21、   Do you believe that you aren't smarter than 3— year— old Alexis Martin, one of the youngest members of the high IQ club Mensa?

She learned to read at the age of 2. She reads at a fifth grade level and has taught herself Spanish (西班牙语) on her parents' iPad!

Most 12— month— old children just take their first steps on their own and most 18— month— olds can only name a small number of objects and body parts, and follow simple two— step questions.

Even though Alexis is a genius (天才)，her parents are faced with lots of challenges like how to teach her to make friends of her own age.

22、Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process.

Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with kinds of situations.

Love plays an important role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us unconditional love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted（认为理所应当）. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings.

Happiness achieved by bringing a smile on other’s face gives a certain level of fulfillment（成就）. Peace of mind makes you feel happy. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are sad. Sadness comes from the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.

Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect.

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, and it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

Suddenly, there came a car. It was going very fast. When the driver saw the boy in his way, he braked (刹车) hard. But it was too late ... The small boy was lying on the street without moving. To everyone’s surprise, the car didn’t stop. It drove away quickly.

People ran to the boy. There was a cut on the boy’s head and he lost a lot of blood (血). The coffee shop owner (主人) telephoned the police. Soon an ambulance (救护车) arrived and took the boy to the hospital.

At 6:30 pm, the police arrived and started questioning people. About half an hour later, they asked me to go to the police station because I saw everything. I gave them all the information I knew because I really wanted them to catch the driver. I didn’t leave the police station until 8:00 pm.
