  • 1. (2019九上·长春开学考) 根据文章内容,回答下列问题。

        Good news or bad news? It depends on how you see things. You can be angry after being cheated. Or you can choose to move on with your life …

        Robert De Vincenzo, the great golfer (高尔夫球手), once won a competition, after receiving the check (支票) and smiling for the cameras, he went to the club and got ready to leave. While he was walking alone to his car in the parking lot, a middle-aged woman came over to him.

    She said "congratulations" to him and then told him that her child was seriously ill and near death. She did not know how she could pay the doctor's bills.

        De Vincenzo was touched by her story, and he took out a pen and signed his winning check for payment to the woman. "Make some good days for the baby," he said as he gave the check to her.

        The next week he was having lunch in a country club when his friend came to his table. "Someone told me you met a middle-aged woman there after you won that golf competition." De Vincenzo nodded. "Well", said the friend, "I have news for you. She cheated you. She has no sick baby. She has not even married."

        "You mean there is no baby who is dying?" said De Vincenzo.

        "That's the best news I've heard all week," De Vincenzo said happily.

    You can complain because roses have thorns (刺) , or you can be happy because thorns happy roses.
