Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good 1 and always had something 2 to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing,he would reply, "If I were any better,I would be twins！”
He was a 3 manager because he had several waiters who had followed him 4 from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his 5 . He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day,Jerry was there telling the employee how to 6 the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me 7 ,so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him , " I don't 8 it!You can't be a positive person all of the time. 9 do you do it?"
Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and 10 to myself, ' Jerry,you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood 11 you can choose to be in a bad mood.,I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens,I can choose to be a 12 or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining,I can choose to accept their complaining or I can 13 the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
'(Yeah,right,it's not that easy," I 14 .
"Yes,it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you 15 away all the junk (垃圾) ，every situation is a 16 . You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The 17 line: It's your choice how you live life."
I reflected on 18 Jerry said. Soon thereafter,I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost 19 ,but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of 20 to it.

S Older people like reading negative news stories about their younger counterparts because it boosts their own selfesteem,according to a new study.
German researchers said older people tend to be portrayed (描绘成) negatively in society. Although they are often described as wise,they are also be shown as being slow and forgetful. "Living in a youth centered culture,they may appreciate a boost (增进) in selfesteem. That's why they prefer the negative stories about younger people,who are seen as having a higher sta?tus in our society," said Dr. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick,of Ohio State University.
Knobloch-Westerwick and her coauthor Matthias Hastall,of Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen,Germany,studied 276 German adults,including 178 aged 18 to 30 and 98 be?tween 55 and 60. Their findings are published in the Journal of Communication.
All the adults in the study were shown what they were led to believe was a test version of a new online news magazine. They were also given a limited time to look over either a negative or positive version of 10 preselected articles.
Each story was also paired with a photograph depicting someone of either the younger or the older age group.
The researchers found that older people were more likely to choose to read negative articles about those younger than themselves. They also tended to show less interest in articles about older people,whether negative or positive.
But younger people preferred to read positive articles about other young people.
According to Knobloch-Westerwick,older people's preference for negative news about their younger counterparts can be explained by their place in society.
"Everybody likes a selfesteem boost. For young people though,it's almost automatic. Youth is considered important in society”，she said.
After perusing the articles,the participants completed a questionnaire designed to measure levels of selfesteem. Unlike their younger counterparts,the selfesteem of older people rose after they read a negative article about younger people.
( ) 1. What is the social trend towards older people?
A. They are often described as wise.

The first day of school our professor introduced a little old lady to us.
"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked later. She jokingly replied, " I'm here to meet a rich husband,get married,have a couple of children,and then retire and travel."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one！ ”she told me.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class to?gether and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this " time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to make a speech to our football team. I'll never forget what she taught us. As she began to deliver her prepared speech,she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed she simply said, "I'm sorry. This whiskey is killing me!I'll never get my speech back in order to let me just tell you what I know."As we laughed she cleared her throat and began：" We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young,being happy,and achieving suc?cess. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams,you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing,you will turn twenty years old. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did,but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."
At the year's end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral to honor the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

C. The writer asks the question for sure because he/she doesn't know her real age.
