Perhaps what we like most about the successful man who has a sense of humor is that he doesn"t seem to take himself too 36 . The average person expects the man in a powerful   37  to be too vain and self-centered. “Walt Dizzy is just a plain, ordinary guy. It"s absolutely amazing,” Harvey tells his friends, “He"s really not different from any one of us. Boy, I"ll tell you, success didn"t spoil him.”   38 it was Walt Dizzy"s aptitude for making the people around him feel 39  that relaxed everyone who met him and gave people the impression that he’s “one of the boys’’.
It"s always a surprise and a   40  when people discover that successful individuals are basically not different from anyone else. The majority of people   41   highly successful men and women to be very solemn and earnest because they   42 such big decisions. An executive who has a relaxed   43   and good sense of humor leaves a favorable impression. You"ve undoubtedly often heard someone say,  44   discussing one of these tycoons(大人物), “I can identify with him.” The party who makes the remark has absolutely    45  in common with the tycoons, but the    46  atmosphere, not the man himself, becomes the means of identification.
Greeting someone  47   whom you are about to do business with a warm smile is the best way to introduce yourself. People can"t  48   immediately liking such an individual. He seems humble, and they"re impressed with his informal manner. They notice his “human side,” and he   49   them over at once. People want to cooperate with this kind of man. A   50   first meeting sets the stage beautifully for the formal discussions.
On the other hand, there"s the humorless, dull type who turns you completely   51   .Stanley Shtick, president of a large food company, is a good   52 . “He is the coldest fish I’ve  53    met,” says Zelda Zoftik, “You would think he was the King of England, the way he acts,” she  54  . “The longer it is before I meet with him again, the   55  .”

解析
幽默通过创造一种愉快而友好的气氛来减轻不幸和苦恼。僵硬的表达让别人不舒服,微笑和机智却能熄灭怒火、减轻沮丧、抚慰绝望。幽默能促进更好的沟通和理解,因而不仅把快乐带给自身,而且更重要的还能让别人感到高兴。幽默感确实能提高一个人受欢迎的程度。幽默感通常是在人际交往中是非常重要的。

Learning how to be patient with people can be challenging for some. After all, not everybody is gifted with great patience. The good news is that it is something that can be learned and eventually perfected.
When the customer before you takes ages to pay for his or her groceries, you tap your foot impatiently and cough every now and then; but no, the customer is still not hurrying up. It takes all of your power not to make a scene.  However, if you picture that customer to be someone you like (say your partner), then you will find yourself not getting too annoyed, right? So the next time you find yourself losing patience with somebody, simply visualize that person to be someone you really, really like and your patience will extend its life.
The second step on how to be patient with people involves whistling. When you whistle a happy tune, you instantly cheer up. You can sing your favorite song if you can"t whistle - it really doesn"t make a difference. What"s important here is that you have done something that makes you feel good. And when you feel good, you are more likely to be patient with the people around you.
Next, when you"re stressed, it"s almost impossible to learn how to be patient with people. If you know you"re going to be in a situation where your patience will be tested, meditate or get yourself a massage(按摩) first. Don"t dive into anything unless you"ve managed to clear yourself off negative emotions. Remember: the more stressed you are, the faster you"ll lose your temper. The less stress you have in your life, the longer your patience.
Learning how to patient with people is not a necessity in life. You"ve seen people who manage to survive day to day with incredibly bad tempers after all. But do you really want to live like they do? If, however, you want a life that has better quality than that, then just follow these steps and embrace the fact that patience is a virtue.

What Is a Boy?
Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males send them off to bed at night.
Boys are found everywhere –--  on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature destroying the world and himself with it
A boy is a mixture – he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion (消化) of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker(鞭炮), but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand.
He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.
Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things.
A boy is a magical creature – he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13 . My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to EL Capitan, a  36  rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew  37  I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion ever since— 38  the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my  39 .
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of  40 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s  41  me why visitors started respecting the place 42  and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried  43 trash myself, but the job was too big. I would  44  an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so  45  it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew  46  about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a  47 . On that day, more than 300 people  48 . Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to  49 . I couldn’t believe the  50  we made —the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and  51  132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people  52  about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by  53  rather than complaining. We need to teach by  54 . You can’t blame others  55  you start with yourself.
