    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　One man tells of driving on a long and lonely road, the last 65 miles of it unpaved, in order to watch Indian dances in the state of Arizona．After the dances, he returned to his car only to find that it had a flat tire．He put on the spare and drove to the only service station in that town．

    　　“Do you fix flats?” he inquired of the attendant．

    　　“Yes, ” came the answer．

    　　“How much do you charge?” he asked．

    　　With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, “What difference does it make?”

    　　This is what has been called a “Hobson's choice” ．A Hobson's choice is a situation that forces a person to accept whatever is offered or go without．

    　　According to Barbara Berliner, the phrase was inspired by sixteenth－century entrepreneur(企业家)Thomas Hobson．There was no choice by the customer－it was strictly Hobson's choice．

    　　But often we really have a choice, and the choice does make a difference．We may not always believe it．We may feel as if we have no choice, but almost always there is a choice in the matter．And when we realize that we do most things by choice, then we are taking control of our own lives．

    　　Someone challenged me to try an experiment that completely changed my perspective(看法，观点)．“For the next seven days, ” he said, “remove the words ‘I have to’ from your vocabulary and say ‘I choose to’．Don't say, ‘I have to work late tonight’．Instead, say, ‘I choose to work late’．When you choose to do it, you take control of your life．Instead of saying ‘I have to stay home’, try ‘I choose to stay home’．The way you spend your time is your choice．You are responsible．You have control．”

    　　In just seven days I was no longer saying “I have to”and I felt better about my decisions．I learned that there is very little in my life I actually have to do．You and I decide to do certain things because we believe that it will be for the best．When we remove “I have to” from our vocabularies, we take control．

    　　Try it for a week and you see what happens．I think you'll see it's a change for the better．
