The sky is large place, and though it has been carefully examined for centuries, new features still turn up. Last March it was the rule of Uranus (天王星), and last week astronomers announced what may turn out to be a new planet, though a very small one, in the solar system.

    The object was first sighted last month by Charles Kowal, an astronomer at the Hale Observatories in Pasadena, Calif. Mr. Kowal observed a faint trail of light on photographic plates, indicating that something was moving in relation to the background of stars. Other observers have confirmed the discovery.

    The “mini-planet”, identified for the time being as “Object-Kowal”, appears to be about 1.5 billion miles away, between the orbit of Saturn and Uranus, and its diameter (直径) has been estimated at between 100 and 400 miles. Its orbit has not been determined yet, but if the orbit proves to be roughly circular, like that of the major planets, the new object would probably take 66 to 70 years to make a circuit of the sun.

    Some astronomers have speculated that Mr. Kowal's discovery may be the first indication of an asteroid (小行星) belt beyond Saturn.

    Recently I failed an exam. However, after I came out of my teacher's office, I told myself, “Smile! It's not so serious.”

    I smiled a big smile and it worked a little, really.

    Everyone gets frustrated sometimes. I used to be always influenced by {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (press) and I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) often in low spirits. But one day I came {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a sentence in the Bible. “Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself, let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.” It suddenly struck me, “{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (worry) about a problem doesn't help. Why not just give a big smile and face up the trouble?”

    Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that laughter is better than {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (tear) and anger. I{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (convince) that there's something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me the courage to move on.

    Remember, whenever {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (face) with a setback, whenever you've been treated {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (unfair),{#blank#}9{#/blank#} it takes is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} it will shine on you.

Dear Andy,

    You ask about my health your last letter. So I am going to tell you anything about it. I think I am very healthily. That's why my family live near the sea and we have fish about four time a week. That my mom cooks for us is always delicious. My family don't eat much fat and sugar either. There are some photos taking last week in the letter that I hope you like them.

    Goodbye.

    The most important lessons in life that we need to learn are the results of our poor decisions. Although time and experience are the best teachers, we also suffer from experiences such as our sacrifices, suffering and the hardships. Good judgment develops only when we truly learn from our mistakes. However, many people keep repeating the same mistakes before learning their lessons because as they say, they are just humans who are subject to making mistakes.

Our weaknesses in life can be turned into our strengths if we immediately acknowledge and recognize the fact that we mess up and learn from them. Our good or bad experiences help us learn better judgment in life. Yet, too many people are in denial and place the blame on others without realizing that the minute they take responsibility for their action is when the learning process begins. Apart from learning from our own experience, we can also learn valuable lessons from the experience of others. It allows us to observe our behavior from another angle. When we recognize our mistakes and prevent them from happening again, we are, therefore, learning.

    Quickly identifying our mistakes and changing behavior accordingly requires less time and energy than denying mistakes. However, acknowledgement of mistakes requires belief in the idea that the perfection is not possible.

    It is easier to analyze our mistakes especially when we talk to others, which can help people to sort out comments or criticisms after a mistake is made. Despite our tendency to avoid mistakes, timely acknowledgement is one of the best ways to prevent them from repeating.

    In England, there is a nice cottage with a large garden where lives an old man. The1where bees and butterflies dance and gorgeous flowers2all year around is so well-tended that every passer-by cannot but stop for a3.

    One day a young painter4this garden and he was totally lost in admiration at its beauty5how happy he could be if he lived in such a6place. Then, suddenly he found the old gardener was blind.7 the painte8that old man, asking “Why are you busy9these flowers which you can't see as a matter of fact?” The blind gardener said10 “I can tell you four reasons. First, I was a gardener when I was young, and I really like this job. Second11I can't see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can12he sweetness of them. As to the last one, that's you.”

     “Me?13you don't know me.” responded the painter.

    "Yeah. But I know flowers are angels which everyone knows and would14turn them down. People who love life would stop by and thi15prospect would have their eyes16and hearts pleased. Mean while, it also extends a17to me to have a word with you here.”

    Actually, the blind man18flowers in his heart. Failing the19of the beauty of blossoming, he surely can20he voice of it, I suppose.

    Ways To Manage Stress Creatively

    Stress is a huge problem for us all. Here's what I've learned and applied to manage stress using my creativity.

    1）{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Putting my creativity and my work first, I often neglected to eat, exercise, even stand up from my desk. I now realize that how I feel physically (and mentally) is more important than the work I create. Taking care of myself includes all natural remedies(疗法). I'm learning how to say no to social pressures, in favor of my own well-being.

    2）Don't worry about what other people think of you.

    This is easier said than done, but I promise it does come with age.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}A lot of people do offer unsolicited(自发的) advice. It is human nature to want to help other people. But if that advice is coming from a place of control or judgment, RUN in the opposite direction.

    3）Don't compare.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Most people are not as happy as they describe themselves to be. The best advice I ever heard was this：Don't compare your inside to other people's outside. Be open to new experiences, be kind to yourself and accepting of the journey which is life. Being present means not thinking into the future, or harping(唠叨) on the past. The coolest thing about being present is that CREATIVITY LIVES IN THE MOMENT{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    4）Your intentions matter.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}What was your intention? I remind myself to enjoy the process of my creative fun stuff, it's for me. If others like it, great, but it's the enjoyment of my creative intention, in the moment, that I treasure.

A. Stop judging

B. Each moment is UNIQUE

C. We have to work in order to live

D. Take care of yourself--Mind AND Body

E. Stress is often caused by comparison to others

F. It's important to remember why you started doing something

G. No one cares about what you're doing unless what you're doing affects them
