.The other frogs kept telling them to stop and wait for their death.Finally,one of the two frogs gave up and fell down.Soon he died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.Once again,the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to stop and just wait to die.(2)
.When he got out,the other frogs said,"Didn't you hear us?"The frog explained to them that he was deaf.(3)
.The story teaches us two lessons.(4)
.An encouraging word to someone who is down can cheer him up and help him make it through difficulties.Secondly,a destructive(消極的) word to someone who is down can make him give up and die.So be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path.It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way.It is great for a person to take the time to encourage another.

61.When we compare ourselves with great people,we feel very ordinary and unimportant.However,we must remember that those great people were extraordinary.The world has more than 6 billion people,so it is difficult for all of us to be extraordinary.What can we do?We can try to be the best people that we can possibly be. I think this means that we need to be honest and hard-working.We also need to be open-minded and kind to other people.Most importantly,we need to be ambitious (有雄心的).We need to always set goals for ourselves and work hard to achieve these goals. Madam Curie and Thomas Edison were hard-working,kind and ambitious,and they worked hard to achieve their goals.Curie gave her life to"ease (減輕) human sufferings".Edison spent his life as an inventor.He invented a camera that showed movement.Later people used cameras to make modern films. A famous writer from Ireland once wrote,"We are all in the gutter (社會底層) but some of us are looking at the stars."I often come up with this when I am unable to achieve something.It reminds me that we are all at a lower level and that we all have a higher goal to work towards.It makes me try to be the best person that I can possibly be.
