43、ns.BMany years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register I sai
44、d hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to
45、 my friends. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their
46、holiday meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that Id left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked
47、over and found two salesmen in the show room.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.

52、low. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine.” Says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers. Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”“Examine the extended
53、 family, and youll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. Its an inheritable trait.” Say Russell Brakley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particular bossy can gradually gain dominance when they sense their
54、parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether its inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands of the young isnt healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children,
55、 he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” Its the parents role to provide that protection. When a “boss child” doesnt learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbe
56、nding child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“ I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley.

61、ds can be awkward and challenging. However, it doesnt have to be so hard. Try a few of these simple tips, and youll be on your way in no time.81. _Other people like to know theyre being heard and that their ideas are appreciated. By being a good listener, you let others know that you value what they
62、 have to say and, by extension, who they are.You can make eye contact while others are speaking, and then ask a question or two about what theyre saying. If the conversation goes well, ask the person for his or her phone number or email, then make plans to hang out.82. _Everyone loves being encourag
63、ed. Noticing something you like about someone and sharing it with him/her is a great way to establish a connection and start a conversation.When giving a compliment, be honest and genuine.

Who seems funny or interesting? Which people in the room have you never talked to? Make a mental note and spend a
65、 little time getting to know these people face-to-face.84. _Having an interest in common with another person gives both of you something to talk about. No matter if that interest is reading, rugby or rocknroll, pursuing it with other people is fun and gives you a sense of meaning and belonging. Club
66、s and teams also teach you how to solve problems and help you bond with others.85._A strong desire to help others is attractive to most people. Its also extremely appealing to colleges and scholarship programs. Channeling this desire into a volunteer project is great way to meet others, build commun

79、s the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life an
80、d there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a
81、 person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemica
82、lly and physically. In fact we make the choice between “fight” or “flight” and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, however, little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction
83、 lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered.Questions:14. Why are people finding less and less time to relax?15.
