What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.

If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically（按字母表的順序）and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck : 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer（祈禱）? They can’t , either.

Then what else? Don’t be worried． You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude（態(tài)度）.Yes, attitude is the word． See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.

Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.

When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive（積極地）attitude towards failure（失敗）,you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.

1．In the writer’s opinion, what is the most important things in a person’s life?

    A．Hard-work.             B．Knowledge.            C．Money.          D．Attitude.

2．According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to ___________.

    A．ask for help from others                      B．say your prayers to God

3．From the passage we can learn that ______________.

    A．different attitudes come from different courses of life.

    B．mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life

    C．failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude

    D．none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or more

Many years before the United States was founded（建立）, Americans had already invented barbecues. But the first barbecues, in fact ,were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames（架子）of sticks over fires. Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues.

One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary, “Fair and hot ; Browne; hack overset.” That is , on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attedn a barbecue, and his carriage（馬車）fell over. It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time. Large animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbours would be invited to dinner.

In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a pit （坑）for fuels（燃料） such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep. Today , the barbecue grills（燒烤架）which are fueled by charcoal（木炭） or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move , and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or friends over.

    D．heating meat in the bright and hot daylight

On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged, rich white South American lady found herself sitting next to a black man. She called the cabin stewardess（機艙乘務(wù)員）over to complain about her seating.

“What seems to be the problem, Madam?” asked the stewardess.

“Can’t you see?” she said． “You’ve sat me next to a black man. I can’t possibly sit next to this kind of human. Find me another seat!”

“Please calm down, Madam,” the stewardess replied． “The flight is very full today, but I’ll tell you what I’ll do---I

Will go and check to see if we have any free seats in Club（商務(wù)艙）or First Class.”

The lady had an unfriendly look at the outraged（被激怒的）black man beside her.

A few minutes later the stewardess returned and said to the lady with a self –satisfied smile, “I’m sorry, Madam, this Economy（經(jīng)濟艙）is full, and Club is also full. However, we do have one seat in First Class.”

The lady could not help looking at the people around her. But before she had a chance to get up or make any answer, the stewardess continued , “ We seldom make this kind of upgrade（升級）,however, and I had to report it to the captain（機長）.When the captain heard this, he said that it was not proper to make someone sit next to such an obnoxious（令人討厭的）person.” Having said that, the stewardess turned to the black man sitting next to the lady, and said, “So if you’d like to get your things, sir, I have a seat ready for you…”

At this time, the people around stood up and clapped their hands. The black man walked up to the front of the plane.

That was an unforgettable flight for me, for I was the black man who had never flown First Class before.
