Dear Sigmund Friend

I am a Grade 9 student. I have   21   problem, and I do not know how to deal   22  it.

I have a lot of homework every day, and I have no choice   23    to do it. I often stay up late to complete   24   , and then feel tired the next day.

Sometimes, I want to   25   to do so much work, but usually I just accept it. I understand that it is important to do my homework and   26    on time. However, I hardly have any spare time for my hobbies   27   playing volleyball and ping-pong. I really feel bad about that. I often doubt whether it is worth   28    so hard.

I am   29   a holiday without homework so that I can relax and have some time for my hobbies. What should I do? Can you offer me some suggestions? They will be of great value to me. I hope to    30    you soon.

Best wishes

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such    16     that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.

    It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on  17  things in life and about devoting ourselves to 18   is important to us. This is how the story went:

    An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He would    19    the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and   20  . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at  21   street corner and begged for almost 20 years.

    His  22    was dirty, and a stench came out and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of  23   all over the house  24   he had collected over the years.

    The police counted the money, and they soon   25  that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to ___26__ the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a   27    man now, a millionaire.

    But the old man said  28   ; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up  29 , went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.

    Clearly, this old man had no great plans,  30   or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.

If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11= 98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer? They can’t, either.

Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, which is your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark!

Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.

When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure, you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.

1.Some people think it is important to have hard-work, knowledge, _______in their life.

2.According to the passage, the mark of the word “money” is _________.

3.From the passage, we know it’s possible for you_______if you change your attitude.

4.People will meet_______ towards them when they change their manners and become friendly to others.

5.The main idea of the passage is that ___________.
