I teach economics at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I31asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth32. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I33seemed to be so cheerful.

His question34me of something I’d read somewhere before:“Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to35life that day,” I said.“I choose to be cheerful.”

“Let me give you a(n)36,” I continued,37all sixty students in the class.“In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson. I38the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car39. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t40. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and41down the road to the college.”

“As soon as I got there I called AAA(汽车协会) and42for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the Provost’s office asked me what had happened.‘This is my43day,’ I replied, smiling.”

“‘But your car breaks down.’ She was puzzled.‘What do you mean?’”

“‘I live 17 miles from here.’ I replied.‘My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t.44, it broke down in the45place:off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was46to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.’”

“The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class.” So ended my story.

I47the sixty faces in my economics class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep.48, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn’t the story at all.49, it had all started with a student’s50that I was cheerful.

  Dear Betty,

  My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.

  Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late?  At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

Yours,

Knowing Nothing

Dear Knowing Nothing,

  It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.

  You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

  Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.

  If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.

Yours,

Betty

        When I was an official of a school in Paio Alto,California, Polly Tyner, the president of our board,wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times.Polly’s son,Jim,had great difficulty in school, He was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers.But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room.His parents knew his difficulties,but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride.Shortly after Jim finished high school,he was killed in a motorcycle accldent, After his death,his mother gave this letter to the newspaper.

“Today we buried our 20-year-old son.He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night.How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be the last time.If I had only known that,I would have said to him,‘Jim,I love you and I’m always so proud of yon.’I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him.I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile,his laughter, and his genuine love to other people.

“When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (恼人的) things such as the radio that was always too loud,the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed,etc.,I find that the irritations really don’t amount to much.

       “I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but,other parents, do have a chance.Tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation.The last time I talked to Jim was the morning of the day when he died.He called me to say,‘Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you.You have to go to work now.Bye.’That day, he gave me something to treasure forever.”

       If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people,especially family members,that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care.You may never have another chance.Do it today!
