     How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'11 say," my destiny（命运）. I cannot change it."

     Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other extemal（外部的） factor.

     I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is. She wakes up in the morning, goes to work comes back home. relaxes. chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same

routine cycle follows.

     Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"'? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts for her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her. and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn't realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.

     Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone (unless it contributes to your success), and get your mind and body to work! Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something

 goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.

    If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine?Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit )there, do something to improve your life .

45. According to the woman mentioned in Para3, her life  ________

    A. doesn't need improving            B. couldn’t be improved

    C. will be better some day            D. will be worse in the future

46. What does the author think of the woman's life?

    A. Passive.    B. Positive.         C. Colorful.      D. Boring.

47. Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?

    A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging.

    B. Your luck can be changed by your efforts.

    C. You can only achieve success when God wills it .

    D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.

48. In Para.5, the author emphasized the importance of_______

A. hope for the best      B. intention to succeed
