“Just sign here, sir,” the postman said as he handed Oscar a package.
The package consisted of a long, narrow      carefully wrapped in brown paper. Opening the box, Oscar saw an umbrella inside—a very old one with a beautiful handle (把手).      he had not seen it in more than 20 years, he recognized it immediately.
Oscar was 16 when he first saw the unusual umbrella. He had gone to a      with his grandparents. As they were leaving, he noticed an umbrella on an empty seat. Shocked by its beauty, Oscar wanted to find its    . He asked the manager of the theatre to look up the record of ticket sales. The name was Mrs. Brain. It was hard work to find     Mrs Brain lived. However, they managed to get there.
Oscar rang the bell of Mrs. Brain’s house. The door opened, and an elderly woman appeared. “May I help you?” she asked.
“I’d like to return it if it’s yours,” Oscar said, holding out the umbrella.
“Why, yes! It’s mine,” replied Mrs. Brain with a     smile and shining eyes. “It was given to me by my father years ago. Thank you so much for returning it. ”
“May I offer you a reward for your     ?”
“No, madam,” he said, “My grandmother says a good deed is its own reward.”
“Well, that’s      my father used to say. What is your name, young man?”
Years later, Oscar was       the handle of the umbrella as he remembered Mrs. Brain. It was in perfect condition, considering how old it was. Why had it arrived here today?
As if in answer, a note fell from the paper. It read, “I want you to      this umbrella as a present for a kind, unselfish action long ago.” Oscar was deeply moved with tears.

A group of swans (天鹅)flew down to a beach where a crow(乌鸦)was jumping around. The crow watched t     with disdain(鄙视).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “ All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s      (超出) you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles,        (表演) other flying tricks, and then came down and looked at the swan        (自豪地).
Now it was the swan’s       . He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(评价)about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was        but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling       the water.
The swan pretended(假装)not to notice, and said, “Why do you  k     touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No, ” said the crow. He knew he had       the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! I   you don’t help me , I’ll lose my life……”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.

Though there are so many passages about positive thinking, few people really understand what it is. Being positive doesn’t mean ignoring (忽视) what is happening around us. If someone is going through problems or living in a difficult situation, we cannot expect him to ignore his problems and start thinking positively right away.
It is easier to think positively when we are in a comfortable situation, rather than a bad situation. We cannot think positively when we have problems, unless we are trained to. No one can speak a foreign language before studying and practicing for some time. The same thing is true about being positive. However, saying that everything is going to be all right, smiling for no reason, or ignoring problems without trying to solve them, is not being positive. It is daydreaming.
Positive people expect the best and believe that a bad situation will be improved, but they are also practical (明智的) people. They look for opportunities and solutions instead of doing nothing. They can improve a bad situation with a positive attitude. They can not only keep thinking of the problem that they face, but they can also refuse to let the problem affect their mind too much.
Positive thinking is being hopeful, and hope brings light and happiness into our life. One can just live with a bad attitude, or one can try to do one’s best in a bad situation. It is a matter of choice.
小题1: When we are in bad situation, it is ____ for us to think positively at once.
A.harderB.easier
C.quickerD.slower
小题2: Which one of the following is being positive?
A.Ignoring everything that we are facing.
B.Doing nothing but thinking.
C.Daydreaming all day.

A.Being positive can be trained, like learning a language.
B.Positive people can look for solutions in bad situations.
C.Problems can have a bad influence on positive people.

Have you been back to the place    your ancestors lived, worked, studied and
played?  Robert Qian , a Chinese Canadian, already has. Now in China, he has found

It was the first day of second grade, and Sarah had been looking forward to this moment. The night before,she laid out her favorite clothes: a white coat and a bright yellow shirt.
When having breakfast, Sarah dropped some food on her shirt, so she had to change into her second-best clothes, blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt.
After breakfast Sarah rushed to catch the school bus and when she was just reaching the door the bus driver opened it. The door hit right in Sarah’s face and blood dripped from her nose. The driver wanted to send her home, but she refused, "It is the most important day of the year! I can’t miss it!"
Before classes, Sarah went to her favorite swing(秋千). When rising high, she saw her best friend little Jack. She let go of the swing and waved to him with one hand. Unfortunately, she flew out of the swing and landed hard on the sand, breaking a leg and an arm. As she lay in the sand, she noticed a shiny thing on the ground beside her. With her good hand she took it.
When Sarah’ mother rushed into the ward she was surprised by what she saw: her girl was lying in bed with an arm and a leg in the splint (夹板), a broken nose, and blood stains on her second-best clothes. Expecting to see her child crying, she was confused when she saw a big, bright smile on Sarah’s face. 
"Sarah, look at you!" her mother cried. "You were hurt so badly and why are you smiling?"                "Look, Mommy, I found a diamond!" Sarah laughed.
