One morning, my newspaper wasn’t delivered on time. Since I always brought it to work, it upset me that I would have to pick one up on my way to work. After breakfast, I was already running late, but figured I could make it if I hurried.
As I pulled into the parking lot of the store, I noticed a young man in a wheelchair who seemed to be struggling. “Someone else will stop and help him,” I thought.
However, no one stopped. I got out, and walked over to see what the trouble was.
“Is there anything I can do?” I asked. It was then that I noticed he wasn’t able to speak, and was still struggling with the chair.
I looked down at the chair and noticed that the clamps (夹具) holding the electronic keyboard had apparently become loose causing the equipment to slip down, out of his reach.
I pulled it back into place and then re-tightened the clamps. He hit a key on the keyboard. An electronic voice told me, “Thank you.” He then found the control that steered (操纵) the chair, turned and left.
I got back in my car and headed off to work, completely forgetting my newspaper. As I drove, I felt a deep gratitude (感激). I was truly blessed to have the physical abilities that allow me to live a normal life. Here was this young man who relied on machines to get around and communicate. He probably dreamed about doing all the things that I thought were normal and simple.
It’s funny; fifteen minutes before that happened, I was whining because my morning paper hadn’t arrived on time. I was glad I helped the young man, because he helped me gain a new viewpoint on everything I had in my life.
1.Why did the author stop at the store?
A. To do his job. B. To have breakfast.
C. To buy a newspaper. D. To drive a colleague to work.
2.What was the young man trying to reach?
A. The clamps. B. The car key.
C. The wheelchair. D. The electronic keyboard.
3.What does the underlined word “whining” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Complaining. B. Worrying.
C. Arguing. D. Crying.
4.What did the author learn from the experience?
A. Treasure what we have. B. Treat the disabled nicely.
C. Technology has changed our lives. D. Don’s get annoyed over small things.

Do you have a hard time saying no to others? Do you say "yes" when you really mean no? You're not alone. Many people end up saying "yes" to something they don't really want to do for several reasons. It is necessary to learn how to say "no".
"I'm sorry. I just don't have the time at the moment."1.After all, your own work comes first. The other person will understand, especially if they also have a busy job.
"I don't think I'm the best person to help you out. Why don't you try...?" If you think you can't be of any help then simply say no. 2.Recommend that person instead. This is a good one to use at work.
"Let me get back to you." Sometimes you first have to check your schedule before you can make a promise. 3. This will waste the other person's time, which could have been spent finding someone else who would say yes.
"I would rather refuse than say sorry later." 4.The other person will appreciate your honesty. You could even say, "I'd rather say no now than I'm sorry later." However, you must never offer to do something in the future if you don't mean it. This will turn out to be much worse than simply saying no in the first place.
"No". This is the simplest and most direct way. Simply say "no". 5.We spend so much time thinking of good excuses when being direct is often the simplest and best way.
A. There is no doubt you have said no a few times.
B. If you are too busy then let the other person know.
C. There is no need to add any derails unless asked for.
D. You might be asked to do something when you are busy.
E. Maybe you know someone else who would be better suited for the task.
F. When you know you won't be able to do the best job you can, simply say so.
G. But it's not a good idea to say this when you really mean no in the first place.
