As I was finishing seventh grade, my school decided to make some changes because of financial(财政的)problems. The school would make the classes bigger, so there could be fewer teachers.①We needed to write down the names of people we wanted to be with and didn't want to be with. I wrote down the names of all my close friends.

I found out that none of my close friends were in any of my new classes. Also, my new classmates were quite different from my old ones. I thought they weren't as smart as my old classmates. They were also not in the school activities I was in. I couldn't find common interests with them.

As the year went on, I began to feel lonely and envy people in other groups. Why could they be with all their friends? As I found out, they didn't have many friends at first. They had made new friends in their new classes. They seemed pretty happy with their new friends.

I decided it was time for me to make new friends. I noticed that the people with many friends were very active. ②They often talked to others first, while I was too scared to talk to others and hoped other people would talk to me first.

Once I realized that, I found that making friends is very easy if you can accept people for who they are, respect them, and talk to them. Now I feel a lot happier because I have more friends.

What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard work; others suggest knowledge, love and luck.

If you arrange(排列)the 26 English letters in

order and use numbers to represent each of them, for

example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c. . . 26 for z, you can

change an English word into a number. So hard work

becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98,meaning 98

is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5

=96;love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47,

a small mark. None of these words can give one a full

mark. What about money? It can't, either.

Then what else? Don't be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself : attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100,a full mark.

Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and became friendly toward others, you'll meet more smiling faces toward you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude toward failure, you'll find it's also rewarding(有益的)though it has caused you losses(损失).
