21、Choices contribute to success
The direction of our lives is determined by the choices we make every day. The following choices will contribute to personal success along with the ability to achieve financial freedom.
Choose to be positive
A positive mental attitude will put you miles ahead of your peers.【1】. It is more valuable than skills. Choose a positive attitude and things will start to work for you.
【2】
If you don’t know what your bad habits are, your friends and family can always tell you. Take the big ones first, then make every effort to break them and always replace them with new positive ones.
Choose to work smarter
Many people think their lives are out of balance and that they don’t have enough time to do everything they want to.【3】. Therefore, learning some good time management techniques, such as setting up a schedule and sticking to it, will make your life flow better.
Choose to give your work a sense of purpose
Helping and encouraging other people will not only make your life be more meaningful, but it will also make you more money. If you put your efforts into helping others, then the financial part of life takes care of itself.【4】.
Choose to sow more than you harvest
【5】, but our lives will be better as we become givers and serve the world as givers. You want to learn to become unselfish with yourself and learn to give your time, your money, and, of course, your love.

E．Not all the people in the world are selfish by nature

22、 Even if you wake up every day with a perfect smile on your face, it can easily be ruined by the difficult people you meet at your workplace. You can’t avoid them because they are already part of your daily life. They make your day stressful which gives you a terrible feeling to leave the work immediately. 【1】 I will share a few effective strategies which will help you to deal with these difficult people.
Don’t take it personally.
Difficult people see others’ opinion as conflicting (冲突) to their belief. Their behaviour is already a habit to them so if you take it personally, they may even plan to make your life more terrible. Remember the problem is not only with you.【2】
Listen to what they say.
Sometimes what difficult people want is someone’s attention and love. There are also difficult people who don’t even speak but will just throw you with sullen ( 愠怒的) looks to make you feel uneasy. 【3】 The thought of you standing there and waiting for a response will make them feel uncomfortable and they will just decide to speak up. If they do, listen carefully and analyze it.
Don’t get discouraged.
I have already told you that it would be really difficult for you to change their behaviour but never give up. It should be you affecting them and not them affecting you.【4】 They would not interfere (干扰) with you again. If they realize that, you can already enjoy your stay in the office or in the school.
【5】
Instead of dealing with their pessimistic attitude every day, try to look at what advantages these people have. That way, they will start to like and appreciate you. Also, they won’t give you cold stares any more.
A.See what’s good in these people.
B.Choose topics that you both like.
C.Difficult people are sometimes suffering from low self-esteem (自尊).
D.If this happens, ask them and wait for a minute until he or she speaks.
E.What’s worse is that they can even make your enjoyable day unhealthy.
F.There must be many people who feel annoyed with their unpleasant behaviour.
G.Once they feel that you are different and they can’t beat you, they’ll learn to become distant.
23、From Now on, Stop Wasting Food
Who hasn’t felt the shame of a refrigerator clean? You paid money for your leftovers, and now you have to throw them away.
Take heart. You’re far from the only person to waste food and money. And unlike more ambitious money fixes, reducing food waste is relatively simple and sure to pay off. In fact, a person could save about $370 annually on average by wasting less food. 【1】 . Most food we throw away ends up in landfills, which release harmful gas. Less waste, less gas.
So make this the year you don’t have to come eye-to-eye with another rotting food. Here’s how to waste less food:
【2】
“Get a reality check on what’s going to waste in your fridge,” says Cassie, program manager at Stop Waste Organization. Evaluate and remove all items that are spoiled. 【3】 , rather than feel bad about it. “Ask yourself, ‘Why am I throwing this food away?’ ” she says.
Did you buy an ingredient you never used? 【4】 . Did you forget about leftovers or produce that’s gone bad? Stop Waste Organization recommends designating part of the fridge to food that’s quick to spoil. Label that section with an “Eat This First” sign.
Store foods to last
【5】 . Google “how to store produce” and you’ll learn that some foods should be refrigerated (kiwis, cucumbers), while others shouldn’t (bananas, avocados). And some fruits, like apples, release a gas that ripens other produce faster.
A．Try to learn from the waste
B．Start with a fridge cleanout
C．Purchase less and save more money
D．Reducing food waste also helps the planet
E．More planning before shopping could help
F．You bought the right groceries and now make sure they stay fresh
G．Remember to store all foods in the refrigerator to help them last longer
24、Changsha,
Hunan Province
May 6, 2010
Dear editor,
Under China’s current educational system, there are those who do nothing but study. They of course are thought to be model students.
But I feel that there is another type of student who, perhaps not as diligent (勤奋的) as the first type, uses his time more efficiently and achieves a lot academically (学业上).
Last year, a classmate of mine was accepted by a top university. It surprised all of us. It was because, unlike most of us, he didn’t spend too much of his time studying.
When I asked him the secret of his success, he said that the key was properly and scientifically arranging his time.
“ I spent a lot of time keeping fit and as a result, I was able to better concentrate (集中) on my class work.”
The moral of the story is: it isn’t necessary to sit at your desk all day long to get high academic (学术) grades.
Yours,
Zhang Zishu
