My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It’s funny now but it wasn’t at the time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop--- that was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I went back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, with dark glasses and worn clothes, and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he’d started to eat my chocolate!
Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble---and really I was rather uneasy about him --- I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn’t dare to start an argument. When he took a third piece. I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I got it.
The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out. “This woman’s crazy!” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing(令人难堪的) enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red-as red as his hair-when I realized I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.

46.Rich or poor, old or young, we all have problems. How do we deal with our problems? There are many ways.
By learning to forget. Most of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents, or teachers. Perhaps they said something they didn’t like, or you felt they are unfair. 47.Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendship may be lost. When we are angry, however, we’re usually the ones affected. Perhaps we have seen young children playing together. 48.Sometimes they have disagreements and decide not to talk to each other. However this usually does not last for long. This is an important lesson for us: 49.we can solve a problem by learning to forget.

We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges”. Education is an important part of our development. As young adults, 50.it is our duty to try our best to deal with each challenge in our education with the help of our teachers.
