What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.

If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically（按字母表的顺序）and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c… you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give us a full mark. What about money or prayer（祈祷）? They can’t, either.

Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.

Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.

When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure, you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.

1.How can we solve a problem in our life according to the writer?

A. Change the way how we look at things. B. Have different attitudes.

C. Study math. D. Learn from others.

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. None of the words in English can give us a full mark.

B. Failure can also be rewarding.

C. The word “hard-work” has the highest mark.

D. Nobody thinks attitude is the most important.

3.It is possible that you will have a change for the better if you _______________.

A. can work out the mark of every word B. have hard-work, knowledge, money and luck

C. are friendly to others D. have a more positive attitude

4.If we use numbers to represent “money” according to the text, what mark can we get?

A. 70 B. 71 C. 72 D. 73

5.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Failures lead to success. B. People hope for a better life.

C. Your life will be changed if you change your attitude. D. Knowledge is power.

The most beautiful heart in the world. A large crowd got together, and they all thought his heart was perfect. Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Why? Your heart is not as beautiful as mine.” The old man’s heart was full of scars（伤疤）. Some pieces of his heart were removed and some pieces from other people were put in, but they didn’t fit quite right. So there were several jagged（锯齿状的) ）edges（边）. In fact, there were still some holes in his heart where the pieces were missing.

The young man laughed, “Comparing yours with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess.” “Yes,” said the old man. “But, every scar shows that I took out a piece of my heart and gave it to a person, and often he gave me a piece of his heart in return.” “Why do you have some jagged edges in your heart?” asked the young man. “Because the shapes of the pieces weren’t the same.” “Then the holes?” “Sometimes I gave pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn’t given back a piece of his, so… but I don’t care.” “How come?” “They remind me of the love we shared.”

The young man was deeply moved. He walked up to the old man, took a piece of his heart out and gave it to the old man. The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound（伤口）in the young man’s heart. It fitted, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect any more but more beautiful than ever. How sad it must be to go through life with a whole untouched heart!

The key to getting any good-priced air ticket is to book the flight early. The price of discounted（打折的）air ticket will rise with the number of passengers. 1.Most major domestic（国内的）airlines offer discount tickets for off-peak（淡季）travel. 2. Air China and Beijing Capital Airlines offer tickets with as much as 75 to 80 percent discount.

Another way is to search for a cheap ticket on the websites of low-cost airlines,　 3.Now, Air Asia, Tiger Airways and Jetstar Asia are all offering very cheap tickets to Chinese travelers. In this way, they can fly to many overseas places at a good price. The low-cost airline has a long history in the West. It’s also called a no-frills（不提供不必要服务）flight for doing away with traditional free services, such as food and drinks. 4., so it’s wiser to take hand luggage. Like airline tickets, 5. the earlier, the cheaper. It’s a great idea to look for YHA (Youth Hostels Association) backpackers, or Bed & Breakfast deals online.
