Big things were happening to my life in the summer when I turned 13. In the middle of that summer, I was1when my parents told me they were getting divorced (离婚的). I couldn't believe that our family was going to 2. Though I always knew my parents weren't very happy and that they often fought, I still wanted my family to stay the same.

My life changed completely after the divorce. My3and I moved into a small apartment across the town, while my father and my brother, Bill, stayed in our house. 1 became a visitor 4I went to see my dad and Billon the weekend. And immediately I had my stepfather, Dan,5 l showed no interest in. Then I realised that there was no way that things could change back 6the way we used to be.

Although I refused all Dan's attempts to get to know me and wasn't very nice to him, he never gave7Gradually, I began to trust him. I realised that we actually had some things in common, especially when 8came to movies and TV shows. We spent a lot of time together9out to watch movies. That gave us a chance to talk and get to know each other more deeply.

Better still, Dan showed an interest in me that I had10experienced from my own father. Dan was always around when I needed 11 on school or friends. Once I began to 12 Dan, the three of us began spending a lot of time together. Eventually, I discovered that I finally had the happy family that I had always 13.

I now realise my parents were 14about getting the divorce. Their breakup was the best thing for all of us. My father also found happiness—he remarried and had another child.

At 13, I 15 an important truth-change is not always the worst thing that can happen. Sometimes, it is just what we need most.

My parents are always worried about me. They (支配) every minute of my life. They help me do almost every task. Actually, I'm unhappy and bored with their (命令). I even wish I could stay at home alone every day.

My wish came true yesterday. My parents said to me," We'll go away on business for a meeting. It's so important that we can't (未出席) it.

If you are alone at home, what will you do? Will you feel bored? You'd better explore a hobby. Having a hobby helps to make you a more interesting person. It can also help you to avoid feeling bored and often provides the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests. Let's read the passage and find the ways:

Think of a hobby that might interest you. It might be an interest that you always wished you had time and money to enjoy. Ask yourself these questions: Why do I love doing this thing? Is it worth spending my time on this activity?

Collect things. Think about collecting stamps and what you might need to do to start and maintain a collection. Think of other items you might like to collect, such as coins, dolls or chocolate wrappers.

Discover art for a hobby. Have you ever been to a museum, looked at the paintings on the walls, and wondered if you could do the same thing? How about trying painting for yourself—in oils or water colours? Or maybe you can try drawing with charcoal (木炭)or coloured pencils.

Enjoy sports as a hobby. Watch soccer, basketball, golf, athletics or tennis tournaments on television or at your local sports ground. You can also play games with your friends or family members. Think about what it will cost, and the time it will take to learn and play.

Search the Internet or visit a local library for more information. Look for information about the hobby you are interested in. Find out if you will have to buy something for your hobby. Sometimes even a store owner is the person to ask, as he or she can order the things you need.

Australian children are joining a bear hunt (搜索), making paths around the neighbourhood (街区)lots of fun during the COVID-19 epidemic.

People have been putting teddy bears and other soft toys in windows and trees. These toys bring happiness to children and parents while they are having a walkout doors.

The idea of the hunt comes from the children's book We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury. The characters in it sing, "We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day. We're not scared(害怕的). "

To ensure people's safety, the organizer of the activity advises people to search for teddy bears in their own community. What's more, people should wear masks and stay two metres away from each other.

The idea has been widely shared on the Internet across Australia and then other countries. A parent said, "Every time you see a teddy bear, you know its owner loves the community and children. It encourages people, especially children, to be optimistic in the hard times. This game reminds (提醒)us that we're part of the neighbourhood and we are all going through this together. "

Other communities around the world are also getting creative while they are waiting out the COVID-19 epidemic at home. Rainbow Trail is one of the encouraging games in England. Hundreds of rainbows and messages of kindness have been shown on windows to cheer up passers-by.

Once upon a time, there lived a wise (聪明的)man. But his son always wasted his time doing something meaning less. As the wise man grew older, he began to worry about his son's future.

One day, the man said, "My son, you have grown up. l want you to find the real purpose of your life. "Then he handed his son a bag filled with clothes and food. The wise man continued, "I hid treasure someplace. Here's a map. Go to find it. "

The next day, the son excitedly set off. With many people's help, he finally reached his destination（目的地), but he found nothing. He was so tired that he decided to return.

On his way back, he often stopped to enjoy the beautiful flowers and watch the sunset. He learned to cook meals and wash clothes. He also learned how to protect himself from wild animals. He met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time he helped them in return.

Two years later, he got home. He said to his father, "Dad, excuse me for not finding the treasure."

"It doesn't matter. How was your journey? "

"At first, l was worried somebody else would find the treasure. So I hurried to the place, "the son continued. "But I did enjoy the journey on my way back home. I made friends and saw wonders happen every day. I also learned different skills. These made me forget the pain of not finding the treasure. "

"That's why I sent you to find the treasure, "the father said.
