How can we improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “this is my destiny (命運(yùn)). I cannot change it.”
Certainly not! You don’t have to suffer too much. Your destiny depends on yourself, not on any other factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best. But in fact she hasn’t.
Remember that you get what you pay. You just don’t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a little failure, but use it as feedback (反饋). Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively (積極地), you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in the trouble, do you just hope that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.
小題1:The writer’s attitude towards destiny is that ________.
A．we can change itB．we can’t depend on ourselves
C．we must accept itD．we have to suffer it
小題2:According to the passage, what should you do if something goes wrong?
A．Regard it as a little failure.B．Get your hands off your phone.
C．Sit around and wait for luck.D．Do something to solve the problem.
小題3:The underlined word “turn out” in the passage means ________.
A．翻轉(zhuǎn)B．關(guān)閉
C．變得D．清空
小題4:From the passage, we know ________.
A．we only need to hope for the best in our life.
B．we can get what we pay if we think positively.
C．the woman has tried her best to improve her life.
D．maybe our luck will change if we do something about the life
小題5:What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Understand YourselfB．Improve Your Life
C．Believe in YourselfD．Accept Your Life
