No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words, I’m sorry. Sometimes, though they can be difficult to say. ___1.___.

It’s not about winning.

   Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with w friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong, or by making him the first to apologize.

In reality, you’ll BOTH LOSE if you let your fight ruin your friendship, and you will BOTH WIN if you find a way to heal it.

___2.___ You may have heard the expression “ His pride stood in the way.” It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever. ___3.___ Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.

Take the first step.

   Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? ____4.____ You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long, or that you overreacted to something your friend did. If you say you’re sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same. ____5.____.

A. Then try to be the first to apologize.

B. Stop thinking about your pride.

C. It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.

D. Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.

E. Here are some things to keep in mind.

F. There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first.

G. Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a million times better.

If you live in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don't have to be like everyone else．You can be different．
I can't give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life．
1．Do less
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day．Focus not on quantity but on quality．Pick 2 or 3 important things-or even just one important thing- and work on those first．
2．Have fewer meetings
Meetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush．Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you don't have to rush from one meeting to another．
3．Give yourself time to get ready and get there
If you're constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it's because you don't allot（分配） enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling．Pad your schedule to allow time for this stuff．If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don't have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car．
4．Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothing
When people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable．Try standing in a line and just watching and listening w people around you．It takes practice, but after a while, you’ll do it with a smile．
5．Realize that if it doesn't get done, that's Ok．
There's always tomorrow．And yes, I know that's a frustrating attitude for some of you who don't like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it's also reality．The world likely won't end if you don't get that task done today．Your boss might get mad, but the company won't collapse and the life will inevitably go on．
Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed．
Remember the quote: If nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you．
【小题1】Which can be the best title of the passage?

I’m fat. I’m too skinny. I’d be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs. Do any of these statements sound familiar? Do you often put yourself down? If so, you’re not alone. As a teen, you’re going through a ton of changes in your body. And as your body changes, so does your image(形象) of yourself. Lots of people have trouble getting used to it and this can affect their confidence. w w w.k s 5 u.c o m

Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.

The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you’re very worried about your weight or size, go to your doctor to check that things are OK. But it’s no one’s business but your own what your body is like—finally, you have to be happy with yourself. w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m

Next, find which aspects(方面) of your appearance you can change and which you can’t change and need to accept— like their height, for example, or their shoe size.

If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a pan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods. w w w.k s 5 u.c o m

When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop. Try building your confidence by listing three things in your day that really gave you pleasure.
