Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 21 I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find 22 work. I was 23 a school bus to make ends meet and 24 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had 25 five interviews (面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 26 the job. “Why has my life become so 27 ?” I thought painfully. As I pulled the bus over to 28 a little girl, she handed me an earring 29 I should keep it 30 somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”. At first I got angry. Then it 31 me - I had been giving all of my 32 to what was going wrong with my 33 rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a 34 of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to 35 more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for 36 from a lady who was a director at a larger 37 . She asked me if I would 38 a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes. My 39 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 40 that I completely changed my life. 【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文章。文章讲述了我20年前在纽约经历的一段艰难生活。起初，我虽然有经验和硕士学位，但还是找不到满意的工作。一个小女孩给我的一个耳环改变了我的生活。从此以后，我列了一个感到满意的50件事情清单，并决定不断添加。后来我终于找到了一份高薪的工作。我知道正是因为我改变了我的思维方式才改变了我的生活。

You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong．But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind. 你可能认为帆船是一项很难的运动，但学起来并不难。你不需要身体强壮，但要反应快速，同时你需要了解一些关于风的基本规则。 First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat．The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail. 首先，你得问自己，“风是从哪里来？前，后，还是侧面？” 在船上你必须时刻关注，风向指导你如何处理船帆。 Let's start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best. 我们从后面吹来的风开始，这意味着船是顺风前进。你必须始终让船帆位于船外，和船成90°，这样就能最好地借助风力。 If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap. It shouldn't look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down. 如果风从侧面吹来，它会掠过船。这种情况下，你必须将船帆的一半位于船外，与船成45度角。它需要够远才能兜住风，但不能抖动，看起来不像是在旗杆上。如果抖动，可能会飞得太远，船会减速。 Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat. 在风中航行是不可能的。如果你这样做，船帆会抖动，船会停下来。你可能想朝某个方向航行，这是可行的，但你不能沿着直线航行。你必须先朝一个方向航行，然后再换另一个方向，这称作戗风行驶。戗风行驶时，你必须始终让船帆始终保持在船内。
