和以前相比，我现在常常以较宽松的标准把一个人叫做好人。

——塞缪尔·约翰逊博士论人性弗兰克，莉迪亚·汉默尔1 Human nature is the basis of character, the temperament and disposition; it is that indestructible matrix upon which the character is built, and whose shape it must take and keep throughout life. This we call a person's nature.1人性是性格、气质和性情的基础，性格正是基于这种牢不可破的基质之上的，它必须以这种基质的形式存在，并将它保留终生，这种基质，我们称之为一个人的本性。

2 The basic nature of human beings does not and cannot change. It is only the surfacethat is capable of alteration, improvement and refinement; we can alter only people's customs, manners, dress and habits. A study of history reveals that the people who walked thisearth in antiquity were moved by the same fundamental forces, were swayed by the same passions, and had the same aspirations as the men and women of today. The pursuit of happiness still engrosses mankind the world over.2人类的本性不会也不能改变，只有一些表面特征才会变化、改善和进一步提升；我们可以改变人们的风格、举止、衣着和习惯。

Work with your partner to list the behavior that is unique to human beings, that is unique to other animals and that they have in common. (P191)Starting outBased on what you’ve listed above, discuss with your partner the differences between human beings and other animals in terms of their nature and instincts. (P191)Reference:Animal instinct is ruled by desires, emotions and needs that have to be fulfilled regardless of the time and place. While human nature, which is also driven by those needs, emotions and desires, is mostly controlled by brain, which is related to logic, morals, backgrounds, religions, etc. When control is not present, our nature is basically nothing but animal instinct.Task 2The following viewpoints concerning human nature were contended by three prominent philosophers in ancient China. Who do you agree with? Do you agree completely or partly? Give specific examples to support your opinion.(P191)Confucius:humans (or at least male humans) possess the capacity for perfection, although they must consciously strive to actualize it.Mencius:human nature is good, and people are naturally inclined toward virtue. Unfortunately, the negative elements of society tend to corrupt many people, and only a few are able to overcome them.Laozi:humans at birth are like uncarved blocks of wood (pu) and as they get older, society molds and shapes them. Education brutalizes people and creates the seeds of social turmoil and negative behavior.Task 3Read the following story about Jimmy and discuss with your partner the questions that follow the story.(P192) Questions for discussion:1.

Unit One TRAITS OF THE KEY PLAYERSDavid G. Jensen核心员工的特征大卫·G．詹森1 What exactly is a key player? A "Key Player" is a phrase that I've heard ab out from employers during just about every search I've conducted. I asked a client - a hiring manager involved in a recent search - to define it for me. "Ev ery company has a handful of staff in a given area of expertise that you can count on to get the job done. On my team of seven process engineer and biol ogists, I've got two or three whom I just couldn't live without," he said. "Key players are essential to my organization. And when we hire your company to r ecruit for us, we expect that you'll be going into other companies and finding just that: the staff that another manager will not want to see leave. We recrui t only key players."1核心员工究竟是什么样子的?几乎每次进行调查时，我都会从雇主们那里听到“核心员工”这个名词。
