People often say that you can not change the environment, but can change yourself; you can not change the past, but now can be changed; you can not change the facts, but can change attitudes.

Indeed, one key to the success lies in his1. The difference between successful people and the losers are: 2 attribute setbacks and difficulties to personal ability, experience, imperfect, to3 the internal(内在的), they are willing to continuously improve and develop the right direction; while the losers will blame on the opportunity, and the environment injustice, emphasizing external（外在的） and4factors that created the position of their life, they always 5, wait and give up!

Person's appearance or his family is a priori (先验的)condition that can not be changed, but at least the inner state, the spirit of the will is6 in their control. Mentality determines the final height of life. There is no absolute bad thing, only the absolute7mentality. If a person even cannot8the state of mind, how can he deal with things more complicated than the mentality?

No matter what the situation is, a person's9is very important. That you put 10or numbness in your work makes completely different. Emerson said:When one keeps moving toward his goal,the whole world will stand away from his way.On the contrary, failure is not because we do not have the11, but because we are susceptible(易受影响的) to all around us with an unstable attitude, and are easily 12.

As long as we believe the power of mind, change our attitude and have the13to face the disappointments in life, do not despair, we can14succeed. Believe the power of mind because15determines the final height of life.

Some people really don't like to be left alone with their thoughts. For example, some people taking part in a new study preferred to receive an electric shock rather than spend 15 minutes alone in a room with nothing to do. “The human mind wants to engage with the world, even, it appears, if that involves pain,” Timothy Wilson concludes. He is a psychologist who works at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

The brains of mammals evolved or changed slowly over generations to watch for dangers and opportunities.“Only humans evolved the ability to think,” he says.“Still, people can become uncomfortable controlling their own thoughts.” They may not be able to guide those thoughts in a pleasing or comforting direction. And that may help explain the popularity of meditation. It's a process in which people learn to control their thoughts and benefit from quiet contemplation (沉思).

For its new study, Wilson's group recruited (招募) 146 college students. The researchers asked each student to sit alone in a room at their lab without any devices, such as cellphones. This solitude lasted for 6 to 15 minutes.

Most participants said they not only had trouble concentrating but also found the experience unpleasant. The researchers then asked 44 of these people to sit alone at home, too. Again, the students had the same reaction as they had in the lab. They found the experience very uncomfortable.

But here's the shocker — quite literally. The scientists asked 18 men and 24 women to sit quietly and just think about anything. Their quiet, alone time lasted for entire 15 minutes. But in this experiment, the participants could give themselves a painful electric shock if they wished. That shock, though, would not make their participation in the experiment end any earlier. Still, 12 men and 6 women chose to receive a shock, rather than just continue to sit in silence.

Psychologist Jonathan Schooler of the University of California, Santa Barbara, did not work on the new study. He says its findings point out how many people find it unpleasant to reflect on issues by themselves. They'd rather suffer pain than bear quiet time alone.

Some veterinary (兽医的) professionals voted on the best dogs for new owners.

The Golden Retriever is the No. 1 choice of veterinarians for new dog owners. His sweet, gentle and people-pleasing personality makes him a delightful addition to most families. He loves to play, displays loyalty and love — and, if those are not enough, this guy is a real looker. Those good looks come at a price, though: His gorgeous coat needs regular brushing and bathing.

Smart, energetic, sensible and entertaining, the Poodle is another breed that's great for the beginner dog owners. Poodles have a reputation for being a bit aloof with people they don't know, but we just think they're less “needy”. He's available in three sizes, but whatever size you choose, be aware that if you want his curly coat in anything but a basic cut, you're going to spend a lot of time going to the groomer (美容师).

The lovable Lab has been a favorite breed in the US for more than 20 years, and it would appear that vets agree with this choice, naming him the No.3 best breed for new dog owners. This friendly breed is a popular choice for service and therapy dogs, and his strength makes him an excellent hunting dog and good athlete. These beauties are best suited to active families.

The Cavalier is a popular toy breed. He loves people, whether that involves sitting on laps or going for long walks. The Cavalier is happy, trusting and eas-going, making friends everywhere he goes. Although he can be stubborn, he generally tends to be adaptable enough to sit quietly with an older person, then turn around and play with an active child.

The Bichon Frise was bred specifically to be a companion, so there is little surprise that veterinarians consider him as such a great choice for new dog owners. Wonderfully affectionate (深情的) and endlessly entertaining, he has long been a popular circus performer, but he'll be perfectly happy performing his tricks for his family at home.

For many years, volunteers, both young and old, have been helping the poor and elderly people of this area. They work long hours building wheelchair paths, fixing leaky(有漏洞的) roofs and repairing the homes of those need help. Their only payment is the happy smiles and grateful hearts of the people whomhave helped.

I will always remember one man in particularhe has a real enthusiasm for voluntary work. He seemed to have inspired all the people in his group with his(cheer) spirit. Every day when I asked himhe was doing, he would reply, “I'm doing good!”the end of the month as he was preparing to leave, I looked at all the homes he (fix) and had to agree that he was indeed doinggood job!

A nice house, a successful career, and a lot of money might be nice to have, but(compare) with fixing others' home and helping those who are in need, their(significant) is not so great.
