We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money,but most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job,did Jim,as a friend,really feel good about it? Or did he envy my luck?" "And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back,doubts like these can make us feel bad.
But when we look back,it is too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends,or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen,we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog!"(你真幸運！) Is he really on your side? If he says, " You're a lucky guy (人，家伙) ！"，that is being friendly. But "a lucky dog?" there is a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horses. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse,that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly (肚子) or the foot of the horse,if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar (奇特的) to himself;and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way. Now the very same thing is true to literature (文學) .And the question, " How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is,you are not yet experienced (有經(jīng)驗的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question,and I think that you will often begin at the tail―that is to say,you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
( ) 1. A friend of the writer's drew the horses .
A. very well B. in the way of western rule
C. in the way of his own rule D. all of the above

A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse
C. the artist made his own rule
D. the artist did not follow other people's rule
( ) 3. You are not yet experienced because .
A. you don't know where to begin
B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C. you always asked question
D. you do not trust to your own powers
( ) 4. When you become more experienced you .
A. never ask question B. often begin at the tail
C. should write the end of the story D. should think of the beginning
( ) 5. The topic of the passage is .
A. How to draw a horse B. How to write a story
C. How to make your own rules D. Trust to your own powers

Mr. Knight was the manager (經(jīng)理) of a hotel (旅館) ，One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday night,three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. Knight said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.

I can still remember the day I met my best friend Judy. She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother. Both dared not look at each other. But soon we were no longer shy,and started playing with each other.
In the 7th grade,I was no longer so friendly with her. She was going through family problems then,and I deserted her to make friends with some more interesting people. None of my new friends liked her because they thought she was not cool. However,every summer we would visit each other,watch soap operas and talk about the boys we liked.
