A
I was living in Yorkaround twenty years ago.Though I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find satisfying work.
I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and living with a friend of mine,for I had lost my flat. I had attended five interviews with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not get the job.“Why has my life become so hard?"
I thought painfully.
One afternoon, while doing my rounds, I pulled the bus over to drop off a little girl, she handed me an earring saying I should keep it so that somebody could claim(认领)it.The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY〞.
At first I got angry. Then it hit me—I had been giving all of my attention to what was going wrong with my life rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a list of fifty things I was happy with. Later,I decided to add more things to the list．That night there was a phone call for me from a lady who was a director at a large hospital. She asked me if I would give a one-day lecture on stress management to 200 medical workers.I said yes.
My day there went very well，and before long I got a well-paid job.To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of thinking that I completely changed my life.

The story of the day I lost my best friend to a car accident. The day a precious life was taken from us way too soon.
It was a bright and Sunny day in November. Thanksgiving had been celebrated only two days before. Since it was a holiday weekend I had been on the phone with Greg the night before many times. His dad didn't want him to come over because of the holiday. I guess he finally wore him down and he called and said, “I can stay〞.
So, my mom, brother, and I went to pick him up. He was always smiling. The complete opposite of my shy self, Greg was always the life of the party.
We got two large pizzas that Friday night. I’ve never known anyone in my entire life who loved to eat more than Greg. That’s the way he was though. He was just enjoying life. And if it meant gaining weight or whatever, so be it. He would sit back and put his hands on his belly and just laugh. We (Greg, David, and I) did so many funny things together and had such great times. Things we should have done and things we shouldn’t have done, I’ll “Never〞 forget.
On Saturday morning Dad took us out for breakfast. We all finished eating and followed my Dad up to the cashier. Greg asked Dad if he could have a candy bar. I looked at Greg shaking my head. He just laughed. After breakfast, Father took us to my Mom’s house.
When we got out at Mom’s house there was no one home. So, one of us grabbed a big wheel and rode it down the steep driveway into the street. Just boys being boys. Greg and I did it several times until the last time. The car hit him on the head, knocking him around 75-- 100 yards. My brother and I both ran screaming just yelling for help and crying. One of the neighbors called 911. I was in shock. That day was forever etched(铭刻) into our memories.
It still hurts to think about it. Wishing we could have grown old together. Wondering how it would have been. I’m sure It WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT.

BEIJING, March 9—The central government will require an additional three years of use for official vehicles for ministers and governors to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars, media have reported.
The new rule has been applied among all Party and government departments nationwide, the Beijing News reported on Tuesday. The new rule has not yet been made public, said Li, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee.
Under the old rules, the cars used by minister-level officials could be replaced as often as every five years, Li said. These officials will also retain the same cars when they assume new posts, he added.
The new rule also reiterated(重申) that officials ranking below minister-or governor-levels should not be allocated(分配) cars.The cars possessed by their departments should be used on demand.
“It violates〔违反〕the rules for lower-ranking-even county-level-officials to be allocated cars, “Li said.
Purchases of vehicles for official use have been heavily investigated, as they account for a large expenditure of public funds every year.
A survey on the Web news ifeng. com found 64 percent of respondents believed the new rule will be difficult to implement〔执行实施〕because it is related to officials’ interests.
“Local govern ment departments had halted approvals for requests for such vehicles
and had started to work on new quotas under the new rules.〞 Li said.
“The f uture reform of official vehicle use will introduce market mechanisms and monetization.〞
Premier Wen Jiabao said in the annual government work report on Saturday that expenditures on such vehicles will not increase in 2011 compared with a year ago. Beijin g’s st anding deputy mayor Ji Lin last week said the municipal government will release the number of vehicles for official use in the capital as early as at the end of this month.
Earlier this month, the Ministry of Finance had published a rule regulating the budgets for such vehicles.
12.What is the purpose of the new rule allocating vehicles among officials?
A. To promote a low-carbon lifestyle.
B. To cut down the present huge expenditures of purchasing cars.
C. To make good use of the budgets for official cars.
D. To solve the problem of severe traffic jam.
13.How often could the cars used by minister-level officials be replaced according to the new rule?
A. Every 3 years.
B. Every 5 years.
C. Every 8 years.
D. Every 10 years.
14.What about the officials ranking below minister-or governor-levels in terms of official vehicles?
A. They can still possess special cars.
B. They can use their own private cars.
C. They can use cars whenever officially necessary.
D. They can be allocated second-hand cars.
15.What is the public’s attitude toward the new rule’s fulfil lment?
A. Skeptical.
B. Optimistic.
C. Indifferent.
