26、Natural disasters may claim thousands of lives or destroy millions of homes. What can we learn from disasters?
Sometimes, there are no real answers. Everyone has lost something and someone, and they keep on asking what they have done to deserve this cruel fate. It’s okay to hold on to these questions, but no matter how hard and painful it is, you should keep moving, breathing and living. 【1】
Even strangers can teach you kindness. There may be millions of selfish people in the world. 【2】 There is still kindness out there, waiting to be discovered. You will find it everywhere, at the most unexpected places—even among the wastelands left by the disaster.
Family is everything. Sometimes we forget to love our family, just because we’re too busy with our own lives. 【3】 We will not realize their value until we arrive at an empty house, an abandoned and forgotten place that you once called “home”.
【4】 Sure, reality can be harsh and unforgiving but it doesn’t mean that we should blame ourselves and feel like a victim forever. We have to strive and thrive; we have to fight and do whatever it takes to resist and rise up. Not everyone will have a happy ending or an interesting plot, but we can always decide how to write the ending.
Every day of your life should be spent loving and living. Don’t be angry at the world for letting you live an unbearable life of heartbreaks and frustrations. 【5】 So just love deep and love hard. Live as if it’s your only chance to find the happiness that you deserve.
A.You’ll find your way someday.
B.Your money won’t matter in the end.
C.Life is too short to live in its imperfections.
D.However, it’s not a reason to lose hope in humanity.
E.You shouldn’t be a victim forever——be a survivor.
F.You have to help yourself first before you can help others.
G.At times, we take them for granted because we think they’ll always be there.

29、This is a true story. Tristin Saghin enjoyed the movie Black Hawk Down very much, which is about the conflict in Somalia. The battle scenes and the exciting rescues of people who are dying, interested him greatly.
There was just one problem: Tristin was only 9 years old, and it was thought that movie was not for children. When his parents caught him watching it on TV, they made him turn it off, though he had finished his homework and it was not late. Then one day, Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother in Mesa, Arizona. Tristin’s 20-year-old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool. Realizing the little girl was missing, the family ran outside, only to find the girl had fallen into the water.
Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground, the child wasn’t breathing. The family called the ambulance (救护车), but no one knew how to do first aid. No one, that is, except for Tristin. A scene in Black Hawk Down describes a doctor giving first aid. Tristin remembered it. Then the 9-year-old gave first aid to his sister at once and saved her life.
