My life as a little person is filled with stories. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents．It has taken many years of 36 my confidence to be able to do that．
I didn’t 37 how short I was until I started school．As time went on，I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be 38 my whole life．I was determined to make my 39 an advantage rather than a disadvantage．My friends became increasingly 40 . They’d help me up the bus steps．If people were cruel，they would take them aside and 41 them．
42 I lacked in height，I 43 in personality my ability to laugh，even at myself．For example，one time I was 44 the washing machine at my parents’ house to grab the wet clothes．I fell 45 in and yelled for Mother，who was sitting nearby reading the paper．Watching feet 46 everywhere，she laughed and said，“I should leave you in there.” I 47 her．
I’m 47 now，and the 48 have not reduced as I’ve grown older．People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse．They look 49 when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side．During those times，I try to keep a good 50 . When people are rude，I 51 myself，“Look what else I have --a great family，nice friends.”
And it’s the children’s questions that make my life 52 ．“Why are you so short? How old are you? Are you a mommy?” When I talk with children，they are left 53 that their questions have been answered．My hope is that in taking time with them，I will 54 them to accept their peers，whatever size and shape they come in， 55 treat them with respect．

What can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn later.
The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one’s earning potential shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.
“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed,” said Xu. She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”.
Maybe that’s why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism(交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.
But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?
“Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition of ‘friend’,” said Meghan Daum, who works with the Los Angeles Times in the US.

Most of us lead a busy life. 【小题1】 We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy”, or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?
Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings. 【小题2】 “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” And as Brodersen explains. “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend’s smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”
Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress. Take me for example. 【小题3】 One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.
Thirdly, don’t take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them? 【小题4】 As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what’s in it for me? Happiness is found in putting other’s interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a dead-end street.” 【小题5】
| A．I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos. |
| B．In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels. |
| C．Driven by the “urgent”, we forget to enjoy life. |
| D．So please treasure relationship. |
F. Be aware of beauty in nature.
G. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.
My name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.
Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.
This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.
We can ruin a person’s life by just a few bad words. There is an old saying that I will never forget: “Words and water are easily poured, but impossible to recover.” So please remember to watch what you say.
