As a student, you must have read a lot of interesting books. Most of the books come from the school library, I am sure. Perhaps you also get books from the bookstore in your town. The books are something given to you as   1   by your parents or friends, I think. Besides, if you like reading and want to learn more, I am sure that you buy books    2    .

Have you ever thought how books are   3   ? Well, after a book is written, it passes through the hands of many different workers. Each one works very carefully, for there must not be any    4    in the book. It is read many times by different people before it is finished.

Millions of books are printed in our country every year. So people can get   5   to read. Now may I ask you a question? How well do you take   5    of books? What have you learned about the care of books?

Perhaps you bought yourself some   7    books. Have you put paper covers on them? Do you open    8   carefully? Sometimes new books break along the back if you open them   9   in the middle. I hope that you don’t  10    the pages carelessly. If you do, you may tear them.

One day the employees of a large company in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: “Yesterday the person who had been in your way to success passed away. We invite you to join the funeral (葬礼) in the gym.

At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues (同事) had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.

The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: “Who is this person that was in my way? Well, at least he's no longer here!”

One by one the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材). When they looked inside it they were speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul (灵魂).

There was a mirror inside the coffin: Everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person who can stop yourself from succeeding: it is YOU.”

You are the only person who can change your life. You are the only person who can influence(影响)your happiness and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.

Your life does not change when your family changes, when your friends change, when your boss changes, or when your company changes.

Your life changes when YOU change, when you realize that you are the only one responsible (负责的) for your life.
