UNIT 2　Lessons in life [对应学生用书第27页] We are enrolled in the full-time school called“life”.Everyday in this school, we have opportunities to learn new lessons.No matter whether we like these lessons or not, we have to take them, because they are our lessons. Why are we here in this world? What is the purpose of life? Humans have tried to discover the meaning of life for thousands of years, but failed to get the answer, because the meaning of life is different from person to person. Each one of us has his or her special purpose and path, unique and different.As we travel on our life path, we will learn many great lessons in order to fulfil that purpose.Learning our lessons well is the key to discovering the real meaning of our own life.

It is a matter of what “glasses” we are wearing at the time.It is not difficult to spot them if we take them as opportunities.So when we are not open to learning our lessons, failing a weekly English test might be like a disaster rather than an opportunity to us.Of course, the hard lessons may not be fun, but they can actually be the biggest gifts we receive from life. 1.enroll v.
