Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well，friends，cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you’ll find that the whole world smiles to you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons，but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out，it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends，why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do，sometimes failure can’t be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves，draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”
Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic（乐观的）attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us. 50. People sometimes complain _________. A. the sky is always dark
B. their studies are successful D. life is tiring

Why are first ladies so important in the United States? They are unpaid and have no official work? There are several reasons, but the most important reason is that they are role models for other women in the United States.
Jacqueline Kennedy was the best first lady in the US. Although she
wasn't an actress, model or singer, she was a fashion and cultural icon(文化偶像) who charmed people wherever she went.
If you are looking for someone who is as charming as Jacqueline Kennedy, it will be hard to find anyone more suitable than Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping. If you were writing a novel and trying to describe the perfect mixture of personal history, capabilities, confident lady for a character, you'd come up with someone like Peng.
Born into a family in Shandong province, she joined the People's Liberation Army at the age of 18, doing pretty well in singing military(军旅) songs. But she is not only famous for her voice and great achievements, but also for her charity efforts. She has, among other things, worked as a member of World Health Organization to fight against AIDS, and has done much in 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
The media reported Peng’s trip with her husband. This was Xi’s first foreign trip as president. The trip shows that she can be a role model for Chinese women, especially young Chinese women at home and abroad.
In the past, China has not had a tradition of first ladies like in the US. Now that China has a higher position on the world stage, it can have its first first lady! And Peng Liyuan is the perfect person with whom to begin.
