One day, I went to see my last patients(病人), an old woman. In the doorway, I saw she was struggling(挣扎) to put socks on her swollen(浮肿) feet in the bed. I stepped in, spoke quickly to the nurse, read her chart noting. I was almost in the clear that she was not in serious condition.
I asked, “Could I help put on your socks? How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they’re better today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your son. He’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have a family visit. I think you really look forward to seeing him. ”
“Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not yours,” she said with a serious voice.
I was surprised as I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that was the main cause of her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are simple. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others don’t have clear ends. Some are true; others are not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is hear—without interruption(打断) or judgment(评价).
It was that woman who taught me the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not longer after, in an unexpected accident, I became a patient. 20 years later, I sit all the time—in a wheelchair.
For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair. I believe in the power of listening.

Finally,there is no more time left for adding new stories,and the time for printing (印刷) the newspaper has come.This is done on fast-moving printing machines.The newspapers are then delivered (发送) by truck,plane or rail.Speed is important.People want to buy the latest newspaper; nobody wants to buy yesterdayCs.

In fact, at the time they seemed to be ordinary events, but now everything seems different. I had spent 10 years away from the place where I was born. Even though I made the decision to leave my country by myself, I miss a lot of things now. The person that brought me the happiest memories is my best friend. She is the greatest person in the world, and I am not exaggerating(吹嘘). She is kind, funny,polite,and always willing to listen,and has been a great friend. I always recall(回想)events from our childhood. I think about the school where we met in the first grade and went on until the 5^th grade. I think about the talks we had and the things we did together. If someone wants me to describe our friendship, I’d say we have been close friends for 17 years and we never got angry with each other. It’s  amazing, isn’t it? I haven’t been able to do that with anybody else. Sometimes I even feel guilty(有罪的). I miss her more than my own brothers and sisters.  And of course besides those memories, my kids are number one in my life. I have plenty of beautiful memories with them, especially when they were born, which also turned out to be a sad moment for both of them, because they were premature babies(早产儿). Anyone, who has had an experience with a premature baby, can figure out what I mean.

          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.
         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.          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 well have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure(失败)can’t be avoided.     
And the terrible thing is that we ate afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident of ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”
           With an optimistic(乐观的)attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile to what-ever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
