    On March 17 the color green will spread all around the world in celebration of St Patrick’s Day. The Irish traditionally wear something green on this day, as the color is   41    Ireland. Another St Patrick’s Day tradition is for the non-Irish to    42    about the Irish.

    Usually these jokes will be about Irish stupidity, their famous    43    alcohol, or their reputation for telling tall tales.

     These characteristics are all based on the most common Irish stereotypes (成见) that the Irish are hot-tempered drinkers who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a day’s work.

     The real joke, however, is that these negative Irish stereotypes still exist. These stereotypes may have gone back to the 19th century when they started, but they’re far from    44    today -– with the exception, perhaps of the drinking.

      Today, the Irish are admired for their storytelling ability, musical talent and strong education. It’s no accident that several of the greatest writers of the 20th century were Irish. Or that many of the most famous music acts of all time, such as singer Enya and rock band U2, were Irish born and bred.

    So where did the    45    Irish stereotypes come from? They can be traced back to the 19th century, which was a very bad time to be Irish.

     At that time, Ireland was poverty-stricken and starving. Many Irish moved to the US to escape famine, but there they had to    46    occasionally with their fists for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups. It was on the US’ streets that the Irish    47    for street fighting.

     However, one bit of the Irish stereotype is still true, their love of drink. Drinking in Ireland is a predilection (偏好), but it’s not    48    something to criticize. It was the Irish   49    who created one of the world’s best-loved beers – Guinness.

    Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.

So every time she would say something  22  I disagreed with her I would just say. “Okay, 23 you want, Mom.” But I really got cold quickly. And my 24 began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s  25 ” and then went back to mop the floor.

         “Don’t you ever  26 ?” I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was  27 upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I  28  her bow important it was to me.

         At last I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to  29 . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s  30  than if fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a  31  to her.

         After my blow up, we felt like we were  32  all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the lime. We discuss things now and I always  33  my feelings with her.

         If you adopt Lose-Win as your basic  34  toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be  35  your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.
