短文理解(二) “我”的改变+度假胜地+如何成为优秀高中生
A
My life has changed since I attended a self-help seminar(交流会).One Friday morning my parents drove me to a three-day self-help seminar for teens called the Landmark Forum.When we arrived, my parents left me there.During the first course, the Landmark Forum leader asked us, “What is your racket?” He explained that everyone had a “racket”—a bad way of behaving.He said that you couldn't be happy until you gave up your racket.
My racket was lying.I lied about a lot of things to make myself happy.I always succeeded in lying to others.I felt happy when people told me I was such a convincing liar(说谎者).However, I felt sad when I heard a girl say that she hated liars that day.When the first day ended, I was actually looking forward to the next day's courses(课程) because of my new friends.On Saturday, many teenagers started to change.One of my new friends returned the toy bear he had stolen the day before to its owner.He told me that he had never felt so relaxed before, and he suggested that I should try giving up my racket.When I got home from the Landmark Forum, I tried to stop lying and started to take part in ball games and other activities at school.
Now I don't hate life any longer.I love it! I never knew I could be so happy.That seminar actually changed my life.

Dinosaur Isle
It is located in Sandown, a seaside town on the southeast coast. It's a large, lovely museum, both fun and educational. Here you can see a large fossil(化石) collection of all kinds of dinosaurs, as well as a gift shop. You can walk into the past and then the future, learning about the history and the development of the civilization of dinosaurs that lived 120 million years ago. You'll enjoy yourself very much.
Robin Hill Country Park
The park is in the beautiful countryside, and is suitable for children's parties and games. It has five new gardens, and offers great opportunities to see and take pictures of the rare red squirrels.
