　　(2024·長沙高三聯考)How to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them.They’ll say，“This is my fate，my destiny.I cannot change it.”

　　Of course not！You don’t have to suffer needlessly.Your destiny depends on you，not on any other external factors.

　　I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it.Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning，goes to work，comes back home，relaxes，chats with people，watches TV，then goes to sleep.Next day，the same routine cycle follows.

　　Huh！Is this what she calls“doing her best”？She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live；that her luck can only change if God wills it.Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest，but we have to do our share of exerting(運用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.

　　Remember that you reap what you sow.You just don’t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky.You have to get off the couch，get your eyes off the TV screen，get your hands off the phone.Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it.If something goes wrong，don’t just regard it as a temporary setback；but use it as feedback.Learn your lesson，make the most of the situation，and do something to solve the problem.It’s not enough to think positively；you also have to act positively.

　　If someone’s life is in the trouble，do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person.So it is with your own life.It is not enough to hope for the best，but you have to do your best.In other words，don’t just stand(or sit)there，do something to improve your life.

　　(2024·株洲模擬)When I was six years old，my mom told me that I could find anyone’s number in the phone book.I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan’s phone number.When I couldn’t find it，I just dialed seven numbers.When someone answered，I’d ask，“Is that Michael Jordan？”Obviously，I always had the wrong number.

　　A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center.It was very big.I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building.The recreation center had a special smell in it，sort of like hot rubber.I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard.The atmosphere on the court was carefree.Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot.We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.

　　I got good at it，and my confidence grew.I played it all the time until the sixth grade.As soon as junior high school came，I stopped playing basketball and focused on school.When senior high school started，I tried out for the school team and made it.We worked hard.Every week we did 300 push－ups and 300 sit－ups on our own.Our coach encouraged the sit－ups to keep stomach power，because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball.If we didn’t want to do the sit－ups and push－ups，we could practice dribbling (運球) and shooting more.It’s just us，the ball，the court and the net.But don’t take my word for it.See for yourself.After all，I’m just one kid playing the game.

　　(2024·邵陽二中高三月考)Many factors contribute to a deaf or hard－of－hearing person’s ability to communicate: degree of hearing loss，type of hearing loss，age，individual，environmental factors.

　　Every deaf and hard－of－hearing person is unique.Eye contact and facial expressions are very important in Deaf Culture.If you look at the deaf or hard－of－hearing person while talking，he will feel you’re interested in what he is saying.Also，he needs to be watching your face or body language in order to fully understand what you’re saying.

　　Don’t panic if at first you cannot communicate.Be a patient，positive，and relaxed person.Most deaf and hard－of－hearing people can easily understand if you write.Try to have patience，as it will in almost all cases take longer to have a conversation.

　　Make sure you have the deaf or hard－of－hearing person’s attention before communicating.Use facial expressions and gestures.

　　Speak normally.Slow down a little bit and separate your words.Exaggerated(夸張的) mouth movements will not improve the person’s ability to understand you.

　　Keep your mouth free from barriers，such as long beards，pens，pencils，cigarettes，hands，etc..Look directly at the deaf or hard－of－hearing person when communicating with him.Don’t turn away from him while you are in mid－sentence.

　　For most deaf and hard－of－hearing persons，it is much easier to communicate on a one－to－one level rather than in a group situation.Be aware of background noises，lighting，and visual obstacles that are barriers to understanding.

　　Do not shout.In most cases，shouting simply doesn’t work and makes you look foolish.

　　Establish eye contact and watch the person’s expressions.If the deaf or hard－of－hearing person shows signs of being confused，ask if he can understand.

　　Title How to 1.____________ deaf and hard－of－hearing people
