positive to say.
One day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don"t get it. You can"t be positive all the time. How do you do it?" Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself "Mike, you have two choices
today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood." I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I
choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining (抱怨), I can choose to accept
their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
I often thought about that when I made a choice about life. Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communication tower. After l8 hours of operation, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I asked him what
had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael
replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could
choose to die. In the operation room, I told the doctors and nurses, "I"m choosing to live. Operate on me
as if I am alive, not dead"."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
B. people would easily get tired of
C. people would envy for his positive life attitude
D. people wouldn"t take seriously
B. learn from it
C. complain about it
D. ignore the negative side of it
B. most people can"t lead a positive life at any time
C. only Michael can be so positive
D. the author is always a sad person
on a wooden beam below the rooftop, hoping a future relative might discover it.
With that beam and everything else inside the home destroyed in the firestorm that has struck
southern California this week, the 55-year-old electric company worker is promising to rebuild on
the same hilltop overlooking nearby farms and mountain-tops.
Such scenes of pain and hope for the future are taking place across southern California, where
officialsare gradually lifting evacuation orders to allow residents back into areas damaged by some
of the worst fires in the state"s history. Officials say the fires destroyed more than 2,000 homes,
often with such fierceness that little remained.
As a "troubleman" or repair worker for the San Diego Gas & Electric Company, Necochea had
already seen his destroyed home on Monday, but returned on Thursday and mused(沉思) philosophically
on the nature of life and loss.
"I was so shocked," he said as he looked across what had once been a 4,600 square foot,
three-bedroom home with a swimming pool in an area where the sounds of cows, coyotes and birds,
not the din of modernity, are the soundtrack of daily life. "It was just a burning heap of ash. It was a
horrible feeling; I don"t wish that on anyone."
B. made residents there suffer a lot
C. was set by somone on purpose
D. made local officials upset
B. On Tuesday.
C. On Wednesday.
D. On Thursday.
B. calm
C. optimistic
D. excited

ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as
they said goodbye to each for ever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset
for him.
The next morning he said to the men, "Have you provided me with that sunset?"
"No, sir," the men answered.
The director was angry, "Why not?" he asked.
"Well, sir," one of the men answered, "we are on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west.
We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset."
"But I want a sunset!" the director shouted. "Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast,
and get one"
But then a young secretary had an idea. "Why don"t you photograph a sunrise?" she suggested, "
and then play it backwards? Then it"ll look like a sunset."
"That"s a good idea!" the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, "Tomorrow
morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea."
The camera crew were out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the
middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o"clock they took it to the director. "Her it is, sir." They said, and
gave it to him. He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio. " All right," the director explained, "now our hero and heroine are going
to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the "sunset" behind them."
The "sunset" began, but after a quarter of minute, the director suddenly put his face in the hands and
shouted to the camera crew to stop.
The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.
