It was already half past seven and I was running late again for the dinner appointment with my wife, Eleanor. We had       to meet at the restaurant at seven o'clock. I felt a little uneasy, but to my     ,I had a good excuse: A business meeting had        and I'd wasted no time getting to the dinner.
When I arrived at the      ,1 apologized and told Eleanor I didn't mean to be late. She screamed, "You never mean to." Well, I        tell she was angry. "I'm sorry but it was not      ," I said. Then I told her about the business meeting.        , my explanation seemed to make things worse, which started to drive               mad as well.
Several weeks later, when I        the situation to my friend Ken Hardy, he smiled, "You       a classic mistake. You're stuck        your own way of thinking. You didn't        to be late. But that's not the point. What is        in your communication is how your lateness affected Eleanor." He pointed out that I focused on the intention       Eleanor focused on the result. Thus,         of us felt misunderstood and crazy.
Thinking more about Ken's words, I         recognized the root cause of such disagreement. It's the result of the action that really       .I should have started the conversation by expressing         my actions affected Eleanor and         the discussions about my intention for later, much later and even never.
Later on, after talking to Eleanor and really        her experience of the results
of my lateness, I've managed to be on time a lot more frequently.

Maybe you know the saying, “When you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you.” One wise man had a version of this       when he said, “Don't focus on the dust in your brother's eye while       the dirt in your own eye.” Why do we do this? Because criticisms are always        ourselves. When we criticize others, we do not expose them, but expose ourselves. We      our own weakness and smallness.
A story in the old tales       the difference in wisdom between the good and the bad. Once a king        both Nelson and Dick. The king asks Nelson to go out into the kingdom and       after finding someone less qualified than himself. Then he asks Dick to go out into the kingdom and return after finding someone       than himself.
When Fool Dick returns, he tells the king that he couldn't find anyone better than himself.       Wise Nelson says that he was       to find anyone less qualified than himself on his return.
Moral of the story is something about human      . Good people always look at their own       and faults and consider themselves less qualified than others. Whereas bad people always look at the shortcomings and faults of others and       themselves more qualified than others.

After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my  1  for greater contact with local students,  2  I initiated(开始) the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy,  3   and sometimes snobby (势利的) people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.
After  4    the problem, I put on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face. I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid to  5    them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.
A side-effect of my  6    confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the  7    of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and  8    behind my back calling me a weirdo(古怪的人) melted  into tears. Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.
It finally worked  My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 9    and active. Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I had real   friends. Instead of dragging myself to school and  10   to be happy, I was truly happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.
From my  11    in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your  12    dreams.

Most interviewees are probably aware that interviewers are not supposed to ask them certain questions. There are some areas of special  in selection interviewing. Our goal here is to point out these     areas of questions and to suggest strategic ways to      them as an interviewee.
Courts have     that it's none of the company's business how many children an applicant has; or whether he or she is married,    or divorced. In this area, if you are asked an illegal question, you can give a general     ; saying elegantly: "I would prefer to stick to job-related questions:" Or you can be more     : "Are children a requirement for this position?"
   , many instances of illegal interview questions occur in' the course -of  getting-to-know-you small talk during an interview and aren't    by the interviewer as an invasion(侵犯)of your privacy. But innocent or not, illegal interview questions can     a company in court when a job seeker    discrimination in the interview process.
To    age discrimination in hiring, courts have disallowed these sorts of questions: "How old are you?" "When did you graduate from high school?" and so on. Managers get in trouble here when they talk about the average age of their workforce in    to -the candidate: "Our typical employee is probably 8 to 10 years older than you. Do you expect problems managing people older than yourself?" You can imagine the later court     . Manager: "But, Your Honor, I never asked her age!”Candidate: "My age seemed to be one of his key    about my ability to manage." And, of course, you can avoid all these disputes(争执)by simply answering your employer: "Age has    been a consideration for me in my work life."
In another area of sex, an employer cannot ask questions about the person's gender(性别)  the job specifications strictly require either a male or a female. The burden of proof is on the   to demonstrate(论证)that only a man or a woman can do the job. Employers should be cautious: Courts and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have interpreted very    the concept that only one gender can perform a particular job.

Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces. Each of us must choose which we want to       our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or      . It’s our decision: From which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in       or down in desperation? I believe in the upward look. I choose to       the positive and skip right over the negative.
An optimistic attitude is not a luxury; it’s a(n)      . The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people.      , negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations       themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy (预言). Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live.
  Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n)       question, but I felt fine and told him so. “You don’t look well,” he replied. This       me completely by surprise. A little       confidently, I told him that I had       felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.
  By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little      . About a block away, I      over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I affected with jaundice(黄疸)? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(恶心). Did I have a bad liver? Had I       some rare disease?
On another beautiful day, when I went into that gas station, feeling       again, I figured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright, distasteful      , and the light reflecting       the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis(肝炎)! I wondered how many other folks had       the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total       change my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single       observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.
The only thing more powerful than negativism is a word of optimism and hope. When a whole culture adopts an upward look, incredible things can be accomplished.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy,        becomes unhappy. This        from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy        their attention to the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the        things. They are,       , continually unsatisfied. By their words, they complain about the pleasure of society, offend many people, and        themselves disagreeable (不受欢迎的) everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up        by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown        its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are        its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and        them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious        in life, since it causes deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most        politeness and respect. This        puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining        advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step        speak a word to favor their hopes. If they cause themselves public objections (反对), no one will        or excuse them, and many        join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,        worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not,        will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,        when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has  me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earlier  , my mother was telling me“Don’t watch the  when you say, ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look at the person in the  , so he’ll know you  it. ”

My mother thus made the key point of a(n)  apology: It must be direct. You must never  to be doing something else. You do not  a pile of letters while apologizing to a person  in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your  . You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat  , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad  .
One of the important things we should do for an  apology is a readiness to  the responsibility for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no  for the other person to  us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling  about themselves. That, after all, is the  of every apology. It  little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault. Answering for one’s  encourages others to take their share of the blame.
