A few years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. It was the most difficult time I have ever faced. I think it was my sense of humor that allowed me to hold on my sanity. Like many people who have gone through chemotherapy. I lost all of my hair and I was bald as a golf ball. I had always enjoyed wearing hats, so I ordered several special hats with the hair already attached. It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked.
I have always been a big golf fan. At one point during my cancer treatments, my husband John and I decided to get away from the cold Minnesota winter and take a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona. There was a senior PGA Tour event called The Tradition being played, which seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.
The first day of the tournament brought out a huge crowd. It was a beautiful day, and I was in heaven. I was standing and watching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee box: Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd and Tom Weiskoph. Just as they arrived at the tee box, the unimaginable happened. A huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairway! The thousands of spectators lining the fairway fell into an awkward silence, all eyes fixed on me. Even my golf idols were watching me, as my hair was right in their flight path. I was mortified! I knew I couldn’t just stand there. Someone had to do something to get things moving again. So I took a deep breath and went out into the middle of the fairway. I grabbed my hat and hair, nestled them back on my head as best I could. Then I turned to the golfers and loudly announced: “Gentlemen, the wind is blowing from left to right.”
They said the laughter could be heard all the way to the nineteenth hole.

Some cases have been reported in Russia lately of people who can read and detect colors with their fingers, and even see through solid doors and walls. One case is concerning an eleven-year-old girl, who has normal vision but who can also become aware of things with different parts of her skin, and through solid walls. This ability was first noticed by her father. One day she came into his office and happened to put her hands on the door of a locked safe. Suddenly she asked her father why he kept so many newspapers locked away there., and even described the way they were done up in bundles.
Her talent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute and she was given a series of tests. During these tests she was able to read a newspaper through a screen which was not transparent and strange still, by moving her elbow over a game of Lotto she was able to describe the figures and colors printed on it; in another instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colors of a picture hidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shoulders had a similar sensitivity. During all these tests she was blindfolded; and indeed, except when blindfold she lacked the ability to see things with her skin, It was also found that although she could perceive things with her fingers this ability ceased the moment her hands were wet.

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, “You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed in ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose the adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident．He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a stick, and then have a go at everything. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”
The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won. Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.

   D. People’s attitude to adversity is the only factor of their success.

  A. Failure is the mother of success．    	    B. A bad workman quarrels with his tools.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
    Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work.  36 _ What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen.

A famous saying goes that: “Interest is the best teacher.” This new system is a good way to inspire students’ study enthusiasm because students have the chance to choose the lessons and the teachers according to their own interest. Since students have to think about it carefully before they choose the lessons, this system can also improve the ability of making decisions.
On the other hand, there are, however, some disadvantages lying in this new system. For one thing, students may feel embarrassed when they talk with classmates they are not very familiar with because classrooms and classmates are all unfixed. For another thing, during breaks, students have to find the classroom where they will have the next class. Does it mean that students have less time to relax?
In all, this is totally a new idea. We might as well have a try and we will see if it is suitable for students or not.
