In the cold winter, a male eagle was flying above the snowfield for only one aim—the food. This strong eagle hunted for the food with his eyes, but what jumped into his view was just the endless snow.
The air temperature suddenly dropped, so the male eagle helplessly and hopelessly landed on the cliff. He had already flown for one whole day, yet hunting nothing...
Time changed back to the day before. After watching her husband fly away from the nest, the female eagle softly held her two baby eagles who were nearly frozen to death. She protected their young bodies under her big wings. She expected her husband to bring back the food. There was a dead rabbit nearby, which supported the family for ten days. They had eaten it up.
At the end of that short day, which seemed like a long life, the female eagle still couldn't see her husband come back, feeling that one baby eagle became ice-cold.
The female eagle thought that she should do something. So she pulled apart her own chest with the sharp beak. She told her last baby “Eat me...” with the last strength.
Outside, the male eagle stood for a long time to look for the food. Suddenly, a leaden object jumped into his eyes. The male eagle nosed down to see it clearly. That was a gray rabbit. The male eagle jumped on the rabbit.
At that moment, the rabbit didn't hide or escape, but crept tightly upon the snowfield. The male eagle caught the rabbit and killed it. When getting ready to fly away, he was shocked. Under the body of the old gray rabbit, there were four frozen baby rabbits lying there.
Love is broad and profound, yet it's also cruel.

There are a number of animals that glow in some way-including several kinds of insects and fish. Fireflies are a well-known example of glowing. But plants don't glow. Now, scientists are working to change that.
In the past, scientists have created glowing plants by adding DNA from glowing bacteria. But the glowing effect was weak, perhaps because of the huge differences between simple bacteria and plants. The plants are much more complicated. Scientists have also created glowing plants by adding luciferin to the plants. But the glow didn't last long and only worked as long as the luciferin lasted.
Now, researchers at a Russian company called Planta, working with scientists from the United Kingdom and Austria have come up with a new method of creating glowing plants which last longer. By adding certain parts of the DNA from glowing mushrooms to ordinary plants, the scientists are able to create plants that can glow as long as they are alive.
The glow came from all parts of the plants—leaves, stems, roots, and flowers. The scientists reported that the greenish light was about 10 times brighter than in earlier glowing plants. The glow was strong enough to be easily recorded with an ordinary camera, but it didn't affect the health of the plants.
The researchers believe that glowing plants could help scientists learn more about the way plants work. They point out that the glow seems to change, depending upon what is happening inside the plants.
But the researchers don't think the plants will just be used for science. They think many people may want glowing plants for their beauty. The scientists have already shown that several common flowers，such as periwinkles，petunias, and roses can be made to glow.
Planta is working with a company called Light Bio to develop glowing plants for sale.

As a young child, our dreams are limitless. We want to be a firefighter, an actor, a doctor, and a pop singer—all at the same time! Confucius said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
Discover your talents.
Do you enjoy trying different kinds of sports, or climbing all over jungle gyms? 36 Do you especially enjoy learning about and using logic and fact? Take note! Math and science skills are amazing skills to carry into a career. Draw, write, paint, and create. If you'd rather daydream, do crafts, tell stories, or make music than learn facts and figures, that’s OK!
37
An unexpected opportunity could lead you straight to your dream job. The worst thing you can do is to let fear or intimidation stop you from taking the first step. There will always be people judging your choices. 38
Practice, practice, practice.
You should do this whether it is something you love but aren't great at, or something you are naturally good at. 39 Remember that only hard work and patience will get you where you want to be.
Find a position you love.
Write down all of your strengths and passions. 40 Think about the lifestyle you want when you grow up. Do you want a job that requires you to travel seven days a week, or do you want to work freely at home? Everyone is different, and you have to decide what is most important to you.

One possible version:
A good choice
Life is full of choices, and there was an important and meaningful choice in my life.
When I was about 6, my mother sent me to learn ballet. I was so happy about the choice at first, because I like the beautiful dresses. But then I was so tired of training that I just wanted to play. My mother always pushed me so hard and I even wanted to stop learning. However, I knew I really loved dancing and I wouldn't give up easily. After thinking again and again, I chose to keep learning ballet.
I never regretted the choice. I am proud of myself because I have a special skill and the spirit of persistence. A good choice makes me a better person.
