12．"Everything happens for the best．"Whenever I faced disappointment，my mother would say this to me．
After I graduated from college in 1932，I decided to find a job in a radio station as a sports announcer （广播员）．I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station．But unluckily，I was refused every time．
At one station，a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn't hire （雇佣） an inexperienced person and suggested that I try my luck at smaller stations．Following her advice，I went back to Dixon，where I had grown up．There were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon，and my father said a newly-opened store wanted a local athlete to work for it．I applied for the job，but I was refused again．
"Everything happens for the best，"Mom reminded me．Dad offered me the car to look for a job．I tried WOC Radio in Davenport，Iowa．The program director，Peter MacArthur，told me they had already hired an announcer．
As I left his office，my frustration（失意、挫败） boiled over．"How can I become a sports announcer if I can't get a job in a radio station？"I asked aloud．
While I was waiting for the elevator，I heard someone calling．It was MacArthur．"What was that you said about sports？Do you know anything about football？"Then he asked me to broadcast （广播） an imaginary（想象出来的） game．He was pleased with my performance，he offered me a chance to work there．
On my way home，I thought of my mother's words："If you carry on，one day something good will happen．Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous（先前的） disappointment"．

8．Today is my birthday．After today I'lI be 22 years old．I'm a college student now．But can you believe that I'was not a good boy when I was a middle school student and often caused trouble with the teachers？I was too young to know the importance of life．My parents even said that they almost lost the hope．But things changed on the afternoon of May 12，2008．The earthquake suddenly happened and it took away my father．
For a long time，I could find a way to cheer up myself until one day I knew the story about Liao Zhi．On that day，she was playing with her10-month-old daughter at home，the building began to shake．"I carried my daughter in my arms and wanted to go downstairs．But when my mother-in-law opened the door，the building fell down．"
Liao was saved on the night of May 13，but her mother-in-law and her baby daughter died．What's worse，Liao's legs were seriously hurt in the earthquake and had to be cut off at the knee．What does this mean to a dancer？At first she thought she wouldn't be able to dance anymore，and her life would become very hard．But when she saw that her family and friends care so much about her，she decided not to let them down．She first learned to turn over in bed without help，and later，when she felt better，she began to practice dancing on the bed．Months later，Liao put on artificial limbs（假肢）．She smiled and said to her mother，"Tomorrow I will be able to walk，and before long，I will dance again．"
When I saw her dance on CCTV，I came to know that the earthquake has taken away a lot of things，but it could never take away the hope of life．Sometimes the bad thing can give us a chance to think more about our lives and make us try to be a better man．

5．Eating habits are different in many countries．The Chinese have a saying，"Eat good things for breakfast，eat a big meal for lunch，but eat less at dinner．"Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast，but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different．
Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch．So they eat a small meal．After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner．Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family members，talking about their day is a way to rest after a long，hard day of work．
