There is an old English saying, “Gain(得到) time, gain life.” Then what’s time? 62 but we feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”. 63 Because when money is spent, we can make it back.

We should always remember: 64 For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create(创造) a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything as well as possible. And never put off(推迟) what can be done today till tomorrow.
As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, 65 Remember: No pain, no gain. Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest(收获).
A. Time is less important than money.
B. and your future will be brighter.
C. The future is now.
D. But time is even more precious(珍贵的) than money.
E. But do you know what future really is.
F. And you can make your dream come true.
G. Time is something that we can’t see or touch.

My grandma is a gentle old lady. Like many women of her time, she has a talent for sewing(缝纫). She made all my childhood clothes on her own. As a young girl, rather than playing outside with my friends, I liked staying with my grandmother to help her sew. I was so interested in getting the thread(线) through the eyes of the needle(针).
Later, instead of making clothes, my grandmother would sew gloves or insoles(鞋垫) for me. She cannot be with me all the time, but the love passed by her needle and thread warms me.
It was my grandma who sparked my enthusiasm(热情) for sewing and taught me how to show love and care. Almost a year ago, I was trying to give a birthday present to my friend. Then, I thought, “Why don’t I sew her a gift? I decided to make her a pencil case. I cut out the pattern(图案) from my old skirt, drew a design and started sewing. It took me many days to finish it. The final result wasn’t as pretty as I had imagined, but it was the best pencil case that I could make.
Just yesterday, my friend called me and said that every time she sees the pencil case, she would think of me and the warm feeling.
Sewing is a fantastic art form that can convey(传达) your love and care.
