A businessman sent his son to learn the secret of happiness from the wisest man. The boy walked through the desert for forty days      he reached a beautiful castle at the top of a mountain where the Sage (圣人) lived.
When he      a room, he saw lots of strange views: businessmen coming and going, a small music group      sweet music, and all kinds of delicious dishes on a large table.
The Sage      everyone. The young man had to wait for two hours until it was his     .
        enough patience, the Sage listened to the boy, but he was too      to explain to him the secret of happiness.      he suggested that the boy would walk around his palace and come back in two hours.
“However,” he added, handing the boy a teaspoon with two drops of oil in it, “while you walk,      this spoon and don’t let the oil spill.”
The boy began to walk around the palace,      keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. At last he returned to the Sage.
“So,” asked the Sage, “did you notice anything amazing in my palace?”     , the boy said that he had seen nothing. He was only concentrating on the     .
“OK. Now go back and see the wonders of my world,” said the Sage. Now more     , the boy took the spoon and walked again through the palace. Returning to the Sage, he exactly reported all      he had seen.
“But where is the oil?” asked the Sage. Looking down at the spoon, the boy realized that he had spilled it all.
“Well, the secret of happiness lies in looking at all the wonders of the world and never      the two drops of oil in the spoon,” the Sage said with a smile. They were both important. Then the boy realized what happiness was.

Years ago I worked at a factory in a small county. Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night. I was so tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine:
"A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost un-bearable, 125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly, and there was sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation (不顧一切地) she wrote her parents in Ohio that she couldn't stand it another minute and was coming home.
Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father——just two lines:
"Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw stars."
The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思維) but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post.
She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and eventually wrote a book about it.
The desert hadn't changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart  to the words her father sent, a whole new world opened up to her.
A change of attitude could change everything.
After reading the article, I was deep in thought (陷入沉思)…

If your worry is about a fight you had, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.

Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana.  Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests.  They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.
Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem.  Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute!  As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America.  They paid $25 per acre.  The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.
So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river.  They saw alligators and crocodiles.  In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest.  “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest.  They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at e us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.
Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture.  During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities.  They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.
Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.
小題1:How much did Myers’ students pay for the rain forest they bought?
A．$25B．$75C．$80D．$2000
