If you insist on me having a little out-of-order box, I will use it, but I insist that it remain clean. That means I use it, you clean it.

12、e dirty, got it? Still another problem is about my food. I dont want bones of a fish, I want fish itself, and you take the bones.

17、 a house of their own. So they buy a house that lies in an area where houses are cheaper. It is better to live in a bad place of town, they think, than not to live in a house at all. Or they buy an old house and design it again. Then they fill it with old-style furniture. Sometimes they can make an

18、old house look more beautiful than a new one.Usually it is not difficult for people to find an old house to buy, because many older people think that they dont need a big house after their children leave house.

31、n still have an uneasy relationship with power and the traits（特質(zhì)） necessary to be a leader.

We are still working at trying to overcome the fear that power a

32、nd womanliness are mutually exclusive（互斥的）. In my case, I think I may have had an easier time dealing with this fear because my first taste of leadership came in a situation in which I was a happily ignorant outsider.

36、s laughed at for my accent and was demeaned（貶低） as someone who spoke in a funny way. But it also taught me that it is easier to overcome peoples judgments than to overcome our own self-judgment, the fear we internalize. Aleksandra Solzhenitsyn said, “If you want to change the world, who do you begin

37、 with, yourself or others” I believe if we begin with ourselves and do the things that we need to do and become the best person we can be, we have a much better chance of changing the world for the better.41.
