    Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people  21  that it’s their job to show others how their positions, statements, and points of view are   22  , and that on doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow  _23 it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
    Think about it. Have you ever been  _24 by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right”? Or, has anyone you know ever   25 you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their  26  ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us   27 to be corrected. We all want our position to be   28  and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest  29  of the human heart. And those who learn to  30  are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the   31 of correcting others are often resented(怨恨 ) and   32   .
    A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice   33   others the joy of being right ---give them the glory.   34 correcting. When someone says, “ I really feel it’s important to …”, rather than breaking   35  and saying, “No, it’s more important to…“, simply let it go and allow their statement to  36  . The people in your life will become less defensive and more   37  . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have   38  . You’ll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people’s   39  , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos( 自我 ). Starting today, let others be  “ 40 ” , most of the time.

    Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon．The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper．The Beldon Post:
    FIRE AT SEABREEZE
    Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom．The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire．We say again to all our visitors： “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed．” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years．
    The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one：
    ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
    Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel．An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire．The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels．When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp．” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield．
    What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident．There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact．Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel．

    Not too long ago, a Chicago brewery (酿造厂) introduced a new beer that was supposed to be the least fattening（making people fat） on the market. It was lighter, so they called it LITE. Only two months after the new beer had been on sale, however, strange new ads appeared in the Chicago newspapers. They read ’LITE Tastes Soapy’. The public, of course, was confused. Who wanted a beer that tasted like soap（肥皂）, even if it was non-fattening?   
    The new ads weren’t talking about LITE beer, however. They were for a product of the LITE Soap Company. The president of the LITE Soap Company, Mrs Ruth Ascott, was very upset with the brewery for taking the name of her high-powered detergent (洗涤剂) and using it as the name of a new beer. LITE Soap had had the same name for 53 years. She wrote to the brewery, insisting that they should not use the word LITE in their beer ads. The brewery replied that they could—and would—because beer and soap were so different. They planned to ignore the ’LITE Tastes Soapy’ ads, since the public knew which LITE was which.
    Mrs Ascott then wanted to plan a new campaign. The ads would read ’LITE Is Wonderful for Washing Clothes’.
    小题1:It is clear that _____.
    A. the Chicago brewery was sure the soap company would add to its fame
    В. the LITE Soap Company is happy to know the name of the beer
    С. the ad ’LITE Tastes Soapy’ did harm to LITE the beer
    D. the brewery was not surprised at all to see the ad ’LITE Tastes Soapy’
    小题2:It seems that_____.
    A.  the new beer may lose weight         В.  the brewery was right
    С.  making ads is not difficult           D.  most beer makes us fat
    小题3:When the ad ’LITE Tastes Soapy’ comes out, _____.
    A. the beer sold well on the market     
    В. it confused some consumers of the beer
    С. people thought the beer was the least fattening
    D. people began to like the product from LITE Soap Company
    小题4:We may conclude that_____.
    A. neither of the two products sells well
    В. both the two companies get on very well
    С. the brewery did wrong to the LITE Soap Company
    D. it was wrong of the soap company to have LITE as her own name
    小题5:When the public read the ad in the last paragraph, they _____.
    A. might wash their clothes with the beer       В. are likely to stop to buy the beer
    С. might be more confused than ever before     D. may find out which LITE was which

    Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;
    1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
    There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
    2) How do you handle change?
    Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
    3) Do you enjoy working with computers？
    I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
    4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？
    This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
    5) How do you like to get paid?
    Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
    Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
    小题1:What is unnecessary in your job hunting?
    A．Assessing your skillsB．Going to different areas
    C．Matching your skills with a positionD．taking your personality into consideration
    小题2: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B．Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
    C．Extreme people tend to work with others.D．Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
    小题3:What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?
    A．Design.B．Changes.C．Cooperation.D．Hobbies.

    小题4:What is the best title for this passage?
    A．Lifestyles and Job PayB．Jobs and Environment
    C．Job Skills and AbilitiesD．Personalities and Jobs

    When someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what you’re hearing, and say “Thank you”．This wise advice is easy to understand yet hard to practice．I’ll give you an example from my life when I totally blew it in terms of practicing what I teach．
    In my work I travel constantly．I always put off going to the airport until the last second．My wife, Lynda, was sitting next to me in the front seat．I was racing along and not paying much attention．Lynda cried out, “Look out! There is a red light up ahead．”
    Being a trained behavioral science professional --- who teaches others the value of encouraging advice --- I naturally screamed at her, “I know there is a red light up ahead! Don’t you think I can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lynda didn’t speak to me．I wondered why she seemed mad at me．
    During the flight to New York, I did a cost-benefit analysis．I asked myself, “What was the cost of just listening when Lynda called out the warning? Zero．” I then reasoned, “What was the potential benefit? What could have been saved?” Several potential benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people．
    I landed in New York feeling ashamed of myself．I immediately called Lynda and told her my cost-benefit story．I convinced her, “The next time you help me with my driving, I am just going to say, ‘Thank you．’”
    A few months passed, and I had long forgotten the incident．Again, I was racing off to the airport, when Lynda cried out, “Look out for the red light!” I was embarrassed, and then shouted, “Thank you!”
    I’m a long way from perfect, but I’m getting better．My suggestion is that you get in the habit of asking the important people in your life how you can do things better．And be ready for an answer．Some people may tell you things like “Look out for the red light．” When this happens, remember that there is possibly some potential benefit．Then just say, “Thank you．”
