Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.

A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, you’ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.

Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards .

Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists .

“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”

The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable . Anyone should have the right to say “no”.

In fact, rejecting (拒绝) a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.

But, for people Used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.

Most people believe that “If I say ‘no’, I'll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”

Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. “One heeds to present the situation from one’s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”

When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message .

Ban the Band(乐队)?

    Every year, our school has a dance for all the students. It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful  36  , instead of the usual school uniform.

     Most of us think the dance is great  37  -even the teachers enjoy being there.   38  , two weeks ago someone said that there would be no  39  band this year only CDs.

     “I don’t  40  it!” Amy cried out during the lunch break.

     “Someone said the school couldn’t  41  a band, and they think it’s too noisy anyway,” added Daniel.

     “Well, I don’t think it’s  42  enough without a band!” declared Angela, “and I’m going to see what can be done.”

      Angela was as good as her  43  . In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the  44  some more thought. And he suggested that one  45  for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10. Angela had to  46  out whether the students would like to do that.

     “I need all of you to help me,” she  47  to our group before school the next day. “Mr. Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each one their   48  about the band and the extra cost.”

        49  the day we asked around as Angela suggested, and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost. We were amazed how much  50  there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.

      “I’m surprised,” smiled Mr. Berry, when we gave him the  51  . “I really thought that only a few people  52  their band and that the cost would be too high. OK, Angela, your next  53  is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”

Angela was all smiles and  54  the news to Amy and Daniel. “You’re  55  ,” smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.
