He was always in a good mood and always had something
137、positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins！”He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude.
138、He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there, telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.Seeing this really made me curious, so one day I called on Jerry and asked him, “I dont get it! You cant be a positive person all of the time. How
139、do you do it？” Jerry replied，“ Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn
140、from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me, complaining, I can choose to accept his or her complaint or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.”“Yeah, but anyway its not that easy，” I argued.“Yes it is，” Jerry said. “Life is all about ch
141、oices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: Its your choice how you live life.”I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I
142、 left the restaurant industry to start my own business. Although we dont meet often since then, we still keep in touch.One day, I was suddenly told that Jerry was sent to hospital._After hearing his story about the robbery, I was quite surprised how he could still remain so optimistic._【文章大意】Jerry是一
143、个乐天派，无论遇到什么烦心事，他都能保持积极乐观的心态。当“我”询问他如此乐观的原因时，他向“我”解释了他的人生哲学：生活就是由很多选择组成的，除去那些不值一提的事情，生活中的每件事都是一种选择。如何过你的生活是你的选择。【写作指导】Paragraph 1的开头是“一天，我突然被告知Jerry被送进了医院”。再根据Paragraph 2的开头可知，本段应该讲述“我”去医院看望Jerry及他告诉“我”他遭到抢劫的经过。Paragraph 2的开头是“在听他讲述关于抢劫的事情后，我对他仍然如此乐观感到十分震惊”。再结合文章前面所描述的Jerry积极乐观的心态和他的人生哲学，显然接下来的内容应该与J
144、erry在遭到抢劫、重伤住院后仍旧保持积极乐观的心态有关。【佳作展台】One day, I was suddenly told that Jerry was sent to hospital. I immediately rushed to the hospital to visit him. Jerry was lying calmly on the bed. Seeing me come into the ward, he greeted me with a smile. When I asked what happened, he told me he was held up by th
145、ree robbers. They asked him to open the safe, but he didnt hesitate to turn down their request, saying firmly that he would by no means do that. The robbers had no other alternative but to hit him with sticks violently and leave the restaurant unwillingly.After hearing his story about the robbery, I
146、 was quite surprised how he could still remain so optimistic. I asked him how he was. He replied, “If I were any better, Id be twins.” How could he still remain so positive even after such a terrible event? It seemed that he had read my mind and said, “When I lay on the operating table, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or to die. I chose to live. So I lived owing to my choice.” I learned from his words that every day we have the choice to live fully.
