The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop like myself were never perfect; however， they were excellent. Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness， understanding， and patience.
One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy， did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.
When David came in for the interview， he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability.
David was very quiet （he was evaluated as a slow learner in school）. Every ten days or so， for weeks after the interview， David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word， just stood by the door.
One day， shortly before Christmas， a large truck came to the shop， packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave.
It was raining. Some of my workers （without physical limitations） chose not to brave the weather to get into work， so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it. David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted， “Well， all right！ Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck！”
David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however， he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David， saying， “He doesn’t talk， but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower！”
4. Why did the author give David an interview？
A. To give him some practice. B. To show sympathy for him.
C. To find a person who is reliable. D. To find a part-time worker in need.
5. Why does the author finally hire David？
A. David kept showing up.
B. He thought David was dependable.
C. There were no other workers in the shop then.
D. He needed someone who was willing to work then.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A. The author feels lucky to hire David.
B. Some customers just play jokes on David.
C. The author prefers David to be more outgoing.
D. David has had his character changed through work.
7. The authors tone in describing David is full of ___ .
A. pity B. wonder C. disappointment D. appreciation
People who possess high self-esteem are able to commit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others. Dr Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves， but with love and self-respect anyone can be above normality and grasp success with the family， the office， or others.
We have become too reliant on intelligence， beauty， and money for our own self-esteem. The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals. In a series of readings Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements， how to change them into self-facing behavior， and how to take charge of your mental attitude. Where other motivational and self-help work stops with the theoretical plan for success， Douglas take everyday examples and puts them into his books. From raising children who believe in themselves to using self-esteem to help bridge production gaps in the workplace， he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that plague （困扰） their interpersonal relations.
Self-esteem building comes from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of self-degradation （自暴自弃）. These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly outside of his control. People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their successes grander， faster， and more beneficial for others. Douglas approaches this process of self-development as a means of more than creating good things for the individual but also for setting up keys for influencing good things for others.
For more than thirty years， Dry Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drug-free children. He is the author of fifteen books， including How to Make a Habit of Succeeding.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1？
A. Self-esteem matters much.
B. Most people behave well enough.
C. Committing better equals greater success.
D. Self-respect means being above normality.
9. Why does Douglas put everyday examples into his books？
A. To set and reach goals. B. To offer concrete solutions.
C. To avoid passive thoughts. D. To be reliant on self-esteem.
10. What does the author advise those whose life is slightly out of control to do？
A. Ask for help. B. Learn to be positive.
C. Face it naturally. D. Admit self-degradation.
11. What is the most important to be self-development？
A. Gaining more benefits. B. Influencing more people.
C. Creating good things. D. Speaking more effectively.
For many people， being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework， meals and childcare. Even for those with a happy family life， home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.
In a new study， researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol （皮质醇） released in response to stress， in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women， and parents and people without children.
Both men and women showed less stress at work. But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valued in society，” says Sarah Damasked， the lead researcher on the study. “Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”
We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards. Yet none of us， no matter how long weve been doing it， ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.
The support and friendship of coworkers also offer stress relief. At home， meanwhile， stress spreads and accumulates quickly. “That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners，” Dry Damasked says.
Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to leave work stress at the office and even to change our mindset from work to home， for example， a walk around the block. The recent findings， though， suggest our home life， not our attitude， might be due for some change.
12. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “taxing” in Paragraph 1？
A. Stressful. B. Cheerful.
C. Worthwhile. D. Rewarding.
13. What did the research in the second paragraph prove？
A. Men felt better at home.
B. Women felt they had less time.
C. Women were easier to feel happier.
D. Most people felt more stress at home.
14. What do most people think of work at the office？
A. It is competitive. B. It improves ability.
C. It can’t relieve stress. D. It doesn’t always pay off.
15. According to the recent findings， what should we change to solve the problem mentioned？
A. Our attitude. B. Our mindset.
C. Our home life. D. Our working style.

There was a survey of the people who were born from 1980 to 2000， asking them what their most important life goals were. Over 80 percent said it was to get rich. 1 Were constantly told to devote more to our work， to push harder and to achieve more. Were given the impression that these are the things that we need to go after to have a good life. But is that the truth？ 2
But what if we could study people from the time when they were teenagers all the way into old age to see what really keeps people happy and healthy？ The Harvard Study of Adult Development did it. For 75 years， they’ve tracked the lives of 724 men. Almost all projects of this kind fall apart within a decade because too many people drop out of the study. 3 Or the researchers cant get together. But through a combination of luck and the persistence of several generations of researchers， this study has survived.
So what have they learned？ The conclusion is that it’s not wealth or fame that counts.
4 They’ve learned three big lessons about relationships. Firstly， people who are more socially connected to family， to friends and to community are happier and physically healthier. The second is that it’s not just the number of friends you have but the quality of your close relationships that matters. And the third is that good relationships don’t just protect our bodies. 5
A. They can even protect our brains.
B. To become famous comes second.
C. Or funding for the research dries up.
D. Good life is built up with relationships.
E. It turns out that being in conflict is bad for our health.
F. It is good relationships that keep us happier and healthier.
G. To be frank， sometimes wealth and fame can make people happy.
