　 Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe now we might all agree that self-improvement is of great benefit for each of us． However, there are lots of stops along the road to self-improvement, which often calls for patience, emotional strength and kindness．With concentrated effort, you can become a better person than you ever thought possible．

　 1．　　 ．Nice people always put themselves in the other person's shoes． If the service is a little slow, maybe it's because the waitress has been standing for 8 hours and her back and feet are aching．Perhaps her little baby isn't feeling well and she got very little sleep the night before．In a word, you never know the full story from a brief meeting with a person．

　 2．Be a reasonable man． Service-centered businesses often live by the idea "The Customer is Always Right．" They're totally mistaken． The customer is not always right; sometimes the customer is quite difficult to deal with． You do not "deserve" a free meal because the waitress forgot to bring you a spoon． If you have a grievance, let it out, but be reasonable．

　 3．Fight fairly． When arguing with another person, stick to the subject． Present the facts briefly, and don't bring up unrelated incidents that happened 4 weeks from last Tuesday． Never hesitate to create a chance for other people to voice their opinions． They are just as important as yours．

　　 4．Put others first． Let the troubled-looking Mom have the parking space． Stand a few extra seconds holding the door for an elderly person． Don't interrupt people when they're speaking, or finish their sentences for them． Such small things, yet the effects are immediate and far-reaching．Nice people make a concentrated effort to be kind and put others needs above their own．Stop a moment and think how you can help someone, and you'll become a nicer person．

64．What might the speaker most probably discuss last time?

A．The origin of self-improvement． B．The process of self-improvement．

　 C．The structure of self-improvement． D．The importance of self-improvement．

65．The best title for the second paragraph is " 　　　　　　 "．

　 A．Be understanding B．Stay calm

　 C．Be positive　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．Be merciless

66．The underlined word "grievance" in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to 　.

A．mistake　　　　 B．complaint　　　 　 C．commitment　　 D．decision

67． Which of the following may the speaker support?

A．Learn to share the other person's point of view．

　 B．Put forward relevant facts in detail when arguing．

C．Make your voice heard when others are speaking．

D．Involve your own matters with others' when arguing．
