2007年12_四Part Ⅰ Writing (30 minutes)生命是运动的，生命是一个过程。每一天都可以是一个全新的开始，只要你懂得了生命的道理。从现在开始，认真对待生命中的每一天吧，美好的未来就在我们手里!　Just at the Beginning　“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite.”　I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.
