Several days before my graduation day, my father and I started looking at new cars. Finally, we found the right car. I was sure that my father would give it to me as my graduation gift.

    On my graduation day, my father gave me a book as a gift. It was his old cookbook. I was so angry that I gave it back to him and ran out of the house. Several days later I moved away and started my business. Although I often saw my father during holidays, we never talked about the graduation gift. Then one day, I got a call that my father was ill. I went to see him because I was very worried.

    That night, I looked through my father's books and saw the cookbook that he had given me year before. I carefully opened the cookbook and went through it. Then I found something that made me cry. It was a check(支票)for 30,000 dated(注有日期)the day of my graduation.And the price of the car my father and I chose all those years ago was 30,000.

There was once a King and he wanted to find out who could paint the best picture of peace.And be would offer a prize to the artist. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures,but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.

    One picture was of a calm(平静的) lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white soft clouds. Everyone thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

    The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged(崎岖的) and bare(无遮蔽的). Above was an angry sky. And it was raining and lightening. Down the side of the mountain, a waterfall fell quickly. This did not look peaceful at all.

    But when the King looked carefully, he saw behind the waterfall a bush(矮树丛) growing in a crack(裂缝) in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest(巢,窝). There, she sat on her nest…in perfect peace.

    Which picture do you think won the prize?

    The King chose the second picture. "Because," said the King, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."

(1)What did the King want the artists to do?(no more than 10 words)

  

(2)What did everyone think of the 1st picture?(no more than 7 words)

  

(3)Why did the King choose the 2nd picture? (no more than 11words)  

(4)请将文中画线的句子翻译成汉语.

Many people do not know what to do in face of a decision,big or small.Most decisions aren't life﹣changers.But often,the decision isn't between this or that; it's between acting or not.If this challenges you,here are some tips.

Jog or ride a bike to nowhere.Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar.Walk down every street or path you can find until you lose your way.Then,see where you end up.Remember what it felt like to wonder where you were going?Try to lose yourself more often.It'll make you better at making a decision.

Sit outside without any technology for an hour.Let yourself get bored.Can you hear the birds singing?The wind blowing?Yourself breathing?Try to do this once a week,then every other day,then every day.One of the reasons we find it hard to make better decisions is that we keep getting attracted to new things.A break from the noise will lead you to the decision you need to make.

Do something that scares you.People who have trouble making decisions fear mistakes.Tell someone you love them.Laugh out loud in a public place.Give a speech to a stranger.And when you do this,remember how you feel When you're sacred by a risky situation the next time,tell yourself that you didn't lie.And try to trust the process in the future.

Some of these things may seem silly,but the more you do them,the more you'll control yourself.It doesn't matter where you're going.Just go.Once you start moving,you can always change direction.

Whenever I'm invited to somebody's house for the first time, I'll take a close look at their bookshelves.What they keep on their shelves,in my eyes,is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests.The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.

    My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Watership Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school ﹣ Nineteen Eight﹣Four, The Handmaid's Tale and A Clockwork Orange.

It's late evening in the middle of the winter. The snow is deep, but off I go into the wild.Suddenly, I hear it: the howl(嚎叫) of wolves. Excitedly, I walk faster in the direction of the howling.

    I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year. It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them. Like wolves, however, I don't work alone. I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park.

    Humans have always feared wolves. From fairy tales to movies, the wolf is always the bad guy a danger to humans and other animals. In the 1920s, the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park.As a result,the number of elk(麋鹿) in the park increased. The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves.This, in turn, stopped trees from growing along the rivers, doing great harm to the environment there.

    The return of wolves has already made a big difference. To begin with, the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers, so new trees have been able to grow there. The trees become home to new wildlife, such as birds, and provide food for more animals.

    The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment. It has also helped the local people make more money, Tourists visit the area,stay in the local hotels, and eat in the local restaurants.

    Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me, I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone.And happilyit is playing a good guy in this story

Imagine this. There's an apple and a piece of cake on a table. Which one would you like ?The delicious cake or the healthy apple? A bestseller, Willpower Rediscovering Our Greater Strength ,suggests that willpower(意志力) is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term.

    Here is a famous experiment in the book:The Marshmallow Test.In 1972,Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four﹣year﹣olds to six﹣year﹣olds.In the experiment,each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow(棉花软糖) on a table in front of them.They were given two choices: they could either eat it or,if they waited fifteen minutes,they'd be given a second one (and then they could eat both).

    So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine,70% ate the first marshmallow within the fifteen minutes.But the other 30% showed willpower they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow.But then Mischel discovered something really interesting. Twenty years later, he got in touch with the children, who, by then,were in their early twenties.And he found that those who'd shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular.

    Willpower is like a muscle(肌肉),and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.So,if you do daily "self﹣control exercises",such as making your bed or brushing your teeth,you'll improve your overall willpower. And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon.

    Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your "willpower muscle" can get tired.If you've had to do lots of things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat.

    That way,you'll build up your willpower again.
