friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. but, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. but, youve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. they tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.“everyone wants to be liked,” says gabriele steinki, a german psychologist. “saying no risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”the result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. but experts say this is regrettable. anyone should have the right to say “no”.in fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.but, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.most people believe that “if i say no, ill lose the affection of the person. but the affection is important to me.” this way of thinking can be replaced by this: “if he only likes me because i always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. “one heeds to present the situation from ones own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. the other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”when the refusal is not accepted, steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.56. most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because _.a. they dont care about their own interests and feelings b. they dont know they will regret afterwards c. they have already been used to saying “yes” d. they care more about others affection57. in the opinion of experts, _ .a. people need a lot of practice to say “no” b. people should say “yes” to keep the peace c. saying “no” means losing a job d. people have the right to be liked58. according to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other persons request?a. just say you cant help him. b. say sorry to him.c. refuse him clearly.d. talk to the other person to find a mutual way.59. according to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?a. say yes to him. b. repeat your reason for his acceptancec. just go away d. say no to him60. what is the best title of the passage?a. you need courage to say “no” b. “yes” more than “no” c anyone has the right to say “no” d. its hard to say “no”b british men are encouraged to cry.there are certain things british men like to believe about themselves. the first is that one day they will again win the world cup. they also believe they do not cry. over the centuries, britons are believed to have a stiff upper lip. but is this true?yes, it is. a recent study arranged by kleenex on how the british express their emotions reveals that 95 percent of them still contain their emotions. moreover, while 72 percent think this is unhealthy, 19 percent cant remember the last time they let it out. as a result, kleenex is launching the let it out campaign that encourages britons to grab a tissue and have a good cry. these days, however, the male britons attitude toward crying is changing. though the majority still struggles to open up emotionally, a 2004 study by oxfords social issues research center found that 77 percent of british men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable. half of london males admitted crying in front of their mothers. scotsmen are the least emotional, although they are the most likely to cry at weddings. peter marsh, director of the center, said, “crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness. like with david beckham, crying because youre dropping off your boy at nursery isnt seen as weak.” winston churchill was said to be a frequent crier, shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter（防空洞）, and when he saw his wife after a long absence. psychologists say that while society has accepted that men can cry, there are limits. ronald bracey, a consulting psychologist, said, “if a man began to cry when he was having stitches（缝针）in hospital, he would be considered as a wimp（软弱的人）. men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain. ” 61. what does the passage mainly deal with?a. different attitudes british men have towards crying. b. british mens dream of the world cup. c. advice on how to control emotions. d. impression of british men.62. which of the following concerning(关于) the british men is not true according to the passage?a. they are supposed to easily control emotions over the

their mothers.63. the underlined word “contain” in paragraph 3 means _. a. store b. include c. hold back d. possesscfarmers grow cacao trees in many countries in africa, central and south america, but
