Question

閱讀理解 　　Be more popular, get better grades, have more pocket money．．．A teenager's life seems far from trouble-free．However, American author Daniel Gottlieb disagrees． 　　In his book, Learning From the Heart：Lessons on Living, Loving and Listening, Gottlieb says that people should listen to the voices of others and to their own hearts and learn to feel comfortable with who they are． 　　In most people's eyes, Gottlieb, 60, might be uncomfortable with himself．He became paralyzed(癱瘓)due to an accident that happened when he was 30．He went through a terrible divorce(離婚)and his second wife got cancer．He had to try hard to communicate with his autistic(患有自閉癥的)grandchild． 　　Yet in his book, Gottlieb manages to see the silver lining to every cloud．He writes that being paralyzed brings him great parking spaces．He doesn't need to spend money on shoes．More importantly, he learns that what he really wants is to stop wanting to become or to have something that he simply cannot be or have． 　　"Because of my dilferentness, I have not been intimidated(脅迫)by my need to be like everyone rise," he writes．"I might not have become the man I am today were-it not for this trauma(傷害)．" 　　Perhaps, the best side of being paralyzed for Gottlieb is that he becomes an outsider among people?"like a foreign reporter", as he puts it．He acutely(敏銳的)observes the way people act, think and live, and puts his observations into the pages of Learning From the Hears．Its Chinese version will be released in January next year． 　　Publishers Weekly says that the message of the book contains "the unmistakable ring of truth to it; love rather than change yourself or anyone else"． 　　"Trying to change others is about intolerance(不夠寬容)," the magazine says, "which is．at the core(核心問題)? of so much enmity(敵對)．We can't find peace unless we are trying to help others find peace also．" (1) What does Daniel Gottlieb think of a teenager's life?
