【題目】 One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas. She could not afford a present, so she sat down and cried.

Jim and Della had two possessions(財(cái)產(chǎn)) which they were both proud of. One was Jim’s gold watch that was from his father and his grandfather. The other was Della’s beautiful hair. It fell about her, and reached below her knee.

Della put on her old brown jacket and her old brown hat. Then she went out of the door and down the stairs to the street.

She stopped at a store. The sign in front of the store read “Hair Goods”. “Will you buy my hair?” asked Della. “Twenty dollars.” the woman said.

Then Della searched through the stores looking for a present for Jim.

She found it at last. It was a watch chain. The bill was twenty-one dollars. At seven o’clock, the coffee was made and dinner was ready. Jim was never late. Della heard his steps on the stairs.

The door opened and Jim walked in. He stopped inside the door. His eyes were fixed on Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read.

“Jim,” she cried, “don’t look at me that way. I sold my hair to buy you a Christmas present.”Jim drew a box from his pocket and put it on the table.

Della opened it. There lay the set of combs(梳子) that she had always wanted. Now they were hers, but her hair was gone.

She smiled and held out Jim’s present. “I hunted all over town to find it. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.”

Instead of obeying(服從), Jim sat down, put his hands behind his head and smiled. “Della,” he said, “I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs.”

We all want to live the life we dream of. However, at times, some negative (消極的) ideas may stop us. Hope the following suggestions can help to ignore those1 and go ahead.

Do What We Can Control

One thing we can control is doing what we can—eating healthily, exercising, reading and getting enough sleep. Doing the right things can help2 to achieve the most happiness. Also, it can make us move on in the3direction. However, we should also accept that there are many things we can't control.

Take Calculated (預(yù)料到的) Risks

Success doesn't come4risks. We all have to take risks in life, but try to make sure those risks are calculated. For example, you are working at a job that you hate, and you are dreaming of giving it up and 5 your own business. The thought is a start. But one day, you can't stand your job any more, so you leave it even though you haven't really had a plan. This is such a big risk that it will probably make you6want to take a risk again. So just start with a small risk.

Don't Be Afraid of Failure

Thomas Edison is one of the greatest inventors in history. However, he7many times. Did you know Edison created an electric pen? A ghost machine? Probably not. Well, that's because they were complete failures. But those failures put him one step8to success. Think of failures as milestones (里程碑) towards success.

【題目】 In our daily life, we can live a low-carbon(低碳) life by paying attention to how we dress, eat and live.

Wear“out”

I prefer simple clothing and buy new clothes only when I really need them. I don’t mind using the same clothes for over 10 years. My family members never throw their clothes away. Instead, we give them to others who are in need. If the clothes are really worn out, we cut them into pieces and use them to clean the floor.

Simple eating habits

My family eat more vegetables and less meat. I often tell my family members not to eat junk food. Our cooking style is mainly steaming or boiling as it is healthier and saves energy.

Live on less energy

I also pay attention to the use of electricity. My family members get into the habit of turning off the lights when leaving a room. When we take a shower, we’ll set the water temperature to around 40℃. All these things are good for saving energy.

We hope that everyone can really do something to protect the earth.

1What will the writer's family do with the clothes when they are worn out?
