I have read plenty of articles about self﹣improvement these past few months， and most of them tell you that you need to wake up and keep positive（积极的）． When you wake up， you need to think that something great is going to happen today， and that you are going to have a great day． This kind of positive attitude（态度） is supposed to change your whole day．
So this morning I woke up and decided to give it a whirl． The sun was shining brightly through my bedroom window， and it immediately gave me this warm feeling inside． I thought to myself， "Today is going to be a great day． One of the best days ever!" I got out of bed， took my morning shower and began to get dressed． I put on a pair of dress pants I have not warned in a while， followed by my dress shirt and that is when it began． I reached into my left pocket and pulled out what felt like some paper．
You know that feeling of finding a 20 bill in your pants and it feels like free money？Because you forgot all about it and thought you never did？
I pulled out a 100 bill and a 50 bill in the same pocket．It seemed like the best thing that had happened to me these days．Yes，150 starts off my day! I'm sure if someone could have seen the smile on my face， they would have understood， I shouted in joy， with my poor dog looking at me like I was crazy!
Start your morning off thinking you are going to have the best day ever and you just might! I really want to know what will happen next．

“Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!”
That’s an old joke in the West, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shaanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.
When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change. Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road. Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same. Just like chickens, they didn’t mind the honking horns (喇叭声) and kept crossing the road in a mess.
Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai. And at least one third of them were jaywalking (乱穿马路). Jaywalking is very common in Shanghai. It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves.
Traffic laws are to keep people safe. So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits. When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him. That way we can avoid the traffic accidents.
