Not long ago, I was at a state conference (會議) with a group preparing for a week of meetings. I walked into the room where a handful of volunteers were ______ collating (裝訂整理) handouts. I asked if I could help. One of the ladies _____ said “Oh, no, thank you” and offered me a chair to just sit while they worked.

Then, another volunteer came into the room, saw me sitting there doing nothing and said: “Hey, Larry, come on over here. There’s work to do, and you can help.” He put a couple of chairs ______, placed two stacks of handouts on them and ______: “OK, the left sheet goes on top of the right one.”

“Fine. I can handle that,” I said. And just like that, I was now part of the team.

This member of the group saw that my ______ did not mean an inability to help. ______, I thanked him for having included me, and asked ______ motivated his action. He said: “Well, I figured ______ one more set of hands we’d finish more quickly. I was just using ______.”

Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice.Gifts are easy—they’re given after all.Choice can be hard.

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago.I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year.I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast,and the idea of building all online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old,and I’d been married for a year.I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn’t sure what to expect.MacKenzie told me I should go for it.As a young boy,I’d been a garage inventor.I’d always wanted to be all inventor,and she wanted me to follow my passion.

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired.I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet.He took me on a long walk in Central Park,listened carefully to me,and finally said,“That sounds like a really good idea,but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.”That 1ogic made some sense to me,and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision.Seen in that light,it really was a difficult choice,but finally,I decided I had to give it a shot.I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing.And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.

After much consideration ,I took the less safe path to follow my passion ,and I’m proud of that choice.For all of us,in the end,we are our choice.

Myth: If you cut your hair, it will grow long faster.

Truth: That’s not true. “Your hair isn’t like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate fresh growth,” says Phillip Kingsley. The length of your hair is genetically determined. When it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. When you clear up the dead split ends, this make your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.

Myth: If you skip meals, you lose weight fast.

Truth: There’s no truth in this advice. Not only will you lose weight by starving yourself, but according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism(新陳代謝) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.

Myth: If you swallow gum,it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.

Truth: Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit---not seven years, says NeiIzenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health Organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested in your stomach--- so if you gum up the works on a regular basis, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.

Myth: The best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.

Truth: Now that’s bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels, so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it won’t stop the bleeding; you’ll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet? “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝結(jié)) within a minute or two”. Suggests Dr. Izenberg.

1.The length of your hair is determined by ________

A. cutting it often B. your gene

C. the food you eat D. clearing up the dead split ends

2.According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will __________.

A. help you lose weight fast

B. help you lose weight slowly

C. cause you to become fatter

D. make you burning food more quickly

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Gum cannot be fully digested in the stomach

B. Gum can stay inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it

C. Gum can leave your stomach after you swallow in a few days later

D. If you often swallow gum, you might find yourself in a sticky situation

Take photos of relatives. They should include the old homes where they lived and the places where ancestors are buried. 2.

Read every old letter. Go through any old letter you might have saved from your parents and relatives. 3. These will give you insight into common everyday events that almost everyone has forgotten.

4. You may want to collect this history only as a family record for yourself and your children.

Nowadays,with desktop publishing programs,you can even publish the family history yourself,without having to take it to a printer.

Keep memories alive. Family histories are fascinating. 5. There are always some people who neglected to write down the tales of the past and record the family stories.

“Keep your eyes on the ball.” That is good advice when you are on the playing field, and good advice for everyday life. “Keep your mind on what’s important,” is the way I’d put it. But people are funny. They think too much about the details.

I had a secretary once. She was very hardworking. I ran a school and people used to call up to enroll(登記) for courses. Berry used to get angry at the phone. “If they keep on ringing, I’ll never get my typing done!” she’d shout.

People just don’t see the big picture. One evening, after leaving work, I was sitting next to a man on the train. I was feeling tired. My eyes fell on the paper he had spread out in front of him. You know how you feel to read over someone’s shoulder?

I read the page and leaned back. I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it. After a while, I realized—he wasn’t turning the page. He just kept on reading.

Now if you knew the page he was reading, you’d know that there weren’t many words on the page to read anyway. The layout(版面) was mostly pictures. So I turned to the man and said,” You know, you really read very slowly.”

“What do you mean?” he asked. “Well,” I told him, “I read the page in about a minute, and you have taken about ten. And you are still reading. You know,” I went on “If you learned to read faster, you could get more reading done.” He remained silent for a minute or two. “If I read too fast, my paper wouldn’t last me to my station.”

1.The writer wasn’t satisfied with his secretary because ___.

A. she didn’t put first thing first

B. she was too busy

C. she was easy to get angry

D. she couldn’t finish her work on time

2.The man read newspaper in order to___.

A. take in information B. enjoy pictures

C. save time D. kill time

3.The writer thinks that people seem to need a sense of ___.

A. what to read first B. how to read fast

C. what is important D. what is funny
