This Christmas, maybe different from previous years, a strong desire drives me to make my own Christmas gifts. Honestly speaking, I’ve promised myself this more than once. As a crafter (工匠), I’ve frequently thought I am supposed to turn it into action. However, this year I really plan to stick to it. It’s partly because I run short of money. More importantly, I’ve recently returned from an inspiring trip around Britain, collecting some information about crafting for BBC’s Newsnight.

Actually I planned the trip couples of months ago. The idea of traveling the country — making things as I went, meeting artists and craftspeople — sounded perfect to spend the summer. I’d pack a tent and a sewing machine and I’d set off. But by the time I determined my plans and hit the road, leaves made a sighing sound under foot. It seemed crazy to camp with winter on the way; Luckily, Newsnight viewers offered me accommodations in return for help with a craft task.

My tasks ranged from sewing worn-out clothes to making trousers. Textile students in Harpenden offered to pay for my petrol in return for a talk about hats. In Derby, Amy needed help to change an old pair of curtains.

I was really struck by people’s increasing enthusiasm for making things. When I asked some people if they could sew, only a few raised their hands. But when I asked who wanted to learn, nearly everyone responded positively, hoping to learn something practical.

Craft is definitely popular at the moment. But besides fashion, we’re learning to appreciate effort and quality again. Perhaps once people rediscover the pleasure to be gained from making something unique, it may stick.

Sue is director of quilts at the V&A, where next spring she’ll be putting on the museum’s first major quilting exhibition. Sue believes the return to crafting is related to how we rethink ourselves. “People, especially women, are beginning to think about the way they live their lives. It’s 40 years since the first women’s liberation(解放) conference was held in Oxford. Since then we’ve been in the workplace, and we’ve had the opportunity of choice. Now we’re carefully choosing to go back into the home.”

Whether you agree with that or not, there’s something about Christmas that brings out the artistic flavor(气息) in everyone. Whether it’s baking bread or pies or decorating the halls or rooms, we’re all prepared to have a try at any time. So if you fancy having a different and joyful party or holiday and making a few presents, try these really simple ideas, each inspired by my recent journey there. They make small and interesting gifts, and take no longer than 30 minutes each. Enjoy Christmas songs and settle down with a cup of hot cocoa, and the cold is gone. You’ll save yourself a small quantity of money and spread a little bit of love, too!

Before my recent graduation, the last project of the term was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out and 36 at three people and record their 37 .

Soon after we were given the 38 , my husband and I went out to McDonald’s one cold morning. We were standing in 39 , waiting to be 40 , when suddenly everyone around us began to back away. A feeling of 41 rose up inside of me as I wondered what happened.

As I 42 around I smelled a horrible dirty smell. Behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked at the short man close to me, he was smiling and his blue eyes searched for 43 .

He said “Good day” as he 44 the few coins. The waitress asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” That was all they could 45 .

I 46 felt the urge and actually hugged him. That was 47 I noticed all the eyes in the restaurant were set on 48 . I smiled and asked the waitress for two more breakfast meals on 49 trays(托盘). I then walked to the table that the men had 50 as a resting spot. I put the trays on the table and laid my 51 on the short man’s cold hand. He said “Thank you” with tears in his eyes.

I 52 this story as my project. My instructor read it and said, “Can I 53 this with your classmates?” I nodded. At that moment I found something more 54 than a simple smile. I graduated with one of the most important 55 I would ever learn, unconditional acceptance.

One of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.

When we see something we don’t like, we wish it could be different -- we cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something that’s ingrained（根深蒂固的）in our culture.

The root of unhappiness is that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place. We’ve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “It’s not bad or good, as it just is.”

An example: in my recent post（帖子）, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind, quite a few commentators thought my outlook was negative, pessimistic, or fatalistic（听天由命的）... because I said you should expect people to mess up, expect things to go differently from what you planned. Above all, you should embrace that.

It’s too negative to expect something to go wrong, they said. However, I think it’s only negative if you see it as negative, or if you judge it as bad.

Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works -- as the way things actually are. And try to understand why they are that way.

Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But changing things is not because you can’t accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of change of learning and growing.

Can we make this world a better place? Again, that’s an assumption that it’s a bad place fight now. But instead, you could say the world is just what it is -- and that’s neither good nor bad. You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world -- not because you’re such a bad person now, but because that’s the path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path.

As you catch yourself judging, and wishing for different -- try a different approach: accept, and understand. It might lead to some interesting results.

A. We can never change things because we can’t accept them.

B. We shouldn’t try to do whatever we can to help others and make a difference.

C. It’s wrong of you to expect things to go differently.

D. There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

2. What’s the main idea of the whole passage?

A. The world is a good place for us to live in.

B. Unhappiness comes from what we want to be different.

C. You might as well accept the world as it is and try to embrace it.

D. Let’s make the world more beautiful.

3.Where does the passage probably come from?
