My mum once told me that after I learned to say "Mama" and "Dad", my third word was "no". Sadly, I used that word too 1. o as a boy. I didn't want to eat any vegetables. I didn't want to go to 2. b on time. I didn't want to work in the garden. I liked 3. r books more than helping do the housework. In other words, I was a brat(顽童).
As I grew up, I began to say "4. y" a lot more. I could remember making my bed and sweeping the floor. I felt 5. r glad to help my mother and father. I could remember studying hard to 6. g good grades in school and the happiness in my parents' eyes when I got into college. I found saying "yes" could bring more 7. j into my life than saying "no".
Even now, I am still trying my best to learn 8. h to say "yes". I still often say "no". But my only advice to you is not to wait. Say "yes" to life. Say "yes" to love. Saying "yes" can 9. m this world a better place. "Yes" may only be a word, but it can 10. c your life.

As an old saying goes, "Eyes are the windows of our mind." Eyes are very important to us. However, it seems that many people don't know the importance of 1. their eyes.
Nowadays, many people live a busy life and they have 2. time to take care of their "windows". Even when the eyes have something 3. , telling their owners that they are dry and uncomfortable, these people may just not care about them, and go on with their work. Studies take students a lot of time and they don't have time to take care of their eyes either. What's worse, some of them often do eye exercises 4. .
We all know that eyes work like cameras. When we use a camera to take photos, we adjust(调节) the focus(焦距) to make our photos become 5. . In our eyes, there are also lenses (晶状体) like cameras. But these lenses can't collect light on their 6. . The ciliary muscle(睫状肌) changes the shape of the lens.
When you work with your eyes for too long, the ciliary muscle will feel 7. . So it won't be able to help the lens 8. properly and we won't be able to see things clearly. If we often use eyes too much, we will probably get different eye 9. , such as short sight.
Many students have such an eye problem. They spend so much time doing their homework or playing computer games that their ciliary muscle can't get enough rest. As a result, more and more 10. have to wear glasses.

Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an 1. .
There was a farmer who grew corn all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market, and each time his corn was chosen as the 2. and won first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer would always 3. his seed corn to his neighbours.
"How can you share your good seed corn with your neighbours?" the reporter asked. "You know they take part in the competition with you every year."
"Well, you know, sir," said the farmer, "the wind will pick up pollen(花粉) from the corn and quickly 4. it from field to field. If my neighbours grow 5. corn, cross-pollination(异花传粉) will not be good for my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must 6. my neighbours to grow good corn."
As a great man says, "We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give to others." We can't live 7. food, clothes, or many other things. 8. , a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, but by how much we can give to others. Giving, not taking, will make us 9. from other animals. So those who choose to live well must help others to live well, and those who choose to be happy must help others to find 10. in their life.
