Once inside, my teenager whispered to me, “Mom, he 41 .” And Shawn asked questions about him, not quite understanding the 42 of a homeless person. Ken and I explained the best we could, telling the kids to look to the person underneath and within 43 the dirt and smell.

After going back inside, I asked our waitress, who was bringing the kids their dessert, to 48 one soup and sandwich special to our bill. Both the kids looked at me 49 ---as we had already eaten but Ken knew exactly what I was doing.

When It’s Time to Give Up I’m sure you have been told that in order to bee successful, you must persevere (坚持), fight, stand up whenever you fall, and march forward until the end. I say those things to people all the time, so why am I telling you now that sometimes it is actually better to quit? The reason is that in certain cases, you could only go forward if you go back.
Sometimes you will be putting a lot of time and effort in achieving a goal to find out one day that your strategy is totally wrong. You could be achieving the same results in half the time had you been focusing on doing the more important things.
Let’s say your goal was to lose weight. You then set a goal to do 1000 sit-ups a day. After about 1 month of doing this, you realize that you have been disciplined enough to hit your goal of 1000 sit-ups a day, however, you aren’t getting any closer to your main goal of losing weight. This is called focusing on a secondary goal, which sometimes is the wrong strategy.
B. Teachers.
C. Teenagers.
D.
We sometimes get so focused on a secondary goal that we lose focus on the primary goal. I see this with sales people all the time. Their main goal is to make money but they often find their focus on hitting some new position within the sales department and when that doesn’t happen, they feel like a big failure. The goal never was to hit some position; the goal was to make money whether with this pany or another pany.
Would it make sense, in this case, for a sales person to quit the job if his goal of making a certain amount of money just wasn’t happening? His managers would probably call him a quitter, but his goal is to make money. If he can obtain that goal through a different source, then quitting would actually be the smart thing to do.
So when is it time to give up? When what you are doing no longer makes sense in respects to achieving your main goal. Sometimes it will make more sense to give up what you are doing and start on a different path towards the same goal.
Some people will spend their entire lives on a path to a certain goal only to find out in the end that the path they took was the wrong one. There is no shame in giving up on a path you are taking to your goal as long as you always aim to reach your goal. There’s no point in staying on a path that will lead you to nowhere. 58. Why does the author advocate giving up?
A. Because giving up halfway will save half the time. B. Because perseverance does not work in most cases. C. Because sometimes people adopt wrong strategies. D. Because no one can achieve success without hard work.
59. Which of the following is a secondary goal in the case of sales people? A. To gain recognition from their boss. C. To work for other better panies. department.
60. What is the author’s attitude towards giving up?
A. One should devote his whole life to one goal rather than give up. B. One should not regret giving up if he finds he is on a wrong path. C. One always needs to stick to the same strategy to achieve his goal. D. One should focus on primary and secondary goals before he quits.
