Chris: Well, it all started two years ago when I was planning a trip to India, I visited  a photographic(摄影的) exhibition of elephants and I realized that the only way to travel around India was on an elephant.

Reporter: {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant. I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I asked an expert for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.

Chris: Not too long, I bought a female(母的) elephant called Tara for about USD 6, 000.

Reporter: {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were heading to Sonepur in northern India. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles an hour and Sonepur was more than 1, 200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.

Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better quickly. Also, there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!

    Every child has a dream of what they want to be, right? When Rence Butts was little, her dream was to become a volunteer firewoman because her father was a fireman. Sadly, when she was fourteen, her father died(死)and she was never able to volunteer with him. Rence's story doesn't end there. She was strong and never gave up, at last she became a good firewoman.

    I think she's great. She's always glad to do anything for anyone in need. With 140 people in her station, Rence is one of the only three women. What's more, she is always glad to help others.

    What Rence did helps me believe that I can do anything. I hope someday to be just like her:

    To wake up and help people every day.

    Jeff has a white pet dog. It is very smart. It can buy newspapers for Jeff. Every morning, Jeff puts one dollar into the dog's mouth and it goes to the shop to buy newspapers for Jeff.

    Jeff has a good friend named Mark. Jeff tells Mark about his smart dog. Mark doesn't believe it. Today, Mark comes to see Jeff in the morning. (A)杰夫正在跟他的狗玩耍。Mark says, "I will give your dog money. I don't think it can buy newspapers. "

    "Have a try (试一下), " says Jeff.

    Then Mark puts the money into the dog's mouth and the dog walks out. After one hour, the dog doesn't come back.

    "How much money do you give the dog?" asks Jeff.

    "Five dollars," says Mark.

    (B)"If it has five dollars, it will go to the movies." says Jeff.

    There is half a glass of water on the table. Is the glass half empty or half full? This question can represent a situation where there is both opportunity(机会) and trouble, but people with different point of views see the same situation in different ways. Ask yourself this question and see what kind of person you are.

    If your answer is "half empty", it shows that you tend to look on the dark side of things. You are a negative-thinking person. You are worried about what you don't have or what you have lost more than what you already or still have. In other words, you are a pessimist(悲观主义者).

    If you see the glass as half full, you tend to look on the bright side of things. You are a positive-thinking person. You know you should take the opportunity that comes your way rather than worry about getting into trouble. This is to say, you are an optimist.

    We don't live in a perfect world, but if we can change the way we see things, the things we see will change.
