1、 Have you ever complained( 抱 怨 )why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your lessons sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiling to you
一个晴朗的早上,你计划散散步来放松自己。Just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather. But dear friends, why not sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you? And with the timely rain, crops (庄稼)in the field will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest(收获).
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do. Life isn’t a bed of roses, then, it's very common to meet difficulties on the way to success. In fact, difficulty isn't terrible. The real terrible thing is that we are afraid of it. Difficulty is like a spring (弹簧).If you are weak, it will be strong. So when you meet difficulties, don’t give up.相反,你应该微笑着面对困难。Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic(乐观的) attitude, life is easy and pleasant. If you want to be happy, try to remember these five easy rules. Free your heart from hate; Free your mind from worries:
Live an easy life; Give more; Expect less. The quickest way to receive happiness is to smile. The fastest way to lose it is to complain.

The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station.However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music.A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around.John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100
dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price.Therefore, later, many passers-by in the
station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but
cheap music feast.

25、Two years ago, my family moved to a new city and I had to study in a new school. As I had few friends there, I felt lonely. Then I met Tony.

26、 A smile will tell people around you that you are a kind and friendly person. However, many people don’t smile because they think they have ugly teeth. For example, one of my classmates, Mike, doesn’t have very nice teeth, so that is why he seldom opens his mouth. He even says that he has lost confidence because of his teeth. So it is very important for us to look after our teeth. In fact, a lot of people have this problem. Some people inherit teeth problems from their parents, while others’ teeth are damaged because of bad habits, like heavy smoking, eating too much sugar or not brushing teeth often. If your teeth are in bad shape, you should see a dentist and ask for help. They can help improve your teeth and tell you how to take care of them.
Smiling can help you to feel more confidence and make people think of you as a more friendly person. If you want to keep healthy, you should not only smile but also laugh. An Indian doctor called Kataria said that young children should laugh about 30 times a day, while adults should laugh between 7 and 15 times a day. So please take this chance to smile and laugh now.

27、 Los Angeles is known as a driving town. As the Missing Persons’ song goes, “Nobody walks in L.A.” In the city, people are so busy driving to work. Even for the usual shopping, it’s hard to see people walking in the street.
Chuck McCarthy wants to change it! The actor gave up the job of earning money. And he has a new special job now—“people walker”. The idea for the business came when he wanted to make some more money. “I thought about walking dogs at first, but I didn’t want to pick up dog poop(粪便). That’s less interesting.” Many customers need the special service because they are lonely, or they enjoy the feeling of being safe. “My words are full of friendship and warmth, but I can tell you that they are conversations, not one-sided monologue(独白).”
Just walking and talking and knowing that someone is listening can be helpful for most people. They were very pleased with McCarthy’s job because he listened to them. He walks with others for $7 per mile (around 50 yuan per kilometer).
McCarthy is happy to lend his ear to the people of L.A. and listen to what they have to say. He now has his own company that offers this walking service. He has about 35 walkers working for him. Would you like to try this service?
