吉林省吉化第一高级中学2017-2018学年高二上学期英语期末考试试卷
Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives. You might lose your job, fail in your exams or have an illness.Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times.
⒈Have faith.
No matter how bad the situation is, things will turn out to be good in the end. Several years ago I failed to get my master's degree. It was a really bad experience.It was of much better quality than my previous university. Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times.
⒉Be around supportive people.
Going through difficult times is hard, and going through them alone is even harder. You need a group of positive people who can support you.If you don't, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Don't wait until you need it, because it will be too late by then. You need the community before difficult times come.
⒊Help others.
An additional benefit of being in a good community is that it encourages you to think about other people. It pushes you to help others and, therefore, think about other people As a result, your situation won't look as bad as it would be otherwise. Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention. Shifting (移开) some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view.
A. Your community helps a lot.
B. Whatever it is, it's important not to lose hope.
C. I changed my attitude towards failure.
D. In this way you take your focus away from yourself.
E. But I got a scholarship at an overseas university later.
F. You must believe that things will work out well eventually.
G. You should become part of a community that cares for one another.
