For 72 years, Lisa Gumpel kept a secret . “For a long time, I was determined not to tell anyone about it,” said Gumpel, 85 years old, 31 finally settled in Minnesota after the war and now lives in the Twin Cities.
She told people that she and her two sisters were among 669 Jewish children 32 (save) by a kind man to escape from the Nazi concentration camp in 1939. Their rescuer was 33 British businessman named Nicholas Winton, who also kept the story to 34 until his wife found a list of the children’s names.
Gumpel was shocked in 1988 when the 35 (true) about Winton’s one-man rescue operation finally came out. “Nobody knew that he actually did all 36 himself,” she said. “He worked so hard to save lives.”
Winton still doesn’t think that he’s a hero, arguing that his life was never 37 danger and that he was doing 38 he feels every person should do.
A party was held for him and the people he’d saved. Gumpel was 39 (excite) when she finally met him. “He still 40 (treat) us all like we’re his kids,” she said with a warm smile on the face.

Florence Chadwick was a great swimmer. However, not all of her efforts worked out. In addition to working hard, she had a secret for success. At the age of 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast. However, in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense that she could hardly see her support boats. Her body was numb(麻木) and she had been swimming for nearly 16 hours. Against the cold grip of the sea, she struggled on—hour after hour—while millions watched on national television. Alongside Florence, in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn’t much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had… until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out. Still warming her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.” It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal. Two months later, she tried again. Despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact（未受影响的）and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it!

Several days ago, I came across a story about Glorence Chadwick, __________

Listen carefully; we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free! It’s “no”. What do you ask? We’ll say it again. “No”. Sweet and simple “no”.

Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears. “Saying “no” to others means you are saying “yes” to yourself,” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.

Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt （内疚） or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated （强制的）‘yes’”, she said.

Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all,” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middle-bury. “Most people are afraid of saying “no”. My advice is to say “yes” only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”

Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time. Other people are happy to use up your time,” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend. “No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”. “No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.

But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying “no” to everything. In return you should learn to hear “no”.”

53. The underlined part “saying ‘yes’ to yourself” in the second paragraph means ______.

A. you can have more time to play with others

B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy

C. you are selfish and treat others rudely

D. you can deal with your business as you have planned

54. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a ______.

A. secret way B. polite way C. proud way D. guilty way

55 In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that ______.

A. they say “no” at a suitable time B. they say “no” as much as possible

C. they are afraid of saying “no” D. they make others angry at them

56. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receives may be that he or she _____.

A. enjoys a wonderful life B. makes a lot of money

C. faces difficulty in life D. forgets to say “yes” in the end

She ________ a secretary for 5 years, but now she is a manager of a big store．
