There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. In fact, she loved nobody except her boyfriend, for he was always ready to help her. She used to tell her boyfriend, "If I could see the world, I would marry you."

One day, someone gave away a pair of eyes to her. When the bandage came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend, for the first time. He asked her, "Now that you see the world, will you marry me?" The girl looked at her boyfriend and was greatly surprised to see that he was blind. She had never expected that. She would not like to be with a blind husband for the rest of her life. She refused to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and a few days later wrote a note to her, saying, "My dear, take care of your eyes. Before they are yours, they were mine."

This is how the human brain often works when our status (地位) changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before. And we often ask for more than we need. Life is a gift. Today, before you complain (抱怨) about the taste of your food, think of someone who has nothing to eat. Before you complain about life, think of someone who lost his life early. Before you complain about your old house, think of the people who are living on the streets. And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of those who have no jobs.

So enjoy what you have and don't forget your past.

1.The blind girl loved everybody except her boyfriend because he was never helping her.

2.The reason why she didn't feel like marrying her boyfriend after she could see everything was that he was blind at that time.

3.From the passage, we know that in order to let the girl see the world, her boyfriend gave away his eyes to her.

4.A great number of people remember what life was like before in our daily life.

5.From the story, we realize that we should value what we have and never forget the past.

Four of my friends and I gathered at our favorite restaurant for Anna’s birthday. We were all having a good time when suddenly Julia said, “Hey! Let’s go to ___________house and party on!”
