I have a lovely daughter, whose name was Eloise. She is only nine years old. I picked her up from school and went to the supermarket for a few things. I was hoping to be in and out quickly.

I found a short line with just one person ahead(在……前面) of me. It was an elderly woman, and she was paying for her things with only change(零錢). It took a long time. After a whole day at work, I began to lose patience.

But then I watched the young clerk(職員). He helped her count her change, ever so tenderly(體貼地) taking it from her shaking hands. I listened to him repeatedly say to her, “Yes, madam.” When she asked the clerk if she had enough money to buy a bag, he told her she did. Then he went two lines over to get one for her. Never once did this clerk get annoyed(生氣的) or roll(滾動(dòng)) his eyes. He was patient and kind.

As I was watching him, I saw Eloise was, too. I realized that my daughter was learning an important lesson from a complete stranger.

After the woman was finished, the clerk began ringing up my things and thanked me for my patience. I thanked him, too.I found the manager and told him about the clerk’s kindness and patience.

Then we left the supermarket with a full cart(手推車), but also with a heart full of thankfulness for such an important lesson. Sometimes just one act of kindness is all it takes to encourage others to do the same. Being kind to others can also make you feel good.

This afternoon, when I was looking for a self-improvement(自我修養(yǎng)) book, I found an aged folder(文件夾).In this folder, there were some of the examination papers I’d taken during my pre-university days. They were on economics(經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)), a subject that I didn’t really like much then.

I laughed at the silly mistakes I made as I looked through the papers. And memories of the past came to my mind. I saw myself sitting at one of the study tables, working hard for some of my life goals. Back then, it was popular for most students to set life goals, because they thought it was most important.

It was during those times that I first started to set goals for myself. I didn’t know much about goal setting then. I didn’t use any goal tracking(跟蹤) tools, either. All I knew was that I had to go to university. There was no other way that I could give myself. To go through my lecture(演講) notes, I didn’t take breaks. For more revision with my classmates, I stayed back late. One time, I missed the school lock-out hours and I had to climb school gates in order to leave. It was perhaps this attitude(態(tài)度) that ignited my decision to go through what I had to do to get this far.

Yes, it may have been hard. But the sweet taste of victory experienced at the point of receiving my final results was so wonderful that I would never forget it for the rest of my life.

I closed the folder and dropped it into the dustbin(垃圾箱) in the room. It’s time to get kicking with my next goal. And by writing this, I know I’m getting closer.

1.When the author(作者)looked through the papers in the folder, he ________.

A. looked for a self-improvement book B. laughed at the silly mistakes he made

C. dropped it into the dustbin right away D. sat at the table and set life goals again

2.When the author first started to get goals for himself, he ________.

A. didn’t need to enter university B. didn’t use any goal tracking tools

C. was sure that he would win the victory D. learned a lot from a self-improvement book

3.Why did the author stay back late after school?

A. To be prepared to enter university. B. To learn more about goal setting.

C. To make his teacher pay attention to him. D. To get the chance of climbing school gates.

4.The underlined word “ignited” means ________ in the passage.

A. reduced(減少) B. balanced(平衡) C. questioned D. raised

5.What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?

A. He regularly(規(guī)律地) tidies his room. B. He’s not quite good at goal setting

C. He is ready for the next goal. D. He hated those papers in the folder.

As is well known, saying “no” is not easy at all. But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”. To learn to say “no”, we have to first understand what’s stopping us about it. There are some common reasons why people find it hard to say “no”.

You want to help others. You are a kind soul(靈魂) at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may take up your time.

Afraid of being rude. I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”, especially to people who are older, is rude. This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face-saving is important. It means not making others look bad or lose faces.

Wanting to be agreeable. At times, you find you are not in agreement. You don’t want to keep yourself away from the group, so you agree to do others’ requests(請(qǐng)求).

Fear of conflict(沖突). The person might be angry if you refuse him. This might lead to an ugly conflict. Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects(影響) in the future.

Fear of losing opportunities(機(jī)會(huì)). Sometimes, saying “no” means closing doors or losing opportunities. It may make you feel worried. For example, one of my friends was asked to work in another department(部門) in her company(公司). Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say “ no” as she felt it would affect her promotion(晉升) opportunities in the future.
