we know that we can work at getting along well with other people. It is possible to act in such a way that
other people will like us better.
One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything your own way or asking for the best share of
everything, including the attention of your friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in
other people.
You don"t have to be spineless (无骨气的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected
(尊重) if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (权利). But do it politely and pleasantly. One way to
develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people, to strangers and
especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you.
You cannot expect to be perfect, so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake.
Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young
people become discouraged (泄气的) when they know their unpleasant qualities-selfishness, laziness, etc.
Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.
When something is wrong, it is best to try to make it right. Perhaps you don"t like a teacher or a classmate.
Try to see why, and look at yourself, too. Make sure that you are not doing something to make others dislike
you. In time, things may turn out all right, then you simply have to learn to get along the best you can with the
situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can"t change.
B. Not thinking too much of yourself.
C. Not attracting the attention of your friends.
D. Not making friends with people who have bad points.
B. We should show others our unpleasant qualities.
C. We should stand up for our rights in any way we like.
D. We should fight against our unpleasant qualities.
B. Even if someone is not important to us, we still need to treat him politely.
C. Even if we are willing to learn from our mistakes, we are still to be blamed.
D. Even if the situation cannot be changed, we still need to worry much about it.

relationship with my husband, I did work, I didn"t hate. It was, as I said, a good life.
But there"s a saying that the good is the enemy of the best. I finally realized this one day, and began
making my best life. I changed doctors and tried a new way that could relieve (减轻) my symptoms (症
状), rather than just making them easier to deal with. I started talking more with my husband and listening
to what he had to say. And I quit (辞掉) my job and started working for myself.
I have the best life I"ve ever had. I"d call it great. It is possible there"s a better life for me, which would
then be my "best life", but for now I don"t think so. I"ve started a business I love. My husband and kids
are wonderful. I have a good friend and I"m close to my older sister who lives in town. Could it get better?
I suppose so. But for me I think this is the best life I can have right now.
Think more about your life. Where are you living? Are you in a job you just don"t mind? What makes
your life "good"? Why isn"t it great? What"s the enemy of the best and what can you do about it?
Enjoy your best life. We"re only here for a short while, and we all need to have the best possible time
we can. It"s like going to Disney World. If you spend too much time standing in line waiting for the ride,
pretty soon your time"s up. Get out of the "good" line and have your best life.

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me
some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so
much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes
on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗
帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder
than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so
that the"enemy(敌人)" would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every
morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the
buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other
strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn"t let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others.
Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes (过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the
things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
B. two
C. three
D. none
B. Wild animals and enemies
C. Moving curtains and wind

C. She always" got poor grades.

When I was a teenager, I could not wait to leave home. I did not want to follow any rules, and I was
as angry as the burning sun in the summer sky.
But then, I learned to think carefully before doing anything. Both good and bad things in the past became
parts of my life, like autumn harvests for a farmer.
Now I am old. My body is weak, but my mind has become strong and clear because of those experiences
in my younger days. I am like a winter leaf, ready to take a good rest.
These are the four seasons of my life.
