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.Some people think it is important to have hard-work, knowledge, _______in their life.
According to the passage, the mark of the word “money” is _________.
From the passage, we know it’s possible for you_______if you change your attitude.
People will meet_______ towards them when they change their manners and become friendly to others.

When I tidied up（整理）some old boxes under my bed, I found an old letter for me from my best friend. Her name was Minnie.
In the letter, Minnie wrote, “I am really sorry about before. Tell me if you will be my best friend again and tell me if you accept（接受）my apology . ”I wrote, “YES. I will be your best friend. ”
The twelve-year-old letter made me remember the time that Minnie and I spent together. We often wrote to each other during that time.
