—You ______ it in the wrong place.

Dear Sir，      

       I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route—No.49 and No.16. However, by the time No.16 reaches Souk Road, it's always full.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}The timetable states that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

       The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday, I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}There were 129 of them.

       Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Maximum speed 50mph.”{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Saturday morning a No.49 bus travelled the distance in ten minutes, at an average speed of 60mph. At times it must have done it at least 80 or even 90 mph.

       It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Jeff

A  I counted the other passengers as they got off.

B  Is there anything we can do to change this?

C  The problem is that we can have to pay more for our trip.

D  The distance from Souk Road to the airport is 10 miles.

E  This leaves No.49 which sometimes has empty seats on it.

F  If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?

G  Why is it that half­empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop？

     I used to abandon myself to despair. Last year my mother 1 from astroke (中风) and had anoperation on her brain. I felt my whole world turn upside down and I had no 2what I could do to help her to relieve her 3. Tears welled up in my eyes whenever I was alone.

      Last month I 4 a precious watch,which was an 18­-year-­old birthday gift from my father. I could not fall asleep for a couple of nights because I felt 5about the loss.

There have been many 6 like thesein my life. I could never figure out how to deal with such tough things 7I read "If You Have a Lemon, Make a Lemonade" by American writer Dale Carnegie.

"When the wise man is handed a lemon, he says,‘What 8can I get from this? How can I 9my situation?How can I turn this lemon into a lemonade？'"he wrote.

       I suddenly 10 that life is full ofups and downs, so I need to stay11 all the time. Now when I think of my past, I wish I could have handled things12. When my motherwas fighting for 13 ， I should have held her hands in mine, telling her things would get betterinstead of 14and crying.

       Several weeks ago, I took part in a campus singing competition. I didn't 15 a prize. If I had not 16this article, I would definitely have felt17 again. But instead, I smiled after the competition. I was happy that at least I had got some stage18.

 Life is not just a bed of roses. There are thorns (刺) as well, but these thorns help us become19 and strong. When life 20 us alemon, let's try to make a lemonade.
