Sometimes your expectations don't survive. But you have to make it through.
After a lengthy visa application procedure, I left my father with our dog, jumped on
a flight, and there I was in London. Since Europe is an aspiration in my country, I had imagined it as a place where things always worked perfectly. I was alone in dealing with all kinds of problems as they arose, that was alright and this is how I became my own "special person" during my Erasmus exchange.
The accommodation I could afford was far from the city. To make things worse, I was new to many things, and definitely an outsider. But it wasn't an exception to carelessness, I found out. My dorm was in a silent neighborhood. Little did I know that those calm streets would be visited by loud fire trucks...And because of me!
That morning, I closed the kitchen door after placing some bread in the toaster. I was still half asleep and looking for what to wear. For some reason, the automatic mechanism of the toaster to push the slices up didn't work. When I went back to the kitchen, it was full of thick white smoke. Coughing hard, I opened the windows, stepped outside the door for a breath, and then went in again to reach for the fire extinguisher. It was the first time I used one, and had to get out of the kitchen to be able to see how to unlock it. It was only then the fire alarm went off! I went in again and made sure I put off the fire.
Nothing was like how I planned. A few times I hung out in the school cafeteria, but couldn't make friends. I went to discover the city, alone. Independence wasn’t something to be ashamed of after all. I wish I had made friends with people, but it turned out that I had to learn I wasn't in need of others' company to enjoy life. I tried to make the best of my time thinking that being alone is a blessing too, just like being with friends is. My international experiences that followed definitely made me more social, but now I know that being alone is not a weakness, but a part of life to embrace. Just like our mistakes, carelessness or bad luck, I can say it was during my time in London that I learnt I was, despite everything, a strong and special person who can cope with anything that comes her way.
4.The underlined words "it wasn't an exception to carelessness" probably refers to _________________.

A woman planning “Harry Potter night” at a su pper club she runs at home has been forced to change their name after a warning from film studio Warner Bros (华纳兄弟) . The evenings in Kiburn, north London, were due to include food and other elements from the Harry Potter books. However, Warner Bros, maker of the Harry Potter films, wrote to the club’s organizer “Ms Marmite Lover” warning that the parties would infringe its rights.
The club will now hold two “Genetic Wizard nights” for Halloween. On her blog, Ms Marmite Lover explains that she researched and developed her menu with her Harry Potter-obsessed teenage daughter and a food writer.
Guests would have to enter the venue, called the Underground Restaurant, through “Diagon Alley” and by giving a password—while a “Sorting Hat” would decide the seating plan.
After Warner Bros learned about the ticketed (被加标签) event, it wrote to Ms Marmite Lover saying: “While we are delighted that you are such a fun of the Harry Potter series, unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry Potter Properties without our
permission would amount to an infringement of Wamer's rights.”
The letter added：“Warner does not, of course, object to you holding a generic wizard Halloween night at the Underground Restaurant.”
Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling h erself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial and creative”.
The Underground Restaurant usually charges diners about 20-30 each, except alcohol. Warner Bros says it has guidelines to help Harry Potter fans run non-profit and charitable events true to the spirit of the stories.
The vast majority of non-commercial events are able to go ahead with the studio's support, it says.

Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.
Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will he also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.
Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.
Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them.“The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.”The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004,so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.
In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market.

In recent years，many of us spend a lot of time on the Internet with its popularity．As a result，our handwriting is not so good as it was in the past．In order to protect our Chinese characters and write both nicely and neatly，we'd like to offer some suggestions：
We should spend less time online so that we can have more time to read books and newspaper．We'd better form the habit of practicing calligraphy and keeping diaries every day．Besides，it is better to write letters to our relatives and friends by hand rather than send e﹣mails．As the saying goes，"The style is the man．"Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial to us students．So please pay more attention to our handwriting in the future．
Let's take action now!。
