3．（8分）During the war，my husband was sent to an army camp in a desert in California.I went to live there in order to be near him.I hated the place.I had never been so unhappy.My husband was ordered out on a long﹣term duty，and I was left in a tiny house alone.The heat was really hot and not a person to talk to.The wind blew non﹣stop，and the every air I breathed，were filled with sand，sand!
I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents.I told them I was giving up and coming back home.I said I couldn't stand it one minute longer.I would rather be in prison （监狱）!My father answered my letter with just two lines﹣two lines that will always sing in my memory﹣ two lines that completely changed my life：
Two men looked out from prison bars One saw the mud （淤泥）the other saw the stars |
Tread those two lines over and over.I felt sorry for myself.I made up my mind I would find out what was goo in my present station.I would lo for the stars.
I made friends and they gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had refused to sell to tourists I watched for the desert sunsets，and bunted for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago.
What brought about this great change in me？The desert hadn't changed，but I had.I had changed my attitude一I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing adve
nture （冒险） of my life.I was excited by this new world that I had discovered.I had looked out of my self﹣created prison and found the stars.
