I was recently invited to dinner by a friend．During the meal, the manager of the restaurant came 1 and said that our meal was free．He stood there 2 at me and he seemed a little 3 to me but I couldn’t quite remember him． 4 I asked him if he knew me．He laughed and said I had probably 5 him, but that I’d changed his life．My friend was quite 6 and asked him how I’d done this．
He said that twelve years ago he 7 a stress management class that I was giving．I asked the group what their greatest 8 was and most of them, including him, said it was their bosses．
He said I listened 9 and then took a chair and placed it in the center of the room．I 10 on the chair for a few moments and then I 11 everyone to come and do the same．I wanted them to look at the room from up there．After everyone had done it, I asked the group to 12 how the room looked different when they changed their perspective(视角)．
Then I asked them to 13 their bosses．Was this the same person who had seen their good 14 and hired them? Did they remember how happy they were to be 15 for the job? But how did these wonderful people become terrible bosses?
He said I looked at him and asked if he had 16 said thank you to his boss for the 17 to earn a living．He answered he hadn’t．Then I asked him why he hadn’t tried being 18 to his boss．
He told us his 19 changed that night．He went back to work the next day with a thank-you card to his boss．He said I’d 20 him to look at life from different perspectives and express thanks．
Even though he has been caught, the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is still causing trouble．His arrest 1 as many questions as it has answers．Top of the list is 2 should happen to Saddam now, closely 3 by calls for information from him about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction．
He is currently being held by 4 troops at a secret place．The US says he will stand trial for his cruel actions during his years in 5 ．This is likely to take place at a court 6 two weeks ago by the US-backed Iraqi Governing Council．The council's president Abdul Aziz al-hakim has warned Saddam could be executed(处死)if 7 guilty(有罪的)by the court．And the US 8 this．
“I think he ought to receive the 9 punishment for what he has done to people, ” said US president George W．Bush, 10 directly stating that Saddam should be put to death．
However, many 11 , including Saddam's long time enemy Iran, believe he would receive a fairer trial in an international court． 12 Britain, American's closest supporter, said it would not take part in any trial that could lead to Saddam's execution．
The UN Security Council has yet to 13 its position clear．But UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan 14 say that“the UN does not support a death penalty．”
Besides waiting for a trial of Saddam, the world wants to see 15 the US and Britain can find the 16 weapons they gave as the 17 for the war in Iraq．Asked if Saddam's capture(捕获)could 18 a breakthrough(突破)in the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said, “ 19 obviously that possibility there．But I think we should 20 what we're doing in Iraq．”
