What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hardwork, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} suggest knowledge, love and luck. If you arrange (排列) the 26 English letters in order and use {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…… 26 for z, you can change an English word {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a number. So hardwork 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, love: 12+15+22+5=54, and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of these words can give one a full mark. What about money? It can't, either.

    Then what else? Don't be worried. You can always find an answer {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a problem in your life, when you change your way of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度). 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 time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and become {#blank#}9{#/blank#} towards others, you'll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, you'll find it's also rewarding(有益的) though it has caused you losses(损失).

    One evening Nasreddin heard a noise in his garden and looked out of the window. A white ox had got into the garden and was eating his vegetables. Nasreddin at once took his{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, ran out and chased the ox, but he was too old to catch it. When he got back to his garden, he found that the ox had ruined(毁坏)most of his precious vegetables.

    The next morning, while he was walking in the street near his house, he saw cart(运货车)with two white oxen which{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the one that had eaten his vegetables very much. He was carrying his stick with him, so he at once began to beat the two oxen with it. As neither of them looked more like the ox that had eaten his vegetables than the other, he beat{#blank#}3{#/blank#}of them equally hard. The owner of the oxen and the cart was drinking coffee in a nearby coffee-house. When he saw what Nasreddin was doing to his animals, he{#blank#}4{#/blank#}out and shouted, "What are you doing? What have those poor animals done to you for you to beat them like that?" "You keep out of this!" Nasreddin shouted back. This is a matter between me and one of these two oxen. He knows very well why I am beating him!"
