AThe Secret of a Long LifeI am Peter Brown. I am a writer with an important magazine. The other day I sawa white-haired man sitting on the chair in front of his house. I could see the wrinkles (皱纹) in his face and neck, and his wrinkled hands. Articles on the secrets of living to an old age are always popular with our readers, so I decided to write a story and discover the secret of this man’s long life. As I went near him, I said:“Sir, would it be okay if I talked with you for just a moment?”“Not at all. Actually, it would make me very happy. I get very bored sitting here, even for a short time. Until a little while ago, I lived a full and active life without a moment’s rest.”“Well, they say that a lot of activities help one to live a long time.”“That’s true, very true. I still feel very well, although my step has slowed down a little.”The conversation continued in that way for a while. Although I tried to be very thoughtful about getting information from older people, it seemed to me that it would now be all right to begin to ask some polite questions.“Would it be okay if I smoked?”“Not at all.”“I’d offer you one, but I suppose you probably don’t smoke, or drink, or…”“You’re wrong! I’ve always smoked a great deal. And until a little while ago,I went dancing every night. And as for alcoholic drinks ...”“Do you mean to say that you’ve done these things all your life?”“Of course. Why does that surprise you so much?”“I’ve always been told that doing those things is bad for the health.”“Nonsense!”“I suppose that you have another secret ... a lot of fruit... vegetables ...a lot of exercise in the fresh air…”“Don’t be silly! I hate exercise in the fresh air, and I don’t like a ny kind of vegetable.”“This is unbelievable!”“What do you mean, unbelievable? What are you talking about?”“It’s just that I can’t understand how you’ve been able to live like that and to have lasted so long. Tell me, how old are you?”“Me? I’m twenty-ei ght. Why?”26.

Things, such as coats, blankets and Maplethorpe’s chairs, often comfort a student.Maplethorpe was excited to create the chair after seeing something similar on a website, and she made some changes to the idea.“I w anted to continue to help students with sensory problems at Ellis and provide a different kind of seat for the students,” she continued. “I was excited that this chair could help my students.’’The two chairs are now in the school’s sensory room, which was created recently, according to headmaster, Beth Kiewicz.“When a child’s sensory needs are met, we then can move on to their needs in study,” Kiewicz, who has led the school for six years, told ABC News.Maplethorpe said the chairs have already made a difference for some of her students.“Students have become more patient, and have followed directions, while waiting for activities,” she said.30.

Well, you can do that with model railroading. Yes, it’s true. You can learn about many school topics without using a school book. Besides that, there are many other benefits that model railroading brings us as well. In this article, we will discuss just a few of those benefits of model railroading.Patience and problem solving skillsWhen you build a model railroad, you have to plan your railroad out. You have to decide where the tracks (轨道) will go, where to put buildings, where to put streets and any other things you would like to add to your model railroad. Also, you haveto think about any problems you may have with the design you choose. How will you make railroad crossings? How will you design hills, mountains, and rivers? Deciding on what to do with your model railroad takes a lot of thought and patience, but it is not as difficult as you may think.Building skillsWith model railroading, you learn how to put together plastic models of buildings. Also, you can learn how to build a table for your design, or make scenery for the geography of your design. Your model railroad runs on electricity, so you learn about electronics as well. These are skills that not only help you build a model railroad; these skills will help you all throughout life.Fun for family and friendsDifferent from many video games, model railroading is a social hobby that lets you communicate with family and friends. This is because you have to communicate with family and friends as you build and run your model railroad. By spending lime with the people in your life you love and care about, you learn to become closer and care more for each other. This is one of the best parts of model railroading as a hobby. Of course, the best part about model railroading is running the trains. Watching the trains run around the track and make all the sounds and do all the things that real trains do gives people hours of enjoyment. Also, there is great satisfaction in the fact that you, your family, and your friends built the model railroad.I hope you can learn to enjoy model railroading and experience all the benefits you just read about and many others.
