I also try to challenge myself to do things that doctors say are not possible

As a magician ,I try to show things to people that seem impossible

And I think magic ,whether I am holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards, is pretty simple

It's practice, it's training.

And it' s practice, it' s training and experimenting ,while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be

And that's what magic is to me, so ,thank you. (Applause)

Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Why, your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine.”

The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right, and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.

The young man laughed. “Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars.”

“Yes,”said the old man,“Yours looks perfect but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the empty place in my heart.”

But because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

“Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his or her heart to me. These are the empty gouges -- giving love is taking a chance.

Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is? ”

The young man walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man.

The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.

The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.

They embraced and walked away side by side.

Yellow, brown and red,

Let us make a bonfire ,

Now that they are dead.

Chestnut leaves and beach leaves,

Ash and lime and oak,

Fir-cones and pine needles ,

Kindle into smoke.

Leaves that all the summer,

Gave us cool and shade,

What will be left of them,

When our bonfire's made?

Only death—like ashes,

But from this same dust,

Sun one day will fashion ,

Life anew, we trust.

People have different preferences for gardening. Some may enjoy having their own flower gardens and cutting flowers for their homes. Some may prefer to grow fruit and vegetables for food. Many like keeping plants in their homes, which is light work. With flowers or plants in a room, the house can be more beautiful.

There are different things to be done in a garden in different seasons. There is time to sow, to cut off branches and to do many other jobs. Besides, you must also have some knowledge about the soil in your garden, and about fertilizers and weed killers, if you want to get high yields.

。

Today, indoor gardening is more and more popular. Hundreds of plants are grown indoors. To keep the indoor plants healthy, you have to follow certain rules. In heated rooms, plants need plenty of moisture. They have to be carefully watered and leaves should be sprayed. Potted plants are better to be kept on window sills. The sun and daylight help to keep the leaves green. Fresh air is also needed if the weather is good.

1. Inadequate access to healthcare: Despite efforts to expand access to healthcare, many people in China still struggle to receive medical care. This is particularly true in rural areas where there are fewer medical facilities and trained healthcare professionals.

2. Uneven quality of care: Quality of care can vary significantly from one hospital or clinic to another in China, and patients may receive different treatments depending on where they seek care. There are also concerns about overuse of antibiotics and other medications, and the potential for medical errors.

3. High out-of-pocket costs: Many people in China must pay for medical care out of pocket, which can be a significant financial burden, especially for those with chronic conditions or serious illnesses. While the government has introduced policies to reduce these costs, there is still much work to be done in this area.

4. Limited availability of medical supplies: There have been reports of shortages of medical supplies and equipment in China, particularly during times of high demand such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.

5. Limited choice of healthcare providers: In many cases, patients in China have limited choice of healthcare providers and may be required to go to a specific hospital or clinic depending on where they live or work.

6. Lack of trust in the healthcare system: Some people in China have expressed skepticism about the quality of medical care, and there have been cases of medical malpractice and corruption that have eroded public trust in the healthcare system.

It's worth noting that the Chinese government has made significant efforts to improve healthcare in recent years, and there have been some notable successes in areas such as expanding insurance coverage and investing in medical research and development. However, there is still much work to be done to address the challenges facing the Chinese healthcare system.
