• 1．Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese，Italy on March 6，1475．He was still young when his family moved to Florence where Michelangelo grew up．His mother died when he was only six years old．Growing up in Florence during the Italian Renaissance was the perfect stage of young Michelangelo's life．Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist．
     At the age of thirteen，he went to learn from Domenico Ghirlandaio，who was not only a painter but also an artist．Michelangelo's talents became apparent as he worked for Domenico．Within a year or so Domenico sent him to the powerful Medici family to continue his training under the sculptor （雕刻家） Bertoldo di Geovanni．Michelangelo was able to work with some of the finest artists and philosophers of the time．During the next few years，Michelangelo produced many famous sculptures including Madonna of the Steps，Battle of the Centaurs and Bacchus．
     In 1496 Michelangelo moved to Rome．A year later he was asked to make a sculpture called The Pieta．It would become one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art．Today this sculpture sits in St．Peter's Basilica in the Vatican．It is the only piece of art that Michelangelo signed．
     Michelangelo's fame （名聲） as a great artist began to grow．He returned to Florence and was asked to create a large statue of David．It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue．The piece of marble （大理石） he began with was very tall and thin．Many people didn't think he could do much with it．He worked without letting anyone see it until it was finished．David became Michelangelo's most famous work of art．It is thirteen feet tall and is the largest statue made since Ancient Rome．It is considered by many experts in art to be a nearly perfect sculpture．Today the statue sits at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence，Italy．

• 2．I am a good mother to three children．I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent．I no longer consider myself the center of the universe．I show up．I listen．I try to laugh．I am a good friend to my husband．I have tried to make marriage vows（誓約） mean what they say．I am a good friend to my friends，and they to me．Without them，there would be nothing to say to you today．
     So here's what I wanted to tell you today：Get a life．A real life，not a desire of the next promotion（提升），the bigger paycheck，the larger house．
     Get a life in which you are not alone．Find people you love，and who love you．And remember that love is not leisure（空閑）；it is work．Pick up the phone．Send an email．Write a letter．And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted．
     It is so easy to waste our lives，our days，our hours，and our minutes．It is so easy to exist instead of to live． I learned to live many years ago．Something really bad happened to me，something that changed my life in ways that，if I had my choice，it would never have been changed at all．And what I learned from it is what，today，seems to be the hardest lesson of all：I learned to love the journey，not the destination．I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it，completely and totally．And I tried to do that，in part，by telling others what I had learned．
     By telling them this：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face．Learn to be happy．And think of life as a deadly illness，because if you do，you will live it with joy and passion（激情） as it ought to be lived．

• 3．Travelling can be a way to gain life experiences，especially during Spring Break-a week long school vacation in the United States．But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip？Don't worry．Here are some useful suggestions．
     ●Save：This probably is the most important preparation for travelling．Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there．
     ●Plan ahead：Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip．Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice．Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security（安全） and savings．
     ●Do your homework：No matter where you go，research the places you will visit．Decide what to see．Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants．
     ●Plan sensibly：Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels．Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything．
     ●Travel in groups：Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places．By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences．
     ●Work as you go：Need more money to support your trip？Look for work in the places you visit．
     ●Go off the beaten path：Tourist cities may be expensive．You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesserknown area．Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights．
     ●Pack necessary things：The most important things to take are not always clothes：Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant．
     ●Use the Internet：The Net can help to save money．Some useful websites include www．Travelocity．com，www．bargainslowestfare．com and www．Economictravel．com．
