My mother says she probably wouldn’t love butterflies（蝴蝶）today if it weren’t for Mr. Patti.
When my mother Ada was a kid, she loved playing baseball and she wanted to for the New York Yankees. Then her brother Howie pointed out that there weren’t any women playing major league baseball（棒球联赛）. Ada realized he was right. That made her so angry that she started throwing baseballs into the air and hitting them as as she could.
One day Ada hit a ball through Mr. Patti’s window. She was about to run away when a bright yellow butterfly flew through the hole in the window. A blue butterfly . Then a lot of colourful butterflies flew out like a rainbow（彩虹）. Ada to open her arms and catch the butterflies.
It was too bad she didn’t she heard Mr. Patti shouting, “Hey! You there!” Ada almost jumped 12 feet. When she landed, Mr. Patti handed her a net and a box. He pointed to the butterflies. “One hundred butterflies. We need to get them all back. Go!”
Running with the net, Ada began to catch some of the butterflies. By the end of the day, her
was filled with butterflies ― including the bright yellow butterfly. There were still 13 butterflies missing. Mr. Patti showed Ada pictures had taken of the missing butterflies. The photographs were so beautiful that she could hardly catch her breath.
“ do you get them to stay still（静止的，不动的）?” Ada asked.
“I’ll show you,” Mr. Patti replied.
And he did. He taught my mother everything he knew about photographing butterflies. That’s her now. It is good because there still aren’t any women playing in the major leagues.
“I’ll never forget that day,” my mother says. “Breaking that window changed my .” Then she goes into her workroom, which is filled with swirling butterflies.

Have you ever complained (抱怨) why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes dark to you? Are your lessons sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiling to you..
Not long ago, a friend of mine decided to read a lot of books to get knowledge. So he went to the library and happily with several books. But after a few days, he felt bored. The idea of finishing all of the books seemed , because it was for him to sit quietly to read a whole book. He didn’t know what to do. Then one day, he suddenly thought of “Why not make reading fun?” It gave him again. Reading is a journey of spirit(心灵之旅). Every time when we a book, we are actually talking the writer. Since then, he tried to spend more time reading books, so he could feel all of the writer’s happiness and sadness. And reading is boring, but kind of interesting.
Attitude can make a great . Someone once said, “ the situation is bad, people are free to choose their attitude.” So, don’t complain about the situation. It helps . For example, one day the weather is fine. You and your friends want to go for a picnic. Just before you go, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very and start to complain about the weather. But dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you? And with the timely rain, crops(庄稼) in the fields will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest (收成).
Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic (乐观的) attitude, life is easy and happy. Let’s smile to we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
