I’m really pleasing that you are coming to China to study the language and culture. Live in China might seem a little strange at first, but you’ll soon fit it. I think the most things here are cheap than those in your country. Our food are tasty but some might be oily. Anyway, we have Western food, either. Chinese people are very friend, so it’ll be easy for me to get used to the life here. I’ll introduce you to my schoolmate and you won’t feel lonely. In a word, I’ll try my best to make you feel home. I’m looking forward to meeting you soon.

3 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1适当的个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked     1     (pay) a visit to a special student. An     2     (ill) had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest     3     meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.

The thirteen-year-old,     4     had muscular dystrophy（肌肉萎缩症）, wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew how to deal with difficulties.

I spent over an hour talking to him. Never once     5     he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about going for his dreams.     6     (obvious), he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention his classmates had made fun of him because he was     7     (disable). He just talked about his hopes for the future. When we had finished     8     (talk), I pulled out     9     first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. He looked at it for a moment, then     10     (take) it off and handed it back to me. He said, “Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

4 . As the parent of a 7-year-old boy, sometimes I feel like “no” is my most frequently said word. But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary, I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”. Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences, inviting new or deeper relationships. But too much “yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious,   overcommitted (过分受约束的) and   powerless to set and maintain boundaries in our lives.

This had been on my mind when The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say It and Mean It－and Stop People-Pleasing.

Forever came across my desk. The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confidence and kindness.

Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your self-respect, holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request comes your way. For people-pleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.

The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in common－things that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.

Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”, but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf.

5 . Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological(心理的) first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.

I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to disturb this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.

Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.

In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.
