You may have heard the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Since lemons are thought to be bitter(苦的)and lemonade sweet, the saying tells you to make the best out of a bad situation.

Unluckily, when something bad happens, it's not uncommon for most people to talk about it to anyone who'll listen, and complain about life, "Why me?" That's like getting a bag of lemons, putting them down, and thinking, "Lemons taste bad! I'd rather have chocolate!'' If you don't make anything with the lemons, they will go bad. But what if you did something with them? What if you made lemonade? Isn't it possible to do something similar with a bad situation?

Here's an example: Let's say you're about to go to the movie, but you discover you have a flat tire(癟胎).You think it a terrible thin. After all, you are really looking forward to spending some time with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Now you're all stressed out. hating the tire, the car, and your life. But what if you called AAA, got your tire fixed or got caught up on things that you'd been meaning to do? What if you did some reading. or had coffee with a friend instead? As awful experience can be turned into something better. You can't change what has happened, right? So make the best of it. I'm not saying it will be easy. The easy thing to do is complain about your bad situation and not think about what it could be turned into.

Next time when some bad things happen, stop and think, "How can I turn this around? How can I make it a nice experience ?" You needn't fear difficulties. As long as you keep on changing it, you will see the good at last.

1.What do we know about the saying in Paragraph 1?

A. It is encouraging. B. It is humorous. C. It is amazing. D. It is interesting.

2.What does most people usually do when something bad happens?

A. Accept it. B. Ask for help.

C. Complain about it. D. Find out the reasons.

3.The writer uses the example of seeing a movie to tell us .

A. a flat tire happens sometimes B. it is all right to make mistakes
