Linda and David have traveled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised(答应)her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much ,and to say so little.
"If there were an accident." He says, “they’d know soon enough . Bad news travels fast.”
But Linda has promised that she would ring . "However," she says, "it doesn’t cost much when you just think that it′s the other side of the world.It’s only six pence per second (每秒六便士)。"
"If you′re on that telephone for less than one minute, I’ll eat my hat, David says," And one minute’s nearly four pounds(英镑)."
"That‘s no more than you’d pay for a new hat," Linda answers.
She has asked the man at the hotel (旅馆) desk to get her the number . The telephone rings.Linda picks it up.
"Hello, Mum .Is that you ?" She says.
"Six pence per second ," David reminds(提醒) her.
“Hello, love.” It is Mrs Lee, Linda’s mother, speaking from London. "I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room .It′s a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I shouted at that time ,and still you couldn’t hear me sometimes."
"Yes ,Mum ."Linda puts in.. "I just wanted to ring to ……."
"I remember how you rang when you went to Betty‘s house to eat , when you were a little girl.And then when you …" Mrs Lee is a great talker
"Nearly four pounds." says David.
Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye.
"Yes, all right, "says Mrs Lee ," But you will write, won′t you, as you did when you were at work …"
Once again, Mrs Lee talks about the pass.and there is no stopping her.
“Four pounds fifty,”says David.
At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.
"There! That wasn′t long, was it ?"
" Four pounds, ninety pence." David answers. " And you didn’t even say that we′ve arrived."

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.
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
2.The expression "hold yourground" probably means “_________________”
A. reach an agreement
B. insist on your point
C. keep your word
D. keep on fighting
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.
根据短文内容完成表格。
The aim(目的) of students who came to school is to study. But to study requires(需要) a right way,or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying.
The best time for reading is morning,because in the morning,the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason,we can get good results(结果).
In studying we must have patience(耐心). If we have not known a text well,we must read it again. We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one.
When we are studying,we must put our hearts into the book,or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.
We must always ask "whys". If it is not well understood,write it down and ask our teachers or our parents,or friends. In any possible way,we must know it completely and what we've learned can be used well and made better.
Though there are many ways for studying,yet the above mentioned(提到的) will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.
