An ancient philosopher felt: be content with what you have; be pleased about the way things are. When you realize that, the whole world belongs to you.

When we can be grateful for what we have, and take our focus off what we think we are short of, it's amazing how our feelings will shift to a place of peace and happiness. The reason for "an attitude of thankfulness" isn't necessarily so that God can hear our appreciation, but perhaps so that we can live happily and peacefully, with a feeling of "all is well".

Have you ever experienced this-the feeling that "what is" is great, and there is no need to wish for things to be different? It's a wonderful feeling and a great way to go through life.

Here's an example: We have strong winds in the desert at times, and the other day the high winds broke three arms on the beautiful mimosa tree in my back yard. The tree's arms are twisted and the leaves and flowers are dying. It looks hurt and brown.

Well, that's certainly one way to choose to look at it, And if I choose that way, then I can allow myself to get upset that the tree has been hurt, that there will be less shade in the yard, that I have to cut up and pull away the branches, etc. OR I can choose to see that "all is well" –that nature does what it does, that trees will lose branches, that the yard is not a static thing, but it is alive. In other words, I can choose to be okay with "what is".

Either way, the tree situation hasn't changed-I've simply changed how I choose to interpret it. My interpretation then affects my emotions, my state of peacefulness, my happiness with things, etc.

When I choose to be content with "what is", to be pleased about the way things are, and to see that nothing is missing, that everything is just fine, then I choose to be at peace. Suddenly, the whole world looks beautiful. Instead of seeing problems, I see reality. I see "what is" and I am okay with it.

Try seeing everything and accepting everything just the way it is. And watch the world open up to you.

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely(绝对地) terrifying.

1. . However, most deaths result from fear, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace(支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.

Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off th e road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel(方向盘) in the "ten and two" position.

Undo your seatbelt. 2. . Release the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.

3. . Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape choice either because of fear or misinformation about doors and sinking.

Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car. 4. .

Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the stage where the car has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival. 5. . While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.

A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.

B. This is the first thing to do, yet it often gets forgotten.

C. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.

D. In short, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.

E. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to be filled with water usually.

F. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning(淹死).

G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.

Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains and buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends, and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering, and doing the other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of nature.

Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, and dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a two-week-visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city.

B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.

C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London.

D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London.

2.When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those ______ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of nature.

A. who live in the country.

B. who have spent time working in the garden.

C. who have a garden of their own.

D. who have been digging, planting, and watering.

3.People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______________ if they had to live outside London.

A. their life was meaningless

B. their life was invaluable.

C. they don’t deserve a happy life.

D. they were not worthy of their happy life

4.The underlined word “rest” in the last paragraph refer to “_____________”.

A. the rest questions

B. the rest people

C. the rest of the country

D. the rest of the parks and of the sea

There are various aspects that go into making a successful school, and success can be measured in various ways.Often, the teachers are praised for a school’s success and blamed for its failure.Yet, in order for a school to be effective, it must be a place where teaching and learning can easily take place, and that requires the hard work of more than just educators.Students must take learning into their own hands and feel as if what they are doing is as important as it actually is.This can only be done with the cooperation of every adult that is involved in the students’ life.Some of these individuals often go unnoticed, yet the role they play in the students’ lives is immeasurable.

Meanwhile, though cafeteria workers have a short space of time to interact with students, they can make a big difference as well.Beyond meeting nutritional needs, cafeteria workers may also on occasion meet the emotional needs of the students they serve.Students benefit from positive interaction with adults, and cafeteria workers may give that extra bit of encouragement that a child needs.

Custodians(管理员)are usually underappreciated for what they offer to schools.They have to be knowledgeable about everything from cleaning to fixing the most intricate(复杂的)tools.They get to school early in the morning before teachers arrive and lock up late at night after the last student has left from the after-school event.They also make sure teachers are equipped with the necessary items and prepare the rooms so that they are ready for learning.A great custodian also gives that kind word or extra smile to that student who needs it most.
