Elisa studied her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a green top and blue ieans.
Moments ago she was wearing a pink top and a brown skirt. For a moment. Elisa considered
changing clothes again but decided against it. “What’s the use?” she asked herself as she sat back on the bed.
At that moment, her mother called her from downstairs. “Elisa! Hurry up, honey! You don’t want to be late for your first day of school.”
“Don’t remind me.” Elisa thought to herself. It was not just the first day of school. It was Elisa’s first day at a new school. Picking out clothes for the first day of school was hard enough when you already knew your classmates. It was even harder when you would ever meet them for the first time.
“Elisa!” her mom called out. “I see the bus coming down the street!”
“This is it.” Elisa said to herself. She jumped off the bed and ran downstairs. Her mother stopped her at the bottom of the steps.
“I know you’re nervous about starting the first day at a new school.” her mother said.
“Remember my words: Be friendly to others and soon they will too.”
Elisa had her doubts. but she did not mention them. She put on a brave face and said. “It will be okay.” Then she hugged her mom and ran outside. where the bus was already waiting.
As she climbed on the bus, she was surprised to discover that she was the very first person on board. Elisa was happy to avoid other people for as long as she could. but she knew it would not last long. She took a seat near the back.
As the bus continued on its way, Elisa watched with a growing sense of anxiety as other kids filed on the bus. It seemed like everyone already knew each other. She had spent the past week worrying that other kids would make fun of her, but being ignored felt just as bad.

That day, the weather was very hot, and I was so nervous that I was unable to keep, still land think calmly. My friend John and I were discussing a problem, I thought this was the right thing to do, but he thought that was the right thing to do.
In the middle of our discussion, he made ink from his pen on my new notebook by accident. I was very angry and I said to him, “Why did you do that?” As I spoke, I deliberately spilled the ink from my pen into his book. “You, you did it on purpose,” he said loudly. At that moment, he was very angry, his face was red with anger, his eyebrows were almost raised, his forehead was wrinkled (皱起) more and more tight, and his mouth was wide open with anger. Suddenly, he pushed my things on the table to the floor. When I saw him do this, I was annoyed with him very much, so I pushed his to the floor, and angrily said to him, “We are no longer friends!” “Well, it’s you who break off the friendship!” The friend shouted like a lion. I immediately took my things and left.
From that day on, every time I met him, I would take another way to avoid him. When I met him, he seemed to want to say something. However, I didn’t wait for him to say anything, and ran away like an arrow.
Since that incident, I had been reflecting(反思) on, myself, feeling that I had done something wrong, but I didn’t have enough courage to apologize to him. I knew that he didn’t mean to make ink from his pen on the book that time, but I exactly did. I shouldn’t have made his book wet in ink by design. I hated myself all the time. I was angry with myself.

I was never very neat. Later in life I learned to attribute this flaw(缺点)to my creative genius, saying that my disorganization was simply the flip side of my unique gifts and talents. Yet, back at high school, I hadn’t come up with any impressive reasons for my big messes.
As fate would have it, my teacher paired me with Kim as my roommate. I’m not sure why he stuck us together. I don’t think he could have possibly picked two more different people to room together. Kim was extremely organized. She labeled everything and each item she owned had its place. Well, I think my bits and pieces of paper, odds and ends(零碎物品)would find their ways into places automatically. And apparently, my roommate didn’t seem to be on the same page with me. As time went by, she got neater, while I got messier. She would complain about my dirty clothes. I would complain about Lysol(杀菌消毒剂)headaches. She would nudge(轻推)my clothing over to one side and I would lay one of my books on her tidy desk.
One October evening, things got ugly. Kim came into the room and lost her temper right away after seeing one of my shoes had found is way beneath her bed. She picked it up, tossed it toward my side of the room angrily and managed to knock the layer of clothes onto the floor (by the way I had planned to fold them later). I leapt off the bed and immediately started yelling about her rudeness. She yelled back, “Look at the mess you’ve made! Could you at least clean up your own table!” I was sitting on my bed, fuming(发怒). She was sitting on hers, fuming. The room was thick with anger. It could have ended up with a nasty fight if it hadn’t been for the phone call she received.

Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf. Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn’t know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see that it’s going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I’m sorry. Do I know you?” Eliza asked.
“I’m sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend,” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this woman be Betty, her grandmother’s childhood friend?

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the things he asks his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they often see what they really value in life.
He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I don’t know much. All I am is rich.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for ant given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
