You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will jump back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have the balance in your life. How?Dont look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.Dont let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.Dont give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Dont be afraid of difficulties. We learn how to be brave by taking chances.Dont shut love out of your life by saying its impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地), the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Dont run through life so fast that you forget not only where youve been, but also where you are going.Dont be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.Dont use time or words carelessly. You cant get them back.

But thats what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply(供应). Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times: “In a good week well have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell waterat very high prices. A lot of people cant afford it, she said.The average (平均) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic（立方）meters of water per year.

But when the movie first appeared (出现) many years ago, there was no sound or music. Those silent (无声的) movies play an important role in movie history.When movie theatres showed silent movies, musicians were often there to play music along with the movie.

Here is an interesting experiment that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, youll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, youll find the letter R disappearing.Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye.
