I used to feel I was the sun in my family．But when my cousin was born，everyone pays more attention to her．So I disliked her and couldn’t get along well with her. With time went on，I realized how ridiculous I have been at that time．I tried to find a proper time to apologize．When my cousin’s family came to my home a few day ago，I took my cousin to play outside．In the way to the playground．I bought much snacks for her．Then we began chat．When we talked about their childhood，suddenly，I said“sorry”gently．She was silently，so I thought that she hadn’t heard me clearly．But after while she said：“Don’t say that．In my memory，you are always friendly．”
A man looking at his smartphone while walking across a railway crossing in Nanjing 1. (have)a close knock on Oct 22．He was so2. (absorb) in his smartphone that he didn’t see a train approaching until it brushed past him， 3. (throw)him to the ground．This should serve 4. a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings．especially 5. crossing roads．
6. (1ucky)，the man survived a brush with death，but the incident forced the driver 7. (stop)the train．An l8-minute delay followed the incident，8. led to a break in the running of other trains on the route．
Smartphone 9. (addict)has spread like an infectious disease．It’s evident that it will do great harm to society．What’s even 10. (bad)，some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends．
Some people blame the smartphone for the tragedy，yet in tact people’s weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame．
Every Wednesday，I go to Cantata Adult Life Services，a local retirement community，with my classmates to do community service．
Our visits last about an hour, playing board games and cards with the residents we’re there．
You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about“life back then”，but nothing with talking to the people who were actually there．Just hearing their stories has me in a way never thought possible．
Whether it was talking to 98-year-old“Hurricane Hilda”about her glory days a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely impressed by every single the residents wanted to share with me．
Even the residents who don't have memories make the experience fulfilling．I remember visiting Mrs．Robinson．She couldn’t much about her past，but she told me she'd forget how kind I was just to listen to her“rambling(漫淡）”. It made the realize that it's the things that make life worth living．That’s something I won't anytime.
If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata，it's that -just being there-means more than anything to many of the residents．And despite how our lives are, there’s always time to make them happy．
For me，it feels great to be a of happiness，a smile on a bad day or a(n) for old memories．And at the end of the day，that’s all that ．
It’s easy to feel like you don’t have much in common with the -especially，when you’re a(n) ．But that's not true at a11．
I hate to make much comment here，but age really is just a(n) ．As young adults，it's important for us to realize this sooner later．We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often from teenagers，too．

Whether it is Mozart or Miley，your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well al your work．
A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry，proof reading and problem solving．
In an office-based experiment，88 pet cent of participants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music．
The study also found that 81 per cent completed their fastest work when music was played．
And it matters what type of music you listen to．For instance，if you’re doing your tax returns，then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills．
Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed，with 58 per cent of participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs．
During proof-reading，dance music，such as David Guetta，had the biggest positive impact with participants increasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests undertaken with no music at a11．
Dance music also had a positive effect on spell-checking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 percent when no music was played al a11．
The research，undertaken by Brighton-based Mindlab International，suggests that silent offices may be the least productive．
“The music experiment showed that when listening to music，nine out of 10 people performed better，”said Dr．David Lewis．Chairman of Mindlab International．
“Proper music enables people to quickly process and keep information，regulate their behaviors，make good choices，solve problems，plan and adjust to changing mental demands，”a senior investigator of Mindlab International explains．
“While many schools are cutting music programs and spending more and more time on test preparation，our findings suggest that musical training may actually help to set up children for a better academic future．”added D r．David Lewis．
