3．Those children don't have to learn.for they always work hard voluntarily．( )A．make to——青夏教育精英家教网—

18．I came to study in the United States a year ago．Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court．
After the accident，my roommate called a doctor for me．I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day．But the next day，he asked me to pay him 200 for what he had done．I was astonished．He had good reason to charge me，he said．And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury，I'd have to have a good lawyer．And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer．Now that he had helped me find a good doctor，it was only fair that I should pay him．
But every time I went to see the doctor，I had to wait about 50 minutes．He would see two or three patients at the same time，and often stop treating one so as to see another．Yet he charged me 115 each time．The final examination report consisted of ten lines，and it cost me 215．
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met．But after that he avoided seeing me at all．He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident，yet he hardly did anything．He simply waited to collect his money．He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him．And he made me pay him 770．
Now I had to act as my own lawyer．Due to my inexperience，I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America．Knowing that，they played for time…and I left without getting a cent．

17．My husband hates going to the gym in January． Not because he doesn't want to take exercise after the Christmas break，but because of the amount of new people there．Without fail，every January brings eager new gym members filled with excitement over their New Year's resolution（决定）：Join a gym．
His frustration（沮丧）is short-lived though；within a matter of weeks only a few new comers are still there．In fact，research suggests that only about 8%of them remain．That's the amount of the 40%of people who set resolutions who actually keep them．
Why is it so hard to keep new year resolutions？I believe it is because we make them difficult to keep．They're too specific．Look at the resolution：join a gym．What's the problem with it？Maybe your schedule makes it difficult to get to the gym regularly or you don't like the atmosphere．It's all too easy to fail at goal-setting when you focus on a specific goal．
So what do you do instead？This year，I want you to focus on feelings and experiences instead of goals．Why do you sign up for a gym membership？Because you want to feel healthy，get fit and feel energized．There are lots of ways besides the gym to get these results：eating better，walking more，taking a dance class．If you don't like one thing，move onto the next．You need not feel like you failed because you are still looking for the feeling．
By focusing on feelings you stay open to opportunities around you．Instead of blindly following only one way that may or may not work，you can explore a variety of options．This year，instead of a list of resolutions，make a list of things you want to feel and experience．You can't fail
