【题目】 Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half53 percenthave breakfast alone and nearly half46 percenthave lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report.

“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know? “Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “I prefer to go out and be out . Today I just wanted some time to myself.” she said.

Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper. “It’s a chance for self-reflection(自我反思). You return to work energetic and with a plan.” said he.

That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt uncomfortable about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demerit, whose company provided the statistics(数据)for the report.

【题目】Born in Australia without arms or legs, 30yearold Nick Vujicic has become an international symbol of victory.His life has been filled with one hurdle after the next.But you’ll hear no selfpity from Vujicic, whose book, Unstoppable, was published last month. “My limbless challenge remains.I cannot change that,”says Vujicic, who counts skydiving and surfing among his hobbies.“But what I can, and did change is my attitude.”

It is Vujicic’s spirit that has made him a sellout speaker, traveling the world to share his story.Describing low points in his life, including a suicide attempt at age 10 and a failing business in his 20s, he says the “three Fs” are what got him through:friends, family and faith.“I can honestly say, the fear of being alone during the most difficult times in my life was worse than living without arms and legs ... Hard times make you humble (卑微).You realize that you do need people to help you when you are not able to do it all yourself.”

A few years ago, confronted with the increasing business debt, Vujicic says he nearly gave up to selfdestructive thoughts. But he set small goals: Get out of bed, eat breakfast, leave the house.Those small successes built his confidence to move forward to the next level.“There is nothing about failure that is easy,” he says.“But it is also true that our failures in life teach us to embrace every small victory. Success is that much sweeter when you have struggled to reach it.”

Family and friends are a safety net,including wife Kanae who is expecting their first child.“My parents always taught me, ’You don’t know what you are able to do until you try’” he recalls.“The first time you fail at anything is painful.But you have a decision:Do you give up or do you try again?”

【题目】 When you set a foot outside of your door to drop trash, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like “I hope I don't see anyone I know” or “please don’ t talk to me” may run through your mind. I’ ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new.

Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people? Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time? Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble?

Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation-Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don't have the courage to actually do in reality.

Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends — our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us.

Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.

But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.
