Two sailors ran into each other in a pub.Over a few beers,one of the men told the other about his last __1__.“After a month at sea,”he said,“we __2__ our masts(桅杆)had been eaten through by termites(白蚁)!”

“That’s terrible,”said the second sailor.

“That’s what I thought at first,too,”the first sailor said,“but it turned out to be good luck.As soon as we took the sails down to fix the masts,we were hit by a __3__ wind so suddenly and so hard;it would surely have blown us over if our sails were up at the time.”

“How lucky!”

“That’s __4__ what I thought at the time,too.But because our sails were down,we couldn’t __5__,and because of the wind,we were blown onto a reef.The hole in the ship was too big to fix.We were stranded(搁浅).”

“That is bad luck indeed.”

“That’s what I thought,too,when it first happened.But we all made it to the __6__alive and had plenty to eat.But now here’s the real kicker:While we were on the island complaining about our terrible fate,we discovered buried __7__!”

As this story shows,you don’t know if an event is “good” or “bad”,and even thinking about a past event you don’t really know because __8__ keeps going.

__9__,you can simply assume whatever happens is “good”.If you think an event is good,it’s easy to have a __10__ attitude.And your attitude affects your health,it affects the __11__people treat you and how you treat others,and it affects your energy level.And those can help __12__ the way for things to turn out well.A good attitude is a good thing.And a bad attitude does you no good at all.

I’ve always been surprised at how quickly summer vacations end.At the beginning of July,the summer seems __13__.The fall school term seems very far away.But then one day we look at the calendar and realize,hey,we start school next week!

Well,I’m glad to be back at school and I hope you are,too.It’s good to meet old friends and to make __14__ ones.And it’s great to enjoy the chance of having an education.Not __15__ has this advantage of having an education.Many children around the world are too __16__ to have an education.And in some __17__a,however,has always considered education important.Education makes the student a better person and educated people make the nation stronger.

Of course,a good education system means having good teachers.__18__10 is Teacher’s Day.It’s the day that students show their respect __19__ their teachers.Many teachers will receive cards or small gifts.It’s the way in __20__students say “thank you” to their teachers for all their caring and hard work.Teachers love this thoughtful behavior by their students.It makes them feel that the work they are doing is worthwhile.
