He had a big3, and usually enjoyed driving it long distances, but he was also quite4to go by train sometimes too especially when the weather was5. He was a little frightened of driving in the rain or snow, and it was 6tiring to sit comfortably in a train and look out of the windows without being worried about how one was going to get to the next place. One of Mr. Gray’s 7was often where to stay when he reached some small 8in the country. He did not expect 9and wonderful food, but he found it annoying when he was given a cold room, and when there was no hot water 10 good food after a long and tiring day.
Late one winter evening, Mr. Gray arrived at a small railway station. The journey by train that 11had not been at all interesting, and Mr. Gray was cold and tired and 12. He was looking forward to a 13but satisfying meal by a brightly burning 14, and then a hot bath and a comfortable bed. While he was walking to the taxi stand, he said to a local man who was also 15there. “As this is my 16visit to this part of the country and I was in too much of a hurry to find out about a hotel before I 17home, I would very much like to know how many you have here.” The local man answered, “We have two.” “And which of the two would you 18me to go to?” Mr. Gray asked then. The local man scratched his 19 for a few moments and then answered, “Well, it’s like this: 20one you go to, you’11 be sorry you didn’t go to the other.”

Everyone experiences stress at work, but how we cope with it varies. Feeling that you’ve been unfairly treated can be particularly stressful. Researchers believe that failure to express feelings about unfair treatment at work could have serious consequences on your health, especially men, who bottle up their anger at being unfairly treated at work, are up to 5 times more likely to suffer a heart attack, or even die from one, than those who let their frustration (沮喪) show, a Swedish study has found.
The study by the Stress Research Institute of Stockholm University followed 2,755 employed men who had not suffered any heart attacks. At the end of the study, 47 participants had either suffered an attack, or died from heart disease, and many of those had been found to be covertly coping with unfair treatment at work.
“After adjustment for age, socioeconomic factors, risk behaviors, job strain and biological risk factors at baseline, there was a close-response relationship between covert coping and the risk of incident death,” the study’s authors wrote.
Covert coping was listed as “l(fā)etting thing pass without saying anything” and “going away” despite feelings of being hard done by colleagues or bosses. Men who often used these coping techniques had a two to five times higher risk of developing heart disease than those who were more confrontational (對(duì)抗性的) at work, the study showed.
The researchers said they could not answer the question of what might be a particularly healthy coping strategy at work, but listed open coping behavior when experiencing unfair treatment or facing a conflict as “protesting directly,” “talking to the person right away,” “yelling at the person right away” or “speaking to the person later when things have calmed down.” The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

- A.
women are less likely to suffer a heart attack than men

- B.

When I was growing up, I always gave my mom an apron (圍裙)on her birthday.I wanted my own mom —1that apron I'd just given her, of course —to2me at the end of each afternoon bearing a plate of home-baked3as she waited breathlessly to hear about my4day at school.

Or, have you ever wanted to show 1 at a party and found the song you’d practiced so many times suddenly2 more difficult? I’ve had both these3. As a senior student, I have to 4 many exams. Each time, I think, “ I5 fail this time,’’ but I get a low mark. Don’t be surprised---it’s not 6 I don’t try, do enough preparation, 7 take it seriously. On the contrary, it is because I give it too 8 attention. The thought “ I must pass” makes me taste the terrible flavor of failure.

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own.My mother was one of those people.
My father died when I was one-year-old.While I was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love.Each night, she seated me on her lap and, spoke the words that would change my life, "Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said that I would never walk again.Every night my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me whatever those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to.She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her.A year later, I walked on my own to school!
When the Great Depression broke out, my mother lost her job.Then I left school to support the two of us.At that moment I decided never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced a lot of business success.But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was very angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child.That was too expensive for an ordinary American family.I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽車旅館) for families that would never charge extra money for children.Many people did not believe me at that time.
Not surprisingly, mom was my strongest supporter.As in any business, I experienced a lot of difficulties.But with my mom's words in my heart, I never doubted I would succeed.Fifteen years later, I had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn.In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $l billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situations.But if you find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

I’ve been selling since I was twenty. I went to college for a year, but I was bored. I just wasn’t the kind of person who could sit in a room with books and study. I wanted to get out and work. My friends thought I was silly. They were all studying to be engineers, lawyers, and doctors. I was the odd one. That caused me a lot of anxiety later on. I always felt that I had to prove myself. I had to prove that I was just as good as they were.
I tried for a sales position in a company that sold office furniture. My interview went pretty well, and I got the job. It was a good learning experience for me. I learned how to sell. I found out what to say and how to say it, I also found out that selling wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to do.
There’s a lot of pressure and anxiety in this kind of work. Everything depends on the sale – your job, money and happiness. You can’t do anything that might make you lose the sale. There are times when you want to call the client, and you know you can’t. you have to wait for the client to call you.
Sometimes I feel like an actor. Whenever I call a client from home, my wife goes into another room. She says that I sound like a different person. In a way she’s right. Selling is like performing . If you’ve performed well, you’ve sold yourself to the audience. In my work, if you’ve performed well, you’ve sold the product. That’s what selling is all about.
