And gradually as I get older and I grow up,my hero has opened my eyes to the fact that life is not always beautiful and happy like a fairytale (童话),but life is much more than that. My hero has explained to me that life can be very hard. Everyone must struggle(奋斗) hard to make all their dreams come true and to be a successful person.

Everyone really likes to talk and chat with her,so she has many friends.

Instead,they are likely to drink only when they’re thirsty-but that may be too little,too late,especially for children who play sports or are just active.The kidney stones in adults have also been rising,especially in women,and experts say they see more adults in their 20s and 30s with stones;in the past,it was more common in adults in their 40s and 50s. “But it’s no longer a middle-aged disease,” Dr Nelson said. The average age of children with stones is about 10.Many experts say the rise in obesity (肥胖) also leads to kidney stones in children as well as adults.( )1.In the 1970s and 1980s the doctor would see a kid with a stone every few ________.。
