福建中考英語閱讀練習(xí)題原文

　　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 (積極的回應(yīng))，some people might react differently.

　　How to be effectively(有效地) assertive: oUse "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?" oExpress 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...?" oKeep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don?t try to explain yourself.
