五、任务型阅读。
I heard the sound of the boat workers telling people to hurry up and get on board. As always, I was running late and I wasn't sure if I would get on the boat on time. Luckily, I was able to catch the boat and start my trip. I was going to work on a small island. It was just one of those days when things were not going right for me. I sat in a corner of the boat with my backpack next to me. I wanted to be alone and I didn't want anyone to talk to me. Thinking quietly to myself, I looked up at the sky. I saw some clouds that looked like giving me a thumbs-up sign. It looked so perfect that I couldn't help smiling. Seeing the shape of the clouds made me feel relaxed and calm. It seemed to tell me that everything was going to be all right.
Life is not always perfect. We might be surprised by the bad things that happen to us. Sometimes, things feel messy, while at other times, it feels like you have it all together. We should learn to take it all in, stop for a while and appreciate what we have, whether it's something big or something small. Remember to smile and look up at the sky. You never know when you might see something that brightens your day.
