A positive attitude is very important as it will make our life easier. In life, not everything goes as {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(smooth) as we want. There will be times when we will face problems and difficulties. The most {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(challenge) part is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}we react when we experience problems and difficulties.

    Instead of being discouraged, those who have a positive attitude {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (treat) each failure as a lesson. And they will be inspired to achieve the goal.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}those who do not have the positive attitude will see problems and difficulties {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a different way. With different attitudes, the result will be quite different. Since every one of us {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (possess) the same amount of time, why don't we just make the best {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the same amount of time with a positive attitude? Life itself is already hard. It will be much {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(good) if we have a positive attitude which will make our life happier and easier.

    If you learn to see the bright side of life when you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(surround) by difficulties, you'll be building your positive attitude fast.

    With the new term {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (approach）, Bertha Berger struggled to put on her blue jeans. She stepped on the bathroom scale（秤）. She had never seen such a high number on the little scale, so she decided to change. That day she threw out all the junk food in her fridge and went grocery shopping,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (determine）to lose weight; she bought low, fat versions of all her favorite foods. She had two low - sodium（钠）bacon {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（sandwich）with a diet soda for lunch. The food contained over 1, 200 calories but had very little salt. For dinner she ate two turkey burgers with reduced - fat cheese{#blank#}4{#/blank#}she had received over 2, 000 calories, Bertha felt that she needed a reward. Then for dessert she ate one low- calorie ice - cream sandwich. And {#blank#}5{#/blank#} bed she ate a bag of baked potato chips, which she thought were{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（healthy）than normal chips, even if they had {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (rough) the same amount of calories. She dipped them in low - fat cream cheese. Bertha{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（consume）around 6,500 calories that day, but she felt skinny.

    A teacher gave his {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (pupil) some sunflower seeds to let them learn to look after a plant. One boy in the class, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} loved sunflower seeds, was very excited. He planted the seed and looked after it {#blank#}3{#/blank#} great care for many days.

    When the first shoot (嫩芽) finally appeared, the boy, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(fill) with impatience, went to see his teacher. The teacher said that he would still have to take care of the plant for quite some time {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he was able to collect many seeds from just one sunflower. The boy was{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(disappoint), but he kept {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (look) after his sunflower.

    However, he grew increasingly impatient, and did little else but pester (纠缠) his teacher for wanting to take out the plant. As soon as the boy saw the sunflower's first seeds, he cut the plant. But the plant was still green, and of course the seeds couldn't{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(eat).

    The boy was annoyed. He had put so much effort into {#blank#}9{#/blank#} sunflower, but in the end he wasted it all for his impatience. And he was even{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (angry) when he saw how big his classmates' sunflowers grew. Finally, he decided not to be so impatient any more.
