阅读理解

    One day, the employees of a company retuned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said," Yesterday, the person who had stood in your way to success passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the hall."

    At first, everyone was sad to hear that one of their workmates had died, but after a while, they sated feeling curious about who this person might be. The excitement grew as they arrived at the hall to pay their last respect. Everyone wondered. "Who is this person that was in my way? Well, at least he's no longer here!"

    One by one, the employees got closer to the coffin. When they looked inside it, they were speechless. They stood by the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.

    There was a mirror inside the coffin. Everyone who looked inside it could see himself or herself. There was also a sign next to the mirror hat said," There is only one person who can stop you from succeeding: it is YOURSELF."

    You are the only person who can change your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.

    Your life does not change when your family changes, when your friends change, when your boss changes, and your company changes. Your life changes when you change, and when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

Nadia Clarke, Seventeen-year-old,talks about her African experience.

Last summer I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one year left at school, and I was interested in studying medicine at university. I thought it was the perfect chance to get some experience and to see if I really wanted to be a doctor.

It was a month that changed my life. I saw a world and it is very different to mine in so many ways. I was surprised at how poor so many of the families were there and how difficult their lives could be. But I was also surprised at how actively people face their everyday lives. The way they came together and helped each other touched me a lot, and I think a lot of us here in the UK have forgotten it. I think many of us don't get to know how lucky we are.

My work in the hospital was hard. I spent a lot of time cleaning floors and taking temperatures, and I also got to spend some time giving medicine. And I got the chance to talk to some doctors and ask them about their work. I saw some truly awful things in the hospital, but none of them changed my mind about being a doctor. In fact, they only made me more certain to do medicine!

When I finish, I know clearly what I'm going to do: I want to work for an international group like the Red Cross and spend my life helping people all over the world. I can't wait to get started.
