Customer Reviews
1. ★★★★★
My favorite shoes! I’ve been to many conferences where my business fellows have told me how much they like my shoes. Just wearing them makes me feel more calm and content in the office. I recommend them to all of my co- workers, and I own a pair of each color.
2. ★
These are the worst shoes I have ever worn! The leather came off after only one week, and everybody thought they were ugly. The bottom of the shoes made everything slippery. My employer fired me because he hated them! From then on, I will only wear Brand X shoes !
3. ★★★
These shoes do exactly what shoes are supposed to do. There isn’t anything too special about them. In the morning, I put them on and go to work. They look delightful enough , and they are quite durable. I will probably buy another pair.
4. ★★★★
These shoes are my most cherished(珍爱的) possession. I met my bride while buying a pair of these shoes. She was the saleswoman at the store I bought them at , and after she sold me three pairs, I asked her for her phone number and we started dating. Soon after that, we were engaged. We are getting married this afternoon, and I couldn’t be happier.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
School mornings were always busy. The first sentence I usually heard was, “It’s time to rise!” It was Mom’s loudest voice and there was no way I could pretend not to hear it or hide from it.
“Okay, Mum. I’m getting up and dressed!” I would manage to call back.
Mum spoke loudly again as she announced, “Breakfast is ready!”
By then, I couldn’t get to the kitchen fast enough. In fact, it was a race between my sister, my brother, and me. We usually seated ourselves at the same time, sometimes knocking each other out of our places. After breakfast, we all rushed out to the bus stop as we took our lunch bags that contained a sandwich, fruit and dessert.
Then, one day, much to my surprise, there was no dessert in my lunch! What could have happened to it? Did Mom forget to make or buy it? Oh, well, I thought. It’s only one time, so it’s no big deal. But, for the next few days, my lunch contained no dessert! So one day, after school, as soon as I got home, I asked, “Mum! Why haven’t you been putting a dessert in my school lunches?”
Mum answered, “Why, Eugene, I have been including a dessert in your lunch. If you ‘re not getting them, then who is?”
So then we thought of my activities and what I did with my lunch each day. As soon as I arrived at school, I always put my lunch in the classroom closet (储物间) along with all of the other lunches. And that brought us to Carl the bad boy of the third-grade classroom. The teacher didn’t like him in class and would send him to the closet, where he would spend most of each day.
Carl lived in a group of foster home (集体寄养之家). He was loud and somewhat of a thief, he would take just about anything that wasn’t fastened down, so he wasn’t welcome at school. Mom and I concluded that with nothing else to do Carl was probably going through the lunches and eating what he liked.

Many people connect gratitude (感谢) with saying “thank you” to someone who helped us, making it a short act of appreciation. According to Robert Emmons, a leading researcher, gratitude is an emotion that can result in long-lasting positivity (积极性). 1.
Gratitude is good for your health.
Through his research, Emmons found that grateful people reported feeling healthier and happier, both mentally and physically. 2. In the workplace, employees who are shown that they are appreciated are healthier and more productive by 50 percent.

Being considerate to others’ opinions, experiences and backgrounds will make you a better person.
Gratitude makes us more self-aware.
Working in an ever-developing, fast-paced society, we are surrounded by ambitious people who are always struggling for more and better. 4. It starts by paying attention to what’s now going on in your life, and that’s true self-awareness is the key to being successful.
