A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly vanishing(消失)into the sand.

After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself. At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can not.”

“That’s becauseyou can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.

Some bad habits are making you grow old fast. Cut down the following habits today for a more beautiful, healthier tomorrow.

◆ Waiting for your sadness to go away

Sadness isn't just uncomfortable; it also makes you become older fast. If you've been fighting with your sadness for more than two weeks, be sure to find professional help. Paying no attention to your sadness or just waiting without doing anything can do harm to your mental health and make you older.

◆ Having a cigarette or two on weekends

If you smoke only when you are with your friends on weekends, can you keep away from the harmful effects of smoking? The answer is"No". Smoking can break down your skin's elasticity（弹性）. Your smoking habit may even make your hair become gray. Changing your smoking habit is changing your life.

◆ Having a long to do list day after day

It's natural to have a to-do list in our "go, go, go" daily life. But if you're always running from one thing to the next, and caught in too much business, you are turning older fast, because your too long to-do list makes you tired and under lots of stress. Stress can cause heart disease, high blood pressure and other physical diseases. It can also cause mental health problems or make the problems worse and worse.

66. ______ some bad _______ and you will get a more beautiful and healthier tomorrow.

67. If you don’t ______ _______ your sadness or just wait without doing anything, you may become older soon.

68. Smoking may ______ to the damage ______ your skin’s elasticity.

69. You will get older fast _______ you are too tired and ______ for a long time.

70. Stress can not ______ cause physical diseases but _____ mental health problems.

Time and Tide Wait for No Man

Good morning, everyone!

It's my great honor to have a chance to make a speech here. The topic of my speech today is “Time and Tide Wait for No Man”.

In my understanding the proverb means that if we allow the invaluable time to waste, it never comes back to you. As a Senior Three student, time is limited for study, so none can afford to waste time.

I still remember the golden time in playing two years ago, as a consequence of which I fell far behind others. Realizing that opportunity seldom knocks twice, I seized every moment to study. Gradually I made great progress and was awarded the honorable title of “Star of Progress”. Dear fellows, with Gaokao drawing near, we should not be content with what we have done. Value your time from now on and it will bring you benefits.

That's all. Thanks for your listening.
