My wife and I moved into our home two years ago. We had a yard with a lot of rocks．Very often when we had flowers, Denise or I would plant some between the rocks, just to add some  41 to the area．
Last summer, I found a tiny little plant in the yard that I could not tell what it was at first. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could 42 what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it turned out to be a sunflower. I decided to remove（移除） the weeds(杂草)around it. 43 I pulled rocks from the area to cut the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower didn’t grow up in a common way. 44 , it went around the rock to reach the sun.
That’s when I realized that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock get 45 its way of developing, we also have the ability of doing the same thing. It seems that we learn 46 from the tiny little sunflower. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we wish to go and get what we need for growth．
We need to believe in ourselves , 47 we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over(克服) the rocks 48 it had faith(信念) in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be  49 who and what we are, then the environment will begin to support us  50 . We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks ” in order to reach our goals．

“In this life, what did you miss?” The wife asked the husband when she was 25. The husband replied, “I missed a chance of a new job.” When the wife was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus. At 45, the husband said sadly, “I missed the chance to see my close relative before his last breath.” At 55, the husband said he missed a good chance to retire(退休). At 65, the husband complained(抱怨), “I missed a dental appointment(牙科预诊).” At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore, the husband was sitting in front of the very sick wife.
This time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied: “In this life, I did not miss having you!” The husband’s eyes were full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always so busy that he had never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly. “How could I allow myself to miss your deep love for me 50 years ago you married me ?” he asked himself.
In the busy city life, there are many people who are always busy with work and neglect the loved ones who care for them. But life won’t last forever, so always live in the moment.

Recently, Donald Trump has been chosen to be the Person of the Year by The Times. But who is the Person of the Year in your heart?
Zhang Yiyi, 13, Shanxi
In my eyes, the Person of the Year must be British actor Alan Rickman. I love him because of his beautiful voice in the movie Alice in Wonderland. The most successful character he has made is Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies, who loves Lily till the last second of his life. On Jan 14, 2016, he died aged 69. The author Harry Potter J.K. Rowling said he was a perfect actor and a wonderful man.
Ye Tong, 13, Zhejiang
The Person of the Year must be Antonio Manuel de Oliveira Guterres. He is the former premier of Portugal (葡萄牙总理). And now he is the new Secretary-General (秘书长) of the United Nations. He will be the ninth person who takes this job. In my opinion, the UN Secretary General always plays an important role in developing international relationships. I think that he is worth offering the job and will make something great to the world.
Zhai Xihua, 15, Liaoning
I think Guo Chuan, the famous Chinese sailor(船员), can be Person of the Year. Guo broke many world records with his sailing boat. He often sailed around the world alone. He had strong spirit. Whatever difficulties he met, he never gave up. He went missing at sea earlier this year. But he still lives on in my heart.
Xu Youyou, 12, Guangdong
The person I want to choose would be Teresa May, the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Since the UK left the European Union, many people thought that the UK would be in a mess. However, May made an effort to “save the UK”. She has done a good job. It is said that she has dealt with the chaos (混乱) of the English political parties (政党). She has also solved a lot of problems and showed her abilities to the world. She has been praised as the second Margaret Thatcher for her hard
