Problem was, we had two tickets to see Miranda July, the performance artist, being interviewed at the Herbst Theatre. We decided to sell them online for 50. One hour before the event, a guy named Peter called me and said he wanted to buy the tickets. Since the time was limited, I told Peter to pay me the next day. Peter seemed touched and we said a fond goodbye.However, a month later, Peter still didnt pay me back. A few more weeks passed. Another month. Thered been one e-mail promising to mail the check, then silence.Maybe he was having a hard time, I thought. But truth was, Peter seemed to be having a pretty normal time. According to the pictures and messages on his Facebook, he had been playing golf, dancing happily with his friends, and traveling on a boat. But he just refused to answer my calls, or reply to my e-mails or messages. So I tried reaching him with my wifes phone one night. And he didnt pick up when I called,but texted right back, playfully wondering who might be calling him.“You should go to his office,”my wife said, “He would have to give you the money if all his coworkers were watching.”But I didnt want to become a debt collector. My efforts to reach Peter over these months had been light and I wanted to keep it that way. My initial exchange with Peter had been just two regular people agreeing to handle things humanly. There was a rare niceness in that, and I still wanted to keep that balloon in the air, however disappointing it was starting to look.

Dr. Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves, but with love and self­respect 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 self­esteem. The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals. In a series of reading Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements, how to change them into self­facing behavior, and how to take charge of your mental attitude. Where other motivational and self­help work stops with the theoretical plan for success, Douglas takes everyday examples and puts them into his books. From raising children who believe in themselves to using self­esteem to help bridge the gap in the workplace, he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that might ruin their interpersonal relations.Self­esteem building comes from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations(肯定) and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of self­destruction. These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly out of control. People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their success grander, faster, and more beneficial for others. Douglas approaches this process of self­development 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, Dr. Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drug­free children. He is the author of fifteen books, including How to Make a Habit of Succeeding.1What can we infer from Paragraph 1?AMost people behave well enough.BSelf­respect means being above normality.CSelf­esteem matters much.DCommitting better equals greater success.112Why does Douglas put everyday examples into his books?ATo be reliant on self­esteem.BTo set and reach goals.CTo avoid negative thoughts.DTo offer concrete solutions.3What does the author advise those whose life is slightly out of control to do?ALearn to be positive.BFace it unmotivatedly.CAdmit self­destruction.DAsk for help.4Whats the most important to be self­development?AInfluencing the individual.BInfluencing more people.CGaining more benefits.DSpeaking more effectively. 参考答案 14、CDAB
