欧美人的性情观
Always feel good
Always look at the bright side
Accentuate the positive of every disaster
If life hands you lemons, make lemonade.
The American reaction to(对。。。的反应)any kind of disaster or crisis is to feel good about it. Americans always look at the bright side; whether or not there is one, if possible accentuate(强调)the positive of every disaster. If life hands you lemons, make lemonade, they'll chirp as they examine the smashed wreck(失事)of their car or the earthquake-ravaged(毁坏)ruin of their house; I always hated that kitchen.
学校教育方向
Focus on teaching children self-esteem
Urging them to feel good about their accomplishments
Elementary schools focus on teaching children self-esteem(自尊), urging them to feel good about their accomplishments. Some schools have stopped giving spelling tests because many of the children couldn't get all the words right and the resulting failure damaged their confidence, i.e., made them feel bad.

Some topics to describe the attitude...
Why look like everyone else?
Feel comfortable. That’s all that m atters.
Wear the very latest fashions!
Don’t just get dressed. Make a statement.
The clothes we wear are the first image we offer. Sloppy or flashy clothing, the wrong colors, or the wrong combination can project a negative image to the out side world. I’ve noticed that people treat me differently depending on how I dress.
The best clothes are the most comfortable ones. I don’t try to look unique or unusual. I just want to be myself. What’s important is not the image we project at first glance. Anyone wit h money can buy a stunning suit or an elegant dress, so what can clothes really show?

Twinkle twinkle little star
twinkle, twinkle, little star,
how I wonder what you are.
up above the world so high,
like a diamond in the sky.
when the blazing sun is gone,
when he nothing shines upon,
then you show your little light,
twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
then the traveler in the dark,
thanks you for your tiny spark,
he could not see which way to go,
if you did not twinkle so.
in the dark blue sky you keep,
and often through my curtains peep,
for you never shut your eye,
till the sun is in the sky.
as your bright and tiny spark,
lights the traveler in the dark.
though I know not what you are,
twinkle, twinkle, little star.
twinkle, twinkle, little star. how I wonder what you are. up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky.
twinkle, twinkle, little star. how I wonder what you are. how I wonder what you are
