One of the most wonderful things about having a positive attitude is that it can touch many people in the course of everyday life.
Recently I stopped by a store to get a newspaper and a bottle of juice. The young woman at the check-out counter said, “That’ll be three dollars in all please.”She then glanced down at the paper I was buying and said, “I’m sick and tired of all the negative material on the front pages. I want to read some good news for a change.”She then said, “In fact, I think someone should publish a Good News newspaper——a paper with wonderful, inspirational stories about people overcoming difficulties and doing good things for others. I’d buy one every day!”She then thanked me for coming in and said, “Maybe we’ll get lucky tomorrow; maybe we’ll get some good news!”We both laughed, and I thought: she just made my day.
The following day after work I dropped by the same store again to pick up bottled water and a newspaper; but a different young lady was behind the counter. As I checked out I said, “Good afternoon”, and handed her my money . she said nothing, and didn’t smile or make a gesture. She just handed me my change and said in a bored voice, “Next!”
It hit me right between the eyes. Two people, the same age; one had made me feel great , while the other had made me feel that I had inconvenienced her by showing up.
The choices we make and attitudes we show influence lives every day in positive or negative ways. So every morning you should ask yourself:“Who do I want to be today—‘The Grouch(不高兴的人)’or ‘The Good News Girl’?”Your answer will go a long way toward determining the quality of your life and that of those around you.

"Let's set a price limit on our gifts this year,"I suggested to my best friend Joanie.
"That's a good idea," Joanie agreed. "How about something over five dollars?"
"How about sixty cents?" I felt like the biggest cheapskate in the world.
"I guess this is where I'm supposed to say it's not the gift but the thought that counts," Joanie smiled.
It is almost impossible to buy anything under sixty cents, so it was really going to have to be very
small gifts with very big thoughts.
Finally, Christmas Day arrived. I gave my mother a candle with a note that said, "You are the brightest
light in my life." She almost cried when she read the note.
I gave my brother a wooden ruler. On the back of it I had painted, "No brother in the world could
measure up to you." He gave me a bag of sugar and wrote on it, "You're my sweet sister."
For Joanie, I painted a pair of shoes with a note that said, "No one could ever fill your shoes. "She
thanked me and said I always tickled (使……高兴) her and made her laugh.
To my other two friends, I gave Annie a paper fan and a note on it, "I'm your biggest fan." I gave
Helen a calculator that cost one dollar and I painted a message on the back, "You can always count
on me."
My mother knows she is the most important person in my life. My brother thinks I'm sweet. Joanie
thinks I'm funny and make her laugh, which is important because her dad moved away last year and she
misses him and is sad sometimes...
B. had little money to buy gifts for others
C. didn't know what gifts her friends would like
D. didn't have enough time to go shopping
B. buys the cheapest skateboards
C. spends as little money as possible
D. buys the cheapest things in the world
B. her mother's life
C. the girl's role in her mother's life
D. the mother's role in the girl's life
B. It is the thought not the gift that matters.
C. How to choose cheap gifts.
D. Giving gifts improves friendships.
