Question

    There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully...64. Knowing how to make such choices is "life skill", and we need it if we want to live useful and happy lives. Some of these choices are small. For example: Will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Other choices are more important. For example: Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.

65. We have to realize that the choices we make can make a difference to the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect (影响) other people. The next time you decide to waste time, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else does your choice affect?
