A long time ago, there was an emperor. One day he told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and 16 as much land area as he liked, he would give him the area of land he had covered. 17 enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and 18 as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He 19 riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. Even when he was 20 and tired, he did not stop 21 he wanted to cover as much area as possible. When he at last covered a large amount of land, he was exhausted and was 22 . Then he asked himself, “Why did I 23 myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only 24 a very small area to 25 myself.”
The above story is 26 to the journey of our 27 . We push ourselves very hard every day to make more 28 , to gain power or recognition. We neglect our 29 , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding 30 and the things we love to do. One day 31 we look back, we will 32 that we don’t really need that much, 33 then we cannot turn back time for what we have 34 .
Life is not about making money. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only 35 to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.

Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked to sit beside a window when he was flying. So, when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already been taken except one.
