Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.
A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was relaxing at home for a couple of quiet days. Or a roommate spends the whole weekend playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”.But, you’ve just finished it after working hard for a whole day.
Many people say “yes” to this kind of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards. Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice. “Everyone wants to be liked.” Says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risks losing the affection of the person asking for the favor. Or even a job.” The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say “no”. In fact, rejecting a request can even help to stabilize a relationship because it expresses real affection. But, for people accustomed to agreeing every request, it’s very distressing to say “no”.
Most people believe that if they say “no”, they’ll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to them. This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him, then the price of this affection is too high in the long term.”
When people saying “no”, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly until the person gets the message.

B. Sometimes people say “yes” when they really want to say “no”.

C. they don’t care about their own feeling
D. they are good-tempered
62. The underlined word “distressing” can be replace by “____”.
A. comfortable B. funny C. unnecessary D. uncomfortable
63. The best title for the passage would be ____.
A. You Need Courage to Say “No”
B. Saying “No” Is More Important Than Saying “Yes”
C. Saying “No” Would Bring Benefits
D. The Art of Saying “No”
My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 16 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 17 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 18 scoring goals.

If we close our eyes, 27 in deep thought, we can find that the things 28 us to be in truth happy, sad or moved 29 a clear meaning.
