Jerry is a popular manager of a restaurant. It was his attitude 1made the waiters follow him. He was a natural motivator (鼓舞人心的人). If a(n) 2was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling him/her how to look on the 3side of the situation.
This attitude really made me4, so one day I asked him, “I don’t get it! No one can be a positive person5. How can you manage it?”
“Every time something bad happens, I can choose to 6it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining and I can 7the positive side of life. Why don’t we just do that later?” Jerry said.
Jerry told me an unusual story out of his experience. One day he left the back door of his restaurant 8and was robbed by three men. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from 9, slipped off the combination (开启号码的号码组合). The robbers got angry and 10him.
11, Jerry was found quickly and taken to the hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry 12with fragments (碎片) of the bullets (子弹) still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the 13. I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. “Did you lose consciousness? Weren’t you 14?” I asked.
“No,” Jerry said, “15when I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.”
“A nurse asked if I was allergic (过敏的) to anything. ‘Yes’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped 16as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘17!’”
“Over the laughter, I told them, ‘Please 18on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”
Jerry survived 19the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. Attitude, after all, is 20.

A mining(采矿的)engineer enjoyed flying very much. One day, he was flying his own plane over a lonely island when a 1 storm came, so he was 2 to make a forced landing. The plane was in good 3 but his legs and shoulder got 4 hurt. After getting out of the plane with great 5, he found nothing but high green hills 6 the place. He lay there expecting to die.
Soon, however, some men appeared from out of the forest. Though curious, they were not 7of him. He was then gently 8 to their village, where he was well treated. His 9 improved little by little and he became their 10. The place was 11 and pleasant and he was in 12 hurry to leave.
Several months later, he learned some of their language and 13 them some of his own.
One day, he discovered some sings of 14 mineral deposits(矿藏)in the soil. He decided to 15 to his country and set up a firm(公司)to mine the land.
It was not long 16 the peaceful land was taken over by strange men and machines. When there was 17left to mine, the firm 18 away. They had made a great deal of 19 for themselves, but the villagers’ land was 20. Now it is impossible to grow crops there.

About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn’t want to 1too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning,2, the clerk said that he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any proof 3I had given the man the money. There was clearly nothing left to do but go to the 4lawyer.
The lawyer 5me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred dollar bill to the desk. So we did. An hour later, I went 6to the desk and asked for my money. 7I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the 8hundred dollar bill, the clerk could not say he 9nothing about it.
Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s 10into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel to 11for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and 12the clerk insisted that he had given 13to me, I said it was not true. The lawyer said to him, “ I 14this gentleman give you a hundred-dollar bill. If you don’t hand it 15immediately, I will be forced to call the 16 ”. The clerk realized he had been 17, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
“ I don’t know 18to thank you enough for 19my money back.” I said to the lawyer. And what do you suppose he answered? He said, “ Oh, don’t 20me. That will be one hundred dollars, please.”

In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no 1 for stillness.
And when we are 2to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often 3something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re 4.
This comes at a 5: we lose that time for 6, for observing and listening. We lose peace.
And 7 yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get 8done.
Take a moment to think about 9 you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering 10, checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always 11through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your 12? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be 13. Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. 14be in the moment.
Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d 15 it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more 16.
Then be that vision.
It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. 17you’ve gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too18. Slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 19 for it.
20 the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.

I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the1celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not2much from the war where, though, like most children of my age, I often saw3houses in the streets and the very big4lorries(卡车) passing through. But both at home and at school I had become5to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously,6had been better, though I was too young to understand why,7there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had8heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very9to me. I did not remember what London was like.
What I remember now10V-Day(victory day) was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting11and building an enormous bonfire(篝火). We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and12myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.
It was May and still broad13when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to14the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very15, and somehow people had collected some old clothes to16“Hitler” with the moustache(胡子) they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames17soon. Everyone was cheering and shouting.
I stood beside my father until the18started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had19in the First World War and remembered everything he had experienced. At last he said, “Well, that’s it, son. Let’s hope that this time it really will be the20one.”

I did very badly at school. My headmaster thought I was 1and when I was 14 he said, “You’re never going to be 2but a failure.”
After five years of 3jobs, I fell in love with a very nice middle-class girl. It was the best4that could have happened to me. I5I wanted to do something positive (积极地) with my life because I wanted to prove to6that what people said about me was7. Especially her mother, who had said to me, “Let’s 8it, you’ve failed at everything you’ve ever done.” So I tried hard with my9and went to college. My first novel (小说)10while I was at college.
`After college I taught during the 11in high schools and attended evening classes at London University, where I got a12in history. I became a lecturer at a college and was thinking of 13that job to write full time 14I was offered a part-time job at Leeds University. I began to feel proud of myself — 15was a working-class boy who’d16school early, now teaching at the university
My writing career (职业) took off when I discovered my own style. Now I’m rich and 17, have been on TV, and met lots of film stars. 18what does it mean? I 19wish all the people that have put me down had 20 : “I believe in you. You’11 succeed.”

Not long ago, I had a hard week at work. 1 just kept popping up(出现) everywhere and I was struggling to keep from 2 my cool. I felt like I was at the 3 point.
One day, I made a trip across town to the store. After I 4, I realized I had left my purse with credit cards at home. 5, I had a small amount of cash in my pocket, so I 6 it, my coupons(优惠券) and went inside. The store was really 7, but I just found what I needed, waiting for the cashier(收银员) to check out my 8. I waited and waited, meanwhile my anger grew. I had a bad day and all I wanted to do was go home, but I was 9 in the line.
Finally, I got to the front, but the cashier didn’t 10 my coupons. I was upset because I had used 11 coupons there before. It didn’t 12 me. I would just pay in cash. Then the cashier said it was 10 dollars. SHOCK! I was a little 13. Now I was mad at myself for forgetting my purse and only taking a small amount of cash. Without a credit card or anything else, I 14 my things and started to go back out to my car, wondering to myself why everything had 15 for me.
Just as I was headed out, an employee 16 me and said a lady in the 17 had paid the difference for me and left. 18 the amount she paid was small, the act was huge. A stranger, whom I had never met, completely changed my attitude with her 19. Maybe next time I see someone having a 20 day, I’11 do the same as her. After all, you never know whose day you might change.

When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful.In those days the sun seemed to shine always brightly1the water was always warm. Sometimes we left the beach and walked in the country,2ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were3in one’s pockets or good places where one could4ice creams. Each day seemed a lifetime.
Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good5is much the same as it was. I6like the sun and warm sand and the sound of waves beating the rocks. I no longer wish to7any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets.8, I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
Sometimes I9what my ideal holiday will be like when I am old. All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about10who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves sick of too many ice creams.

Unchangeable Love
One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting.I was expecting a quiet view of the splendid1.
A young2viewing the paintings ahead of me3nonstop between themselves.I watched them a moment and4 the lady was doing all the talking.I admired the man's5for putting up with her6stream of words.7by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art.Each time I heard her constant flow of words, I moved away8.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a9when the couple approached the10.Before they left, the man11into his pocket and pulled out a white object.He12it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the13to get his wife's jacket.
"He's a14man." the clerk at the counter said."Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age.During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn't change.
So, as before, he and his wife come in15there is a new art show."
"But what does he get out of the art?" I asked."He can't see."
"Can't see! You're16.He sees a lot.More than you and I do," the clerk said."His wife17each painting so he can see it in his head."
I learned something about patience,18and love that day.I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without19 and the courage of a husband who would not20blindness to change his life.And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, hand in hand.
