【题目】Norman Vincent Peale, a famous writer, once told a story. One day, a man named Frank telephoned him and said he had nothing left to live for. Peale invited him to his office. “Everything is gone, and I’m hopeless,” Frank told Peale. “I’m living in the darkness. In fact, I’ve lost hope for living.”

Peale smiled, feeling sorry for him. “Let’s take a look at your situation(处境).”

On a piece of paper he drew a straight line down in the middle. He told Frank that they must list the things Frank had lost on the left side, and on the right side, the things Peale hadn’t lost.

“You won’t need that column(栏;列) on the right side,” said Frank sadly.

It seemed Peale did not hear him. Peale asked, “When did your wife(妻子) leave you?”

“What do you mean? She doesn’t leave me! My wife loves me! “

“That’s great! “ said Peale excitedly, “Then we’ll only put that to the right column. Number One—Wife left. Now, when did your children go to prison(监狱)?”

“My children aren’t in prison! “

“Good! That’s Number Two on the right side--Children in prison.” said Peale, writing it down.
