and eventually joined the soviet army to fight for his countrys freedom . “stand straight, stand tall,” he told himself.after the war, in 1947, he boarded a boat for manhattan. he was hungry and suffering from seasickness. all alone in a new country, he was frightened about his future .still, he marched head-on into the hustle and bustle of the streets of new york. soon he met other european immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. if they could do it, why couldnt he? “stand straight, stand tall,” he would remind himself.thanks to the help of a loyal and trusting friend, my grandfather gained a jewelry booth on canal street, new york city. he once told me how nervous he was on that first day of work. he was not only trying to learn this tough new business, but

friends expectationsbyou feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. if you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then its likely you will burn out, or feel upset.when you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.the way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. i break values up into two groups which i call being and having values. your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. i suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. an example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. by acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. these could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. this is what you receive. you take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.when you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. if your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. a calm person might go for a walk, meditate（沉思）, or set a time limit before responding. if your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. in other words, you would act like the person you choose to bethis is the key to personal power.when you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce（加强）your chosen beliefs. over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.45the main purpose of this passage is to .apersuade the readers to make a

level of motorsport was an intended move by toyota, the worlds third largest auto manufacturer, to further challenge its own capabilities. by going head-to-head with the industrys top performers on the worlds premier racing stage, the japanese giant was setting itself a huge task. a sport with an enormous international following, the risks of entering the f1 arena are highbut there are rich rewards for those who succeed. besides being a showcase for state-of-the-art technology, the intense competition in this most demanding of racing disciplines leaves no room for self-satisfaction. more importantly, it fosters（培养）the kind of forward-thinking team spirit that toyota is seeking.while f1 benefited greatly from the added prestige of having such a distinguished newcomer among its competitors, the demands placed on panasonic toyota racing last year revealed the shortcomings of not having enough experience as a team. mistakes were made and valuable lessons were learned, among which was the fundamental truth: “to stand still in f1 is to go backwards.”with the past in mind, preparations for the 2003 season included sweeping changes on both the technical and personnel（人事的）sides. the management at toyota motorsport gmbh was restructured, with john howett moving from toyota motor marketing europe to become president, thus enabling the company founder, ove

course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. but it was difficult for the young men to go outside. mr. white, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.once mr. white was ill in bed. he couldnt work and a young officer, mr. hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. he knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. but night fell and none came back to the camp. he was worried about it and stood at the gate. it was five to twelve when mr. hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. he started the car quickly and set off. at that moment the nine soldiers came back. it seemed they were all drunk. of course they found the officer was angry.“im sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “i left the town on time. but something was wrong with my bus on my way here. i had to buy a horse and made it run fast. bad luck! it died and i had to run back.”and the
