Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe now we might all agree that self-improvement is of great benefit for each of us． However, there are lots of stops along the road to self-improvement, which often calls for patience, emotional strength and kindness．With concentrated effort, you can become a better person than you ever thought possible．

　 1．　　 ．Nice people always put themselves in the other person's shoes． If the service is a little slow, maybe it's because the waitress has been standing for 8 hours and her back and feet are aching．Perhaps her little baby isn't feeling well and she got very little sleep the night before．In a word, you never know the full story from a brief meeting with a person．

　 2．Be a reasonable man． Service-centered businesses often live by the idea "The Customer is Always Right．" They're totally mistaken． The customer is not always right; sometimes the customer is quite difficult to deal with． You do not "deserve" a free meal because the waitress forgot to bring you a spoon． If you have a grievance, let it out, but be reasonable．

　 3．Fight fairly． When arguing with another person, stick to the subject． Present the facts briefly, and don't bring up unrelated incidents that happened 4 weeks from last Tuesday． Never hesitate to create a chance for other people to voice their opinions． They are just as important as yours．

　　 4．Put others first． Let the troubled-looking Mom have the parking space． Stand a few extra seconds holding the door for an elderly person． Don't interrupt people when they're speaking, or finish their sentences for them． Such small things, yet the effects are immediate and far-reaching．Nice people make a concentrated effort to be kind and put others needs above their own．Stop a moment and think how you can help someone, and you'll become a nicer person．

64．What might the speaker most probably discuss last time?

A．The origin of self-improvement． B．The process of self-improvement．

　 C．The structure of self-improvement． D．The importance of self-improvement．

65．The best title for the second paragraph is " 　　　　　　 "．

　 A．Be understanding B．Stay calm

　 C．Be positive　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．Be merciless

66．The underlined word "grievance" in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to 　.

A．mistake　　　　 B．complaint　　　 　 C．commitment　　 D．decision

67． Which of the following may the speaker support?

A．Learn to share the other person's point of view．

　 B．Put forward relevant facts in detail when arguing．

C．Make your voice heard when others are speaking．

D．Involve your own matters with others' when arguing．

閱讀理解

　　A young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness(不治之癥)and given three months to live．So as she was getting her things“in order”, she asked her pastor(牧師)to come to her house to discuss her final wishes．With everything in order, the pastor was ready to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her．

　　“What's that?”asked the pastor．

　　“I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand．”

　　The pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing what to say．

　　“That surprises you, doesn't it?”the young woman asked．

　　“Well, to be honest, I'm puzzled by the request,”said the pastor．

　　The young woman explained,“In all my years of going to church meetings and dinners, I remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would always lean over and say,‘Keep your fork．'It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming, like chocolate cake or apple pie, some dessert like that．Something wonderful!I just want people to see me there in that casket(棺材)with a fork so that when they ask you why I have a fork, you can tell them：‘Keep your fork－the best is yet to come．'”

　　The pastor hugged the young woman good-bye．He knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did．She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge．

　　At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the pretty dress she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand．Over and over, the pastor heard the question“Why does she have a fork?”And over and over again he smiled．

　　So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it reminded you of this young woman gently．Send the message to everyone you consider a friend even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you．

　　And, keep your fork!!
