After the classmates reunion, some graduates decided to visit their old university professor.

        The conversation soon turned into1about stress in work and life.2his guests with coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and3with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some4, some expensive, some exquisite—5them to help themselves to the coffee.

        When all the students had a cup of coffee6, the professor said, “7you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up,8the plain and cheap ones. While it is9for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the10of your problems and stress. "

        "Be assured that the cup itself adds no11 to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even12what we drink. "

        "What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you13went for the best cups... and then you began14each others’ cups.”

      “Now consider this: life is the15; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not16, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only17the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee.18the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups19you ... enjoy the coffee20.”  

    Among the many things that Brisbane(布里斯班) Australia does really well，is the care for kids.Here's a list of places that we think will be suitable for your kids.

Swimming pools

    Simple way for happiness：mix kids with water.Of course，this is a choice for the hot summer months.

Parks

    Free outdoor fun—that's what Brisbane's parks offer kids of all ages.Parks encourage imagination and activity for little people and a place for parents to let them run wild.

The Children's Art Centre

    The Children's Art Centre has proven very popular with their programs and exhibitions.We love the artist－run workshops and performances (unusually you must pay some money) specially designed for children too.

South Bank Parklands

    South Bank Parklands has everything you need to keep little ones amused.Take them for a swim at the man－made beach，play on one of the playgrounds by the river.On weekends，go through the arts market or go to a cheap movie at the South Bank cinema.South Bank Parklands often hosts free events and performances too.

Roma Street Parkland

    Close to bus transport，this inner city parkland is easily accessible(可进入的) and ideal for kids of all ages.Younger kids can take a trip on the Jelly Bean Express，a 1.3 km trackless train ride around the parkland or there's a playground to explore.Free entry and open daily.

Skating and climbing

    We love the places that let the kids expend all that youthful energy.Take them roller skating(滑旱冰) or ice skating.Or try rock climbing at a variety of indoor and outdoor places around Brisbane.

I left England for Sydney in September. It was a career move for my husband, and our 20-year-old daughter was feeling adventurous and decided to come, too. However, just before leaving England, my 79-year-old mother suffered a stroke (中风). Being strong and independent, she continued to live at home with the help of social services. But she couldn't look after the garden. I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organization offering volunteer help. Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia, and I told them I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening organization. Imagine my surprise when I found just the organization I had been looking for—Easy Care Gardening (ECG)!

There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG. Firstly, as a newcomer to Australia I meet many great people who, like me, volunteer some of their time. We cover a large age range, but all love gardens and helping others.

Secondly, through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydney's North Shore that I might not have had the opportunity to visit otherwise.

Finally, there are all those wonderful people who we call "clients (客户)", but are more like friends when we visit them often and help with their gardens. What great people I have met, and stories they have to tell—the family histories, where they come from and the reasons for immigrating to Australia. I find it a privilege(特权) to have access to private gardens which, in many cases, have been the joy of their owners for many years. Each one is individual and reflects the character, needs and the history of each family. Indeed, the gardens reflect the historical background of Sydney.

When you learn a new subject, you may always consider how much time you need to truly understand it all. Here we give you some advice about how to study, so you'll be able to take on more information with shorter study sessions (时段).

•Study in small sessions. Our ability to store the information we take reduces(降低) after around 30 minutes, so you'd better cut your studying sessions into smaller parts.

•Find a study area. Don't study in a place where you sleep! Don't study in your bed, where you play games, or in front of the TV. Why? You need to program your mind to study in a place where you always study.

•Take good notes.  And review them after class to increase your understanding.

• To be a good student, you should be a good teacher. You cannot teach something you do not know.

Louis Pasteur was a French scientist who developed cures for many dangerous (illness). He also successfully invented a way to kill bacteria in milk and make it safe to drink.

He (receive) a Doctor of Science degree in 1847. While (work) at the University of Lille, Pasteur discovered fermentation, a chemical change used to make bread, cheese and other foods, involved germs.

In 1881 he conducted an experiment to try out his vaccine (疫苗) for anthrax, which was  success.

Yesterday afternoon my friends, Xiao Ming, and I went skating on the lake. As soon as we got here, we began to skate happily. Suddenly, I noticed something usual. The moment I warned Xiao Ming to take care of, the ice broke but he slipped into the water. I had no choice but cry for help. After hearing my cry, a young man rushed over, jumped into the lake and tried my best to swim towards Xiao Ming, that was struggling in the cold water. At last, Xiao Ming was saved but the young man left without say anything. We were all deeply moved by what he have done.
