Self-disciplined(自律的) people are not all outstanding people.       86    Some of them read every day. Some of them never run late. The real difference between an elite（精英）person and an ordinary person is that an elite person can manage his or her time well. That’s where their success comes from. What people call self-discipline is in fact self-management.
One example is staying fit. Never undervalue someone who is in good shape. Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that it’s not easy.       87    If someone is in good shape, it shows that he knows the key rules of staying fit. At the same time, he is able to stick to a plan that uses these key rules.
If someone is in good shape, it means that this person is good at managing themselves and their time. Whether it is natural or acquired(后天养成的), it is a great skill.       88    And he can balance long-term goals with short-term goals.
So if someone is in good shape, he or she is much more than just healthy.
      89    First of all, write down your reasons for wanting to achieve it. Create a list of all the things you need to do to achieve this goal. And start to work on them one at a time. With self-discipline, small things in life will no longer trouble you. Only through self-discipline can you truly own your future.
      90    Then you’re getting more and more excellent that’s close to an elite person.
A.Be more strict with yourself.    
B. It’s easy for everyone to stay fit.
C. How do you learn self-management?
D. It’s even harder to avoid putting weight back on.
E. But most people never understand the elite person.
    F. It also shows that this person is able to keep unshakable.
G.But nearly all outstanding people are self-disciplined people.

Everyone needs help sometimes.  86  That’s why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it．
For example, what would we do without a community fire station？If a home catches on fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt or worse. We’re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire safely.   87     
And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things? The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains．
    88  We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary. We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals？
Think again about what we eat every day, think again about what we wear every day.   89  We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let’s support each other and help each other．
