In 1945,there was a young boy of 14 in a concentration camp （集中营）. He was tall, thin but had a bright smile. Every day, a young girl came by the other side of the fence. She noticed the boy and asked him if he spoke Polish, and he said yes. She then reached in her pocket and gave him her apple. He thanked her and she went on her way. The next day, she came by again, bringing with her another apple which she gave him. Each day, she walked by the outside of the fence, hoping to see him, and when she did, she happily handed him an apple in exchange for conversation.

 On day he told her not to come by any more. He was being shipped to another concentration camp. As he walked away with tears running down his face, he wondered if he'd ever see her again. She was the only kind person he had seen across the fence.

He made it out of the concentration camp, and immigrated （移民）to America. In 1957, his friends had fixed him up on a blind date （约会）. He had no idea who the woman was and picked her up, and during the dinner they began talking of Poland at that time. She said she used to see a boy and gave him an apple daily. He asked if this boy was tall, skinny and if he had told her that she couldn't come back because he was leaving. She said yes.

   It was her, the young girl who came by every day to give him apples. After 12years, after the war and in another country, they met again. What are the odds (概率). He proposedto her on that very night and told her he'd never again let her go. They are still happily married today.

   Miracles do happen, and there is a great force at work in our lives.

It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see beautiful sceneries typical （特有的）of the region. Besides, you can meet and make friends with people of different colours and races. Finally, you can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the faster growing industries in most countries.

The main reason why people travel is, for pleasure, having worked hard throughout the weekends, people will find a trip to the nearby mountains or beaches for a real relaxation. For another example, spending a holiday traveling abroad every year is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic, ready to work harder.

Traveling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing. Furthermore, if you are a careful observer, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology, and history of the places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through travelling. The knowledge got from travel, as you will have found in your life, is of the same value as that from any useful reference book.

Maybe you are an ordinary student.   36   This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:

Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc, then decide a good, regular time for studying. 37   A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.

Make good use of your time in class.   38   Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material.   39   If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.
