

Today's offer a lot of uses that meet

the need of almost any personality(個(gè)性) .They can be used as compasses(指南針) ，calendars, and even USB drives…

People are always trying their best to create new kinds of watches. A certain watchmaker business makes watches that don't even look like watches. Their popular model uses different color lights to tell the time. Another watchmaker business,makes a "handless" watch,using a ring of circles to keep time. This watch makes people talk a lot about modern watches.

Whether a watch expresses fashion sense， creative ability or a love of sports,people want their time-telling tools to be beautiful, fashionable and practical. All in all,a watch has become more important than the time it tells.

A science teacher wants to show some idea to his students. He takes a large-mouth bottle and 1     several large stones in it. He then asks the class, "Is the bottle full now?" They all reply, "Yes!"

The teacher then takes some small rocks and puts them into the 2      . The small rocks go into the 3      between the big rocks. He then asks "Is it full?" This time some students give no answer,but most reply, "Yes！”

One 7      student answers  "No matter how 8      you are,you can always find time to do some more things. ""No," says the teacher, "the point is that 9      you don't place the big rocks into the bottle first,you'll never get them in.丁he big rocks are the 10      things in your life. If you fill your life with small things―as shown by the small rocks,the sand and the water—you'll never have the time for the important things."

Start the day in the English way

What do you like to have when you wake up?

Do you like to have a①         / J"au3 / ，a cup of

tea or a piece of fruit?

How about eggs，pork，sausages，beans in tomato sauce,bread and mushrooms, all cooked in an oily frying pan?

This is，according to tales，the traditional British breakfast,otherwise(否則)  known as the "Full English" or "Fry Up". It's meaty,fatty,salty and unhealthy,and it's served all day,every day.

We British proudly tell the story of how,when most people worked as farmers, they needed a "real" breakfast―a "British breakfast" to get them started for a long day's work.

Nowadays, we often continue,②the" Full English" is eaten daily by truck drivers and builders,who also work long hours and don't have regular meals.

But does every British person really chew(咀嚼) through this daily mountain?

A recent survey of those builders I mentioned before—showed that less than 1 percent had a regular "Fry Up" and most actually preferred salad or sushi.③In fact, studies show that about two-thirds of British people don't eat breakfast at all.

But then,how often do you eat Beijing Roast Duck,go to Chinese opera or do a Sichuanese mask-changing dance?

We love to talk about how much we love our

traditions―even if we only actually④       

/'kaen/ them out when guests are around. In fact,many British people don't actually know how to make a British breakfast—which is why cafes are so good at serving them to tourists.

I did know one person who ate a British breakfast every morning,though—my grandfather.

⑤他不是英國(guó)人。He was from the Netherlands.

Maybe he wanted to surprise the crowd with his own strange tradition―being the only person eating a British breakfast,and the only non-British person in the room.
