The last time I was there he greeted me by saying，"I want to tell you why I let you use my house．It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable （马厩） to stable，farm to farm，training horses．As a result，the boy's high school was continually interrupted （打断）．One day in the last year of high school，he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up．
"He wrote a seven-page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail．He put a great deal of his heart into the project and even drew a detailed floor plan for the dream ranch．Then the next day he handed it in to his teacher．Two days later he received his paper back．But he got a low mark with a note that read，‘See me after class．'
"The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked，‘Why did I receive a low mark？'"
"The teacher said，‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you．You have no money．You come from a poor family．Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money．There's no way you could ever do it．'Then the teacher added，‘If you will rewrite this paper，I will reconsider your mark．'
he should do．His father said，‘Look，son，you have to make up your own mind on this．However，I think it is a very important decision for you．'
"Finally，the boy turned in the same paper，making no changes at all．He wrote，‘You can keep the low mark and I'll keep my dream．'"

16．In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film-maker Walter Disney．He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon film for children．When Walter Disney heard Nash's voice，he said，"Stop!That's our duck!"
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck，who first appeared in 1934 in the film，The Wise Little Hen．Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat．Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film．The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy，and because he lost his temper very easily．And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews．Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself，probably because he wasn't a goody-goody，like Mickey．
In the 1930s，1940s，and 1950s，Donald and his friends Mickey，Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons．He also made educational film about the place of the USA in the world，and safety in the home．Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared-there were no more new cartoons．
Clarence Nash died in February，1985．But today's children can still see the old cartoons on the television and hear that famous voice．

6．She was amazedat how calm she felt after the accident．
13．A good laugh is like a mild workout．It exercises the muscles，gets the blood flowing，decreases blood pressure and improves sleep patterns and the immune system．（36）E
•Don't take life too seriously．We all have obstacles in life and we all make mistakes．（ 37）BIn fact，if you can laugh lightheartedly at your own fault，you'll find that you give yourself that extra happiness and confidence increase that can get you over any obstacle．
•Find the humor in a bad situation．Sure，there are some situations where you are really sad．（ 38）CThe next time you feel the stress levels rising，take a minute to think about the funny side of the situation and laugh over the things you cannot control．This will lower your blood pressure，blood sugar levels and heart rate．
•Remind yourself of funny moments from the past．Perhaps a friend told you a great joke the other day or your children or pets did something amusing．（ 39）GSometimes just reliving a funny moment can cause the endorphins （内啡肽），natural painkillers，to kick in．
（40）DAs the saying goes，laughter is contagious （会传染的）．So make a point of seeking out positive people who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves and are good at finding humor in life's situations．Young children are especially skilled at finding laughter and joy in everyday moments．

10．Being in a negative space is harmful to our overall well-being．Let's give up some of the most common negative thoughts many of us repeat to ourselves．
●（36）A
Even if you find yourself lacking in something，there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself．The human brain is an unbelievable thing．Be inspired by Dr．Jill Bolte Taylor，who took eight years to recover from her illness and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah．
●No one cares about me．
To accurately say that your family and friends don't care about you would be a very rare situation．Maybe you're being too negative and overlooking the gestures of love they show you．They don't even have to be big gestures，but it's the little things they did for you that count．（37）EStart showing people you care，so they can show you back in kind．
●I really dislike this person．
If you dislike a person，focusing on his had qualities is not going to make things better．You need to know that he is human too，which means he makes mistakes．（38）FFocus on his good qualities，and repeat them to yourself．
●Why is he better off？．
（39）DThere's always going to be someone who is younger，prettier，smarter，or richer than you．Remember，there are people who are also worse off than you and what they don't have is your whole package．（40）B

A．I'm not good enough．
B．Be grateful for what you have．
C．You think you won't be able to"get there"．
D．Comparing yourself to someone else is never positive．
E．And people may be reacting to the energy you're putting out．
F．Learn to approach him or think about him in a positive manner．
G．Keep on working toward something，and watch the leaps you'll make．
9．There has been agradual（逐渐的）increase in the birth rate．
