1）My high school, like many others, was extremely competitive not only in sports but also in academic subjects. The pressure of trying to get excellent grades while joining in extra-curricular activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was at home my time was spent doing homework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families. I have a brother and a sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other, but after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less. Then one day I came home, an empty house and I found a note from my mom. She was at my brothers baseball game. However my sister was at her friends, and would be dropped off. At five oclock I went to turn on the light on the front porch and saw my sister walking towards the door with her friend and her friends father. I heard them talking.“Is anyone at home?” the father asked.“ Just my mean elder sister, Sara, and shes probably in her room as usual,” my sister replied. I couldnt believe it. I opened the door, thanked the father for bringing her home then shut the door and started to cry. To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room. But I realized that what was worse than the fight was that I really hadn t been a good elder sister.I had lost track of what was important, and what really mattered. I had been fallen into a whirlpool（漩涡）of pressure and competition, and it took my sisters honest observation to show me that the grades I got didnt matter to everyone-certainly not to her. All that matters to her is that Im her elder sister, and thats what matters to me, too.1:What kind of life did the author live at high school?

He had tried to fly round the world but failed. That was in 1931. The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoyed it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first solo trans-Atlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world came back, but this time he would sail. His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. In August, 1966, at the age of nearly 65, an age at which many men retire, he began his greatest voyage of his life. Chichester covered 14,100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously sailed alone. On shore, he could not walk without help. Everybody said the same thing: he had done enough; he must not go any further. But he did not listen. After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off once more in spite of his friends attempt to dissuade him. The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during which he sailed round the risky Cape Horn. After succeeding in sailing round Cape Horn, Chichester sent the following radio message to London:“I feel as if I had waken up from a horrible dream. Even a wild horse could not drag me down to Cape Horn and that rough Southern Ocean again.”Just before 9 oclock on Sunday evening 28 May, 1967, he arrived back in England, where a quarter of a million people were waiting to welcome him. The whole voyage from England and back had covered 28,500 miles. It had taken him nine months, of which the sailing time was 226 days. He had done what he wanted to accomplish. 56.

Several operations and speech classes later, when she was seven, we found out that Jenny had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis（风湿性关节炎）. She could not put pressure on the heels of her feet, so she walked on tiptoe. All through grade school, and on into high school, Jenny suffered, yet never complained. She took her medicine, and I 。
