    Quit while you're ahead
    I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no．I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I'd rather not be doing．I get work done, but it's not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time．
    That's why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter．
    Being a quitter isn't being someone who gives up, who doesn't see important things through to the end．I aspire （渴望?） to be the opposite of that．The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there's no value in what he's doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important．
    A friend of mine once told me, "I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it．" Strange though it sounds, we all tend to do this．We get involved in something, realize we don't want to be a part of it, but keep on going．We say "Well, I've already invested so much time in this, I might as well stick it out．"
    I propose the opposite: quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested．If you're reading a book, and don't like it, stop reading．Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is to stop before your losses grow even more, and quit．Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one．Isn't that a better use of your time?
    Step back for a second．Let's learn how to say "no" at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things we'd like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing． Saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder．If we do both, we'll start to make sure that we're spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses．Let's be quitters together．
    小题1:The author wants to be a quitter, because he _____．
    A．hopes to improve his personality
    B．wishes to have more time for relaxation
    C．expects to make more efficient use of his time
    D．has found it hard to do several things at one time
    小题2:In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea?
    A．When you feel tired and need a rest．
    B．When you know a task cannot be finished．
    C．When you meet with difficulties along the way in your life．
    D．When you realize what you are doing is not worth the time．
    小题3:If you stop reading a book you hate, the author might think that ______．
    A．you are wise to cut your losses
    B．it's a pity that you have wasted so much time
    C．you should finish a book that you have started
    D．you should regret choosing the wrong book
    小题4:The message the author tries to convey is to ______．
    A．learn to say no
    B．live your life to the fullest
    C．create more value
    D．stop doing many things at once

    One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students. To make the point 1 , he used an illustration.
    As he stood in front of the group, he said, “Okay, time for a quiz.” He then pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the table. Then he    2   placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.
    When the jar was filled to the    3   and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar    4 ?” Everyone in the class said, “Yes.”
    “Really?” Then he    5  under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel（沙砾，石子），dumped some in and   6  the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space    7  the big rocks. Then he asked the group the same question. “Probably not.” One of them answered. “Good!” he replied.
    He reached under the table and    8   a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the    9   left between the rocks and the gravel.    10   he asked the question. “No!” the class shouted. “Good!” Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in    11   the jar was filled to the brim.
    Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, “What is the    12  of this illustration?” It is such a seemingly easy question that one   13   student raised his hand and said, “It is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always   14   some more things in it.”
    “No,” the speaker replied, “The truth it teaches us is that you will    15   get them in at all if you don’t put the big rocks in first.    16   the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and    17  for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with    18   things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are   19   on this short story, ask yourself what are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Then put those in your    20   first.”

    A
    Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for the London bus. The bus for London would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting in the station. Some were standing in lines; others were walking about. There was a group of schoolgirls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in order. Tom looked around but there was nowhere for him to sit.
    He walked into the station café. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down, facing a large mirror on the wall. Just then, John, one of Tom’s friends, came in and sat with Tom.
    “What time is your bus?” asked John.
    “Oh, there is plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.
    “Oh, I’ll get you some more tea then,” said John.
    They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again.
    “Good heavens! It’s going back-ward!” he cried. “A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it’s half past eleven.”
    “You are looking at the clock in the mirror,” said John.
    Tom wanted to kick himself for being so foolish. The next bus was not to leave for another hour. He has never liked mirror since then.

    Night after night, as was often the case, she’d lean down and push my long hair out of the  36 ,then kiss my forehead.
    I don’t remember when it first started   37  me. But it did. Finally one night, I shouted out as her, “Don’t do that any more – your hands are too   38 ！” She didn’t say anything in reply. But never again did my mother   39  my day with that familiar   40  of her love.
    With the years passing, my thoughts   41 to that night, when I missed my mother’s hands, missed her goodnight   42  on my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very   43 , while sometimes far away. But always it was hidden in the back of my   44 . Now Mom is in her seventies, and those hands that I   45  thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my   46 . And now my own children are grown and gone. One Thanksgiving Eve,   47  I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a   48  hand hesitantly run across my face to   49  the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so   50 , touched my brow.
    In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night and my young voice   51 . “Don’t do that any more – your hands are too rough!”   52 , I caught Mom’s hand in hand, saying how   53 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, as I did. But Mom didn’t know   54  I was talking about. She had forgotten, and forgiven long ago.
    That night, I fell asleep with a new   55  for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

    One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there  30  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She  31 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
    I was very worried because I thought I had  32  her. I was  33  and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
    “Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it  34  , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt   35  . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen     36  , but it’s really there. Love is  37 .”
    I listened carefully but I  38  her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly  39  seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked  40 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.

    “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
    “Susan, don’t  42  me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”  43  his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
    Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and  44 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just  45  in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

    I have a painfully vivid memory of my first homecoming from college, in December 1983. After three whole months away, I was back home with my brand new opinions, attitudes and tastes. How could they watch such terrible television programs? I, the English Literature major with Shakespeare and Milton and James Joyce, could hardly bear to sleep under the roof of a house whose few bookshelves held thrillers and bound editions of the Reader’s Digest. I’m sure my family was glad to see the back of me when, at the end of the holiday, I packed up my books and headed back up to university in the north of England.
    But the next year must have been even more painful to my parents: I didn’t show up at all. Now, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with young people spending a little time away from their families and with their friends.  It’s part of growing up, something you need to do if you are to become properly independent. However, if you’re not going to be home for the festival, you should at least have the decency to telephone and say you’re not coming.
    In English we have an expression, “wet behind the ears.” A person who is wet behind the ears is so immature, that they don’t know how to dry the back of their head after a bath. Just before the following year’s holiday I fell ill, quite seriously so. I’m sure my own behavior contributed to my getting sick: staying out too late, not eating properly—perhaps you know someone like the person I was then. I lay in bed with a fever, feeling very sorry for myself.
    I’m sure you can guess who came to my rescue. My long-suffering parents got in their car and sped up the motorway to rescue their son from the consequences of his own irresponsibility.
    I hope I’m a better son now; if not, it’s getting a little late in the day if I want to change. I’ve worked in China for nearly 10 years and so I don’t get to see them as often as I like, but my parents are online all the time so we talk many times each week. And this Spring Festival I will be flying back to England for a visit. 
    I’m really looking forward to it.
