话题 拒绝的技巧 体裁 说明文 主旨概括句 1个

The word “no” is one of the first words we learn how to master. Spend time around any kid and I’m sure you’ll hear “no” used frequently. 1

Often it is because we don’t want to let others down and telling people “no” makes us feel guilty. We want to meet the needs of others, but unfortunately this comes at our own expense. 2 Because knowing when to say “no” to others helps us say “yes” to ourselves. Here are three tips to help you say no without feeling guilty.

Know your worth. Depending on the request, it is important to think of your worth. What is the other person asking for? Precious time you need to spend on self-care? Financial resources that you aren’t in a place to lend? What would be the cost of this request? 3

4 No should always mean no, but unfortunately that’s not the case. If you have received a request that is a firm no for you, it’s Ok to be frank about it. Don’t feel like you need to beat around the bush or give a “maybe” if you truly mean no. Stand your ground and state your “no” with kindness and respect.

Offer an alternative solution. If saying “no” in this instance truly makes you feel bad, try offering an alternative solution for the request. 5 You can point the individuals to another resource or giving them advice on other ways to satisfy their request.

【押题报告】本文所涉及的话题是拒绝的技巧，与《课程标准》所列的话题日常活动相对应，是日常生活人际关系中经常要使用到的技能；从结构和体裁上看是一篇典型的“总——分”式说明文，与历年高考所选用的说明结构相契合，文章构层次分明、结构严谨，前两段是总述部分，引入话题并说明了为什么要掌握拒绝的艺术，接下来说明了三个拒绝的技巧；从考查选项上看，涉及到对细节过渡句，主旨句和细节支撑句的考查。

【试题分析】本文是一篇说明文，文章说明了为什么要掌握拒绝的艺术并介绍了三个拒绝别人的技巧。

1. F。本题考查过渡衔接句。本选项与前面提到孩提时代经常说不构成转折关系，并且下一段的首句还分析了成年人难开口说不的原因，由此可知这里要说明：随着年龄的增长我们发现越来越难张口说不，所以选用F选项。

2. G。本题考查过渡衔接句。前一句提到满足别人的需求会往往是以牺牲自己为代价的，由此可知此处要说明掌握拒绝的艺术就是一种自我保护，并且下一句陈述了这样做的原因和益处，所以选用G选项。

3. D。本题考查细节支撑句。本选项与本段的主旨“Know your worth”相照应，说明要花点时间考虑一下你所拥有时间和资源的价值，所以选用D选项。

4. A。本题考查主旨概括句。由下文中的说明及关键“firm”以及“Stand your ground and state your “no” with kindness and respect”可知本段的主旨是：坚定但要有礼貌地拒绝，以选A选项。

5. E。本题考查细节支撑句。由上下句和选项中的“no, but”可知这里是对对主旨——拒绝的同时提供其它解决方案的展开说明，所以此处选用E选项。

【得分锦囊】利用文章的标题、小标题、项目符、序号和突出的字体等信息解题。有些命题材料保留了标题和小标题，有时行文中还包含有项目符、序号或突出的字体等信息，在解题时要充分运用这些信息，这些信息有助于理清文本结构、文章的主旨和段落的主旨。如本文就出现了突出的字体信息，其出现的位置为解题提供了两方面的信息，一是文章后三个段落应该是平行并列关系，是文章的分述部分，二是突出字体部分均在段首，是段落的主旨句，

由些可以推断出第四段的首句也应该是段落的主旨句，并且其结构和表达方式应该与前后两段的首句有一致性，均用到言简意赅的祈使句。 【词语积累】

1. at one’s own expense以某人自己为代价 2. financial adj. 财政的；财务的； 金融的 3. frank adj. 坦白的，直率的 ；清楚表明的 4. beat around the bush旁敲侧击 5. instance n. 例子，实例；情况

6. individual n. 个人，个体 adj. 个人的，个别的

The original passage:

How to Master the Art of Saying No

The word “no” is usually one of the first words we learn how to master. Seriously. Spend time around just about any toddler and I’m sure you’ll hear “no” used frequently and liberally. Yet as we get older, the word “no” becomes harder and harder to say – especially for women.

Often times it is because we don’t want to let others down and telling people “no” makes us feel extremely guilty. We want to meet the needs of everyone around us, but unfortunately this comes at our own expense.

Mastering the art of saying “no” is one of the best forms of self-care you can implement, because knowing when to say “no” to others helps us say “yes” to ourselves. Here are three tips to help you say no without feeling guilty.

Know Your Worth

Depending on the request, it is important to factor in your worth. What is the other person asking for? Precious time you need to spend on self-care? Financial resources that you aren’t in a place to lend? What would be the cost of this request, and is it one you can afford to take, specifically from a self-care perspective? Take a moment to consider what your time and resources are worth, and how they would be best used. Keeping a practical mindset can help combat feelings of guilt.

Be Firm, but Polite

No should always mean no, but unfortunately that’s not the case. If you have received a request that is a firm no for you, it’s ok to be upfront about it. Don’t feel like you need to beat around the bush or give a “maybe” if you truly mean no. Saying no once is far easier than having to say it two or three times from lack of clarity. Stand your ground and state your “no” with kindness and respect.

Offer an Alternative Solution

If saying “no” in this instance truly makes you feel bad, try offering an alternative solution for the ask that doesn’t cut into your ability to practice self-care. Whether it’s pointing the individual to another resource, to giving them advice on other ways they can satisfy their request, often times a “no, and…” feels better than “no.”
