One day while sitting in the boat fishing, I noticed a field mouse on the river bank. He ran out of his  21 , ran around a bit and then ran back. I thought of the  22 of this mouse. His life is spent running around, 23 , following his nose. He runs here, runs there, turns in circles, but never really sees much beyond his  24  . He is trying to  25 his way to successful living, which is finding a little  26 , so that he can carry on for the rest of his life, frightened.
A few minutes later I looked up and noticed an osprey (鱼鹰) 27 high in the sky. This keen-eyed hunter with a  28 view of the river was simply waiting for the best time to catch his food. The  29  creature flew up toward a nest at the top of one of the tallest trees.
It is the osprey not the field mouse that   30 our human potential (潜能). I don’t know about you, but it is   31  for me to decide which creature I want to learn from. I want to   32, to see the big picture, to climb higher, go farther, dive deeper, and  33  more. I want my soul enlarged and my heart inspired. I want to   34 running about following my nose and instead I want to find new strength, fresh   35  , clear vision and courage. I want to be more like the osprey and less like the field mouse, for to live like the field mouse is to ruin my potential.

We do some strange things when we don’t like the way our life is going.Too often we blame(责怪)someone else.‘‘I wish my parents were more understanding.”
“I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!”
“My friends are so boring and self-centered.They make my life worse and worse.’’
Blame! Blame! Blame!
It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song,but the truth is,if you don’t like your life,you should do something about it.No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need.No one can read your mind correctly.You are the only one with the power to cheek your life,and if you want it to be different,you can change what you’re doing.
When you’re in trouble,don’t give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose how you want to think and act.Other people can’t make you unhappy or angry.They only act in their own way and then it’s up to you to decide how you will respond(回应).For example,your friends go out to lunch without you and you feel very angry.How are you going to act? You may blame your friends,“They are not kind.Who needs them anyway?” Or you may tell your friends how you feel,listen to their explanation,and let them know you’d like to be invited next time.
When you decide everything in your own way,you’re getting hold of your own life and shaping(塑造)it according to your tastes and feelings.You can choose to be happy,to make friends and to build an interesting life.When you blame others for what is or isn’t happening in your life,you have stopped growing or learning.
One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct action.The only person you have the right to change is yourself.Once you change,the other person has something different to respond to and change is possible.If you want change in your life,begin with yourself.
小题1:What should we do if we don’t like our life?
A.Change what we’re doing.B.Read our minds correctly.
C.Sing that self-pitying song.D.Tell others what we want.
小题2:If the writer’s friends have dinner together without him,he may _________.

D.forget it and be still friendly with them
小题3:What’s the writer’s idea about how to change others?
A.He thinks it’s impossible to change others.
B.He believes our love can change everything.
C.He chooses to talk with others directly.
D.He prefers to change ourselves first instead.

Smart persons not only learn from their own mistakes—they pay  2 to the mistakes of others, equate error with opportunity, and learn valuable  3 as well, as this story illustrates (说明).
A lion, a fox, and a wild pig went   4  for rabbits together. By the end of the day, they had a large pile of rabbits to   5 .
The lion said to the wild pig, “Pig, you divide the rabbits up among the three of us in a   6  that you think is fair.” The pig divided the rabbits up into three   7   piles, and said to the lion, “There we are. One   8 for each of us. How’s that?” The lion   9  sprang at the wild pig and 10 him.  
Then, the lion threw all the rabbits into one big pile again.
He  11 to the fox. “Well now, Mr. Fox, why don’t you  12 the rabbits between the two of us in a way that you think is fair?”
The fox walked over to the pile of rabbits, took the  13 one for himself, and left the rest in a big pile. “This rabbit is for me, Mr. Lion, and that big pile is for you.” said the fox.
At that point, the lion laughed, “Where did you learn to divide so  14 , Mr. Fox?” And Mr. Fox replied, “The wild pig  15 me.”

A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.
Walking up to a department store’s cloth counter, a(n)  1   young woman said, “I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?”
“Only one   2   per yard,” replied the smirking (自鸣得意的) male clerk.
Not to be taken back by the funny words, the woman said,” That’s fine! I’ll take ten yards.”
With   3  written all over his face, the clerk   4   measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly,  5  forward to receive his “  6  ”.
The woman got the package quickly from the clerk and pointed to a little old man standing beside her. “Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me,” she   7  .
He was no doubt disappointed. But in the course of living, many people are  8         when others do not   9  their expectations. In order to be happy, some expectations must be dropped. These three particular   10   and unhealthy expectations are some of the main causes:
1. Expect too much  11  .When others say, “Thank you,” or in any way to show their gratitude, be happy. It is a gift!
2. Expect others to make you happy. They simply cannot do that. Make yourself happy and       12  your joy with others.
3. Expect not to be  13   . At times, people will simply not come through for you in the way you need.  14   them and move on.
Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more   15        right away!
