举一反三
Assertiveness is the ability to confidently express your opinions, feelings,attitudes, and rights, in a way that doesn"t infringe(侵犯) the rights of others.
Many of us are taught that it is not nice to consider our own needs above those of others. If someone says or does something that we don"t like, we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.
Why is Assertiveness important?
If you don"t know how to be assertive, you might experience:
•Depression - Anger, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no control over your life.
•Resentment - Anger at others for taking advantage of you.
•Frustration - Why did I allow that to happen?
Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This makes perfect sense. It"s a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with someone you love. But the more important the relationship is to you, the more important it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others!
But before you decide to act assertively, you have to decide if you can live
with the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive
response  (积极的回应),some people  might react differently.
How to be effectively(有效地) assertive:
•Use "I" statements. Keep the focus on the problem you"re having. "I"d like to be able to tell my stories without interruption." instead of "You"re always interrupting my stories ! "
•Use facts, not opinions. "Did you know that shirt has a hole?" instead of "You"re not going out looking like THAT, are you?"
•Express ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. "I get angry when he breaks his promises. " instead of "He makes me angry. "
• Make clear and direct requirements. Don"t invite the person to say no. "Will  you please?" instead of "Would you mind...?" or "Why don"t you...?"
•Keep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don"t try to explain yourself.
小题1:The writer probably agrees that­­­____________.
A.you should consider others" response before you act assertively
B.you should be assertive if you want to get good marks
C.assertiveness is the ability to infringe others" rights.
D.assertive behavior will bring you bad feelings
小题2:The expression "hold yourground" probably means “_________________”
A.reach an agreement
B.insist on your point
C.keep your word
D.keep on fighting
小题3:Which of the following helps you to be effectively assertive?
A.Explaining yourself in a soft and sweet voice.
B.Expressing ownership of others" thoughts.
C.Making requirements directly and clearly.
D.Using your opinions instead of facts.

We were doing the best to control the fire of the burning garage. Outside, I heard the sounds of cats crying. I couldn’t stop- I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.
It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control. No one inside was hurt. At that point I was free to find out where the cat noises were from. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing to the sidewalk in front of the garage. There, crying and huddled together, were five frightened kittens . They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly hurt.
I wanted to find the mother cat. It was obviously that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all her babies, one by one----unbelievable.
We finally found her. Her paws and face were blackened, and her fur was burned all over. You could even see her reddened skin under the burned fur. She could hardly move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.
The veterinarian told me they would watch the kittens and their mother for the night, but they weren’t confident about the about the mother’s chances.
About a week later, I found out she was going to live. We named her Scarlet because of her reddened skin.
I was happy to see Scarlet get together with the kittens again. She touched each of them, nose to nose. She had risked her life five times-and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.
As a firefighter, I see heroic acts every day. But what Scarlet showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.
