D. They’re in charge of their emotions.
E. They apologize when needed.
F. They are generous with compliments.
We all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why can’t we be more like them? Sometimes we chuck that notion as absurd and unachievable. I would say not so fast. It’s not the big things that make someone extraordinary. It’s the small things. Things over a period of time have the power to radically change your life. They become extraordinary by making a difference in someone’s life. Here are some of the things extraordinary people do every day:
1. __________
Just because you’re the boss, it doesn’t mean you are right every time. It doesn’t mean you have the best ideas. Learn to back up your ideas or decisions with reason. Use logic to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.
2. __________
My friend’s boss made a huge mistake by tying up with an event management company. The whole purpose of the tie-up was to promote his company but it failed miserably. Instead of defending his idea and carrying on as if nothing happened, he apologized to the team for not including them in the decision making. It’s OK to admit you were wrong. You will not only gain the respect of your team mates, you will also gain credibility.
3.__________
Remember the time, say in school or at work when you worked really hard but got nothing in return. Not even a thank you. It hurts when your efforts are not recognized. So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple “That was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employee feel great about themselves. A compliment can have a positive impact on their lives. Your team/family will love you for it.
4. __________
We all make mistakes, but what makes a person big is when he is ready to apologize. Don’t try to hide behind excuses: “I didn’t mean to say it, it just happened.” “I was irritated with such and such person so…” No. Don’t try to shift blame. Just come right out and say you’re sorry.
5. __________
Sometimes it is very important to stay mum. Especially when you’re angry or irritated or bitter, you don’t want to end up saying things you didn’t really mean to. So they take their time, they process their emotions, think back to what happened, and then come to a decision about how to tackle it. Before you say anything, consider other’s feelings. Never be rash with words or actions.

Mum keeps telling me “Turn the radio down!” or “Can’t you listen to anything else” or “I don’t know how you can 36 with all noises.” Even my friends at school don’t appreciate the 37 I love, and my best friend told me I am a ‘radio junkie.’
I thought about the music that 38 me each day. It represented a wide range of music 39 ——I certainly wasn’t narrow—minded. I don’t only listen to hard roc, but also to music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, and it isn’t really that 40 . Perhaps my mum and dad aren’t as square as I thought they were, if that’s the sort of music they 41 .
While music is the most important 42 I listen to my radio, it’s not the only one. my favorite station has many 43 presenters, from the wake—up show to the latest night ‘stop—outs’, and with all sorts of up —beat variations in between. My ‘must—listen—to’ 44 is the top 40 countdown where I get to 45 all the latest and very best music selections.
Do I learn anything form the 46 I listen to? Of course I do! If you listen 47 to the lyrics of most songs, they have something to 48 about every aspect of life. People who are sad, mad, glad or bad, all 49 their feelings in the songs they sing or in the music they play. You see, I’m learning 50 other people cope with these feelings, and in some small way, it’s helping me too.
Competitions, talk—back programs and the dreaded ‘ads’, are all 51 of radio, but it’s the music that attracts me most. I’ve 52 learned to do all sorts of things while listening to the music on the radio. I can do my homework, play sport, have a shower, get dressed, 53 while listening to the radio!
I’d rather not be 54 radio junkie, but if that’s the word that describes my radio listening 55 most exactly, then I guess I’ll have to live with it. my music suits me and I suit my music.
36．A．talk B．think C．listen D．deal
37．A．noise B．radio C．music D．thing
38．A．surrounds B．encourages C．educates D．touches
39．A．lovers B．boxes C．lessons D．styles

查看习题详情和答案>>“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty – two?” I asked my friend. It was clear she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.
“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty – two.” Jenna announced loudly.
The next year, in fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.
The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!
I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.
“Wow, ” I said. breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”
“Okay…well…I have to go,” she said softly.
“Okay. See you late then…” and I closed the door.
“Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.
The card stared off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eight – two.”
I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her back yard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to get even and making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.
