If you arrange(排列)the 26 English letters in order and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c. . . 26 for z, you can change an English word into a number. So hard work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98，meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+
22、5=96;love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47，a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money? It cant, either. Then what else? Dont be worried.

Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes. When you change
