One day a young girl was driving with her father and it started to rain. “What should I do?” the girl asked. “Keep driving,” her father said. Cars began to pull over (靠 …. 停车) to the side of the road. “What should I do?” the young girl asked. “____” her father said. “But don’t stop.”
A few feet up the road, she noticed that even more drivers were also pulling over. “_____Everyone else is pulling over!” she told her father. “Don’t give up, just keep driving!” her father told her.
The rain continued, but she never stopped driving and soon she could see a little more clearly. After a few miles she was again on dry land and the sun came out.
“____” her father said.
“But why now?” the girl asked.
“When you get out, look back at all the people that gave up and are still in the rain. ” said her father.
“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need friends.
For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.
1. Be friendly and polite.
Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
2. Go out of your way to be nice.
Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.
3. Remember names.
They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.
4. Be open-minded.
Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.
5. Listen patiently.

When you work long hours and Sundays are no longer a day to rest, feeling overworked can become the new normal. Take sportsmen as examples and do the same yourself, so you’ll know if you’re overworking.
Check your resting heart rate (率). Every day, before you get out of bed, take your pulse (脉搏). Usually your heart rate will stay within a few beats every minute. But when you’re overworked, the rate increases. If your heart rate is up in the morning, get a little more rest or sleep that night.
Check your emotions. Getting angry easily? If you can’t put your finger on a clear reason, there may be something wrong with your emotions. Hoping to change the condition won’t help. The only way out is a break.
Check your weight. If you lose or increase more than 1% of body weight from one day to the next, something is wrong. Maybe yesterday you were too busy and failed to notice you didn’t eat and drink enough. Or maybe you failed to notice that you were eating too much.How many ways are mentioned to check if we’re overworking?
| A．Two. | B．Three. |
| C．Four. | D．Five. |
When should we check our heart rate?
| A．In the morning. | B．In the afternoon. |
| C．At noon. | D．At night. |
What is the best way to deal with the problem of overwork?
| A．Doing more sports. | B．Drinking more water. |
| C．Having more rest. | D．Eating less food. |
