A Master was walking through the fields one day when a young man, a troubled look upon his face, approached him.
“On such a beautiful day, it must be difficult to stay so 36 ,”the Master said.
“Is it? I hadn’t 37 ,” the young man said , turning to look around.
“ 38 me if you like.”The Master walked to the edge of a 39 pond.
“Please sit down,” the Master invited, patting the 40 next to him. “Now, find a small stone, please,” the Master 41 .
“What?”
“A stone. Please find a small stone and throw it in the pond.”
Searching 42 himself, the young man got a small stone and threw it as 43 as he could. “Tell me what you see,” the Master 44 .
Not missing a single 45 , the man looked at the water’s surface. “ I see ripples(涟漪).’’ Where did the ripples 46 from?”
“From the stone I threw in the pond, Master.”
“Please 47 your hands into the water and stop the ripples,” the Master asked.
In 48 ,the young man stuck his hands in the water as a ripple neared, only to cause 49 ripples. The young man was now 50 confused.
“Were you able to stop the ripples with your hands?” the Master asked.
“No, of course not.”
“ 51 you had stopped the stone from 52 the water to begin with? ” The Master smiled. “Next time you are 53 with your life, catch the stone before it hits the water. Do not spend time trying to 54 what you have done but 55 change what you are going to do before you do it.” The Master looked kindly upon the young man.

短文大意：
大师在田野中行走，这时，一个满面愁容的年轻人向他走来。
“天气这么好，神情一直保持这么严肃一定不容易。”大师说道。
“是吗？我没注意到。”年轻人一边回答，一边转身环顾四周。他的目光从周遭的景物上扫过，但却似乎无所触动。
“如果你愿意，就和我一起走走吧。”大师走到一湾平静的池水旁。“请坐。”大师用手拍了拍身旁的地面，招呼着年轻人。
“ 现在， 请找一块小石头来。”大师吩咐道。
“什么？”“一块石头。请找块小石头并把它投进池塘里。
”年轻人在身旁四处搜寻，抓了块鹅卵石使劲向远处投进了池塘。“告诉我你看到了什么。”大师询问道。
年轻人睁大了眼睛目不转睛地盯着水面，唯恐错过一丝细节。“我看到一圈圈涟漪。”“这些涟漪从何而来呢？”
“是我投入池中的石子激起的，大师。”
“请把手伸到水里，止住那些涟漪。”大师说。虽然不明白大师的想法，但当涟漪接近池边时，年轻人仍把手探入水中，却只激起了更多的涟漪。年轻人现在已经完全陷入困惑之中。事情会怎样发展下去呢？
“你刚才用手将涟漪平息了吗？”大师问。
“没有，当然没有。”
“如果你一开始没有把鹅卵石抛进水中，会怎样呢？”大师一笑，年轻人看上去并没因此而感到不快。
“今后你在生活中遇到不快时，在‘石头’入‘水’前就要去阻止它。不要费时试图去补救已经做过的事，而要在行动之前改变自己原本的打算。”大师慈祥地看着年轻人。

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
Recite and repeat in conversation.
When you hear a person's name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you've been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names.
Admit you don't know.
Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them w ill feel sympathy if you say. "I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?"
Use associations.
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng - tall, black hair." To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others - an automatic review for you.
How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?
A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed.
C. They will be delighted. D. They will be discouraged.
If you can't remember someone's name, you may _______.
A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie
C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you
When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember ______
A. all their names B. a couple of names first
C. just their last names D. as many names as possible
What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Tips on an important social skill. B. Importance of attending parties.
C. How to make use of associations. D. How to recite and repeat names.
