someone else.
"I wish my parents were more understanding."
"I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!"
"My friends are so boring and self-centred. They make my life worse and worse."
Blame! Blame! Blame!
It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song, but the truth is, if you don't like your life, you should do
something about it. No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need. No one can read your
mind correctly. You are the only one with the power(能力) to check your life, and if you want it to be
different, you can change what you're doing. This means asking.. "What do I need? What do I want to
do?" instead of trying to meet others' needs. For example, try to decide how you want to spend your
evening instead of asking somebody else for advice. We teach other people how we want to be treated.
If we don't think of our own needs, no one else will either.
When you're in trouble, don't give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose
how you want to think and act(行动). Other people can't make you unhappy or angry. They only act in
their own way and then it's up to you to decide how you will respond(回应). For example, your friends
go out to lunch withou t you. You feel angry. How are you going to act? You may blame your friends.
"They're not kind. Who needs them anyway?" or you may tell your friends how you feel, listen to their
explanation(解释), and let them know you'd like to be invited next time.
When you decide everything in your own way, you're getting hold of your own life and shaping it
according to your tastes and feelings. You can choose to be happy, to make friends and to build an
interesting life. When you blame others for what is or isn't happening in your life, you have stopped
growing or learning.
One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct action.
The only person you have the right and power to change is yourself. Once you change, the other person
then has something different to respond to and change is possible. If you want change in your life, begin
with yourself...put love into your power to take action.
B．Read our minds correctly.
C．Change what we're doing.
D．Tell others what we want.
B．talk to them and try to find out why
C．do the same thing to them in return
D．ask somebody else to talk to them
B．He believes our love can change everything.
C．He chooses to talk with others directly.
D．He prefers to change ourselves first instead.
B．Four.
C．Five.
D．Six.
"This is quite different from buying oranges in the supermarket," said Christopher. "Every time I eat an orange, I’ll remember this experience."
Christopher was one of the 30 student volunteers at Soil Born Farms. She volunteered as part of a project which was set up in 2009 to help homeowners in South Land Park pick oranges and other fruits out of their backyards. Before, the fruit would rot on the ground or get eaten by animals. Now the fruit is donated to those who need it.
"It is good for many people", said Randy Stannard, who works for the project. "The homeowner gets fruit picked and more people can have healthy food."
"Two harvests (收成 ) were organized in 2009 and volunteers picked 3,000 pounds (1,360kg) of fruit", Stannard said. In 2010, the number was 20,000. This year, Soil Born Farms hopes to get 40,000 pounds. They will harvest every weekend from January to April.
Shannon Galloway, Christopher’s science teacher, brought her students into the project this year.
"You’re making use of a resource that might be wasted," she said. "I think it’s meaningful to everyone."
Donato Frazier, 15, always climbs up a ladder(梯子) and gets on the top of the tree.
"Standing on the treetop is pretty cool," Frazier said. "I can see clearly that many baskets are filled up, and even see that many people are eating healthy fruit because of our volunteer work."
