【题文】I teach biology at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my ________ how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so ________. He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so ________.

His question ________ me of something I’d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a ________ about how you want to deal with life that day,” I said. “I choose to be cheerful.”

“Let me give you an example,” I continued, ________ all sixty students in the class. “In ________ to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at a ________ in Henderson, 17 miles down the ________ from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I exited the highway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car ________. I tried to start it again, but the ________ wouldn’t work. ________ I turned my flashers on, took my books, and ________ down the road to the college.

“As soon as I got there, I called and ________ for a tow truck to meet me at my car after ________. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “This is my ________ day,” I replied, smiling.

She was ________. “What do you mean?”

“My car could have broken down anywhere along the highway. It didn’t.” I replied.

“________, it broke down in the perfect place: off the highway, ________ walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient ________.”

I ended my story. In spite of the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them.
