How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact,I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see―the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost―having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad,and saw no end to "the hard times".
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms,translated at interviews with immigration of?ficers ,took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule：almost all common troubles even?tually go away！Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up，and just wait a little！I believe that my life will turn out all right,even though it will not be that easy.

Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013, and the US is just 16th. A new study produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer(暗淡的）future than those born in Hong Kong,Ireland and even Canada. The EIU,a sister company of The Economist，attempted to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy，safe and prosperous life in years to come.
People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth，health and trust in public institutions，according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a "quality-of-life" index (指數(shù)）where it is best to be born next year.
One of the most important factors is being rich，but other factors come into play including crime，
trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total，the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography，others that change slowly over time such as demography (人口學(xué)），social and cultural characteristics,and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030, which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies dominate the top 10 countries，with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.
Half of the top 10 countries are European, but only one,the Netherlands,is from the Euro-zone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe, including Greece, Portugal and Spain,lags behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly, the largest European economies ― Germany, France and Britain ― do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable(不值得羨慕的）title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.
