When life deals us multiple losses, we create unnecessary burdens for ourselves if we continue to ⓐ
postpone the tears and the recognition of pain. Over time, we may find it more and more difficult to cry
about anything. Or we may suddenly cry for reasons totally ⓑunrelated to our pain, as when a television
commercial sets us off. Or we may even cry in inappropriate places, as when we burst into tears in a
meeting at work. We may be storing up such a flood of emotions that we become afraid to feel, especially
when we are feeling more vulnerable with a new ⓒloss. We may begin to avoid topics that might make us
ⓓcry. Others may avoid us, frightened by the urgency of our tears when we do express our sadness.
Sorrow is not one of the popular feelings because we must be willing to allow it to ⓔsoothe us.

Our instincts tell us the higher we climb up the ladder, the more stress we feel and the weaker our
feeling of safety. Consider the stereotype of the ⓐhigh strung executive facing relentless pressure from
shareholders, employees and the firm's largest customers. We are ⓑhardly surprised when one of them
suddenly drops dead of a heart attack before fifty. Decades ago, scientists in Britain set out to study this
link between an employees's place on the corporate ladder and stress. Known collectively as the Whitehall
Studies, the studies' findings were both astounding and profound. Researchers found that workers' stress
was not caused by a ⓒlower degree of responsibility and pressure usually associated with rank. It is not
the demands of the job that cause the most ⓓstress, but the lak of control workers feel they have
throughout their day. The studies also found that the effort required by a job is not in itself stressful, but
rather the ⓔimbalance between the effort we give and the reward we feel.

Every quarter, staff members at Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Santa Clara County get together to review
individual and team objectives. Each person talks about what he or she has been doing and (A)[identifies /
disregards] how those accomplishments have helped to achieve the agency's aspirations. Then, a staff
member puts a checkmark next to each of the goals and priorities (posted on the wall) that each person
has helped the agency come closer to realizing. This process is followed by rounds of applause, whoops,
and hollers. At the end of the session, says executive director Sheila Kriefels, "We have a (B)[vague / visual]
statement about what we have all been able to accomplish as an agency. This also gives us the chance to
notice any gaps between what each of one of us is doing and what we all had said we wanted the agency
to achieve, and then where we might need to focus more of our energies in the future to (C)[abandon /
achieve] our common vision."

In a study at Stanford University, four year olds at a nursery school were offered a marshmallow. They ⓐ
were told they could either eat the marshmallow immediately or wait. If they waited to eat the
marshmallow that sat before their eyes ⓑuntil the experimenter returned (about 15 minutes), they would
receive two marshmallows. Walter Mischel, a psychologist studying delaying gratification, had three daughters
who attended the nursery school; they and their classmates participated in the study. Over the years, he
would ask his daughters about their friends, and in doing so he detected a relationship between an ability
to delay gratification in preschool and ⓒexcelled in adolescence. Mischel and his colleagues located the
participants in the initial study to more ⓓformally track their progress as they matured. They noticed that
the children who ate the single marshmallow right away were likely to have problems in the areas of
behavior, friendships, and attention. In contrast, those ⓔthat were able to delay gratification had higher.
SAT scores and coped better with stress.

We all care what those around us think, and our beliefs about the world ⓐare strongly influenced by our
peers. Indeed, when it comes to the crunch, most people would rather ⓑbe liked than be right, and they
tend to adjust their beliefs to the norms of those around them. This is particularly apparent in the case of
fashion, ⓒwhich we take our cues from other people about what is 'cool.' We may also think that various
forms of questionable behaviour such as ⓓillegally downloading music or tax evasion are acceptable on the
grounds that 'everybody does it.' however, since we tend to read things that ⓔreflect our prejudices and
associate with people who share our attitudes, we sometimes overestimate the extent to which other people
think as we do. This is known as the false consensus effect.

Programs of economic development often lead to changes in people's dietary habits.

(A)But diets change because of circumstances associated with the objectives of economic development that
are beyond the control of the local people.

(B)In some cases these dietary changes are voluntary to the extent that some new foods, associated with
powerful outsiders, are status symbols.

(C)For example, in an attempt to grow more cash crops (which help to raise wages and bring in foreign
exchange capital), non Western people often divert time and energy from growing their normal subsistence
crops.

The result is that they spend much of their hard earned cash on foods that are both costly and nutritionally
inferior to feed their families.

Toppling dominoes is pretty straightforward. You line them up and tip over the first one.

(A)Over time it adds up, and the geometric potential of success is unleashed. The domino effect applies to
the big picture, like your work or your business, and it applies to the smallest moment in each day when
you’re trying to decide what to do next.

(B)In the real world, though, it’s a bit more complicated. The challenge is that life doesn’t line everything up
for us and say, “Here’s where you should start.” Highly successful people know this.

(C)So every day they line up their priorities anew, find the lead domino, and whack away at it until it falls.
Why does this approach work? Because extraordinary success is sequential, not simultaneous. What stars
out linear becomes geometric. You do the right thing and then you do the next right thing.

The journey to discovering your authentic self promises to be the most rewarding adventure of your life.
When you know yourself, you are free. ⓐ You have a power and presence that radiates from deep within
and shines out confidently into the world. ⓑAnd you have your calling to use a power to save ones with
unbearable suffering as the spirit of self sacrifice. ⓒWhatever binds you and keeps you from living your

But sometimes a single network isn’t enough.

The source of every new idea is the same. There is a network of neurons in the brain, and then the
network shifts. (A) All of a sudden, electricity flows in an unfamiliar pattern, a shiver of current across a
circuit board of cells. (B) Sometimes a creative problem is so difficult that it requires people to connect
their imaginations together; the answer arrives only if we collaborate. That’s because a group is not just a
collection of individual talents. (C) Instead, it is a chance for those talents to exceed themselves, to produce
something greater than anyone thought possible. (D) When the right people come together and when they
collaborate in the right way, what happens can often feel like magic. But it’s not magic. There is a reason
why some groups are more than the sum of their parts. (E)

Humans have an extraordinarily large capacity for recognizing faces, voices, and pictures. As we wander
through a stream of sights, sounds, tastes, odors, and tactile impressions, some novel and some previously
experienced, we have little trouble telling the two apart. In a remarkable experiment, participants were
shown 10,000 pictures for five seconds each. Two days later, they correctly identified 8,300 of them. No
computer program to date can perform face recognition as well as a human child can. Why is this?
Humans are among the few species whose unrelated members exchange favors, such as trading goods,
engaging in social contracts, or forming organizations. If we were not able to recognize faces, voices, or
names, we would not be able to tell whom we’d (A)_________(e)d previously, and as a consequence, not
recall who treated us fairly and who cheated. Hence, social contracts of reciprocity – “I share my food with
you today, and you return the favor tomorrow” – could not be (B)__________(e)d.

Remember, the dwarves were the ones ⓐwho saved Snow White when she was down. And it wasn’t her
pretty face that won their loyalty, but it was her hard work. She didn’t groan and moan about working as a

Some things in life are important, and they deserve your full commitment. It’s important to do your best
when performing your job, cultivating your marriage, raising your children, and competing for the league
bowling championship. Giving it your all is a necessary part of success, which gives us pride and joy and a
sense of self-worth. Unfortunately, at some point early in life, we all heard someone say, “Always do your
best.” And a lot of people accepted the wisdom of this advice without ever questioning it. These are the
people who avoid trying new activities because they are afraid that someone will judge their effort and
scold them if It’s not their “best.” So these people miss out on lots of fun, mind-expanding, enjoyable
activities because of the “always do your best” mentality.
