　　小学英语阅读：A Cheerful Temper

　　A long time ago， there was a young man named Billy. Billy inherited the warm and good characteristics of his father. “My father had such a good personality. He was the horse-keeper of a funeral carriage.”

　　“No matter how hard the work was， he always smiled. I got the habit of visiting the church cemetery from my father and of reading the newspaper， too.”

　　“He said reading the newspaper would help my studying a lot. Sometimes， I take a walk to the church cemetery by myself. I learned a lot from my father.” One day， he saw a tombstone while he was walking down to the church cemetery. “The man who was buried right here was miserable before he died.”

　　“Even though he had a good job and made enough money for living， he got angry easily. Maybe he was too narrow- minded. For all of his entire life， he worried and got angry， then he was buried here.” Billy went to another grave and saw another tombstone.

　　“This man right here was happy before he died， I guess. He was from a good family of high class. He spent his life enjoying everyday.” Billy got close to the other grave and saw its tombstone.
