43、quot; for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they ' rm ore comfortable asking questions and getting extra help.

Most DVDs have a section of out

52、takes, and often they will set me off laughing, especially when you know what was supposed to happen.We all make mistakes, and have many bloopers and outtakes in a lifetime. Some of them may be funny like movie bloopers, a stupid mistake and we are able to laugh at ourselves. Other outtakes in life,

53、 however, are not funny. I am referring to the tragic turns of events that happen in life that can turn our life in a moment. Accidents, disaster, the death of a loved one happen unexpectedly, and can greatly affect our lives. These are outtakes we would prefer not to happen or even replayed in our

54、life.Times of crisis and tragedy can not be prevented, but how you handle these outtakes will affect the rest of your life. There is always a choice in any crisis. We can choose to feel upset, but keep hopes and move forward, or choose to become stuck in the past. We cannot choose our circumstances,

55、 but we do have a choice how we respond to them. We can give in or overcome, and our choice will determine our future. When we drive a car our focus is the road ahead; if we spend all our time looking in the rearview mirror（ 后视镜）failure is more or less inevitable （不可 避免）！ The same is true in life. W
