萝卜花丁立梅

      ①萝卜花是一个女人雕的，用料是萝卜，她把它雕成一朵朵月季花的模样。花盛开，很喜人。

      ②女人在小城的一条小巷子里摆地摊儿，卖小炒。一小罐煤气，一张简单的操作平台，木板做的，用来放锅碗盘碟，她的摊子就摆开了。她卖的小炒只三样：土豆丝炒牛肉，土豆丝炒鸡蛋，土豆丝炒猪肉。

      ③女人30岁左右，瘦，皮肤白皙，长头发用发卡别在脑后。惹眼的是她的衣着，整天沾着油锅的，应该很油腻才是，却不。她的衣服极干净，外面罩着白围裙。衣领那儿，露出里面的一点红，是红毛衣，或红围巾。她过一会儿，就换一下围裙，换一下袖套，以保持整体衣着的干净。很让人惊奇且喜欢的是，她每卖一份小炒，就在装给你的方便盒里放上一朵雕刻的萝卜花。这样装在盒子里的，才好看。她说。

      ④不知是因为女人的干净，还是她的萝卜花，一到吃饭时间，女人的摊子前，总围满人。五块钱一份的小炒，大家多很耐心的等待着。女人不停地翻铲，而后装在方便盒里，而后放上一朵萝卜花。整个过程，充满美感。于是，一朵一朵素雅的萝卜花，就开到了人的饭桌上。

      ⑤我也去买女人的小炒。去的次数多了，渐渐知道她的故事。

      ⑥女人原先有个很殷实的家。男人是搞建筑的，很有些钱。但不幸的是，在一次建筑中，男人从尚未完工的高楼上摔下来，被送进医院，医院当场就下了病危通知书。女人几乎倾尽所有，抢救男人，才捡回半条命——男人瘫痪了。

      ⑦生活的优裕不再。年幼的孩子，瘫痪的男人，女人得一肩扛一个。她考虑了许久，决心摆摊儿卖小炒。有人劝她，街上那么多家饭店，你卖小炒能卖得出去吗？女人想，也是。总的弄点和别人不一样的东西吧？于是她想到了雕刻萝卜花。当她静静地坐在桌旁雕画时，她突然被自己手上的美镇住了，一根再普通不过的胡萝卜，在眨眼之间，竟能开出一小朵一小朵的花来。女人的心，一下子充满期望和向往。

      ⑧就这样，女人的小炒摊子，摆开了，并且很快成为小城的一道风景。下班了赶不上做菜的人，都会相互招呼一声，去买一份萝卜花吧。就都晃到女人的摊儿前来了。

      ⑨一次，我开玩笑地问女人，攒了多少钱了？女人笑而不答。一小朵一小朵的萝卜花，很认真地开在她的手边。

      ⑩不多久，女人竟出人意料地盘下了一家酒店，用她积攒的钱。她负责配菜，她把瘫痪的男人，接到店里管账。女人依然衣着干净，在所有的菜肴里，依然喜欢放上一朵她雕刻的萝卜花。菜不但是吃的，也是用来看的呢。她说，眼睛亮着。一旁的男人，气色也好，没有颓废的样子。

      ⑪女人的酒店，慢慢地出了名。提起萝卜花，大家都知道。

      ⑫生活，也许避免不了苦难，却从不会拒绝一朵萝卜花的盛开。

How to Enjoy Life As a Teen

    The "best years of your life"? Maybe not, but you can learn to make the most of your high school days.

    Learn to appreciate small things. Whether it's having a computer, having friends, having a good supply of food, a bed to sleep on, family that loves you, having a decent education or simply being born in this world, value it. ____ Be happy, and life will reward you. Remember that these are the last few years you will be able to enjoy yourself without having to worry about the responsibility of an adult, but make sure you prepare yourself for when you do become one. When you actually become an adult, you'll learn to love that responsibility and you probably never want to go back.

    Choose your friends wisely. Unlike what many articles state, you don't have to be popular and have a gazillion friends to be happy. ____ Try to have friends that like you who you are, not just because you are wearing a certain brand of shoes or something like that. These are people who shop at the same store as you; not someone who will sympathize with you when your dog dies.

    Keep your grades up. ____ This also sets you up to get into a college you want to go to, which in turn prepares you for a career you will enjoy, improving your quality of life in the future. You'll get cheap car insurance as well if you have at least a B or A average.

    ____ Participating in clubs, activities, and sports increases your chances of meeting new friends. While you only need 4 or 5 close friends, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to meet new people. Participating gives you something to do instead of sitting bored at home and wallowing in self-pity.

    Work at a job you can enjoy. Working is a great way co gain experience and to meet other people. ____ This will look great on your resume. If you can't find work, especially in this hard economic time, volunteer or make your own job.

A. Be sociable.

B. Remember the point of life is for you to enjoy it.

C. Find a hobby that is meaningful or practical.

D. In fact, many of the "friends" you have when you are popular are not true friends.

E. When you do get out of college, interviewing companies will look at your previous work experience.

F. Even though you want to enjoy your teen life as best as possible, don't idle away your time in school.

G. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your hard work pay off in the form of A's and B's (but mainly A's).
