    A jobless man wanted very much to be an “office boy” at Microsoft. The manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test.” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the form(表格) to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied. “But I don't have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “I'm sorry,” said the manager. “If you don't have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isn't living cannot have the job.”
    The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He did this again and again for three times, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. At last, he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles(运货车队).Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the US.
    One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I haven't got one.” His friend couldn't believe his ears. “Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?”The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!”

Learning new things nearly always adds a spark to your daily life, especially if it is a favorite topic, such as sport, fashion, or art.

          else was at home, so I had to do it by myself. I was a little afraid, but I wanted to do it, so I pushed up off the arms of my wheelchair and       .

I said, "I made it, I made it, thank you!" I looked out to see where Alexis was. She was driving to the house. She was so surprised  that I was standing there waving at her.

    When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let your anger go off. But forgiveness（原谅）is possible – and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the damage to our system and allow people to feel more energetic.”
    So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology（道歉）. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”
    Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who worries you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
    Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective（看法）. You may realize that he or she was acting out of knowledge, fear – even love. To get perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.
    小题1:What’s the name of Dr. Frederic Luskin’s book?
    小题2:According to the writer, what should you do first after being hurt?
    小题3:Why does Dr. Luskin advise us not to wait for an apology after being hurt?
    小题4:What’s the writer’s idea to get perspective?
    小题5:What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the passage?
