Last weekend, my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car．My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 31 other people’s cars as well．It was pretty　 32　 outside and I had no plans to　 33　 being in the bright sun．She　 34　 wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passers-by for free．I had seen little kids 35　 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free．Although I felt 36 , I decided to help her．

　　 37　 she asked me, “What if we 38　 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and　 39　 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with　 40　 ideas．While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a（n） 41　 with beautiful images of smiles．They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the　 42　 of their exercise was “smile”．It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 43　 to do something for others．

　　　 All that seemed 44　 and came right from their heart．Nothing seemed to　 45　 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to　 46 others and do something nice in the community!

　　　 I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional　 47 to help clean cars．Passers-by were　 48　 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused．A pretty heartwarming　 49　 !

　　　 I feel blessed by being 50　 by such wonderful and loving souls．

What are you waiting for? Live life to the fullest. We are not promised tomorrow, so enjoy today.

We believe that life will be    1   after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are discouraged that the kids aren’t    2   enough and we’ll be more pleased when they are. After that, we’re discouraged that we have teenagers to   3   . We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our   4   will be complete when we get a nicer car, when we have our    5   house, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire, when we win the lottery(彩票).

The    6   is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now,   7   ?Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be    8  

right now.

So,   9   every moment that you have. Recognize that each    10   you take is a gift and be    11   . Remember that time waits for no one. So stop    12   until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you    13   the weight, until you have kids, until your kids    14   the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get    15   , until you get divorced(离婚), until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is    16   , until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you’ve had a drink, until you

    17   , until you are born again—to decide, that there is    18   better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a(n)    19   , not a purpose. So, work like you don’t need    20   , love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.

People wear hats for three main reasons: protection, communication, and decoration.

    Protection. People first began to wear hats to    1    themselves from the climate. In hot, sunny climates, wide-edged hats provide    2    from the sun. In cold climates, people often wear wool hats. In some regions, people wear a variety of protective hats,    3    the season. They may wear a wool hat in winter, a rain hat in spring or fall, and a wide-edged hat in summer. Hats also provide protection in certain    4   . Construction workers, football players, military personnel, and people in many other fields wear metal or plastic helmets (头盔) for protection from    5    .

Communication. Hats can communicate various things about the people who wear them. The hats of coal miners, cowboys and firemen indicate the wearer's    6   . Students may wear a mortarboard (学位帽) to show they are graduating from high school or college.

Decoration. Most people wear a hat that they believe makes them look attractive,    7    the hat's main purpose may be protection or communication. Many protective hats are attractive and stylish.
