n. 观点
Hi there. Today we'll talk about a survey in an American middle school. Scientists showed 200 students half a glass of water. They then asked the question: Is the glass half full or half empty? Guess what? Seventy percent thought it was half full, and thirty percent said it was half empty. What does this mean? The "glass half-full"people usually look on the bright side of life. The "glass half-empty" people often believe that bad things will happen. So, what about you? What kind of person are you?

Now let’s listen to Mike.
“I ran all the way to school. It's a great way to exercise. I was late for the music class. I sang a song to say sorry. It was a wonderful morning.”
