23、t he was a fighter. Hed get through this and go on to attend Dartmouth. But meanwhile, immobile and on a ventilator（呼吸器）, how was he going to ask questions or be involved in his class?The solution was remarkable: The Orsinis would sit at Marks side and recite the alphabet. When they got to a letter
24、Mark needed to spell a word, hed nod “yes.” Theyd write it down, then start over and wait for him to nod again. They never lost patience and Mark was involved with every decision. Standard treatment hadnt helped, so I proposed a risky procedure to filter（过滤） his blood. After treatment he showed impr
25、ovement and soon he could move his toes, his legs and then his arms. Mark has graduated from Dartmouth. I saw him in my office some time ago, and he was feeling great.

26、ver met, sitting by his bed for hours, patiently listening to their child speak letter by letter.

30、s September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Ameri
31、cans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies progra
32、ms have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学)
33、. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal
34、 power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius

38、t happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly its
39、conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joylove, marriage, birthalso bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happ
40、iness is complicated.My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. Its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of
41、pleasure yesterday.FirstI was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a m
42、ix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I dont think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have
43、turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have. Weve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that its making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier.Happiness isnt about what happens
44、to usits about how we see what happens to us. Its the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. Its not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess. 60.
