　　题目：Don't Hesitate to Say No
        　　参考范文：
        　　As a general rule, people like to help others, but there are occasions when
you should say no to requests for favors. For instance, it is better to refuse
when a child pesters you for sweet food and drinks or for too many toys. Another
example is when a relative asks you to use your influence to get him or her a
bank loan or a work promotion.
        　　However, we cannot ignore the fact that many people are reluctant to say
no. They feel that if they turn down a request from a relative or friend, they
will cause ill-feeling within the family or become unpopular with their
acquaintances. A notable case in point is when the boss asks them to do
something which they feel is unreasonable.
        　　It is important to keep in mind that not saying no when you should say no
can sometimes have harmful consequences. If children are given everything they
ask for, not only may their health be damaged, but they may grow up selfish and
spoilt. Again, in the long run it is kinder to refuse to lend money to a person
who has a gambling or alcoholism problem.
