I. Try to understand this small passage.

I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset. 'I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained $50. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room,' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!'

Jerry was always in a good mood and always had something positive(积极的) to say. If someone was having a bad day, Jerry would tell them how to look on the positive side of the situation(处境).

Jerry replied, “Each morning, I say to myself, ?Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or in a bad mood.? I choose to be in a good mood.”

Several years later, I heard Jerry was shot by three robbers. Luckily, he was sent to the hospital quite quickly.

“Well, when a nurse asked if I was allergic(过敏的) to anything, I shouted, ?Bullets(子弹)!?” “Then they laughed. I told them, ?I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.?”
