Peter lived in a village. He was sad recently...

Peter lived in a village. He was sad recently because he thought that he had nothing left. One day, Peter went to ask a wise man for help. He said to the wise man, I have nothing left, so I don’t want to live. The wise man smiled sympathetically (同情地).

The wise man took out a piece of paper and drew a straight line down the middle. He explained that he would write down the things Peter had lost on the left side and the things Peter still had on the right side.

The wise man asked, “When did your family leave you?”　 “What do you mean? They haven’t left me. They love me.”

“That’s great!” said the wise man. “Then that will be the first thing on the right side—Family haven’t left. Now, do you have freedom (自由)?”

“That’s a silly question. Of course I do.”

“Good! That’s the second one on the right side—You have freedom.”said the wise man, writing it down. After Peter was asked some more questions in the same way, he finally understood and smiled. “Things will change when you think of them in a different way!” he said.

As a matter of fact, change your attitude (态度) and you will change your world. It’s necessary to have a positive (积极的) attitude to life.

Judge the following statements true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.

1.Peter felt down recently because he thought his life was meaningless.

2.Peter thought he had nothing left except freedom.

3.The things that Peter still had were written down on the left side.

4.The wise man gave Peter some advice directly.

5.From the passage, we can know that we should have a positive attitude to life.
