C

     I told my friend Graham that I often ride two miles from my house to the town center but unfortunately there is a big hill on the way. He replied, ^You are fortunate.He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.

     My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain about it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my body. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It means that I will live longer. This hill is my friend.

     Problems are there to be faced and overcome. The most important to succeed in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships,problems,accidents,difficulties and so on. We cannot choose the adversity,but we can choose our attitude towards it.

     Different countries have different customs in giving presents. In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person,because the sound of the word for “clock” is similar to the sound of “death”. Also,don't wrap a present in white,black,or blue paper,because they are the colors for funerals. Don’t give a knife,because something sharp can cut a friendship.

     In Russia if you give flowers as presents,you have to give an odd number of them (one,three,five,etc. ) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.

Then they quickly realized that one of their 135 penguins was missing.

     The park officials said the two-foot-tall bird didn't fly out of the zoo,because penguins can't fly,but the details about how it escaped are not clear.
