Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide． 

One very cold, wet night at about 3 : 30 a．m, there was a   36   at the front door of our house．A young man,   37   from head' to toe, explained that he had   38   out of petrol about 30 km up the road．He had left his pregnant （怀孕的） wife and his two children  39   at the car and said that he would hitchhike （搭便车） back．

As soon as I  40   a can with petrol, I took him back to his car, where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both  41   .They were wet and cold．I suggested that they   42   me back．

Before leaving, I had turned the heater   43   in the roadhouse, so when we went in, it was nice and  44   ．While the little ones played and ran  45    ,1 prepared bread and butter for the children, 46 hot chocolate for the adults．

It was about five a．m．before they  47   ．The young fellow asked me how much he should pay me and I told him that the petrol   48   had shown $ 15．He   49   offered to pay call-out fee, but I wouldn’t accept it．

About a month later,! received a  50   from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to   51    to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time．It  52   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most  53    person in the company．

In his letter, he thanked me again and   54   me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station．In this   55   , a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefit．

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.

A girl named Jenny once told me about her 　1 in the world of Lose Win during her eighth – grade year before she finally broke 　2 .

My 　3 with my mom all started one day 　4 she said to me sarcastically (讽刺地), “Wow, you’re surely lively today.” I 　5 it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close myself off from her and never 　6 back to her. So every time she would say something 　7 I disagreed with her, I would just say, “Okay, 　8 you want, Mom.” But it really got cold quickly. And my 　9 began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s 　10 ” and then went back to mopping the floor.

“Don’t you even 　11 ?” I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was 　12 upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I 　13 her how important it was to me.

At last, I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to 　14 . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s 　15 than if fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a 　16 to her.

After my blow – up, it was really rocky for a while. We felt like we were 　17 all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always 　18 my feeling with her.

If you adopt Lose – Win as your basic 　19 toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be 　20 your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.
