I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago. Her husband died because of traffic accident. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insights with us.
The class was clearly over. She said,＂Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you an important thought.” “Each of us is on Earth to learn, share, love and *appreciate. We must *cherish every single day.”
Her eyes beginning to water, she went on, “So I would like you to make me a *promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful. It could be a *scent----perhaps of freshly baked bread, or it could be the sound of the *breeze slightly *rustling the leaves in the trees.”
“Please look for these things, and cherish them. For, although it may sound * trite, these things are the *stuff of life. They are the little things on Earth to enjoy. They are the things we often take for *granted. We must try to notice them because it can be easily taken away at any time.”
The class was completely quiet. We picked up our books and went out of the room silently. That afternoon I noticed more things on my way from school than I had that whole semester.
I often think of that teacher and try to appreciate all off those things that sometimes we *overlook.
Take notice of something special you see on your lunch time today. Walk *barefoot along the beach at *sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we regret, but the things we didn’t do.

Everyone has got two personalities (性格) — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don"t show your secret personality when you"re awake because you can control yourself, but when you"re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you"re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don"t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You"re quite shy and you aren"t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you"re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You"re shy and you don"t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You"re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don"t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry
小题1:When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?| A．In the daytime. | B．At the beginning of sleep. | | C．At night. | D．During the deep sleep. |
小题2:Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep _____.| A．on curled up | B．on her stomach | C．on her back | D．on her side |

One morning, a blind* boy sat in front of a building with a hat by his feet .He held a sign* which said,“I am blind. Please help me. There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat .He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps* and ask,“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”
The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”
What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty* of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is: Treasure*what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.
小题1:On the sign what the man wrote was,“_______.”| A．Treasure what we have already had. | | B．Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it. | | C．We are so lucky that we are not blind. | | D．Try your best to help those who need your help. |

小题4:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?| A．The hat began to fill up after the man wrote some words on the sign. | | B．The man took away all the few coins from the hat. | | C．The boy wanted to get enough money to go to school. | | D．Nobody wanted to give any coins to the blind boy. |
