make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on

would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the
two families on the same afternoon.
At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的)woman said to me, " I

mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It"s my fault
that she died." At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, " If only I hadn"t
insisted on my mother"s going to Florida, she would be alive today.. that long airplane ride, the sudden
change of climate, was more than she could take. It"s my fault that she"s dead."
You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action
they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course-keeping Mother at home, putting off
the operation-would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
There are seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing
need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for
everything that happens that leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist
and where they exist only in our minds.
The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens , especially the bad things
that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believe that
every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.
A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen
in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone
comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him , and when he is wet, people change him.
Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.
B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride
C. They weren"t used to the change in weather.
D. They died due to lack of care by family members
B. he was an official from the community

C. they had neglected the natural course of events
D. they didn"t know things often turn in the opposite direction

believes in a positive future. Both believe in something that has not yet happened. So I ask you, if
neither the positive nor negative future has happened yet then why not choose to believe in the positive
future?
I believe during these challenging times we have a choice between two roads: the positive road
and the negative road. And our bus can"t be on two roads at the same time. So we have to make a
choice and this choice determines our belief about the future and the attitude and actions we bring
to the present.
I"m not saying we shouldn"t have any fear. There are times when fear is a gift. A healthy dose(剂量)
of fear causes us to examine our situation and plan for the future. It moves us to smell the cheese and
expect change. When used wisely it allows us to manage risk and make better decisions. Some fear
is good.
However, what I have observed lately is a supersized, huge dose of fear that is spreading the
hearts and minds of far too many people. This oversized fear is causing leaders and their organizations
to either act unreasonably or to not act at all. They are either hurrying in a million different directions
because of fear. In both cases, fear is leading them to take the negative road to failure.
The answer is the positive road paved (铺满) with faith and a belief that your best days are not
behind you but ahead of you. With this belief you make the right choices and actions today that will
create your positive future tomorrow. You stay calm, focused and committed to your purpose. You
look for ways to save money and cut costs without making unreasonable fear-based decisions that
sacrifice your future success. You identify opportunities in the midst of the challenges and you focus
on solutions instead of problems.
Your faith and belief in a positive future leads to powerful actions today. The future has not
happened yet and you have a say in what it looks like by the way you think and act. Fear or Faith.
The choice is yours.
B. both Fear and Faith trust something in the future
C. neither negative nor positive future will happen
D. people usually choose to believe in the positive future
B. We should choose the positive road
C. We must choose either a positive or negative road
D. Our belief about the future depends on our choice
B. Reasonable fear helps to plan for future.
C. Fear can bring cheese and risk to people.
D. Leaders usually have oversized fear.
B. be committed to saving money
C. stay away from any challenges
D. take powerful actions today
B. Life is full of fear and faith.
C. We should have faith in a positive future.
D. Wrong decisions sacrifice our future success.

are opposite and seem to be unreasonable but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all
good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us to wrong ways.
My ideal(理想的) friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below-he has no
bad likings, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality(节俭). He studies hard so as not to
waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects
his teachers and shares feeling

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth you 9 .You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be 10 up. But you know the future is unpredictable (不可预料) - the

you need to know and understand me. During the past nine years that we have been in America, I have
grown greatly, changed from that wide-eyed and scared little girl to a proud and brave young woman.
The change wasn"t always smooth, and I wasn"t always patient, but you were both always understanding.
And through your understanding I have learned.
I have learned from you. Dad, you wake up every morning to go to the steel plant, where people don"t
speak your language and you don"t speak theirs. I know that if you were in Vietnam, you would be
comfortably surrounded by friends. But you are here in America, doing what you don"t like, and through
that, you are teaching your children the power of persistence.
I have learned from you, Mom, you cook nice Vietnamese sour soup and fish, wait up at nights for
your daughters. When I see you pacing back and forth because your daughters aren"t home yet, I cry
because I see so much pain in your eyes, and through your pain I learn the meaning of home a sanctuary
that I will always be able to turn to.
Through all your sacrifices I learn the essence of being human. I learn to love. I find that this love leads
me to you, to the home, to the fact that I am Vietnamese-American. The dreams that you have taught me
slowly begin to take shape as I walk down the college path, step into the adult world and adventure out
of your world. Wherever I go, I carry my past with me, knowing that you will always be there behind me
and I will always come back, because you are where my home is.

C. a place full of laughter

B. she hates the USA because of the suffering she has got there
C. she blames the USA for the pain it brings to them
D. she is curious about the American way of life
