Although commercial movers have been around for thousands of years, existing even in the days of man's earliest societies, there have always been heads of families who thought they could do the job better or for one reason or another preferred not to entrust(交托) their personal belonging to any commercial operation.
Today, millions of Americans move their family goods, using their own or a borrowed truck for the job. This operation can work very well if one has the strength, equipment, and knowledge to do the job-- pins enough insurance(保险) to cover any difficulty that may appear. The suggestions for a do-it -your- self move are relatively new:

﹡Line up necessary aid for the day of the move

My grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and seated me on his knee, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.
At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, here was a silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, the boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best the boy could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and throw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back to me in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the book, he had to do it again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot.
He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home.

VI．书面表达：
Happiness
Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have much money or large possessions, they will be happy. They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if have much money. Some students think that they should be in good health, and enjoy whatever they like. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can own everything. I don’t quite agree with the above points. I don’t think money means happiness. We can’t buy many of the things with money, such as health, happiness, and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge. Although different people value happiness differently, my “wealth” of happiness is my study.
