There were so many computers there that I didnt know how to choose a right one.“Hi! What can I do for you?” A young man greeted me with a sweet smile. He looked like not a salesman but a student like me. I sensed a strange feeling - as if I had met him before. He began patiently showing me each model. With his help, I decided to buy one computer with enough functions at a very low price. I enjoyed this shopping experience because of his smile. A few months later, something was wrong with my computer. I went back to the store to have it fixed. When I arrived there, what I saw was still his smile. As soon as I told him my problem, he comforted me immediately and tried his best to solve the problem for me. I was quite grateful for his sweet smile and good service.When I went back to school, his smile often appeared in my mind.

Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序) and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They cant, either.Then what else? Dont be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度). Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100, a full mark.Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed ones attitude.When you change your manner and become friendly towards others, youll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive(积极地) attitude towards failure(失败), youll find its also rewarding though it has caused you losses.( ) 54. In the writers opinion, what is the most important thing in a persons life? A. Hard-work.B. Knowledge.C. Money.D. Attitude.( ) 55. According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to _. A. ask for help from others B. say your prayers to God C. change your attitude D. try Maths-solving methods( ) 56. From the passage we can learn that _. A. different attitudes come from different courses of life. B. mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life C. failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude D. none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or moreCMr King works in a shop and drives a car for the manager.
