As soon as I got there I called AAA (美国汽车协会)and arranged for a tow truck (拖车) to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the office asked me what had happened. “This is my lucky day.” I replied, smiling.

　　“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day？” She was puzzled. “What do you mean？”

　　“My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway but it didn't.” I replied, “Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance from here. I'm still able to teach my class, and I've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.” The secretary's eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class. So ended my story.

　　I scanned the sixty faces in my class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it_wasn't_the_story_at_all.In fact, it had all started with a student's observation that I was cheerful. An Indian wise man once said, “Who you are speaks louder to me than anything you can say.” I suppose it must be so.

　　[语篇解读]　文章叙述了作者在一节课上学生问及为什么总是那么高兴的原因，作者通过自己的经历告诉学生，是因为自己选择了高兴。
