Going to a new school can feel like starting all over again.You may feel like sad or angry

about leaving your old school or friends.You may feel excited about a new beginning or a “fresh

start”.You may feel nervous about having to meet new people.All of these feelings are normal

when you start at a new school.

Most kids worry about fitting in at their new school.It’s common for a new kid to feel like an

outsider for the first few weeks.Although you can be lonely,you can help yourself fit in by being

friendly.Even if you are nervous,try to smile,say hello and ask questions.

Here are two places where you might meet friends in a new school:

●The classroom:Look around you.Is there anyone who you can talk to?Do you take part in

group activities in class?If so,try to join a new group every time.

●Playground:Most schools offer many team sports.Try to join these sports.

Some kids worry about their teachers when they start a new school.Even if the teachers are

supportive,it can take some time to adjust(适应) to new rules or ways of teaching.Try talking to

them about your problems.Besides,with a familiar face in the front of your classroom you may feel

more comfortable during the first few weeks of school.

Most people say "yes" much more readily than "no".

A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what

you really wanted is a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire

weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for "reference". But, you've

just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.

Many people say "yes" to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own

interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.

Saying "no" requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.

"Everyone wants to be liked," says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. "Saying 'no'

risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job."

The result is that many people say "yes" just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is

regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say "no".

In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a

true feeling.

But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable

learning process.

Most people believe that "If I say 'no', I'll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is

important to me." This way of thinking can be replaced by this: "If he only likes me because I

always do what suits him, then the price of his affection is too high in the long term."

Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. "One

needs to present the situation from one's own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can

be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his

interests are being considered."

When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the

person gets the message.

A.they don't care about their own interests and feelings

B.they don't know they will regret afterwards

D.they care more about others' affection

2. According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other person's request?

A.Just say you can't help him.

B.Say sorry to him.

C.Refuse him clearly.

D.Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.

3. According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?

A.Say yes to him.B.Repeat your reason for his acceptance.

C.Just go away.

D.Say no to him.

4. What is the best title of the passage?

A.You Need Courage to Say "No"

B."Yes" More than "No"

C.Nobody Has the Right to Say "No"

D.It's Easy to Say "Yes"

A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance

We all want it...to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out

of reach.

1

Here's a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.

● 2

Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow

them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than

theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.

●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our

shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures.

3

You will make mistakes, time and time again.

Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a

compassionate(有同情心的) response? “That didn't go as planned. But, I tried my best.”

●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to

look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a

job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today.

4

●Now that you've listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal.

Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don't feel good enough. Now, read these words

back to yourself.

5

Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.

See how awesome you are?

A.Feeling upset again?

B.Where do you start?

C.Nothing is too small to celebrate.

D.Remember, you are only human.

F.Stop comparing yourself with others.
