Trying to come to a decision complete on your own can be risky. Some decisions are very important that they shouldn¡¯t be made without talking to others first. There have several advantages if you consult the persons you trust. For one thing, they can give you valuable advices and they may point out some things you may have been overlooked. For another, friends may stop you make big mistakes.

When consulting others about important decisions, you should keep two things of mind. The first one is that you need to find someone whom you respect enough to trust their judgment. The second thing to consider is how to do if you disagree with this person. Maybe turning to a third or fourth person for help is a good choice. In word, making any big decision alone can lead to problems. Talking to friends or family members first are always a good idea.

I was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Micky, gave me a note from his mother. It ___________ his absence from class the day before.

I had seen Micky himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my ___________ . The forged(αÔìµÄ) excuse notes made a large pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The ___________ of those notes didn¡¯t realize that honest excuse notes were usually ___________ : ¡°Peter was late because the alarm clock didn¡¯t go off.¡±

The students always said that it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject, but when they ___________ excuse notes, they were brilliant.

So one day I gave the excuse notes to my classes, saying, ¡°They¡¯re ___________ to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Micky ? ¡± The students looked at me ___________ .

¡°Now, this will be the first class to study the ___________ of the excuse notes --- the first class, ever, to practice writing them. You¡¯re so ___________ to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a ___________ worthy of study. ¡±

Everyone smiled as I went on, ¡°You used your ___________. So try more now. Today I¡¯d like you to write ¡®An Excuse Note from Adam/Eve to God¡¯.¡± ___________ went down. Pens raced ___________ paper. For the first time ever I saw students so ___________ in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.

The next day everyone had excuse notes. ___________ discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked ___________ , looking at papers, and then said, ¡°I¡¯d like you to see me in my office.¡± My heart ___________ .

When I stepped into his office, he came to ___________ my hand and said, ¡°I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was ___________ . Those kids were writing on the college ___________. Thank you. ¡±

I was with a group of businessmen, and we were dealing with a question¡ªWhat is a good person?

At a certain point during the discussion, one of the students¡ªa young man of about 30¡ªdescribed an event that happened at Christmas. He and his five-year-old son were decorating the Christmas tree, and a little boy came to the front door begging. If you ever visit Mexico, you will see that the people there take begging as nothing to get upset about and nothing to get embarrassed by.

So, this little boy came to the door, a boy about the same age as my student¡¯s son. The father and the son went to the front door, and the father went back with his five-year-old son and said to him, ¡°Give him one of your toys.¡± At the words, the little boy quickly picked up one toy, and his father said to him, ¡°No, no£­give him your favorite toy.¡±

And the little boy, like a little tiger, said, ¡°No way!¡± He cried; he refused. But the father, like a big tiger in a way, insisted gently, ¡°No, you must give him one of your favorite toys.¡±

And finally the boy, with his head down, picked up a toy he had just gotten. The father waited in the living room, and the boy walked to the front door with the toy in his hand. The father waited and waited.

What do you think happened?

After a couple of minutes, his son came running back into the living room, his face lighted up. ¡°Daddy,¡± he said, ¡°can I do that again?¡±

I think I have got the answer to the question.

The phrase ¡°live, love and laugh¡± was one my cousin Roger lived by every day of his life. Even in his sickness, he found the positive in what some would see as a negative situation. He enjoyed life. He loved to laugh and most importantly, he lived life to the absolute fullest. He loved to travel, learning new things about different people and their culture.

Roger was born and raised in Alabama, and he then moved to Buffalo, New York where he lived for many, many years until he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, his final resting place.

Whether his travels were long visits or short visits, large cities or small towns, his favorite souvenir item was T-shirt. Everywhere he went he would buy a T-shirt to remind him of his travels. Every T-shirt he owned had a story behind it that he would share with others.

As long as he was laughing, living and traveling, he was happy. He loved everybody he came in contact with and everybody loved him. The old saying, ¡°He never met a stranger¡±, definitely applied to Roger and his life.

His last few years of life were in and out of the hospital at least 10~15 days a month, sometimes more. Two weeks before he passed away, I spoke with him on the phone, and even then he managed to tell jokes about life.

I know he left this world happily; he refused to allow anything or anyone to hold him down, even his severe illnesses. He was definitely a model to look up when it comes to not allowing any situation to keep you from moving forward in life.

I will forever miss his smile and his love for life. My cousin Roger knew the true meaning of the phrase ¡°live, love and laugh¡±.

Are you truly happy? Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness? 1. . The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.

Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.

Surround yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. 2.

When something goes wrong, try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in self pity. Truly happy people don' t allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor.

3. . These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.

4. . Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance, you will be subconsciously (ÏÂÒâʶµØ) putting yourself in a better mood.

Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.

Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness. 5.

A. What makes one person happy may be very different from what makes someone else happy.

B. On the contrary, if you are around people who are happy, their emotional state will be influenced.

C. Being overweight or not eating nutritious foods can have a negative effect on your mood.

D. These are important questions for anyone who is seeking happiness to ask themselves.

E. Spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy.

F. There are some tips in life that lead to happiness.

G. It' s also important to take some time each day to do something nice for yourself.

If you live in a big city, there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route, and it¡¯s not just overcrowded subway trains.

Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she can¡¯t put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator£¨×Ô¶¯·öÌÝ£©in subway stations. ¡°Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isn¡¯t a place to rest,¡± the 24-year-old says. ¡°I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours. It annoys me to no end.¡±

Admitting she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where ¡°stand right, walk left¡± signs are often ignored.

The logic behind the ¡°stand right, walk left¡± escalator etiquette£¨ÀñÒÇ£©seems obvious. Even though you may want to catch your breath while you¡¯re transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train.

Many cities¡¯ escalators, including London¡¯s and Beijing¡¯s, use the ¡°stand right, walk left¡± system to speed up the flow of people.£¨Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.£©But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kong¡¯s subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to ¡°stand still¡± on escalators. Even so, most people in this fast-paced city observe the ¡°stand right, walk left¡± etiquette.

But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. The BBC quotes one stander as saying£º¡°If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs? Even when the escalator is packed and there¡¯s nowhere to move, I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.

Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, don¡¯t stay at the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple ¡°excuse me¡± is enough.

1.In the second paragraph, the underlined word It refers __________.

A£®the author¡¯s living in the big city of Hong Kong

B£®being crowded on the subway trains m rush hours

C£®people¡¯s blocking the way or chat on the escalators

D£®people¡¯s standing on the right side resting

2.When on the escalator, a majority of local people in Hong Kong __________.

A£®stand still as the railway stations require

B£®ignore the ¡°stand right, walk left¡± signs

C£®use the stairs instead of escalators

D£®follow the ¡°stand right, walk left¡± etiquette

3.What can be inferred from the 6th paragraph?

A£®Not everyone follows the ¡°stand right, walk left¡± etiquette.

B£®The BBC is against the ¡°stand right, walk left¡± etiquette.

C£®People should be patient and take the stairs if possible.

D£®People shouldn¡¯t complain about the crowded escalators.

4.Which of the following statements is the writer¡¯s opinion?

A£®People should stand right no matter where they are.

B£®People should do as the Romans do and consider others.

C£®People should do as they like on the escalators.

D£®People should be seriously criticized when they block the way.

Selfie

Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie. It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.

Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last but not least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it. It's fun, and it's a cool way to sort of document your own life.

G. The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.

Mr. Brown was going away for a week.

His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.
