　　Life was pretty terrible for most people in London 100 years 1 . They had to put up with noise, smoke 2 dirt. The noise came from the railway, and the smoke and dirt came from the trains and 3 of chimneys (烟囱) all 4 them. The smoke often mixed with fog and hung in the air 5 . Diseases killed thousands of children. 6 were large but often five 7 seven children would die 8 they were five years old.

　　Is life 9 than it was 100 years ago? It is certainly 10 that people live longer than they used to, travel faster than they used to, and 11 more things than they did. But we still have to put up with noise, overcrowding and bad air. These things are 12 a basic part of modern 13 .

　　100 years ago, there was a 14 difference between 15 and country. But the motor cars have 16 all that. One motorway can take up a huge amount of land. Cars are also a basic part of modern life.

　　But industry and modern life do not have to be 17 of beauty. We can have both 18 and progress. We need clean rivers and open country just as much as people 19 100 years ago. But it's becoming more and more difficult 20 open land, clear water and clean air.

There was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths.1. I found that the two paths were different from each other.

The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice.  2.  Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.

 3. It wasn’t nice , but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 4.  

Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.

 5. Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!

E. I told them what happened.

F. My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life.

G. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park.

Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954.

   What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who doesn’t know how to swim, falls in deep water? They drown. If an animal who has not learnt swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal doesn’t.

   Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never questioned it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts you jam if the operator typed too fast.

   These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers command to your nervous system.

   I used a snake in my workshop for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India said snakes are slippery and slimy and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they took my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.

   Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change.
