I don’t think a day goes by when I don’t think of my father. He died twenty﹣one years ago when I was twenty﹣six. He was a good man , but I hardly saw him around home, for he ran a big company. I secretly wished something could bring him closer to me.
It wasn’t until he became seriously ill that we really got to know each other and had a place in each other’s lives. After his near death and many operations, I was trained as his nurse to take care of him. Although the job seemed boring and tiring in certain people’s eyes, I liked it. Taking care of him seemed to reduce the pain of his absence from my younger life. I enjoyed his company and attention and, though through a sad situation, I was finally getting my fill（满足）.

Each year, the gift is something different and each year, I couldn’t care less about the gift itself. You see, the gift I enjoy is the pleasure of my son’s company and knowing that we have a place in each other’s lives.

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?
Many people are afraid to assert (维护，坚持) themselves．Dr．Robert Albert, author of STAND UP, SPEAK OUT and TALK BACK, thinks it is because their self-respect is low．“There’s always a superior (长者)around—a parent, a teacher, a boss who knows better．’’ But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．
They offer assertiveness training courses, A．T．for short．In the A．T．course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be confident without hurting other people．
In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear．A group taking an A．T．course will help the timid person to lose his fear．But A．T．uses an even stronger motive to share the need．The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．
Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect．If your face is more important than you, you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your answers to problems．However, once you get to feel good about yourself, you can learn to speak out．
1.The problem the writer talks about is that___________．
A．some people are forced to buy things they don’t like
B．some people are afraid to speak up for their rights
C．many superiors are everywhere
D．some people love to help others find confidence in themselves
2.Why don’t many people feel good about themselves?
A．Because some people have a low self-respect．
B．Because talented people can be found all the time．
C．Because the advice from salesmen is always persuasive．
D．Because people don’t like to exchange ideas with others．
3.What does the underlined word “timid’’ probably means?
A．胆小的 B．有学问的
C．有社交能力的 D．好斗的
4.Which of the following is NOT the thing the A．T．course does?
A．Encourage people to speak out ．
B．Showing people they have a right to be themselves.
C．Helping them to be brave enough．
D．Helping people to assert themselves even if others are hurt．
