Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate．He is always in a good  36 and always has something  37  to say．

     If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the  38  how to look on the positive side of the situation．Seeing this style really made me  39  , so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don' t  40  ．You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?"

     Michael replied, each morning I  41 and say to myself 'Mike, you have two  42 today．You can choose to be in a  43  mood or be in a bad mood．' I  44  to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a  45  or choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．"

     "Yeah, right．It isn't that easy．" I protested．

     "Yes it is, " Michael said．"Life is all about choices．You choose how you react  46 situations and how people will affect your mood．You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood．The bottom line is: It's your choice  47  you live life．"

     Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious 48 , falling off 60 feet from a communications tower．After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive  49  , Michael recovered．When I asked him what had  50  his mind as the accident took place．

     "The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied．"Then, as I  51  on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to  52  ．I chose to live．"

     Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also  53  his amazing attitude．

     I learned from him  54  every day we have a choice to live fully． 55 is everything．

Early this morning, I got up to make a batch of Rice Krispie treats（大米花糖） for my neighbor across the hall. She   21  greets me when we see each other, and her little boy, who’s now 4, won’t talk to me either.

Last Monday, she called the firefighters when a pan I’d forgotten on the stove caused my flat to     22  . I had gone for a walk, but when I came home the street in front of our apartment was   23   by a police car, a fire truck and an ambulance!   24   I saw them, I remembered the pan!

I felt safe knowing that    25  we don’t get along, my neighbor had done the right thing and didn’t blame me. Hence, the Rice Krispie treats.

Last Christmas, my neighbor revealed that she had been a little angry about me because of a(n) __26___ four years ago. I had apologized and asked if there was anything I could do to ___27___ our relationship, but she would not accept my     28  .

Her direct refusal really    29   me. After that, I decided I’d just leave her be—a relationship     30   two to work.

So, you see, I was really scared she was going to refuse my offer again,    31    me standing on her     32   holding my plate of treats. Then, I reminded myself of how good I had felt the day before when I’d done some random acts of ___33___ after telling myself: “ Feel the fear, and do it    34   !”

After placing the Rice Krispie treats on a beautiful plate, I opened my apartment door and met her in the hall way. I said：“I just wanted to tell you how    35   I am that you were paying attention on Monday.” I held the plate    36  her, explaining these were very sweet American treats and that she    37  try to see whether she and her family liked them. She took the plate and we talked a bit about   38   she’d become aware of the smoke in my flat before parting ways.
