                               Listen carefully; we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free! It’s “no”. What do you ask? We’ll say it again. “No”. Sweet and simple “no”.

    Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears. “Saying “no” to others means you are saying “yes” to yourself,” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.

    Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt （内疚） or fear of punishment.  “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated （强制的）‘yes’”, she said.

    Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all,” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middle-bury. “Most people are afraid of saying “no”. My advice is to say “yes” only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”

    Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time. Other people are happy to use up your time,” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend. “No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”. “No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.

But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes.  Don’t find yourself saying “no” to everything. In return you should learn to hear “no”.”

53. The underlined part “saying ‘yes’ to yourself” in the second paragraph means ______.

    A. you can have more time to play with others

    B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy

    C. you are selfish and treat others rudely

    D. you can deal with your business as you have planned

54. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a ______.

    A. secret way     B. polite way         C. proud way        D. guilty way

55 In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that ______.

    A. they say “no” at a suitable time        B. they say “no” as much as possible

    C. they are afraid of saying “no”         D. they make others angry at them

56. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receives may be that he or she _____.

    A. enjoys a wonderful life              B. makes a lot of money

    C. faces difficulty in life                D. forgets to say “yes” in the end

I will never forget what my old headmaster told me. Normally when you are only 15years of age you do not remember most of the things that are preached by your teachers. But, this particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I get reminded of this story.

        It was a normal Monday morning at an assembly, and he was addressing the students on important things in life and about committing ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:

        An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.

        His house was filthy, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled horribly. The neighbours could not stand the smell anymore, so they summoned the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.

        The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house in anticipation to share the good news with him. When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.

        He said nothing at all: he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, got into the train, and sat at the street corner and continued to beg.

        Obviously, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing, commitment(专心，敬业). We should remain true to our course, although it may mean committing ourselves to things that people around us would normally disapprove. Just keep it in mind that commitment attracts wealth.

Why did the headmaster tell us the story?

      A. To enjoy ourselves.

      B. To teach us how to make money.

      C. To tell us the importance of commitment.

      D. To tell us not to look down upon beggars.

According to the passage which of the following is true?

      A. The old man made a living by begging.

      B. The old man was excited to be a millionaire.

      C. The old man became a millionaire by begging every weekday.

      D. The old man planned to became a millionaire.

Why did the police officer clean the old man’s house?

      A. Because the old man hired them to do so.

      B. Because they wanted to know how much money the old man had begged.

      C.Because the old man wanted to live comfortably.

      D. Because the neighbours could not bear the smell coming out of the oldman’s house.

What can we learn from the passage?

      A. Where there is a will, there is a way.

      B. Keep the general goal in sight while tackling daily tasks.

      C. Commitment attracts wealth.

      D. Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.
