Sometimes it was because I had achieved a goal I had set. Other times it was because I had overcome a struggle or test of life. However， every time I feel that way， I learn again that full isnt full. There always seems to be a little more room.When I was a little boy I felt that the love I had for my Mom and Dad， and the love they had for me， just filled me up. Surely in a house full of nine people a young boy loved and was loved as fully as a person could stand. Imagine my surprise as I then extended that love to grandparents， my uncle & aunt， cousins， etc. As I grew older， I met and married a beautiful woman that I thought completely filled me up with love. I could not imagine there would be any more room. Then a few short years later we added one daughter and then another daughter to our family. Again， I had room to love and be loved. See what I mean？ Every time I feel that life and love are as good as they can be， they are better.There is a lesson here for us. We ought to always have a heart that is open to expanding. To do more， love more， live more， learn more， overcome more， forgive more and the list could go on. Each of us knows 100 stories about men and women who proved the impossible to be possible. Every day we stand at the crossroads and must decide if we are going to be a better person today than we were yesterday. You are not full yet. Young or old， there is still room for more.21.

It is impossible to make a wise decision.BGreat gifts dont have to be expensive. There are some gifts that kids can either make for free or without spending a lot of money. lA Decorative FlowerpotI bought a bright-colored， glazed flowerpot and my brother and I wrote nice moments from the past in a spiral shape around the pot， along with some drawings. It looks great and wont wash off！ Our grandparents will see what our handwriting looked like for a long time. Brennan LaBrie lA Digital Photo AlbumA digital photo album makes a cool gift. All you have to do is to burn a CD of photos stored in your computer. You can create a theme for the pictures or put them in order by date. Personalize the gift by creating your own cover art to insert into the CD case. Cameron Young lA Person Poem To make this gift， all you need is a pencil， colored pencils， a large pad of construction paper and a thick marker. First， draw an outline of the person you are making the gift for. Then color the person in. Next， with a dark-colored marker， write words that describe the person and what he or she likes along the edge of the outline. Finally， trim (修饰) the sides of the drawing. Then stick it to colored paper to create a frame. Claire JulianlA One-of-a-Kind T-ShirtTry making a T-shirt with a photo of a family member， friend or pet on it. Youll need a digital camera， iron-on transfer paper， all iron， fabric paint and stencils. Start by taking a digital picture.

C. Meaningful but expensive. D. Creative but ugly.C It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight， it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car， and keep it there. This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car. It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days， standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days， the hand seems to belong to someone else someone who wants to go home and get some sleep. Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat， drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills. Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants (参赛者) in the Longview handathon certainly dont seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions， but there is little rivalry (敌对) between competitors. They help each other out and keep each others spirits up. People who drop out early return with food， drink and encouragement. 28. What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon？ A. Standing without any support. B. Having strong powers of attention. C. Not leaning on the car. D. Eating and drinking in five minutes 29. Why is handathon popular？ A. Anyone who is interested can join in it. B. Someone can win with special training. C. It doesnt need to make any preparation. D. People get along well with each other in it. 30. Which of the following about handathon is NOT right？ A. The person who takes part in it should stand still. B. Handathons are competitions， so competitors dont encourage each other. C. The person taking part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car， and keep it there. D. The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition. 31. The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is that competitors_. A. cover a long distanceB. keep one hand in place for longC. do the same thing as in a marathonD. wave hands as long as possibleDThe United Nations (UN) International Day of Peace is celebrated on September 21 each year to recognize the efforts of those who have worked hard to end conflict (冲突) and promote peace.On the International Day of Peace， also known as Peace Day， people around the world take part in various activities and organize events centered on the theme， “peace”.
