1、 There is a Chinese saying “千里送鹅毛,礼轻情意重”. The saying comes from a historic book called Lu Shi (《路史》). According to the story, a Tang Dynasty official in Yunnan wanted to show his respect (尊敬) to the emperor (皇帝). He sent a man named Mian Bogao to bring some gifts to the emperor. 1. One of the gifts was a beautiful swan, which was a very valuable gift at the time.
Mian took good care of the swan on his way to the emperor. One day, he passed by a lake and wanted to let the swan drink some water. 2. But as soon as he set the swan free, the swan flew away, leaving only some feathers on the ground. Mian was very worried, but he didn’t try to run away. 3. 他决定告诉皇帝发生了什么。He picked up a feather and kept going on his trip.
When Mian met the emperor, he told him what happened and said, 4. “This swan feather is light, but it carries my deep respect for you.” The emperor was happy with Mian’s honesty and sincerity (真诚). He forgave (原谅) Mian. 5. 人们现在用这个说法来表明好的礼物不一定要很贵。What matters is the sincerity it carries.

24、It’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hardships (苦难) in life with a positive attitude (态度) and learn from them. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome (克服) every obstacle one small step at a time.
As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched (丰富) my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat (汗水) never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps (碰撞) on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
