题目内容
6.Around twenty years ago I was living in York.Though I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree,I could not find satisfying work.I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and living with a friend of mine,for I had lost my flat.I had attended five interviews with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not get the job."Why has my life become so hard?"I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to drop off a little girl,she handed me an earring saying I should keep it so that somebody could claim(认领)it.The earring was painted black and said"BE HAPPY".
At first I got angry.Then it hit me-I had been giving all of my attention to what was going wrong with my life rather than what was right!I decided then and there to make a list of fifty things I was happy with.Later,I decided to add more things to the list.That night there was a phone call for me from a lady who was a director at a large hospital.She asked me if I would give a one-day lecture on stress management to 200medical workers.I said yes.
My day there went very well,and before long I got a well-paid job.To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of thinking that I completely changed my life.

I first(16)noticeda boy under the tree on the first day of camp.His obvious(17)discomfort and shyness made him appear weak and lonely.Nearby,200 (18)eagercampers were playing and joking,but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere (19)other than where he was.
I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel(20)left out.So I (21)approached him and said,"Hi,I'm Kevin.It's nice to meet you.How are you?"(22)In a shaky voice he (23)unwillingly answered,"Okay,I guess."
I calmly asked him to join in the activities and (24)meet some new people.He quietly replied,"No,this is not really my thing."
I could (26)sense that this whole experience was (26)strangeto him.But I somehow knew it wouldn't be right to (27)push him,either.It was going to take more time and (28)efforts.
The next day,I was leading camp songs for the campers.They eagerly participated.But the boy was just sitting alone,(29)staring out the window.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting,I made my (30)concern about him known.I asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him (31)when they could.
The days flew by fast.When the"last dance"came,surprisingly,the boy from under the tree was now a shirtless dancing (32)wonder.He owned the dance floor (33)sharing meaningful time with others.I couldn't'believe it was him.
In that instant,I realized how easy it is to give a bit of (34)yourself every day.You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else.I tell this story as (35)often as I can,and I advise others to look out for their own"boy under the tree."
