1、I was taught at a young age to be afraid rather than to experience life. Don't ride a bike because you might get hit by a car. Don't swim because you might drown. That's why I was at the very beginning afraid to come near to others. They might say no — how could I live with that rejection(拒绝)?
A book changed me. Near the end of the book, the writer suggested trying out what I had just read but to pretend it was like the training games in a sport — where the results didn't count. When my teams would lose formal games, I couldn't bear to watch. But when they lost in the training games, I didn't care.
I don't know why the suggestion resonated with me. But I knew this new way of thinking worked for me. It gave me power to know the results didn't matter because this was the exhibition game when I was practicing what I had learned before the real games started.
I discovered there were other ways to use this new tool. It allowed me to have a successful sales career, even though I heard the word "no" hundreds of times. It was part of the business, but I didn't let it get me down. I turned a negative into a positive by reasoning that every time I heard the word "no", it meant I was one step closer to "yes". It's amazing how powerful you feel when you remove the fear that stops you from going after what you want in life.
I still do my sales job, and we have a lot of high-school and college students working at the company. I will pass on the advice that I learned many years ago and encourage them to use that idea for whatever they want to achieve.

The number of female suffering from eating disorders is (universal) far higher than male. Chen says the rate of female to male sufferers is (large) than 10 to 1 in China.

A 19-year-old woman, finally ended her two-year fight with anorexia (厌食症), says that she believes fact that female patients are in greater number than male patients is a result of societal expectations.
"One reason that I finally defeated the disease was that I (become) aware that the idea of thinness and weight instilled in women is harmful to my health and how painful and difficult it would be to live with a body like that. But for many going through teenage years, to meet these (standard) of beauty becomes unshakable. I hope to help more women overcome these concepts," says the woman, (use) the nickname Lam.

20、In a small village nestled at the foot of a towering mountain lived a young woman named Maya. She had always been fascinated by the mountain's1 beauty. Every day, she would look up at the peak, imagining what it would be like to stand at the top and see the world from that2.
One day, Maya decided that it was time to make her dream a reality. She3 a small bag with essentials and4 on her journey. As she climbed, the5 became steeper and more challenging, but Maya didn't6.
Halfway up the mountain, Maya encountered a group of climbers descending (下来). "Turn back," they7. "The climb is too difficult, and the weather is8." For a moment,9 crept into Maya's mind. She felt tired, cold, and unsure if she could continue.
But then, Maya remembered why she had started the climb in the10 place. She wanted to prove to herself that she was capable of achieving her dreams, no matter how difficult the journey. With renewed11, she thanked the climbers for their concern but decided to continue.
As she climbed higher, the air grew thinner, and every step became a(n)12, but she refused to give up. She knew that each step forward, no matter how small, brought her closer to her goal.
Finally, Maya13 the summit, looking out over the vast landscape below. The14 at the top was more breathtaking than she had ever imagined, and tears of joy filled her eyes.
