　　Why I Don’t Spare “Spare Change”

　　“Poor but honest．” “The deserving(值得帮助的)poor．” These words always come to my mind when I think of “the poor”．But I also think of people who, perhaps through alcohol or drugs, have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure．Perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction really are “diseases”, as many people say, but my own feeling－based．Of course, not on any serious study－is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor”．And that is largely why I don’t give spare change to beggars．

　　But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving”．Deserving what?My spare change?Or simply the government’s assistance?It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to make contributions to charity, but if I give some change to a beggar, am I making a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone, or, am I perhaps simply encouraging someone not to get help?Or, maybe even worse, am I supporting a cheat?

　　If one believes in the value of private charity, one can either give to needy people or to charitable organizations．In giving to a beggar one may indeed be helping a person who badly needs help, but one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy person．In giving to an organization, on the other hand, one can feel that one’s money is likely to be used wisely．True, facing a beggar one may feel that this particular unfortunate person needs help at this moment－a cup of coffee or a sandwich－and the need will not be met unless I put my hand in my pocket right now．But I have come to think that the beggars whom I meet can get along without my spare change, and indeed perhaps they are actually better off for not having money to buy alcohol or drugs．

　　I know nothing about these beggars, but it’s my impression that they simply prefer begging to working．I am not generalizing about street people．I am talking about the about whom I actually meet．That’s why I do not give “spare change, ” and I don’t think I will in the future．

To be able to motivate oneself, or self-motivate, occurs when a person has the willingness to do something and is internally(内在地) motivated to do it．

Sometimes it’s very difficult to get ourselves moving．The natural tendency is to postpone．Life just seems to get in the way! There is a job to go to, groceries to do, television to watch—whoops! I guess we get pretty good at finding excuses to escape getting started on goals like an exercise routine or reading a new book．The fact is that we are creatures of routine and habit．So what can we do to motivate ourselves to accomplish our goals?

Here are some tips on how to get moving:

Decide what you want．It’s hard to motivate an aimless mind．Set a goal and decide how you are going to go about it．Then break it down into smaller sections so it’s easier to handle and less overwhelming．（势不可挡）

Keep track of your progress．Keep a log or journal where you can measure how much you have accomplished．Looking at it can also motivate you to keep pushing ahead．

Post motivating pictures or slogans within your sight．It is always inspiring to see pictures of people who have accomplished what you’re going for．It makes it attainable and realistic．Likewise, little slogans like “go for it” or “just do it” can give you the little support you need．

Sometimes we forget what we set out to do and a little reminder is all we need to be revitalized (激活) and focus on the end result．If you remind yourself to go for the desired promotion, it will re-establish why you are doing what you’re doing．

Make it a habit．Once you have accomplished your objective, e．g．becoming an early riser, keep it up so that it’s second nature to you and you don’t have to think about it anymore．

1.According to the author, some people fail to achieve their goals because ________．

A．they don’t have enough desire

B．their life is filled with routine work

C．they benefit from the force of habit

D．they naturally put off forming new habits

2.It can be inferred from the underlined sentence that ________．

A．self-motivation needs repeated self-reminding of one’s goal

B．in modern society people tend to become forgetful

C．when we forget our goal, our life becomes meaningless

D．we can achieve our goal only by focusing on the end result

3.To get moving on your goal, you can do the following EXCEPT ________．

A．keep a diary to clearly judge your distance to your goal

B．make self-improvement your second nature

C．forget your aim and revitalize yourself with slogans

D．support yourself by hanging inspiring pictures in your house

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　Some people who find themselves facing a problem react by just giving up．But it is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by making excuses for failures．You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through：meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities．

　　If you are unhappy about something, face it．Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against．Then see if you can “put your finger” on the cause of your unhappiness．

　　In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem．But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack．

　　For example, a boy wanted to be a debater(辩论家)．When he tried out for the debating team as a freshman, the coach thought he was hopeless．He was shy; he had a high-pitched voice; and his posture(体态)was poor．Although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of every opportunity to debate．He studied successful speakers and evaluated his own weaknesses and advantages．Then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked at developing good posture and at speaking clearly．By his junior year, he made the school debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state．He achieved his goal because he had made a direct attack upon his problem．

　　Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic(现实的)in judging situations．Sometimes it is necessary to change either the method or the goal．

　　A boy who wants to be a great football player may not be too strong and not quite fast enough for football．In this situation, becoming a great football player may be an unreasonable goal for him．However, he may become outstanding in tennis or golf, and satisfy his desire to take part in sports．

　　A girl who is not good-looking may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and so she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further．In this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal．

　　So, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do．

(1)

From the first paragraph, we can infer that ________．
[　　]
A．	not all people will meet the problems that they can't solve
B．	not all people can solve the problems that they meet
C．	all people will not give up finding the solutions to problems

(2)

The underlined phrase “are up against” in the second paragraph could be best replaced by ________．
[　　]
A．	are dealing with
B．	are faced with
C．	meet with
D．	look after

(3)

A boy has talent in teaching, but he didn't take the course of teaching, what method will he use to solve his problem?
[　　]
A．	Changing the goal．
B．	Judging situations．
C．	Changing his tactics．
D．	Making a direct attack．

(4)

Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (①－⑧ stand for “paragraph 1－paragraph 8”)
[　　]
A．
B．
C．
D．

(5)

Which of the following is not right?
[　　]
A．	When we meet difficulties, it is the best to give a direct attack．
B．	If a girl is not good looking, she'd better change her style of appearance．
C．	Whenever we face difficulty, we can find a way out, whatever it is．
D．	Both a direct attack and a good analysis of the reality are good for solving problems．
