What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=" 98," meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," while love: 12+15+22+5="54," and luck: 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer? They can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, which is your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark!
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure, you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
小题1:Some people think it is important to have hard-work, knowledge, _______in their life.
小题2:According to the passage, the mark of the word “money” is _________.
小题3:From the passage, we know it’s possible for you_______if you change your attitude.
小题4:People will meet_______ towards them when they change their manners and become friendly to others.
小题5:The main idea of the passage is that ___________. |
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(牧马场).He has let me use his 36 to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The boy went home and thought about it for a 44 and hard time.He asked his father what he should do.His father said, “Look, son, you have to 45 your own mind on this.Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no 46 at all.He told his teacher “you could keep the F and I 47 keep my dream.
Monty tell me this 48 because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.He said a lot of kids’s 49 can be stole.Don"t let anyone steal your dreams.Follow your heart, no matter what. 50 he had enough gumption(毅力) not to give up my dream.
