She opened an office with a few friends and coordinated (協(xié)調(diào))a program to help the orphans. All the registrations were done in the office and the program so far has 8000 children. Sister Wanjala said, “My dream is to help the orphan to live a holistic (完整)life and be a good Kenyan citizen to help this country.

When they come first or second in class, it shows how the program has helped them, and that’s encouraging to me as I continue to coordinate the program.” Through her charity work, more than 1000 orphans have been able to find a home.

Whether you are young or young at heart, it is never too late to change, or take in some new and better practices into your daily life. Here are some wise lessons that I wish I knew when I was younger.
I used to be worried about what others thought of me. Finally, I changed. Remember that if you're wasting too much time looking for respect(尊重) from others, then you will not have time to finish all you desire(期望).Everyone has an opinion, but in fact others' opinions about you are based more on their history and perceptions(觀念) than anything you're actually doing. So depend on your own assessment(評估) of you rather than others'.
Enjoy every moment of today. Don't wait to do or enjoy anything. Don't tell yourself you will do it tomorrow. If it is important to you, then do it today. Pay attention to what is happening now, the task at hand and all the choices you make today, big and small. Our future is set by what we decide and do today.
What happened yesterday is over. You can not change it. So let it go. Don't waste your energy considering anger or unhappiness. It only stops you from moving forward in life.
Look for the good in people. Celebrate the happy moments, big and small. Search for the chances for growth. Give helpful encouragement rather than unwanted criticism (批評). Be helpful whenever possible.
In a word, life is serious but you can still be delighted and hopeful. Otherwise, what's the point?
（1）We shouldn't worry too much about what others think of us because ________.
A.our own assessment is enough
B.their opinions about us may be wrong
C.we are improving ourselves every day
D.we don't always need other people's help
（2）What should we do in the author's opinion?
A.Never forget our hard times.
B.Change our lifestyles regularly.
C.Never look for respect from others.
D.Always complete important work in time.
（3）Whom is the text most probably written by?
A.A clever child.
B.A middle school student.
C.An expert on human relationships.
D.An old man with rich experience of life.
