Where has the Time gone? is the hottest song that has moved thousands of Chinese. Chinese parents give their children endless love and ask nothing in return. However, sometimes, daughters and sons are too busy growing up and forget that their parents are getting older and older. What should we do? Let’s have a look at a letter of a father’s. Dear son，
One day if you see me old and I am not myself, have patience and try to understand me. If I get dirty when eating…, if I cannot dress…, have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.
If, when I speak to you, I say the same things one thousand and one times, do not stop me and listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you one thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep.
When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame（羞辱） me nor scold（责备） me. Remember when I had to chase you with a thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath.
When you see me meet something new, give me the necessary time and don’t laugh at me. I taught you how to do so many things… to eat well, to dress well… to face life.
If I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not. When my legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hand the same way I did when you gave your first steps.
When sometimes I lose the memory during our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember. And if I cannot do it, do not become nervous because the most important thing is not my conversation but to be with you and to have you listen
to me.
Yours, father

This is a glass of water, tasteless, right? However if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar,（醋）it will become bitter. The same is true with our life. The taste of life is created by our choices.
If kindness is added to a stranger, you will have a friend; but if hostility（敌意） is added, you will have an enemy. If love is added to a pile(堆) of red bricks（砖） you will have a home, but if hate is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp（集中营）.So my dear friends，never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing. If you don’t like the taste of your life, change it yourself.
Three years ago, I weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused much difficulty in my life, like always failing my P.E examinations, always being laughed at by girls, and being terrified to speak in public. It was my grandmother’s encouragement that changed my life. She said “My dear, if you can’t change your appearance, why not treat it as your own style.” So I began to accept the new way of thinking and developed the confidence to make a difference and finally I found a totally new world.
So my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to work out all your problems.

阅读下文并回答问题。 For more than one month, people in China have been worried about the fate of the 239 people, including 154 Chinese passengers, on board Air Malaysia Flight MH370. However, today no matter how sad we are and how many details that are not
clear, it is certain that flight MH370 crashed in the Indian Ocean and no one on board is alive. All the people in the world can do is to continue to look for the wreckage(残骸), talk with the Malaysian government for more information and accept the terrible fact.
People in China have been very disappointed with Malaysia Airlines these days. They do their best to show the Malaysian government that we will never give up knowing the truth. On the other hand, the number of Chinese people who choose to take a trip in Malaysia has been smaller and smaller. Many Chinese people including some famous movie stars say that they will never go to Malaysia any more.
At present, there’s a totally new expression coming out after this event. That is, “Don’t be so Malaysia.” People use it to describe someone who is unbelievable and likes telling lies to hide the truth. 66. Did the plane crash in the Indian Ocean?
