A
My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our three children.We had a wonderful time.Besides,I experienced something that left a deep impression on me.
Our children were excited about the attraction where children could drive the cars.They were so delighted that I decided to stand beside the track to get pictures of everyone as they drove past on the track.
As I waited for them to drive by,I noticed a car with a father and his son who was about 7 years old.They rolled down the hill at the beginning,but suddenly the car stopped.The young driver looked nervous,“I can't do it.” His father quietly said,“Yes,you can.”
“No.I can't!” “Yes,you can,son.”
The little guy was almost in tears,“I can't!” With deep patience,the father said,“Son,you can do this.I'm going to help you.” A moment later,with the father helping his son,the two went smoothly (顺利地) on their way down the track.
The scene brought tears to my eyes and it reminded me of my dear father.Just like that little boy's dad,my father used to say the same words to me.Every time things got hard or when I experienced setbacks along the way,he would say,“Michelle,you can do this.I'm going to help you.”
Time and time again the words greatly encouraged me on the journey.I'm aware that
I can't do things under my own power,but the words “Yes,you can” come beside me and give me wisdom and strength.As I benefited (受益) a lot from them,I often tell my children never to say “I can't” easily when they meet something difficult.

I began smoking at 13,with a friend in the evenings when we were out.I never thought of the damage it brought me.But I had a bad cough after a cold,and my teeth weren't as white as my sister's,who never smoked.I no longer played any sports.Since all my friends smoked,I never felt different.
I met and married my husband Paul when we were 22,both smoking like chimneys (烟囱).I had two children by the time I was 26,and life went on as normal.We smoked around our children,never thinking it would be doing them any harm.They both begged us to stop when they learned about the hazards of smoking.We just rolled our eyes at each other.
My parents quit smoking,and my aunts quit smoking,but they were older.I had lots of time to quit in my life.Paul's mother died of a heart attack at only 55,after suffering two diseases caused by smoking.And still we smoked.
At the age of 36,I had a child with a breathing problem.We moved outside to smoke,as she had such trouble breathing,and we didn't want to add to that!
Then my father died a few years later of cancer throughout his body.Still I smoked,even as he asked me on his deathbed to try to stop.I did mean to,but I thought that I had too many worries to deal with.How would I face them without a smoke? Little did I know then that the smoking was only adding to my inability to deal with trouble,clouding my whole world in smoke.
Then Paul had an extremely serious problem in his heart because of a condition caused by smoking.Finally,I decided to quit smoking.I knew I'd suffer greatly too if I kept smoking.Paul decided to join me,of course.He had no choice if he didn't want to die.
Luckily,we made it.Now I have enough energy,a joy in living,and more confidence than ever before.

Ⅲ.阅读七选五
The art of conversations takes practice,but is not as hard as you might think. 1
Be around confident people.
Being around confident people makes you feel good.The other person's enthusiasm makes all the conversation participants feel confident and comfortable.
2 If it's someone who you work with,or go to school with,look at their department website,or see if the person is on any social networks before talking to him for the first time.The information you get can be a good starting point for conversations.
Ask questions.
What do they like to do? What sort of things have they done in their lives? What is happening to them now? What did they do today or last weekend? 3 However,
try to space out your questions or they'll feel like you are interrogating (审问) them,which is very bad and closes off friendships.
Listen.
Pay attention to what is being said.Make movements to indicate that you are still listening.If you listen well,the other person's statements will suggest questions for you to ask. 4 They will often not realize that it was they who did most of the talking,and you get the credit for being a good conversationalist.
Know when the conversation is over.Even the best conversations will eventually run out of steam or be ended by an interruption.Smile if you're leaving,tell them it was nice to talk to them,and say goodbye. 5
A.Ask as many questions as you can think of,including their age,income and marriage.
B.Ending on a positive note will leave a good impression.
C.Find out about the person you will be talking to before you actually talk to him,if you can.
D.Take a special course on making conversations so that you can communicate with others better.
E.Allow the other person to do most of the talking.
F.Identify things about them that you might be interested in hearing about,and politely ask questions.
G.With some patience and these steps,you can learn to relax and enjoy a great conversation.
