Learn to Refuse

    Believe it or not, I've always been a people pleaser. I often put others before myself because I want to make my friends happy.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    “Can you help me with my English?” Grace asked me on the first day after she became my desk mate. “Of course,” I replied without hesitation（犹豫）. Grace has been working really hard on her studies and needed my help — although I didn't have much time left for her.

    One day after school, while I was doing a huge amount of homework, Grace's phone call came.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} but I still felt bad about saying no. When Grace ended the call, the clock said it was 00:15 am. But I still had homework left and I wanted to sleep. This was bad for a Junior 3 student who is going to take an important exam this June.

    Finally I burst into tears. I felt so tired and realized that the stress had an effect on my health. I tried to get myself out. Studying is more important than other things,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . It's now important for me to say no, no, no. “Can you do me a favor?” Grace asked last Monday. “Sorry I just have to review my biology notes,” I answered. “All right, it's up to you,” she said. I felt completely relaxed when I heard her reply.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    To be honest, I have felt much happier since learning to refuse. I have more time to spend on my study at present. I still try my best to help others,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

A. She complained a lot and it made me feel bored

B. If anyone asks me for help, I always say, “yes!”

C. Anyway, it's not so hard to say no at all

D. but sometimes I say no because I know everyone has a limit

E. so Grace has to come the second

    Everybody knows that healthy eating habits are important. Here are five good eating habits for you.

    ★{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water when you are exercising.

    ★{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Breakfast is the most important meal of a day. You can have more energy(能量) after eating breakfast.

    ★{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    If you don't have enough time to have a big meal, take some bread with you for a quick lunch. Don't eat lunch which has too much oil: If you don't have lunch, that will be bad for your health.

    ★{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    We should eat fruit and vegetables every day." Add a banana to your breakfast, have salad for lunch, and eat some vegetables at dinner. If someone doesn't like to eat vegetables, he or she can eat some fruit instead.

    ★{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    Try to have dinner at least 3 hours before going to bed. Your body needs time to digest(消化) most of the food before you rest for 8 hours.

    Now it was Jerry's turn. And Jerry would ride Wild Lady！I watched Jerry in the chute.

    Jerry dropped down on the horse's back. He was ready to go. "Outside!" He called.

    The gate of the chute opened. And then nothing. Wild Lady didn't move. What was the matter?

    Suddenly Wild Lady jumped out like a tiger. She jumped-with all four feet off the ground. She was quick, still I could see Jerry's spurs(马刺). He had them in the right place.

    Again Wild Lady jumped, kicking and turning. Then she began a quick turn. Now I knew why all the riders were afraid of her. Around and around she went. Again and again she dug her front legs into the ground and kicked up behind. Jerry's neck moved back each time the horse jumped.

    Now Wild Lady was turning fast-so fast that Jerry looked like part of her. Once I saw Jerry bounce(单起)up high, off to one side, "That's it!" I thought. But no! She was still riding.

    I was trying to count off the seconds with my fingers. But I was lost in the watching. I dug my nails(指甲)into my hand until it hurt. Wild Lady jumped higher and higher.

    Again the horse threw Jerry into the air. The people around me stood up. I couldn't see what was happening. But I heard, "Come on!" That was Jerry landing on the horse's back. Everybody was shouting. And they were still shouting when the bell rang. It was all over. Jerry had stayed on that horse for eight long seconds.

    Now I had seen Jerry ride. I don't know how he felt while he was on that horse. But I know how I felt watching him. That eight seconds was a long time for Jerry. It was a long time for me too!
