I used to travel by air a lot when I was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An airhostess would take care of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only once have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an airhostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learned that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb(炸弹）had been put on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly (被彻底搜查）. Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.

The first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I looked back and found a wrinkled(布满皱纹的）little old lady smiling at me.

“Hi，my name is Rose，” She said. “I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and said，“Of course!”

“Why are you in college?” I asked. I wondered what may have motivated her to take on this challenge at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one，” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would leave class together and talk nonstop.

Rose became famous. She easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to give us a speech.

Just before the speech,she dropped her notes. “I’m sorry I’m so nervous，” she said. “I’ll never get my speech back in order，so let me just tell you something I know. ’’

“We do not stop playing because we are old. We grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity for change and have no regrets(f奥悔).The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we have done,but rather for the things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets. ”

One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can be.

DIY，which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how to DIY.

English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK —“As Englishman’s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower，they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn(经济滑坡）at present, many people can not afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.

DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However，people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions. Many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK,including 41,000 who fell off ladders(梯子）•

Therefore，DIY can bring us fun and help us save money,but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off(咬掉）more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
