What a Firefighter’s Job Is Like
The damage that a fire can cause is obvious and
this is why the firefighters’ jobs are so important. Firefighters are usually the first ones responding to any type of emergency and perform many tasks, which include putting out burning buildings, helping out with medical emergencies, vehicle accidents and many other incidents. They must make sure their equipment is clean and all the items they use are in proper working order. Keeping their skills up to date is necessary. Therefore, they will be continually trained with new equipment and techniques. Because of the extreme conditions and also the stress associated with the emergency situations that arise, the firefighters definitely need to stay in shape for the work they must do. They will stay in the fire station while on duty. Unless the need to work on the trunks or respond to a call, they can eat, sleep, shower and watch TV at the fire station, just like at home.(160 words)

1. Feeling in Snow
As soon as I walked outside, I was greeted with the shimmering white blanket of cold. Despite the chill overwhelming my skin, inside I was warm. I felt as though I could be giving off heat; I had the desire to stay out in this freeze for hours. It was the type of day that speaks to you through its elements; I took a deep breath to hear more snow was coming.
As I walked I looked up, trying to realize what made this day so beautiful, so serene. It was as if time had been put temporarily on hold and I along with it. Or maybe I was the only one unpaused?Either way, the solitude was comforting, and I sensed myself floating away. I sat down on the edge of a curb and listened. All there was to hear was the wind rushing over the top of my head and circling some old, cracking leaves some yards away. To me it was the reassuring sound of nature, trying not to be forgotten.
It did start to snow. None of those little flurries, but big, fat flakes which clung immediately to their surface.
The
中文翻譯：
剛出門，便撲面而來一大片晶瑩雪白的冰涼。冷氣襲來，肌膚陣陣戰(zhàn)栗，而內(nèi)心卻溫暖如初。覺得自己似乎能發(fā)熱，因而渴望在這寒冷中長時間駐足。這是一個大自然與你交流的日子。我深深地吸了一口氣，靜聽雪花飄落，源源不絕。
漫步雪中，舉目四顧，我努力思索是什么竟然能夠把這一天變得如此美麗和寧靜。那一刻，時間仿佛靜止了，而我也定在其中�；蛘�，只有我一個人在前行??
無論如何，這種孤寂卻令人欣慰。我仿佛脫離了塵世。坐在路邊，仔細聆聽。只有風從頭頂掠過，卷走幾碼遠的干枯樹葉。在我心中，這是大自然給人安慰、令人難忘的聲音。
真的下雪了!不是零星小雪，而是鵝毛大雪，一落地就凝結(jié)在一起了。
該結(jié)束沉思離開了!我舉步前行時，思緒又轉(zhuǎn)回到現(xiàn)實中來，而此時感覺如此平靜，如此清新。
我實在記不得我要往何處去了!
2.生活的樂趣
Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy don not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as
naturally as bird sings.
We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.
中文翻譯：
生活之樂趣來源于良好的情緒，信賴這些情緒，并任由它們?nèi)缤B兒高翔于天空般地自由自在。生活的樂趣是無法靠姿態(tài)擺出來的，也無法用戴上一張面具來偽裝。 擁有這種樂趣的人們無需掛在嘴邊，他們自然會煥發(fā)出快樂的氣息。他們自己生活在快樂當中，也將這樣的快樂自然而然地感染著他人，猶如是鳥兒就必將歌唱。
直接追求生活的樂趣卻只會使樂趣遠離我們，它與幸福一樣青睞胸有大志的人們。生活過得高雅、簡單便會產(chǎn)生出樂趣。它是我們對生活的投入，而非所求。
3.我命運，我把握(不斷超越自己)
正如世界上沒有兩片相同的葉子，我們每個人都是獨一無二的。相信自己，命運就掌握在我們的手中。
Consider? YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a
gazillion?
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!
You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.
Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.
Paint a Masterpiece.
God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.
中文翻譯：
試想一下??你!一個空前絕后的你，不論是以往還是將來都不會有一個跟你一模一樣的人。你在歷史上和宇宙中都是獨一無二的。哇!想想吧，你是萬里挑一、億里挑一、兆里挑一的。
在無窮無盡的宇宙中，你是舉世無雙的。
你是了不起的!你是卓越的!沒錯，就是你。你已經(jīng)是了不起的，
是卓越的，你還可以更卓越更了不起。美麗的年輕人是大自然的奇想，而美麗的老人卻是藝術(shù)的杰作。但你不會因為年齡的漸長就自然而然地變得“美麗”。
真正的美麗源于生命里的學習、成長和熱愛。這就是生命的藝術(shù)。你可以只聽天由命, 慢慢地學，有時候或許會很痛苦。又或許你可以選擇加速自己的成長，故意地揮霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描繪自己未來的藝術(shù)家。
畫出一幅杰作吧。
上帝給了鳥兒食物，但他沒有將食物扔到它們的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做決定的還是你自己。
4. 掌握未來：我們正在起跑點
"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite---"
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don't want it

Children should not have to do heavy work
It is not a good idea for children to have to work hard. Children should study in school as hard as they can. They should not have to do heavy work with their bodies. When parents or others force children to work hard, the results are never good and may be very bad.
A farmer`s son who has to work hard like a man may early learn to hate farming. Children sometimes do too much work in gardens, in shops or even in their own own homes.
They soon begin to hate such kind of work with force that can destroy their happiness. But there may be a worse loss: a child`s love for his parents. The feeling may become something different. When that happens, the old kind of love never returns.

The effect of the blood group on personality
Your blood group hides no secrets, it shows the "real you." If you belong to blood group O, you can get things done and sell the goods well. Blood group A are the thinkers,while blood group B are highly creative, people belonging to blood group B might be good at painting and writing. And if you have problems, ask the ABs to solve them.
Your blood group could affect your work. So if you visited the Japanese company, you would find the O types out selling goods and A types keeping order in the office.

Dogs
People often say that a dog is man's best friend. Over thousands of years, man has taught his dogs to do many kinds of work besides guarding the home. For example, sheepdogs are famous for their ability to control a flock of hundreds of sheep.
Dogs have been used to aid disabled people for centuries. A guide dog can lead its blind owner. Nowadays, dogs can be taught to turn on light switches, open refrigerator doors and dial the telephone for their disabled owners. For the majority of people, however, dogs are simply pets and friends for both young and old members of the family.
guard 看守，看護 sheepdog 牧羊犬 flock 群 aid 幫助
disabled 殘疾人 century 世紀guide dog 導(dǎo)盲犬 dial 撥 majority 大多數(shù)
狗
人們總是說狗是人類最好的朋友。幾千年來，除了看家外，人類還教會了狗去做許多其他的事，例如，牧羊犬就因其可以控制數(shù)百只羊的羊群而出名。
狗用來幫助殘疾人已有好幾個世紀了。導(dǎo)盲犬可以為盲主人引路�，F(xiàn)在，人們還教狗為殘疾主人打開電燈、開冰箱和撥電話。然而，對于大多數(shù)人來說，狗只是家里老人和孩子們的寵物和朋友。

A Joke— “I stand corrected”
I have this friend who always seemed to lean slightly to the left all the time. It used to bother me, so I suggested he see a doctor, and have his legs checked out. For years, he refused and told me I was crazy, but last week, he finally went. Sure enough, the doctor discovered his left leg was a quarter inch shorter than his right. A quick bit of surgery later, he was cured, and both legs are exactly the same length now, and he no longer leans. “So,”I said, "You didn't believe me when I told you a doctor could fix your leg. He just looked at me and said, "I stand corrected.

The Hare and the Tortoise
One day a hare was telling the other animals how fast he could run. "I can beat anyone!"cried he. "Will one of you try a race with me?"
"I will,?said the tortoise.
"You!?laughed the hare. "Oh, oh, how funny!?
"Save your laughing for the end of the race,?said the tortoise.
So a starting line was made, and away they went. The hare ran fast and was soon far ahead, so he sat down to rest. By the time the tortoise came up, the hare was sleeping.
On and on went the tortoise, and when the hare looked up at last, it was too late.
There sat the tortoise by the sign that said: The End.

An eagle was trying to break open a nut in his beak when a raven landed on a branch beside him. The raven eyed the nut hopefully, "You'll never break it like that,"he said. "If I were you I would fly up in the sky as high as I
could, then drop the nut onto the rocks. It's the only way you'll get at the kernel."
The eagle flew up into the sky, then let the nut fall down, down, down to the
