Jack’s daughter, Emily, knocked over (打翻) a cup of milk and it fell on his trousers at breakfast yesterday. Jack got annoyed. He shouted at his daughter and she started to cry.
“Why did you shout at her?” asked his wife. “Why did you put the cup on the edge (边缘) of the table?” replied Jack. Then he went to change his trousers.
Because she was upset, Emily didn’t get ready for school in time and she missed her bus. Jack had to drive Emily to school. Because he didn’t have enough time, he forgot his bag. He was forty minutes late for work. As soon as he got there, he had to go home again to get his bag. Did it have to be a bad start?
Again the milk fell on Jack’s trousers, but this time he didn’t shout. He smiled and said, “It’s OK. Don’t worry!” Then he went to change his trousers. When he came back, Emily said, “Bye, Daddy.” And she ran out to catch her bus. Jack went to work early, and he had a great day. So, here’s the 90/10 secret.
Ten percent of life is what happens to us. We can’t control it. That’s life. Things happen and we have to deal with (应对) them.
Ninety percent of life, however, is how we deal with it. Remember that when something bad happens next time. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

One possible version: Dear schoolmates, Elephants are the largest mammals on land. They can live as long as 80 years. However, these days the number of elephants is becoming much smaller. Because people cut down forests they are losing their homes. Also, people kill them for their ivory. Elephants are in great danger. I think we should try our best to protect them.
First, we should help make rules to stop people from killing elephants. Second, we shouldn’t cut down trees. Third, we shouldn’t buy anything made of ivory.
I believe everyone’s contribution (贡献) can make a big difference. Wang Peng
