A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.When he arrived, he bounced(跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his t
18、ail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1,000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “ This is
19、a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often.” In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly looking dogs starin
20、g back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1,000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “This is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.”All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see on the faces ofthe people

D. Two Little DogsBRecently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they gradu
24、ated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tel
25、l me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that
26、 she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I cant deny that, but I dont think I would
27、 put myself through months of agony(痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in
28、 reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a require

The following practical tips on goal setting can help make it easier to set and reach goals to make a change
45、in your life. 16 when it comes to making a change, people who succeed are those who set realistic and specific goals. “ Im going to recycle all my plastic bottles, soda cans, and magazines” is a much easier goal than “ Im going to do more for the environment”, And that makes it easier to stick with.
46、Being patient is important. It takes time for a change to become an established habit. 17 Thats because your brain needs time to get used to the idea that this new thing youre doing is part of your regular routine. So you should have enough practice.Repeating a goal makes it stick. 18 By doing this
47、you can remind yourself of what you want and what youre working for. (Writing it down works too) Every time you remind yourself of your goal, youre training your brain to make it happen. 19 The key to making any change is to find the desire within yourself- you have to do it because you want it, not
48、 because a girlfriend, boyfriend coach, parent, or someone else wants you to.Roadblocks dont mean failure. Slip- ups are actually part of the learning process as you retrain your brain into a new way of thinking. 20 But thats OK- its normal to mess up or give up a few times when you are trying to ma
49、ke a change. So remember that everyone slips up and dont beat yourself up about it. Just remind your-self to get back on track.A. Pleasing other people doesnt workB.
