Until I took Dr. Offutt’s class, I was an underachieving student. But I left that class
50 _never to underachieve again. He not only taught me to think, he convinced me, as much by examples as words, that it was my _51 obligation to do so and to serve others.
Neither of us could know how our relationship would 52 over the years. When I first came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair. My discussions with him as he mentored me were like graduate seminars in adolescent (青少年) 53 , classroom management and school leadership.
After several years, I was 54 department chair, and our relationship shifted again. I thought that it might be 55 to chair the department, since all of my former English teachers were 56 there, but Dr. Offutt supported me 57 . He knew when to give me advice about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me 58 my own course.
In 1997, I needed his 59 about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. 60 he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have. 61 , he encouraged me to seize the new opportunity.
Five years ago, I became the principal of DeMatha. 62 , Dr. Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could 63 him as I tried to fill such big shoes. I’ve learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible wealth of lessons to teach. Even if his students don’t know it yet, I know how 64 they are: I’m still one of them.

“Leave him alone,” I shouted as I walked out of the orphanage(孤儿院) gate and saw several of the Spring Park School bullies(欺负弱者的人) pushing the deaf kid around. I did not know the boy at all 36 I knew that we were about the same age, because of his size. He lived in the old white house across the street from the orphanage where I 37 .

In the summer time we didn’t get much to eat 38 Sunday supper, except watermelon and then we had to eat it behind the dining room so we would not make a mess on the 39 inside. The only time that I would see him was through the high chain-link fence that surrounded the 40 when we ate our watermelon outside.
The deaf kid started making all kinds of hand 41 , really fast. “You are a stupid idiot,” said the bigger of the two bullies 42 he pushed the boy down on the ground.

He looked like he was trying to cry, or something but he just couldn’t make any 44 .
I ran as fast as I could back through the orphanage gate and into the thick bushes. I uncovered my home-made bow which I had 45 out of bamboo and string. I grabbed four arrows that were also made of bamboo. Then I ran back out the gate with an arrow lifted in the 46 and I just stood there quietly, breathing really hard just 47 either one of them to kick or touch the boy again.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to 36 down. But moderate relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a 37 part of everyday life and there is no way to 38 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 39 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can bear 40 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 41 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 42 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 43 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 44 between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 45 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes _ 46 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 47 links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.
So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?

Maja Kazazic thought she’d never walk without pain again before she saw the dolphin Winter with an artificial tail. For a long time, she had been 36 the injured dolphin which swam around the tank. From a distance, the dolphin seemed approachable enough. Still, as Kazazic prepared herself for the jump, a little 37 crept into (开始影响) her excitement. Despite her fear, she felt strong with her 38 leg.
Several years ago, Kazazic 39 her five-year-old cousin Jasmina because of an incurable disease.

“After being in a dangerous war zone, this should be pretty easy,” Kazazic said before she 45 herself in the tank. She held out a hand to Winter, who 46 cautiously, then moved away. After a few minutes, Winter let Kazazic touch her back and nuzzled(用鼻子轻触)up to her shoulder. The two started an hour-long swim.
She would have shouted with joy 47 she quietly explained, “I used to feel like I owed somebody something, and now I’ve paid my debt.” Out in the parking lot, she made a joyful and excited cry until her voice was hoarse.

Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in bad weather. So when I went away to college, I knew I was in for a long 36 whenever I came home.

This is a true story about something that happened between a customer of General Motors and its Customer - Care Executive (客服主管).The following complaint was received by General Motors. "???It may sound crazy, but it's a fact that every time I buy a 36 ice cream, and come back from the store, my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts 37 fine, why?" The executive was 38 about the letter, but sent an engineer to check it out anyway.
The 39 made three visits to the store with the customer. The first time, he got chocolate ice cream. The car started. The second time, he ordered strawberry. The car started.

I remember my dad teaching me the power of language at a very young age. Not only did he understand that specific 36 can affect our mental pictures, but he understood that words are a 37 programming factor in lifelong success.
One particularly unforgettable event occurred when I was eight. As a child, I was always climbing trees, poles and 38 around upside down from the rafters(屋椽) of our lake house. 39 , it came to no surprise for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree, swinging back and forth. My little eight-year-old 40 didn’t realize that the tree could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was enjoyable to be up so high. My older cousin, Tammy, was also hanging in the same tree. Her mother also 41 us at exactly the same time as my dad did. About that time, a huge gust(一阵) of wind blew through the tree. I could hear the leaves rustle(嘎嘎地响) and feel the tree begin to sway. I remember my dad’s 42 over the wind, “Bart, Hold on tightly!”So I did.
The next thing I heard was Tammy’s mother yelling, “Tammy, don’t fall!” Tammy did 43________ . My dad later explained to me that the mind has a very44 time processing a negative image. It takes seventeen positive statements to offset(抵消) one negative statement. That means it might 45 seventeen compliments(贺词/道贺) to offset the emotional 46 of one criticism.
These are concepts that are especially useful in developing yourself. How many compliments do you give yourself daily and how often do you criticize yourself?

In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.
In any case, despite so much evidence to the , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.
Different cultures have different ways of people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional managers cannot.
A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.
Another trend is off-site or management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.

Those days I’ve prepared to complete my college degree. The last project was named “smile”, which required us to go out and smile at three people and 36 their reactions.
It was freezing. My friend and I went out to a fast food restaurant. We were standing in line, waiting to be 37 , when all of a sudden people around us began to back away from their position.
As I 38 I smelt a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman close to me, he was smiling and his nice sky – blue eyes searched for 39 .
To sit in the restaurant and 40 up, they had to buy something. When the young casher at the counter asked what they wanted to order, one of them said coffee because that was all they could 41 . I smiled and asked the casher for two more breakfast meals on two 42 plates. Then I walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the plates on the table and 43 the blue – eyed little man’s cold hands with my hands. With tears in his eyes, he said. “Thank you”. I noticed that all the 44 in the restaurant were set on me at that time.
I returned to college and 45 a paper about this story as my project to the instructor. She read it and though highly of my project. Just then I realized in my own way I had 46 the people at the restaurant, my friend, the instructor, and every person that shared the classroom. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn unconditional acceptance.
