It was only October, but my students were already talking about Christmas plans. As each day passed, everyone became more excited waiting for the final school bell. As soon as everyone heard the , they would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
David was a small boy in old clothes. I had often what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so improperly for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves, But something made David .I can still remember he was always a smile and willing to help, He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He would just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home.
Weeks passed and the over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness(烦躁)until the last day of before the holiday break. I smiled in relief(安慰)as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David standing by my desk.
“I have something for you, " he said and pulled from behind his back a small box, Handing it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it." I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my .I saw nothing. I looked at David"s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it"s .”
"Oh no it isn"t, " said David. "It"s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn"t see or touch unless you know it"s there."
Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning the little empty box set on my desk.

Once upon a time all feelings went to an island for a vacation, and each was having a good time. Suddenly, a warning of a strong storm was announced ,so all rushed to their boats. Yet, Love did not wish to run away quickly. There was so much to do. But as the clouds darkened, Love realized it was time to leave. But there were no boats to spare. Love looked around with hope.
Just then Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love shouted, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can"t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity(虚荣) who was also passing by in a beautiful boat for help, But Vanity said with a cold voice, “No, I can’t take you with me. My boat will get dirty with your mummy feet.”
Sorrow passed by after some time. Again, Love asked for help. But it was useless. “No, I can’t take you with me. I am so sad. I want to be by myself.”
When Happiness passed by a few minutes later, Love again called for help. But Happiness was so happy that it hardly concerned about anyone else.
Love was growing restless and hopeless. Just then somebody called out, “Come, Love, I will take you with me.” Love did not know who was being so kind, but jumped onto the boat happily.
After getting off the boat, Love met Knowledge. Love asked, “Knowledge, do you know who was so kind to give me a lift when no one else wished to help?”

How can we improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “this is my destiny (命运). I cannot change it.”
Certainly not! You don’t have to suffer too much. Your destiny depends on yourself, not on any other factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best. But in fact she hasn’t.
Remember that you get what you pay. You just don’t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a little failure, but use it as feedback (反馈). Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively (积极地), you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in the trouble, do you just hope that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.
小题1:The writer’s attitude towards destiny is that ________.| A．we can change it | B．we can’t depend on ourselves | | C．we must accept it | D．we have to suffer it |
小题2:According to the passage, what should you do if something goes wrong?| A．Regard it as a little failure. | B．Get your hands off your phone. | | C．Sit around and wait for luck. | D．Do something to solve the problem. |
小题3:The underlined word “turn out” in the passage means ________.小题4:From the passage, we know ________.| A．we only need to hope for the best in our life. | | B．we can get what we pay if we think positively. | | C．the woman has tried her best to improve her life. | | D．maybe our luck will change if we do something about the life |
小题5:What would be the best title for this passage?| A．Understand Yourself | B．Improve Your Life | | C．Believe in Yourself | D．Accept Your Life |
