I teach economics in a university three times a week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day. I said, “I choose to be cheerful.”
“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “Besides teaching here, I also teach at a college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago, I exited(离去) the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t work. So I put my flashes on, took my books, and walked down the road to the college. As soon as I got there, I called AAA (汽车协会) and asked for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “ Δ .” I replied, smiling.
“Your car breaks down but it is not a bad day. What do you mean?”
“My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t,” I replied. “Instead, it broke down at the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class! If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient way.”
I ended my story. In spite of the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them.
1.The writer of the story is a __________.
A. traffic policeman B. university teacher
C. secretary at AAA D. college student
2.The writer ___________ when his car broke down that day.

3.Which of the following can be put in Δ ?
A. This is my lucky day.
B. There is something wrong with my car.
C. I’m just a little bit late for work.
D. It is wonderful that my car breaks down.
4.We can learn from the story that ___________ .

He was right. We always plan or dream to do something great so that we can change the world. For example, we h2. pollution, so we try to find new energy sources (能源) to keep the environment clean.
