One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humbles(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

We cautiously began a conversation and sopke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves.  I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee,  I  asked.

“ May I get you something?”

“A coffee would be nice.” Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit, at the door I met one of my friends. He asked.

“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”

“Who?”

“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”

I could hardly believe it. I way buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!

My few minutes with Mr. Glbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.

It is a hot summer day，and you feel thirsty．A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade．How do you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasure．There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings，and sometimes one causes the other，but they are not the same．Pleasure is a more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them．   

    When you are happy，little unpleasant events usuallv do not disturb you．When you are unhappy，you feel as if everything is against you．You may compensate for it by eating chocolate and sweets because this gives you pleasure，yet you stay unhappy．A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him pleasure，yet this does not make him happier，especiallv if he knows the fact that it is not good for his heahh．   

    The physical world is always in a changing state．At each moment a new thing is being created，changed，transformed and then destroyed．This is the normal state of things and no one  can change it．If we stay still in a certain state，we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later．0n the other hand, if

 we adjust to the environment，nothing can influence our moods．Then outer events have nothing to do with our inner joy of mind．

　　The next morning he said to the men, "Have you provided me with that sunset? "

　　"No, Sir," the men answered.

　　The director was angry. "Why not? " he asked.

　　"Well, Sir, " one of the men answered, "we are on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset."

　　"But I want a sunset!" the director shouted. "Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one. "

　　But then a young secretary had an idea. "Why don't you photograph a sunrise, " she suggested, "and then play it backwards? Then it'll look like a sunset."

　　They all went into the studio（攝影棚）. "All right, " the director explained, "now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the 'sunset' behind them. "

Dear Mary,

I am Senior 3 student. I’m going to take part in this summer’s college entrance examination. In preparation for it. I am studying very hard. As a result, I often feel exhausting both physically and mentally. Therefore, my parents still put a lot of pressure to me. I know they have great expectations for me, but I feel the pressure is too heavy for me not to cope with. I attempted to communicating with them, but failed.

Now I quite upset about it. How can my parents understand us? I really don’t know how to do. Could you please give me some advices?

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
