27、 As a people-pleaser, you care about pleasing other people so much because you want to be liked and don't want other people to think ill of you. It's a bad, never ending way of life, because people are always going to ask things of you.
Here's how you can stop being such a people-pleaser:
Wait!
Next time someone texts or emails a request, wait to reply. Wait up to 24 hours if you can! Show people how to treat us. And train them on what to expect from us.
Provide a choice
For those who want to say no in a gentle way, instead of giving an excuse, you can provide a choice. It's more useful too! Something like," I'd love to help you pick out a new sofa but not this weekend. Lucy has an excellent eye for sofas." is much more helpful.
Realize you have a choice
More times than you think, you can say no. Stop for a second when a choice comes up that feels uncomfortable. Then decide if, finally, a yes or no feels like freedom--and choose that.
K(no)w it gets easier
Saying no needs practice. The more you do it, the more used to it you become and the less people expect from you. Once you say you are unavailable a few times, people stop asking so much from you.
Recognize you can't please everybody
Other people will always control our lives if we let them. You can't please everyone. And a rich, wonderful life has lots of those "yes" moments--as well as plenty of loving "nos".
【1】The passage is written for the people ________.
A.who like satisfying everyone
B.who always make requests
C.who need to buy sofas
D.who want more freedom
【2】What are you advised to do when someone makes a request through email?
A.Pretend not to see it.
B.Give an immediate answer.
C.Teach him a good lesson.
D.Avoid giving a quick reply.
【3】Giving someone a choice can make saying no ________.
A.less helpful
B.more important
C.less believable
D.more acceptable
【4】What will people do if you say no a few times?
A.Lose touch with you.
B.Leave you immediately.
C.Stop asking you so much.
D.Consider you to be impolite.
【5】How many suggestions does the author give us?
A.3.
B.4.
C.5.
D.6.
28、 How to Keep a Relationship Healthy and Strong
Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on having a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.
【1】 Don’t hide things from them; don’t lie. Getting them to trust you is the most important element (要素) in any relationship. So please be honest and they’ll learn to open up to you.
Give them respect. Now respect isn’t just simply treating her or him nicely. There’s a lot more to it. 【2】 Basically, learn to study your partners’ moods, wants and needs. Don’t just think about yourself; think about what your partner needs out of it as well.
Make sure you are encouraging to your partners. Always be willing to help them and give them confidence and support at the same time. 【3】 This is an important step in a relationship. Your partner has to be able to count on you when needed.
Have a good sense of humor with them. Laughter is the key to happiness. Laugh a lot with them, joke with them. Laughter may seem silly, but it’s the secret to a lot in life. It will keep the sparks alive. 【4】
Make sure the communication is good. This goes along with trust, but always communicate how you feel, even if it’s something that upsets you. Instead of screaming, talk to them. 【5】 It’s important to communicate this to them, not keep it bottled up.
A.Show them your personality.
B.Don’t start to ignore them and make them feel unwanted.
C.Make them feel you are someone they can truly depend on.
D.Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting.
E.Be an honest person with them.
F.You have to learn to respect their likings.
G.If they did something that made you unhappy,tell them about it in a friendly manner.
29、Open Hearts to life
We often close ourselves off when unfortunate events happen in our live. We try to reduce the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn't exist, 【1】We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life and let the world soften us.
Whenever we start to let our fears and seriousness get the best of us, we should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior. The items listed below are the ways you can open your heart more fully and completely.
Breathe into pain
Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away.【2】 When we run away from sadness, it will get stronger and more real. By making use of our breath, we soften our experiences and allow more newness and greater experiences to blossom.
【3】
I know we’ve all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our "gut" impulses: when asked, we can’t explain the reasons behind doing so--just a deep knowing that it had to get done. To start this process, take few deep breaths and then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?”
See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.
Spend time alone.
For most of our lives we’re surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, peers, family members, and loved ones, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone? When you spend time in solitude, you're free from the influences of other people, and can truly open yourself and explore whatever you’d like. See where your thoughts take you.【4】
It might be painful or even scary at first, but by opening yourself up to these new feelings, you’ll add a whole new layer of depth, experience, and understanding into your life.
Get outside of yourself
This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip, but in reality, they actually work hand-in-hand. After you’ve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it's time to share that -not through telling others, but through being with others.
When you’re in a group of people, try to give them your full energy and attention so you can understand them just as you did yourself.【5】Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.
A.Embrace the uncomfortable.
B.Ask your heart what it wants
C.In the end, though, we can't hide from ourselves
D.We should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior
E.When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it.
F.The golden ticket here is to not let yourself become distracted; just see what it's like to be alone.
G.Appreciate their uniqueness, as if they are an extension of you.
