A

Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize（交往） with, and was used to people from the moment he was born.However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.

That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.

When we first brought him home,Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house,he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.

A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new barn cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see,.He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle（摔跤）.They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired

Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean,owner of Gumbo,another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities, they have adaptabilities.

B

It’s a familiar feeling.Your friend has made the team for Saturday’s big game,and you take a certain pleasure in telling him you can’t be there to watch him play.You smile,but that voice in you asks,why him and not you?

Envy is a fault that we like to keep secret.It raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but don’t possess now,or we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone losing it.Feelings of unfairness are part of being human,but when you focus on them,you can never get out of your dark emotions.And that makes you feel bad.

So is there a solution?Is there anything you can do to stop the most ungenerous emotions?Well,why not turn envy on its head,and make it the encouragement you need for self-improvement?The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can’t shine,but to do your absolute best where you can.

Start by making peace with yourself,and accept the gifts which make you unique.Make an agreement with yourself to be the best you can be.Then find out exactly the circumstances and qualities in others that start your envy.Is it someone’s singing voice,their work promotion or their new car?Envy shows us the things we’d like to have-so make up a plan to earn what’s important to you.Sign up for a night class.Start a training program.Give up a treat or two,and start saving for what you want.

And aim for real pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others.Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal.Enjoy your best friend’s wedding day.Then go out and do something special,and make yourself wonderfully proud of you.

A survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.

According to the results of an international passenger survey.Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch（干杯）,compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits.

The Airline Passenger Experience Association(APEX) spoke to around 1,500 people,aged 18 and older,who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States,United Kingdom,Germany,Japan,China,Singapore,Australia and Brazil.

The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off once the seat-belt sign switches off.They are also the first to take out their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming.Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively-when not drinking-choosing to work while flying at 35,000 feet.

Meanwhile,Brits and Germans are the best at making chat with random strangers-spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality.Comparatively,Brazilians conduct their conversations online via email,messaging apps or social media.

Despite plane food having a bad reputation,seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection of in-flight snacks and meals.In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers.

The international flyers did however express their desire for better in-flight entertainment.”The industry has greatly improved the comfort,entertainment and onboard service,and passengers are accepting those improvements”said Russell Lemieux,APEX executive director”At the same time,passengers are demanding more from their air travel experiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey. ”he added.
