Some say hardwork and others say knowledge, love and luck. There are 26 English letters. If you arrange them alphabetically （按字母表的順序）and use numbers to represent （代表）each of them, for example，1 for a，2 for b, 3 for c，…you can change an English word into a number. So hardwork bees 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, and meaning 98 is its mark。 knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give us a foil mark. What about money? It can39。t either. Money is only 72. Then what else? Don39。t worry. You can always find an answer to a problem, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude （態(tài)度）. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+ 9+20+21+4+5=100, a foil mark. Different attitudes lead to different kinds of life. Most times people hope for a better life.

Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to normal （正常的） life. I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and yes, maths. To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to e to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by, I made progress. I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table, and threw different coins on the talbe. She asked me to show her 38 cents, 17 cents, 63 cents. It was challenging, but she also made it fun. After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class. As year went by, I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke（中風(fēng)）. Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak and know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her—just as she had worked with my years before. She make progress every day and was moved out of ICU（重癥監(jiān)護室） and finally out of hospital. One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you39。ve done for me.” I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you39。ve done for me.” Mrs. Pillar was one of my Junior 2 teachers, but she taught me so much more about life than only maths.（1）Which of the following is the correct order of what happened in the story?a. Mrs. Pillar suffered a stroke and was in hospital.b. I fell off the stairs and had to leave school.c. I returned to schoo
