When you were in the village，the air in the country was clean and you watched the beautiful stars at night．However，it has been raining since you left the village．"You are a lucky dog!"If you heard of that，don't be angry．It doesn't mean"You are a dog．"Your friend just wants to tell you，"You are so lucky!"

Americans use many expressions with the word"dog"．People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well．They take their dogs for walks，let their dogs play outside with them and give their dogs good food and medical care．However，dogs without owners'care lead a different kind of life．The expression，to lead a dog's life，describes a person who has an unhappy life．

Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather．The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year．A rainstorm may cool the weather．But they do not want it to rain too hard．They want it to rain cats and dogs．

If many people are competing for the same things，like good jobs．They will say，"We live in a dog﹣eat﹣dog world，"If they say a person has to work like a dog，it means he has to work very，very hard．Such hard work can make people dog tired．And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog．

However，not all dogs are compared to people in good ways．Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways．People who are not kind can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog．Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want．Mean dogs are often used to guard this property．They bark or attack people who try to enter the property．However，sometimes a person who appears to be meanand frightening is really not so bad．We say his bark is worse than his bite．

We live in a dog﹣eat﹣dog world，so we have to work like a dog．But never be mean dogs．When you fail，don't give up．I believe every dog has its day．

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 (按字母表的顺序) 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 (祈祷)？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 (态度). 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 become friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure (失败), you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
(   ) 7. According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to ____.
A. ask others for help                   B. say your prayers to God
C. change your attitude                 D. try maths solving methods
(   ) 8. The underlined word “positive” means ____________.
A. 积极的         B.消极的          C. 极端的       D. 无所谓的
(   ) 9. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A.different attitude 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.
