My mom warned me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house. Being a typical boy, however, I soon found myself hiking further and further away, testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost. After losing my way once for two hours, though, I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk. The very next day I decided to try it. I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight. Then I broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place. I wandered further in and broke another limb and then another. In a few spots where there were no limbs small enough, I snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees. After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back. Turning around I easily found my tracks, but instead of being proud I felt sad. I could see the trail of destruction I had left in the woods going on and on. Looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers I wondered if God was disappointed in me and I vowed never to do that again. Instead, I started to cherish my times alone in the woods with nature. I d sit by the streams and listen to them sing. I d watch the birds and squirrels. I d bend down to smell the flowers. And I even buried an acorn or two hoping that one day an Oak might grow. There is an old Native American Saying that goes “ We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.” As I have grown older and wiser, I have done my best to never leave a trail of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day. I have instead tried to leave tracks of love, kindness, goodness, and compassion and I have strived to show others that they can do the same. May you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love. 1. When the boy headed back from the woods, he felt sad because _.

He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls(颚骨 ), “ turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes. The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature(过早的 )signs of ageing. “ If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown(皱眉 )while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably end up with frown lines,” Dr. - 3 - Prager said. “ What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck. “Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “ Whenpeople are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a grumpy (脾气暴躁的)face without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk , they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”He said, “ The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.”Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “ computer face ” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox. He said that, after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “ grumpy face” could be broken.4. In what way do women develop a “ co。
