Things to Start Doing for Yourself

Here is a positive to-do list for the upcoming year：

Start spending time with right people. There are the people you like? who love and appre-ciate you, and who encourage you to improve. They not only accept who you are now? but also accept who you want to be. 1.

Start facing your problems head-on. It isn’t your problems that define you, but how you react to them and recover from them. 2. With your problems, take baby steps in the right direction, inch by inch. These inches count, which add up to yards and miles in the long run.

3. Be honest about what’s right, as well as what needs to be changed. Be honest a- bout what you want to achieve and who you want to become. Be honest about every aspect of your life because you are the person you can forever count on.

Start valuing the lessons your mistakes teach you. 4. Significant achievements are al-most always realized at the end of a long road of failures. One of the “mistakes” you fear might just be the link to your greatest achievement.

Start forgiving yourself and others. We’ve all been hurt by our own decisions and by others. 5. It means you’re letting go of the hatred (仇恨) and pain, and choosing to learn from the pain and move on with your life.

Start cheering for other people’s victories. Notice what you like about others and tell them. Be happy for those who are making progress. Cheer for their victories. Be thankful for their blessings (賜福) openly.

A. Forgiveness is the medicine.

B. Mistakes are the stepping stones of progress.

C. They are the ones who make you feel more alive.

D. Start being honest with yourself about everything.

E. Problems will not disappear unless you take action.

F. It doesn’t mean you’re out of trouble.

G. You are in competition with yourself.

Heads turned, tears dropped, and gossip-filled whispers went on and on from the hospital passages to the house windows. There was a problem: a daughter had been born. She wasn’t the first disappointment born to her family. Although my aunt didn’t care about giving birth to a girl, her mother-in-law constantly reminded her of the criticism she would have to face if she gave birth to a daughter. In India, most people held these views.

When I visited my relatives during the summer, one sentence managed to fill me with anger and start arguments with my so-called relatives. “You are a girl, stay within your limits.” They simply don’t know how different it is living in the US. Anyway, comparisons to my cousins led me to end the arguments for the moment and accept the way they lived their lives.

My words didn’t make sense to them so my mind was set on proving them wrong.

Although their words didn’t tear me apart, their actions managed to. The amount of sexism(性別歧視) in this culture, especially my hometown, made me feel bad. It was the 21st century, yet women had to eat after the men at family gatherings. They had to cook all the family meals and were asked to take jobs that required little skill or education. It was time to change these views.

As I was growing older, the same relatives repeatedly questioned me about my future: “What do you want to be?” And the answer was always the same：electrical engineer. I have a passion for electronics; as clichéd(陳詞濫調(diào)的) as it sounds, I was born to do it. When I connect wires together to repair something, I can’t contain my excitement. But when I tried to explain this to my relatives, all of them, except for my parents and grandparents, would be shocked and laugh at me — laugh because they didn’t think I could live up to my goals, being a “girl and all”. It was time to change these views.

In my world, being a girl is not a problem. Rather, it is an opportunity to allow passion, not stereotypes(成見), to shape my future. I decided to channel my relatives’ views into positive energy. Rather than letting them bring me down, I let them be motivation to achieve my goal of becoming an engineer. I, a female, will become a successful engineer.

1.The first paragraph was mainly written to .

A. describe how bad the author’s aunt felt for having a baby girl

B. describe the pressure the author’s aunt had to face when she was going to have a baby

C. show that most Indian people are strongly prejudiced against women

D. show that the author’s aunt’s generation is fighting against prejudice against women

2.From the second and third paragraphs, it can be concluded that .

A. the author realized that just using words couldn’t change the relatives’ sexism

B. the author’s friends and relatives were jealous about her life in the US

C. the author got used to being reminded to stay within her limits after she was born

D. the author often argued with her relatives because she believed US lifestyles were right

3.According to the text, the author decided to change her relatives’ views by .

A. achieving her ambition of changing her hometown

B. using her relatives’ comments as motivation

C. letting stereotypes influence her future decisions

D. achieving her dream of becoming an engineer

4.In the article, in what way does the author show how serious the amount of sexism was in her hometown?

A. By describing feeling defeated after arguments.

B. By describing people’s words, behavior and common practices.

C. By stressing the conflicts she had with her relatives.

D. By giving examples of how her goals were laughed at repeatedly.
