江苏省徐州市区2018-2019学年八年级下学期英语期末考试试卷（含听力音频）
I once worked as a volunteer in a nursing home. One day, a 90-year-old lady moved into the nursing home. Although she was nearly homeless, her hair and clothes looked very nice. Her husband died recently, so she had to move out of her old house. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when I told her that her room was ready. In the lift, I began to describe her room, including the old sheets hung on her window.
"I love it," She smiled with the excitement of an eight-year-old who has just been given a new toy.
"But you haven't seen the room. Just wait."
"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on the furniture. It's how I arrange(安排）my mind. I already decided to love it. It's a decision(决心) I make every morning when I wake up. I have two choices: I can spend the day in bed complaining about the parts of my body that hardly work, or get out of bed and thank the ones that still do."
If you want to be happy, please remember these five simple rules: free your heart from hate; free your mind from worries; live simply; give more; expect less. Then your happiness will increase every day.
