We spent this summer with our uncle. He was a geologist(地质学家) and loved to go on walks to collect ________ . One day, he bought us backpacks and asked us to go to the mountain with him and carry the stones.
The whole day we walked around. Every now and then he put stones in our bags. To our ________ , he also took some stones out from our bags. But we thought he had just found ________ stones.
Still, when we ________ to the house, we were very tired. The backpacks were so heavy that we felt ________ when we took them off. Yet uncle’s backpack was half empty.
“Why did you give us so many stones?” we asked.
“I didn’t. You did.” He said. “You didn’t know it, but I gave you a little attitude (态度) test. Today I listened to every word you said. Whenever you were complaining (抱怨), I ________ a stone to your bags. ________ you talked about something with positive (积极的) thinking, I ________ a stone. And now look at your backpacks.”
These stones made the backpacks nearly full.
“Your negative(消极的) thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your ________ just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind will be.”
With great love, our uncle ________ us one of the most important lessons in life—the power of attitude.
