     There was a young man named Bill in England. Before leaving school, he began to look for a job.
Few companies needed new clerks due to the financial crisis (金融危機(jī)) at that time. It became harder
and harder to find a job. Luckily, a chance camp up to him. A company wanted to employ (雇用) one
person. He and the other twenty people joined in the first interview (面試). After that, three persons
were allowed to enter the final test which would decide one person to be employed in the end. Bill was
lucky to be among them. On the day of the second interview, Bill and the others arrived at the company
on time. To their surprise, the interview was very easy. The interviewer only had a free talk with them,
and then asked them to go back home waiting for the result. The next morning, Bill received a letter from
the company which said he wasn't accepted. Certainly, he felt disappointed. On the evening of that day,
Bill surprisingly received another letter, which said he was employed. But why was he accepted? As a
matter of fact, the first letter sent to Bill was also part of the test. Every one of them got a letter which
had the same meaning that morning. Only Bill replied with "Thank you" while the others said nothing.
      Life isn't all fun. There is always something making us unhappy. When you feel disappointed, please
say "Thank you" to the person who disappoints you. That shows your great generosity (寬容) and
politeness to others. If you do so, you'll have more chances than others.

Mary feels that she never has enough time to practice her violin and play with her friends. She spends most of her time studying and doing her homework.
     Alice, 14, wants more time for skating and Rick, 15, wishes he had more time to watch TV.
     Morgan, 12, said, " I never have time just to be myself, talk with my friends and write my diary ! "

how to do it. For example, we have to study, sleep, eat and make our houses clean. We want to do things that make us feel relaxed and happy.
     Then we should try to understand how much time each activity will take in a day. After we know that, we can make a plan to help us get through the day without too much hurry.

"Let me laugh at him."
      Then she turned to him and said, "Lie down in the middle of the street, and you'll soon be
sent to a hospital."
      "Please set an example to me, then. "said the man.
