3．Decide to Do Well Everybody makes decisions in daily life．They can be as important as what you wil——青夏教育精英家教网—

Decide to Do Well Everybody makes decisions in daily life．They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast．Any decision could be the turning point of your life．
I made an important decision when I was in Grade 9．Before I made that decision，I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult．I didn't know that only kids want to show themselves as adults．I didn't listen to my parents and teachers，and my grades became poor．Then came the high school entrance exam．
At the turning point of my life，my mom wanted to have a conversation with me．I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes，I felt I couldn't refuse．Instead of asking me to study hard，to my surprise，Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future．Without thinking too much，I just said I would like to study hard．
Mom smiled and asked again："I asked：what do you WANT to do？"
I never seriously thought about the question．So，I kept silent．
"Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society，"she went on，"it is your own decision．Your life ought to be decided by you，not by anyone else，including me．"After saying that，she had tears in her eyes．
For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision．I sat in my chair and thought about myself，my life and what kind of person I wanted to become．
It took me what seemed to be years to make the biggest decision．I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world．To realize it，I needed to study hard．The path to my future became clear to me．I didn't act rebelliously（叛逆地） any more．With passion （激情） in my heart，I studied hard．
Now，I'm 17and I'm in one of the best schools in my city，in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class．
Thanks to that decision，I have become what I am today．

13．A doctor was once teaching a class of medical students at a famous hospital  in Edinburgh．An injured（受伤） man was brought in，and the doctor turned to one of his students and asked him，"What's wrong with this man？"
"I don't know，sir，"the student answered．"Should I examine him and find out？"

12．When I was in college，I heard about a book titled"Looking Out for Number One"．I never read the book，and I didn't like it．I think it was because the title turned me off．I hadn't been taught to be so selfish that I should focus on only me．I thought I needed to help others and，along the way，I would also help myself．Now，I realize I should have at least considered learning more about looking out for number one．
    Many years after seeing the book about looking out for number one，I'm realizing number one，me，is the person I should care first．Jeffrey Gitomer asks the question，"Who is the most important person in the world？"Most people answer，"the customer．"He then asks，"If there were only two people left in the world，the customer and you，who would you want to survive （生存）？"Now the answer is me．
    It makes sense that if we can't help ourselves first，we will never be ready to help others．We all need to learn to control our lives and make the best decisions for ourselves．That will put us in the position to help others in the future．But many of us are slow to understand this．
    It is said that happiness will bring success，but success doesn't always bring happiness．We all want to be happy and successful．Some of us can be very happy when our basic needs are met and our family are safe．Others will seek for high levels of success，thinking that will bring happiness．I'm sure we can think of some people who are very successful，according to the world's standards （标准），but they appear to be unhappy sometimes．This is because they have been so busy working for somebody else's goals that they haven't considered their own needs．

A．made me bored	B．made me excited
C．made me happy	D．made me surprised

B．they haven't worked for their own goals
C．their basic needs are not completely met
D．they think success can't bring happiness
65．The best title for the passage can beC．
