Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart , you’ll find that the whole world smiles to you. While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain . Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain , crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided（避免）. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope .
When we face failure , we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have to do. As a popular saying goes , “ Failure is the mother of success .”
Attitude decides everything . With an optimistic(樂觀) attitude life is easy and pleasant . Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us .
【小題1】People sometimes complain____________.

What do you like most when you can get one of such things: freedom, true friends, love, honesty and so on? Here are some choices of students:
Chen Cheng, 14, Jiangsu: I think I need a true friend. I had some friends before. However, it seemed that they didn't treat me well. I told them my secrets but they didn't share theirs with me. What's worse, they told my secrets to others, which made me very unhappy. I hope to find a true lifelong（終身的）friend who can share happiness and sadness with me and keep my secrets.
Gan Xiaoning 14, Heilongjiang: Freedom is what I want most. I am a bird in two cages. In school, I have to follow the school's rules and listen to teachers. At home, my parents don't allow me to do what I like, either. I have to do everything that they tell me to do: study, study and study some more. So, freedom is the only thing I really want!
Yuan Siyu, 15, Guangxi: I am a boy from a poor family. My father works very hard but only makes a little money every month to support the family. I want to go to a key university （重點(diǎn)大學(xué)）so that I can find a good job in the future. Then, I can earn enough money to get my family out of poverty(貧困) and offer my parents a happy life.
Qu Yi, 15, Hebei: I want a complete family. My parents got divorced(離婚) three years ago. Since then, I have had no chance to be together with both of them any more. Now, I am living with my mom and get her love, but I also want my dad's love. I am envious(羨慕) of my classmates who live with their parents. So, I would have a complete family if I could.
