22、 I Don’t Have to Be Like Them(保持真我)

All students have to face their own problems when they are growing up. You may not think that having a good family is a problem. But for me , it was. I had to face the problem of being the youngest of the Smith girls.

We live in a small town in Pennsylvania, US. There are three girls in the Smith family, Amanda, Theresa and me . People often say things to me , like “ Oh, the three of you , you’re such nice girls. Your sisters are so pretty and so thin! You’re really nothing like them . ” That made me sad.

At school , all of my teachers had taught my sisters . On the first day of school , they said , “Oh , the youngest of the three! I hope you’re just like your sisters. They’re such wonderful students.”

Theresa had been the editor two years before.

But last year, Amanda went to college（大学） , and Theresa went to high school . Now I’m by myself at junior high . Everyone knows me , because I’m the drum major and the newspaper’s editor .

23、When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon (西瓜) was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.

Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock (码头), swung (摇晃), and legs and got ready for a big meal.

Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d hide our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest. Bernie just smiled and saw us eat it patiently with satisfaction.

Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.

What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.

For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.

Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.

24、   There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung (悬挂) on our necks. A small bag in the front is filled with other people’s faults (缺点), while the big one at the b【1】 is full of our own shortcomings (短处). So it’s easy to find other people’s faults, but it’s h【2】 to see ours behind us.

A boy named Tommy had f【3】 friends: Simon, Jack, Johnny and Harry. He saw other people’s faults very q【4】. When Simon was impatient with him, he said to Simon, “It’s so easy for you to g【5】 angry. It is hard to be friends with you.”

He told his mother about Jack’s dishonesty. “Jack takes my things w【6】 asking. He also forgets to return them.” In fact, Tommy h【7】 wasn’t willing to share his things with anyone.

W【8】 Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said, “You are such a rude person.” He thought Harry acted like that because he c【9】 from a rich family. At last, he had few good friends.

If Tommy turns the bags around, he will find his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity (虚荣), and he is not b【10】 than Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.
