Hope is what makes your life continue forward.Setting goals for yourself is fine，but impossible to reach without hope.Many humans believe that hope is something that creates disappointment.However，hope provides you with the ability to project success in your mind，aids in your acceptance of your faults helps you to know that challenges lie ahead，and provides the strength needed to remain appropriately focused on your goals.
Hope provides you with trust，healthy and responsible anticipation.Hope does not
create disappointment but expectation does.Because when you expects，you ignorantly narrows your focus.Expectation is what creates disappointment by causing each expectant individual to feel pessimistic about failure，impatient with new fears and challenges，and immature and uneducated when their narrow scope for goal achieving goes away.Hope brings your focus on goal achieving into a broader view，helping you to prepare for new fears and challenges.

译文参考
1．拿起地铁站的免费报纸，我看到标题“热！热！热！”。今天，伦敦的气温预计将达到30度以上！七月份的平均高温只有22度，所以超过30度是不正常的。在没有空调的中央线上会很糟糕。为什么他们要在空调之前发明地铁呢？一贯如此，我乘的是最古老的线路之一，也是其中一个最深层的。它是整个地铁系统中最热的。
2．果然，下楼梯走上地铁站台就像跳进一座正在喷发的火山。然而，与车厢内相比，这根本算不上什么。因为没有空调，车厢内的温度可以达到35度！在海滩上很好，但当你穿着西装，在一群乘客中时，情况就不是这样了！我敢肯定我旁边的乘客和我都正在融化，然后融为一体！我早餐吃了熏肉和鸡蛋，现在我觉得有点不舒服——我希望我能及时赶到银行站。我会通过思考工作来避免这种感觉。我在一栋高大的玻璃建筑里工作。有一个非常炎热的夏天，太阳反射了在玻璃大楼上，融化了的汽车停在下面！今天还会再发生
这种事吗？
3．是的，伦敦的每个夏天肯定比上一个夏天更热。我突然觉得有点害怕。也许现在是开始规划未来的时候了？我或许应该把我的公寓出售然后买一艘船。这样的话，当泰晤士河水上升，伦敦发生洪水时，我仍然可以上班。但是等等！我依然还会有工作的地方吗？我的办公室只在三楼，所以很低。我会和我的经理谈谈搬到顶层的事。最重要的是，我需要学会游泳！我马上参加初学者的游泳课。即使高楼被淹了，我也能活下来。
4．翻阅我的报纸，我很震惊地看到发生在亚洲的飓风摧毁了城市的照片。更有甚者，东欧的大雨导致了山体滑坡，而整个南欧的炎热也引发了森林火灾。专家说，这种坏天气是由于气候变化造成的。这样的消息让我感到紧张。既然地球上的灾难很难避免，也许我应该开始考虑搬到太空去……
5．“下一站是银行站！” 广播里传来。这是我的目的地。带着沉重的心情走出车站，我突然感觉到脸上有股清新的风。嗯，也许我一直太担心了。毕竟，外面只有30度！
