Do you have a hard time saying no to others? Do you say "yes" when you really mean no? You're not alone. Many people end up saying "yes" to something they don't really want to do for several reasons. It is necessary to learn how to say "no".
"I'm sorry. I just don't have the time at the moment."1.After all, your own work comes first. The other person will understand, especially if they also have a busy job.
"I don't think I'm the best person to help you out. Why don't you try...?" If you think you can't be of any help then simply say no. 2.Recommend that person instead. This is a good one to use at work.
"Let me get back to you." Sometimes you first have to check your schedule before you can make a promise. 3. This will waste the other person's time, which could have been spent finding someone else who would say yes.
"I would rather refuse than say sorry later." 4.The other person will appreciate your honesty. You could even say, "I'd rather say no now than I'm sorry later." However, you must never offer to do something in the future if you don't mean it. This will turn out to be much worse than simply saying no in the first place.
"No". This is the simplest and most direct way. Simply say "no". 5.We spend so much time thinking of good excuses when being direct is often the simplest and best way.
A. There is no doubt you have said no a few times.
B. If you are too busy then let the other person know.
C. There is no need to add any derails unless asked for.
D. You might be asked to do something when you are busy.
E. Maybe you know someone else who would be better suited for the task.
F. When you know you won't be able to do the best job you can, simply say so.
G. But it's not a good idea to say this when you really mean no in the first place.
Popular culture often shows alcohol as a big part of the college experience in the United States. Television programs and movies about American college life have images of wild parties with young people either drinking alcohol or holding a drink.
Now, a new study of alcohol use suggests that some college students may be missing meals so they can have more drinks or get drunk faster. Researchers are calling this kind of behavior "drunkorexia".
The study involved 1,184 college students between the ages of 18 and 26. Researchers found that 80 percent of those studied had demonstrated some kind of drunkorexia in the past three months. They had performed heavy physical exercise, eaten low calorie meals or even missed meals for up to a full day before drinking alcohol.
Dipali Rinker organized the study and presented its findings to the Research Society on Alcoholism in June. She says students see drunkorexia as a way to keep their body weight down while drinking alcohol. And it causes them to feel the effects of alcohol quickly and with more intensity(强度). Rinker says unhealthy eating habits are only one of the reasons why this type of behavior is dangerous. Heavy drinking is linked to drunk driving, unprotected sex, and alcohol poisoning.
George Koob, who directs a U.S. governmental agency that studies alcohol related problems, says that the percent of students using alcohol has not increased in recent years. But what worries him is that the number of students drinking to the point of "blacking out" has increased. Blacking out is when a person drinks so much alcohol they have no memory of their actions while drunk.
Koob notes that college students in Canada and Europe also face issues with alcohol. But he feels a big part of the problem is that Americans do not fully understand alcohol's effects. Most people do not know the part of the brain where decisions are made is not fully developed until age 25 and that alcohol harms the development of that part of the brain, he adds.

2.What can heavy drinking result in?

3.Which of the following is the result of blacking out?
