For many years I had a good life. My illness was reasonably (适度的) under control, I had a nice relationship with my husband, I did work, I didn't hate. It was, as I said, a good life.
But there's a saying that the good is the enemy of the best. I finally realized this one day, and began making my best life. I changed doctors and tried a new way that could relieve(减轻) my symptoms (症状) , rather than just making them easier to deal with. I started talking more with my husband and listening to what he had to say. And I quit(辞掉) my job and started working for myself.
I have the best life I've ever had. I'd call it great. It is possible there's a better life for me, which would then be my "best life" , but for now I don't think so. I've started a business I love. My husband and kids are wonderful. I have a good friend and I'm close to my older sister who lives in town. Could it get better? I suppose so. But for me I think this is the best life I can have right now.
Think more about your life. Where are you living? Are you in a job you just don't mind? What makes your life "good" ? Why isn't it great? What's the enemy of the best and what can you do about it?
Enjoy your best life. We're only here for a short while, and we all need to have the best possible time we can. It's like going to Disney World. If you spend too much time standing in line waiting for the ride, pretty soon your time's up. Get out of the "good" line and have your best life.Which of the following is NOT included in the writer's "good life" ?
| A．Having a job. | B．Having no hate. |
| C．Getting on well with her husband. | D．Living close to her good friend. |
The writer quit her job because she________.
| A．was ill | B．didn't like working |
| C．wanted to go for her best life | D．wanted to enjoy her good life |
What did the writer do to make her best life?
①She visited other doctors.
②She started a business she loved.
③She played more with her kids.
④She talked more with her husband.
⑤She spent much time in Disney World.
| A．①②④ | B．②③④ | C．①③⑤ | D．①②⑤ |
What's the enemy of the best?
| A．Illness. | B．A good job. | C．Being proud. | D．Being satisfied. |
What is the best title for the article?
| A．Attitude to Life | B．Making Your Best Life |
| C．What Makes Your Life "Good" | D．A New Way to Treat the Illness |
Dear Grace,
How are you? Thank you for your last e-mail. You want to know about my school clubs, right ? Well, it’s time for us to join the school clubs now. There are many clubs in my school, like the English club, the art club, the music club and the sports club. I have two good friends, Jack and Lisa. We all want to join the school clubs.
I want to join the music club, because I can play the guitar. I can’t speak English well, but I also want to join the English club.
Jack likes sports. He can play soccer and basketball. He is in the school soccer team(队). He wants to join the sports club. He can play the guitar, too. But he doesn’t want to join the music club.
