A friend’s grandfather went to America from Eastern countries．After he was processed(移民入境检查)at Ellis Island, he went into cafeteria(自助餐厅)in lower Manhattan to get something to eat．He sat down at an empty table and waited for a waiter to take his order．
Of course no waiter came at all．At last, a woman held a plate full of food and sat down opposite him．When she saw the old man without any food, she told him how a cafeteria worked．
“Start out at that end,”she said．“Just go along the line and pick out what you want．At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay．After you pay for the food, you can bring it here and eat it．”
“I soon knew how everything works in America,”the grandfather told a friend．“Life is like a cafeteria here．You can get anything you want only if you are willing to pay the money．You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring to you．You have to get up and get it by yourself．”

So one day when the lion was near the horse, she told him that there was 7 wrong with one of her feet and asked him to look it 8 ．Of course, the lion was very glad to do so．Then the horse raised one of his legs from the ground． 9 the lion looked at her foot, she kicked him on the 10 ．The lion fell to the ground．The horse laughed and ran away．
Not long ago，I made up my mind to read a lot of books to get more knowl-edge．So I went to the library and 1 happily with several books．But after a few days，I felt impatient．The 2 of finishing all of them seemed impossible，be-cause I always found it 3 to calm down to read a whole book．I didn't know what to do with it．Then 4 one day I thought of“Why not make reading fun?” It gave me 5 again．Reading is a journey of spirit．we are actually talking 6 the writer．I tried to put all my effort into his or her books， 7 I could feel all of his or her happiness and suffering．Now books have become a part of my life．See? Attitude(态度)can make a great 8 ． Someone once said．“Even though the situation is bad，people still have one freedom(自由) to 9 their attitude．”So，don't complain about study or work．It helps 10． Try to see things from a different way．Believe me；this will change the situation and help you a lot．
