I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners, my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, I’ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. I’ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence? After reading about Professor Wiseman’s studies I think not.

　　As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential problem.

　　Finally, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.

　　13. Which of the following proverbs most agrees with the writer’s point?

　　A. Make the best of a bad job.

　　C. All is not gold that glitters.

　　14. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey?

　　A. She became famous through her family background.

　　B. She was very lucky and seldom suffered setbacks in her life.

　　C. She is a British talk show host.
