—We       some shopping in the supermarket.

—No. I       my brother at home at that time.

    I' m ready to do my first jump 10 months after a skydiving (特技跳伞) accident. I can't wait! That accident almost killed (杀死) me and it made me stay in hospital for half a year. During the boring long days, I didn't feel good. "How could I live without my favourite sport?" I thought.

    It all started one evening after a nine-to-five day. I was sitting at home when an ad (广告)came on the television. "Try skydiving," it said. The next day, I went to the skydiving school in my town, At the end of the day's lessons, ] knew I found the right sport for me.

    I will never forget my first jump. Five of us walked to the runway and got into a plane. I was afraid, but the others were talking and smiling, and I started to feel a little relaxed. It was a beautiful, cloudless day and the sun was just going down. Soon it was time to jump. As I jumped from the plane, I shouted. But then everything became quiet (安静的). It was the most wonderful four minutes of my life.

    From the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending all my free time skydiving. It became my reason (理由) for living. Things were going really well. Then an accident happened on my 104th jump. I broke my both legs, right arm and nose. I stayed in hospital for six months, but I still couldn't forget skydiving.

    My mother couldn't understand why the only reason I wanted to get better was to go skydiving again. But for me, skydiving is life, and life is skydiving.

    Once there was a very rich man. He had a lot of money, but he wasn't happy at all. He didn't know the purpose (目标) of his life. (连词) the rich man asked a clever old man for help.

    The old man  (take) him to a window and asked him, " What can you see  (介词) the glass (玻璃)?"

    The man said, "I can see people coming and going along the street And there is a poor man  (ask) for food."

    Then the old man took him to a large mirror (镜子) and said, "Now look in (冠词) mirror and tell me what you see."

After  (look) at the mirror for some time, the man said, "I can only see myself."

    The old man looked at the rich man  (smile) and said, "Did you find that both the glass of the window and the mirror are made of the same thing? The only difference (差别)  (be) that there is a silver coating (银色涂层) on the mirror. So all you can See is  (you) in the mirror. It is the same with people. You will be able to see the others when you take away that silver coating. It covers (遮住) your  (eye). When you can see the others and feel compassion (同情) and 10ve for them, you'll find the purpose of your life and feel happy."
