    Sally: an animal doctor
    What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job?
    Probably the dog that bit me. It wasn’t a big one - I don’t mind the big ones. The small ones are the worst. It gave me a very nasty bite.
    Have you ever done any other jobs?
    Yes, I did different kinds of jobs when I was a student. One summer I did fruit-picking in Spain.
    What’s the worst job you’ve ever done?
    In order to improve my English, I worked for a rich family in New York. I never had a day off and I had to do everything – cooking, cleaning, shopping- and look after their horrible children. I left after two weeks and managed to get a job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant.

    Leo: an actor
    What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job?
    So many bad things have happened-but I think my worst moment was when I read my first bad review in the newspaper. They wrote terrible things about me, and I was so upset. After that I didn’t read my reviews any more.
    Have you ever done any other jobs?
    Oh yes, it’s hard to make a living as an actor. So I’ve done lots of part-time jobs over the years. For example, I’ve worked in a shop, sold ice cream at the beach and handed out publicity flyers in the street.
    What’s the worst job you’ve ever done?
    The worst job I’ve ever done was at an egg-packing factory. Working conditions are terrible-you stand for hours at the end of a belt, putting eggs into boxes. You can’t have a break, and if you want to go to the toilet, you have to ask for permission. And worst of all, the smell was terrible- I’ve never eaten an egg since then.

    I walked out of the hotel and started making my way to the car. At the crossing, a van stopped and a man came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right      me and told me he’d escort(护送)me. Although I refused, he said that he would.
    　　During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slower, as the ground was        . When we got to the car park, I thanked him and he went away. I did not get his name and can        recognize(认出) him now. Did he stop for me? I’ll never know.

I went out and passed them my      . I told them they should take and keep it. They were surprised by my action.

    Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue (美德).
    William Bennett
    Thanksgiving Day was coming. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment (作业) — to draw a picture of      for which they were thankful.
    Most of the class might be considered poor, but still many would      the holiday with turkey and other traditional food of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subject of most of her students’ art. And they were.
    But Douglas made a(an)      kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of weak and unhappy. As other children played at     , Douglas used to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain that Douglas felt behind those sad     .
    Yes, his picture was different. When he was asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a     . Nothing else. Just an empty hand.
    His abstract (抽象的) picture caught the      of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers      turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and      people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went on — until the teacher almost forgot the young artist     .
    When the children had gone on to other assignments, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and      him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and murmured, “It’s yours, teacher.”
    She recalled the      when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How      she had said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was very      for his teacher’s hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work.
    The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’ll remember the hand that      out.

    Saying no starts small
    “All right then — just one more piece...” Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.
    It isn’t just girls. Most of us find it hard to say “no” to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.
    Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people’s lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.
    In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.
    Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.
    But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor (教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles（肌肉）. Even a little practice can strengthen（加强） our overall self-control if we do it regularly.
    You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.
    Like muscles, willpower can “get tired”. Don’t try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don’t have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good night’s sleep and by eating well.
    小题1:The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to
    A．prove that girls have weak willpower
    B．introduce the topic of willpower to the readers
    C．show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girls
    D．show the connection between willpower and success
    小题2:What can we infer from the experiment?
    A．The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.
    B．It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.
    C．The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.
    D．The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?
    A．You should have a goal every day.
    B．Good rest and proper diet can help.
    C．Willpower needs to be exercised regularly.
    D．Keep willpower from being used too much.
    小题4:What is the article mainly about?
    A．How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.
    B．How willpower affects people’s lives and how it is similar to muscles.
    C．How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.
    D．How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other
