I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible.‎ ‎ Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and Tin really proud of the independence I've achieved.‎ ‎ Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine—so much so that they make mine theirs.‎ ‎ It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me.But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.‎ ‎ I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—-but this is my home, not a party house. I am old enough to move out on my own, so why can't I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(私人空间)？‎ ‎ Joan ‎ Dear Joan,‎ ‎ If your family didn't pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.‎ ‎ And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere , you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.‎ ‎ Be dear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but 1 also need some privacy.

A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many limes he fails，In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one lo have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.‎ ‎ One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. Il is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again.Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.‎ ‎ Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones.If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.‎ ‎ Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.‎ ‎ In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether wc succeed in ihe end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermiore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.‎ Topic: Never Give Up 第五部分：课文内容填空（首字母已给出，每空1词，计10分）‎ a.
