Mr. Coyote (丛林狼) had been walking for hours when he saw a large tree. He was very tired and wanted to rest safely. He kindly said to Mr. Tree, \"Please open up so that I can rest safely in your care.\" Mr. Tree opened up and Mr. Coyote went inside to rest, and then Mr. Tree closed to keep him safe.

Mr. Coyote slept for hours. When he awoke he could not remember what he had said to make Mr. Tree open up. He said, \"Let me out\but nothing happened. Mr. Tree was unhappy with Mr. Coyote for not having said please!

Mr. Coyote had to take himself apart and put each part through the small holes of the tree, but his eyes were too big. He took his eyes off and tried putting them through a hole.

Mr. Coyote finally came out and put himself together but he couldn’t find his eyes. He couldn’t let other animals know he was blind. He then put two rose petals (花瓣) in for his eyes. This would cover the blindness for a little while.

Mr. Snail saw Mr. Coyote with the rose petals in his eyes. He wanted to try this, so he took off his eyes and put them into Mr. Coyote’s hands and tried putting the rose petals in his eyes. Then Mr. Coyote put Mr. Snail’s eyes into his head and ran off quickly.

These days we live a fast life. You’ve heard it before that everything has to be fast. Fast food, fast Internet, fast roads, fast money, fast, fast, fast. I’m all about having a sense of urgency (紧急) and getting things done quickly, but there are some moments that you have to slow down and enjoy life.

We are always busy every day. I work 8.5 to 9 hours a day at my full-time job. When I get home I make an effort to write something on my blog. I try to find a bit of time for myself. I seldom write and work on the weekend. Those are my days to try to recharge and reduce the stress from my work. I sleep on the sofa a bit during the day, drink a few beers in the open air or go out for a picnic if the weather permits.

What I’m trying to say is this: If you don’t take some time to slow down once in a while and enjoy life, it will pass you by. You can be unhealthy both mentally (精神上地) and physically if you don’t take the time to

Kobe Bryant was born in Philadelphia, the youngest child and only son of Joe and Pam Bryant.

When Bryant was six, his father left the NBA, moved his family to Italy, and started playing professional basketball there. At an early age, Bryant learned to play soccer. His favorite team was AC Milan. He later said that if he had stayed in Italy, he would have tried to become a professional soccer player in FC Barcelona. In fact, he is now a big fan of FC Barcelona’s star player, Ronaldinho.

In 1991, the Bryants moved back to the United States. Bryant earned national recognition by doing very well at Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia. His SAT (学业能力倾向测验) score of 1080 could have ensured him a basketball scholarship at the most of the top colleges. Finally, however, the 17-year-old Bryant made the decision to go directly to the NBA.

At first, he wasn’t allowed to play much, but as the season continued he began to see more and more playing time. He was famous as a highflier and became a fan favorite by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest.

After years of improvement, Bryant had become one of the premier shooting guards in the league. On December 23, 2007, Kobe Bryant became the youngest player to reach 20,000 points. In the 2007-2008 season, he led his team to its best record of 57 wins and 25 losses. Then, in the first round of the playoffs, his team easily beat the Nuggets. It was also formally announced that Bryant had won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award, the first in his career.

In November 1999, 21-year-old Bryant met 17-year-old Vanessa Laine. They fell in love with each other and got married on April 18, 2001 in California. 8. We can learn from the passage that _______.
