分析 全文大意：
信不信由你，我一直是一位老好人．我经常优先考虑别人因为我想使我的朋友开心．如果有人请求我的帮助，我总是说"行"．Grace在成为我同桌的第一天就问我"你能帮我练习英语吗？"我毫不犹豫地说"当然．"Grace 学习一直很努力需要我的帮助，尽管我没有太多的时间．一天放学后，当我在做大量的家庭作业，Grace 的电话响了她抱怨了很多使我感到厌烦，但是我仍然感到不好拒绝．当她打完了电话，已经是中午12：15了．但是还有大量的作业要做而且我还想睡觉．这对于即将在6月参加重要考试的大三学生来说糟透了．最后我的眼泪夺眶而出．我感到太累了意识到这种压力已经影响了我的健康．我努力使自己摆脱困境．学习比其他事情重要，所以Grace 要排在第二位．现在对我来说拒绝别人很重要．Grace问"你能帮我个忙吗？"我回答道"对不起…我我要复习生物学笔记"Grace答道"好的，这由你来决定"听到她的回答我完全放松了．不管怎样拒绝别人不是那么难．说实话，自从学会了拒绝我感到更加高兴了．现在我有更多的时间学习．我仍然尽我的最大努力去帮助别人，但是有时我会说"不"因为我知道每个人都有各自的极限．
