What to Do when Someone Doesn’t Like You When someone tells me, “I don’t care if people like me,” they are showing me the emotional wall they use to block the hurt of rejection. As humans are social animals, all of us care if people like us. Based on the need for social connections, your reactions to rejection and negative judgment can range from minor hurt to breakouts of depression. 1. The first step to handle a negative situation is to recognize your reaction. Ask yourself, “What am I feeling?”. 2. Any betrayal (背叛) or embarrassment in your heart? Identify what feeling has shown up in your body, so you can choose what to do next. 3. When you sense yourself being shut out or feel defensive, ask yourself what the person actually means to do to you. Does he truly mean to offend you, or make fun of you? Your brain works very hard to keep you safe, so it will judge a situation threatening if there is any possibility of social harm. When our brains sense a possible threat, we react as if we were personally attacked. Take a breath to relieve (减轻) the stress. 4. Finally, if you believe the person doesn’t like you, ask yourself if this matters. 5. If not, what can you do to release your need to be liked by this person? And, what can you do to stay neutral and not return the dislike? The more you can come to accept others as who they are, the more you can move forward with your goals regardless of whether someone likes you or not. A. If you can, look the person in his eyes. B. Do you feel any fear or anger in your head? C. Ask yourself what is true about the situation. D. Often people do not realize the impact of their words. E. Will the person’s judgment of you impact your work or life? F. The ability to let a show of dislike roll off your back is a learned skill. G. This will help you relax at present and take you out of your trembling mind.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。 Growing up on a small farm,I lived a life that I took for granted. My father worked in the city as a plumber(水暖工). He was not highly educated,but he was smart,looking at problems in an engineer’s way. He was a man made of leather,brass and chewing tobacco who tried to teach my brother and me useful things,including respect. He also had a temper and was strict with us for he would scold us when we made some careless mistakes. Sometimes,my father seemed like a distant enemy to me and I didn’t like him very much. One day I came home from primary school and his car was already there. Once inside,I was told by my mother that he didn’t feel well. His back hurt. My father never missed work;in fact,when he came home,he went to the barn to work even more. I remember looking at him secretly around the corner as he lay on his bed in the middle of the day. Later,my mother told me he got multiple myeloma (多发性骨髓瘤),a type of blood cancer. As the cancer grows,the person will shrink because the disease destroys the body’s energy and the abnormal antibodies cause problems for other cells and tissue. Bones eventually look like Swiss cheese,and when they break,they may never heal. But I didn’t realize that my father’s time was rather limited and just treated him the same way I used to. For the last year of my father’s life,his entire day consisted of rising from his hospital bed in the living room and walking to his chair to sit and think. He was predictably in that chair when I came home one day during the ninth grade. I do not remember where my mother and brother were,but the two of us were alone. 注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好; 4. 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: He asked me to sit down and what he told me still moves me these decades later. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At that moment,I realized that he was doing more than telling. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
