Most people make a donation(捐赠)if they want to help tho in need.But Eddie Izzard,a 47﹣year﹣old British man,did something completely different.He decided to rai money by running 1,100 miles.And he managed to rai more than £200,000!
It would take most people at least two years if they were crazy enough to try and mil such a distance.But Eddie Izzard?It took him just 51 days.In less than two months,he ran 43 marathons!
When asked how he felt,he said that he was planning to "sleep for a week".He thanked the people who had come to support him and joined him on his journey.
And how long did he have to train for all this?Well,amazingly,only five weeks ﹣ he wasn't even particularly fit when he decided to put himlf in for this journey.

Ever experts are impresd with what he has achieved.Andy Dixon,editor of Runners World,says,"Covering 26 miles in a day at whatever speed for 43 runs,it's demanding.A 5﹣hour marathon is a fairly decent pace.It's a great achievement." So how did he do it?Well,he ran slowly at first.Ten hours a day to begin with and,as he got fitter,he got faster.In the end he was finishing in just over five hours.But fitness alone was not enough.What was more important was the fact that
Eddie Izzard wanted to make a difference to other peopled lives.What Eddie Izzard did was so special that the documentary of his run has been made into an inspiring film:Believe! "You've got to believe you can be something el.That's why I keep going." Eddie says in the film.

Magical box
In the 1994 film Forrest Gump,there's a famous saying, "Life is like a box of chocolates;you never know what you're gonna get." The surpri is part of the fun.Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surpri to online shopping.
A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(统一的包装)and cannot be en from the outside.You don't know what will be inside,although the toys typically come from pop culture,ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.
Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014.According to a 2019 Tmall(天猫)report,the mini﹣ries of Labubu blind box,designed by Hong Kong﹣born Kasing Lung,was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 conds during the Singles Day shopping event.Most customers for the magical mystery(神秘)boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.
According to the report,blind box toys are popular partly becau of their cute appearances.The typ
ically cute cartoon figurines(小塑像)conic in very small sizes,making them suitable for display almost anywhere.There is another main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another. "Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box﹣opening process," said Miss Cao,24,who loves buying blind boxes.Speaking to Sina News,she said, "Until you open all the boxes,you cannot know what it is inside."
Opening a blind box is a delightful little surpri for our boring daily lives,something small but fun to wait for each day,week or month.When people open this simple little box,they may be disappointed,but the uncertainly is part of the fun.People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.
When someone remakes the film Forrest Gump,don't be surprid if he says,"Life is like a blind box ..."

Certainly,a well﹣rounded(全面的)education is the foundation(基础)from which all of us spring forth.I am grateful to the many great teachers who have inspired me to do greater things,and have fired my enthusiasm(热情)for everlasting learning!
But,sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking(缺少)something.I watched the movie Easy A with my daughter.The main character's parents were loving,supportive,and built great confidence in their children and developed their ability to handle their own problems.
There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child who announced that he received an "A" on his spelling test.She replied,"That's great,honey,but everything has spell check the days." It was funny…but TRUE!I don't mean that we shouldn't teach our children how to spell,but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook.Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works—the credit card(信用卡)isn't free money—you will have to pay it back at sometime.Oh,and get this—t
hey charge you for borrowing that money.Perhaps,we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships.I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.
Choosing a career(职业)is a daunting task.My daughter is in her cond year in college and has changed her major(主修课程)twice.It's not that she didn't know what she wanted to do.What she "wanted to do" and the cour she cho did not match.
I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do becau they haven't en what it looks like in the real world.Being a journalist(记者)in the real world looks very different from writing stories.Maybe if we spent some
