1、Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hateJerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, If I were any better, I would be twins! He was a unique manager because he had sev
2、eral waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing t
3、his style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, I dont get it! You cant be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it? Jerry replied, Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can ch
4、oose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side
5、 of life. I choose the positive side of life. Yeah, right, its not that easy, I protested. Yes, it is, Jerry said. Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose t
6、o be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: Its your choice how you live life. I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Sever
7、al years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe(保险柜), his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off (忘记，遗漏)the combinatio
8、n (开启号码锁的号码组合)。 The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma (创伤，外伤)center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. I saw Jerry about
9、six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, If I were any better, Id be twins. Wanna see my scars(伤疤)? I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have
10、locked the back door, Jerry replied. Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live. 杰里是那种你真想恨一恨的家伙。他是这样一种人-总是心情快乐、情绪高涨，总能说出积极的话来。当别人问他一切可好时，他就回答：”再好我就是双胞胎了！” 认识杰里的时候，我还年轻，是一家餐饮公司的经理。他则是个与众不同的经理，因为到每家餐馆都有一些服务员围着他团团转
11、。服务员围着杰里转是因为他的态度。他天生善于激励人。如果哪个雇员不走运了，杰里就去告诉他要往事情好的一面看。 看到他如此作风我甚感好奇，于是一天我走到杰里跟前问他：”我不明白！你不可能一直保持积极乐观吧。你是怎么做的呢？” 杰里回答说：”每天早上醒来后我对自己说：杰里，今天你有两个选择。你可以选择一个好心情，也可以选择一个坏心情。我选择了好心情。每次坏事发生时，我可以选择成为受害者，也可以选择从中吸取教训。我选择了从中吸取教训。每当有人向我抱怨时，我可以选择听他们抱怨，或者给他们指出生活积极的一面。我选择了指出生活积极的一面。生活就是由许多选择组成的。” 我仔细地考虑着杰里的话。不久后，我离开
12、餐饮公司去追求个人发展。我们失去了联系，但是每当我对生活做抉择而非被动于生活的时候，就常常想起他。 几年之后，我听说杰里做了件在餐饮业里难以想像到的事情：一天早晨，他没关后门，三个持枪匪徒走进来，拿枪指着他。开保险箱的时候，他由于紧张，手从保险锁上滑下来。匪徒紧张之下开枪打穿了他的手，接着又有三枚子弹正中他的腹部。别人打电话叫医生的时候，他躺在地板上奄奄一息。他们赶紧把他送到当地的伤疗中心，经过18个小时的手术和几个星期的悉心护理后，过了一个月，他终于出院了。体内还残留着子弹的碎片。 六个月后我见到了杰里。我问他身体怎样了，他答道：”再好我就是双胞胎了。想不想看看我的伤疤？”我没看他的伤疤，但
13、我问他在抢劫案发生的时候，他脑子里在想些什么。 “我首先想的，”杰里回答，”是我要是把后门锁上就好了。接着躺在地板上的时候，我想到自己有两个选择：我可以选择生，或者选择死。我选择了生。” A new supermarket put on a notice at the entrance. It said, Remember, once a week, one of our customers will get _ 41 goods. This may be your lucky day. All the housewives_42 went to the supermarket wanted

He stood right before me with his head down and said excitedly, “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower, and what a poor sight! The flower was dry and dead. I g
22、ave him a small smile and then turned my eyes away so that he could take his dry flower and go off to play. However, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and said in surprise, “It smells sweet and its beautiful, too. Thats why I picked it. Here, its for you.” The flower before me
23、 was dead. But I knew I must accept it, or he might never leave. So I accepted the flower, and replied, “This is just what I need.” Just then, for the first time I noticed that the boy could not seehe was blind. Tears (眼泪) came down my face as I thanked him for picking the best one. “Youre welcome.”
24、 he smiled, and then ran off to play. I sat there and wondered how he was able to learn about my pain. Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all those years I myself had been blind. I decided to see the beauty in life,
25、and enjoy every second of my life. And then I held that dry flower up to my nose and breathed in the smell of a beautiful rose. The dry flower I sat down to read under an old tree in the park.

And then I held that dry flower up to my nose and breathed in the smell of a beautiful rose. 一束干枯的玫瑰花 我坐在公园
30、里的一颗古树下看书。此时我感觉我的生活充满了绝望，因为我的整个世界都是黑暗的。突然一个小男孩气喘吁吁地向我跑过来，他站在了我的正前方，低下头，激动地对我说：“看看我发现了什么！”在他的手上有一束“鲜花”。多么糟糕的视力呀！这束花都已经是干枯的了。我淡淡的朝他笑了一下，然后将我的视线转向了旁边，这样他就会拿着他的枯花跑去玩去的吧！ 然而，他却挨在我的身边坐下了，把花儿放在他的鼻子边,惊喜说道：“她闻起来很香，也非常漂亮。所以我摘了这朵花。来，送给你！”在我面前的花将近枯死，但是我知道我必须收下她，否则他不会离开的。所以我收下了花，回答说：“这正是我需要的！”就在那时，我发现这个男孩看不见东西他是
31、一个盲人。 丝丝热泪湿润了我的眼眶，感谢他摘到了最好的一束花。“不客气！”他微笑着，然后跑到一旁去玩耍了。我坐在那里，真的很想知道他是怎么明白我的痛苦的。 透过一个盲孩的眼睛，最后我看到了我的问题不是在于这个世界，而是在于我自己。过去的那么多年我一直瞎了眼。我决定要看到生活中的美好之处，享受我生命的每一秒钟。我捧着那束干花，放到我的鼻子边，突然地，我嗅到了新鲜的玫瑰花的芬芳！ At school many things happen to us. We may feel excited when we have success in a school play. We may feel sor
32、ry if we lose an important game. We want to keep the memory for the rest of our lives. How to keep the memory? Our English teacher, Miss Wang, has taught us a good way of remembering thingsto make our own yearbook. What is a yearbook? A yearbook is a kind of book which is used to keep the memory of
33、exciting moments. Its usually made at the end of the year. Last December, we began to make our yearbook. First, we chose the persons who had done something special, then some students interviewed(采访) them, some wrote down their stories, others took photos of them. Everyone in our class had something
34、 to do. Finally our teacher helped us to put the things together. We had our first yearbook. All of us put a lot of love into making the yearbook. It is so wonderful that not only the students but also our parents and teachers will remember the special time for ever在学校我们身上会发生许多事情。当我们在学校比赛成功的时候我们可能会感
35、到兴奋。如果我们输掉了一场很重要的比赛我们也许感到很遗憾。我们想要保存我们生活的每一部分的记忆。 怎么去保存记忆？我们的英语老师王小姐已经告诉了我们一个记忆的好方法去制作一个我们自己的年鉴。什么是年鉴？年鉴就是用来保持记忆的精彩瞬间的一本书。通常它在年末的时候被制作。 去年十二月。我们开始做我们自己的年检。首先。我们选择那些做了一些特别的事的人。然后让一些学生去采访他们，一些学生写下他们的故事。其他学生给他们照相。我们班的每一个人都有事做。最后我们的老师帮助我们把我们所做的事情编辑到一起。就这样我们有了我们第一本年鉴。 在制作年鉴上我们大家都投入了爱与心血。太棒了，不仅是学生，而且我们的家长和老师都将永远记得那些精彩特别的时光。
