one grew up and became an alcoholic (酒鬼), while the other became a successful businessman. when asked why he became an alcoholic, the alcoholic replied, “because my father was a drunk.” however, the successful businessmans answer was also “because my father was a drunk.” when asked why he succeeded. the same background. the same upbringing (培养). however, the results were quite different. why? the reason is that they had different choices. the brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last, so they had different experiences.there was a time in my life when i thought difficulty was due to “bad luck”. have you ever heard the saying “when it rains, it pours”? that was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when i was in trouble. so what do you think i got? “rain”. more and more “rain”. i couldnt understand why bad luck was always with me.pam golden says, “youre either living in the problem or youre living in the solution.” now, when im faced with what i used to think was a negative (消极的) situation, i use a different way to think about it. i force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely. sometimes i write down some ideas that may be a solution, which i combine with the lessons i have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past, and often, i find a solution to the problem soon. it seems that i should thank the difficulty i met with. the rain that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience, from which i can benefit.now, it doesnt “rain” as much in my life as it used to. in fact, most days are beautiful, cloudless and sunny! sometimes i do get a rain, but i think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up. 28. the example of the twin brothers shows that _.a. making good choices is the most important b. education decides a persons futurec. upbringing makes a big difference d. it is luck that leads to success29. what does “rain” mentioned in the second paragraph refer to?a. water. b. good luck. c. success. d. difficulty.30. what is talked about in the third paragraph?a. how the author collects useful experience. b. how the author deals with difficulty now.c. how the author gets help from others. d. how the author lives in the problem.31. now, the authors attitude towards “rain” is _.a. negative b. unclearc. positived. unknowndlondonmanchester is britains fattest city, a survey for “mens health” has found, beating glasgow for the first time since the magazine started examining the issue three years ago.editor pete muir said the survey had looked at a variety of factors(因素) from gym membership to heart disease rates to find the fattest city. “manchester has more fast food restaurants than anywhere else in the uk,” he told reuters. “people are taking the easy choice eating and then just sitting in front of the tv.”manchesters problem is part of a wider trend(趋势). on thursday, the office of national statistics (ons) blamed(责备) a lack of exercise and poor diet for a fifth of adult britons being obese(过度肥胖的). “obesity is a major risky factor related to heart disease, diabetes and premature death(糖尿病和早亡),” said an ons survey. “none of the 108 young men in the survey reported eating five portions of fruit or vegetables on average each day.”in manchester, the head of the citys public health programs said he did not believe that they were necessarily the fattest city, but that they did have problems and were aiming to address them. social deprivation(贫困) was a major factor. “one of the myths is that the stressed-out(压力大的) rich businessman is the one who is overweight,” david regan told reuters. “in fact, it is the poor areas that have the most problems. we aim not to be the fattest but the fittest city but we have a long way to go.”second in the survey is stoke-on-trent, followed by liverpool, swansea and leicester. glasgow is sixth.32. manchester took the place of _ and became britains fattest city.a. liverpool b.
