Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings or different endings, such as import, export, repot and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same root “port” , which comes from the Latin word, meaning “to carry”  or “to move” from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning—which we call the prefix (前缀)—the meaning changes: “im” means “in” , so the word “import”  means “to carry in” , or “to bring into a country” ; “ex” means “out of” ,so the word “export” means “to carry out of a country” ; “re” means “back”, so the word “report” means “to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody” ; “trans”  means “across” , so “transport”  means “to carry from one place to another” .

Let’s look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus the suffix (后缀 ) “er” , thus meaning a person who completes the “verb” . So supporter means somebody who supports something. A reporter is somebody who reports something. Importer is somebody who imports something and exporter is somebody who exports something, and so on.

Are you the type of person who always says“yes”?I’ve come to learn that it is very im-portant to learn to say NO!It’s okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.

I,m not saying to say“no" to someone who really needs your help. I’m talking about re-fusing that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.

Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don’t want to do. If you’re like I once was,you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you’re saying to yourself,if you really wanted to go,you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.

So,why not just say NO from the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting(by the way,it is not one you must attend) your boss isn’t going to like you or your co-workers won’t respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom,dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them that they ask every occasion.

If these people are your true friends,family members,or a good boss,they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to,and if you’re some-one who always says“yes" then that’s what they,re expecting.

You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to ful-fill,but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.

1.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?

A.We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.

B.We should help others in need.

C.Always saying“yes" means you are dishonest.

D.Always saying“no" means you are brave.

2.What does the underlined word,’ It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Saying "yes".

B.A friend's birthday party.

C.Something you’re unwilling to do.

D.Something you think difficult to do.

3.The writer believes that if you say“no" to your family members,you’11_·

A.have the same relationship with them as before

B.have a loose relationship with them

C.disappoint them

D.upset them

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Learn to Make a Right Choice              B.To Be Yourself

C.Do What You Want to Do                  D.Learn to Say No

     In this fast-shifting world, there can be no guarantees attached to any particular job. But there is much
that you can do to protect yourself from the change of society, by equipping yourself with the skills to
manage your career more effectively. You need to be a career activist.
     If you lost your main source of income tomorrow, could you find a different source to replace it? The
most im-portant thing in protecting yourself now and in the future is ensuring that you have choices. Don't
let yourself be held back by a lack of skill development, or fear of change. Some people have been good
performers in their own or-ganization but discovered that they are stuck. Because they are so closely related
to a particular company or indus-try, their skills are not readily transferred to other jobs.
     Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you limit yourself to one particular area or sector, you limit your
opportuni-ty, too. In a global market place, many jobs come and go quickly as changes in the stock market.
Today's hottest job may not exist tomorrow. If you love computers, then this work represents a great
choice. But don't enter a field just because you think that's where the hot jobs are; even if the job is available,
it may not match well with your own skills and abili-ties. Start with entry of your own strengths and interests,
then see where you may match up best in the job market.
1. How can we ensure that we have choices if we lose the main source of income?
A. Be a good performer in our own organization.
B. Try to develop our skills and be a career activist.
C. Enter a field where the hot jobs are.
D. Transfer to other jobs that use computers.
2. Some people are afraid of change because _______.
A. they have got a hot job
B. they have no other better choices
C. they have got used to a certain job
D. they have no other skills and interests
3. "Put your eggs in one basket" in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A. sticking to only one particular job
B. trying your best to do something well
C. many jobs come and go quickly
D. entering a field where the hot jobs are
4. What is the best job for you to choose according to the writer?
A. Something that is both hot and interesting.
B. Something that brings you good source of income.
C. Something that will always exist in the future.
D. Something involving your strengths and interests.
