Grabbing a small object, such as an apple, may seem automatic and easy. But few people consider the complex biological mechanism underlying this simple act. Neurons in the brain instantly fire in patterns that send commands down the spinal cord. These commands are relayed to muscle tissue in the arm. The tissue contracts, raising the arm, extending an elbow, or flexing the wrist and fingers. For some people with spinal cord injuries, those commands are hindered by their damaged nervous systems. Their brains are no longer able to send messages throughout their bodies. For these people, these actions may require substantial effort or be completely impossible.

Answer: Mary and Colin are cousins. They are very similar in character, as well as life. They are both powerful, rich, they both died mothers and they were both brought up by servants. They were both the only child in the family. They behaved with the servants as if they were a prince and princess. There was not a drop of respect for the servants in them and they didn’t even say a word please either thank you. Their similarity contributed to the beginning of their friendship. They both kept secret the Mysterious Garden, the entrance to which was forbidden. The garden belonged to Colin's mother and after his death his father forbade the entrance to it. His father hated him because the boy looked like his mother and was a living reminder of her death. In the beginning the author states, that she is : "the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen", but she transforms and we are told that : ¨Mary had not had time to pay much attention to her changing face and in the end we can see that she is :"like a blush rose" . Her friendship with Colin and desire to help her cousin transforms her like a person and we notice the inside and outside transformation

Answer:
Mrs. Thompson, a middle-aged school teacher, was standing in front of the classroom during a lively discussion on grammar. Suddenly, she stumbled and accidentally dropped her lesson plan on the ground.
One of the students, a young girl named Laura, noticed this and spoke up. "Mrs. Thompson, are you okay?"
Mrs. Thompson looked a bit embarrassed by her clumsiness, but luckily, she was an unflappable person who was used to overcoming unexpected obstacles. "Yes, Laura, I'm fine. Just a little misstep."
The class continued without a hitch and Mrs. Thompson was back to her usual upbeat self. Suddenly, one of the students, a stubborn young boy named Tim, raised his hand and asked a question that had nothing to do with the current lesson.
"Mrs. Thompson, why do we have to learn this boring stuff? It's definitely not going to help us in the real world."
Mrs. Thompson took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. She knew that Tim was an obstinate child, but she was adaptable and knew how to deal with him. "Tim, I understand that this subject may not be your favorite, but it's important to learn it. It will help you improve your language skills and be better at communicating."
Tim rolled his eyes, but Mrs. Thompson didn't let that faze her. She continued teaching the lesson, never losing her composure.
As the class ended, Laura approached Mrs. Thompson.

In a bustling café, permeated with the alluring scent of freshly brewed coffee, Sarah, an aspiring young writer brimming with determination, sat across from Henry, her unflappable and wise mentor. The café buzzed with lively conversations and joyous laughter as the two indulged in their steaming cups of java.
Abruptly, Sarah's eyes widened with a jolt of realization. "Oh no, Henry! I accidentally sent the incorrect version of my manuscript to the publisher. They were expecting my latest novel, but unknowingly, I sent them an outdated draft!"
Henry, renowned for his adaptable nature, calmly regarded Sarah's face, radiating anxiety. He swiftly assured her, "Fear not, Sarah. Fortunately, this predicament can be resolved. Let us promptly reach out to the publisher and elucidate the inadvertent mix-up."
A wave of relief washed over Sarah, yet an undercurrent of embarrassment persisted. She lamented, "I can't fathom how I committed such a foolish blunder. I ought to have been more cautious."
Henry, with his familiar and soothing voice, reassured her, "Mistakes are a part of life, Sarah. We all stumble on our paths. It is how we obstinately confront them that truly defines us."
Guided by Henry's wisdom, Sarah contacted the publisher, unbeknownst to her, a realm of unexpected possibilities awaited. The publisher, to her amazement, marveled at the obstinate craftsmanship of the outdated draft. They insisted it held definite promise, steering Sarah's embarrassment towards a newfound confidence. She realized that even in the face of mishaps, lies the potential for growth and unforeseen success.

Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor - Bare.
But all the time I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now -
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

So it was not impossible that I,
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
Would suddenly find myself in the path
Of a ball stung by Joe Barone.

Clean and untouched, transfixed
By its easy arc before it hit
My forehead with a thud.

His parents noted Wesley's morale. "It's the first time in years he's looked happy," said his mother.
Wesley gave them a tour of Weslandia.
"What do you call this plant?" asked his father. Not knowing its name, Wesley had begun calling it "swist," from the sound of its leaves rustling in the breeze.
In like manner, he'd named his new fabrics, games, and foods, until he'd created an entire language.
Mixing the plant's oil with soot, Wesley made a passable ink. As the finale to his summer project, he used the ink and his own eighty-letter alphabet to record the history of his civilization's founding.
In September Wesley returned to school...
