3．Many years ago，my dad was diagnosed （诊断） wit a serious heart condition．He was unable to work a steady job．He would be fine for a while，but would then fall suddenly ill and have to be admitted to the hospital．
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy，so he decided to volunteer at the local children's hospital．My dad loved kids．It was the perfect job for him．He ended up working with the seriously ill children．He would talk，play，and do arts with them．
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed （瘫痪） her from the neck down．She couldn't do anything，and she was very depressed．My dad decided to try to help her．He started visiting her in her room，bringing paints，brushes and paper．He stood the paper up，put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint．He didn't use his hands at all．All the while he would tell her，"See，you can do anything you set your mind to．"
At the end of the day，she began to paint using her mouth，and she and my dad became friends．Soon after，the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her．My dad also let the children's hospital for a little while because he became ill．Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work，in came the little girl who had been paralyzed，but this time she was walking．She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight．She gave him a picture she had done using her hands．At the bottom it read："Thank you for helping me walk．"

13．I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job．I also think my work is important．There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career．
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork．In my final term I started thinking about what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer．I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career．
I then found myself a job，looking after two little girls．It wasn't too bad at first．But the problems began when I agreed to live in，so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening．We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week，she'd give me time off the next．But unfortunately，it didn't often work out．I was getting extremely tired and fed up，because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children．

20．Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money．Strange as it may seem，if you're unsatisfied，the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires-not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes．
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities （能力）  to enjoy life．Most people are already swamped（淹没） with things．They eat，wear，go and talk too much．They live in too big a house with too many rooms，yet their house of life is a hut．
Your house of life ought to be a mansion （豪宅），a royal palace．Every new taste，every additional interest，every fresh enthusiasm adds a room．Here are several rooms your house of life should have．
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things．If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them，they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry．
Literature，classic literature，is a beautiful，richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment．To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person，for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library．
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent．Real riches are of the spirit．And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk，you have increased your thrills and bettered them．And life is a matter of thrills．
Sports，without which you remain poor，mean a lot in life．No matter who you are，you would be more human，and your house of life would be better supported against the hard days，if you could，and did，play a bit．
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life，the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding．

17．Jonny：Hey!I'm just practicing Tai Chi（太极）．Would you like to join me？

Last week I went to visit to my former neighbor，Mr．Yang．He and I used to living next to each other for many years．About half a year ago，an order came which our old buildings，as well as many other similar ones，should be going to be pulled away to make room for a main street．So they had to move apart．Mr．Yang now lives in the suburbs near a beautiful park．His apartment is much big than before．The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area．Thus，Mr．Yang doesn't seem to worry about the long distance．He says that new subway line will be built in a few year and he is sure life will be better in the future．
