2013届高考英语 通用题型考前指导与仿真模拟系列 专题04 阅读理解专题指导与仿真模拟（学生版） A Are you the type of person who always says yes? I’ve come to learn that it is very important to learn to say no! It’s okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest. I don’t mean saying no to someone who really needs your help. I’m talking about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.

Maybe you feel your parents or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them that they ask. If these people are your true friends, family members, or a good boss, they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to, and if you’re someone who always says yes then that’s what they’re expecting. You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations (责任) in life to meet, but we do not have to do everything others want us to do. 56.Which of the following statements would the author agree with? A.
