You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs,then it’s likely you will burn out,or feel upset.When you take and take without giving anything back,you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.

  The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values.I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values.Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be.I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by.An example of some being values are: kind,loving,generous,inspirational,peaceful,wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.

  Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.These could be companionship,achievement,support, being valued or financial security.This is what you receive.You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

  When you make a commitment to live by your being values,it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones.If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems,you could choose to think and act like a calm person.A calm person might go for a walk,meditate(沉思), or set a time limit before responding.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person.In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.

  When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce(加強)your chosen beliefs.Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.

完形填空 :通讀下面的短文, 掌握其大意, 然后在1—25各題所給的四個選項中, 選出   一個最佳答案。  

     When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or   for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For   I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story   than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember   the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For   instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the   story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and   cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in   the speech of a 13 character.

           

   Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and   so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (費心)   about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of   English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of   stories or 18 is called the general reader.

           

   As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20.   Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21   you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own.   Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases;   negatively (負面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in   expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent   copying is a help to 25 by heart.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the  1  side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to  2  in good health, or  3  about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to  4  damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text  5  the title. Therefore, the scissors(剪刀)would  6  before they start,   7  halfway done when I find out the   8  result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your  9  . You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be  10  up. But you know the future is unpredictable(不可預(yù)測的)—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left  11  . Thus you are   12  in a difficult position and feel sad. How  13  that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life  14  greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.

In fact that is what  15  is like: we are often  16  with the two opposite sides of the thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only  17  we get into another. The  18  may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the  1  side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to  2  in good health, or  3  about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to  4  damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text  5  the title. Therefore, the scissors(剪刀)would  6  before they start,   7  halfway done when I find out the   8  result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your  9  . You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be  10  up. But you know the future is unpredictable(不可預(yù)測的)—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left  11  . Thus you are   12  in a difficult position and feel sad.

It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only  17  we get into another. The  18  may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I  19  remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life. ”So a casual(隨意的)  20  may not be a bad one.
