"Love at?first byte" is rare although there are examples. (1)The initial light exchanges, whether by e-mail or in chat rooms, are generally followed by increasingly self-revealing topics, and then after a while, the two strangers perceive each other as a true friend.?Hearts open and an avalanche of e-mail crosses cyber space carrying literary quality, and electronic messages are even enhanced with verses and virtual gifts (flowers, kisses, animated pictures). Could any heart with romantic inclinations resist?

Life is like a 300m hurdle race. SinceI run the 300m hurdles, I would know what the race is like.② The first thing to any race is worrying about whether you are going to win or not. This relates to worrying about the petty things in life. Does it really matter if you win Is it really going to be the end of the world Or will you be upset if you lose and then forget about it (1)In life we worry too much and live in themoment too little. （承上总结句）③ (2)Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes. We each start at different spots, but the race is still the same distance for everyone.（承上启下句） (3)This relates to our lives taking us to different places and putting us in different situations, but hopefully we will end up in the same place, but maybe at different times.④ Now comes the beginning of the race. We all try to keep up with everyone and pace ourselves with other people. (4)This symbolizes that at times in everyone's lives we worry, about fitting in or being the same as other people, instead of worrying about being unique. If everyone were the same, the world would be incredibly boring.本部分重点及难点：1. In life we worry too much and live in the moment too little. 生活中，我们担心得太多，而活在当下太少。
