二 阅读理解：

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my
profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I
listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to
make marriage vows（誓约）mean what they say. I am a good friend to my
friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to
you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a
desire of the next promotion（提升）, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love
you. And remember that love is not leisure（空闲）, it is work. Pick up the
phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best
thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is
so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago.
Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my
life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at
all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest
lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at
all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I
believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part,
by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.
Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you
do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
