Passage A
话题：成长教育 词数：277 参考用时： 8 分钟
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that a positive heart
brought man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why _1_ has such a
big influence on a person. And now, although I’m just a middle school student,
I’d like to _2_ my own opinions on this saying.
Once I read a sentence— “To make this world a _3__ place to live in,
rather than the whole world, you’d better change your _4_.” It made me lost
in thought. There are so many things around us that go _5_ our will. We can’t
force life to follow our wishes. The earth won’t _6__ turning whether we
accept it or not.
What we can do is just to make ourselves suit the world. I think we should
learn to _7_ welcome whatever life gives us, the spring sunlight or the winter
snowfall, and try to get _8_ from it.
I have tried to catch every pleasant thing in my life, but I _9_ catch most
of the pleasant moments, such as being hugged by mother when in fear, being 10_
by the teacher when in trouble, being helped by a stranger when _11_. I realize
that I don’t just live alone and that there are others around me I should
_12_. They all pay attention to my growing up, and are proud of my achievements
_13_ it is just a little progress. It is their care and love that _14_ remind
me I live in a warm and happy world.
Different people may have different __15_ towards life. But there is one
rule should be followed and that is to make the world better.
